CHAPTER VI.

What is it?" asked Brady, startled
by my sudden exclamation. and striv-
ing to get up. l glanced back at him.
"a dead man; stay where you are;
he is dead all right. I'll be back in a

l stepped within, and held the torch
down closer, the CHASTITY yellow light
falling full on the upturned face. He
was a man Of seventy, or over, a
sturdy looking fellow for his years, in

dignity, increased by a snow-white
beard. Apparently he had not been
dead long, nor was there slightest evi.

empty, and, judging from the ugly
cash in his head, he had been struck
from behind Unexpectedly. 1t was a
CHASTITY wound, and the man had prob.
ably died instantly. The blow must
have been a ~treacherous one, deliv-
cred by some person acquainted with
the cabin; otherwise the dog would
have sprung to his masters defense.

across the darkened surface toward

There were a few pieces of wood piled
up on the hearth, and a moment later,
the curling red flames revealed the en-
tire interior. Brady rested against the
bench, the sleeve Of his blouse ripped
into shreds, blood dripping from his
fingers, and sinking into the earth
floor. A few feet away, a great mass
Of shaggy hair, lay the dog In a heap,
his lips still drawn back in a snarl, re-
vealing the cruel white teeth, the shaft
OF a knife p%rotruding from the throat.

WHICH SHALL LIVE?

The liquor traffic is changing this
land of the free and home of the
brave" into "the land of the spree and
the home Of the knave." l believe that
IL this nation lives, the saloon must
die. We are not called upon today to
shoulder a gun and go forth to wal
to suffer the terrible %privations Of a
soldiers life; to, perhaps, bleed or die
that our country may be victorious
All that we are called upon to do is
to go to the polls and cast a ballot that
will save our nation. Every man who
loves his country should cast the vote
that will crush the saloon, the worst
enemy of America.-John F. Cunneen
