CHAPTER XVI
Practical Temperance Reform


The small town Of Durford was not
immune from the curse of drink: there
was no doubt about that. Other forms
of yiciousness there were plenty; but
the nine saloons did more harm than
all the rest of the evil influences put
together, and Maxwell, though Ear
from being fanatic, was doing much
In quiet way to neutralize their bad
influence. He turned the Sunday
School room into q reading room dur
ing the week days, organized gym
nasium, kept watch of the younger
men individually, and offered as best
he could some chance for the express
sion of the gregari0us instinct which
drew them together after the work Of
the day was over. In the face of his
work in these directions. 1t happened
that q venturesome and enterprising
saloon keeper bought vacant proper
ty adjacent to the church, and opened
up an aggressive business much TO
Maxwell's dismay.
Among the women OF the parish
there was Ladies Temperance
League" Of which Mrs. Burke was
president. They held quarterly meet
ings, and it was at one Of these piect-
ings held at Thunder Cliff. at which
Mrs. Burke presided. that she remark
I'd severely:
"Mrs. Sapley. you're out of order.

lower and lower. Finally his mother
remarked quietly:
Mickey, / thought you were going
to be a gentleman"
That's straight. all right. what I've
told you," he murmured abashed.
There was another silent pause
presently broken by Mickey.
II guess hadn't thought about It,
just that way. guess I'll give the
kids their money back,' he volunteer
ed despondently-"only I'll have to
make 1t up, some way In the treas
ury." He felt in his pockets, and jim
gled the coins.
Another pause-with only the tick
ing Of his mothers knitting needles
to relieve the oppressive silence. Sud
denly the worried pucker disappeared
from his brow, and his face frightened
like sun burst.
sT'ye got 1t, Mrs. Maxwell" he cried.
"Tve got seventy five cents comm to
me down at the Variety Store, for
birch bark frames. and I'll give that
for the blamed old missionaries.
That's square, Amt 1t now?"
Mrs. Betty's commentator and her
smile were salve~to the wounds Of her
young guest, and Donald's hearty
laughter soon dispelled the sense of
social failure which was beginning to
cloud Nickey's happy spirit.
"Say Mickey" said Maxwell, throw
ing down his paper. Mrs. Betty and !
want to start a Boy Scout Corps in
the parish. and with your resourceful
genius you could get the boys togeth.

the boy grinned with delight. "We're

the books that we shall need upstairs.
Let's go up to my den and talk 1t all
over. We shall have to spend eve.

With sparkling eyes, Mickey follow
