Los Angeles, Cal.-The trial separa-

The attractive Mrs. Widner is tired of

period of from three to six months,

CHAPTER W-contInued.

Towards the end of the voyage Ali1
faced, wide-eyed, the revelation that
the stakes of the game she and Alan
had played were body and soul
"Alan," she said one night with droop-
ing head, ave had enough. don't
want to play any more. l want to
quit" She lifted tear-flled eyes to
him. The foil of artificiality had been
knocked from her hand. She was all
woman and defenseless.
Alan felt a trembling in all his
limbs. II want to quit, too, Alix," he
said in his low vibrating voice, "but
I'm afraid we can't. You see, I'm
beaten, too. While 1 was just in love
with your body we were safe enough,
but now I'm in love with you. It's
the kind Of love a man can pray for
In vain. No head in it; nothing but
heart. Honor and dishonor become
mere names. Nothing matters to me
but you"
Tears crawled slowly down Alix'
cheeks. She stood with her elbows
on the rail and faced the ocean so no
one might see. Her hands were locked.
In her mind her own thoughts were
running. Somehow she could under
stand Alan without listening. II only
Gerry had done this thing to her, she
was thinking, the pitiless wracking
misery would have been Joy at white
heat She was unmasked at last-but
Gerry had not unmasked her. Not
once since the day Of their engage
ment had Gerry unmasked himself.
Alan was standing with his side to
the rail, his eyes leaving her face only
to keep track of the promenaders so
that no Ofhcious friend should take her
by surprise. He went on talking. "Our
Judgment is calling to us to quit but
it is calling from days ago." he said.
1--WE wouldn't listen then and it's only
to quit If you like, but when l am
alone l shall call for you, and when
you are alone you will call for me.
We will always be alone except when
we are near each other. We can't
break the tension, Alix. 1t will break
US in the end"
The slow tears were still crawling
down Alix' cheeks. In all her life
she had never suffered SO before She
felt that each tear paid the price of all
her levity.
"Alan," she said with a quick glance
at him, did you know when we began
that 1t was going to be like this?"
"No," he answered. 4" have trifled

Alan and when he did he would break
him. The scorn he had expressed to
Alix for Alan and Alan's nature was
without understanding but it was gen.
uine. He knew there were such men
and he ascribed all their acts to a de-
basement beyond regeneration and
none to temperament. From moral
laxity there was no appeal beyond the
sin itself.
The !andfall Of Pernambuco awoke
him from reveries and introspection.
He did not look upon this palm-strewn
coast as a land of new beginnings-he
sought merely Lethean shore.
The ship crawled in from an oily
sea to the long strip of harbor behind
the reef Above, the sun blazed from
a bowl of unbroken blue; on land,
the multicolored houses spread like a
rainbow under dark cloud of brown
tiled roofs. Giant plane trees cast blots
of shade on the cobbled esplanade
of the boat quay. In their shelter a
cous-cous and another before a tray
of fried fish. Around them lounged
a ragged crew, boatmen, stevedores
and riffraff, black, brown and white.
Beyond the trees was line of high
succeed houses, each painted diff
ferent color, all weather-stained, and
some with rusted balconies that threat
ened to topple on to the passer-by.
One bore the legend, Hotel d'Europe."
There Gerry installed himself.

An Unjust Proposal
By JAMES C. KELLY

Seemingly incapable of fighting out the wet and dry"
question on its merits and fearsome of presenting their case to
a popular vote of the people. the leaders of the dry forces
come forward again with their proposal for amending the con-
sttuhon. Once analysed. this scheme can appeal only to the
individual with a badly warped sense of Justice.
First, the HobSon resolution, that particular measure which is
backed by the political prohibitonsts, is the embodiment of
deception. HobSon, himself, has been forced to admit that his
bill is not designed to curtaH the consumption of strone liquors.
Sincere prohibition congressman refused TO support the reso-
luton, for they saw the deception in it.
1t is the proposed method of thrusting Mr.. Hobson's sham
prohibition upon the nation which is especially open 10 criticism.
however. The resolution, once it has been approved by
the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, would become
a part of the national constitution. Note that the decision
A further study of the proposal will reveal the startling fact
that under It's provisions a minority of the people could force
prohibition upon the country against the will of the majority,
In other words, the endorsements of threefourths of the states
would assure the amendment. AS a matter of fact, under this
scheme the twelve most populous states. and the very ones in
which the license system is favored, would find the will OF their
100000 voters overruled by the IL, 900 voters of the
remaining thirty-six states. New York with over 9,000, 900 in
habitantS and its metropolitan conditions. would have no greater
voice in the matter than Nevada, which. has only 81 600
inhabitants. |
Simmered down to the last analysis, this Hobson proposal is
merely a scheme to force a hypocritcal prohibition upon our
ninety-two millions of people. not by their consent, but by bit
of political trickery; unjust, but characteristic of the entire move
ment-Adv
