THE STORY.

Jeanne is accidentally injured while
touring IN an automobile. In her
convalescence she meets a married
man who realizes he can only win
her by offering marriage. An illegal
marriage ceremony is performed and
later the man abandons Jeanne, who
becomes an outcast and a man-hater.
Seeking refuge in Europe, Jeanne
H,ssetSs on the, steamer two men out
casts and they all conspire against the
world. Jeanne becomes notorious as
scheming and heartless woman, and
the epithet Vampire" is applied to
her. She enmeshes a young attache
of the American legation and after
securing valuable documents from
him, she finds she is in love with him.
One of her coconspirators, whom she
met on the steamer, comes into pos
session of these secret papers, and
when trying to get the papers back
to return them to the attache, Jeanne
discovers that the young attache is
the son of the man responsible for her
ruin. Her old hate is awakened
again.
Events bring all back to New York.
Complications involve Jeanne with
both the father and son and the young
mans fiance. The young man breaks
his engagement, declares his love for
Jeanne and his father is forced to
give his consent to their marriage.
A dramatic scene is introduced when
the father discovers that Jeanne is
none other than the women he mar
ried illegally and deserted. The faith
er accuses Jeanne of. being an adven-
turess. She wrings from him a con-
fession before his son that he had
deceived her. The son throws conven-
tion to the winds and decides to
marry Jeanne, but he is prevented
by the woman herself, who is threat
ened with exposure of the part she
played in securing the. State docu-
ments. Jeanne brings about recon-
Citation between the young attache
and his fiance, realizing that happy
marriage could never have resulted if
she. had married him herself while
he had full knowledge of the history
of her past.

LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall;
instead
OF words to blame, or proof of SO and
so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears
is wet,
IF something good be said
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glori-
fled;
If something good is said.
And so | charge We, by the thorny
crown.
And by the cross on which the
Savior bled.
And by your own souls hope for fair
renown.
Let something good be said.

LET'S ENFORCE THE LAW

One argument, often used land with
no small degree of force, is that
under prohibition the law is farce
and leads to intolerable conditions.
We freely admit that, of all the argu-
ments used by those in favor of legal
izing the sale of whiskey against pro-
hibition this is the most convincing.
The law is too often a mere sham.
Nobody feels responsible for the en-
forcement of the law. Not even the
law against the illicit liquor dealer
should be enforced. Time after time
prohibition laws have been voted, and,
time after time conditions grow so
bad that the legalized sale of whiskey
comes back" In the few instances
where the law has been enforced, con-
dition have improved and the prohibi-
tion forces have succeeded in holding
their victory.
Union county has voted out the dis
pensary by three to one exactly. That
voters in the county deserve to be
rid of the dispensary. The truth is,
more votes would have been put in
against the dispensary but for the
matter referred to above, the fact
that too often the law breaks down.
Now, what shall we do? The battle
is but half won. There will be or
ganiZed and sporadic efforts, many of
them. to break down the law. The
citizens of the county must make a
determined and a concerted action to-
We honestly believe that the law can
be enforced. Here is the plan we
offer: Let there be organized in every
township in the county a Good Git
izens' League. Half dozen or
dozen members will be able to carry
out the work of enforcement. Let
these men be out of politics and of
good moral character. Let it be their
business to bring to the attention of
the officers the irregularities in the
particular township in which they re-
side. If the officers will not do their
duty, let it be their duty to give pub
licity to that fact Let them stand
together and work together for the
enforcement of the law. This simple
plan would revolutionize conditions
in the county. One man cannot do
these things. 1t requires concert of
action. This will give encouragement
to those seeking to enforce law, and
will give weight to their effort. Such
a league organized in each township
could put down the Illicit whi'skey
business. The fact is, State and ma
tional laws now combine to help to
the enforcement of the law. Condi-
tions have changed and the oppor-
tunity to enforce the law is better
than ever before.
