 What do you say now to this, sir?'' he accosted Roleau. T say now, your excellency, that wonder thief and leader of thieves. who tried to kill me, knows all there l is to be known of the murder. He can l tell. If he likes, or if he does not like. He wanted there what we wanted we will call 1t a jewel that he sought in her gracious excellency's rooms. | He guessed that it might have value with persons high in power in this country. That is why he followed us 1; that is why murder was done there. They all sought something, and we know what it was"
 You are the accused,' said the pre- feet, turning swiftly to Blake, his own decision made. What have you to say? Why do you not speak? Con- fess that you know the secret of yon- | der murder-the motive for which we ourselves now know. I know you, Blake. Your band is broken now. How do you wish to spend the rest of your life-would you purchase a few more moments at the price of confession of the truth? Perhaps that may be, when you have tasted the dungeon away from that drug you crave-for a 1 few hours"
 T will confess" suddenly exclaimed 1 the king of the apaches, his face gray with terror. ''1 will tell you every thing-only give me-it."
 Then you killed the man in wonder room?'
 Blake tried to speak, but only nod ded. Then at length. hoarsely, Tt is as he said. What can gain by delay or by denial? Give me-that, Give melt! I confess it all"
 What was your motive, then, Blake?"

 The weapon of the renegade leader Blake was aimed steadily enough. But the fraction of time in which Roleau changed the position he had taken saved the life of one man and cost that of another.
 It was the fellow thief, Blake's com rade, fresh from the rendezvous, who fell under the bullet intended for Ro- leau himself.
 Blake sprang forward, groping un- der cover of the smoke, to find the body of his enemy, stopped, paused, sprang back--it was not Roleau, but his own man whom he had slain!
 Roleau by this time, with no more than a quick flash of self-congratula- tion at his unexpected safety, had sprung away. Blake called out to his followers and started after Roleau. He did not meet him at the outer open ing, but ran into the arms of the band of gendarmes who had followed Ro- leau hither.
 Seeing the renegade, pistol ill hand, and knowing that he had fired the shot just heard, the sergeant seized upon Blake and disarmed him. The apache leader fought with all the bit ter desperation of his kind when cor nered, crying aloud for help. His cries brought others of the band, who joined in the melee, so that the issue for a time was in doubt as between the lawful and the lawless-these last two factions who were locked in strug- missing coin.
 At this juncture Roleau flung him. self into the conflict. His giant strength proved such aid that finally the sergeant and his men had sub- dued not only Blake the leader. but others of his band. As for Roleau, he stood grinning at the turn of events and making no further attempt at es- cape. Neither did the officer make any movement to apprehend him again.
 Come with me, then, my friend" said the officer. You have fought well for me. We shall see what we shall see"
 Wherefore Roleau, no longer under espionage. went back with the gendarmes toward the headquarters of the prefecture.
 Much of this was noted by Kitty Gray herself, who arrived upon the scene in time to witness this not un- happy end of her own quest. Count

LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the saloon who declare that if 1t was not intended that men should drink aI- coholic liquor God would not have created the rye, the corn, etc, from which 1t Is manufactured, the Ameri- can Issue says: They might declare that if God had not intended men to drink booze, he would not have ere ated the wood that builds the saloon, the brass in the fixtures, the quartz melted into the goblet or the iron which, molten. makes the stove. They might carry the argument farther and say that If God had not intended men to drink alcoho, that he would not have created the mouth with which to imbibe. Until it can be shown that God created a mans tongue so that he could lie and hands that he might steal, there Is not very much in the argument that the Creator made corn and rye that men might make alco- hol therefrom for the purpose of pois- oning themselves and their fellowmen for profit"

WHAT IS THE MATTER?

As one state after another outlaws the drink traffic the astonished liquor men ask. Whats the matter, any way?" That question is easily an swered. The thing that's all wrong is liquor itself, and the people arc find ing it out. The dispensary plan; the high license plan; the government owned saloon; the family liquor store; Sunday closing; early closing; strict supervision; abolishment of free lunch. music, tables and games; the system of having only one saloon to so many population; local option-all of these are mere subterfuges.

CAPITAL AND LABOR BENEFIT.

When the Brunswick Bake Collen. der company some time ago announced it's intention of discontinuing the man. ufacture of bar fixtures, because there was no longer demand for them since prohibition had closed so many saloons, the liquor press sent up a howl declaring that prohibition had thrown hundreds of men employed by this company out of work. lnvestiga- tion has shown, however, that the company had received immense orders for Edison photograph cases and sim liar work and that not one man has been discharged as a result for the diversion of the work into different channels. Not only this, but it is asserted that the number of men em- ployed will be increased rather than diminished. and the change is general ly considered by business men of Du- buque as favorable to the labor mar ket-
