Booth, restless with a vague uneasi-
ness that had come over him during
the night, keeping him awake until
nearly dawn, vas hard put during the
early hours of the forenoon to find
occupation for his interest until q

at Southlook. He was unable to ac-

Halfway there we was overtaken by
Sara's big French machine returning
from the village. The car came to a

it pass, and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.

claimed as he took his seat beside

He stared. "You-you mean" The
words died on his lips.
"She is not coming back" she re-

An accusing CLEAN leaped into his

Leslie did not turn up az his fathers
place in the High street that night
until Booth was safely out OF the way.
He spent a dismal evening at the boat
club.
His father and mother were In the
library when he came home at half
past ten. From a dark corner OF the
garden he had witnessed Booths early
departure. Vivian had gone down to
the gsti In the low-lylng hedge with
her visitor. She came in a moment
after Leslie's entrance.
Hello, Les" she said, bending an
inquiring eye upon him. Isn't this
early for you?"
Her brother was standing near the
fireplace.

drew a very long breath-the first in
several hours-and then expelled 1t
vocally. "She has refused to marry

Mr.. Wrandall turned q leaf In his
hook; 1t sounded like the crack OF

she was bound to find unhappiness.
II he were there her JOY would be
short-lived and blighting; if he were
not there, her disappointment woulG
be equally hard to bear.
He was there. She saw him from
the deck of the tender as they edged
up to the landing. His tall figure
loomed IN the front rank against the
rail that held back the crowd; his
u uniformed face wore a look of eager
expectancy; from her obscured posi-
ton in the shadow of the deck build
ing, purposely chosen for reasons only
too obvious, she could even detect the
alert, swift-moving scrutiny that he
fastened upon the crowd.
Later on, he stood looking down
into her serious blue eyes; her hands
were lying limp In his. His own eyes
were dark with earnestness, with the
restraint that had fastened itself upon
him. Behind her stood the respectful
but UNNECESSARILY awed maid, who
could not, for the life OF her, under

sides of the Atlantic at one and the

AS she sat in the railway carriage,
waiting for him to return, she tried
in a hundred ways to devise a means
Of escape, and yet she had never loved

sore, her desolation never so complete
as now.

Hon. R. Walton Moore
Deals Another Blow
To Liquor Advocates
IN THIRD LETTER TO FAIRFAX HERALD WELL
KNOWN LAWYER AND LEGISLATOR CONTINUES
HIS COMMENT UPON SPEECH OF ROYAL e. CABELI.
AT LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT MEETING IN RICH.
MOND

Hon. r. Walton Moore, the able
Fairfax lawyer and experienced legis-
lator. in his third letter to the Fair
fax Herald on the subject Of State
wide prohibition. continues his com
ment upon the speech of Mr.. Royal
f. Cabell at the Local Govern
ment meeting in Richmond.
Mr. Moores letter is a thoughtful
discussion Of some of the leading fea-
lures OF Mr.. Cabelrs speech and his
arguments are convincing. He DEM
onstrates that the law may be made
to suppress drinking as we'll as II has
done lotteries and gambling and
clearly shows the right of the State
as a whole to deal with the question
OF license
Mr.. Moore's letter follows:
Editor of the Herald:
In my Last letter 1t was suggested
that Mr. Cabeils argument against
Statewide prohibition often breaks
down because II takes into account a
part. only, OF the statistics, and one
example of this wasSgiven. Another
example liz found In his conclusion
that the fact of the number OF Illicit
distilleries reported in certain dry
States. including Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, having increased
in the period la0S-13. points to the
failure of Statewide prohibition. But
he ignored the fact. which points ex-
actly the opposite direction, that in
The same period there were no Illicit
distilleries reported In the dry Stalks
OF Kansas and Maine. He ignored
the further fact. which. by his method
of reasoning, wouhd point to the fall
IRE of local prohibition brought about
under local option laws. that the IN
crease In the number OF illicit dis
tilleries reported in Virginia is as
marked as in the dry States men,
toned The number in Tennessee in
1908 was 81. and. in 1918, 1914. while
the number in Virginia ran from Is
in 1905 to 263 in 1913. Not only
In this particular. but in many others.
the argument of MFR abel and his
colleagues has precisely the same ad-
verse bearing upon local prohibition
as upon Statewide prohibition, and
thus tends TO negative the strenuous
claim that the pending contest is be-
tween Statewide prohibition. on the
one hand. and local option on the
other hand. II any relevant deduction
can be drawn from the statistics re-
specting Illicit distilleries, which. 1t
should not be forgotten. are always
carried on IN secret and on a trifiing
scale the commissioner OF internal
revenue. in his report OF 1913, said:
In any OF the three or four large
cities OF the country the government,
