indications were that many Of these ac-

Omcials said In all probability the

studying the question for some time and
has made no official announcement, but

prisoners who were not persistent vio-
lators Of the Volstead law and who did
not commit other crimes while In the

but no pre-repeal rush to obtain liquor
permits from county judges was noted.
The States largest city, Charleston,

practically no celebration anywhere in
the county.

looking at him, silent and per-
picked, with a look Of pain in

How could he come to her
like this and casually tell her
that he was through with her,
tired of their marriage? How
could he suggest that all he
had to do was to pay her off,

were a pensioner, and that that
would settle whatever debt he
owed her and the baby. He
was cruel and indifferent. She
realized that, but it did not
