In License Town. (Desta E. Brown Woods.) (Continued from last week.) "Prohibitory laws along other llneB? Why I suppose so," mused Bert Foster as his head sank back on the soft cushion of his invalid chair. He listened dreamily to the noise in the street below. It grew louder. It was the tramp of a multitude. The people were all moving in one direc tion. Presently he was down among them, carried along by the eager Renovate Your House VALUABLE INFORMATION for the Buyers of SEWING MACHINES QUALITIES TO CONSIDER IN MAKING A PURCHASE, Does it run easy.

Joy bolls were ringing, and at the en trance to the town the mayor stood blandly smiling and bowing a wel come to all. "Welcome! Welcome to License Town!" he said. "What do you mer.n?" Bert in quired. "Is there no prohibition against the selling of liquor here?" "There is no prohibition against anything," he explained. "A pro hibitory law only creates a desire to transgerss that law, so we have no prohibitions. This is License Town." Bert looked about him. On every side were bright, happy faces. The children danced in glee. A woman's merry laugh rang out, and louder, louder the joy bells rang. . Suddenly a dispute arose between two child- Let us sell you new Furniture and take your old goods in part payment. Sell your goods where you can get the most, we pay highest prices.

"Leave me alone!" shouted the child an grily. "I'll do as I please. I'm In License Town." And on the very threshold of License Town a shadow rested on a mother's face. ihen, as Bert watched and waited, She the Creature of his dreams came. More beautiful than ever she looked with the bloom of health on her cheek and the sparkle of love in her eye. Under the Intoxication of the ringing bells, he took her hand and told his love In words of fire. She assured him of her love, but when he spoke of marriage, she turned laughingly away. "We can't marry here. Don't you know that the marriage ceremony is a prohibi tory law? It prohibits 'all others.' There are no marriages In License own. It is quite right, too" she added. "A prohibitory law always creates a desire to break that law. If I were compelled by law to love only you I would probably fall in love at once with some one else!" As she spoke, a low-browed, evil faced man caught her in his arms and pressed his brutal mouth to her rosy lips. Bert started forward in blind rage, but the man laughed boldly. "I'll kiss her if I like! There are no prohibitions in License Town." Then the surging crowd carried both Her and the man on ward. Bert, engaged with his own troubles, had not noticed the changes going on around htm. Now for the first time he noticed that the bells were out of tune, and Instead of the merry, musical chimes were sending forth harsh, discordant notes. The faces around were no longer bright and smiling. The men were coarse and brutalized, while the women were worse, and the children hid in terror at every approaching foot step. t "Stop thief! stop thief!" a woman called out. "He uas stolen my purse!" Bert started to her as sistance, but was shoved to one side by two men In deadly conflict. Then, as they struggled, one drew a knife and plunged it to the heart of his opponent. "Murder! Punish the murderer," Bert shouted to the , mayor, who stood calmly looking on.
