his words sounded forced.
The old ear made good speed over the
road, rearing past sleeping terms and
over thunderous wooden bridges.
They shot from hilltope into dank lit-
tle mist-filled hollows, where the froks
croaked, and out again into long stretch-
es of level white road, where the car
gathered speed and noise.
When the first scattered houses of
the town were in sight, Shea drew ths
esr to a stop and turned to face Judith.
“What'll we do with him?” he asked.
“Take kim to the frat house?"
Judith considered for a moment. "Tee,"
she said. “We’ll take him komo first
and then we must hurry to College read.
It is past one o'clock."
The houses of fraternity row were all
quiet and dark as they raced down the
street. In front of the Sigma Psi hous
Shea drew up without directions from
Judith. He had evidently been there
before. She glanced wonderingly at the
man, but did not question him. He
climbed out of the ear ard began the
arduous task of awakening Eric.
“Hi, there, Waters, come to. “You’re
home. Wake up!" Eric's head only
wagged pathetically as Shea shook kim
and his limbs remained limp. Judith
turned awsy from the sight with a
grimance of disgust.
“Here he comes,” said Shea, as the
inert body stiffened at lest and slipped
from the running board to the sidewalk.
He put an arm under Eric’s and started
up the walk with him.
Judith waited impatiently. Finally
the front door of the house opened and
she saw someone taking Erie eat of
Shea’s arms. The man turned back to-
ward the car.
"Fine little jag," he commented as he
started the car again. “Never saw Waters
go under like that before."
Judith maintained silence. She was

LEGISLATIVE AND PUBLIC
DUTY
It is frequently said that we
have periodical legislative in-
vestigations of the prison sys-
tem in Texas that uncover all
kinds of abuses, but that noth-
ing is done about it.
The people of Texas will
have the opportunity to “do
something about it” on Novem-
ber 2, when an amendment to
the Constitution providing for
a change in our system of pris-
on control and management
will be voted on.
If this amendment fails, it
will be equivalent to an expres-
sion of approval of,.or at least
indifference to our present sys-
ten.
The investigations of the pris-
on system in recent years have
all resulted in the conclusion
that the present form of control
and management is one of the
chief things that is wrong.
The legislature is powerless
to change that. It Pan only give
the people an opportunity to
change it, and that is why this
amendment has been submit-
ted.
The legislature has done its
duty, and it is now up to the
citizens of Texas to do their
duty by adopting this amend-
ment
• THE LIGHT THAT WINS
Happiness and success can
be very close to misfortune. A
trip just around the corner may
reveal new worlds.
Twelve years ago Joseph A.
Saunders, an engineer on the
Grand Trunk railroad, was
blinded in one eye in a crash
after his train had run into an
open switch. Nor was that the
first cruel prank that fate play-
ed on him. As a boy, 38 years
ago in Vancouver, B. C., he lost
both parents in an automobile
accident.
c Now he and his wife have a
* contract promising them $300,-
000. Before them, clear to the
horizon, stretches a future as
bright as the past has been,
dark.
The misfortunes suffered by
Saunders started him to think-
ing up a way to prevent train
disasters. He recently produced
an electric safety device. A
email lever resting against a
wheel of the locomotive detects
by low voltage wires any
broken rail, washout, open
switch or landslide ahead.
Saunders is to receive $1,000
monthly as president of a com-
pany manufacturing the inven-
tion. He accepted $300,000 for
partial rights to its use.
Out of the very ashes of his
calamity burst the flame of
fortune.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
ERIC WATERS, young student
radical, sad DR. PETER DORN, as-
tronomy professor, are rivals for
the favor of JUDITH MARTIN, who
is teaching her first year la Pendle-
ton university.
MYRA ALDRICH, la love with
Eric, trice to prejudice Dora against
Judith by hinting of the night
which Judith spent in a cabin,
while Eric walked back to town for
his car, after a raid in which Eric
and Judith escaped from the road-
bowse in which they were dining.
Erie takes Judith to dinner at his
fraternity house, and afterwards on
• moonlight picnic with EVE GER-
HART, fascinating town widow,
WILL WETHEREL, student poesur,
and others.
Angered by Wetherel’s attentions
to Judith, Eric wanders off from the
party. Eve Gerhart and the rest
start down from the bluff, eaUiag
to Judith and Erie to follow.
A rough-looking man steps from
between the trees. “Your friend
Waters la drunk under a tree back
there,” he says.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER XIV.
A cloud passed over the moon and
darkness closed them in. Judith stood
for one frozen minute on the brink of
the cliff.
At last the men spoke. “I’m Kitty
Shea. Guess you didn't see me in the
party tonight. But 1 came along to
bring the liuor. I’m always a welcome
visitor, I am. Say, we’ll have to get
that young fool home somehow. Can
you help me drag him down the hill?
I've got a bus waiting at the foot of
it.”
Judith stirred. “I’ll call the others-
to help."
Shea laughed unpleasantly. “All right.
But they're out of earshot now.”
It was probably true, for Eve sad ths
others must be far ahead. Judith pull-
ed herself together. “If you'll try to
rouse him I'll wait for you here,” she
said, more steadily.
Shea chuckled. “Thought maybe you’d
have to kelp me get him up from that
tree trunk he’s twinged around.” But
when she made to move to accompany
him into the wood he trudged off alone.
Judith ran to the fire, which was wink-
ing out.
The path which Eve's party had taken
was quite black and still. There was
nothing to do but stand waiting for that
ominous black jowl and vulgar necktie
to emerge from the trees.
After a time shuffling footsteps among
ths trees warned of his return, and she
could dimly discern his figure, with Erie
hanging limply upon his srm. "Come
along,” he said to her, and net out on
the path leading away from the cliff.
Judith obeyed silently.
They were forced to walk slowly, for
Erie was a dead weight upon Shea, drag-
ging his feet and taking a step only oc-
casionally. Judith walked close behind,
too nervous to speak.
At length they came out into the big
pasture that lay nest tbs Granville road.
Here and there knots of dwarf trees
stood out against the sky, which was now
radiant with moonlight. Shea laid his
burden down and straightened his
shoulders, “God!” he exclaimed.
“Wouldn't think he wss so hevsy."
Judith spoke up anxiously. “Do you
think you can curry him the rest of the
way ?"
“Sure thing. But I've got to rest a
minute." He sat down beside Erie’s,
recumbent figure. “Look here, kid, you
don’t seem to realize how lucky for you
it was thst I stayed behind to help
you home with him. What’d you hsve
done out there alone with him snorin’
: drunk?"
"Perhaps he wouldn’t have been drunk
if we’d been there alone,” she said with
emphasis.
Shea was unruffled by the thrust. Ho

sltion, end Judith felt obliged to help.
Together they brought the unconscious
man to a position in which he could be
dragged on toward the road. They set
off across the pasture, skirting the dwarf
trees and making for the place where
the road should be. At last they could
see the moonlight glimmering on a
stretch of white road beyond a fence.
Judith breathed a sigh of relief and
began to walk more rapidly. “Hi, there,”
called Shea. “What’s the hurry! You
can't go till I get there to drive the car,
yea know.” She fell back again and
walked by his side. She was helpless
to defy him.
The automobile was a battered and
mud-encrusted toering car, minus eur-
talas and two doors. Shea propped

looking up and down the road, but no
headlights were visible.
Shea observed her gaze and smiled
sardonically in ths moonlight.
He began to thrust Eric's feet into the
doorless tonneau. Then he hoisted his
body upon the back seat and propped
the feet against the back of the front
sest. When he had accomplished this,
he turned to Judith. She took a step
toward the back seat, but he laid his
hand on her arm. She gave a little

nificant inflection. "Perhaps not!"

pulled s whisky bottle out of his pocket.
Judith shook her head.
“Can’t we be starting now?” she said. — ----
“It’s getting very late." Shea grunted shrank back,
and rose to his feet. He bod some
trouble in dragging Eric to a standing po- for with a
sitting very straight on the edge of the
seat.
“Damn sissy town this is getting to
be,” mused Shea aloud. “Hear old
Brown means to clean out the place.
Nice sight for the dean’s eyes, one of
his lady teachers takin’ home a drunk,
eh, sister ?” His laugh rang out.
Judith was trembling. “This is my
street," she said. “Please hurry.".
“Huh, must say you’re a sociable lot!"
But he turned into ( ollege road. Judith

and ran up the walk. She could not

felt the shock of the starting but it
was some seconds before she realized
that the man was turning the ear di*
reetly about in the wide read to head
away from town.
“What are you doing ?” she cried. But
something else canoed Shea to pause. A
groan came from Eric’s parted lips and
ho stirred heavily in the bach seat. In
a flash Shea had brought the car back
into line and started for home.
