 I ate a good meal. the first for a long time, wrote a few letters. chatted to Sarah brightly and merrily, and when she went off to bed at II o'clock. I said 1 would sit up for an- other hour and read. for I didn't feel a bit sleepy.
 I started book, and gradually it became too heavy for me to hold, and my eyes grew dim. l felt just a little sick and very thirsty. I got up to get some water, and it seemed as if my legs wouldn't support me, and I swayed and started violently at the sound of footsteps going past the house.
 
 came over me that awful, horrible. black despair, and this time it seem ed worse than before. In self pity I felt as if I must shriek aloud for help. oh, it was awful! It was the torment of a soul in hell.
 And then-then my eyes fell on that deadly. little daintily ribboned box which stood the mantelpiece behind a china vase. I had put it there without saying anything about it to Sarah.
 With trembling fingers I opened 1t. took some of the pretty white pow der, and in q few minutes all my happiness came back to me!
 Yes, 1 had found a cure at last, and I went to sleep that night with the box under my pillow. I had found my cure!

ming to feel the terrible want of the
 stimulant, and every moment lost in
 taking it seemed an hour of agony.
 Sarah replied quite unconcernedly
 that she had seen a little box on the
 mantelpiece, but had thought it was empty, and had thrown it into the
 fire as being of no value. Down the Slope. Then all the devils of the ravening
 force of despair eating me up let loose their clamor; all the furies of hell seemed to be reused in me. For
 I was just simply aching, craving for my drug.
 I completely lest my temper; I stormed at Sarah told her that she
 had no business to touch my things, and that the sooner I went and lived by myself where I could be certain
 my belongings would not be meddled with. the better.
 I saw the tears come into her eyes. | a look of pain on her face, but that was nothing to me. I didn't care. I 1 wanted my cocaine, that was all. Then. throwing on my hat and coat, I tore out of the house and | away in a cab to Mrs. Bayneton's fiat. Fortunately I found her in. took a A'NN | with my new supply.
 Now that I was better, now that the awful strain had gone. I apolo- 1 gized to Sarah and swore that such a terrible thing should never happen again. And she. good simple soul, ! accepted my apologies, with just 2 word. Of wonder at my losing my | temper so suddenly and unexpectedly. I who had always been so good na- ! tured.
 An. if I could only have known 1 at the time that that outbreak of ! mine was a sure and certain sign that ] the cocaine was beginning to get it's l grim hold on me; that soon I should | be completely in its power! Had I | been taken in hand then, had I used i my own will then, it wouldn't have l been too late, and I might never have | drifted into that most awful of all | things-a cocaine fiend.
 l l soon became a daily visitor at | that vile. flat near Victoria kept by | Mrs. Bynston.
 | This woman was a remarkab ble l character. No one knew of what l nationality she was, but she seemed i to speak most European languages 1 ftuently-for to that haunt came men ! and women of all classes, creeds and l colors. She never touched cocaine i herself; she just simply provided it | for others, and who Mrs Bayneton | was, or had been, I was never abIe | to discover; in fact I don't think l | ever tried to, for my sole idea was to l get plenty of my beloved drug and | let the rest of the world go on its | way. And that indeed was evidently | the motto of all who came to the | flat.

 StrulUUIe RRgan

Struggle Began
 From that day the struggle broke loose. At every audience the Prince attempted to disway the gentelmen whom he had himself selected 12 years ago and trained and attempted to force on me a mass dismissal, which I did not acquiesce in. The time of the conference was approach ing. and he tried, by all the means of diplomacy, to prevent it from taking place. When at last the sittings of the Council of State passed off bril- liantly, and the minutes showed con clusively that with my above-men- toned memorandum I had hit the nail on the head, envy of his poor young Emperor overcame him, and he decided to destroy his successes. He attempted first, behind my back, to induce the individual diplomats to report home against the conference, and finally tried to persuade the Swiss Minister, pr. Arnold Roth, to request the Berne government not to aban- don it's conference in my favor, so that my conference might collapse. The Swiss. a fine honest fellow. who accidentally is good acquaintance of mine. disgusted at such treacher- ous unpatriotic conduct towards the German Emperor, teleEraphed at once to the Berne government that If the official abandonment of the Swiss Conference was not in his hands within 12 hours, he would retire. but would also say. wbY. The next morn- ing the desired announcement was there. and my conference was saved. As this plan had failed the Prince flung himself upon another. The new Peichstag had been elected; he was disgusted with the elections, and wanted to smash it up (sprengen) as soon as possible. For that the So- cialist law should be introduced 1t would be rejected by the Reichstag.

WOULD DEP0RT ALIENS
Seattle, Washington, Draft Board
Would Ship Back to Europe This
Undesirable Class.

The local draft boards are in re-
ceipt of a letter from the Seattle
(Wash.) draft and registration board
calling attention to a resolution re-
Gently adopted for the initiation Of a
nation wide move for the deportation
of all aliens, both declarants and non
declarants, who claimed exemption
from military service on the ground
of mono citizenship.
The letter states the exasperating
conditions that confronted the board
in Seattle and similar conditions, no
doubt, were confronted by many other
boards in various states. According
TO the views of the Seattle board,
every man who SO declared himself as
an alien branded himself as a danger
Gus person and the United States was
forced to protect these ngrates.
The letter also contains a para
graph showing that for every one of
this type, a good American boy was
forced to go to the front and that they
still retain good Jobs to the exclusion
OF the returned soldiers.

RAILROAD MUDDLE
Director General Hines Says He Only
Wants Time for Plan to BE
Developed.

Washington, Feb 5.-Out of, a col
and Senator Pomerene, of Ohio at
hearing today before the senate inter-
state commerce commission developed
a clarification Of diverging views on
the question of extending government
control Of railroads.
Senator Pomerene, speaking as a
legislator, said he could not under
stand why the direct Or general should
ask congress to turn over to him for
five years the mana cement of tremen-
dously valua bic properties in order to
permit him to work out some plan of
REORGANIZATION not yet fully formu-
lated
Mr.. Hines explained that he was not
advocating a fiVe-year extension as a
means of working out a permanent
solution, but only to give time in
which congress might develop a COM
prehensive reform plan. The railroad
admin istration, he said, had no auth
yorfty to reorganize the railroads along
these lines and he suggested that the
continued governm ent control would
be of an interim nature in order to
stabilize conditions pending a final
solution.
Senator pomercne said he did not
believe the railroad question could be
kept out Of the presidential election
under any circumstances. Mr.. Hines
agreed. but argued that the harmful
agitation resulting in hamperng ply
siCal operations of the roads would be
less if the end of government control
did not impend so carly.
