Among the recruits to Kitchener's
army are, Of course, many who are
ignorant Of all military etiquette.
One Of these was sitting alone in
the messroom when the colonel
stalked In. The Tommy" was seated
on the edge of the table swinging his
legs and putting at cigarette. The
only move he made was q jerk Of the
head, while he grunted something.
The colonel was not accustomed to
being treated like this.
Attention" he roared. What do
you mean by failing to salute your
commanding officer?"
The recruit was frankly surprised.
He even took the cigarette out Of his
mouth as he answered apologetically:
Nay. tleer's nowt wrong, sir. All
said 'Hah Do!'"

"Reuther, sit up here close by
mother and let me talk TO you for a
little while"
Yes, mother; oh, yes, mother"
Deborah felt the beloved head pressed
close to her shoulder and two soft
arms fall about her neck.
Are you very unhappy? Is my
little one pining too much for the old
days?"
A closer pressure Of the head, a
more vehement clasp Of the encircllng
arms, but no words.
They were sitting In the dark, with
just the light Of the stars shining
through the upper panes of the one
unshaded window. Deborah, there.
fore, had little to fear from her daugh.
ters eye, only from the sensitiyeness
of her touch and the quickness of her
ear. Alas, in this dellcately organized
girl these were both attuned to the
incest discrimination, and before the
mother could speak Reuther had
started up, crying:
"Oh, how your heart beats! Some
thing has happened, darling mother;
something which"
Hush, Reuther; it Is only this:
When came to Shelby it was with a
hope that I might some day smooth
the way to your happiness. But it
was only wild dream, Reuther; and
the hour has come for me to tell you
so. What joys are left us must come
In other ways; love unblessed must
be put aside resolutely and forever"

with those which had proved so fatal
to her husband?

long with all her bursting heart and
snuddering soul that death had been
her portion before ever she had es.
sayed to lift the veil held down so
tightly by these two remorseful men.
But was her fault irremediable?
The only unanswerable connection be-
tween this old crime and Oliver lay in
the evidence she had herself collected.
As she had every intention Of sup
pressing this evidence and as she had
small dread Of any one else digging
out the facts to which she only pos
sessed clue, might she not hone that
any suspicious raised by her Inquiries
would fall like house of cards when
she withdrew her hand from the top
pling structure?
She would make her first effor. and
see. Mr. Black had heard her COM

that the encouragement she had re.

MUST COME AT ONCE
Washington, Aug. %. -. If Pres.
Wilson plans to halt the threatening
railroad strike through a law similar
to the Canadian disputes act he must
get it passed before Monday. Other
wise the brotherhood leaders will go
ahead with their plans for walking
out Labor day.
This intimation came very broad
ly from the brotherhood camp today
and the intimation is supported by
the nature of the Canadian law. The
law prevents a lockout or a strike be-
ing started during a given period.
Hence, if the strike is already in eff
feet Monday, the law will be inoper-
alive, in the view Of brotherhood
leaders.

LIQUOR QUESTION MAY
BE DECIDED BY PEOPLE

Atlanta, Ga, September 10
Political prophets who see a year
ahead are making the prediction
that the next session of the Geor-
gia legislature will witness anoth-
er hard-fought prohibition battle,
the issue being whether or not the
present Georgia law shall be re-
fcrred to the people
John w. Bale, of Floyd county,
who introduced local option bill
in the general assembly of 1915
and who fought the prohibition
bills in the temperance committee
of the house and OIL the floor of
the house, has been reelected to-
the house from Floyd county,
Notwithstanding the fact that
Seaborn Wright, one Of the old
war horses of prohibition in the
United States and Georgia, re-
sides in Rome and is considered
strong factor in Floyd county
|politics.
In view of the fact that Hugh
M. Dorsey was the only one of
the four gubernatorial candidates
who straddled the fence on the
prohibition issue, his position be-
ing that he favored no change in
the law without referring the
question to the white voters" it
is expected that Mr.. Dorsey's
election will be made the pretext
for an assault upon the prohibi-
ton laws.
This assault will probably take
the form of a bill to refer the
whole matter to vote of the
people, which was one of the
numerous proposals advanced in
the Legislature of 1915 in an eff
fort to block the passage of the
laws. In denouncing this propo-
sal on the floor of the house, one
of the prohibition leaders declar-
ed it was nothing but scheme to
let the liquor interests and brew
cries into the state with a prodi-
giOus slush fund 10 debauch the
purchaseable vote.
