"Yes, yes, ni.v dear?I must see tlio place." declared John K. Dale, hoarsely whispering?"let's go out theie." There was never any disobeying him when he was determined, and lie was determined now. It is strange, that dread human tiling that drew him? Kiizaheth turned and started out the snowy crest of ih< mountain, wending her way here and there between clumps of snow-heavy laurel and ivy and under snow-heavy pines.

If dead ! David Morelaud himself had arisen ( from the tomh and uttered It, it would j not have struck John K. Dal5 with I greater force. He grew weak, as though with a fatal sickness. He sank to his knees in the snow, and his iron- J gray head fell forward to his breast. Klizahetli Littleton! knelt in the snow 1 beside him. She tried to find comforting words, for she loved him and was sorry for him, but no words would come. There was a slight sound, the muffled breaking of a dry twig in the J i |I.ik another step forward and leveled the weapon across the palings.

"Shoot ami even tip the score," he said bravely, and I;is head was high. "According to your code, it is just. And I'll he able i" forget at last, at last. So ' shoot and settle the account." Morclaud winced perceptibly. The big, crooked linger came way from the hair-tine trigger, lie had never expect- 1 ed to hear the man whom lie knew as j a John K.

Banner Dry State.?South Carolina, j according- to R. y. Merrick, of Green- ^ ville, is one of the banner states of j the union when it comes to bone dry prohibition enforcement. Merrick reports that there is cooperation not only among all officials, state and federal, from the governor down, but the public generally is backing the officials. Merrick says 30 years of prohibition in South Carolina has convinced the courts that laxity is poor policy, and now South Carolina judges assess offenders all the law will permit. Convictions average 90 per cent. Scuth Carolina newspapers hare been a helpful factor, hotels do net permit drinking parties, and the movies run no icels of drinking scenes illicit distilling, however, continues, but, with a force of only 10 men the South Carolina prohibition director suppressed 75 stills the past month.
