TWEI MAN WHO UNITED 3 INSURANCE FIRMS GETS HIGH HONOR Truman Gibson Awarded Harmon Gold Medal and $400 For Achievements CHICAGO.—(By Associated Negro Press) Truman K. Gibson, chairman of the board of Supreme Liberty Life Insurance company of this city, has been awarded the Harmon foundation gold medal for 1929 with an honorarium of $400. These awards were first offered in 1926, organized by the late William E. Harmon, for the purpose of giving additional stimulus for creative work to members of the Negro group and through recognition of achievement of national significance, not only to give personal recognition to such work but to open wider fields of opportunity. The awards are an insignia of honor conferred upon men and women whose creative efforts have contributed to or may become a helpful factor in American life and civilization. The honor was givtn to Mr. Gibson because of the most outstanding creative achievement in the field of business and industry among Negroes during 1929. At the time of the consolidation of Liberty Life Insurance company of Illinois, Supreme Life and Casualty company of Columbus, Ohio, and Northeastern Life Insurance company of Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Gibson was president of the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, which he had organized in 1921. He was responsible for initiating the conferences and proposing the idea which led to the consolidation of the three companies into the present organization known as the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance company with a capital of $400,000 and approximately 30 million of life insurance in force. It is understood that the award was made to Mr. Gibson not alone because of the material accomplishment of the consolidation itself, but constituting as it does the first consolidation of several representative business institutions, it has served to establish a precedent for other Negro business organizations. Further, that the consolidation marked an epoch in the business life of Negroes and points the way to combinations of still greater financial strength. Mr. Gibson is a graduate of Harvard university, and prior to his organization of Supreme Life & Casualty company he had gathered wide experience in the field of insurance through the building up of a small southern insurance company into an organization of substantial importance. Upon the consolidation of the three companies and his selection as chairman of the board he moved to Chicago, where he maintains his residence. Court To Decide $10,000 Suit Against The With interest in the outcome at high pitch, the suit of the St. Antonio hospital against the Gary American for $10,000 damages will be tried Tuesday in Gary Superior court, number three, before Judge Charles Wm. Powell In New Role In Photoplay William Powell, known throughout the moving picture world for his characterization of Philo Vance, detective hero in "The Canary Murder Case," and "The Greene Murder Case," two of the most popular films made, is seen in a different role in his lastest picture "Pointed Heels" all talking, singing and dancing production coming to the Tower theatre on Friday, Jan. 10. The production revolves around Broadway night life and gives a presentation of it that is as different and unusual as has ever been seen. ```markdown ``` The Gary American Gary Institutions Get Praise For Good Work THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN T.

TWELVE LYNCHED LAST YEAR, REPORT TWELVE LYNCHED LAST YEAR, REPORT Four Whites Are Among Victims Illegally Murdered, Says Report of NAACP NEW YORK. — Twelve known lynchings in the United States during 1929, as against 11 during the year 1928, are reported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. Florida leads the list of lynching states with four mob murders. Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas have two each, and Kentucky and Tennessee have one each against them. Of the twelve persons lynched, four were white, and of these one was a woman, Ella May Wiggins, textile worker of Gastonia, North Carolina. Among the occasions cited as bringing about the lynchings were: A dispute over the price of blackberries; altercation about work followed by stabbing; associating with white woman; and writing to white woman. E. Greenwald. Declaring that its name and reputation have been injured, the hospital filed suit against the newspaper last October as a result of an article in The American concerning the failure of the hospital to give medical aid to an injured man. The hospital's refusal to wait upon the man, it was alleged, was based upon the fact that he did not have sufficient money to pay for treatment. The man, James Hicks, of 1624 Massachusetts street, was run over by an automobile at the corner of Seventeenth and Broadway. Attorney Fritz W. Alexander, together with several other attorneys retained by the newspaper, will act as defense counsel for The American.

Office of Publication: 7 East 19th Avenue Telephone Gary 2-4660 - If Busy, Call Gary 2-3865 PRAISE WORK DONE BY GARY CHURCHES IN SERVING GROUP PRAISE WORK DONE BY GARY CHURCHES IN SERVING GROUP Noonday Business Club Gives High Praise to Some; Forgets Others High praise for local institutions and the part they played during the year 1929 in promoting the happiness and prosperity of Gary Negroes are warmly expressed last week in a resolution adopted by the Gary Noonday Business club at their Emancipation Day program at Isreal C. M. E. church, and made public late today. Gary churches and their ministers were the first to come in for commendation by the club. Their part in "administering to the spiritual needs of our people," the resolution stated, was not equalled by any other agent or organization." "We recommend," says the resolution, "that the churches expand their program to include consideration of the moral and practical needs of the groups which they serve, particularly in respect to economic problems and our larger social problems." The next institution to receive commendation by the club was the public schools which are praised in the resolution for their part in training youth for useful citizenship. A closer relationship between parents and teachers was urged, however, by the club which declared that the home and school must work together for the good of the child. Other Gary institutions and organizations to come in for high praise in the resolution were: Lake County Children's home, the Young Men's Christian association, Stewart Memorial Settlement house, Friendship Social Settlement house and Neighborhood house, the Y. W. C. A., St. John's hospital, and local lodges. The work of the Hoover administration in appointing various commissions to study crime, the Haitian rebellion, and other problems were also commended in the resolution. Although the city is favored with many advantages, the resolution concludes, there are still some important needs which must be supplied if Gary is to continue to make progress. More and larger playgrounds as well as a community council to meet and discuss local problems were two of the things stated as needed. The resolution was drafted by a committee headed by Prof H. Theo Tatum, principal of East Pulaski school, and composed of Former Councilman A. B. Whitlock, Prof. J. L. Lawson of Roosevelt annex school Miss Thyra J. Edwards of the Board of Childrens' Guardians and Mrs. Lena Harris of the Lake County Children's home. No mention was made in the resolution of the notable work being done by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Urban league, the Universal Negro Improvement association, or even of Gary's only colored newspaper, The Gary American, which, aside from championing the rights of Gary Negroes throughout the year, succeeded in securing employment for dozens of colored boys and girls as clerks in South Side shops and stores. Gary Newlyweds Figure In Mishap Mr. and Mrs. John Dickerson, 2457 Monroe, nc/wlyweds, barely escaped serious injury when the automobile in which they were returning from a trip to Champaign, Ill., crashed into a wagon parked on the highway Monday at Kankakee, Ill. Failure to see the wagon in time to avert the accident was the cause of the crash, according to Dickerson, and he and his wife were considerably shaken up. The machine in which they were riding, a Nash coupe belonging to Dr. Elizabeth Kelley-Greene, suffered damages estimated at $100.

Report of NAACP Declares Color Barriers Fast Disappearing In the Nation NEW YORK.—Enlightened public opinion in the United States and throughout the world is increasingly supporting the Negro in his efforts to achieve opportunity and to surmount the color barrier, according to a summary of the Annual Report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, made public today. "In five separate instances during the year 1929," says the summary, "public opinion North and South rallied to the Negro's plea for fair play. Two of these instances concerned the church, when not only high churchmen but editors, clergymen and numerous private citizens, repudiated color bar utterances of a Protestant Episcopal and a Catholic clergyman. Another instance occurred early in the year, when it was sought to make scapegoats of the colored crew members of the ill-fated steamship, "Vestri." Here again the United States District Attorney, the Mayor of New York, and hosts of other citizens, joined in doing honor to the colored hero of the disaster and cleared the colored sailors and firemen of any imputation of neglect. Twice on the sport field, public sentiment has rallied to the appeal for fair play. North and South there was sharp criticism of the proposal to withdraw New York University's colored star quarterback from the football game with Georgia. And criticism has been pointed at the United States Lawn Tennis Association, for barring colored players from its 'national' tournaments. 'In the field of law, the Negro's appeals to the courts have been unusually fruitful. In Virginia Negroes have won a sweeping decision against the race bar in primary elections. In the same state, a residential segregation ordinance was held unconstitutional. In Huntington, West Virginia, residential segregation by covenant among white property owners was held a restraint upon alienation. Two white men have gone to prison in Louisiana for the murder of two colored women. In Tennessee, a young colored man, Turley Wright, convicted on perjured testimony of white women, has been released. In South Carolina, Ben Bess, colored farmer was released by the State Supreme Court after serving fourteen years of a thirty-year sentence, conviction having been procured originally by perjured testi- According To Its Numerica Strength, Negro Race Entitled To More Representation NEW YORK — Speaking over the radio from Station WEVD on New Year's Day, William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People declared his conviction that the Negro ought to have at least 50 seats in the Senate and House of Representatives combined. "According to the proportion of his numbers," said Mr. Pickens," "the Negro should have today at least 50 members in the House and Senate combined. Even if representation were based on proportionate wealth, he would still be entitled to four or five members. But if representation in the government were based on hours of real hard work, he would have much more than this numerical proportion. He is at least a tenth of the entire population but puts in much more than a tenth of the working hours." In his address Mr. Pickens summarized the gains made by Negroes in the United States during the year, and pointed out the handicaps they were still struggling against, including the segregation movements, lyching and economic discrimination. mony. "These few instances from among the many results of the year's work show that not alone the courts are ready to sustain the Negro's just contentions, but that public opinion as well, is swinging to the point where it will insist upon fair play being done irrespective of race and color. "This progress was made with severely limited means, contributed in the main by a relatively small number of colored people. If the Negro really wants freedom he can more nearly achieve it by contributing during 1930 more generously and more generally, to supply the fund for extending this fight in his behalf."

It is now clearly understood that justice generally understood among men, is a question of relative strength, it is one of these principles of which the practice bears strict conformity to the crudity of our conception. Justice has utterly failed to function morally; it has been transferred from the moral to the legal realm, and even there it operates under the grossest misconception, and results in (Continued on page 4) Romance Starts In Chicago; Ends Here When Two Are Wed A romance which started in Chicago years ago and continued after high school days were over was brought to a climax in Gary Saturday evening at ten o'clock when Miss Marjorie Burrell, pretty Chicago society girl, became the bride of Mr. Booker T. Thomas, business manager of The Gary American. With only a few friends present to witness the marriage, the ceremony was performed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles N. Greene, 1956 Massachusetts street, friends of the bride and groom, by the Rev. Joseph Kelley. The couple will reside at 215 West Twenty-third avenue. The bride is well known among the younger social set in the Windy City. She is a graduate of Englewood high school. The groom is a graduate of Wendell Phillips high school and was a student at the Art Institute for two years. Before becoming identified with The American, he was a member of the advertising staff of W. B. Ziff company, nationally known advertising agency. Discovers Plants Produce Disease WASHINGTON Prof. Chas. S. Parker, head of the department of botany at Howard university and his wife have returned from a twenty-one days botanical exploration by motor car which covered the swamp areas of eastern South Carolina Georgia and the swamp and sand dunes of Florida. More than a hundred different kinds of fungus plants, many of which are disease producing and timber destroying forms were collected and will be added to the University herbarium. In addition to the fungus forms a number of rare living plants were returned and have been placed in the greenhouse of the university. into the talking cinema, she shows herself to be one of the finest actresses ever to appear on the screen. Her voice, flawless in its superb quality, is a thing of beauty, alive with bell-like clearness. The story for Miss Garbo's first all-talking vehicle is one admirably suited to her talents. The scene of the entire production is laid in France, and gives an opportunity for some splendid scenic effects. In one scene, that of the courtroom where the heroine is being tried for murder, Miss Garbo rises to unbelievable emotional heights. PUBLIC LIBRARY GARY, INDIANA HOME EDITION 1929 To Keep Faith M. That R. O. Johnson, Gary's newly inaugurated Mayor, inaugurated Monday, will keep the faith with the voters and give them, "the best administration they ever had," is the belief of his friends who declare that the mayor plans to make several more important appointments which will directly benefit the Negro. HOSPITAL TO OPEN FREE CLINIC HERE Announce Opening of Clinic at St. John's Hospital; All Welcome to Services The annual opening of the free clinic of St. John's hospital, Twenty-second and Massachusetts street, will give an opportunity for many of the city's poor and distressed to receive medical attention without cost, according to an announcement made today by Dr. R. M. Hedrick head of the institution. Date for the opening, according to the announcement, has been set for Monday, January 20, at which time all physicians and surgeons of the city will be invited to use the clinic in caring for their patients. Opening of the clinic is an annual affair in which members of the medical fraternity from all parts of the county are asked to take part. According to Dr. Hedrick, no fee will be charged any person who is not able to pay for such services as they may ask for. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to make use of the facilities offered by the hospital. Free examinations will be given to all. St. Antonio hospital, founded by Dr. Hedrick two years ago, has enjoyed amazing progress under his supervision. Some of the city's most prominent physicians are members of the attending staff and high praise for the work done by the hospital during the past year was expressed by the Gary Noonday Business club in a resolution adopted last week, and published elsewhere in this issue. According to Dr. Hedrick, a complete report of the activities of the hospital will be issued next week. Dr. Just To Study Biology In Berlin WASHINGTON — Dr. Ernest E. Just, head of the Department of zoology of Howard university sailed from New York, Thursday, for Berlin, where he will spend six months as guest investigator in the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fur Biologie, Berlin-Dahlem.

That is a narrow view. The local colored newspaper is an institution. The merchant can no more escape its influence than anybody else in the community, whether he advertises in it or not. Yet, as a consistent advertiser, his relations with the local color- ed newspaper become definitely constructive. He becomes a part of this institution without which no race or community can express itself. Whatever its merit or demerits, Fhe Gary American is an expression of the community. Literally, it is the “Voice of the People” in a sense that cannot hold true for any other medium. This institution keeps friends in touch with friends. To the who its ability it answers Who, What, When, Where, How and ty? It brings the individual out of himself. It speaks the local language. It interprets life. Week by week, it tells the story of the town, the race and the community. Most of us are so accustomed to the local colored newspaper that we take it as a matter of course. If we think anything about it at all; we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is run’ by fallible human beings. The wonder about the local colored newspaper is that it contains so few mistakes, not so many. _ To the merchant, especially, the local colored newspaper is an opportunity. His business, too, is a local institution. Unless it finds gome kind of expression in the local colored newspaper, both the paper and the business have to an important extent failed to function. Each is affected somewhat by every successive failure in this respect. 5 Tt does not cost a great deal of money to advertise in The Gary American. Most advertisers are over-judicious rather than extra- vagant. It is the continual message that counts most. Sporadic ad- ‘Vertisements now and then are of doubtful value. Perhaps they are better than no advertising at all, but every advertisement placed by a@ business house should blend into every other advertisement it places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Outstanding examples of it are to be found in the national field. Con- ditions are changing. More and more merchants are coming to rea- lize that they are losing money and prestige and power when they are not to be found in the advertising columns of the race newspaper. This is one of the healthiest signs in the field of retail merchandising. a io DNTINUOUS 10:30 10 11:30PM. BROADWAY AT 15th.

Stokes, city juvenile police womtin for the past four years, has had a very successful and productive four yeats’ work-in child guidance and protection, She was appointed to this ‘work by former Mayor Floyd Williams, January 4, 1926. For four years the hour has never been too early or too late, or the case too dan- gerous for her to rush to the call of duty and service, Attention was called to Mrs. Stokes’ rareability for organization and social work through her achievements in the local federated clubs, churches and fraternal orders. She was organ- izer and first president of the City Federation of Colored Women’s clubs and has been state chaplain of the In- diana Federation of Colored Womens’ Clubs for the past four years, She also holds the state national chair- manship of the Social Service depart- ment of the same organization. She is vice-president of the National Wo- mens’ League of Community Church- es of the World. The fraternal orders have conferred upon her similar honors, She is Past Officer in the Household of Ruth, pres- ent Matron of Mary Cruitup Chapter of the Eastern Star and Past Deputy Grand Matron of District No, 7 of the State of Indiana. But the greatest gift to her fellow- men has been given to the youths of. our city. The spirit of uplift and fel- lowship which has been so prevalent in all her’ fraternal, civic, and reli- gious work found its culmination in her juvenile police work of the south side.

The “resolution” is portrayed on a blackboard, and several children are shown signing their names under- neath it. In a letter which accom- panied the posters the motor club safety department urged teachers to present such a resolution to their pupils and to have it signed by them.

The teachings of Jesus Christ, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” is a thing of the past. Man has become selfish, man has become greedy. The justice of man is positive and not alone positive but agressive. What can the Negro hope to gain by looking to his brother man for suc- cor? It is therefore necessary that we strike out for ourselves believing as long as the strong oppresses the weak, confusion and discontent will ever mark the part of man. In pass- ing, I desire to stress the need of pro- paganda to bring out the inate quali- ties of the Negro. Propaganda through news papers, magazines and other medium has been successful in poisoning the minds of the Negro against himself. This is an enlightened age. The Negro can produce his own literature if such a manner that education along racial lines be dominant.

B. Zift Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Foreign Advertising Representatives "JOE" BOOTL A True Story of and Remarkable A Negro Prohibiti By ANTHONY WAYNE Correspondent and Special Writer. Names of Principals are Obvious Reas HELLO. Yes, this is the still, you say? Sure al all right. Tell us whe a look. Undertaker? That's g got it. Now who is this speak Names of Principals are Concealed for Obvious Reasons. HELLO. Yes, this is the prohibition unit. A still, you say? Sure about it are you? Well, all right. Tell us where it is and we'll have a look. Undertaker? That's good! All right, we've got it. Now who is this speaking?" But the connection was broken at the other end, purposely. It was not an unusual procedure. Many people are willing to tell what they know, or think they know, but they stipulate that they shall not be brought into the case. "Perhaps it is just as well," said the chief in charge of the force, "there is sometimes trouble if it is discovered who tipped us off." The chief, in this instance, called in Joe Jackson. Now "Joe Jackson" is not his baptismal name, but it is close to it. For, while many know him, and some suspect his fearless investigations, there is no need of advertising him to his personal danger and inconvenience. Besides there are regulations that forbid the exploitation of individuals because the unit operates as quietly as possible under the circumstances. Joe, however, is an ace. He operates among the Negro populations of several large cities, moving about as ordered. He is a quiet fellow, large, good looking, intelligent. He has won a reputation for honesty and integrity and fair dealing under many trying circumstances. There is no question as to his bravery either. The chief talked with Joe over his expanse of mahogany. The telephoned tip had in the meantime been typewritten. Joe read it through as his chief talked. He smiled. He knew the section. But let him tell his own story: "First I went to the files and found out that there had been previous complaints, mostly anonymous concerning this place. Investigation had always been fruitless though, and no action had been taken for it was conviction which the chief sought and not just raids without purpose," Joe explained. "Taking along an assistant, we slipped off to make a call on our undertaker. This time I thought best to make a direct attack. It seemed to be the last thing that would be expected and so perhaps. I reasoned, the very way that might succeed. "I frankly told the 'undertaker' our errand. He lived in a prosperous neighborhood and had his office at his residence. He gave us permission to search his home from cellar to garret. He was very polite about it and most accommodating. In fact, he was too much so. It made me suspicious. But try our best, we could not find a single drop of the stuff anywhere. "Then we got together for a few minutes where we could not be overheard and I talked the situation over with my assistant. Apparently every place in the house had been thoroughly covered. Then I remembered the slip which the chief had given to me referred to the fact that there was a hearse. None of us had seen a hearse about, and if we had we would probably not have immediately examined it any more than the inside of the piano. "But I determined to ask about the hearse. The owner when approached—he was never far away said that he had a hearse and that he rented it out for funerals. When asked where it was then, he said it was in his garage. The garage in turn was on the back of the lot and well overgrown with vines. There was no prominence to it. --- The Gary American are Concealed for reasons. the prohibition unit. A about it are you? Well, where it is and we'll have good! All right, we've king?" "Nothing seemed out of the way until I determined to have a look inside the hearse. Of all the places for a still! We opened it up and found a fully equipped, ten gallon still, which apparently had just completed its task of turning out corn whiskey." The image shows a group of people standing in front of a building. They appear to be engaged in a discussion or meeting. The building has a large window and a door, and the people are wearing formal attire. The background is mostly empty, with no other significant details visible. THE BATTLE FOR THE NEW YORK CITY CENTER Eighteen thousand barrels of beer were ordered destroyed by the Assistant United States Attorney near the end of Long Bridge, Va. Photo shows the federal agents assisted by colored laborers, destroying the beer. "Give us the keys to the garage,' I bluntly asked the fellow. "But you can see inside of the garage from the windows? You surely don't need to bother about going in,' he answered. "I detected a note of real anxiety in his voice. "Do we want the keys?' I asked of the young fellow with me, at the same time winking to suggest his answer. "Sure we do,' he answered. "All right, Boss, sorry, but guess we'll have to have those keys,' I said. "Though very reluctantly, they were eventually forthcoming. "Inside the garage everything appeared as it should. There was even a faint odor of formaldehyde. Nothing seemed out of the way until I determined to have a look inside of the hearse. "Of all the places for a still! We opened it up and found a fully equipped, ten-gallon still which apparently had just completed its work of turning out corn whiskey." Later Jackson observed that the putting of the still in the hearse was most fitting, judging from the chemist's analysis. "There should have been labels marked with skull , ten- d just t corn THE MILITARY CENTER Five thousand cases and three hundred barrels of choice liquor seized by the Customs guards on the rum ship, Bulko, going up in smoke at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The liquor was valued at $600,000. It has often been Joe's duty to set fire to whiskey valued at many thousands of dollars. and crossbones on the bottles," he said with a weary smile. Speaking of a still in a hearse suggests Jackson's recent experience as a grave digger. This was in order to get certain necessary evidence. Joe had, in this instance, taken a day off to attend the funeral of an old friend. The trip to the cemetery was a long one, extending to the outskirts of the city. From force of habit, perhaps, or from hard training, Joe watched the houses along the road. Nothing seemed out of place; everything was quiet until he observed two men in back of a house that was close to the cemetery. In fact, the yard CHEMISTRY Photo shows an analysis of poison whiskey showing the sample of poison liquor in one tube and the results after adding a little plain water to the same mixture in another tube. Samples of liquor confiscated by prohibition agents in their raids are sent to the chemical section, where they are examined and placed on file. of the house adjoined the cemetery at one side. As the funeral procession went by, the men glanced furtively about as if they were afraid of being seen. Noticing that, and the location, and sensing rather than knowing anything more, Joe began to weigh his obligations to the government and to the dead friend. The very quality that had made him an ace in the unit commanded him to make a telephone call. So he stopped at the cemetery gate for the purpose. Then he sauntered back a few hundred feet toward the house that he had observed, for another look. There was nothing to verify his Clean Fiction Human Interest Features analysis of poison whiskey showing son liquor in one tube and the results of plain water to the same mixture. Samples of liquor confiscated by their raids are sent to the chemical they are examined and placed on file. The Customs guards on the rum was valued at $600,000. It has often sands of dollars. suspicions except a peculiar dank smell, slightly reminiscent of the musty odor behind swinging doors in bygone days, but no one but an amateur would feel justified to make a raid merely because of an odor. There had to be conclusive evidence of manufacture or sale. Such evidence is frequently very difficult to obtain. The suspicious appearing men at the suspected house were evidently located advantageously. There was no place of concealment nearby except possibly some tombstones. Spending a night among tombstones during the fall months did not have much appeal, but it seem- (Continued from Page One) JOE PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK WITH BOOTLEGGERS "For You" Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT for CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION, BILIOUSNESS 2 continued from Page One) ee to be in line of duty. Buttoning his coat, sliding his hands deep into his pockets, and startir on a long walk that would bring in in view of the suspected house late in the day and after the cemetery gates had closed, he determined to see what he could see, cool weather or not. Hid Behind a Tomb When the sun had gone down he moved cautiously over to a tomb facing the house and crouched in the shrubbery that surrounded it. He settled down to watch and wait for possible developments. For three long, cold hours nothing at all happened. He had just about decided to climb the fence and strike for the distant suburban street car terminus when his straining eyes caught a yellow pencil of light from out of the door of the blackened house. Then the light widened to about an inch in width. "We've brought the yeast," whis- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 11.1930 pered one of two men standing on the porch. The voice carried distinctly through the frosty air. The door opened quickly and as quickly closed, permitting two men with a satchel to enter. Jackson knew that he would need a warrant—and more evidence. He would get the legal document on suspicion and the evidence, if there were any, later. Thus, early the next morning an unkempt, tired looking colored man presented himself at the superintendent's office of this cemetery. His coat was threadbare and out at the elbows. Safety pins instead of buttons held it together. He was a forlorn sight and enough to arouse the pity of any one as he stood hunched and old. "I want a job as a grave digger," he said. "I'm experienced and can d good work." The superintendent didn't wait long in deciding. Pointing to where the shovels were kept, he sent him to an obscure corner of the cemetery and ordered him to work. All day long he worked, shoveling and digging and filling graves. It was hard work, back-breaking, especially so, since he was not used to it. When evening came and he offered to work overtime, the superintendent showed him the best way out and left him alone. This was the chance he wanted. He immediately transferred his operations to the street side of the cemetery, less than a hundred feet from the suspected house. A man standing in the front of the house regarded him with bored interest. Then he went about his job of shoveling the cold, heavy earth. "I wanted that man to offer me a drink," Jackson explained, "but he appeared uninterested in my welfare. He didn't suspect my identity, I felt sure, but he didn't appear very friendly, either. "Then I decided to startle him, and immediately went about laying out six graves by digging the hard earth and sod away. These were all parallel to the cemetery fence and were in plain sight of the man at the suspected house. This had the desired effect. It worked on his superstitions. The man called to someone inside, and he in turn called to another, until all three of them were watching me. "At last one crossed the road, saying as he came up: 'How many more you got to dig there?' "Eleven!" Jackson related that he answered on the spur of the moment. But he spoke without apparent interest and continued his work with his shovel. "Eleven!" almost shouted the man. "What's the matter? Fire, accident, or explosion?" "It does seme sort'a strange," the grave digger observed, "But I guess that's the way it goes these days. Sometimes people won't die for months then all of a sudden a hundred will up and die at once. I don't I like it. It gives me a pain. Look't all the work it makes, and in the cold weather too! Now if I could well, if it wasn't for this prohibition, I could stand it better." Jackson thus played his trump card. He had been working industriously while he talked. He stopped and looked at the visitor, saving: "You know, I'd give five bucks right now for a pint of the real stuff. It's mighty cold tonight, boss." With that he returned to his digging. The man on the other side of the fence looked cautiously around to see if anyone was near and spoke n a low voice: "You came to just the right place, colored man; drop over to the house when you get through and maybe I can fix you up." Jackson was duly appreciative and thankful. When it became dark he put his shovel in the tool house by (Continued on page five) MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson -- No.11 Text by ROLFE DELLON Drawn by FRED B.

Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Red their arrival, offers Lissa the protection of his home—address given to her mother many years before by Gr Lissa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep contralto, 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. Lissa is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the fact that she is told to be proud of her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damndest" to be white. Gardinia Whitmore, a mulatto beauty and the true flapper type, seeks Lissa's companionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia's overtures. Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild" party. After much inward conflict Lissa consents to go. But she soon abandons her accustomed reserve and becomes the scintillating life of the party. Prince, the village sheik, whose favor is courted by all the fair damsels, is attracted to Lissa. He proceeds to give Lissa a "good time." Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Lissa introduces Mamba to Prince as the young couple are about to go upon another of their frequent auto rides. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor. Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spell only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissa have disappeared from the bunch. Gardinia makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately notifying her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance. 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 approach it, they hear Lissa's frightened voice. When they open the door they find Lissa seated in a corner with her dress torn and arms locked about her legs below the knees. "Prince" stands over her in a threatening manner. Lissa leaps into Mamba's arms and together they leave the cabin. Hagar, completely forgetting herself, unleashes her great strength upon the cowering and ungrateful "Prince," and strangles him to death with her bare hands. Hagar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissa to New York City, where Saint Wentworth meets her. Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson, who, upon their arrival, offers Lissa the protection of his home—especially after Lissa produces the address given to her mother many years before by Grayson. —NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY— INSTALLMENT XV The fowls had quieted down again after the first cock-crow, and she saw them, misty blobs of darkness, ranged along a limb against the sky. That meant a good hour of darkness ahead of her. She drew her skirt up and tucked it high like a field hand's, leaving her long legs bare to the knees and unimpeded. Then she set off with a free stride in the direction of Bluton's shack. The moon had set, withdrawing its diffused radiance from the misty west, so that now even the solid mass of the swamp toward which she journeyed was invisible against the horizon. But the tides of life had definitely set toward the new day, faint as yet, but stirring along the earth in little exhilarating waves, filling the air with those subtle vibrations that are the precursors of light. Through the gloom the big free-striding figure of the woman advanced. The movement about her quickened. She threw a glance behind her, and high in the east, she saw a finger of light touch the mist. Then suddenly she was upon that hour of the twenty-four when Earth recapitulates her creation, when in a brief cosmic atavism she slips back to her wild beginnings. The void through which Hagar moved no longer hung poised in inertia. Free-running tides of life set it swingnig and pulsing. The mist lifted and divided itself into vast, slow-moving bodies that hung close to the ground and hesitated until some unseen force seized them and whirled them together in silent chaos. The woman stopped in the road, touched by the magic of it, and stood gazing about her. She saw vague, inchoate masses heaped upon the dim earth. She saw these mases obliterated by the mist, and when she looked again, the curtains were withdrawn and the young The Stormy C A man is being pulled down a ladder by another man.

The light gathered speed. It poured along the ground, dividing tree from tree. It lifted into the branches that still clutched at retreating mists and peopled them with separate leaves. Then, as at a given signal, the world burst into sound. Birds shrilled from the casena bushes, and like an ominous call Hagar heard the teeming life of the swamp awake and lift its composite voice. She had been tricked by beauty, and day had taken her unawares. She broke into a dog trot. It was imperative that she reach the shack before people were up and about. The voice of the swamp grew louder, and now, against its gloom, she saw the squat ugly bulk of the shack. Bluton was lying where she had left him. Quickly she bent over, gathered him up and flung him upon her shoulder. Then, casting a hasty glance around, she went out and closed the door. She had only a hundred yards to travel for cover, and this was fortunate, for, as she left the shack, the sun pierced the mist and drenched the clearing with light. It outlined the huge figure of the woman with fire, and cast a Gargantuan shadow before her as she laboured forward beneath her rigid and grotesquely posturing burden. She extended an arm and parted a curtain of vines, then she passed through into welcoming gloom. Black ooze squirted between her toes and covered her feet. She heaved a deep sigh of relief and paused to take her bearings. First she must dispose of the body, and to do this most effectively she must penetrate to the heart of the swamp where no one would be likely to find it. She bent forward and shifted the burden from her shoulder to her arched back. Then she set off as briskly as possible, tearing a Career of Ja A man in a striped sweater runs away from a dog that is chasing him. Jack was merely made more eager by these outbursts. He trained intensively and thoroughly. To prove his excellent physical condition he wagered that he could out-run a kangaroo. He won the bet, and in the bargain set such a vigorous pace that the kangaroo toppled over dead. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 11. 1930 way through the matted growth with her right hand while she steadied the body with her left. But this position caused her to advance with lowered head and eyes fixed on the pools of shallow water through which she waded. At first this pleased her, for the little mirrors flung back pictures of sky seen through swaying cypress, with small white clouds tangled in their branches. But presently she became aware of the reflection of an object that projected over her shoulder and looked down into the water, as she was doing. She paused, and the reflection did likewise. Then she recognised its cause as the head of the corpse which hung over her shoulder close to her own. With the first sense of uneasiness that her deed had brought to her she shifted her load so that it would no longer gaze downward and started forward again. But with an almost animate persistence the body moved with each stride, and gradually the round, blank silhouette again eclipsed the miniature skies through which she waded. Now her anger rose, and she splashed heavily through the water, shattering and dispersing its reflections. An hour passed, and the sun, now well over the tree-tops, commenced to draw a thin steam cut of the swamp. The din of voices that had heralded day commenced to abate, settling in drowsy diminuendo into an almost complete silence. Then as Hagar reached the dense growth that clogged the central area of the morass and made progress difficult, the air about her broke into a shrill cuminous whine, and a black cloud of mosquitoes enveloped her, settling like dust on head, shoulders, and legs. Involuntarily she struck out with both hands. With a heavy splash her burden fell from her back and commenced to settle slowly into the semi-fluid ooze. Slapping wildly at the maddening cloud, and with her skin on fire from the poison, Hagar turned her back on the body and broke savagely through the tangle in search of one of the little islands that rise through the water of the swamp and offer a slight harbourage from the pest. At last she found it, a knoll of high ground, lifting out of the cypress knees, and having above it an irregular circle of opaque blue-gray sky. Crouched over almost on all fours, with prehensile hands tearing her way through the undergrowth, the great woman emerged like a prehistoric creature quitting its primal slime, and climbed out upon the knoll. For a moment she sat panting heavily, her face and arms streaming with sweet and blood from stings and thorn lacerations. Then from her pocket she drew a bandana handkerchief, a clay pipe, tobacco, and matches. She mopped her face, filled the pipe and lighted it, then sat gulping the acrid smoke in great draughts and blowing it in a cloud about her. The last of the mosquitoes took reluctant flight, and with a long sigh she lay back on the tough swamp grass to think things out. She realised with relief that there was no occasion for speed. Beyond the swamp lay a broad belt of open and populous land planted in truck HAGAR PAYS A DEBT $30,000 $5,000 BURN'S SHARE JACK'S SHARE The day of the flight was December 26, 1908. The representation of the press was the largest that had ever witnessed a flight up to that time. Out of a purse of $35,000, Jack's share was but $5,000. This inequality of terms was due to Jack's anxiety to bring about the flight. farms, and this must be crossed at night if she would escape detection. She need not resume her journey, then, for several hours, and this was the best place to wait. She ate breakfast from her package of provisions, and refilled her pipe. Already her fatigue was passing, and her mind commenced to turn over her problem, dwelling upon its various aspects. Usually, when Mamba had told her what to do, that ended it, and she gave the matter no further thought. But now, with the realisation that the guiding genius of that intelligence had gone from her, gone perhaps forever, a sense of individual responsibility bore down upon her and forced her to study and reason on her own account. Mamba had had to think mighty quickly there in the dark with Lissa waiting to hurry away to safety. And Mamba did not know this country as she did. Did not know Proc Baggart, for one thing. Mamba's plan depended for success entirely upon her escape: her ability to traverse the mainland and reach one of the Sea Islands where there were almost no white folks, and where the Negroes would hide that big clumsy body of hers from the police so that she could not be caught and questioned. Her train of thought broke off, and for a moment her mind was a clean blank; then vividly the image of Bluton intruded itself. She saw his limbs jutting woodenly from the water, and black ooze creeping toward his open eyes. Poor Gilly—she couldn't hate him now. Then she wondered if he would hate her. If he would forget that she had saved him once and remembered only that she had strangled him and left him to rot in the black mud of the swamp. Well, what was done was done, and there was no use to worry about it. Now, if she reached the outer edge of the swamp by sundown and waited an hour, then set out to the southward -- But Gilly hated the dark. "Bright lights," he would say, "gimme de bright lights." Yes, to the southward, that was what she must think about—thirty miles to Edisto Island. By fast travel she could do that by sunrise. Her thoughts came slowly, they made short rushes, stumbled, brought up against obstacles, like a child learning to walk. By sunrise. . . She'd not risk the bridge—but swim across below it. . . Perhaps if Gilly hated the dark so he he wouldn't stay where she had left him. "Saint Helena Island," she said suddenly, out loud. She had heard lots of talk about Saint Helena—two nights farther away—maybe three—thousands of niggers there—lodge members—if she could get there and tell a lodge sister that she was a "Vestal Virgin" they'd hide her sure. The "Virgins" always stood together — even their own men couldn't find out their secrets. . . When dark came on and Gilly couldn't see the stars—only black water—what then. . . Yes, the "Virgins" always stuck up for each other. She remembered once when—He'd be so lightened maybe he'd break loose. In the hot sunlight Hagar's blood was suddenly chill. She mopped her face with the bandana. Then she refilled and lighted her pipe. The Reverend FRED B. WATSON THURS. VS. JOHNSON Twenty-five thousand spectators attended. Hundreds formed in line 24 hours before the fight began in order to obtain good seats. While other hundreds were turned away for lack of seating capacity. There were fans from all over the world, a number of whom were in sympathy with Jack 3 Grayson knew what he was talking about. He had said right out in church that spirit's couldn't walk. Even old Maum Vina believed that and she had been almost a conjure woman herself with her herbs, and her money in the road. She would think about the Reverend awhile. He always wore that shroud. . . Yes, Gilly would forget that she had saved his life once. . . He'd only remember that she had strangled him and left him with his eyes full of black water. The Reverend—the Reverend—Hagar made a desperate effort to visualise him, but his face eluded her—he was only a column of whiteness against a wall that had a cross painted on it. What had he said that day when he took Maum Vina's hope away from her? . . . Spirits only lived in heaven or hell. . . . That was it. The terror that had been pressing in upon her was suddenly dissipated. Again her mind was a clean blank. She got to her feet and moved about the island, stretched her limbs, and again became conscious of the hazy sunlight that beat down upon her. She saw that the sun was directly overhead, and she realized that she was hungry. Opening her lunch she ate heartily of her cornbread and cold meat, then lay on her belly and drank a few swallows from the side of the island where the water was clearest. A sense of well-being pervaded her body. Why worry? She'd be on Edisto by to-morrow morning. Likely as not they would never find Bluton and think he had gone away. Then Lissa would always be safe. Some day, a long time off, she might even get back to see Mamba again and hear all about Lissa from her. She stretched her length on the grass, and presently, in the steamy narcotic noon heat, she dropped into sleep. She saw Bluton turn slowly over in the mud. She saw the rigid knee and elbow joints give and the man stand upright. Then she saw him following her path through the swamp, but without effort, and this was strange, for his eyes were blind with swamp ooze. Briars that had impeded her did not detain him. He parted the vines and thrust his face into the clearing. She opened her eyes in a stare. And there he was. After the passage of an indeterminable space of time the apparition faded. Hagar was terrified, but she knew what she would have to do before she proceeded on her way. Fighting mosquitoes with tobacco smoke and flailing arms, she retraced her steps and with incredible labour of body and agony of spirit dragged the corpse to the island. Rigor mortis was passing, and Hagar composed the limbs decently, and bathed the face and eyes with her handkerchief. Then, leaving it, gazing up into the open sky, she set off for the outer edge of the swamp. Her spirit soared, her step became light and sure. It seemed that only now was she free of the actual physical incubus. She stretched her arms wide and straightened her broad shoulders. Gilly would rest easy now with the sun in his face all day and (Continued on Page Four) Mamba's Daughters By DuBOSE HEYWARD 4 (Continued from Page Three) the stars keeping him company at night. She was shed of him at last free. She made surprisingly good time, and it was still afternoon when she noticed that the trees before her were no longer a solid wall but showed thin places where the light filtered through from the open fields beyond. She was in splendid trim for the journey, her senses keen, her muscles vigorous. In contrast to the depression of the morning she waited in excited anticipaton for the coming of night. Out beyond the trees, where the sun still lay heavy and warm, an abominable mongrel hound rolled over in a broom-straw field, yawned, lifted a fretful hind leg and scratched his mangy ribs. Twenty feet away cottontail took alarm, hoisted its white ensign astern, and sailed silently away toward the cover of the swamp. A vagrant air caught the scent of the rabbit and trailed it past the nostrils of the somnolent cur. The animal raised its muzzle and tongued, long and quaveringly. From a neighboring hamlet half a dozen answers sounded, bell-like in the heavy silence, and the broom straw commenced to sway to the threshing of excited tails. With her confidence at its height, Hagar heard them coming. An icy hand seized her heart, contracted about it, and her blood crawled frozen through her veins. Dogs! A primal terror that was proof against argument and reason silenced both and paralysed her brain. The clear, high, unceasing rhythm of the tonguing shook along her nerves in waves of exquisite terror. A strange guiding force broke the inertia of her body and worked a subtle change in her appearance. Her nostrils quivered. Her hearing became more acute. She faced the sound and commenced to retreat silently, warily. Her back touched the trunk of a great live oak. She spun around. Then she found herself climbing, reaching always for higher limbs, swinging herself up, panting—trembling. When she reached the top branches she crouched in the heavy foliage and peered down through the leaves and moss. They were nearer now, and the cry had accelerated until it was a taut rope of sound that had one end in her body and that shortened with every second. The dogs had gotten Ned. He had been loose for two weeks after he had cut Bluton. He would have got clean away but for the dogs. The pack passed almost directly beneath her perch. She could scarce retain her hold upon the branches as she peered down. Then she saw it for what it was: the flash of a small tawny body with a bobbing white spot, and the parcel of yelping mongrels. Slowly reason returned. They could not have found Gilly yet. Nobody knew he had been killed. She took herself in hand and fought the weakness of fear. She became conscious of sunlight about her, sky above, and, just below, the plateau of treetops. A shadow swept over her, and she raised her eyes. Scarcely twenty feet away she saw a buzzard, the rondure of his belly—the blue-black wings—the baleful, questing eyes. He was not sailing idly, but winging Win With Lucky Lure HAVE GOOD LUCK Don't worry about bad luck. Get everything you want and be happy.

O. Fox 1209, Chicago, Ill. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 11. 1930 purposefully eastward. Then another and another flashed past with a sort purring sound of wings against air. A black premonition caused her to turn her head and follow their flight to its destination. She knew in that moment that she had lost. To the eastward, over the spot where the island lay among the trees, the air was black with flying shapes. They sailed in the formation of a waterspout, wide and slow moving at the top but narrowing and whirling faster and faster as it descended until the base disappeared among the treetops like a pointing finger. She looked westward again and saw the air lanes dotted with still other shapes winging steadily down from the rookery at the western extremity of the swamp. So Gilly had won. He hadn't been afraid of the dark, after all. What he had in his mind was that she must bring him out into the open where the buzzards could find him and tell Proc Baggart. Now she knew that it was useless to proceed. The strength of her muscles that could carry her through a race with the living would be unavailing against the cunning of the dead. Gilly had proved that Grayson was wrong. Her gaze was drawn back to the eastern skyline and the whirling column of wings. In the great emptiness of sky it would be visible for miles. Perhaps already Gilly had been missed and searching parties were hurrying along the trail that she had broken that morning. Suddenly, there, in the moment of acceptance of the inevitable, a miracle occurred. Somewhere in the inner depths of the woman's soul, in some remote and secret abiding place, a bolt snapped back, a door opened, and a new courage flooded her being. This was not merely the old force that had always fortified her against physical suffering. It was something radiant that shook through her body in a swift, clean ecstasy.

All feeling of urgency left her. No need for speed now. No need even for Mamba. She herself would be sufficient for the event. A strange and beautiful sanity lay across her mind like a shaft of light. She turned it this way and that, and many dark and obscure things were made plain to her. She knew that Mamba had been right about Lissa all the time, that she did not matter of herself, except that now, at last, she was going to give her child something of value; something that she could always remember. Squatting on her limb, with only sky above her and treetops below, her mind turned on Mamba's plan for her, and she saw its great flaw. The white men would take her, and they would want to know everything in her mind. She might try to hide Lissa away in some dark corner where they could not find her, but she knew that would not avail. She had seen other Negroes try concealment, but Baggart and the others had so many ways. Their minds could dig and dance and circle until, at last, cut it came. Then, suddenly, she was upon the answer. Her mind seized upon the idea, turned it over, discarded nonessentials, built logically, beautifully, completely. The moment had come. She was ready. It was past ten o'clock, and Davy wanted to shut up shop and go home. He was the commissary manager now and he frequently kept open until late hours, especially in fever season, when there were no white folks around and the Negroes would gather and talk.

At one time she was one of the prettiest girls in her neighborhood. She had beaux a-plenty. She had a lot of friends and finally she got married. Right then she forgot all about the things that had been most important before.. She had a home of her own, she got busy taking care of it and part of the time she worked away from home. Her days were busy, there was no question about that. Weeks went by, then months and after a while years. Then she suddenly found that her husband was forgetting her entirely. At first she was broken heaerted. She cried and refused to go out anywhere. Everything was a wreck. The life she had been living so contentedly was something that was gone. This is what she tells me in her letter but there is something more. Suddenly she woke up to the fact that possibly the blame was not all her JOE PLAYS HI WITH BOO (Continued from Page Two) the superintendent's office and strolled toward the lone house.

She took herself in hand and before her mirror studied herself just as though she were an entire stranger. She dug up an old photograph and studied that photograph and then she studied herself again and right there decided that she was not out of the game after all. She had been attractive once—and her study of the mirror showed her that she had lost that attractiveness. She wasn't the girl her husband had married and from that minute on she set out to be that girl again. I can't tell you here the things that she tells me in this letter but there is a reason why I have passed this little story to you. A good many letters come to my desk from women who tell the same story. They want to know why their husbands are forgetting them—and the only answer I can give them is that they are losing the attractiveness that they once had. They are forgetting to keep physically fit; they are forgetting that a pretty face and a graceful body do mean something in this world's happiness. If you are losing your husband's affections, if you feel he is interested in some other woman, remember that you have a part to play in the game and that the sooner you get to playing it, the sooner you will be sure of use of the telephone and the arrival of the wagon. Found Busy Still "In one room there was a great still going full blast, and a row of barrels containing alcohol," Jackson explained. "There were jars of chemical coloring and essences of various liquors used to give flavor and taste. 'There was a bottle of oil to give the moonshine 'bead,' and enough labels and corks to stock a warehouse." Many and varied have been the hiding places that have come under the suspicious eye of Joe Jackson. No one, for example, would wonder at a man filling his gasoline tank in his machine. Too ordinary, Perhaps! "We caught a fellow that thought he had played it safe by having a two-compartment tank," Jackson laughed. "One side was for gas and the other for bootlegging. When he poured the latter in from a can, no one thought it anything but gas. However, the fellow used to make frequent trips to another city, and that aroused the curiosity of neighbors. Then some of the neighbors smelled his 'gas' and it didn't smell like the proper kind. Well, we got a tip, and soon we had the man." Among other unique hiding places Jackson tells of a colored janitor who should have the prize. "We located a long tube that had been placed in a fire house of a certain office building," Joe said. "By unscrewing the nozzle of the hose it was an easy matter to slip the container in the hose. Just what would have happened if the water pressure had been turned on is a matter that caused me to wonder and the owner too. Guess there would have been a spray of real 'fire water.'" "There was a decided dearth of dandelions in one section of the city, that one of the men noticed and mentioned at the office," Jackson continued. "I thought nothing of it until I noticed a group of children with large baskets who seemed very busy in hunting the little plant. When I trailed them I found their mother, a laundress. Measuring her washtub, it was evident that there was more room than appeared to the eye, so beneath the soiled clothes was discovered a false bottom and within there was found a fairly good quantity of dandelion wine. Searching still further other apparatus was located." But even the ace of prohibition has his troubles. There are plenty of unlucky trips and ones that do not (Continued on page seven) The Illustrated Feature Section will soon resume the notable "great Negroes" series of stories, of which Mr. J. A.

Keen observers all, they were immediately aware of a change in the woman. They had known her as a rather silent person who upon occasions, such as lodge meetings, passed suddenly to the other extreme of temperament and indulged in almost violent bursts of animal spirits. Now, looking into her face, they sensed something new and disturbing. Her heavy features were in repose, but she conveyed an impression of smiling down upon them from a height. Her eyes were wide and unusually bright, and as she crossed the room toward Davy there was immediately evident a new coordination of movement that invested her great bulk with a sort of massive dignity and made her appear almost majestic to the mystified onlookers. When she reached the high counter, she turned her back to it, rested her elbows on it, and stood looking out over the heads of the Negroes, who had resumed their seats and 1930 Suffered.a Long Time MRS.

For a long moment she stood so. She did not seem to realize that it was time to shut up the store and go home. She seemed to think that she had all the time in the world. Finally, as though she were not speaking to them at all but to someone who stood at their backs, she put her first, inexplicable question: "Any ob yo' folks eber hear ob a nigger killin' herself by what de white folks calls committin' suicide?" Before her, eyes showed white glints here and there. Heads turned as by a common impulse, then faced her quickly again. A woman's voice said, "Fuh Gawd' sake, Baxter, don't talk dat talk!" Silence. Then a man said, "Everybody know nigger nebber kill herself." "'Cause nigger ain't worry herself dat much," came the answer. "Tain't always goin' be like dat," Baxter said in a slow, musing voice, as though she were thinking aloud. "Time comin' when nigger goin' worry jes' like white folks, an' den Gawd goin' show 'em what to do when he trouble get too deep fur he to wade t'rough." The fixed attention of the group broke before a wave of uneasiness. Bodies shifted, and someone started to speak. But now Baxter looked down, and her glance travelled from face to face. "Anybody seen any'ting ob Gilly to-day?" she asked in a matter-of-fact voice. The tension broke. Several of the Negroes laughed nervously. A number of voices were raised in negative answers. But her next question alarmed them again by its irrelevance. "Anybody seen any buzzard roun' here to-day?" Yes, they had all noticed buzzards over the swamp. Somebody had lost a hog, no doubt, or maybe a dead mule had been dragged out there. Hagar stood apparently debating the matter, her gaze again fixed upon the air over the heads of the Negroes. Then with a faint smile she turned to Davy and motioned to a shelf where several dusty account books lay. "Get down dat oldes' book, Davy, an' bring um here." The man obeyed and placed it on the counter before her, studying her the while with his bright, disturbed eyes. "Now turn back twelve year 'til yo' comes to a man by de name Baxter. Ah gots a promise to keep." Davy spun the yellow pages, found what he sought, then raised his eyes interrogatively. "How much he owe when he done get drownded?" The man peered at the fading pencil scrawl. It was a dollar and a quarter, he informed her. Hagar drew a ten-dollar bill from her pocket. The yellow-back was an unusual sight in the commissary, and the Negroes, their curiosity getting the better of their alarm, crowded forward to see. Still holding the money, she indicated the large glass jar of "jawbreakers" on the counter. "An' how THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. S. CHARLES GOULD PORO FOR HAIR AND SKIN much for dat bottle ob candy?" "De whole t'ing?" he asked in amazement. "Sure, de whole t'ing." "Well, dere mus be two hundred in dere. Dat'll be two dollar." With a broad gesture Hagar lifted the jar, withdrew the stopper, and poured the contents in a cataract of red and white out over the counter. "Help yo'selves," she invited. "An' now dat keg ob bounce. How much dat?" Davy, in an incredulous voice, opined that three dollars would pay for it. "You niggers get to dat keg and fill yo'selves up," she commanded. "Ah all de time been wanting to gib yo' a party, but Ah ain't had no free money till now." Slowly they withdrew in the direction of the keg, and Hagar stood looking after them with something of her old childlike wonder in her smile. She turned back toward Davy.

An' Ah ain't done so bad by yo' name." Then she spoke directly to Davy: "What he all come to, Son?" He computed the account at six dollars and a quarter. She handed him a bill, and, as he took it, she said with a spurt of fierce and uncontrollable exultation in her voice: "Don't gimme de change, Son. Take um to de do' an' t'row um far an' high.

It is as though the Baxter whom he had known, and even the strange nature who had been there a mount before, had gone quietly out and another woman had entered. She said in an incisive tone of command, "Now get a pen 'n' paper, an' be down what Ah say. Time's pass', an' Ah got to be gettin' along in." She raised her voice and Zed, "Come here, all yo' niggers. Ah int yo' to swear to dis writin' Ah's An' to gib Davy." When he was ready she dictated a clear, steady voice, never hesiling for a word, retarded only by the deliberation of the writer. 'Las' night Ah strangle Billy Blun to deat' wid my two han'. Ah um 'cause he use' always tuh my man, an' he git sick ob me an' ow me 'way. Dere ain't nobody re but me when Ah kill um. Dere n't nobody know nuttin' bout um up' me. Dat's all. Now sign um exter an' gimme de pen so's Ah n make de mark." The Negroes stood goggling at her, trifled into attitudes of incredul- horror, fear. Davy leaned over the paper like an automaton that had in down, its motive power ceasing file the pen point hovered over the feet. Hagar stamped her foot impatient- "Get on and sign um," she com- mended. "De time's close now, an' got to go." A woman broke through the circle, shing the paralysed Negroes to right and left. It was old Vina. She is as frightened as anyone, but she did courage. She laid hold upon exter's arm and pulled her around. "Wake up, gal, wake up an' talk trut'," she pleaded. "Dere ain't en a night sence yo' come here it yo' ain't slep' all night in my pom." She turned to the gaping owd. "Don't yo' b'liebe she. Yo' eggers—ain't yo' see she ain't right she head?" Baxter brushed the old woman way like a fly. She was shaken by storm of passion that flung the cicle from her like physical force, they backed away, knowing at last at their first impression when she did entered was right. Baxter had st her wits. She glared at them od stamped thunderously upon the por. 'Ah's talkin' trut'," she shouted, n' ef any pusson in dis shop say n ain't. Ah's goin' make um sorry I he done dead." She spun around again on Davy and shocked him into action. "Write axter." The pen descended upon the paper and the letters fell from a point in jerky succession: "B A X- CLASSIFIED ADS TECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary. Particulars e.

Hagar took the pen from Davy's fingers and made a firm black cross. "Now," she said, "to-morrow yo' take dat to Proc Baggart an' tell him Ah sen' it." She dropped the pen, and in the dead silence of the room it rang a sharp, clear note as it struck the counter. Then she turned, and the watchers saw that her passion had passed and she again wore the odd aloofness of expression with which she had entered. She turned her gaze to the door with its square of misty, moonlight night. "De time's come," she said. "So long, eberybody." For a moment they saw her, a huge black silhouette set on frosted silver; then she was gone. Maum Vina's scream cut the silence and loosed the Negrces from their trance. "For Gawd sake, stop dat gal," she shrilled. "She out she head, an' she goin' do sheself hahm." They jammed through the doorway an scattered out on the piazza. Onl the night was out there; vast and tranquil it lay upon the square of white sand, the pine forests. Above them it was an infinitude of moonstruck mist, its utter silence not even broken by the far whisper of a star. They waited bewildered, not knowing what to do next. Suddenly from the river came the loud bark of a dog, a single shout, then a confused babel of voices. The Negroes broke into a run, and presently they crowded out on the narrow wharf. Beside the pier, seeming to strain its spars upward, lay a schooner that had been moored there the day before. Its crew were already at the pier head gesticulating and pointing downward. All afternoon the September spring tide had been pumping its vast burden of water into the low flat river lands, saturating porous marshes and settin; the grass tops awash, piling incalculable tons of brine into salt creeks, brimming secret lagoons. Now the great heart that lay somewhere out beyond the moon turned from systole to diastole and called its tide home. On the pier head the Negroes stood in silence and looked down. There was nothing to do—nothing to say. Below them, so close they could have reached down and touched it, the river drummed against the piles. Beneath its surface sleekness the currents writhed and turned like giant muscles under a velvet skin So fast it sped. An hour, and its crest would be free of the little rivers and out again into the open sea. END OF INSTALLMENT XV PARALYSIS TREATMENT. Chase's Tonic, Diuretic and Laxative Tablets. Write for book.

They found though, what they supposed to be their quarry at the end of the alley. One fellow skulking down the alley was caught and he was commanded to raise his hands, high.

One of the men reported that he found no weapons though many tools, none deadly. A long search of the car failed to turn anything up. WIGS HAND MADE OF NATURAL HUMAN HAIR. Made to your measure.
