those who can only rise to a whisky or

AliX and Alan were in the grip of
fever that is hard to break save
through safety and ruin. They were
still held apart by generations of sound
tradition but against this bulwark the
fun flood of modern life as they lived
it was directed.
1t was only a year ago that the table
talk one night had turned on what was
sOciety's religion and Alan had said,
Society has no religion nowadays;
it has given up religion for a corrosive
philosophy of nonethics." He had seen
clearly then but not clearly enough to
save himself. He had played with the
corrosive philosophy until he had di-
vOrced flesh from the soul and now it
was playing with him. He found him
self pOwerless in the grip of his desire
for Alix.
With her, things had not gone so far.
From the security Of the interrupted
she had watched her chosen world play
with fire and only now when tempta-
ton assailed her, did she realize the
weakness that lies In every woman
once her outposts have fallen and her
bare heart becomes engaged in the bat
tie. Not many days had passed after
their return when Alan's constant at
tendance upon Gerrys wife became
the absorbing center of interest to their
part of town life. People said little
enough. Their eyes were too wide
open watching the headlong rush to-
wards catastrophe.
One early morning Nance sent for
Alan. He found her alone. She had
been crying. He came to her where

Alix sprang to her feet She was

very quietly, but it was the quiet Of
suppressed passion at white heat.

Alix' eyes blazed at him from her
white face. please go away" she
said. He started to speak. "Please
go away" she repeated. Her lips were
qulvering and her face twitched in a
way that was terrifying to Gerry. He
hurried out repeating to himself over
and over, you have made Alix cry.
You have made Alix cry"
Alix toyed with the silver on her
dressing-table until he had gone and
then she swept across the room to
her little writingdesk and wrote the
note that Alan had found half an hour
later in his rooms.

The slow tears were still crawling

felt that each tear paid the price of all
her levity.

Between the hour of writing her

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 landfall 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,

negress squatted behind her basin Of

of fried fish. Around them lounged
ragged crew, boatmen, stevedores
and riffraff, black, brown and white.
Beyond the trees was a line of high
succeed houses, each painted diff
ferent color, all weather-stained, and
some with rusted balconies that threat

THE STATE BETTER OFF.

It gives honest men a pain to hear opponents of the liquor traffic try ing to argue that Arkansas is not te.ter off without whisky than it was with it.
 Everybody who will acknowledge the truth knows that from the standpoint of good order and de- eency. if not of morals, Arkansas is much better off now than it was prolr to January 1, when prohibi- ton became effective.
 Without intoxicants upon which to spend their money, Arkansans, in what were the wet towns. are finding other uses for what they earn. Their families have more and better food and clothing, and the retail merchants have better and less credit business. Savings banks are also feeling the effects of the prohibition law by increased accounts and many men who never had bank account before have one now.
