What will you do-still, that's your
business. OF course, will. l wish
you'd asked me something harder.
Come along to the bank"
The bank was few blocks away.
Mark improved the time by asking the
details of Romans circumstances.
Piotr, sullenness not lifted by the
prospect Of money, answered shortly.
1t was a pitiable story of descent-of
the gradual dissipation of the savings
of Romans active years and the swift
failure, through idleness and too much
alcohol, of his mental powers, leaving
him and Hanka dependent upon Piotr's
scanty and uncertain earnings.
Where" Mark asked, as they en-
tered the bank. do you live now?"
Rose Alley
Rose Alley!" Mark stopped short.

What does your sort know of it?''
Quite enough. Come along"
A few minutes later they were in
the sum he had asked.
They stood facing each other-the
strong man who had conquered and
the inefficient, one of life's guerrillas,
who had just taken of the strong
mans largess. But the inefficient was
not grateful; a hundred dollars could
not conquer his hatred.

And. see here. Piotr, l want you to get

Piotr chuckled-a chuckle of tri.

laugh. as though he pondered some
mammoth Jest. "You-you-have just
paid for the next issue of the Outcry!'
He wheeled and went haltingly
away. Mark watched him until he
turned a corner.
Poor devil!" Mark shook his head
pityingly. He's mad"
1t was not Marks habit to waste
precious hours wandering the crowded
city streets in interpretive medita-
ton. He now went to the appoint
ment with his lawyer to keep which
he had left Henley.

Before the commissioners took any

tiOn and insisting that contract
made between the city and the rail

made this agreement, was passed while

1t is estimated that it will cost the
city fifteen hundred dollars to do this
work, beside the question of the con-

Old Temperance Organizations.

1t was in Germany that temper
ance organizations may be said to
have had their birth The first OF
these was the Order of St Christopher,
formed by Sigismund Won Dietrich
stein on January IS. 1917. the mem
bers of which were pledged to abstain
from toast drinking. This was fol-
lowed by the so-called Order OF Tenn
perance, founded by the Landgrave OF
Hesse on December 25. 1000. The
members OF this order solemnly
pledged themselves on the Holy Scrip
cures not TO drink more than seven
glasses OF liquor at one time. and that
not ortener than thrice a day. From
this Il will be seen that while the or
der may have been one Of temperance
It was certainly not one Of total sb-
