For once Warren responded willing

Helen's voice that made him feel heI
real need of him.
"All right, Kitten. I'll take the sub
way and be there In jiffy."
When Helen went back to the din
Ing room, Mary, with her bland, inane
smile. asked:
Don't you want me to help you

somethin' for you?"
why, yes. you can make the bed
agreed Helen. thinking it might be
better to let her do something-any
awful women. The two of them to-
gether seemed to terrify her.
Mary, still with her hat on, followed
Helen into the bedroom, and began
clumsily to make up the bed.
For the next fifteen minutes Helen
lowered around pretending that she
was busting, but watching the weird
woman in the dining room, who sat
ponderously silent and unmoving, and
Mary in the bedroom, who was still
labering Intellectually with the bed.
Helen was so absorbed that she did
not hear Warren enter. Before she
could reach him, he had strobe down
the hall and stood in the dining room
door gazing at Mrs. Casey.
Just then Mary came out of the bed
room, and he turned and looked at
her. Helen stood speechless. There
was a dead silence Then Warren said
sternly, each word with sharp rap
of his cane:

of pity. ''Perhaps she just got in with

thing. Let's give her a chance
up some of her references and ask
them if she ever drank
For a moment Warren hesitated
Then, without a word, he took the

from his mouth and gave her hasty
kiss. ''I'll call you up around II to

Helen went back to clear off the
breakfast dishes. She piled them in
the sink and left them for the new
girl to wash. Then she busted the

VIEWPOINT OF THE ENEMY

We always scan the liquor papers
with interest and growing satisfaction
They indicate from the viewpoint OF
the enemy the very encouraging ad
vance Of the temperance march, and
the reports from their watch towers
strengthen our faith and increase our
courage. What is meant for note OF
warning to the liquor interests comes
as word Of cheer to the teetotaler
Indeed, IL 1t were not that we object to
supporting the liquor trade by sub
scribing for its periodicals, we should
say to every anti-liquor man and
woman, especially to the weakened
among us, take liquor journal.
Their news columns and their editorial
writings do not mince words when II

rantings of their mere extreme spokes-

were wholly without any Just ground

bent on conf1scation. The hard times
following the panic OF 1873 were laid
at the door Of the granger legislation.
Nevertheless, the main contentious of
the farmers were upheld by the su-
preme court. The granger movement
did much toward changing the rail-

MORE VICTORY IN ILLINOIS.

The ruling Of Judge Schuwerk Of
Randolph county court, Illinois, scores
another victory for the temperance
cause. AS the result of local option
election a precinct of the county went
dry. The liquor men and their sup
porters contested the election on the
ground that the law of June, 1918,
granting women the right to vote was
unconstitutional. The Judge decided
against them on each of the three
points named. The decision OF the
county judge is final for that county,
and no appeal can be taken.

The Movies In History.

One OF the good uses for moving.
picture films is for recording historic
events. Not long ago the king Of
Roumania ordered the production OF a
film of no less than 1900 yards length,
this being a reproduction Of the Rou.
manian- an-Russo-Turkish war, which de.
termined the independence OF that
country. The film will be kept in the
archives of the realm. In order to
carry this out the army lent 5000
men in uniform with arms and bag
gage. led by the officers. Another
ease is that OF the Italian government,
which is collecting all the films taken
during the war in Tripoli. In England
the same thing is done for the films
OF the kings coronation events.
