DARLING’S Third Street Corvallis. P A T IE N C E Ey THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dacn of Man, Univeriily of lllinoia. I HAVE recent Ju.st read tin account of a speech of Oovcrnor Brews ter of Maine with reference to the development of prohibition In III* stole, which, according to the state ment quoted. It took 25 years to per feet. For years after the prohibition act was passed, the situation seemed hopeless. The sentiment in the state was almost equally divided; officers were elected who. If not pledged to Ignore the law, nt Itxist made It clear tluii they would do so. Aud yet con stantly the sentiment grew In favor of enforcement, ofllclnls in time be came more strict, and ultimately pro hibition became u fact; and today I he law Is rigidly enforced ns Governor Ilrewster Is convinced It will In due time.

When you saw one you were likely to see the other, talk ing always and smoking—always smoking. Miller once explained to me the oasis of their friendship—"something to argue about,” he said, “and a com mon bad habit, that Is at the founda tion of many close friendship».'' It made ma think. They argued about everything—religion, literature, education, polities—everything but the best sort of tobacco, and on this point they were quite agreed. While they argued they smoked, and the ar gument gave them excuse for further indulging In the bad habit of smoking Associations grow dull if there Is nothing to stir conversation, and noth ing so stirs conversation as argument, and nothing else, perhaps, is so futile. An argument Is never ended; no one wag ever really convinced by argu ment unless he wanted to be con vinced, and who really wants to be convinced?

But she told her self that she had no right to think of Robert; he was probably married end settled down long before now In that far-off land where his company had sent him. But, always as Christmas ap proached she found herself thinking of him and picturing the home that might have been theirs together. Aunt Mabel had been dead two years now, end since her death Laura had felt v cry much alone In the world, In spite of many friends. But every year at Christmas time her cousin Vera, a widow of limited means, came to spend the holidays with her, aud always at this time she gave a party for the young people. And lest any of them might be thwarted of love and a proposal, ns she had been, she saw to It that plenty of mistletoe was In evidence. 8be looked very beautiful now as she welcomed her guests to her an nual party. She was one whom years give new and added charm In recom pense for the rosy flush of youth that they steal, and as she walked to the door to answer a new peal of the hell, she would have attracted atten tion anywhere. Opening the heavy door she looked without. A little cry sprang to her lips, for there she saw Robert Bar rett. A rush of Joy, of wonder, cf delight, flooded her whole being. Ho had come—he still loved her—else, why would he be here? Steadying herself by the doorway she hade him welcome, and ns she recovered from the sudden rush of joy at seeing him again, her voice grew cool and composed as she as sured herself that his coming meant nothing more than a friendly visit— that even should he be still unwed, It would be some one younger, fairer than she that he would now seek. He seemed rather 111 at ease, and he blundered and stammered so when he spoke, that his voice was alrnort drowned In the sounds of gay laugh ter and music that came from be yond. Then, suddenly, without warn ing, his arms reached out and he clasped Laura close and she felt his kisses upon her lips.
