I To prevent that ho answered

T Starva silenced them with an angry
if I gesture
1 Ono moment friends ho purred
j 1 You do not quite understand When
wo first came Into this room I sug
gested that lots should bo drawn and
ho who was favored with tho lucky
number should fire concealed In the
I gloom that nono might be suro who
I had been chosen to snuff out Ferdi
nands llttlo soul But since our
friend Kuhns loyalty has been qucs
1
I tioned it Is ho who shall have that

chose their revolvers
Do you Capt Forbes make your

I raised my voice In a cry of dis

A mol Sturva
My trick succeeded admirably
Starva bounded up the staircase As

Honor My Sword
I awoke to consciousness to find
myself In tho music room I opened
my eyes languidly Helen was bend
ing over me
What Is It I murmured Yes
I remember thofight on tho salr
case
I struggled to my feet but sank
back dizzily my hands to my aching
forehead
Thank God you aro alive and It is
all over cried Helen brokenly
And Ferdinand Is safe
Quito safo and unhurt Already
=
Ho Fell Headlong Without a Groan
the money for 1L Theyre only 29
cents same as tho stores hut my wife
makes cm and theyre much bigger
And so ho sends them up and the
housewife looks them over and they
are good aprons and good size and she
ncpils an apron just then an so she
takes one Whether the mans wife
really makos them or not sho iloean
know but if she did why her husband
must ho out of work and altogether
thoy must bo in
pretty hard cases and
maybe that all moves the buyer some
But she really needs i
an apron and so
aho buys one anyway and puts the rest
back In tho dumbwaiter and the 29
cents wrapped up in a piece of paper
r Dont she cried In pain How
can you spool of love at such an
hourf
Forgive me What a selfish brute
I am But by the bywhen Umo has
softened your bitter pllnIn happier
days may I como to your
Happier days She clasped her
hands in quick despair looking be
yond me as if Into a future that must
bo always dark for her
Yes I Bold passionately there
shall yet be happier days for you and
for mo Do you remember on the ter
race the little beacon light In tho far
off mountains 1 That was my star
It comforted me then It bids mo
hopo now It tells me Helena you
love nv
No She withdrew the band
I had held almost fiercely
Her vohcmcnco brought me rudely
to my senses I had been mad to
hope I turned slowly from her
groping my way toward tho door
for my head was Btlll throbbing furi
ously
She stopped mo with a cry of dis
tress She clung to mo in her eager
ness
You dont understand sho plead
ed You have saved my brothers
honor as far as the world can know
But this shame that cur hes mo this
disgrace can I forget it X
I would holp you bear IL
Mr Hnddon wo Brotts have been
a proud nice Our happiness wo share
with others But disgrace wo bear
alone
Dont say that you arc bitter now
but
If you had known me bettor said
Helena quietly you would under
stand that I do not give tomorrow I
what I muot deny today I
When I told her of Wllloughbys
tragic death I had thought It pathet
ic that a woman should be so strong
It was her calm courage that had
first awakened my love for her I
must not complain now If she was
not to bo moved by my entreaties
But this question I did ask
uU I could have proved that your
ho has left the chateau Capt Forbes
will toll you everything presently
I have been unconscious so long
Am I wounded I feel no pain only
this headache and dizziness
A bullet grazed your tomplo an
eighth of an Inch more She shud
dered It wounded you only slight
Iy but you have been unconscious
nearly an hour
My usual luck I cried bitterly
It was to have been my chance I
hoped to retrieve myself and I am
winged tho first shot Fato is deter
mined It seems that I shall stick to
my role of coward
Dont dont ever say that hor
rible word again cried Helen pas
sionately It was your shot that
killed Starva It Is you who have
saver Ferdinand It Is you who have
saved for mo the honor of my poor
brother so far as the world can know
How can I ever be grateful enough
Helena I cried passionately
you member at Lucerne on tho
terrace when I told you of WlilouGh
bys death how he had died calling
mo coward It was you that pointed
out to me a way of escape you told
me how I could regain the selfre
spect I thought I had lost forever i
It was to bo a life for a life you
Bald When I had saved a life for I
tho life that was lost through I
my
cowardice I was to stand once more
upright among men Tell me you de
spice mo no longer
Despise you she murmured If
you know how I honored you
Ah It is worth
while to bear
you
say that But you must Bay more lad
nltoly moro than that now dear to
satisfy me Helena I
thought only a
week ago that If I
could
c win
your ro
apoct I should bo happy But now
I want your love
brother had not after all shown him
self also to the motto of your house
Honor my Sword would you still
have refused to listen to mo
Ab If Mr Haddon
For almost the first time since I had
known her she smiled and that faint
smile opened tho gates of paradise
to me She would not bo moved to
declare her lore for mo but she did
lovo mo I was sure of IL
And then suddenly I thought of the
words of tho Countess Sarahoff when
I mado my escape by the ladder of
atones Go and I swear by the cause
I hold sacred that if you can savo
Ferdinand the honor of Sir Mortimer I
shall bo saved That promise might
mean little It might mean that sho
would show her gratitude by refusing
to mako public Sir Mortimers dis
grace Or had her words a deeper
significance
But I cried eagerly nothing is
Quito Impossible I repeat now what
I said to you whon in your grief
you asked me to meet tho banker I
cannot believe In your brothers guilt
I cannot conceive how a man whoso
integrity has been undoubtctd during
a brilliant career should suddenly
stoop to the shame of taking bribes
A flash of hope shone In Helenas
palo face only to bo followed br
tho deepest dejection But thero aro
the proofs sho said mournfully I
cannot would that I could deny my
brothers writing
1 must see Madame do Yarn lor A
few hours ago she held us at her
mercy But now we have the upper
hand there aro many things she
must explain Whore Is sho
She loft Uio chateau with Ferdi
nand half an hour ago
Left tho chateau I cried aghast
Why was she not hold
on the shelf beside them and then Bho
calls down
Heres the rest of the aprons and
the money for one I took
And he answers back up the small
shaft Thank you Im much obliged
Good by
And when sho hears his voice agiiin
sounding so natural and unaffected
and unpoddlorllko why really sho Is
inclined to believe tho story Is true
BULGARIAS NEW FLAG
Bulgarias flag Is so now that Turk
1 ish gunners recently failed to recog
nize it and with blank shots turned
Prince Ferdinand Inalitod that she
must go at once to Sofia He boa
sent her on some secret mission I
think sho muot bo one of his spies
And she left no message for meT
I demanded gloomily
No replied Helena looking at mo
In wonder Why do yon ask
I did not tell heV of Madamo do
Varnlcrs promise I knew now that
It had been given mo quite recklessly
to spur me to action I was mad to
oxpoct mercy and gratitude from such
a woman Sho was too dctermlmt
on her revenge I remembered bit n I I
terly how she had told me in tho tow
er that she sacrificed friends and ene I
mies If they proved obstacles to hor
plans
I had hoped I answered vaguely
now that Ferdinand was caved that
she might In some way bo able to
show us that your brothers dishonor
Is not co great as It appears
But could she explain away his
writing asked Helena mournfully
No even if she feels remorse for hor
cruelty In torturing me it is too
late I have eaten of the tree of knowl
edge Mr Haddon and It Is very bit
ter Heaven has reversed my fate and
yours It Is I who now have lost my
selfrespect while you have coined
No I cried bitterly I have fail
ed utterly in my task I dared hope
for too much I have dared too
greatly in dreaming that I should find
happiness In this Castle of Lies
But she whispered I too have
dared Ernest and I shall not for
get
Helona I crushed hor hands In
mine Even now I refuse tddcapalr
I will find this woman though I search
tho earth for her She shall tell me
everything and perhaps even now
Not even your love can bring about
the Impossible
But If It could If by a mlraclo
your brothers honor wore shown to
bo stainless
I
Ah If you could work miracles
yes sho faltered
The door was flung open brusque
ly Locke stood at tho threshold hla
keen glance bent cynically on mo
So you are quite yourself again 7
He concealed his embarrassment by
a gruff demeanor So much the bet
ter for you must be off before the
dawn my friend
And where I demanded aston
ished and not a little piqued at his
cool assurance
En route for America if you aro
wise
You are settling my destiny in a
rather highhanded manner I cried
angrily And will you tell mo why
you dispose ot mo BO summarily
Why replied he with a quiet
laugh I have promoted you
He became suddenly serious glanc
ing uneasily at Helena
Miss Dret Capt Forbes and my
self will accompany you to your ho
tel presently Will you wait hero
while I Bay a tow words to Mr Had
don
But it Is not possible that you still
mistrust him after tonight she do
mandcd with Indignation
No no ho assured her I would
spare you from embarrassment that
Is alL
Como then I said shortly
When we had reached the gallery
I saw to my astonishment that the
hall below was empty I listened and
there was complete silence
What have Forbes and yourself
done with your prisoners I demand
ed In perplexity I forgot to ask
what Locke had meant In saying flip
pantly that ho had promoted me
They are all gone but two Locko
answered cooly He lighted a cigar
ette and leaning on the gallery rail
stared down into the hall Starva
and Bratlnaus bodies aro In tho din
ingrooms but their souls havo been
swiftly ferried across the Styx by old
Charon Nothing reminds us of our
fight except the dark stain on tho
staircase carpet yonder It was a
good scrap while It lasted Your shot
winged Starvn as you probably know
I settled Bratlnau Forbes poppered
away In the dark and had fair luck
The man called Go on or Geeup or
something like that got a shattered
ankle and tho Servian a rather nasty
wound in the thigh As for tho rest
of the gentry three of them rallied
to your slogan and Joined mo at tho
staircase the other two were easily
settled with Yea It was a good
fight but much too short especially
for you old chap He shook his
head despondently
But your prisoners I demanded
again Irritated by his superfluous
comments
It was Prince Ferdinand who in
sisted on their release
Their release I interrupted fu
riously What Incredible folly
You remember that Starva and
Bratlnau were the only Bulgars
among the conspirators and they are
dead Tho two ringleaders are wound
ed badly enough to go to a hospital
Forbes himself has accompanied them
thoro to see that they are not dis
charged until one of us Is told Prac
tically they are prisoners Thoro re
mains Kuhn Plteschti and GIngaJa
the three men who showed that thoy
had Borne Instincts humanity when
It came to the crisis The other two
were arrant cowards Ferdinand pre
fers to consider the three his loyal
friends and two others powerless
Ho has sot them at liberty
By Jove his magnanimity or hU
folly will cost him dear
I am not BO certain of that re
sumed Locke thoughtfully It Is
possible that he has made five frienda
of five enemies You must remember
that oven If ho wished to punish tho
conspirators ho la powerless to do
this without advertising to the world

ON COMMON GROUND
No man differs from another hi
opinion so widely that there Is not
Home common ground on which the
two may stand together In hnrmony
While thoro aro many things to
which the Rev Thurston Brown gave
voice last Sunday evening In his ser
mon on prohibition to which we can
not agree there were some to which
we are glad to subscribe
While Frances WHIard no doubt
cympathlzed with many of the alms
of the Socialists she never for one
moment wavered In her loyalty to the
cause of prohibition nor ceased to
wish the saloons to be abolished from
every land No ontf who has read her
biography or studied her life closely
can doubt that had she decided that
she could bring about the golden age
of man more quickly through desert
ing the temperance cause and work
Ing through Socialism she would have
done so even If she know she could
live but a few days more She would
not have waited to live hor life over
again if she had become convinced
that prohibition of the liquor traffic
was the wrong step She was too
conscientious We arc forced to be
lieve then that uo such conviction
over came to her
If Frances Willard had ever be
come a Socialist she never would have
become the kind that defends the sa
loon or Is afraid that the absence
of the open saloon will cause hypoc
risy
risyBut
But wo started to quote what we
liked on the above mentioned sermon
It was this and followed to a logical
conclusion It will do away with any
secret saloons
There Is no virtue merely In cover
ing up any evil thing no virtue In pro
moting ignorance of any social evil
So long as the evil exists It Is moral
lv Imperative that every member or
tho community know It
It Is an Infinitely greater protection
for your daughters and your sons ot
nny age that they know all the tacts
of social vice In your city than that
they bo Ignorant of thorn
Those people who say Wo dont
want to know the facts about any evil
thing aro not good citizens and they
profane tho name of religion when
they call themselves religious
What historical character can you
name who If tho story of his life Is
half true over know so much of tho
physical and moral and social disease
of his lime as Jesus did LJy what
right do these people who refuse to
know all the facts concerning vice
dare to call themselves followers of or
believers In that man
There Is no virtue In Ignorance any
where And in no country In the
world Is It so morally imperative its
In this that all of us know all the
facts about every social or political I
evil for we have no function or duty
so Imperative or important as that
of dealing squarely and Intelligently
with these evils In a democratic I
form of government whatever under
mines not merely tho minds and
bodies hut the moral sense of the
people Is the supreme menace of tho
nation
Tho safety and security of such a
nation as this lies supremely In the
clearness of Its moral Judgment We
can all see easy enough tho necessity
that tho minds of tho people shall be
clear and on that ground we are Jus
tified In opposing any vice or any bus
iness which tends to dim or darken tho
mind or weaken tho physical and men
tal powers
But It Is not so common for men
and women to seo the need of a heal
thy moral sense It Is easy to See that
dissipation and open vice are a dan
ger to society But these are not
half as dangerous as the absence or
moral sense
LINCOLN THE ABSTAINER I
Shortly after AbrabanvLlncolnn was
nominated for tho presidency by the
Republican National convention some
Democratic citizens feeling that
Springfield had been honored by the
nomination sentn several baskets of
wine to Mr Lincolns house lie how
ever returned them thanking tho
senders for their intended kindness
After the formal ceremonies con
nected with the business of the com
mittee of notification had passed Mr
Lincoln remarked that as an appro
priate conclusion to an Interview so
important and Interesting ho supposed
good manners would require that he
should furnish the committee some
thing to dring and opening a door he
called out Mary Mary A girl re
sponded to the call to whom Mr Lin
coln spoke in an undertone
In a few minutes the maid entered
bcarin ga largo tray containing several
glass tumblers and a large pitcher and
placed It upon the center table Mr
Lincoln then arose and gravely ad
dressing tho distinguished gentlemen
said Gentlemen we must pledge
our mutual healths In the most hearty
beverage God has given to man It is
the only beverage I have ever used or
allowed In my family and I cannot
onsclentlously depart from It on tho
present occasion it Is pure Adams
alo from the spring And taking a
tumbler he touched it to his lips and
pledged them his highest respects In a I
cup of cold water
Lincolns Anneal for Prohibition
Springfield 1853
The liquor traffic Is a cancer in so
ciety eating out its vitals and threat
ening destruction and all attempts to
regulate It will not only prove abort
ive but aggravate the evil If the pro
hibition of slavery Is good for the
black man tho prohibition of the
I liquor traffic is equally good and con
stltutlonal for the white man
There must be no more attempts to
regulate the cancer It must be eradi
cated for until this be done all I
classes must continue oxposod to be
come the victims of strong drink j
The most effectual ropicdy would ho 1
the passage of a law altogether aboll
ishlng tho liquor traffic
Law must protect and conserve right I
things and punish wrong things and
If there Is any evil In tho land that
threatens society or Individuals more
than another It IB the liquor traffic
I The above address was delivered J
+ + I ± i
over fifty years ago In a city where
only last month thQro was disagree
ment about whether it was appropriate
to serve liquors at a Lincoln Jar ban
Quet It was finally settled by erv
t Ing liquor at the tables whore drink
f erg Bat and nonIntoxicants at the ab
stainers tables the banqueters being
thus divided
REPUBLICAN FLATTERIES
The effort of the InterMountain Re
publican bv means of an editorial en
titled Past the Danger Point to
scare the Mormon church out of Ita
attitude for prohibition is the most
flagrantly partisan move that we have
seen for a long time
The editorial first pats tho church
on the back for not passing the prohi
bition law and then says If the legis
lature had passed the law there would
have boon a cry of church Interfer
ence on tho part of nonMormons be
cause tho Mormons are so largely In
Ute majority In tho legislature
Now isnt that an argument What
is to hinder people from crying
church Interference If it Isnt pass
ed Certainly those legislators have a I
right to vote is they wish regardless
of church membership but It is only
natural that wo should expect a moral
measure to be passed by them Just on
the same ground that we would expect I
it to be passed if the majority of tho
senate were composed of Methodists or
Baptists for the simple reason that
their carlv church training would nat
urally lead them to believe that they
should support what Is for tho best
moral Interests of all tho people
It is only natural to suppose that the i
present public altitude of their church I
leaders and their arguments should
have some weight with these legisla I
tors even If they had by some mis
chance missed a correct early training I
on the subject of temperance It would
probably have such an effect on any
church member but their voting for
prohibition would not therefore mean
that they had been coerced In any
way by their church
To the Impartial the vote as it i
I
stands simply seems to Indicate that
those Mormon legislators who voted I
against prohibition have not had an
efficient church training on the sub
I ject of temperance and It Is somewhat
I of a reproach to the church whether
deserved or noL
I But there Is nothing to hinder both
Mormons and nonMormons saying to I
all these legislators who havo voted I
I against prohibition Stand aside until
you get an aroused conscience on this
l subject We want spmeone who will
I represent us better
OUR FRIENDS THE SOCIALISTS
While tho socialists are writing
against prohibition and thundering
against our cause from their platforms
the temperance people havo all united
for prohibition and are usually too
busy working for what we want to tell
our friends of their mistakes
But now make no mistake dear
friends Almost to a man and woman
you will find the temperance people
In favor of referring every important
question moral or otherwise to tho
people for a vote Yes we believe In
the referendum
We bellevo In the people being able
to initiate any law that a majority of
them wants Wo believe In tho Ini
tiative
And when an ofilcor wont do his
duty we believe he ought to be put
out of office by a vote of the people
Wo believe In tho recall
I
And some of these days the social
ists will wake up and Und that wo I
I
havo not only secured prohibition but
that we have secured a whole lot of
things thaj they themselves wanted
but have been so busy criticizing oth
ers that they didnt have time to real
ly work for them in an effective way
Dear friends it is easier to work for
what you want than to work against
what somebody else wants Try lu
SUBMIT IT TO THE PEOPLE
U was suggested by Senator Badger
of the Utah legislature that tho ques
tion of prohibition ought to bo sub
mitted to a vote of the people
Although ho did not say w but be
ing opposed to prohibition It Is to bo
Inferred that he thought It would not
carry if submitted to a vole
Well wo Just dare the Utah legisla
ture to submit that question to tho
people If tire people of Ogden arc
any fair sample of the whole state
prohibition would carry
Tho people of this state who ate
not In the liquor business have some
vested rights too although twolvo
of Utahs senators do not seem to
think so Their rights are vested
In tholr families and they are more
sacred rights than the vested rights
of tho liquor dealers
Yo by all moans just submit it to
the people Dare daro Doublo darel
BY WIRELESS
r
The Latent
If wo are correctly informed by a
J
llltlo bird this session may yet give
Utah state prohibition by submitting
an amendment to the constitution to
that effect be voted on by tho people
It is said that a majority of the j
senate IB willing to submit the ques t
tion to a vote of the people Jf this is
true it Is good news
Constitutional prohibition Is as much
bolter than mere legislative prohibi
tion as local option is bettor than leg
islative regulation of the saloon
In tho hands of the people Is whoro
tho question belongs We believe that
It would carry by a very large ma
jority But If it should not It would
certainly go to prove that Utah wad
not yet ready for the law for tho peo
ple must be back of It to make It ef
fective But we have no fears
Hand us our trusty ballots and the
sooner the quicker
SOME THEY MISSED
While It was impossible of course
for the dally newspapers to print all
the notable utterance of Lincoln they
missed some that wo feel thoy should
not We clip these from his biogra
