She is fighting for her soul. The enemy is morphine Four short years ago the drug entered into the girl's life in the guise of a friend in Detroit, Mich., prescribed it to ease pain Herself a trained nurse, she and action of the drug; knew, too, the dargers of its continued use Her her.

He added his strength to hers Morphine attacks stealthily in many ways. It had her body; it would have her soul.. She was alert and on her guard against this danger. Times without number she checked ignoble impulses—to lie, to cheat, to steal, to cut adr'ft from society and forget her shame in mad de- bauchery. These impulses terrified her. It_ was inevitable that she would meet other who stand together but who hate-the world, She te worse than death “It gave me courage,” she The battle raged with char four.

It was the call of woman to sister-woman “Cynthia Grey” ld.” it was Jesire t I could still be of some use in the yw it was five grains a day Now But the little, insistent voices says, ing whose Dr I of sought the advice of Dr. Stevenson Smith of the university, chological researches have put himin the fore-rank of students of that science. | promised to treat the girl, Before she could be brought to him, however, her fiance word that she had been arrested. She had been found helpless under the influenc* drug and sent to the hospital. After two weeks she was she obtained by stealth her regular which was smuggled in to her under the noses of the nurses.

And yet again: “There are seven drug stores in Seattle where morphine is sold without prescription and without question. I do not know if the police know these places, but every ‘fiend’ knows them.” Always there is in her heart the fear that some day she will succumb to the perverting in- fluence of the drug. She has seen others go down—down. The clean thought, the honest emo- tion, the worthy impulse, the nice line between right and wrong, the high ideal-—these are blotted out, and in their stead come low cunning, base desire and every bad emotion. The issue is in doubt. The battleground is a frail woman's body. Can it endure? But the consciousness that she is not alone, that a lover and a friend are always near, has given her the strength of ten The man says: “Have patience ard courage. We are winning.” A new light comes to the girl's sombre eyes, a hint of color to her sallow cheeks. a spirit of exaltation she answers: “I have seen the depths.
