Quaile glanced at the manager He
saw nothing to be gained by denial The
emptiness and the pervading desolation of
Woodford's had affected him profoundly.
He had never seen a theater in this con-
dition before, its machinery hidden or re-
moved. He had feeling of having in
vaded the shell of a thing long dead. quite
beyond resurrection. The sepulchral
dampness gave the final impetus to his
bad humor

fence. Mike unlocked an iron door. The
creaking of the hinges echoed from a
black and cavern-like space. Quaile
shifted. He breathed with distaste, for
the alley had filled with dank, insuffer-
able odor that he could not describe
The air, imprisoned at the last closing
of the door, rushed out of Woodford's S

applied the match.
Better not let the fire department

Quaile wondered if the manager no.

knotted hand.
"Get in there" McHugh directed, "and

sense of companionship.
Then light flashed in the cavern, illu-

came:
"All right, Mr.. McHugh'
And they entered those spaces, and,
oppressed by their emptiness, stood for
some time, i'll at ease, attentive.
THE single row of lights depending from
the flies gave scarcely more than sug-
gestion of form to the auditorium and the
two galleries. The seats, shrouded with
gray cloths, impressed Quaile with a
fancy of standing in huge improvised
mortuary.
The stage was brighter. He could
see the dingy walls. the circular stair

To Quaile it was almost as if challenge
had been accepted-as if the shadows had
suddenly gathered strength to smother the
row of cleaning lights Without warning
they expired. He could feel the pit-like
blackness rush upon him.
McHugh's hand touched his arm, then
was snatched back. The managers voice
rose angrily:
4What the devil? Mikel Mike! Get
in to the switchboard. Switch something
on. Don't bother about your candle
AS if the darkness had opposed bar
rier, Tommy's exclamation and Mikes
response reached them family They
heard the old man start on the stage
What followed seemed to Quaile at the
moment inevitable. Through the black
and heavy air Mikes cry arose, hoarse,
difficult, half strangled by an irrational
fear 1t gathered itself into three words,
almost unintelligible:
"My God! Woodford!'
OUAILE shrank back. Just across the
blind footlights, almost within hands
reach, he heard dragging footsteps and
a curious stealthy padding.
He bent forward. staring impotently at
the solid wall of blackness. The talk he
had heard, the misgivings he had wit
messed, threw upon that wall, as upon
screen for his imagination, an unthinkable
picture. For the dragging footsteps con-
tinued to stray across the stage-the foot
steps of one who imped; and in the in
terval of their painful progress came q
furtive pattering, like the almost noiseless
pursuit of cat
Quaile remained rigid. He was aware
of McHughs breathless tensity beside
him.
Then, as abruptly as they had started,
the footsteps ceased: and from the
wings, where Mike had cried out his
impossible fear, came low sob, choked
and formless.

Under the title, How Prohibition ists Take Their Spiritus Frumenti," l" the New York Hotel Gazette prints the following:
 Do you cater to the so-called tenn perance people?" catered was asked.
 "Yet, and while there is no wine served from bottles, we manage to introduce enough of it in the viands to make the company lively. There is mighty little inspiration to be obtained out of a glass of water, and that class of people know this as well as we do.
 They don't, as rule, order us to fortify the viands with wine, but I notice that dishes which contain spirits are usually selected from the bills of fare submitted for their con sideration. Roman punch is always acceptable to them, and is jokingly called the life saving station of a temperance dinner. Fritters of fruits and vegetables having marasehina sauce is another temperance delight not often objected to.
 "Terrapin may be good eating with out little sherry, but have never served it without adding sherry to it. Everyone knows it is the wine which improves it's flavor. Terrepan is a very popular dish among so-called tenn. perance diners.
 There are variety of sauces which are served with meats that contain more or less wine. The one most favored at these temperance dinners is sauce Bordelaise The electric pudding. sO-called because it is liber- ally charged with brandy, was invent ed by temperance dinner giyer, In deserts we furnish an endless variety of dainties well calculated to loosen the tongues of temperance after din ner speakers.

OUT
RISQUE
MOVIES

An official board of film GEN.
sors, who will inspect and ap-
prove or reject every motion pic
ture exhibited in the Tacoma
movie houses, will be appointed
by Commissioner Petit within a
few days.
The board will have full police
powers, may order motion picture
exhibitors to cut out any objec-
tionable features of films, and
even may refuse to permit pic
lures to be shown here.
The censors will be backed up
by a censoring law now in effect,
but which has not been enforced
for more than year.
Il will not appoint narrow
minded persons or radicals to the
board" declared Commissioner
Petit Thursday. But l want
the members to be awake to the
dangers that immoral or risque
pictures produce, principally with
young persons, and ] want them
to be strict in their censorship OF

point a censorship board was an
nounced Thursday after COM
mittee of Tacomans, representing
religious associations of the city,
called upon him and objected
strenuously to the showing of
purity" a film now being ex-
hibited at a Broadway theater, in
which the leading woman appears

The committee also declared
that many lascivious films had
been exhibited In Tacoma recent
ly, and that they were having a
pronounced effect on the minds
of the youth of the city.

laced with the movie people,"
said Petit, "but do intend to
prevent the exhibition here OF
films which tend to deprave the
minds of our children. ] do not
believe that the better class OF
exhibitors will object at all to the
censoring."
H. #. Moore, manager of the
Colonial theater, declared Thurs
day that he was pleased to hear
of Pettit's plans.

ASKS ALL
BIG CITIES
TO FIGHT

After telling the city council
that the T. r. & p. Co.'S suit to
cancel all franchise charges for
operating street cars in Tacoma is
one of the most far-reaching cases
that the city has ever faced, City
Attorney Harmon Thursday set
about asking Seattle, Spokane and
other large cities of the state to
help him in the defense.
He will go to Seattle Friday
to enlist the aid of Corporation
Counsel Caldwell. In the mean
time he has written to Spokane,
and will probably notify Aberdeen,
North Yakima, Vancouver and
other cities.
Would Act for All.
If the public service commits
sion should hand down a ruling
abrogating the T. r. & p. Co. s
franchise contracts, and relieving
that company of any paving
bridge, street work, or free trans
portation charges, the same rul-
ing would relieve all street cal
companies in other cities from
similar burdens.
NHarmon received citation
from the public service commits
sion Wednesday night, giving him
10 days to answer. He told
the council Thursday that he
could not possibly answer such 6
suit in 10 days, but would try t.
obtain a delay.
City Line in Danger.
The city attorney showed su.
preme court decisions where the
public service commission had
been empowered to abrogate the
details of franchise contracts.
Harmon said that he had re-
ceiyed word that the Puget Sound

planning to file similar suit
against the city Of Seattle.
