Budd's Crossing was growing into
a sizable place. The population had
increased twelve thousand, there
an apartment house, and Miller's build
ings, containing the new telephone
central, with the Hank of North Kan
sas opposite, was the picture that
familiarized tlio outside world with
Budd's Crossing when seen on post
cards.

There was a picture of Newton park,
with a couple seated upon a bench,
the young man's arm around tho girl's
waist. The young man was unmis

of photographic impact showed his
pointed, aggressive chin distinctly. The
girl, whose back alone was visible,
certainly looked like Netta Clare of

which was snapped by flashlight,
caused a good deal of scandal; and
from the fact that the principal fig
ures in it both laughed It might have
been Inferred that they were engaged
to be married.

slunk down a side street to avoid meet

Budd's Crossing is on the main rail
road line, and lies five miles beneath
Lake Lomond, which irrigates tho

dam, back in the mountains,

more. All agreed that only those on
the outskirts would be able to make
the rim of the horseshoe round the
town in time.
Budd's Crossing was not worrying
about the concrete dam, guaranteed to
last three centuries. It was worrying
about the bank robberies In neighbor
ing towns. The Colton gang had held
up the banks of Newboro and Gasthaus
in broad daylight, taken out the
tents of tho disrupted safes, and rid
den off unscathed. Budd's Crossing
had prepared for them—at least, the
bank had—in the shape of two armed
guards who patroled the front of the
building and were prepared to shoot
upon provocation. Some nervous peo
ple described bank robbers in every
stranger.

Nothing happened that morning. It
was not till two In the afternoon that
I'udd's Crossing got the thrill of Its
career. It was Netta Clare who sent
the news forth broadcast:
"The dam is breaking. Run for your
lives It will not hold out twenty min
utes."
_ . . 4V . ,
Out of the business offices, out of
five hundred homes, warned by the uni
versal panic, men and women rushed
for the hillside. Some carried babies,
some bundles which they discarded,
There was but one thought-flight—

The telephone exchange was desert

| remained. White-faced, but calm. Net
ta sat at her post, watching the men
ace on the hills above her. She tele
phoned Incessantly.
"Red Mills!
The dam has burst.
Run for your lives. Donchester! The
dam has burst. The flood will be on
you in fifteen minutes. PaintBbury!
Durham! Exeter! Labury! The dam
has burst."
She called the last settlement In the
valley, and then ran from the ex
change, casting apprehensive glances
upward. The dam had still held. The
town was empty.
Only in front of the bank two horses
tethered. As she ran past Netta cast
an apx>rchenslve glance In through the
open door. What she saw nerved
her to a realization of what had hap
pened.
Through the open door, and through
tho plate glass of the cashier's cage,
she saw Harry, bound and trussed,
seated helplessly, while an armed man
stood over him and another worked
busily amid the debris of what had
been the bank's safe. Upon the coun
ter of the cashier's cage lay Harry's
revolver, which he had drawn too late.
Immediately Netta sized up the situa
tion. The report was a fake, launched
by the robbers In the bold design of
emptying the town. It had succeeded
admirably, and, with nobody on hand
but Harry, they were safe to work
their will.
The hacks of the three were toward
her and they did not see Netta creep
like a mouse inside the bank. Cau
tiously she stole onward, no sound of
her footsteps echoing on the boards.
"Say, Dill, wo chose the day all
right," said the man at tho safe to his
companion, without looking around.
"There's tons of the stuff in here."
"Hurry up, Ned," answered the oth
er. "We've got to get homo before
it gets dark."
j
Nett* stole onward. Now, crouching
under the wall of the cage, she was in
visible if any of the bandits should
look round.
Slu# saw Harry, bound,
watching the men out of his half-closed
eyes. The lcok in them told her that
he had been surprised; there
was no
trace of fear there, and Netta waa

"Hands up!"
With an oath the man at the safe
sprang to his feet, to look into Netta's
eyes and thiow up his hands obedient
ly. At the same time the man guard
ing Harry swung round, with his re
volver raised.
"Drop It!"
He dropped it, and saved eternity by
a single second.
'Unfasten him!"
"Say, now—" protested one of the
men.
"I count two. One—"
Hurriedly Harry was unbound.
Stooping, he seized the revolver of his
i former guard.
"March them to jail, Harry. I'll—
J I'll stay here. I think—I think—"
said Netta, and fell weakly across the
1 counter.
That Is the story of the holdup of
Budd's Crossing. When the townspeo
ple crept back, by twos and threes and
driblets two hours later, they found
Harry Fisher guarding two prisoners
I In the sergeant's office, and Netta at
his side. And from the look on their
faces It was clear that the old mis
understanding had been forgotten.

Between Man and Man.
Confucianism, the prevailing doc
trine of China. Is neither a religion
nor a system of transcendental or cos
mic philosophy.
It is an ugnostte system of ethics and
a system of practical and purely tem
poral common-sense philosophy which
sees no farther than this earth.
It takes practically no notice what
ever of the question of an after life,
of eternity, of future rewards and pun
ishments, of God.
It teaches merely that one ought to
do good because It Is man's duty to
do good, Confucianism is entirely con
cerned with the relation between
and man.

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKY.
Because the report of the internal
revenue commissioner shows an in
crease In the revenue from distilled
•spirits the liquor interests are using
It to bolster up their get argument,
"Prohibition does not prohibit."
The reason for this increase is
found, not in the greater consumption
of whisky by the people of the United
States, but In various changing condi
tions here and abroad. One of these
is set forth by the secretary of the
treasury in the following statement:
"Notwithstanding the spread of pro
hibition, collections on distilled spirits
for the first ten months of the fiscnl
year showed an increase over the cor
responding period of n year ago. This
Is due in great measure to the effec
tive enforcement of the Internal rev
enue tax on distilled spirits. It Is
estimated that through the campaigns
of the treasury department ngainst
undergauging, equalizing and blockad
ing In distilleries, the revenue of tho
government has been Increased by
probably $5,000,000 um.unllly."
A further explanation is tlmt tho
large quantity of spirits shipped from
this country to Africa to take tho
place of the British product
barred from shipment because of the
European war, is counted in the "in
creased consumption." During the
year ending .Tune .'10, 1915, exports
amounted to 1,00.1.000 gallons; during
I he nine months, .Tuly, 1015, to March,
1910, 5,850,000 gallons were exported.
Then again there has been a steady
decrease In the supply of imported
liquors due to difficulties of transpor
tation. Some of the foreign distillers
have opened branches In this country,
and the taxes on their output are now
added to the internal revenue of tho
United Stntes.
now
Other reasons might be given, but
these suffice to show how alert the
liquoritos are to seize upon any appar
ent advantage furnished by figures and
how prone the public is to arrive at
hasty conclusions. It is not within
the province of the internal revenue
department to Interpret its report or
to explain where or how the tax-paid
liquor is actually used.
If the brewers and distillers believe
what they are loudly claiming, that
the
Internal revenue reports prove
that more liquor Is sold under prohibi
tion than under license, we shall find
them this fall lining up with the drys;
we shall find them during the anti
election campaign working and spend
ing their millions to make six more
states nnd the territory of Alaska dry.
BEER WORSE THAN WHISXY.
This Is what the Home Life Insur
ance company of Now York has to say
about beer:
"Of all Intoxicating drinks, It is the
most nnlmaliztng. It dulls the Intel
lectual and moral nnd feeds the sens
ual and beastly nature. Beyond nil
other drinks, it qualifies for delll)
i?rnte nnd unprovoked crime. In this
respect it Is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will com
mit murder only under the direct ex
citement of liquor, a beer drinker Is
capable of doing It in cold blond.
Long observation has assured us that
a large proportion of murders delib
erately planned nnd executed, without
passion or malice, with no other mo
tive than the acquisition of property
or money, often or trifling vnlue, are
perpetrated by beer drinkers."
NATIONAL DUTY.
Wherever you find those poor crea
tures whose brains are shattered;
wherever you find human beings hud
dled together In wretchedness, wher
ever you find men living in a condi
tion of vice and crime, they all bear
testimony that drink is the prime
agency In the creation of these un
sightly masses of pain and degrada
tion; and I say this, that the govern
ment would fall abjectly in its duties
if, through any base fear of any force
or combination of forces, they should
shrink' from doing all in their power
to cut from the social organism this
most malignant growth that drains
the vitality of the natio«.~-Rt. Hon.

WE DID NOT KNOW.
A leaflet Industriously circulated by
the liquor forces, puts to its readers
Hip following query:
that Vermont, on March 7, 1910, voted
two to one to return to local option
after CO years of prohibition?"
"No, we did not know It, nor shall
we ever know It. And for the best
of reasons—IT IS NOT SO!"
Vermont has had option for years.
Kully 80 per cent of the population
live onder prohibition by local vote.
The vote of March last was a vote to
remain under that regime.—The Union
