Now and then, fin we walked down
the elope aiuon# the scattered tree*
we heard the low kr-kruuip of distant
guns which luid come to my ear* be*
I fore dawn, writes William Beebe la
Aliunde Month!/. It wau a little more
distinct and sometimes double; kruw*
kr-krump, hut even now a big frog at
the bottom of tho hill would have
been more effective.
But >'11 other thoughts slipped away
dm a pew sound oroF.e In the darkness,
a Hound which held for mo n thrill, as
vital ttH the hint of dlxtant battle, and
Incomparably more alluring. It rose
slwwly, a rich, mellow, undulation
which stirred every fiber, and then
quavered, descended, and broke oft.
Wo stood motionless, llHtertlng with
all our ears, nnd again It came, un
mistakably. from the depth^ of the
misty woods.
My compunlon smiled at me. We

believe my eara, th<vt here In the heart
of France, within aound of the guns
at the front, I had heard the voice of
a wild wolf. The peasants had, report
ed wohrea at several places, the cold
and pinch of hunger drlvlilg them from
distant fastnesses where their race
was making Its last stand. And
now they had become bolder, finding
little to oppose them In thl\ depleted
country.
Lacking accurate knowledge, I had
always assumed that In EUorpe, in

drops given regularly every two hours
until the temperature has dropped to

"Olve that girl the advantage* of

"If I wore younger I'd not he encour
aging you."
A young girl passing through the
corridor stifled the cry which roe* to
her llpH as she hoard the remarks
of tho two men.
She hurriedly^ entered her room, and,
throwing heraelf on tb# bed, broke
Into sobs. vn'r-itX;
Miss Boynton (ber hostess) bad
vlted her, and other guests, to spend
the week end at ber beautiful country
residence.
Ah she lay there, a plan suddenly
formed in her mind; and hastily rift
ing and4mthlng ber ayes, she crossed
the hall ami knocked at the door.
"Come In," called a melodious voice.
"Do sit down* I want to chat with
you." Then as she noticed the girl's
red Hps. ? "Why, Delia, what's the
trouble?"
As Delia confided her plan, the girl
smiled and nodded from time to time.
'"Just you wait I" cried Beatrice
Long. "We'll made them take notice,"
and she gave Delia a big hug. Then
they settled down to discuss the great
secret
The girls were re ry busy the next
few days, planning for the masquerade
ball, which the hostess was giving to
close ber entertainment,
At seven o'clock that evening Delia
entered Beatrice's room, and seated
herself In a chair (placed for. bar) in
front of tho dressing table.
Beatrice first pulletf the lacs cap
from ber friend's head, revealing a
mass of beautiful golden curls. This
she piled up ob the furl's head; then
catching up a lovely pink gown, she
passed It to her and told ber toliiurry
into It.
Delia took frem a box a pair of
pink satin slippers, and silk stockings,
and putting them on, stood up "for her
friend's Inspection.
"My dear!" exclaimed Beatrice. "No
one would ever know you," and she
turned tho girl to the mirror.
"I'll do," she laughed, as, a rosy
flush spread over her face.
. "Do !" Beatrice snapped. "If every
one doesn't p renounce you the belle
of the ball I'll miss my guess."
She then picked up a mask and plac
ing It over the girl's face, gave her
a push saying: "Now, run along."
Meanwhile Delia had reached the
ballroom and was Immediately claimed
for the first dance, which was then
.about to commence.
As she whirled about, her eyes fell
on a familiar figure.
"Who Is that stunning-looklng girl
with Jack Morrill V*. masked Fred Os
borne of a youth standing near.
* "Don't know," was the answer.' "She
Is a beauty. But One can't recognize
any of the girls In these confounded
things they're wearing."
"Aren't you masking?" Beatrice was
asked as she appeared.
"No," she answered. "I must be
away in a short while.'*
Delia was In her second dance, when
n young man entered ttie room. He
was rather effeminate, perhaps, but" de
cidedly good-looking. - Wandering about
ho at length came up to Fred
Osborne.
"By Jove 1 ^hat a beautiful girl J"
he ejaculated. "Can you tell me who
she is?" - ? -
"I couldn't," said Fred.
In some way the stranger so maneu
vered that Fred obtained only the last
two dances. v
By this time his anger had reached'
the boiling point; but to all questions
regarding the young man, Delia an
swered by a light laugh.
At II o'clock came the call to un
mask; as Delia drew hers from her
face, Fred looked at her In astonish
ment.
"Why! It's little Delia," he cried.
"Yes, little Delia," she returned* "But
do look who Is claiming your atten
tion."
Fred turned nnd confronted the
stranger, who bad so puzzled him.
Then, as his eyes rested on the face for
a moment a hearty laugh broke from
his lips.
"Well, Miss Lang," he cried, "that
was one great Joke on me."
Someone then spoke to Beatrice,. and
Fred drew Delia out to the beautiful
garden*. I
There, in (he lovely moonlight, he
asked her to he his wife.
"I?ut," th?> pirl followed hif? ques'lon
by another, "do you forKet a certain
conversation you held n short while

I-Yed thought for r moment, then
sold: 'Tnu can't mean the day Stew

"Th::t Ih just what I mean." said
De la.

Means of en forcing prohibition after
July 1 Hi* under consideration by of
ficials of the l>epar.Urteut of Justice aud
luUirual Revenue bureau* but atepa to
create m special enforcement agency will
not be taken until Congress has bad
time to Act on pending legislation giv
ing thitt function to the revenue bureau.
Thtft bureau uow has abouf 000 agenta
who could be assigned to liquor viola
tion detection, including 300 now en<
gtfed part of the time in running. down
illicit liquor distillers.
OUicialH believe, however," that this
force would have to be e.ularged by sev
eral times to Effectually enforce nation"
wide prohibition. The Department of
JuKtice also stands ready to assign mauy
of Its secret ageuta to prohibition en
forcement, if this is deemed uecessary.
Oiliritti* say that the fact that the
prohibition measure is a federal act
might be interpreted in some'state* which
never have had a referendum on pro
hibition as throwiug the burden of en
forcement on federal officers.
It is anticipated that In the early
part of the prohibition period more vio
lation will be attempted through the
Helling of liquor made before prohibition
became effective than through the clan
destine manufacture of whiskey. Boot
legglug muwt be dealt with mainly by
local authorities, and federal agenta prob
ably will devote proportionately more at
tention to moonsbining.
, , Revenue agents say there already are
indications of preparations -for approach
of the dry era among those who pro
pose to manufacture liquor illegally af
' ter July 1. Not only in the mountains
\of the South, but ixv large cities small
stills bhve been found recently. Own
er* of some of these are said to have
admitted their intention of putting them
in operation after pninibition becomes
[ effective. : . '
Cotton n Curse to The South.
Hi chard H. Edmonds, Editor of The
Manufacturer*' Itecord has this to say
about cotton as a curse to the South :
"I have no hesitation in saying that
it would have been infinitely better for
the South if it had ncv.er raised a bale
of cotton. This, the most royal crop
r*ver; given by Providence to mankind,
ha* been n curse to th<> South. Jt fas
r ? C
toned slavery around the neck^of the
Xoxith, and out of this came a condi
tion which resulted in the civil war. It
lias caused the South to think in terms,
of 'cotton, to 1?ase its religious and edu
cational activities on cotton, and to
raise cotton merely for the purpose of
buying food from othef sections. At
times it hag .looked as though we of
the South have cotton bolls for brains
and a cotton string for a backbone be
cause we have permittee! the rest of
the world to absolutely dominate, the cot
ton trade and hold the" South in slavery
hp low-priced cotton." |

millions upon millions of dollars to tfce

Better Express Service.
The public in general usually arc too
prone to Censure the employee* of the
Express Company for carelessness and
noor service. The object of this article
Is not to exonerate the officials or ein
pl<tyees of the Express from their share
of blame for the poor service that we
have been getting, but simply to state a
few facts well worthy the attention of
the shipping public and may help, to get
better service. We date say that half
the trouble in getting such poor service
is caused by inattention to just two sim
ple requirements,* "Good packing ? Good
marking" ? only four words, but what a
volume they speak. If we hope ? to gfct
good service, wo must have "good pack
ing ? good plain marking.** That would
?ive right smarting, which means that, a
shipment started' rights half way there.
If shippers would be more careful along
this line there would be less complaint of !
poor service and would be a long step '
toward getting better nn<T mqj-e efficient
service,
. . ? ' ~C":
The Express Company has inaugurated
a campaign among the employees for
better service and if shippers would only
bear In mind the Importance of the above
suggestion^ they would go a long way in
helping to bring about this better ser
