PERI"
The newspaper is there" I re-
torted disdainfully pointing to the
floor. you are at liberty to search
it if you wish. But I shall certainly
give you no other explanation. Your
asking it is in itself an offence"
L had reached the door by this
time. My husband stopped me with
q phrase, its syllables metallic.
Just a moment"
I turned my head, looked at him
steadily and waited for him to speak.
To all outward appearance 1 was
calm, but there was not a nerve in
me but what was trembling, ting
ling.
1T is. of course, your privilege TO
do this thing If you wish. But il is
also mine 10 resent il in my own
way And if you refuse TO give me
the explanation / har, asked i must
ask you not to address me upon any
other subject You will receive no
answer if YOU do. nor shall i speak
TO YOU again until you have come 70
your senses.
1 felt an insane desire TO laugh at
the vision which suddenly rose be-
fore me of Dicky and me going
through our daily routine of life
without speaking to each other. Of
the wrath of my mOther-in-law. the
amazement of the rest of the family
But my husbands white face, his
coldly wrathful eyes effectually pre-
Guided any idea Of mirth, even
though his threat was childish melO-
drama.
That rests with you" I told him
stiffly II shall follow your cue what
ever It may be"

reading It, With my spirits at zero
I went upstairs TO my room. locked
the door behind me, and sat down
TO consider this new dilemma which
Dicky's anger had thrust upon me.
] knew very well that his pride
would prevent him from carrying
out the threat ne had made. He
would never endure Katie's wide
eyed amazement. Jim's furtive looks
my fathers silent disapproval his
mothers voluble and caustic criti-
cism Of the course he had outlined
for us
But. on the other hand, I knew
that his stubborness would keep him
from receding in any way from the
uItimatum he had given me There
would be but one thing that he
could do. ! was sure that he was

which should entail either his stay

his profession.
The thought brought with II a
certain relief ] felt that I could
face whatever developed in the
Stockbridge case much better if
Dicky were 20 miles away.

ALL STATES MUST

Washington-C Constitutional prohibit
ton will be enforced strictly ard
equally in all states, Daniel C. Rop-
er, commissioner of internal revenue
declared.
In a statement backing the move
ment for law and order Sunday
in all churches on January IS, the
commissioner issued warning to all
states which are threatening to ig-
more the dry laws.
II cannot believe" Roper said.
that any state or other political di-
vision will consciously bring discredit
upon itself by failure to respond
promptly to its full legal and moral
responsibility of initiative and coop
Grafton in the enforcement Of the ma
tional prohibition act. -
Rhode Island and New Jersey are
the two states that have decided to
fight the constitutional amendment.
Il can have no different standard
with regard to prohibition than any
other law, and ! shall compel strict
observance of this law" Roper said
Whether prohibition is wise ma
tional policy is no longer a question
for debate among good citizens. 1t is
part of the constitution and all law
abiding citizens will demand its OBJ
servance."
