."You-A" Gish's voice. was
thick. He was utterly of his
guard, he had lost his head and
his nerve alike. He shook the girl
furiously. 'How do you know?"
He choked. Terry looked down
at her bruised wrists, and up into
his eyes. Oddly enough she was
no longer afraid, only sick to the
soul of her with the horror Of a
creeping, horrifying certainty. Il
Everybody knows - or win

In the ante-room Haines breath
ed hard. She had learned her
lesson well, was playing her part
as he had never hoped she would
do. With sudden violence Gish
flung her hands from him. His
lips were twisted back over his
teeth in a snarl. 49,.

Again in the ante-room Haines
drew a deep breath. One of the
men ceased writing in q f1appy
note book with a very stumpy
and blunt pencil. The other opehed
the door.

Haines caught Terry as she
stumbled toward him. Without
looking back he lifted, her, carried
her down the stairs, past the
startled groups in the vestibule anG
out to the car. Al 1t slid away

Discord among themselves has had
something to do with the new turn OF
events and the apparent regaining OF
strength by the prohibitionists.
In the United States, when prohibition
was being debated. there was dispute
among brewers and distillers as to which
was most or least respectable, but II
Mexico the question of precedence is
much more complicated.
There are rich brewers rich distillers
rich makers of pulque and rich manu-
facturers of other beverages, Each OF
these sees dignity and public service, as

American sports have become The,
rage In Germany. The few American
boxers who have filtered into Ger
many have found rich piclkings and
easy bouts. Recently in Munich I saw
bout between a clever German pro-
fessional and a young German -Ameri-
can. The German had the footworll
technique of a fencer, and he always
made regulation number of swings
before placing blow. He also had
several extremely pretty fancy steps
with his. feet. The young American
was trifle wild and unscient;f1c, but
he had learned how TO use his fists In
Milwaukee. He was all over the ring,
until finally he stretched the old school
scientist out on the mat In the third
round.
This instance is one common in Ger
man sports generally. The old con-
ventional etiquette games In which
people learned to defend their honor
are giving way to sports which people
play and pay to see for the fun Of the
game.
DueIlfng Yields to Football.

gymnastics the only purpose of which

Week End Prohibition Tried.

He issued a Presidential order estab-
ishing what was called week end pro-
hibition." Saloons and all other drinking
places were required to close from noon
on Saturday until Z o'clock on Monday
mornings.
After this reform had been put into
effect. hotels and restaurants continued
70 sell wines and liquors TO their well 10
90 froquenters. This caused bitter com
piaint from the saloon men, who
charged that they were forced TO shut
their doors on their days OF greatest
profit so as to enable rich hotel men
to swell their profits.
Efforts were then made TO prevent
hotels and restaurants from selling
liquors during the restricted period.
This caused a storm Of opposition. This
