Cynthia Breaks With Narrowly.

Cynthia Breaks With Narrowly. g- 1OST! The word cut Minot to the IH quick. Lost, indeed Lost IH JcphsOn's stGke-lOst the girl g he loved. He had failed Jeph- son-failed himself! After all he had done, all he had sacrificed, d double defeat and therefore doubly bitter.
 Cynthia, surely you don't mean Lord Narrowly was pleading.

 "Its too bad, Allan" she said. "But it wasn't to be. And even now you have one consolation-the money that Boyd's must pay you"

 "Y-yes. Why?"
 "It may interest you to know ana II may interest Lord Narrowly to recall that five minutes before he took out this policy he signed an agreement to do everything in his power to bring about the wedding.

THE DICTIONARY

Each occupation and every divi- sion of any business has it's group of words; they may be large or small.
 The coming in of g. new inven- tion and the disaDp caring of an old article brings in new terms and d.sDenses with old ones. The dictionary is the great record book of these terms. It contains over four hundred thousand terms; de- fines them; gives where they orig inate1. in short, the life history of every word. Tbe dictionary may be looked upon as a great law book, telling the correct use of the word and telling everything that is known about the word.

 Narrowly stepped to the telephone He summoned his forces. A strained, unhappy silence ensued. Then the two men entered the room together.
 ''Minot, George, old boy" Lord liar rowby said hclplessly, Miss Meyrlck and her father have discovered the ex- istence of a certain insurance policy about which you both know. They have believed that my motive in seek ing a marriage was purely mercenary; that my affection for the girl who Is was to have become my wife cannot be sincere. They are wrong-quite wrong. Both of you know that. I've sent for you to help me make them un- derstand. l cannot"

While most Of the other aldermen
displayed less enthusiasm than Gel
ger. and showed a disposition to
avoid publicity at this time, it looks
as though a good number Of them
will follow Geiger. A great many of
them have always voted for the big
hotels in the past, but they seem to
regard. this as sort of crisis for the
''wets' and are willing to shake their
old friends.
The United Societies agents have
been busy among the aldermen since
the publication of the result of the
trip of Mrs. Merriam, Mrs Rodriguez
and other clubwomen through the
cabarets and are trying to hold them
in line.
Tony Cermak, secretary of the
United Societies, seems to think that
the battle is won, particularly if the
siIk-stOcking clubs and the hotels
are dragged into the fight.
D
of the Juvenile Protective assn, one
of the leaders in the fight for the or
dinance, believes that they can mus

ordinance.
Mrs. Sears says the reports she re-
ceived from her investigators who
toured the dance halls would prove
strong enough to arouse public in
terest to such an extent that they
will demand reform.
Meantime the big hotelkeepers are
wondering what's going to happen to
their profitable dance clubs and are

FOX TRoTTERIES AND THE SILK
STOCKING CLUBS TO BE HIT
Big hotels, silk-stocking clubs and
fox trotteries are finally going to be
made the goats" if the refOrmers
persist in fighting for the ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquor at dance
halls or dances where liquor is sold.
This was the tip given out at the
City Hall yesterday. Hitherto the big
fellows have been able to laugh at
reformers, but now it is said that
even their old pals in the city council
are ready to desert them if the fight
gets warm.
Many of the aldermen admitted
that if the small dance halls were
closed they would insist on stopping
every dance held in a place where
liquor was sold, whether it was the
Blackstone hotel or somewhere
back O. tn yards
Aid. Ellis Geiger voiced the pro-
test of the aldermen against the pro-
posed ordinance. He said: IF this
ordinance goes through Pm going to
insist that dancing be stopped at the
Blackstone hotel, the Sherman, the
Stratford, the Morrison and other big
hotels where liquor is sold. The or
drinance should also hit the South
Shore Country cIub. the Kenmore
and all other playhouses Of the rich.
There is no more reason why the
poor should be deprived of their
pleasure than the rich. Look at the
fox trotteries in the loop. They do
as much harm as any neighborhOOd
dance l ever knew of.
Furthermore, there are far more

BEGIN TO REPAIR
FLOOD DAMAGES

San Diego, CAL, Feb. 2. Several
hundred men started work today in
many parts of the county as the first
definite step to restore the roads,
bridges and water pipe lines destroyed
or badly damaged in the floods of last
week. It Is estimated that in another
week more than 1000 persons will
have been given employment.
Roads which two days ago were al
most impossible are now in fairly
good shape and the task OF reaching
the more remote points and carrying
on relief work has been expedited.
Generous contributions of money,
clothing and provisions continue to
pour into headquarters.
1t is the intention Of Rear Admiral
Fullam to maintain naval patrols in
the Otay and Tijuana valleys until the
situation is SO, composed that civil
authorities can take entire charge.
Order is being rigidly enforced in the
stricken districts and number Of
storekeepers who have marked up
prices have been warned to lower them
or suffer confiscation Of their goods.
