Lake placed his wife's hand be-
tween his palms, and, looking tender
ly into her eyes said:
II am going to Or. Phillips house.
Now, I want you to promise to do
nothing rash. You must remain here
until l return, and admit No one"
81 will do exactly as you say" she
promised.
Not until she heard his footsteps in
the sitting room did she come out OF
her bedroom. She greeted him eff
fustvely, as though he had returned
from journey.
The Governor is away for a short
rest somewhere he said dejectedly
But Phillips will see him just as
soon as he can. He will try to get
into communication with him the
first thing tomorrow morning.
Let us hope for the best she re-
piled, all courage rising with the
first sign that it was waning in her
husband.
Something dreadful has happen

her brother and sister-in-law await
ing her.
For a moment they thought she re-
ferred to them. and they looked star
tied.
Frank nearly got arrested" she
continued breathlessly.
HOW" Lake and his wife asked

came home just now there We're the
same two men seated on the steps
downstairs. Frank asked them what
they were doing there, and one of
them replied it was none of his bust

and then Frank struck him. The
second man interfered and separated
them There was a policeman on the
corner, and Frank called him. He
wanted him to arrest the two men,
saying they were burglars. And what
do you think? They showed their
badges. They Were detectives. They
are watching the house."
Where IS Frank now?" Lake ask
ed anxiously.
AT first the detective wanted to ar
rest him, but finally he conclud ed
that he wouldn't. So Frank and his
mother drove home"
You must have been terribly
fr1ghtened?" Mrs. Lake asked.
I wasn't a bit" Ethel responded.

CIGARETTES MORE POPULAR
THAN CIGARS, Is CLAIM

AKRON, Ohio. Aug. THAT the
cigar is becoming forgotten and
that men are replacing it with the
cigarette is the claim made by Akron
tobacco dealers.
The tendency 10 place the cigar
cite ahead OF the cigar among all
classes of smokers has become more
pronounced in recent months. Frank
r. Med, manager of cigar store
here, declared.
cigarettes are not only more
Fashionable, but they are becoming
cheaper. Perhaps this explains their
increased popularity" said Med.
cigarettes are now the cheapest in
five years. Leading manufacturers
are having price war among them
selves that has lowered prices to very
attractive levels.
"A reason, perhaps as pertinent as
cheapness of price, is the strong ap-
proval set on cigarettes by fashion"

Many and varied have been excuses

when a woman-Mrs Alma NJ. Bern

suit of a controversy over the subject
of the relative value of trousers and
skirts as hiking attire.

NOT CAUSE
OF INCREASED USE OF
DOPE SAYS FRENCHMAN

PARIS, Aug. 2.-''The accusations
of American vets that prohibition is
responsible for the increase of the
drug habit in America is extremely
exaggerated if not totally unfounded'
is the decision of M. Ernest Guy, for
mer attache of the French High Com
mission to America during the war,
who has completed an investigation
of prohibition in the United States IN
the interest of the wine exporters OF
France. '"rhe. increase of the drug
habit is general over the world, ana
that includes the non-prohtDltlon
countries It has increased in the
same proportions in England and
France. 1t is part. of a German
plan to flood the world with the
drugs they manufacture"
NJ Guy, who is frankly interested
in seeking a solution to the staSna-
ton Of the French wine industry and
trying to find means for opening up
the vineyards former markets, struck
another blow at the fractional argu-
ments of the vets when ne declared
| that his investigation convinced him
that the crime wave sweeping over
American cities has no connection
with the liquor question. The same
! phenomenon has been seen in Europe
| also, he declares, and is one of the
expectable after effects of the war.
