TORONTO Hounds and the Quarry ereerie By ALEX. S. BRISCOE 1 (Copyright.) From the bend of the creek crone the hay of a hound—a long, deep note that held n certain .quality elf menace, ilf lust fur the kill. it rolled hack from the eiuffs beyond where the slag- gish Writcendn writhed rtci'0SS the tim- bered b nftoms. Spade" Garvey, blundering along the winding shore of the stream, paused and listened. Again came the 1110110w voice of the hound, and it was echoed by the quick- er, keener yapping nf'another dog, A shrill yell of encouragement lyes heard In the edge of the woods, and Garvey stiffened. Now be understood! They were after hire with bloodhounds. Be crashed through the underbrush, falling over logs and bunging into trees as be lied. He knew nothing of the woods either by 'tiny or night, and realized he mast follow the creek or lose his way. Garvey had been giventhe title of the "Spade Burglar" by Shen, chief of the Bertillon department et St. Louis, because of his use of that article, in various burglaries charged to him in that city. The thin edge clan be pushed under a window -sash and the leverage provid- ed by the long handle makes it easy to break a window -catch. Besides, one usually can be found about the stable or yard of a residence, and this makes it unnecessary to car- ry a jimmy—an article which is hard to explain when found in one's posses- sion. In a big city Garvey was at home and could hide himself with ease when hunted ; but in the country he was out of his element. Unusual activity on the part of the police and a shortage of • fuhds had driven him to seek new fields of en- deavor a few days before, and a coun- try post office hed provided an oppor- tunity for the exercise of his talents. But he had been unfortunate. The safe had been opened with the facility with which the top is stripped from a tin of sardines, and the proceeds had been gratifyingly large. It was the town marshal who had caused the trou- ble. 'I.'his official now lay with n bullet In his shoulder, and Garvey was trying to make his way on foot to safety, i,'or two hours be had stnnlbied nlnng, following the sinuous course ne Wnkenda creek; then had Come the baying of dogs.

Blood chipped from the alder hound's a:ose, and the man's quiet eyes flamed, There are persons whose dogs it Is not safe to kick around. "Get 'em, boy!" he commanded. "Go after him!" The hound snarled—a rumbling sound of anger that came' from deep within his broad chest. Quickly he snuffled his way across the log-jonb and bounded to the top of the bank. Then he gave tongue. It was the tierce, joyous hay of a dog running with the scent Trot in his nostrils. Burkett followed him with the negro nt his heels, They were out of sight when Kelsoe toiled across the creek with the lan- tern. • For a quarter of a mile the chase ted through the timber, the hound ne- casionally giving tongue. The animal MIS but a short distance behind Gar- vey; but with the wisdom of an old hound be was keeping out of pencil of the man who had struck him. It was In a bend or the creek that t.nrvey was cornered. Crouching be- hind a tree, revolver held ready. he awaited •the coming of itis pursuers. Old 13n11 scented the me end stopped. Throlving up his head, he gave the tree hark—the short, choppy notes that tell the hunter the quarry has been treed or run to earth. Infuriated, Garvey threw up the pis- tol and fired. There was a series of sharp yelps asp Old Bull, a shoulder seared by a bul- let, scurried bark -toward lureett snit Limber. The gentle Elln puttered out of the darkness and whined In sympa- thy as the old clog licked the wound. Garvey heard the rustle of leaves, saw two figures dodging forward be- tween the trees. Oue now was only a Pew yards away. J. tall man hurled himself forward as fire spurted from the weapon, and Garvey jumped aside to avoid the rush, again pulling the trigger of the revolver. Ten paces away the negro whirled ap the light ax and threw. The head struck Garvey in the neck and he went down, half across the still form of Burkett. Kelsoe reached the scene as the ne- gro recovered the ax and swung it above the unconscious burglar. "Don't!" he called. Lianber hesitated, the weapon still poised. "But he's done killed Massa Bur- kett,'i he argued, "Don't!" commanded Kelsoe, grasp - Ing -the handle. For a moment they stood tense, then the taller of the two figures on the ground stirred and groaned. The negro let go or the ax and dropped to his knees. There were joy and relief and many ether things In his cry as he lifted Rurkett's tread. Limber started n tire while Kelsoe, with the ax and pistol, stood over Ger- vey, Burkett, who hnd recovered quickly, the bullet merely having crensetl his skull, leaned back'agniest n tree end knotted a hundkerchlef about his head.

When the blood becomes impure, it is only natural that boils, pimples, or some other indication of bad blood should break out of the system. Ointment and salves will do you no good. You must get at the seat of the trouble by using a good internal blood purifying remedy such as that grand old medicine, Burdock Blood Bitters. This preparation has been on the market for the past 40 years, and is acknowledged by all who have ever used it to be the best blood cleansing remedy. Mr. Emerson G. Goodwin, Cambridge N.B., writes:—'.'Fornearly two years I suffered from boils and pimplee on my face and neck, and nearly all of my body was covered with the pimples. I tried most everything, but got no relief. One day a friend advised me to try Burdock Blood Bitters and after using three bottles the pimples and bode had all left me, and there le no sign of them returning. I can strongly recommend B. B.

Ares► you in Savor of the repeal of The Ontario Temperance Act ? o 1p i�b li�+ O3 The repeal of The Ontario Temperance Act does not mean a return to the general sale of spirituous liquors, as the Premier, in his speech of April 7th, said: "Now, practically no one suggests a return to old conditions. The distillers in a recent manifesto say that they themselves are opposed to it. Many hotel -keepers say they are opposed to it. The brewers say they are opposed to it. Honour- able gentlemen in the House and people out of the House, who are opposed to the present Act, say they arc equally opposed to the old order. The labor men who ask for stronger beer, say they don't want the sale of hard liquor." The Premier and the Government, realizing this, would not be parties to a continuance of the gen- eral sale of spirits as under the old license system, but would amend the License Act in accord with public sentiment. This would be in keeping with the policy of the Provincial Governments of the past fourteen years, which have from time to time amended the License Act to conform to the wishes of the people. To vote "Yes" to question number one would enable the Government to pro- vide for the sale of beer and light wine in the hotels, and beer and spirits in Government stores for home consumption, The Citizens' Liberty League does not want a return to the conditions under the old License Act and the sale of liquor over the bar. It does ask, however, for the general,sale of beer 2.51'' alcohol by weight (non -intoxicating) and light wines, and that the Government should only allow the sale of heavier beers and liquors through agencies established and maintained under Government super- vision and control. It is, therefore, necessary that question one should be answered "Yes," repeal- ing The Ontario Temperance Act and making it possible for the Government to enact a new temperance measure in accord with the expressed will of the people. By voting "Yes" on question number one you will be in agreement with Premier Hearst when he said: "Idany good and conscientious citizens, as good and conscientious as there are in the Pro- vince, do not approve of the Act as it stands today." Vote "Yes" on question number one and repeal the unsatisfactory Ontario Temperance Act, J9 2. /°!>'cu y. ma la Inver cif the saki of light boor containing not more then 2.51 /10 % f I rloebba,l 'wololet ss'Ciaaessl'a through Government agyoascicae, cased amendments to Tiro Ont:ata'cta Temperance: Ant to permit such sale ?

Vote "Ven" on question number three. There can be little doubt that the majority of people will vote "Yes" on this question. There is a demand for a beer of good flavor and body that is non - intoxicating, and the public want to obtain it by the glass as well as by the bottle. A beer of 2.51 alcohol by weight, no matter in what quantities consumed, is absolutely non - intoxicating. In European countries beer of this strength is sold generally without license and without excise duty. In voting "Yes" on questions two and three you can be assured that no one can become intoxicated by beer of this strength. t77 4. Ares you In favor of the sale of spirituous end malt liquors through Govern. moist agencies, and arnondments to The Ontario Temperance Act to permit such shale ? Vote "Yes" on question number four, which provides for the sale of all liquors for home consump. tion from Government stores tinder such regulations as the Government may deem it wise to adopt. The public will be able to purchase from these stores without procuring a doctor's certificate. v ;1 ce, eeer Study the Referendum Ballot; if there is any point not clear, call or write the Secretary of the League at Com- mittee Headquarters. It is to your interest that you vote wisely and intelligently. And if you are a lover of liberty and an advocate of true temperance, you will vote "YES" on all questions on the Referendum Ballot, The Citizens' Liberty League is not in favor of the sale of spirits over the bar as under the old License Law. It is, however, in favor of the general sale of non -intoxicating beer of 2.11% alcohol by weight and light wines, and the sale of liquor for home consumption through Government stores under such -restrictions as the Government may, deem wise to adopt, Remember—every voter must tote on every question, or his ballot will be spoiled.
