room. The head waiter was just escorting
Miss Leland, Mrs. Clarke and her daugh-

fiower-decked table whose conspicuous
position in the center of the room was
tempered by the ported plants that sur
rounded it.
Through the fringe of palms saw Dane
remove the girls wrap. 1t seemed to me
that his hands touched her caressingly

squareness to me; forgot the camaraderie

have allowed the name of Herman to be
connected with track such as Grantham.
I PUSHED back my chair and walked
toward their table. Miss Leland was
first to see me- She smiled impersonally;
the friendliness that had been in evidence
at Stephanie was gone. The Others, except
Dane, paid no attention to me- Dane, l
felt, was looking at me closely.
"Good evening, Mr.. Herman said the
girl "You didn't come to the box to tell
us what the judges said

Leland" told her. 1You saw that

went on. "And as I've always made it
my business to run my stable for my
owner and not for the betting ring, why
I'm leaving Florida
"Throw stone and run away, sneered
Dane.
@But didn't throw it from behind a
woman's skirts, Mr.. Dane retorted.
That fetched him. He started to climb
out Of his chair, and the rest of the party
grew tense at the imminence of trouble
Mrs. Clarke put her hand on her nephew's
arm. But Miss Leland took command of
the situation. Her face was suddenly
angry as she looked at me. At the mo-

me. The regret was gone from her eyes,
her voice was that Of a mistress to her
servant, as she said to me:
very well, MIR. Herman. If you will be
in the drawing-room at nine I'll give you

The grin of malicious triumph on Danes
face at her cool dismissal of me almost
goaded me into angry answer. But bit
my lip and turned away. Whatever

 NEW SERIAL TO APPEAR
 SOON AT GEM THEATRE

Manager Hardy of the Gem theater has arranged to offer his patrons be- ginning Wednesday, Nov. 18th, the great new motion picture novel, "Gloria's Romance" in which Billie Burke, famous star of the speaking stage, has been engaged at salary of $4,OOO per week to play the leading role. The story is from the pen of MT. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes, authors of innumerable novels, and is said to Le a sosciety romance with scenes laid at Palm Beach, Florida, and in the homes of the wealthy along River side Drive, New York City. Manager Hardy states that the cost of the film Is considerably above what he ordi- harily has to pay for film service. but
 e feels that the attraction is in every
 espect so excellent that it is well worth the higher price.

HIGH COMMERCIAL STANDING.

A few years ago a commission came over from Germany to investigate the causes of the industrial supremacy of the United States. In their report they asserted that the victories of American trade are largely due to the fact that for thirty years children in the public schools have been taught the evils of intoxicating drink, and that in more than 400 lines of indus try no man could secure employment If he were known to be addicted to intoxicating beverages.
 It might be added that the laws in all the states requiring scientific temperance instruction in the public schools are the result of persistent work on the part of the Woman's Christian Temperance union.

THE M'CAINS ARE RETURNED.

Mark, Henry and Joe Mccain, who have been copfned in the state peni- tentiary since the killing of J. P. Slagle in this city last July, arrived here last night in company with their attorney, J. Q. A. Bush, who was sent as special messenger by the pen authorities.
 The reason given for the return of the McCains here, according to a letter received by Judge Thomas, is that as a case of typhoid fever is con fined in the prison, it would endanger the life of Mark and Joe Mccain, who were shot during the affair last July and have never recovered. Attorney Bush on arriving with the prisoners last night hired a car and took them cut to see their people whom they had not seen since being committed to prison, and after a short stay they were brought back to Prescott and are now in the county jail.

BEER AND GRAIN.

Germans are beginning to clafe against the liberty granted to the brew CT to waste grain, while the consump- tlon of bread is restricted and cattle are grudged their usual sustenance. Daily 35,0O0 hundredweight of barley are wasted by Germans in producing beer. To make n litre of beer nearly half pound of barley is required, ana some Germans drink five litres q day. One writer sums up the case against the beer drinker in these trenchant words: "Whoever drinks beer during the war takes away q piece of bread from his fellow man. robs his people of meat and butter and deprives our children. our sick and wounded of the milk and eggs so nee eSSary."

FOR PROHIBITION NOW.

FOR PROHIBITION NOW.
 MT. Alexander Nesbit has been sher- If of Denver for 12 years-and he didn't vote for prohibition. Here are some of the many things he said about the good effects of the law in an in- terview published in the Pueblo Chief tain:
 The habitual loafer has disap- peared. The crowds that used to hang around the lower end of the city at free lunch counters have gone. Where. I haven't the least idea. Like last summers flies, they just disappeared. Again, the wine rooms are no more and the after the theater' dinners are over. There is no place to go except to the picture shows, and then for a light lunch and then home, unless they go to the pool halls. You know 1t doesn't take long to get lunch after the theater now. Few people say have another on glass of water. And the old slogan. Let's have an- other is misnomer in Denver. Neither do very many people say: Let's have another lunch and they get through and go home.
 We haven't had case of murder since the first of the year. Our sui cides are falling off to a great extent; the mileage of the ambulance and pa- trol wagon is less than 50 per cent of what 1t formerly was; our officers on the beats are treated more courteous. ly; there is a better air morally around the city; the places where crime was formerly matched are gone and the city is better off in every way so far as it's police department and their work is concerned.
 Let me tell you another thing the can-rusher, the old soak who came home with quarter in his pocket and sent his eight-year-old, ragged. bare footed girl to the saloon for a can of beer and then tossed her a crust of bread while he swigged the beer and snarled at her through his drunken ness, is no longer a resident of Den yer. You can't get a photograph of one of these fellows in the city"
