OHIOANS BOAST WETTEST TOWN Llnndale Is 40 Per Cent Bootleggers, Claim. Bv United Prett CLEVELAND. Sept. 21.—The village of Llnndale, on the outskirts of Cleveland, is Just atiout.the wettest place in the United States, according to Its inarshal, who asserts the place has a population composed of 40 per cent bootleggers. The marshal, ‘‘Battling Tom” O’Malia, who was thrust into his own Jail recently on charges of robbery, further asserts that his estimate is extremely conservative and that "almost every other person in the place sells something or other." The village has a population of 543. Linndale came into prominence in national news reports a few years ago when the Big Four Railroad complained to the county prosecutor’s office that it was forced to run Its trains at fifteen miles an hour through the village in order to keep from running over the intoxicated. One of the chief grievances of the railroad at the time was that it was forced to make additions to the crews of trains running through the village in order that a man could be posted on the cowcatcher of the engine to look ahead for “drunks.” It was also alleged that several inebriated persons were found sleeping on the track, causing trains to be delayed. The flow of liquor in Linndale was kept at a minimum for a time with the addition of county officers to the village police force, but recently the trouble has broken out anew. 2 KILLED AT CROSSING Bv Timet Special GARY, Ind., Sept. 21.—Death of two Negroes at a South Shore railroad crossing here where a truck on which they were riding was struc’' by a train, lias resulted in detentk.i of Mike Stempock, crossing watchman.

The SNOB

SYNOPSIS NANCY was a GAOB—and at one time one of her uncles had been Oovernor of Virginia. What If she did live beyond the railroad track*? She wa* a 6lueblood, and If RAYMOND HOLLANPB- - member of one of the most exclusive families In town, chose to Ignore her after he had attempted to kiss her when boat riding the night before he did not deserve a second thought. But he did get a second thought, also a third and fourth, and when Nancy visit* her grandmother In Ole Vlrglnny and at;nds a party she Is surprised to find Raymond one of the guests. Back home Raymond evinces new Interest In Nancy, which is terminated only by tho advent of his college term. Shortly after this Nancy meets ERIC NELSON, new manager of the Oas and Electric Company, at Edith Harcourt’s, a school chum and duughter of the town's richest man. Nancy is strangely attracted to him. They fall In love, but Nancy's mother evinces bitter opposition.

CHAPTER S3. When Eric had gbne Nancy went to the window and looked out upon the starlit night. She was sure no other girl in the world could be so happy. Eric loved her. They were engaged. “I want to be married," he had urged with an Impatience which thrilled her. “I’m making a pretty fair salary. Why can’t we be married right away?” Nancy felt she should refuse if only on the ground of maidenly modesty. But how could she when at heart she agreed with every argument he advanced? They decided on a May wedding. “What about your mother?” Eric had asked, anxiously. “Do you think she’ll agree?” “I can talk Mother into anything,” Nancy said, confidently. “But if I con’t we’ll run away. NOTHING can keep me from marrying you.” She Intended to present her case to Amanda in the morning. Nothing to be gained by waiting, and she wasn’t afraid....

As she turned off the light she was surprised to hear a subdued sound from the kitchen. It was after midnight. She supposed her mother and father had retired long ago. But when she cautiously opened the door she saw Amanda, seated at the table, shaken with sobs. “Oh, Mother, why do you act like this? Anyone would think I had done something disgraceful.” “You haven’t any respect for me, Nancy. Neither has he to come here after what I told him.” “What do you expect us to domeet each other on the street somewhere?” Amanda’s eyes blazed. “You’re going to Insist on seeing him, are you? Your mother’s advice means nothing to you?” Nancy sat down, determined to be patient. “There’s nothing the matter with Eric. You’re Just prejudiced against him because you expected me to marry Raymond." "He ain’t your class,” wailed Amanda. "Just because he Isn’t a millionaire Li no sign he’s not a gentleman, mother. I haven’t any money, either.” “t know a gentleman when I see one," Amanda asserted, stoutly. “Oh, Lord, to think that this should happen to me.” "Mother!” Nancy said, sternly. "You’re getting all worked up over nothing I It’s ridiculous, mother,

and it isn’t going to do the least bit of good, because Eric and I are going to be married. She would never forget the sickening shocked look which swept Amanda’s face. “Oh, Nancy, you don’t mean it! You’re Joking. You’re trying to tease me because I didn’t want you to go with him. Listen, dearie, you can see him sometimes. I’m going to be reasonable. You can’t mean you’re going to marry him” . . . "I mean Just that!” Nancy’s lips were set firmly. There were fire and determination in her eyes. And her mother knew that nothing she could say would influence her. She began to moan and rock back and forth In her chair. Nancy was frightened, but she was more disgusted. She could see no reason for “making a scene like this.” As she s|ood wondering how to pacify her, the .door to the back bedroom opened and Silas Gage, powerful in his night shirt, roared: “What’s the matter out here?” “Tell him. Mother.” “What’s the use?” Amanda sobbed. “He’ll be against me, too. He’s always against me.” “What is it? What have you done, Nancy?” She faced him proudly. "I’m going to marry Eric Nelson, father. And mother doesn’t approve.” She could not understand the conflicting motions which raced across his face. Pride in his daughter’s independence, respect for her Judgment, grief at losing her. . . . all these perhaps! It was a full moment before he replied, with a dignity that was foreign to her idea of him. “Be sure he’s what you want, my girl," “I am sure.” “Then go ahead.” He had ignored the pathetic figure in the kitchen chair. But now he said, not unkindly, “Come on to bed, Mandy. No use crying about

“Os course not. You don’t care. It’s nothing to you.” "I didn’t listen to my folks when I wanted to marry you, did I?" “No. Sometimes I wish you had.” “Well, you’ll have lots of time to worry over this. They aren’t going to be married tomorrow. . . . Nancy was amazed to see him pat her mother on the shoulder. Poor thing! It was too bad. No doubt, from her point of view.... Suddenly the girl ran to the disconsolate wom•n and cried, “-Darling, I’m /wry to disappoint you. But, don’t you see? I CAN’T give him up.” “You’re going to be sorry if you don’t,” Amanda insisted. Nancy lay awake for hours. She could not understand why her mother should object to Eric so violently. Os course, she had cherished the thought of her daughter marrying into the Hollandsbee family. Nancy knew her mother was the victim of intuitions. She was apt to have "hunches” about things, and evidently she was indulging in one nn. x some reason Amanda could ni have explained to herself she considered Eric a social nonentity. “Anyone would think,” thought Nancy, “that I wanted to marry the icc man.” The idea amused her. As If she herself were not too particular to marry “outside.” Eric was manager of the Gas and Electric Company. Quite a good position! All the younger set had seemed willing to accept him. Edith Harcourt’s okeh would have been sufficient if they had not liked him for himself, which they did. Nancy’s distress over her mother’s unreasonable attitude marred her happiness. She couldn't dream of Eric as she desired, with her mother’s reproaches ringing in her ears. “It’s Just a shame," she sighed. "Mother has done a lot for me.” But, then, wasn’t that what mothers were for? She recalled Eric’s words in speaking of his mother:

“Poor mother, she’s had a hard time.” What had he bee* so insistent on explaining before he would ask her to marry him? The fire burning in his eyes had seemed more defensive than passionate. He had said he didn’t want her to love him blindly. He preferred that she marry him with her eyes open to his defects. ‘Silly," smiledSNancy. “I couldn’t love him if I had to pick hlpi to pieces.” She drifted to sleep, -confident of the strength of her devotion, blissfully unconscious of the cruel test to which It soon was to be submitted.
