happening to the saloon. 1t is the
saloon itself as well as the fixtures
that is going into the scrap heap
Nobody wants the fixtures for a sa-
loon because there are few persons
who want saloons. Those who have
saloons arc generally anxious to get
rid of them and nobody not now
possessed of a soloon is liable to ac-

a saloon. There are plenty saloons
already fitted up for use that can
be rented for less than the price OF
secondhand fixtures.
The Davis law is putting the sa-
loon where it belongs, in the SCRAP
heap. That law has closed up many
saloons all over the state. In Jack.

80 per cent of the saloons and IL

It was the story of runaway mar

young couple had been married only
two years, but they were not tenn

and quarrels; he had abused her. she
said, but there had been no actual
cruelty. And there seemed no other
ground on which divorce proceedings

Tallahassee, Nov. 1.-THE Su-

argument in the caseof Edward H.
Clarkson VS.. H. r. Philips, county
Judge of Duval county; Julian Hart
ridge, of Jacksonville, arguing for
the petitioner and Attorney General
West appearing in behalf of the
State. The court heard arguments
and after the filing of briefs decided
to take the case under Amusement.
1t is expected that by reason Of the
importance attached an early opin-
ion is expected.
The case is to test the validity or
constitutionality of the new game
law passed by the last Legislature
E. H. Clarkson recently appeared
tefore the county judge and request
ed license be issued in accordance
with the act of the 1913 Legislature,
which created the State game de-
partment He was refused on the
ground that the 1,13 act had been
repealed.
Attorneys for Clarkson appeared
before the Supreme Court and petit
toned for a writ of mandamus com
polling the Duval county official to
issue a license under the 1913 act
and the writ, made returnable on
November 9th, was granted.

A REVISED ESTIMATE
OF KITCHENER

Nobody need be surprised at
India. He is far better equalified to
serve the British empire in the east
has been expected of Kitchener. lr
1897, after over year of prepare
pie to draw on, he defeated the
dervishes at Omdurman, avenged
A few years later, he was sent to-
crush the Beers in South Africa, and
after a year or more succeeded.
When Great Britain declared war Oh
! German, Kitchener was probably the
most capable Briton to put in conf
mand But great as his work had
been in the Soudan and in the Trans
vaal, it was small one compared
with what he had to do to cope with
the Germans. Probably Germany
had fifty generals better qualified for
thetask than Kitchener. Then,
again, any German officer might have
failed had he been met with the
difficulties Kitchener had to meet.
If there is trouble in Egypt or In
dia, Kitchener is we'll qualified to
deal with it, and 1t is very likely
that by this time there are many
younger men in England better able
to deal with the European end of the
war than Kitchener, who is old and

in Africa were only bushwhackins

She went out treading on air. Five
dollars in her pocket meant food and
medicine for her little Dickie.
At five o'clock she put on a black
skirt and blouse, which had been too
shabby to pawn, and over an old black
hat she put a thick veil.
Ten minutes later she was on her
way to Godfrey Horner's house.
Just as she rounded the corner
the door Of the house opened and
someone came down the steps. She
followed him breathlessly, waiting
an instant as he stood at the bot
tom of the steps to take out his latch
key and then followed boldly.

cision. 81 only want chance to sho"

Elise with all my heart"
Before he went away he had per-
suaded the young lawyer to present
his side of the case seriously to his
wife.
He did so on the occasion OF Mrs.
Raymond's next visit. At first the girl
was as hard as flint, but in the end
she softened. And all the while he
pleaded with her Elise knew that he
was pleading his own hopes away.
He loved this girl with all his heart,
even at the second sight Of her. She
was his dream, his ideal.
Tell me why you are SO anxious
not to take my case?" she inquired
curiously, before she left.
II don't think there is adequate
cause" he answered.
Are lawyers generally so scrupu-
lous?"
Mrs. Raymond" said Ellis, rising,
you are two young people upon the
| verge of life. You must try to live
that life for a while. l cannot con-
sciously be instrumental in separating
you until l am convinced that there is
due cause"
Thank YOU" she said in choking
voice-and left him.
For weeks he heard no more of the
girl. And all the while he cursed his
folly, and yet was glad. The love
that had only increased during this
time was too high to be won by any
ignoble means. He tried to put Elise
Raymond out of his mind

IN The DARK
ANONYMOUS.


It was blazing day-glorious sum-

Of everything-of hope. of energy and
of the life of her child-just as last
summer had robbed her of Jack.
Nothing had been heard of him. No
news had come to her, and bad luck
had logged her all the time. She had
had to move lodgings again and again,
every time little poorer, every time
taking rooms little cheaper; and the
only work she seemed to have even a
chance of getting was in the office of
private detective agency.
She had applied there on an impulse
and had been told that work was some
times given to outsiders, and that il
she cared to call every morning at
nine o'clock there might some day be
a chance for her.
So she had called-day after day.
week after week, and no chance had
ever come; and day after day her
money dwindled and she went from
bad to worse until now Dickie was ill
and she had reached her last penny.
She would make one more effort
she would try once again before she
gave up. She hurried through the
streets to the office that had become
so familiar to her now. She pushed

been five and twenty. She seemed to
Baynes the prettiest girl that he had
ever seen. Her blue eyes were trou-
bled, however, and her expression
was quite woeful.
I do you take-divorce cases, Mr.
Baynes?" she asked in whisper.
Certainly. madam. I'm glad to,
answered the young lawyer, stung by
the thought that this beautiful young
woman could possibly have been mis-
treated by her husband. He was also
conscious of sinking of the heart at
the thought that she was married, fol
lowed by as rapid an elevation. He
would win that case.
