REMARKABLE ANOMALY,

A London banker-not temperance
man-is quoted by the Review Of Re-
views as saying: 1.-The drink question
has been just about the worst handled
of any Of the domestic problems which
have confronted England since the out
break Of the war. The savings, direct
and indirect, from the putting through
Of Lloyd-George's total prohibition
scheme last spring would have gone q
mighty long way towards paying the
cost of the war. We have the remark
allie anomaly Of a people sacrificing
rivers of blood for their country, and
yet unwilling to give up the use of .
beverage which not only wastes money
but lowers their Industrial and mill
tary efficiency as we'll. It will
probably take another year or so of
war to bring the country to its
senses"

Captain MCGEE flashed to the head

secretly to this friendly country place
near Arden. Days followed in which
the reporters tracked Lawrence Wade
at all hours in order to discover him in
the act of meeting Constance. In that
period, he scarcely dared write, lest
the address on an envelope might be-
tray her whereabouts. Now. in the

And today, in this very hour. he was
coming-with what message on his

In the distance sounded the whistle
of a locomotive: a column of white

glanced at the watch on her wrist.
