was deeply engrossed in her own
thoughts.
How far they had gone she did not
pay much attention, but she knew the
roads we'll. They had come to fork,
and Johnson veered off to the left. In
stinctively Elaine knew that the right
hand road was the more direct, and
she touched little signal that sum-
moned the driver.
You're taking the wrong road" she
called. Go to the right"
81 think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge" persisted
Johnson.
1t was, however, merely ruse on
his part to gain time and give some OF
Wu's men an opportunity. For. as
the car approached the fork. two
roughnecks, hidden behind a rock in
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach OF the car had drawn back
closer under cover.
johnson stopped some hundred feet
or so down the wrong road past the
rock in answer to Elaine's signal. 1t
was the chance the roughnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car or vehicle was
In sight. Quickly they skunk down the
road.
As Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stubbornness. she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her.
while huge. very dirty hand pressed
with Irresistible force over her mouth.
She struggled, but It was Of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
of the car. johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat, from which
he had descended, leaving the engine

PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

| (By JAMES MIDDLETON. In Worlds
About two years ago Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave a diplomatic din
ner In Washington, distinguished par
ticularly by the absence OF wine. I'M
mediately the world burst into roar
OF laughter; Europeans. especially.
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration OF American provincialism.
A few E:ouths ago the king OF England
announced that he would himself abb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
OF the war. and that wines would no
longer be served in any OF the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
bidden the manufacture and sale OF
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause OF antialcoholism has made
in less than year. When the leader
OF the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example OF our
own somewhat homespun secretary of
state, the cause of teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

the Socialists a year ago to study the
liquor problem says In its report, pre-

astrous effects of excessive drinking.
Many of the authorities quoted in
the report in condemnation Of beer
are German. Among alcohol's recorded
opponents are 800 German and Aus
trian doctors. One statement is that

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.

The political strength OF liquor Is
furnished by the wine and beer drink
ers. Whisky interests may be better
organized than the brewers and inter-
fere more actively in politics, but
the votes which make possible the
sale OF intoxicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers. who do not al
ways vote rs they drink. The beer
drinker generally will vote to protect
his habit. because he is far from con-
vinced of its malignancy-F'rom Edt-
torial in Chicago Tribune.
And that Is why the w. c. r. U. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to tho masses the truth about
beer and It's malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti-
tute says In a published statement:
"One.half of one quart OF beer is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory.
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition of simple figures. This mar
cotic or deadening influence is first
exerted on the higher reasoning pow

lower activities OF the mind and nerv-
Gus system are for time released.
The everyday. well-poised. self-con-
trolled man goes to sleep. as 1t were,
and the primitive man temporarily
