CHAPTER TX.
The Unaceepted Pronunciation.

The doctor and the officers of the law entered the outer office. In spite | of the brave words that had been spoken by the woman. the man could only see long parting and an uncer- l tain future. He realized 1t the more when old Colonel Illingworth entered the room in the wake of the others. After he had recovered himself he had hurried to the station In time to catch the next train and had come to New York. realizing at once where his daughter must have gone.
 My father Is dead" said Meade as the doctor and the officers of the law examined the body of the old man. The son had eyes for no one but the old colonel. "The failure of the bridge has broken his heart: my failure. I'd better say"
 "I understand" said Illingworth. "He Is fortunate. would rather have died than have seen any son of mine forced to confess criminal incompe- tency like yours" Father" said the girl with . reso- lution and flrmness singularly like his own. 'T can't hear you speak thls way. and I will not"
 Do you go with him or do you not ]" thundered the colonel. It was Meade who answered for her.
 "She goes with you. love her and she loves me. but l won't drag her down in my ruin." "I am glad to see honor and decency are in you still." said the colonel. "even If you are incompetent"
 If you say another word to him I will never go with you as long as live." flashed out Helen nlingworth. "I deserve all that he can say. Your duty is with him. Good-by." said Meade.
 And I shall see you againT
 "Of course. Now you must go with your father"
 nel.
 'I shall go with you because he bids me, not because"
 "Whatever the reason" said the old soldier. you go." He paused a mo- ment, looking from the dead man to the living one. Meade" he exclaimed at last. 'T nm sorry for your father. l am sorry for you. Good-by. and I never want to see you or hear of you again. Come. Helen."
 The woman stretched out her hnnd toward her lover ns her father took her by the arm. Meade looked at her a moment and then turned away delib- erately as if to mark the Anal sever ance.
 With bent head and beating heart, she followed her father out of the room. There he had to light off the reporters. He denied that his daugh- ter was going to marry young Meade. She strove to speak and he strove to force her to be quiet. In the end she had her way.
 At Mir. Meadc's own request" she said finally. tour engagement has been broken oil. Personally consider my self as much bound as ever. but in deference to his wishes and to my fa- ther's-"
 Have you said enoughf" roared the colonel, losing all control of himself at last. "No. I will not be questioned or interrupted another minute. Come"
 He almost dragged the girl from the room.
 Within the private oflice the phy- sician said that everything pointed to . heart lesion. but only an autopsy would absolutely determine 1t. Meanwhile tho law would have to take charge of the body temporarily. It was late at night before Bertram Meade and old Shurt- lif were left alone.

 and my sons reputation. Go."

CONFERENCE ON PROHIBITION
Members of Congress and Others to
Consider War LEGISLATION,

Prohibition senators. representatives
and leaders outside of Congress will
gather at the Raleigh Hotel tonight to
determine, if possible. what prohibi-
ton legislation shall be attempted at
the present session of Congress. The
call for the meeting has gone out
through the officers of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Confidence was expressed by sena-
tors in favor of prohibition that some
legislation prohibiting the use or
manufacture of alcoholic liquors would
be enacted at the present session OF
Congress.
There are four schools of thought on
the subject of this proposed legisla-
ton. The first is for nation wide pro-
hibiton to last all time. The second
would prohibit the use of grain or
other foodstuffs for the manufacture
of alcoholic beverages during the war.
The third would differentiate between
distilled spirits, such as whisky and
beer and wine, prohibiting the manu-
facture of the first. The fourth would
put the power in the hands of the
President to proclaim any measure of
prohibition which he deemed necessary
in the national emergency.
