Fair! She would get away, now, at once, without going indoors again. There would be taxis at the corner But when she had almost gained the steps at the front Ballard came out.
 He was strong and sturdy looking and not too big. Mary stopped short in her tracks, unintending, and looked at him, straight in the eyes. Ballard stopped, too, futilely speechless. But into his eyes there came a look, so glowing with candor, so full Of the frank worship that had sent him away and brought him back, that all at once Mary knew, so we'll that 10000 proofs could not have made her surer, that Gallatin had indeed lied.
 "You didn't marry an Indian girl out there" she cried shaking her head slowly. It was as if she were talking to herself, with nobody about and there was a queer little shaky tremble in her voice that told Ballard what he would gladly have given all his oil wells to know. "No, you didn't marry a squaw ]"
 "No," said Ballard. "Gallatin did"
 "YOu see," said Ballard afterward. "Gallatin thought 1 was starting, with some other oil men, for China and wouldn't be back here for many months. It was an easy story for him to tell, because he knew it from ex- perience. He came to me broke, out there. I gave him a job with a scout ing party. It happened just as he nnlU that to turn the trick for himself instead of for his employer. He married the girl. all right. But there wasn't any oil under her land, after all A month ago he sold the land to specu- lator for his carfare and jumped out deserting the squaw."
 But I don't understand, even yet what made him tell me that horrid lie He didn't know that we-that I-Oh you know just what I mean !. I'm just as sure you never mentioned my name to him as 1 am that Pm alive"
 Success had brought cOmpOsure tc Fred Ballard, given him an air of quie' self-confidence. But he was suddenly as disconcerted as a boy at his first dancing class. "Why, er-r," he stam mered, "you see, my car got ditchec out there one day-rOtten roads-anC I was spilled and knocked out. They ripped my clothes off, looking for tht damage There was a ptcture-a snap shot. GalIatin was along. He mus
 have seen. Do you think-it was talk | ing a-a liberty?"

More Work for WindmlIIs.

The old farm windmill will be given new job if the engineering experi- ments that are now being made at the Iowa station prove to be successful. Turning a dynamo to produce electric lights on the farm is the idea being tested by F. 0. Fenton, agricultural engineer, and E. 0. Kurtz, electrical engineer, at the Iowa State college The test is being made with an ordi- nary windmill which turns generator, and the electricity is stored in bat teries until used. If it proves to be practical engineers see the pOssibili' ties of making cheap lights available on the farm.

Temperance Union Editor)
 From the Viewpoint of The Traveller
 If any of the anti-prohibitionists are honest doubters as to the value of our dry laws. and are really convinced in their own minds that these laws only lead to more drinking and to lawless- ness in general, they would become broadened in mind should they travel in Europe.
 The Lake County Times, of Ham mond, Qndiana), prints lengthy in terview with Dr. J A. Graham, who has recently returned from twelve months. of research work abroad Commenting upon the evils of drink across the waters, the doctor states: After a year spent in Europe, l see I have better perspective of prohi- bition than before 1 left and cannot see how any man would wish to have the saloon back: We are so much bet ter without it."
 The well-known novelist, Fannie Hurst, just back from her tour of Eu- ropean countries, says that We don't see the benefits of prohibition until we go abroad and compare our cOun- try with others. Prohibition is one of the greatest sociological reforms the world has known"
 Those who would bring back light wines and beer, because prohibition has caused bootlegging" would per haps see things in different light if they were to visit Belgium. Arthur w | Forbes of New Bedford, Massachu- setts. is quoted by the Standard of that city as writing: Here in Bel gium they have banished hard liquor They have wine of reduced alcoholic content and beer, but the bootleggeI plies his trade and sells brandy Scotch, and whiskey, and is doing fine
 On the other hand, that real prohibi- tion is gaining ground in the United | States is seen even in foreign cOun- tries Fannie Hurst said she noticed that even the American people who talked against prohibition in Europe did more talking than drinking. Lots of them make up for lost time in g | drinking way" she stated, ''but I no l ticed most American men talked about | cocktails and drank water"
 And this opinion agrees with others regarding conditions at London hotels Our American patrons" said the manager of one of the biggest hotels in London, "are an exceedingly nice kind of people, but they are observing their national custom. They are no drinking nearly as much wine as they used to-" And the dispatch whicl quoted this manager added, "A visi to a well-known American bar seem ed to bear out what the hotel manager said. Americans by the score were il the nearby lobby, but at the bar were only four customers, and they were unmistakably British"
 Prohibition is working!

Bulgarian Educators Strike
To Save Letter i'm Alphabet

that the university faculty had gone
on strike as protest against the
change.
On the Bulgarian alphabet" the
minister said, eve have used two let
ters in ancient times to denote
whether the preceding consonant
should have a soft or hard sound. In
the modern usage of the language we
have always written these two letters
but did not pronounce them. They
were silent or useless and were used
only in the eastern dialect of the Ian
guage. In the western dialect they
were never used, and the government
very properly decided to simplify the
orthography of Bulgaria by eliminat-
ing them.
at is very probable that the faculty
professors have objected to the iudg-
ment Of the Cabinet and have ex-
pressed their resentment by refusing
to further perform their duties as a
means of informing the Cabinet that
they desired to be heard before any
undermining of the language was au-
thorized"
Minister Panareteff said that there
was no American equivalent to the let
ters or cha}acters involved.

Maj. McCutcheon, Missing
Since October, Sought
General Police Alarm Sent Out
for Former Husband of
Pearl White

A general police alarm was sent out
yesterday for Major Wallace McCutch-
con, late of the British Royal Flying
Corps, actor and former husband of
Pearl White, motion picture star.
McCutcheon has not been seen since
October, when he left the Lambs club
house. saying he intended taking a short
journey. Relative and friends have
searched for him without success
throughout the United States.
Yesterday Ross McCutcheon, brother
of the major, whose home is at 1876
West Sixteenth Street, announced that
the family had requested sending out
a general alarm. 1t was feared, Mr..
McCutcheon said, that the major had
met with foul play or had perhaps been
seized with aphasia is a result of many
wounds he received in the war while
with the S1st Leicestcrshires in
Flanders.
The theory that Major McCutcheon
NAL have suffered loss of memory is
inspired by the. fact that he submitted
to trepanning operation after suf-
fering severe shrapnel wounds in his
head. A silver plate was inserted in
his skull. 1t was for gallantry in &C
tion that McCutcheon received his
rank as major

Hem, sixteen years old, of 791 Eleventh
Avenue; George Mullen, nineteen years
old, of 40 West Fifty-sixth Street and
George Hazel, sixteen years old, of 419

SOFIA, Bulgaria, March 1.-THE fac
ulty Of Sofia University to-day declared
a strike and declined to hold classes
until the Ministry of Education assures
il liberty of action. The dispute over
the attempt of the Ministry to elimi-
nate one letter from the Bulgarian
air habet, which was announced som.
time ago, is now developing into an or
garized protest by the intellectuals
against alleged class distinctions by the
governme
The situation is causing the Cabinet
much anxiety. The attitude of the uni
versity professors is being supported
by mass meetings throughout the coun-
try and by organizations of profess
sional workers.

tion of the Bulgarian government in
