cabaret, the performers lounged |
around the doorways or mixed with |
the crowd.
The Apache dancers did their turn, |
with much pulling and twisting, |
much flying of skirts and revealing of |
hideous lingerie and thick cotton |
stockings. A colored boy, fresh from |
Georgia, sang ragtime to the mad |
enthusiasm of the crowd, but lilly |
did not appear. Sullivan ordered to-
bacco, another pint of white wine. |
The atmosphere was reeking; the in
cessant uproar of the orchestra got |
on his nerves. When it became clear |
that the program had reached its |
end, and was about to repeat, Sulli- |
van got up and sauntered to the bar. |
He had seen lilly talking to the bar
maid the night before.
But the barmaid was a different |
one, bIack-haired French girl. She
said with a shrug of her shoulders, |
that the Fraulein was krank, and was |
not there tonight. She knew nothing
of lilly, and made poor work of I'M

Of disappointment he got his hat and |
overcoat, and left the building.
He refused a cab. A fine white |
snow was falling in the narrow
streets. At the corner, woman was
standing, head bent to the storm,
looking, in the wind, like some gray
night bird, waiting and ominious. |
With a shudder of disgust, Sullivan
buttoned up his coat and turned to
start.
He had taken perhaps a dozen
steps when slim figure stepped out
from the shadow of the building, and |
put timid hand on his arm. SuIIi- |

the girl like cloud.

turning, ran with all the speed of her
cold limbs and aching feet, down the
street, with Sullivan after her.

caught her by the shoulder and
wheeled her about to face him. Even
in that instant, his anger had turned
to pity.

her eyes. Desperate as she was, she

statement announcing his willing

Hon Thomas H. Ball, Houston, Tex.
MY Dear Friend Ball-On last Mon
day issued statement to the people
of Texas defining my attitude in the
present gubernatorial contest, since
which time ! have made a careful
study of the results of the prohibition
mass meetings which were held in the
several counties throughout the State
on last Saturday, and in my opinion
there can be but one conclusion reach
ed and that is that you are the over
whelming choice of the Democrats OF
Texas who are opposed to the legal
lied liquor traffic to make the race
for Governor in the Democratic pri-
mary election to be held on July %,
1914.
Ready for Place in Ranks.
"These patriotic Democrats who
participated in the said mass meetings
having clearly indicated that you are
their choice to lead this'righteous host
in the oncoming conflict for good gov
eminent civic righteousness clean
politics, progressive Democracy and
the abolition of the legalized liquor
traffic, and this fact having been
established through the expression OF
those primary mass meetings, ! am
ready to take my place in the ranks
as an humble private. to render what
ever service ! can in the interest OF
the cause.
II felt at the time ] announced my
candidacy for Governor that | was
the logical man to make the race. but
the mass meetings last Saturday hav'
ing decreed otherwise. | have no dis
position to interpOse my personal am
bition between the viii of the people
and the success of the prohibition
cause in Texas.

that YOU win accent the endorsement
