RUTH HAS AN UNPLEASANT
EXPERIENCE
BY Jane Phelps.
CHAPTER OF.

CHAPTER OF.
Regardless of her employ RS per-
mission to remain at home, Ruth went
to work as usual the next morning.
Mandel was so solicitious, and spoke
so kindly to her that she thought, as
she often did. that there couldn't be
another employer like him.
Without in any way being obtrusive
Mandel had succeeded in projecting
himself into her thoughts. Now she
scarcely ever saw him that she did not
think of some kindness. some thought,
ful act on his part. Occasionally she
had detected look in his eyes that,
had she not been so little self-eon-
scious, would have told her that she
was more to this man than just an EN-.
ployee. But Ruth never dreamed that
he had any thought Of her save that
she was valuable to his business; and
for that reason he treated her with
wonderful consideration.
But her eyes were opened to Q eer-
tain extent that very morning. She
had been called by Mr.. I.aMonte to
talk with a prospective customer, a
man of great wealth and who was fit
ting ap large bachelor apartment for
himself, and wished the firm to take

she had before glimpsed in their depths.
The man was undeniably attractive,
was immensely wealthy, and Ruth had
not failed to note look of satisfac-
tion upon Mr.. Mandel's faee>when he
entered the store. She must not be
foolish; the man probably was not ac-
Icustomed to meet women in business and
thought he might be-more free, per.
haps, because of that. So she bent her
eyes and her thoughts TO her task, and
had nearly forgotten her annoyance
when her hand touched his upon the
drawing she was making. He immed-
lately closed his hand upon hers, and
held it closely while he said:
'sNever mind the work for 6. mo-
ment. What are you doing here -
Earning my living" Ruth said
coldly, struggling to release FER hand.
eBut it is so unnecessary for so
lovely a ereaaure as you are, to work !"
81 am not lovely" Ruth tried to
speak lightly although she was tremu-
lous with anger. She must try and
hide her feelings and secure this man s
business for the firm. A wave of nau-
Sea swept over her as he raised her
hand, which she had been unable to
draw from his clasp, to his lips.
"You may not be strictly beautiful
my dear, but you are SO chic, and so
intelligent looking that you are far
more attractive than some merely pret-
ty woman. Will you lunch with me to-
days"

A BIG CAPTURE
Of Moonshiners, Whisky, and Army
Deserters
LeVant Dodge

Under date of August 30, an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Wash
ington gives the following par
ticulars of an intensive roundup
of Illicit whisky distillers just COM
pleted in Southern districts.
Under the direction Of Internal
Revenue Commissioner Daniel C.
Roper, the activities of the agents
resulted in the seizure of 1856 stills,
arrest of 200 mOonshiners, killing of
five outlaws and two sheriffs, and
the wounding of several Govern
ment men and liquor makers.
More than 10000 gallons of pale
moonshine whisky were seized and
poured down mountain streams.
More than 100000 worth of illicit
copper stills of all sizes, and other
paraphernalia, automobiles, horses,
mules, and wagons belonging TO the
distillers was taken. Twenty-one
thousand pounds of sugar found on
distillery premises was conflscated
and the most Of il given TO the Red
Cross. Recommendations for 1921
prosecutions have been sent TO the
Department Of Justice. Most of the
moonshiners caught at their stills
are behind bars in Southern jails
awaiting trial.
More than a score Of deserters
from the army were discovered par
ticipating in moonshine manufac-
ture in the Southern mountains and
two Of those were killed in Georgia
by armed raiders.
Revenue Commissioner Roper I'M
dertook the enterprise largely 10

can be made effective.

The Citizen, Berea, Ky.
Dear Friends get so very lone
some for the news from my old
Alma Mater and from Kentucky That
must say that The Citizen is the
very greatest pleasure that comes
10 me during the week. This sea-
son Of the year brings 10 my mind
and heart desire TO make my way
back TO the old college halls where
spent so many years with prolit
and pleasure. But as much as !
would like 90 60 feel that 1t is the
duty Of every pure blooded young
man of America today to be in the
service. BY this | mean the direct
service Of helping "win the war
| have been here thirteen months,
and have seen this place changed
from a wilderness to one of the best
camps in the South. Since ! came
here | have seen 10000 men, or two
divisions, trained and sent over
there" and now the third division
is almost completed and ready to
begin training.
Our ten well equipped Y. M. c. A.
buildings and sixty secretaries have
had no small task in ministering To
the social. educational and spirit
nal welfare Of the men who have
left here, and are now helping drive
the Huns from France. And later
they will help drive them from the
face OF Gods green earth. We are
all going 20 do everything in our
power-we are going TO win TINS

Psalm 29i0-ii.
Jehovah sat as King at the Flood;
