The convict followed the man into

round and took the prisoners hand in

Smith, you are a free man. he

ems above him and heard the clang OF
the prison gates behind the tears
streamed down his cheeks.
He went to the little cottage where
his wife had lived. The place was
for sale. Nobody knew anything
about her. Smith spent weeks trying
to locate her. That he did so at last
was purely by chance He met her
father In the street. The old man
passed by as though he did not see
him. Smith ran back and seized him
by the arm.

she is" he cried. She is not dead

Smith had killed one man, and the
memory of his crime was strong upon
him. Nevertheless he was ready tc
kill another. He looked around; the
street was almost empty and 1t was
growing dark. He seized the old mar
by the throat.
Tell me where she lives, or will
strangle you" the ex-convict shouted
He saw look of terror in the 9th

IMPORTED DRINKS
 MORE EXPENSIVE NOW

New York, Aug. 19.-Importe ed drink of all kinds is now on sale only at prices which are almost prohibitive at all the leading hotels, clubs and restaurants along Broadway and Fifth avenue. .
 There are legitimate reasons for the war prices'' in some cases, but in most instances the boost is akin to extortion now being practiced by the meat packers and produce dealers. At the Lambs, the Friars and the- atrical clubs, imported drinks of all kinds have been advanced from five to ten cents in price. There has been about the same rate of advance at all the leading hotels.
 Scotch whiskey, the commonest of all imported drinks, which sold at fifteen cents, or two for a quarter, has been advanced to twenty cents straight for the cheapest brands and thirty cents for the finer grades.
 Absinthe, Amer Picon, Dubonnet, the imported brandies, gins, cordials and liquors, have gone way up. At the Knickerbocker and the Astor, ab- 'sinthe frappe is now forty cents glass, and French liquors and brandfes are retailed at the same price.
 Gin has so gone up that the cooling gin-rickey, made out of any of the foreign brands of gin, now costs twen- ty-five cents at the principal hotels. Even the price of domestic gins has been raised, although there is no dis cernable reason why this should be done. '...
 In the case of absinthe the advance I'm portation of absinthe into this coun- try has been prohibited by United States statute. The stock of the green liquor on hand here is large and it could not be increased under any circumstances, but the wholesale dealers have, nevertheless, raised the price about ten per cent. and retailers about tewnty-f1ve per cent, offering in most instances "the war; as an excuse Stocks of Scotch and Irish whiskey are large and there is no req son why the price should be put up and these goods will undoubtedly con- tinue to be imported in large quan- titles, and the same applies to the various brands of English gin, but nevertheless prices have been boosted all around, because of "the war;"
 Champagne has been advanced in price fifty cents bottle at all the clubs and about $1 a bottle at the hotels.
 Imported beers and ales have also gone up and the brewers are about to raise the price of domestic beer. It is expected that the high prices for foreign alcoholic beverages will result in a greater consumption of domestic spirits, wines and beers, which in due time will also advance in price.
 Many of the big hotels have large stocks of imported liquors and will make a greatly increased profit on all these goods by taking advantage of the European situation to gauge their customers.

KEENEY'S FINE BILL
 IS TAKING WELL

The Damascus troupe of flying ac- robats are making a big hit at Keen ey's theater and another big au- dience loudly applauded them last evening" Their act is not only new in the acrobatic line but the ease and skill with which they perform ren- ders their work so wonderful that the Keeney patrons are delighted with it. There is always something doing while their turn is on and the rapidity with which the stunts follow each other gives it a touch of real humor The Levy family of musicians is also winning its share of the applause. It is one of those refined acts that delights people whether they under stand the technical part of music or not. The instrumental work is of the best and the singing of Mrs. Levy is good.
 The program has plenty of variety and in the work of White and White the best of dancing is given. This team adds some comedy steps to it's regular work, making a combination that is pleasing the big Keeney au- diences. Claude Austin is there with his clever feats of juggling and Ernest sketch, ''The Grafter,'' with a clever ness that is appreciated. A new line of pictures will be shown this even- ing and the splendid vaudeville bill will be repeated.
