Declares Negro Can Best Worship In Own Church NINE ACCUSED OF

VOLUME II, NUMBER FIFTY-TWO DEATH
REV. AYER MAKES REPLY
Colored people can best worship God in their own churches, not in the white church where their mode of worship might be "cramped" or handicapped.
Replying to a question asked by The Gary American, this was the opinion expressed today by one of Gary's most prominent white ministers.
He is the Rev. Mr. William Ward Ayer, militant pastor of Central Baptist church, 521 Jefferson, an exponent of Bible Christianity, and one of the city's most ardent fundamentalists.
The Gary American asked two questions of Dr. Ayer in a questionnaire the newspaper sent to several prominent white ministers of Gary.
Gives View Frankly
One of these questions was: "Would you discourage the attendance of Negroes at your church? Please give reasons."
The other question was: "Do you think the color line should be drawn in the Christian church? Please give reasons."
Both questions were suggested by the recent action of a white minister in Brooklyn in advising Negroes there to attend their own church.
Here is the reply made by Dr. Ayer.
By Rev. Wm. Ward Ayer
I wish that I might answer your question in the way that you desire and would be helpful, but as you doubtless know, questions are not easily answered and the two which you have asked me certainly cannot be answered with a categorical "yes" or "no" because they involve too much. The first question, for example, about the attendance of Negroes upon the services of the white church would have to be answered in the light of local conditions. In communities where Negroes have their own churches, I would not encourage their regular attendance at the white church, nor would I encourage the attendance of whites at the services of our colored brethren.
This is not because of social reasons primarily, but because it is an (Continued on page 2)
Nagel Displays A Fine Voice in Film
Conrad Nogel, who makes his singing debut in "The Hollywood Revue," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's big musical motion picture extravaganza now playing at the McVickers Theater, is recognized as the possessor of a talking voice without peer in the screen world, but his possibilities as a singer were not discovered until he was found joining in barber shop melodies with Charles King and "Ukelele Ike" Edwards on the rehearsal stage. So now, in addition to appearing as interlocutor in the minstrel Sequence, Nagel sings "You Were Meant For Me" with Anita Page, one of the big hit songs of "The Broadway Melody." The great new sound picture revue is endowed with more than twenty songs, a huge dancing chorus and with a double bill of Broadway headliners and screen stars.

He says it was the same day he bought his Manhattan hat. He got it in the morning, lost it, then went back to buy another but the Manhattan any more.
The night before he had been out with an Oregon girl. Dickie says the broad kept asking: "Oregon to another cabaret when we leave this one?"
He went to Vespers a few days ago. But he didn't like it. He said people vespered so loud, he couldn't hear a thing.

The Boy Friends Tells Another
Dear F. M. D.:
You're a long ways from my kid
sister, Minnie, but it's probably just
as good. She's got two new crosses
on her knife handle. Maybe if you'd
remained here one would mean you
ain't no more.
But that's not what I started out to say. It's about the boy friend again. He told me another story last night. He said he was down in Mexico when suddenly a lion started running toward him from the front. He turned to flee—and saw a bull running to attack from the rear. So he set out hot foot toward the lion. When he got near that animal, he curved and ran off until he neared the forest. There the lion came and was thrown to his death when he stumbled over a tree stump. Then the boy friend says he sat down and rested. I asked him what about the bull that was still after him and he said that didn't matter. He could throw the bull any time.

To Ask For New Trial For Gary 'Hatchet Slayer
Believing him innocent of the crimes for which a Porter county jury found him guilty, attorneys for Ulysses Mack, Gary "hatchet slayer," will file a motion for a new trial Wednesday, it was announced today. Mack, found guilty of three slayings, was sentenced to be electrocuted by Judge Grant Crumpacker in Valpariso circuit court. His attorneys argue that he was forced to make a confession through third degree methods. If motion for a new trial is denied, they plan to appeal the case to the State Supreme court.

POINT TO WORK AT SCHOOL
Washington is Described As a Materialist; Douglas Held as Idealist
By KURIOUS KATIE
The Question: Who do you think
did more for the race — Frederick
Douglas or Booker T. Washington?
THE ANSWERS:
Mr. Dalph Rapier, cleark in post-
office, 2549 Madison:
Booker T. Washington did more for our race. He gave more years which meant better service. He was an educator and he touched more lives, and he also made more friends for his race. Washington was an investigator of the scientific agriculturist demonstrators, who were going through the south teaching and demonstrating scientific farming to the farmers.
Mr. William A. Potter, amusement promoter, 1833 Broadway;
They both were teachers but Booker T. Washington taught the Negroes the economic side of life. He taught them how to get out and get things for themselves, whereas Frederick Douglas' teachings were fall of the theory. A person would have to have money to get what he offered.
When we begin o compare these two men, I think that there is so much difference that it's almost incompatible, because the contributions of both men are entirely different. I think for this reason it's rather difficult to determine just which man did most.
As we all know that Mr. Douglas was a transcendentalist and Mr. Washington was a materialist. With all due respects to both men they deserve to be credited for their contributions. We presently appreciate Mr. Washington's contribution because we are in the process of building an economic foundation. We have as yet to turn in full blast toward the realization of those abstract qualities that are necessary for the realization of a full life, as set forth by Mr. Douglas. My opinion is that these men are incompatible, and therefore, should not be lessened in worth to our group; one against the other.
Mrs. Mary Wheeler, beauty specialist, 1828 Broadway:
I think Booker T. Washington was because he was an educator of the minds and hands of the people. A great many of our people don't have the carrying capacity to teach and do various things, but can do trained labor which is the result of his teachings. They both were great, but the fact that Frederick Douglas was an abolitionist made it possible for Booker T. to conduct the school.
Miss Sadie Lamarr, high school graduate, 1620 Carolina:
I think Booker T. is because he established that institution which is named after him, and that is the best thing he could have done for our people besides the other good things.
Mrs. Leitha Gary, stenographer 22 E. 18th Ave.:
Booker T. was because he established that institution of learning—something which will live always.

The Rev. Mr. Millard's Silence
Several weeks ago, The Gary American sent out a questionnaire to several white ministers of the city in an effort to ascertain their attitude on the race problem.
Among the questions asked were the following:
Would you discourage the attendance of Negroes at your church?
Do you think the color line should be drawn in the Christian church?
To these questions, promptly and sincerely came replies from several of the city's most prominent ministers. One of these is published in this issue. In each reply was noted a spirit of friendliness which indicated the open-mindedness with which the subject was approached and discussed. A number of the replies were forright and candid; all were supported by reasons.
But to the questionnaire no reply was made at all by a few of the ministers to whom they were sent. One of those who failed to make a reply was the Rev. Mr. Millard, pastor of City church—a Methodist Episcopal institution.
Inheriting a high tradition set by his predecessor, Dr. William Grant Seaman, Dr. Millard was recently installed in City church to take up the work of Dr. Seaman. He hails from Tennessee—a state not too liberal in its views on the race question.
But despite his former residence in Dixie, it had been hoped that he would bring to his work
Only Stock Cars Will Be Allowed In 500-Mile Race
Although the Indianapolis 500-mile motor race, otherwise known as the American grand prix classic, is still some seven months in the future motor manufacturing circles are agog over the ultimate design of cars that will be entered, according to the Chicago Motor club, affiliated with the American Automobile association, under which auspices the battle of motors is staged.
The speculation is occasioned by the fact that the A.A.A. has decreed that the small, super-charged straight eights shall race no more on the Hoosier bricks, being replaced by stock cars with engines up to 366 cubic inches piston displacement, on the size of the power plant in a fairly large "six" or medium "eight."
Rumor has it that freak creations, powered with sixteen-cylindered engines, with power being applied to all wheels will make their debut. Just how these curiosities will be certified as stock cars is as yet unexplained. Another story going the rounds is that several of the cars will have a clearance of less than four inches, a space which would hardly allow for safe operation on other than a smooth track.
While one or two officials of automobile manufacturing companies ever there is more truth than poetry in those rumors, another group of motor magnates say there is nothing to them. Neither camp, however, is willing to admit what sort of cars it will enter in the most grueling grind of all motordom. Not in a decade according to veteran race followers, have the builders of race cars hidden behind such an opaque veil of secrecy as on the present occasion.
Another phase of the new racing rules which is coming in for considerable discussion is the regulation providing for two men in each car instead of one, as has prevailed for a number of years. One race car manufacturer says that the presence of the second man, or mechanic, is an unnecessary risk. The A.A.A. officials who supervise the race maintain that the extra man will promote safety.
as pastor of one of Gary's largest churches something of the broadness of mind and liberality of mind which characterized the work of Dr. Seaman.
If this was to be hoped, then Dr. Millard's failure to reply to the questions raised by The Gary American would indicate that the hope was in vain. We admit, of course, that there are times when "silence is golden" but not in the case of Dr. Millard.
Here is a man inheriting something of a legacy in racial friendship and good will from a predecessor who always showed a readiness as well as an ability to discuss the race question. Dr. Seaman's interest in the Negro group, in fact, was something of a phenomenon, and many observers have waited patiently to see if his successor would evince the same quality.
There may be times when "silence is golden" but there are plenty of times when a man should speak, when he should speak with all the ardour and candour and frankness that he possesses. There are times when people are waiting to see if he has the courage to speak. There are times when silence is harmful, when a carefully spoken word may remove doubt and dispel all fear.
For Dr Millard, newly appointed pastor of City church, recent emigrant from the heart of Dixie, successor to the open-minded Dr. William Grant Seaman, this was one of those times.
It Seems To Me
That we should observe another characteristic of the ant that Solomon did not mention in his philosophy to the sluggard. After observing the diligence of these creatures as they go about their work, note one other thing. You never see a black ant carrying food to a red ant's hole or a white ant to a black ant's hole. Our grocermen, shoe repairers, garage owners, etc., need help. Carry crumbs to your own holes!
That we do not use the public library as we should. It is a rare thing to find our professional people frequenting that tax-supported institution. You have an adequate library at home. Do you? That argument is one of self-conceit. No library can become so replenished that one would not still be in need of literature to keep a pace with the universal labyrinth of change.
That we have more time to play pool than any other group in Gary. Men who sleep and lounge around in the morning of life are usually rewarded with the privilege of rocking on the poor house porch during the evening.
That Gary is abundantly supplied with professional men who are very aware of their being. So much that the masses are still alone and wanting in guidance. The gulf is great between the two groups. The former group should be reminded that in spite of its gestures at organization and excuse clubs for racial promotion, complete recognition of its rights, civic and social, will always be in proportion to the intelligent growth of the masses. Gary men, get in the Noonday Business club. We can do no good out. Its ability to remain intact (if not in fact) as an organization for three years gives us our last hope as a commercial unit. Something constructive will come out of that club yet.
That, should there be any empty booths or stalls in the coming annual fall exposition sponsored by Gary Noonday Business club, there are enough "kicking" Jackasses to fill them. That would be a treat to the public.

States Attorney Charges Cops With Pursuing Machine of Slain Candidate
CHICAGO—Nine people face the electric chair for the murder of Attorney Octavius Granady, slain candidate for committeeman of the "bloody" 20th ward. The trial opened Nov. 7.
The slain man was candidate for ward committeeman in the "Bloody 20th," and lost his life when a car bearing hoodlums and another with the police squad, according to witnesses, fired into the automobile in which Granady was riding. The machine carrying the gangsters bore the banners of Morris Eller, opponents of Granady for committeeman, witnesses declared.
The policemen in Carroll's squad car who are charged with the murder are George Tapling, Walter Bailey, Michael Shannon and Michael Loughney. The gangsters are Louis Clemente, Thomas Sonnerio, James Baloestro and John Armendo.
The Illinois law says that any man who is an accessory to the crime of murder is a principal. The special prosecutor, Frank J. Loesch, 77 years old, a veteran of many tough court battles, and his assistants, William Haynes and Charles Lounsbury, will ask for the death penalty.
Mr. Loesch maintains that he is certain that Lieutenant Carroll and his men were firing at Granady with the gangsters.
"It is the theory of the state's case that Lieutenant Carroll's car and another car carrying the 4 gangsters," said Mr. Loesch, "chased Granady's car through the streets." Witnesses will identify all these policemen as being in one car.
"All nine men were shooting at one time or another. Sometimes the gangster's car would be ahead, but there was plenty of shooting from both cars."

fairs of the Church and receives who-
ever comes to Him through Christ.
The Church organization is largely
“man-made” and is therefore subject
to the limitations of the human mind
and human customs.
God seems pleased at times in His
condescension to accommodate Him:
self to these man-made limitation:
and I should say that local conditions,
customs, and the needs of the races
ought to be considered when the ques-
tion of drawing the color line in the
Church is considered.

Clara Bow, famous "it" girl of the screen, brings her newest all-talking success, "The Saturday Night Kid," to the Tivoli Theater on Friday, November 15, for one week.
In "The Saturday Night Kid" Clara Bow has one of the most appealing and fascinating roles of her entire career . . . as a beautiful vivacious girl of the dance halls. One night every week Clara had a "date" at the dance hall with her boy friend, and that night was Saturday.
One of the clearest screen casts of the year has been assembled for "The Saturday Night Kid," including James Hall, as Clara's boy friend; Jean Arthur, petite brunette beauty, who plays Clara's sister; Edna May

ODAY you can see the new Twin-Ignition Eight by Nash-A car which brings the principle of eight cylinders in a straight line to a truly amazing new high point of perfection. This Nash straight eight starts where others leave off, to give its owners the finer things of-motoring. Three years and more of intensive design and development by Nash engineers have gone into its efficient structure. The motor is a masterpiece of motor dom, combining as it does the principles of eight-cylinders-in-line, Twin-Ignition, high compression, valves-in-head, 9-bearing, integrally counterbalanced, hollow-crankpin crankshaft and aluminum pistons and connecting rods. This new car, with this new motor, will rank unmistakably as a distinctive expression of the American genius for motor car manufacture. It is ready to convince anyone [that "a new generation of motor cars has now arrived"] You can see it—you can drive it—today!
Said defendant is therefore hereby notified of the pendency of said action and the next term of said action will stand for trial at the court of the state where he appears and answer or denur herena, at the calling of said cause, on the 16th day of the 21st day of the next term being the 21st day of the next term or said Court to be beign and held in the Court House at Gary, in said County and State of November A.

Our attitude toward crime can be simply phrased—much talk and little intelligent action. Countless cures have been suggested but there is one plan that remains untried. That is, to go back to fundamentals in our treatment of crime.
It is an inescapable fact that as the number of laws increases the amount of crime increases. As legal red tape grows a steadily increasing number of criminals escape punishmnt. And society, to use a colloquialism, "gets it in the neck."
There has been for example, a certain amount of agitation for stringent anti-pistol laws on the grounds that these would disarm the underworld and turn it into a place of holies. Nothing could be more absurd. What more could an active criminal class, which violates all laws in the pursuit of its "profession," ask than to have a citizenry deprived of individual protection
To go back to fundamentals would mean to sharply disassociate the good citizen and the criminal and not pass laws that act to the disadvantage of the former. It would mean to crop our weedy growth of red tape and burdensome legislation that tends to make justice a farce and favors the law-breaker above the law-keeper.

Incendiarism is one of the most cowardly and despicable of crimes.
A summer season has closed during which untold damage in lives and property was done by the arsonist. In the West great forests of invaluable timber have been burned over by fires purposely started. And throughout the nation fires set in order to get insurance, or for revenge, or because of pyromania are common.
The public has been strangely apathetic in its attitude toward arson. In spite of the efforts of fire prevention organizations, it has, from a practical standpoint, failed to cooperate in fighting these criminals. It fails to understand that incendiarism is a constant menace to the life and property of all of us.
An active fight against incendiarism would be of major importance in the general campaign to reduce fire waste.

TO THE EDITOR OF
THE GARY AMERICAN:
I wish to thank you very kindly for
giving me the opportunity of committing
myself on the recent dedication of
the Roosevelt high school here.
I think your version is quite correct.
I shall, however, take this means of
expressing my position of hearding
Negro children into certain schools in
Gary, in response to your request to
speak on the subject.
Herding Negro pupils would be arbitrary, undemocratic and illegal and such will most certainly not be tolerated under the law. The door of every public school in Gary should and must be left open for the accommodation of the pupils of any district regardless of what their color or racial distinction may be.
We also disagree with the proponents of the separate school idea when they assert that separate schools afford an opportunity to teach racial ideas and racial pride. It is submitted that the public schools are not dedicated or set aside for teaching race pride or race consciousness or anything else except sound principles of American citizenship and that can be best taught in public schools attended by members of all racial groups who happen to live in any par-

How MADS Effects It
A Strange Stone, Given to Virginia by Early Colored People, is Much Venerated in Time of Trouble.
By DON CHARLES
IS THERE some mysterious connection between the Dog Star, Sirius, and the strange properties of the Madstone, given to a Virginia family by a venerated colored man?
Science is unable to give a satisfactory answer as to the place of the stars in the affairs of human beings, and it is equally unable to tell just why it is that the odd looking stone now in the possession of the Virginian gentleman, W. E. Tyler, of Loudoun County, succeeds in every instance, in saving persons from a horrible death from poisoning.
The little village of Aldie, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but forty miles from Washington, is the place where the famous madstone is kept. There people come from many miles to receive its benefits. Deadly snake bites, the ugly gash made from the tearing fangs of wild cats, stings, and other accidents, are never feared if only the madstone can be secured.
Origin in Africa
The origin of this strange object reaches back to Africa. According to the Tyler family, now custodians of the healing stone, it was the gift of a colored man. Some say it was used for a time in the East Indies; others say that it was brought directly to America. There is no doubt of its qualities, as there is no doubt of the fact that some generous colored individual, many years ago, sent his precious possession to this country as a gift of friendship.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—November 16, 1929
For many years the Tyler family have carefully cherished and preserved the gift. An early Tyler, who was a sea captain, was shown the stone when on one of his trips by way of the Indies and Africa. A member of the family remembers the oft-repeated story which has been brought down from the early days relating that on a stop at a tropical island, a trio of native colored men came to the ship. Large handsome fellows, they were. They asked to see the captain.
The trader received them. After talking over business matters relating to provisions and ornaments and other matters, the friends announced that they would like to show him one of their strange stones.
"The three squatted low on the beach and proceeded to demonstrate their claims as to the wonderful ability of the stones to save life. The eldest," according to Mr. Tyler, "took a kitten from his basket and placed it within reach of a deadly snake that was carried in another basket. Hardly had a minute elapsed when the alert reptile reared his head and struck his fangs deep into the body of the kitten. In ten minutes time the kitten was dead.
3 saves Kitten's Life
"Then another kitten was taken from the basket and a snake was allowed to strike it. This time, however the visitor reached into his pocket and took out a strange appearing stone and applied it to the wound made by the serpent's fangs. In a few seconds the kitten revived, jumped up and ran away.
"The captain was invited to test the wonders of the stone by the same method, but he was afraid. Then one of the tall, handsome fellows, bared his arm to a poisonous snake and received a specially large and strong dose of the venom. Immediately an ugly swelling set in, but no time was lost in administering the stone to the wound and it worked so effectively that a cure was made."
It seems that the American sea captain could not then believe his own eyes and refused to believe what he had just observed. He tried to buy one of the strange stones. His offer was refused, but he was given a stone as a token of friendship and for the benefit of "his people," when he should reach home. Thus the
THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD FARMERS
The home of W. E. Tyler in Aldie, Va., where the madstone has been for a number of generations. It is a much prized possession and is guarded very zealously. According to rumor, many efforts have been made to rob the owners of this wonder stone.
The stone, it was explained to him, came from the heart of a white deer. Other colored people told that it was specially made by a secret tribal method. Whatever the origin, the stone was carefully preserved on the long homeward trip.
In America the stone was kept in a safe place. Friends and neighbors heard the tale of its mysterious powers. Then when a large copperhead snake sunk its fangs into the hand of a neighbor the stone was called for. The stone was applied and the neighbor recovered. After this, others came to be treated. There is no record of its ever failing to help.
"One lady came all the way from New Orleans," said Mr. Tyler, "asking to have her little daughter treated for a rabid dog bite. It took several days to complete the journey and the child's leg was in terrible condition. But after several applications of the stone, the swelling went down, the wound assumed a pinkish, healthy look, and in a few days the child was restored to perfect health."
There is, too, the account of an old colored man, called Jerry, who was bitten while in the woods. He consulted the village doctor, but the swelling continued. Then the stone was applied and the wound quickly healed.
Mr. Tyler says: "In my fathers declining days I often applied the stone, and it seemed quite natural for me to continue to use it, to relieve suffering and distress, as the donors said."
Takes Poison From Body
A madstone seems to have the strange ability to take poison from the body. Just how, why, or in what way it accomplishes this, no one seems to know. Possibly the three colored wise men of an early day understood. This souvenir is about one and one-fourth inches in length, of a light and dark brown color, resembling an almond in shape. In time of difficulty, after the sting of a poisonous creature, the stone is first placed in a glass of water, while the wound is scratched with a sharp blade of a knife, then the madstone is applied directly to the wound. If there is poison there, the stone adheres. When all the
- poison is drawn out that it can absorb, the stone falls off and must be boiled in milk to restore its ability to help. Sometimes the milk turns a grayish-green color. Afterwards it can be again applied, and as frequently as desired, or until it will no longer stick to the wound.
Saved from Rabies
The Tyler family has never known of an instance where it failed to relieve suffering.
The Aldie madstone was once used by a Washington woman who had been bitten by a large Maltese cat, 15 years ago. Fearing rabies, the woman made the trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains for the sake of the treatment of the madstone. There the charm worked, and today the woman is well. Scientists of the Department of Agriculture who examined the cat found traces of rabies. The madstone, however, drew out the poison and saved the woman's life.
Whether the stone is possessed of magical powers or not, no one knows. Colored people who have studied the origin of these stones claim that it is their ability to absorb substances, to suck out the moisture, that makes them so reliable. Science ignores the subject.
Have Scientific Basis
At the Army Medical Museum in Washington, in a report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, there is an article by Dr. H.C. White who says: "Madstones immersed in water are found to absorb to an extent of 5 per cent. of their weight. Applied to fresh wounds, carefully adjusted, blood absorbs to a maximum of 23 per cent. of weight of the stone." And further, and highly important, it is stated that, "Madstones boiled in milk or water are found to be toxic in case of venomous wounds."
Quack Madstones
Those who laugh and scoff at the stone that was the gift of early colored folk are thus confronted by the scientific statement. Of course, there are quack madstones, just as there are quack medicines and quack doctors in the world. But real madstones, like the one at Aldie, do their work thoroughly and conscientiously. It appears to be a fact that many of the so-called mysterious charms hark back to common sense and common medicine. There

was a colored woman known to many friends of the writer, who dosed the children of the family with bluing water whenever the raspy, frightening sound of a croupy cough was heard—and the children never had croup. This fact was mentioned to an eminent doctor, who replied: "It is not so laughable, indigo is a component part of croup medicine."
Belief in madstones was common hundreds of years ago in many parts of the East. Travelers tell of colored people who had these stones, sometimes called "tabersheer," or opal. Some have said that the stone is made of juice which becomes evaporated, leaving a mucilaginous rather than solid substance.
The great Oriental traveler, Jean Baptiste Travernier, tells of finding a colored man who had a madstone and who used it to extract poisons. He said: "The test for a true madstone is to place it in the mouth—if good it will leap to the palate and adhere. It also bolls water." The boiling water effect was probably caused by the bubbles arising.
Did St. Paul Use It?
Prof. Kunz says: "Madstones actually have property of adhering strongly to the tongue, and when dropped in water emit rapid streams of air bubbles. After absorbing matter they become opal-like. They possess absorption properties to greater degree than any other substance, and it is strange that they have not been used as a more widely used antidote for poison."
At Florence, Italy, in 1863, while excavating on the site of the old Church of the Templars, dedicated to St. Paul, there was found an earthen vase. On this vase in bas-relief, between two designs was a figure of St. Paul being bitten by a serpent, as described in Acts 28th chapter, verses 3 to 6. In Latin was read the inscription, "In the name of St. Paul and by this stone thou shalt draw out poison."
It might appear that there were colored folks in St. Paul's day who knew the secret of this strange stone.
Who knows the secret of a magnet which picks up only certain things? It is possible that the madstone, not mad as its name indicates, possesses a like virtue and hidden strength in eliminating poison.

room was gloomy, and by comparison
the doorway seemed almost dazzling
in the afternoon sun. It framed a
foreground of white sand road and
a towering back drop of straight pine
boles. In the centre of the picture
showing only in silhouette, stood
Valerie.
She hesitated a moment, then ad-
vanced toward him. While he
thought, “This isn't right. This will
upset everything again,” his quick
perception of beauty caught the
sinuous: flow of the little body, car-
ried now with a childish bravado.
He said, “Oh, good God,” and stood
motionless. On his face was the odd
look that had counted so _ heavily
against him when he was a child—
the wide-eyed, almost vacuous gaze.
Finally he broke into movement,
holding out his hand—‘Valerie.”
“Yes,” she said, laughing a little
shakily, “right you are. but don't be
so frightened. -I haven't come to call.

She had spoken in a light man-
ner but with a serious undertone in
her voice. Saint was mystified. He
locked the store and opened the
door into his own room. She enter-
ed, and he followed her in silence.
He was bewildered by her sudden and
unexpected appearance, and by the
faint exciting vibrations that her
presence released in the familiar
room. She did not look about her,
saying at once: “Uncle George was
taking the children to see the gar-
dens, so I got him to drop me off
here.” Then with her characteristic
directness, she came immediately to
the point.
“You_remember what I told you
about Father and the bad time he
has had?”
Saint nodded assent.
“Well, I have been thinking about
him a lot since, and I couldn't help
thinking about your saying that you

She stood up, saying that the car would be back any minute and she had promised to be at the roadside to be picked up without delaying the homeward journey. She had an overdone air of indifference about her and held out her hand with impersonal coolness. Salnt took it and held it for a moment. Then he said with the solemnity of youth, "Thank you Valerie. I have to think this all out. But I'll never forget your coming."
"Oh, that's all right, quite all right," she replied in a deliberately passionless voice. "It is the sort of thing that my sort of meddling person can't help doing for a friend. You've taken it nicely. And now I feel better for having done it."
In the moment of departure she hesitated, turned slowly and for the first time examined the room, noting the etchings, the books, the guitar; and on the table the rather absurd self-instruction book. She completed her survey in silence; then she came and took both of his hands impulsively. In the up-flung light of the fire her face was luminous.
"Oh," she said, "I am sorry for you and I'm proud of you. This little room—can't you feel it? It is not a playhouse, after all. It is your battle ground, and you're going to win." She dropped his hands suddenly and turned her back upon him, leaving him inarticulate and embarrassed. Then she loked over her shoulder and laughed audaciously.
"There's something else I came to say, too, and I had almost forgotten. It's this: you need not be afraid to come and see me in town. I'll promise not to marry you unless you ask me."
The boy goggled at her, his face a mask of comedy. Finally he achieved a grin.
"Poor boy," she laughed. "The Wentworths have never had to contend with my sort before, but you're

He walked with her to the road, and they saw the Atkinson car approaching, a great, shining limousine, nosing its way along the winding sand road. Atkinson was at the wheel, and the children had a friend with them in the deep rear seat.
Saint helped Valerie up beside him while he responded to the cheery greetings, then stood and watched the car diminish toward a far vanishing point. Instinctively he turned back into the old avenue of escape—the splendid abstract dreams that had pulled him through the bitter moments of his adolescence. He opened his mind to them, and suddenly they were upon him, bright and amazing, more actual than life. The great machine vanishing under the trees turned the trick—its incongruity in that primitive setting. Under the rubber tires, a scant six feet deep—carcases of dinosaurs, their great teeth and bone fragments waiting for the shovels of the Negroes to show them the light again. They rose before him. In the dusk under the live oaks he saw vast moving shapes oddly balanced on hind legs while they reached to feed on tree-tops. They were so real, so marvellously convincing, he regarded them with a sort of detached pride akin to the thrill of creation. The last glimmer of a sanguine sunset, broken into long bars by the tree trunks, penetrated the dusk and burned faintly on the swaying forms. Then the swamp mists bellied in whitely and blurred the huge outlines.
Saint become conscious of the roughness of the bark against which he was leaning. "Yesterday and today," he thought, "and what does it all amount to, anyway?" He pulled himself up sharply. What would Valerie say! She thought he had something in him, and she hadn't put him down as a quitter. He straightened up resolutely and jammed his
One month had passed since Wentworth had been to the city for the St. Cecilia ball, four years since he had gone on the payroll of the mining company. Mr. Raymond had sent word that he would call at noon. There was an important matter to be threshed out. The two men had scarcely met since the morning when they had driven out together and Saint had been installed. Mr. Raymond belonged to a world of statistics, directors' meetings, and conferences, with his orbit definitely fixed in the big Broad Street offices and the surrounding financial district. Wentworth had been directly answerable to the commissary manager, an extremely low order of human being named Goodlow, to whom a trade was as the breath of life, and who naturally regarded his aristocratic subordinate with the traditional suspicion and dislike of the poor-white. Twenty years of penny-pinching had raised him from the keeper of one of the smallest branches to the position of purchasing and managerial head of the chain. Saint knew that the man disliked him intensely, but he also knew that, having come into the job over the manager's head, at the hands of the great Mr. Raymond, he enjoyed a certain mysterious prestige in the Goodlow mind, and that was why he was, at least, left largely to himself.
It was odd that Saint felt no nervous apprehension at the prospect of the visit of his chief. He wondered about this for a while. What had brought about the difference? Then he got the answer: the ball, not the event itself, but the things for which it stood, the odd feeling of importance that it left with him in spite of his disillusioning return to the realities of the camp. He remember-

ed his panic that day when he had been given his job, and he smiled at his own expense.
When Mr. Raymond arrived he greeted his employee warmly, but there was a subtle something in the air that seemed to temper the extreme cordiality of his attitude towards him when they had driven out to the store that other morning four years ago. He stood silent while the outer door was locked, then, as a gesture of invitation, preceded Wentworth into his little sanctum. Strangely enough, the room seemed to impair the sense of superiority which an employer has every right to experience in an interview that deals with policies of the company. The room was less a part of the store building than it was of the man before him. It confused the issue, making him feel like a guest in his own house. Mr. Raymond stood looking about him in silence for a moment. There were many books, and his roving glance failed to discover a familiar title upon any of the

Has Prettiest Bright Hair In All New York
The part which exquisite Virginia Wheeler contributes to the success of "Connie's Hot Chocolates," New York's musical hit conceived by Leonard Harper, is attributed to her gorgeous bright, smooth hair as much as her beautiful features.
"My hair looks so soft, even and full of life because I make it that way," says Miss Wheeler. "If you were to see it before I fix it with La-Em-Strait hair dressing you would wonder how I manage it because it does not stay so beautifully brushed by itself La-Em-Strait keeps it in place and gives it that luster as I brush it."
La-Em-Strait is very popular with the men too because it is so easy to use and is not greasy. Takes only 30 seconds to make the most stubborn and unmanageable hair smooth and bright. That's why more than a million folks prefer it. All drug stores have the 25c and 50c packages.

neatly arranged bindings. There were several etchings, and odd bits of statuary. In a corner stood a glass case containing a small collection of fossils from the mines. His glance came back to Wentworth and rested on him questioningly. He had had him neatly catalogued. The boy had been hopelessly devoid of ability, personality, everything that could make for success. He had taken him on and buried him here because Kate Wentworth was one of the finest women God ever made, and he wanted to do what he could for her son. Now

reinforced by this inexplicable background, the boy was emerging as a mystery, and he was suspicious of mysteries, especially in business. His employee had changed physically, too—filled out—and there was an ease and resilience about his carriage that denoted reserves of vigour. Saint begged his guest to be seated and returned to the store for the box of cigars. When he re-entered the room Mr. Raymond was standing before the mantelpiece from which he was in the act of lifting a small curious object, holding it gingerly in his heavy, blunt fingers.
"What's this peculiar affair, Wentworth?" the inquired.
Saint took it and held it with a strange sort of deference. It was about six inches in height, made of some heavy, dark wood. Oddly out of proportion, it yet resembled a woman in a kneeling posture. The limbs were massive and primitively modeled, the eyes half closed, the nose broad and flat.
The answer came with diffidence. "Oh, that! Why that's a piece of primitive African sculpture. It was almost a duplicate of a piece in a collection at the museum, and when it was offered the other day by the British Museum for sale or exchange the director arranged for me to take it off their hands."
He hesitated a moment, while he studied the bit of wood, then he added impulsively: "Not often a fellow down here gets a chance like that I can tell you."
"Ahem! no--I suppose not" Raymond replied. Then, seizing the opportunity offered by the topic, he sat down, relighted his cigar, and said with some sententiousness: "Negro, eh! Well, that brings us to the matter in hand. I thought. Wentworth that we had rather given you an idea of the policy toward Baggart and his men out here. It's not the sort of thing that we issue orders about, you understand, but there is a general feeling among the men that it is for the good of all concerned not to interfere with his administration of the law in this district. Perhaps you haven't quite realised this? And he looked at Saint with raised eyebrows
"But I do not understand. Mr. Raymond, and God knows I've minded my own business. Why. I even let that yellow skunk Bluton hang around the store, and keep my mouth shut while I wait on him."
"Oh, it's nothing about the store, said Mr. Raymond hastily. "It's this matter of Davy something-or-other I gather that Baggart subpoenaed

him for crap shooting Saturday night, and that you appeared for him and swore to his alibi." "Oh, that!!" exclaimed Saint his face clearing. "Certainly. I see you don't understand. I had Davy here helping me take stock until midnight, then I saw him go home. When he told me about his summons I thought that there was some mistake, so I offered to go to the hearing and clear it up for him. That was all." Raymond leaned forward with his elbows on the arms of the chair and regarded Saint intently. The boy was struck again, as he had been that first day by the kindliness of his eyes, but when he spoke the bold, flexible voice had a decisive edge to it.
"I see that I have to be very plain-spoken with you, Wentworth. It is a hard matter to put into words, but I am going to try to get it over to you. We—that is, the Company, the labour, the magistrate, you—have all shaken down into a system that works. It may look unjust, it certainly is faulty, but I am not sure that it is such a bad arrangement, after all. To begin with, the state but a magistrate here and requires him to maintain an office, a constable and live like a white man on seventy-five dollars a month, and—here's the joker—such percuisites as the office may yield. The incumbent holds his office at the pleasure of the voters—not the mining interests with their few white votes, but the rank and file of the poor-white, small farmers, workingmen, who fear the Negro in the mass worse than they do the devil. They give their man the job for what it is worth, requiring of

for craps. He was due for a contribution, that's all. You had only to sit tight, and the next morning he'd have come to you for his fine. If his credit was strong on your books, you could- have advanced him the ten dollars then and there: if not, you could have sent two down on account. Baggart makes 'erms, you know—two down, two a week. That way you would have been playing the game and everybody would have been happy."
Saint said. "I mind most getting Davy in wrong by it. What had I better do about it now?"
The employer gave the matter thought. At length he said, "I'll tell you what. Just go over to Baggart. He's not a bad sort to talk to. You'll have to handle it a little delicately. Compliment him on the way he keeps order. Tell him that you are just beginning to understand how he gets such fine results. That he can count on your co-operation in future. Fine word that—co-operation. Then say offhand that you have a special interest in Davy and that if he gets in trouble again to let you know." "That's a nasty dose to stomach." Saint remarked. "but I can't have Davy persecuted. I suppose I'll end by going."
"That's right," Mr. Raymond approved. "Better take a bull by the horns and haul him out of the road. Only way to get ahead." He sat smoking for a moment or two, then touched on the subject in the abstract. "Strange tangle, this Negro business. Had a talk with a neighbour of yours about it yesterday.

Mr. Raymond inhaled a deep breath of tobacco smoke and blew it toward the ceiling. "That," he said with a cryptic smile, "is Proctor Baggart's little secret." After a moment he added: "I may say in the strictest secrecy that we are trying through an underground route to have all magistrates required to give receipts for fines.
