CHAPTER XVII.
John Valiant Asks a Question.

John Valiant Asks Question.
Valiant went with them to the
outer door. A painful thought was
flooding his mind. 1t hampered his
speech and it was only by violent
effort that he found voice:

Both gentlemen had turned upon the
steps and as they faced him he
thought swift glance passed between
them. They waited courteously, the
doctor with his habitual frown, the
majors hand fumbling for the black
ribbon on his waistcoat-

the slightest pause of surprise. Had

The major cleared his throat. at

have made record Of" he said. "The
two had been friends, and tit was
a fatal encounter for the other. The
doctor and l were your fathers Sec
onds."
There was a moments silence be-
fore Valiant spoke again. When he
did his voice was steady, though drops
had sprung to his forehead. WAS
there any circumstance in that meet
ing that might be construed as re-
fecting on his-honor?"
Good God, mol" said the major ex-
plosively.
"On his bearing as a gentleman"
There was hiatus this time in
In that single exclamation the major
seemed to have exhausted his vocabu-
larry. He was looking at the ground.
1t was the doctor who spoke. at last,
in silence that to the man in the
doorway weighed like hundred at
mospheres.

not What put that into your head?"
When he was alone in the library
Valiant opened the glass door and
took from the shelf the morocco case
The old shiver of repugnance ran over
him at the very touch of the leather.
In the farthest corner was low COM

moved the big tapestry screen across
the angle, hiding it from view.

floor, teasing pricks of restlessaess

passed into the unlighted dining-room.
On the sideboard set a silver loving
cup that had arrived the day before

knick-knacks. He had won it at polo.

particular score had been made. Kath-

drags at the side-line.
But the memory evoked no thrill.
Instead, the thought of her palely-cold,
passionless beauty called up another
mobile thoroughbred face instinct with
quick Hastings of mirth and hauteur.
Again he felt the fierce clutch Of small
fingers, as they fought with his in that
struggle for his life. Each line of
that face stood before him-the arch

Will wives testify that since saloons
came to town and husbands began to
patronize them that poor and miser-
able homes are now changed into

the nation draws 400 of its 10000
leaders in all walks of life. THE de-
stroyer," Captain Hobson points out,
has had strong hold upon our col
leges, particularly upon the large uni
versities, and its grip must be broken
at any cost" That this grip is being
broken is evidenced by the fact that
$500 students in 100 colleges and uni
versities have already studied the
liquor problem in classes during the
first half of the present school year.
and the total number of such students
will probably reach 5000 during the

u. :. WILL SEND SHIPS
TO THE Canal ZONE
PRESIDENT WILSON WILL GUARD
AGAINST EXTRACTION OF
NEUTRALITY LAWS.
PAUL POIRET.

Washington.-Pr Wilson and
his cabinet decided Tuesday to send
American warships to the Canal Zone
to guard against violations OF neutral
lily by belligerent ships.
How many ships shall be dispatched
will be determined after full report
has been received from Colonel Goeth-
ais.
Secretary Garrison and Secretary
Daniels said the delay in acting on the
request of Colonel Goethals for two
destroyers was due to a lack of infor-
nation.
If the canal zone is being used as a
base of supplies, Colonel Goethals Will
be instructed to use his land forces
to prevent sucn violations. Should 1t
develop that the wireless is being used
within territorial waters, the Navy
Department will ask for an explana-
ton from it's naval officers, as the
question of wireless regulations was
placed by executive order OF Presl'
dent Wilson on August 5, in the hands
of the Navy Department.
At the British embassy 1t was sug-
gested, that the British golfers which
are alleged to have been using their
wireless within the territorial waters
OF the Canal Zone, may not have re-
ceived word of the canal regulations
on this point as these only reached
London Tuesday.

ment Sunday that Governor Maytore-
ma, commanding the Villa forces be-
sieging General Hills garrison at Ma
co, Sonora, was preparing to withdraw
his troops to a point 10 or II miles
from the border to eliminate the pos
sibility of further firing into American
territory
This move has been awaited by Of
ticials here since Provisional Presi-
dent Gutierrez announced that he had
directed Maytorena to abandon the
attack upon Naco unless the opera
tions could be carried on without send
ing bullets across the international
line.
Brigadier General Bliss, In command
of the artillery, infantry and cavalry
concentrated about Naco, to enforce
the American governments demand
that firing across the line cease, re
ported earlier in the day that Mayto-
rena apparently had withdrawn.
Brig Gen. Hugh Scott, chief of staff
Of the United States army, arrived at
Naco Sunday and began an investiga-
ton of the Mexican border trouble,
which has resulted in the killing of
five persons and the wounding of AZ
by Mexican bullets crossing the line

PARISH JAIL IS
CALLED DISGRACE
DR.. BOWLING MAKES AN iNSPEC-
TON OF THE BASTilE AT
MONROE, LA.
BEFORE THE GRAND JURY
Cells Are Dark Day and Night and
Prisoners Cannot Read Letters
or Papers.
BEFORE THE GRAND JURY

Monroe.-Dr. Oscar Bowling, presi-
dent of the State Board of Health in
spected the parish Jail at Monroe and
appeared before the grand jury to re-
port owners OF slaughter houses fail
ing to meet the requirements of the
state board. The parish jail is a dis
grace to humanity" said DR., Bowling,
after he left the place with large
envelope full of filth he had scraped
up with shovel in one of the cells.
He showed this dirt to the grand
jury.
The jail is dark day and night, and
when books and papers are sent pris-
oners they cannot see to read. Blank
cts and mattresses and everything
about the Jail were declared poorly
kept, but DR.. Bowling will give the
parish chance to make conditions
better for the unfortunates confined in
the place, and will not close the place
at this time Unless prompt action
Is taken the jail will be condemned
outright and a new one will have to
be constructed.
DR.. Bowling has been after the
slaughter houses here for a year OF
more, and those who have not com
piled with the State Boards require
ments will have to face the courts
as bills of information will be flee
by District Attorney Odom on war
rants from the state health authori
ties.
