Marshall, and he doesn't count. He

Mike, who mentions the fact without
passion and without prejudice.
A gentleman comes in at the mar
row doorway, a tall, dignified, elderly
gentleman in well-ftting clothes,

clear, silver Vandyke trimmed as
smoothly as if it had been poured

While Mike Dowd produces the

to a calm inspection of the articles

whisky bottle, the never-opened quart

dusty little bowl of dusty plaster of

odds and ends which Mike Dowd has

CHAPTER XIII
Spring!


Spring. Grass and flowers and
weeds burst through the brown earth
wherever they can find egress, and
vie, in their CHEEKY green, with the
budding trees. AS If the vital forces
which had brought them into life and
being had stirred about it's own con-
crete roots, the Pannard Building has
shot up into the air like a huge fun
gold of steel. Spring, too, has stirred
into activity all the still dormant
powers of John Doe. His frame is
more erect, his step is more elastic,
his cheeks have more color, and his
eyes have more of snap. Why not /?
He has worked like tireless engine,
and he has Accomplished! Has he

place to use them now. Has he the
Faculty to coin his talents into money i?
There is a place to spend it now. He
had made fortune up to middIe-age.
He can make another in the years
which are left to him. Billy is to be
thanked for this opportunity. God
bless Billy!
And God help Billy. He is in need
of help. Nothing seems to awaken
him to the abyss which lays towards
the end of his journey. Over-con-
fidence; that is what is the matter
with Billy. Modest enough in all 9TH
er affairs he is too sure of his
strength in this one most important
thing in his life. If he over-steps
the bounds of prudence in his own
Indulgence, it is an accident. He is
sorry He will watch out for it the
next timeI But when the next time
comes, it is an accident again. Billy,
in these latter days, is remorseful,
penitent, and ashamed, when such
accidents happen; but, with the fatal

United States through Germany's
treacherous diplomacy as well as flag
rant acts which could not be concii-
lated. AS stated in the pamphlet,
"while expressing cordial friend
ship for the people of the United
States the government of Germany
had its agents at work both in Latin
America and Japan. They bought o.
subsidized papers and supported
speakers there to reuse feelings of
bitternesss and distrust against us il
those friendly nations. il order to
embroil US in war. They were incit-
ing Instruction in Cuba, Haiti, and
in Santo Domingo, their hostile hand
was stretched out to take the Danish
West Indies, and everywhere in South
America they were abroad sowing tn,
seeds of dissension, trying to stir up
one nation against another, and all
against the United States"
Now that the United STATS is in
the war, there can be no peace until
Germany shall have been overwhelm-
ed in defeat. The peace, humanity
and the civilization of the world rest
on Germany being dismantied as "a
nation and rendered powerless in the
future to involve the world or any

From the Shreveport Caucasian.
According to a statement. from

the time limit of the extra session of
the Legislature to twenty days and
will submit twenty-eight subjects for
legislation-more than one subject
per day. More than half CT them will
probably go over to the regular ses-
sion unless the time is extended. The
most important question will require
careful consideration and should not
be rushed through the Legislature
Ruston Leader.
Think of twenty-eigh. subjects for
consideration and disposal in twenty
