Before an enthusiastic audience of listeners, Mme Addie Mitchell, coloratura soprano, appeared in recital in Chicago. Metropolitan critics praised her work. Said they: "Her voice is soft and flute-like." One of the busiest persons during the Yule Tide holidays was Miss Harriet Dwyer, former East Chicago girl, but now a Robbins, Ill., school teacher. At her home on Michigan Blvd., she entertained many friends. TAX ON GAS YIELDS 4 HUNDRED MILLION Receipts from the gasoline tax throughout the United States in 1929 will total approximately $400,940,000, or about 30 per cent more than the total in 1928, when $504,871,776 was collected, according to a bulletin issued by the Chicago Motor club. Eleven Million For Illinois The statement is based on data compiled by the research department of the American Automobile association. Illinois motorists, it estimates, would pay some $11,000,000, while the car owners of the neighboring states, Indiana and Wisconsin, would contribute $15,000,000 and $7,335,000, respectively. The large increase for this year may be attributed to the fact that Massachusetts passed a gas tax law which became effective January 1, 1929; New York also adopted a tax, which took effect May 1, and Illinois passed a similar law, effective August 1.

The affair was labelled by the sponsors, who included Mr. Rosenwald, Dr. Frank Billings, Colonel A. A. Sprague and Alexander L. Jackson, as an "informative dinner" and informative it was. Dr. Billings, representing the University of Chicago and chairman of the campaign committee, told of the project which is being fostered by the board of trustees of the Provident Hospital and Training School, in cooperation with the University of Chicago, and declared that the proposed institution would mark the beginning of a new era in the medical profession as far as Negroes are concerned. Dr. H. S. Cummings, Surgeon-General of the United States Public Health Service, was the guest of honor, outlined the obstacles faced by Negroes in the effort to improve health conditions and thereby lower the much too high mortality rate among Negroes, not only of Chicago, but of the entire country. The surgeon general told the group assembled, that the project, as explained by Dr. Billings, would do much toward bringing about the desired results in this direction. One of the most serious handicaps faced by the Negro physician and nurse, he said, was the lack of opportunity to pursue post graduate and research work. It is the plan of the Greater Provident Hospital and Training School to offer this training. According to the present plan, the new institution, while offering hospitalization for all citizens, will emphasize particularly the teaching training and research aspect. Through the new institution, a materially larger number of physicians will be afforded the opportunity to serve as interns; an increased number of young women will be trained as nurses and post graduate courses in medicine and surgery, under the most competent teachers, will be offered to physicians and surgeons from all sections of the country. Elliot Nugent is Star in Tivoli Film "So This Is College," all-talking collegiate frolic coming to the Tivoli theatre Friday, December 27, has the unusual distinction of being actually filmed on the campus of the University of Southern California. Tris production, based on the tenderest of love stories, is unusual in its variety of scenes and situations. It goes from rousing, roaring football scenes to moonlit campus walks, from sweet toned harmony to fast snappy jazz. It runs the gamut of emotions in the intensity of its scenes. It takes one from fast action to romance and from romance to uproarious humor. Contracts let for motor buildings in 1928 numbered 7,569 with a valuation of $149,156,700. Mary Ann In their quest for talent and pulchritude, moving picture directors may find in Miss Myrtle Wilson, pretty Chicago beauty parlor operator, what is known in movie land as a "real find." Miss Wilson, too, is known to have ambitions for such a career. STUDENTS RESENT INTERRACIAL 'HOP' HAITIAN SLAUGHTER: IS TO BE HELD AT ASK U.S. INTERVENE NATION'S CAPITAL Young Ministers Ask Hoover t Restore Island to the Natives; New York, Dec. 27—A group of students and professors at Union Theological seminary in this city, have sent a letter to President Hoover, Senator William E. Borah of the senate foreign affairs committee, and Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, protesting against the shooting of Haitian citizens by U. S. Marines. The letter asks that self-government be restored to the Haitians, and that the Marines be withdrawn from Haitian territory as soon as practicable. The present actions and methods of the American Occupations are characterized as being contrary to the spirit of American professions in the field of international relations. The letter was circulated and signed following an address last Monday by Herbert J. Seligmann, Director of Publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Washington, D. C., Dec. 29—(By Associated Negro Press)—According to an announcement made by the Department of Justice here Wednesday, 200 Negro federal prisoners in the Atlanta prison were assigned to build roads in Chatham county, Georgia, and to be transferred to the road camps immediately. GARY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929 Washington, D. C., Dec. 27 — (By The Associated Negro Press). For the first time in Washington, the "key" to the South, a huge interracial dance will be held Monday, January 6, 1930. It is being arranged under the auspices of the Communist party and Young Communist league. It will be held at the Pythian hall, 1200 U. street, N. W. Richard Moore of New York, leading Negro Communist, will address the gathering.

Colored Women in N. Y. Aid N.A.A.C.P. New York, Dec. 27—A contribution of $50 toward the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has been received from the New Jersey State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The contribution was forwarded by Mrs. Grace B. Valentine, Treasurer of the Federation. Mrs. Armita H. Douglas, of Newark, is President. POLICE ON GUARD AS CITIZEN'S HOME IS MENACED BY MOB The N.A.A.C.P. To Furnish Aid Through Local Branch; Whites Enraged New York, Dec. 27 — Two representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, William T. Andrews, special legal assistant and Frank H. Turner, secretary of the Jamaica, Long Island, branch, will confer with T. S. Edwards of Jamaica, whose windows have been smashed, shrubbery about his house torn up, and threats made against him and his family's safety in an effort to drive him from his newly purchased home. The conference is to be held for the purpose of taking steps to assure full protection for Mr. Edwards, his family and his property. The latest threat against Edwards took the form of a white man's visit and rude entrance into the house, holding up his hand which had been blackened, before Mrs. Edwards. This white man said he was the owner of 30 houses in the neighborhood and would not permit colored people to live there. He offered to reimburse to Edwards the amount paid for the house if the family would move out. He threatened that if they did not move, their house would be blown up. He also inquired of Mrs. Edwards as to the time of her husband's return home and the train he travelled on, information which Mrs. Edwards declined to give. During this white man's visit a group of other white people stood on the street. Mr. Edwards further reports that a local democratic leader, named Dougherty was reported by a colored man named Sydnor to have threatened that the Edwards house would be bombed and that this bombing would be done by white people just as soon as the policeman now on guard was removed. A policeman has been constantly on guard since protection was requested from the police commissioner, Grover A. Whalean, by the N.A.A.C.P. The N.A.A.C.P. will endeavor to obtain idavits setting forth the threats made and by whom they were uttered. SAVES WHITE GIRL FROM BURNING CAR Nashville — (By the Associated Press). Risking his own life, Dorsey Davis, employed as a cook at a roadside inn, rescued Mrs. Irene Wilkes, a white woman, from a burning automobile, in which she and her husband were trapped when the car overturned and caught fire. The accident occurred on a highway near here and Davis saw it from his kitchen window. Rushing to the burning automobile while more than a score of spectators looked on, Davis wrenched the door of the car open and pulled the woman from it, but not before her clothing had caught fire. He extinguished the flames and went back to rescue Wilkes. The second rescue could not be effected due to the flames and the heat therefrom and the man burned to a crisp.

Story in this issue. $14.50 Raised For Needy Ones By 'American' Though it may be "a city of steel," Gary possesses a heart of gold. This fact was clearly demonstrated Christmas day when more than a score of persons, in response to an appeal made by The Gary American, contributed money, food, baskets of groceries, and shoes and clothing to the relief of Mrs. A. Hayden, 737 West 25th avenue, and her four destitute children. As a result, Christmas day was a happy day for Mrs. Hayden, an invalid, and her four tots. For nearly a year the mother has been ill, her husband out of work, and the children without food, fire or clothing. Her case was reported to The American by Mrs. Julia Gross, 1913 Adams street and an appeal was immediately sent out. The following persons responded to the appeal: Russell Ferguson, 25c; Hernan B. Shaw, 25c; Richmond Thomas, 25c; Frank Davis, 50c; Wm. Hall, 10c; Joshun Roberts, 20c; Roosevelt theatre, $10; Joseph Johnson, $1; A. Raid, 25c; David Wells, 15c; James Long, 10c; I. S. Briggs, 50c; W. Jones, $1. Total $14.50. In addition, Sam's Loan Shop which started a "pof fund" for Mrs Hayden and solicited contributions from customers, gave three pair of shoes to the children. A basket of food was given by the Salvation army C. M. Leary, of the Double "L" laundry, contributed $3.92 worth of laundry, and Miss Catherine Millar, at Gary works hospital, collected several baskets of food for the family. Joan Crawford Is Star In "Untamed" CHICAGO—A fight in a ballroom is one of the novelties of "Untamed," the new Joan Crawford all-talking vehicle coming to the Tivoli Theater. --- Alienists Employed by Both the State and Defense Find That He Is Insane ORDERED TO A HOSPITAL Accuser Hobbles Into Court Aided by Nurse; Alleged He Attacked Her (From The American's Bureau) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.—Charged with attempt to commit robbery, Everett D. Simpson, former Gary (Ind.) school teacher was adjudged insane and mentally incompetent here this week, and ordered remanded to the psychopathic hospital for observation. Simpson, a resident here for only 1 year, is alleged to have entered the home of a friend, R. L. Andrews, and in his absence, he is alleged to have attacked Mrs. Andrews, beating her into insensibility and then ransacking the house for valuables. Act Considered Strange Coming here with high recommendations from the school board at Gary, Simpson was considered a man of uncommon intellectual attainments and his act in entering the Andrews home and attacking Mrs. Andrews was considered almost incredible by his friends. Following the incident, he was arrested and charged with assault and attempt to commit robbery. Placed on trial, he was declared insane by alienists employed by the state and the defense. Appearing against him at the trial was Mrs. Andrews who had to be carried into court by attendants on account of her physical condition following Simpson's attack. Despite her contention that she was beaten so severely by Simpson that she could not attend the trial unaided by a nurse, she left for Houston, Texas, immediately after the trial unaccompanied by anyone. Simpson will be remanded to the psychopathic ward of the County hospital here where it is believed that he has a chance to regain his sanity. He is said to have suffered a nervous collapse, due to overwork, shortly before his arrest.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929 RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT The year just ending has been one of the best in a material history. Spiritually as well as materially humanity generally and our history in particular made noteworthy progress in the year. No representative to say that the material prosperity, of which we were prone to boast too much, has been a potent factor in promoting aured advance of mankind. Dour souls profess to believe the people are "getting wise" they may be right, but there is not wanting evidence that the spirit of their brotherhood is growing stronger and warmer. Charity is suspicious than cupidity, the will to peace is gaining ascendance the arrogance and pride and belligerence that aforetime hearts and minds of men, the principle of live and let live normally accepted and acted upon that we now help our neighbor and improve their condition. All these constitute spiritualities. But they would not amount to much they not financially could not be adequately financed did we not prosper many. There is therefore solid reason for rejoicing that business is good and that all the auguries are of even better business ahead. Science and invention have contributed to the prolongation of life, to making the work of the world easier of perform increasing the healthful pleasures of the people, to broadening universities for cultural improvement. The finer things of life are appreciated and more in demand. Education is spread far before. And that faith in God has been strengthened is doubted by anyone who observes the growing eagerness of able to promote the spiritual welfare of the nation by allowing removing physical ills and disabilities according to His generally speaking, it is well with America and the world a man of 1930. We wish all a Happy New Year, confident that conditionable to realization of happiness in greater measure than has been. The year just ending has been one of the best in a material sense in history. Spiritually as well as materially humanity generally and our own country in particular made noteworthy progress in the year. Nor is it misrepresentative to say that the material prosperity, of which we may be prone to boast too much, has been a potent factor in promoting the cultured advance of mankind. Dour souls profess to believe the people are "getting worse." They may be right, but there is not wanting evidence that the spirit of human brotherhood is growing stronger and warmer. Charity is more conspicuous than cupidity, the will to peace is gaining ascendancy over the arrogance and pride and belligerence that aforetime ruled the hearts and minds of men, the principle of live and let live is so commonly accepted and acted upon that we now help our neighbors to live and improve their condition. All these constitute spiritual advances. But they would not amount to much were they not financed. They could not be adequately financed did we not prosper materially. There is therefore solid reason for rejoicing that business has been good and that all the auguries are of even better business in the year ahead. Science and invention have contributed to the prolonging of human life, to making the work of the world easier of performance to increasing the healthful pleasures of the people, to broadening opportunities for cultural improvement. The finer things of life are better appreciated and more in demand. Education is spreading as never before. And that faith in God has been strengthened is not to be doubted by anyone who observes the growing eagerness of our people to promote the spiritual welfare of the nation by alleviating and removing physical ills and disabilities according to His plan. Generally speaking, it is well with America and the world at the dawn of 1930. We wish all a Happy New Year, confident that conditions are favorable to realization of happiness in greater measure than has been known.

COAL you will swear by In recent years our outstanding industries have proceeded on the theory that safety is an integral part of good business—that the safe plant is the efficient, prosperous and economical one. Following this trend, many of the schools of the nation have come to accept safety as a necessary part of their curricula. It has been advocated and adopted by a multitude of educational leaders and the result has been a tremendous success. In schools where safety instruction is well organized at least a 50 per cent reduction in child mortality has been effected. This direct saving in lives is not the only benefit of safety instruction. It prepares a new generation to take its place in life with a sound knowledge and intuitive grasp of the accident problem. Twenty thousand children are killed by accidents each year. If all schools introduced safety into their classes this number could quickly be reduced. It is a proven fact that most accidents are unnecessary, and the result of ignorance or carelessness. Every American child should be given the information that may prove the means of saving him from accident. COAL you will swear by Our clean coal is the coal that goes farthest in the home.

The young man, Turley Wright, was accused of having attacked an elderly white woman, and was convicted and sentenced to ten years imprisonment upon testimony of herself and her two granddaughters, later shown to have been perjured. It was further established that the jury gave a verdict of guilty and a relatively minor jail sentence was imposed in deference to mob sentiment which it was thought would result in a lynching if the boy were acquitted. W. L. Pinkerton, an outstanding white attorney of Centreville, Tennessee, who has been instrumental in procuring justice for the boy reports to the N.A.A.C.P. that the attorney general, W. E. Eggleston, let it be known he would agree to a verdict of Not Guilty in the second trial "so as to completely vindicate a badly wronged boy."

The Stormy Ca THE BOXING FIGHT The fact that Jack was once world's light heavy-weight champion is not generally known. However, this title was wrested from George Gardner in San Francisco, March 31, 1902. The title was won in a four-round knock-out. Here Jack's superiority was never in doubt. This victory did not satisfy Jack, so he continued his struggle upward. True Stories Achievement Stories By John P. Moore. THE incidents preceding and including the death of Roberta Harris are included in this series of unsolved Negro murder cases.first, because they are overridden with elements of mystery; second, because the facts are bizarre, apparently so impossible, that they must surely make interesting reading. Roberta Harris's mysterious death came at the height of the yuletide season of 1915- The Gary American ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—December 28, 1929 a passing of a beautiful young woman that upset her little world of friends and caused endless speculation as to whether the young woman herself poisoned a pretty box of Christmas candy intentionally, or . . . ? lest living relatives of the unfortunate perta. We will first recall the unfortunate woman's past. Roberta Harris was born in Atlanta, Georgia on May 12, 1895. Her parents were Henry and Blossy Harris of that place, hard-working, respectable people. Roberta was their only child, hence THE WRESTLING The worst punishment received in his entire career was dealt by Hank Griffen, in two close battles, both resulting in draws. In one battle Jack had the greatest difficulty in keeping himself standing in the face of the terrific onslaught of his opponent. Throughout his entire career Jack never encountered a harder opponent. The worst punishment received in his entire career was dealt by Hank Griffen, in two close battles, both resulting in draws. In one battle Jack had the greatest difficulty in keeping himself standing in the face of the terrific onslaught of his opponent. Throughout his entire career Jack never encountered a harder opponent. In 1900 Henry Harris moved his little family to Newport News, Virginia, worked at that place for a year or so, then moved across the water to Norfolk, where he found employment and settled permanently. Roberta Harris's childhood and young womanhood was the same as that of any number of young girls under similar circumstances. When Roberta was ten, she was going to school, jumping rope and playing jacks; when she was sixteen she was a healthy, pretty school girl; so, quite naturally, by the time she was eighteen, there had been numerous silly love affairs and hosts of chums. Here perhaps is the most convenient place to go into the only known incident in Roberta's short life that could even remotely suggest her mysterious death was a deliberately planned murder—an incident that probably marked her first feeling of being "grown-up" and at the same time gave her a glimpse of the more serious side of life. When Roberta was nineteen years old, her mother made a discovery. Sometime previously Roberta had made the acquaintance of a man referred to as Willie Thorp, a much older man than the young woman. This secret friendship came to light while Roberta was confined to bed a few weeks with a touch of pneumonia. She was ill from March to April. 1914. During the latter week of her illness, Malissa Watkins, who was one of Roberta's closest friends, visited the sick girl at her home and imparted to her information that upset her severely. Just what this news was the Harrises could never find out, but it is now believed that it had some connection with what happened a few days later. A few days after this incident—Roberta, by the way, had a relapse—Mrs. Harris answered a knock on the door and was confronted by a man whom she had never seen before. The records describe him as having been at that time around thirty years of age, dark skinned, tall, and weighing about 145 pounds. There were two gold crowned molars in his upper jaw and he had the general appearance of a dissipater, though he was well dressed. Without ordinary preliminaries this man inquired if Roberta Harris lived there. In the meantime the sick girl, who was in the front room just A man and a woman sit in a room, shaking hands. The man is wearing a suit and tie, while the woman is dressed in a long coat and skirt. The room is decorated with a curtain and a picture on the wall. While on the western coast, a fortune teller there predicted his future and recounted his past with such accuracy that he was not only astounded, but found years later that his life came to pass with little deviation from her foretelling. She predicted his becoming heavyweight champion, his love affairs and several of his adventures.

At which the man outside showed signs of being the owner of an uncontrollable temper. He insisted that he merely wanted to see Roberta for a minute. Mr. Harris himself, who died only a few years ago, emerged from the kitchen and cut short what might easily have been a scene. The man was firmly instructed that he was not to call again. He made a remark that tended to compare the man's age with that of his daughter's, a cutting remark. After which the unwanted caller turned away angrily. That ended it—maybe, according to your own solution of the case. Questioned later, Roberta Harris apparently broke down and made a complete confession to her parents, a confession that in itself showed neither extreme sin nor anything that was disgraceful. And the Harrises believed their daughter. It appeared that Roberta had met the man, as Willie Thorp, a few weeks before at a "movie."

WATSON Text by ROLFE DELLON One of the most important bouts of the year 1906, was the Jack Johnson-Sam Langford fight. This bout Jack won in 15 rounds at Chelsea, Mass. It was a well fought match, but Johnson won decisively. Many believed that Langford was Jack's superior. But the outcome of this match completely upset such a belief. Clean Fiction Human Interest Features that she had found out that he was married, and so on—altogether a long tale that made it obvious that she knew right from wrong. In the end she said that the man did not live in Norfolk, but was running on a steamboat between Baltimore and that city. It may be said here that a search for the man after Roberta's death, months later, was unfruitful. Either there had never been a Willie Thorp or he had mysteriously vanished. Nor did Malissa Watkins throw any light on the mystery. She swore at the time and stuck to the same story later, that she had never heard of such a person as Willie Thorp, and that her visit on the night of Roberta's illness was for the express intention of informing her that Harry Wynn, who once kept company with the sick girl, had married Nellie Meekins, another of her close friends. Incidentally, the two above mentioned persons were married about that time, but the elder Harrises lived to sorely regret that they did not question their daughter more (Continued on page two) F.H.D.

The illegal slave traffic in Africa in the nineteenth century has become a most fruitful subject-matter for innumerable books of varying literary quality. However this book proves to be one of the most interesting of the lot. It is boldly frank, especially in the portions dealing with specific instances of social equality between the African natives and the whites. The author's friend, while in Africa marries one of the native black princesses according to the latter's full tribal rites. Despite the author's liberal attitude toward the natives and their customs, he does not view this incident with the sanity that generally characterizes his treatment throughout the volume. In the chapter entitled "The Royal Marriage," the author in commenting upon his friend's marriage to the black princess states: "I have reason to believe that even African barbarieties had charms for the odd Englishman." In other words, the marriage of two sane human beings is a bar- thoroughly concerning Willie Thorp. Anyway, for a year and eight months, the affair was completely forgotten—nearly two whole years in which Roberta apparently was lost in her world of friends, socials and love affairs. She had several offers of marriage during those months but accepted none o. them. She is said to have once made the remark that she never intended to marry—and she didn't! Came the yuletide season of 1915. The Harrises prepared for a gala time. A week of shopping, mailing and receiving presents, then came Christmas morn... Christmas night. Mr. and Mrs. Harris left their home about eight-thirty Christmas evening to visit friends across the river in Portsmouth, Virginia. They left their nineteen-year-old daughter in the front room, where she was herself preparing to go out. On a table in that room were a number of the presents she had received that morning—candy, handkerchiefs and other things. There are two versions of that last parting. From the front door the parents told the girl to put the 'ey where they could get in on their return. Mr. Harris said afterwards, that Roberta's response had been "queer" to him. On the other hand Mrs. Harris says that the girl acted normally. At around eleven o'clock, the Harrises returned to their home and were surprised to find that their ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—December 28.1929 A MONTHLY REVIEW OF IMPORTANT BOOK parity; and where one of the parties happens to be a native African and the other a native Englishman it must be a mental aberration on the part of the latter to enter such a union. It is unfortunate that this attitude must foreve have prevalence Native Africans are people of rigidly enforced nal customs, an original culture, and in innumerabl instances people of considerable physical grandeur and beauty. It is uncommon, to find cases of genuine and mutual affection between the African natives and people of other races. The book is thrilling in parts. For instance, the passages describing how the natives were herded on the slave ships are vivid portrayals and information as well. The author Theodore Canot, was a notorious white slaver. He was shrewd, wily, daring and capable of violet rages. This latter attribute won for him among the natives the title of "Mr. Gunpowder." The book, as a whole, is unusually interesting and written with a facile style that renders its reading delightful. There are excellent illustrations by the eminent Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias. daughter had already returned. The lamp was shining through the front room windows—Roberta Harris had never been out! In the front hall Mr. and Mrs. Harris found their daughter writhing on the floor. the end of a bed spread clutched in her hands, a table overturned, and gift boxes scattered over the floor. It was a touching scene that followed. The unconscious girl was rushed to a hospital, but died a few hours after arrival without uttering a word The girl was poisoned.

Bertrand Russell is today well known for his contributions to the science and philosophy of mathematics, his deep and penetrating analysis of international problems and for the radical effervescences that caused his country. England, to brand him as a dangerous pacifist during the World War. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest thinkers of the modern era. This new volume continues his policy of opening new paths for speculative thinkers to tread. The author divides current philosophies roughly into three groups; first, the classical tradition which purports to explain present day tendencies in terms of the philosophical doctrines handed down by Plato and those afterwards more or less adhering to his school of thought; secondly, evolutionism which had its inception in Darwinism and which has been advocated in a bolder fashion by William James and M. Bergson; thirdly, "logical atomism," which the author himself espouses. It is virtually self-explanatory why the author has chosen the mathematical route to the problems of modern philosophy for it was in this field that he first distinguished himself. Consequently, the mathematical approach is one that is at once facile and familiar so him. There is an eminent clarity which characterizes the style of this writer, which fortunately renders nearly all of his work comprehensible to the popular mind. The volume deals with a variety of yet unsolved philosophical premises. There are chapters as follows: Logic as the Essence of Philosophy, The problem of Infinity Considered Historically, ending with an exceed- He Stopped Whiskey!

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy Lissa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep centalto, handed down from Mamba through Baxter—has attracted much attention. Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia, where she meets Frank North, a young Negro painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in Lissa. Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Hagar, who, having been told that "Prince" is none other than Gilly Bluton, whom she befriended years before, recognizes the necessity of immediate action. Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the latter's underworld activities. Thereupon, she and Mamba set out for the cabin. As they approached it, they hear Lissa's frightened voice. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— Hagar kicked the door open, and face change, glimmer with hope, relief. Then she was before him, with the table at her back. As he had advanced slowly, with his studied attempt at casualness, so now he retreated before her, while she closed the distance between them. It was like some ghastly rehearsal, carried out with utter absorption, for some momentous event that was set for the future. It was so deliberate. At the entrance of the women both faces were flung toward the door. With a shrill cry Lissa was up in Mamba's arms. Between them and Prince stood Hagar, her feet planted wide apart. Her arms held akimbo under the full coat exaggerated her already massive bulk to a preposterous breadth, and her head, held low and thrust menacingly forward, was scarcely visible to the women who stood in the shadows behind her. No word had been spoken. There had been no sound except Lissa's cry, and the waiting silence of the night had seemed to suck the shrill note from her lips and leave the four occupants of the room suspended, though in a vacuum. From the swamp came the demoniac scream of a cat—a struggle—a straining death wall—and again silence. subtle change became manifest in the appearance of the girl. She ceased trembling. Her form drew to its full height. A ripple of tautened muscle stirred under the smooth bronze of her skin where the shoulder rose above her tattered clothing. Then in a flash she was out of Mamba's arms, past the gigantic form of her mother, and upon the cowering man. Words that rose to her lips were broken there into strange, savage utterance unintelligible as speech, but more eloquent—more terrifying. One slender hand clawed downward and four livid streaks followed the flensing nails from forehead to chin. Hagar reached out an arm, and caught the girl in its curve, pressed her to her side for a moment, then passed her back to Mamba. As suddenly as it had come, the girl's passion left her. Her head went down on the old shoulder. "Oh, Grandma, he tried to—he tried to—" and her voice broke into uncontrollable sobbing. The deep, compassionate voice soothed her: "Ah know, chile. Ah know—but dat all done now, yo' wid Mamba now." She drew the shaking girl from the room and into the heavy stillness of the night. There was something terribly complete about those two, about their entire sufficiency to each other. The enfolding devotion of the old woman covering the girl and isolating her from every evil, every alien touch—Mamba and Lissa—no one else. Hagar stood for a moment like one who has been blinded by sudden intense light. Her eyes held the image, duiveringly alive, of the splendid thing that was her child. The dream pattern that she had treasured of the slender little girl was shattered, and as yet she could not take in this new and marvellous being. She was dizzy from the revelation. She was also vaguely conscious of a loneliness deeper than any that had gone before The chaos of her mind was shot through by an instinctive warning. Suddenly her brain cleared. her body tensed. She spun around and faced Bluton. The naked fear in his face gave her an exquisite pang Something deep and elemental broke free inside of her. She stood watching him. cathike, as he moved along the wall in the direction of the crap table which stood at the further end of the room. She knew what he wanted now. She let him get almost to the drawer with its brass knobs, her eyes and looked all the time. She saw his ```markdown ``` face change, glimmer with hope, relief. Then she was before him, with the table at her back. As he had advanced slowly, with his studied attempt at casualness, so now he retreated before her, while she closed the distance between them. It was like some ghastly rehearsal, carried out with utter absorption, for some momentous event that was set for the future. It was so deliberate, so mechanical in its studied advance and retreat. Then at last the wall was against the man's shoulder blades. The touch of the unyielding timber seemed to turn his limbs to water. His knees gave, and he had difficulty propping his body upright. He raised his arms before his face in a weak, defensive gesture. Hagar said, "Yo rattlesnake! Yo' would be dead now 'cept fuh me—an' naw my own gal, Lissa——" Then after a pause, "You!" Ih man found voice in a screech. It was so weak that it scarcely filled the little room—at its peak it plunged suddenly into silence. Mamba wanted to be going. She wanted to get Lissa away from that horrible place, back into the ordered peace of streets and houses. But Hagar did not come. Why couldn't the woman hurry and let them get to the automobile and away? She put the girl, who was quiet at last, out of her arms and started back to the shack. The door was open, and the draught played with the candle flame, peopling the room with lurching shadows and half lights. The old woman entered, with Lissa peering fearfully over her shoulder. Hagar stood with her back to them, her arms hanging straight and long at her sides, her bullet head thrust forward. Her huge shoulders flung a black arch of shadow over half of the wall before her. Bluton lay in a huddle at her feet. His head was twisted at a preposterous angle. The yellow of his face had gone a dark purple, and the candle flame was flung back in two cold high lights from his wide, unblinking eyes. Lissa screamed. Hagar turned heavily in her tracks and looked at them dully from raised eyes under lowered brows. Mamba advanced toward her. In her extremity her voice seemed heavy with hatred for her big bungling daughter. "Yo damned fool," she said. "See what yo' done now, eberybody at dat dance know Lissa been wid Prince. People seen me come out here. Ah ought to ha' known if Ah turned my back on yo', yo'd play hell——" Hagar buried her face in the crook of an arm and commenced to sob. "Oh, Gawd, Ma, Ah ain't stop to tink Ah only know he been hurt Lissa." Mamba wasted no sentimental pity on the broken thing upon the floor. Her whole being was focussed on the staggerin' predicament that confronted her "Get outside," she ordered, "Ah got to tink." She blew out the candle and followed them into the open, thinking aloud: "Ah got to sen' Lissa away quick. an' she got to go far. But Ah can't let she go alone, an' she ain't got no frien' to go to." Between broken sobs Hagar said surprisingly. "Ah got a frien." Mamba looked at her skeptically. "Yo' has? Where?" "Ah got a frien what's a Reverent, an' he lib in Noo Yo'k." "Yo' know whar he house is?" Hagar was getting herself in hand now and had stopped crving. "Ah got it writ in a book he gib me. He a good man—yo' needn't be 'fraid to sen' Lissa to he." "Oh, he dat Yankee nigger what used to be down here?"

They waked Slim, who grinned sleepily and leered when he saw the girl, and started him back to the village. Wher they reached Hagar's cabin she ran inside and returned in a moment with a small black book in her hand. She pressed it on Mamba, who had followed her to the door. "De name an' number is writ inside," she said. "Lissa can tell he lat she Baxte: gal—an' to 'member what he say 'bout always bein' my friend." Then Mamba handed Hagar a tendollar bill 'rom her pocketbook and gave her instructions: 'Listen! Ah been tinkin hard. Now yo' hit it cut an' hide Dat's bad, but if yo' stay roun' here, you'll be gibbin' yo' s'f away by mornin'; so dere ain't nuttin' fo' it. If Baggart catch yo' keep yo' mout' shet. Don't say so much as yes or no 'til Ah sen' my boss or Mr. Saint to talk for yo'. Ef yo' open dat fool mout' ob yourn, nottin' Ah can doll sabe Lissa. Now you unnerstan'?" Full of her plan-making, Mamba turned to leave her daughter. She felt a gentle tug at her sleeve and faced Hogar again, impatient at the delay. "Well." she snapped, "what yo' want now?" Hagar made one of her gauche childish gestures toward the automobile. "She wouldn't care so much—ef Ah go an' tell she good-bye?" Mamba caught her breath sharply, and suddenly she was no longer merely the fierce intelligence that drove that inarticulate, powerful machine in the service of the grandchild, but Hagar's own mother, feeling her child's loneliness and sorrow in her own spirit. She took one of the big, beautifully made hands and drew Hagar forward, speaking gently as they plodded through the heavy white sand: "Ah sorry, Daughter, Ah mighty sorry—Ah got t'inkin' so hahd Ah fuh- get. Ah say hard tings Ah am't mean. it ain't uh me—An jest study all de time 'bout dat gal, an my mind seem like it dry up on oduer ting." Hagar stopped beside the car. The girl sitting alone on the rear seat looked up, and the eyes of the two met. For a moment they stood so in a silence that was enoquent with emotions that speech could only have uneapened and tarnished. So long since the cord had been severed Centuries lay between them now—and yet, in that fractional part of a minute life beat out again from the heart of the big black woman tnr. bing in. her child, and coursed refluent and warm back through her own being. Hagar lifted one of Lissa's hands and humbly, yet with a certain possessive pride kissed it upon the open palm. But in a sudden tumult of emotion the girl snatched her hand away, flung her arms around her mother's neck, and kissed her again and again. The car gave a warning shudder, and the women separated. Hagar said, "Good-bye, chile. Don't be fraid. Nuttin' goin' hahm yo." And the next moment they were gone among the mists and shadows. Saint Wentworth sat in the lobby of the Pennsylvania Hotel and impatiently watched the hands of a clock that seemed to have been stricken with creeping paralysis. At noon he was to meet Valerie over on the Avenue and select the ring. It was a terribly complicated business, getting married in New York. Saturday they had got the license. Simple enough he had been told—a few minutes at the Municipal Building—that was all They had gone together, blinded by a new glamour in the air, and feeling themselves marked for public notice by the magnitude and unusual nature of the step that they contemplated. But upon their arrival at the vast downtown structure they had been both I assured and chagrined to find themselves in a queue half a blooming, sandwiched between a frankly inanimate Negro couple and a pan who made love in foreign liquid syllables. It was odd how many people had the same idea. Then there was the big room with long tables where couples sat, while Eros, in the ruise of an officious elderly man, lanced between them and explained in lucid and complete detail the meaning of certain perfectly obvious and embarrassingly personal questions. Saint, very red, tried to foreall him by explaining that they both understood. It was no use. The man was filled with the zeal of public servant who glories in doing well and conspicuously work that occasions no effort. And now to-day there were more details — more complications. The minister had to be seen again, and forms prepared. Saint had telegraphed home for a copy of his birth certificate and had not received a reply. It seemed that you could not be married in New York without documentary evidence that you had beer born. The fact that you could be seen, touched, even separated from a tee, were inconclusive evidences of existence Only eleven-twenty. No use to start yet and have to cool his heels on the Avenue. His thoughts drifted to another matter. He was brought to earth by the sound of his own name droned in a loud, monotonous voice. Good: that would be the wire about the certificate. He signalled the boy and tore open the envelope. The telegram was from his mother. It said: Mamba's granddaughter Lissa in trouble arrives New York noon train. Mamba begs you to meet and assist her. Good God! Couldn't he even be safe from the old responsibilities here, and at the one time in life when a man should be free? And (Continued on Page Four) MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by Du Bose Heyward (Continued from Page Three) Val—just about their biggest moment—buying the ring — then blissful hours at the stores and decorator's, planning for the new furnishings. And now at the exact hour when she would be awaiting him he was expected to respond to this unreasonable and insane summons. Well, he'd be damned if he would. Mamba, yes—but not to the third generation. Perhaps he could still catch Val by phone and postpone the engagement. But why think of that when he had decided against going? He tore the yellow slip, baled it up, and volleyed it at a waste-paper oaket. Then he went through an instinctive hand-washing gesture. Well, that was that. He got up and strode restlessly about the vast lobby. When he came to a standstill he found to his dismay and anger that he had paused before a telephone booth. "Go to hell!" he apostrophised it fiercely under his breath, and turned away. But a power that he was at a loss to explain kept drawing him back, filling him with a deep and inexplicable misery as long as he moved away. Mamba out of the long past with the funny string-wrapped hair the solitary fang—her savagery—her understanding tenderness. Mamba with her one idea and her everlasting persistence. What did she care if it upset his plans—Lissa—Lissa! He was reminded of the time she had made him take Hagar in at the mines. Would he never be free of Mamba's daughters? What was there about her that could hound a man across the miles and make him feel like a cur until he did her bidding? A comical old Negress a thousand miles away, and yet, somehow, he felt that he dare not go back and meet her eyes unless he had responded to her summons for help. He found himself calling a familiar number. Valerie's voice — even over the 'phone, that dewy early morning quality that made his heart hang a beat. Good God! he hadn't thought yet what to say. How could he put it? "Val. I'm desolated, broken-hearted. Promise you'll forgive me for what I am going to say. No. Not that—not that—I am sorry I scared you. It's that I can't meet you at noon. There's something else I have to do. . . . Well, it's awfully hard to explain over the 'phone. There's a girl coming up from Charleston I've got to go and meet. . . . Mamba's granddaughter Lissa. You remember her, don't you? . . . Yes, she's in some sort of trouble, and Mamba has gotten Mother to telegraph asking me to meet her at the noon train. . . . Jove, you're a dear. Three o'clock, then—at Tiffany's. You're an angel, Val." Wentworth did not at once recognise his protegee when she came up the stair from the lower level in the stream of passengers. He had been looking for the girl whom he remembered vaguely as being slender and pretty with eyes like those of Mamba and Hagar, and who, alas, would now be in trouble. It was not until he could have touched her with his hand that he recognized her. Taken from her familiar matrix and placed before Saint against the novel setting of the vast station, she stood out for the first time, not as Mamba's grandchild to be taken as a matter of course, but as Lissa At- BLOOD DISEASES—No, Matter How Bad or Old the Case or What's the cause send for FREE booklet about Dr. Panter's Treatment used successfully for over 25 years in the most severe and chronic cases.

"What luck!" he exclaimed, his expression clearing. "We'll hop in a taxi and go right up." Safely in the cab, which was threading its way toward Harlem, Wentworth was free to give his whole attention to the problem of his travelling companion. "What's the trouble, Lissa?" he asked. She sat back in her corner and with that complete faith in his willingness to assume her responsibilities that had embarrassed him in the station, told him simply and with complete self-possession what had occurred. When she had finished he gave a low, expressive whistle. "Well, I must say," he commented, "you don't seem to be afraid of the consequences as far as you are concerned."

CHARLES GOULD, 707 City National Bank, BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT kinson, with an individuality of her own Wentworth was startled. It was as though he saw her for the first time. She was clad in a modish tailored suit of dark blue with a flash of bright embroidery on collar and cuffs, and carried a small blue silk umbrella suspended from her wrist by a loop. Wentworth's glance took in the slender, superbly carried figure and the expressive face with its small full-lipped mouth and Mamba's eyes. She met his gaze and flashed him a look of surprised, almost incredulous, recognition. "Why, Mr. Saint!" she exclaimed. "What on earth are you doing here?" "Hello, Lissa," he answered. "Didn't you know that Mamba sent me a message to meet you and help you get settled?" "Why, no. You see I left in a hurry. She must have heard of your being here after she told me goodbye. That's just like Grandma. She thinks of everything." The girl's self-possession was colossal, almost disconcerting. Saint tool, her small valise. There was something at once flattering and embarrassing about the unquestioning way that she put herself in his hands. They stood under the vast dome, with scurrying humanity brushing past them, and Wentworth wondered what to do next. "Have you any place to go?" he asked. Lissa opened her handbag and produced a Book of Common Prayer. Then she opened it at the flyleaf and presented it to Saint.
