FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 32 Memphis Leader Battling Political Enemies In State Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—The political eyes of Tennessee are focused on the appointment of the postmaster at Memphis, because those in the know declare that this will determine whether Robert R. Church will remain in power or the illy-wing of the Republican party will assume the leadership. Ed V. Sheely, the present postmaster, is being supported by Robert R. Church and opposed by the illy-whites, who are basing their opposition on the statement issued by Sheely when he received the temporary appointment, that "I am deeply obligated to J.

C.—(ANP) Authorities here are beginning now to plan for the taking of the next decennial census. The enumeration will feature distribution, mining irrigation, and drainage. Work for this census will begin partially in November, 1929, due to a provocation in the last senate bill which called for the taking of the decennial census. The fall, a more convenient time than May, the time formerly used. The census will be served the conduct of the 1929 census. The feeling is widespread that the census宽度 determined from Georgia, Walter P. George, was incorrectly taken. The census enumeration did not call in their homes during 1929. In 1928 unmarried colored enumeration was completed the day before the census. It is hoped, leaders say, that under a Republican administration a similar condition may occur in 1930. It is important these leaders good out, that the Negro be given proper credit. For actual population, development in death rate, wealth, and his business institutions. Gomaha, Nehr.—(ANP)—After submitting to a three-week reign of force, as a result of the spal-ized violence, the police this city have been relieved of the one-ided surveillance of their activities on the part of the police department, the police department, the territories for a counter offensive against the government and certain interrelated purposes. It is their theory that the colored man now being held in custody at a police station was not guilty, and that he is being made a scapegoat by some other parties prefer to see him put out of the way. The fact has been emphasized that Bryd not fit in any particular category, the white woman whose husband was killed when she was attacked, gave a savior assistant to the ar- But, although Mr. Stribling's original description of her assailant does not mention her being a woman, she seems have seen to indicate that she not only knew Byrd, but that her resemblance has been beyond replay on someone for some time. Report has it that Mr. Stribling's conduct may not have always been beyond replay on someone. At Omaha University are said to have taken the case under consideration and the woman was the guilty man, he must have been the woman's secret lover and thus the guilty man, he must have been on her alleged statement, "Now, Jake, you know you did it. After spending time with her, you assumed that I know you are the man." Much resentment is felt here against the police department. The police are from out of the ranks and are run from out of the ranks and is proportionate to lose his sense of proportions in big enceropes, some of those who are in the police force, not be surprised if some of the police have not become a party to a scheme which is thought to involve Byrd and the police.

Discussing the criminal tendencies of the Negro group, Thorsten Sellin the author of the book *Challenged: The belief that Negroes were in the majority of criminals and declared: "Should we assume that Negroes are white because they are arrested more frequently than white groups. Not the police, not the army, nor the coastline, but greater impunity than they do whites.* Conviction figures are used? Courts have been unfortunately found to discriminate against Negroes, and such discrimination is clearly reflected in the statistics. On statistics, they are of little value as a measure of comparative criminality, but half a chance to get suspended sentences, or to be placed on probation, and are frequently in the bargain, not only in fines, but left imprisonment.

This reveals his love for his friends. He must not pray for his friends. He must only pray for his friends. He must introduce them on business brands. He also wrote letters to his friends. One of the most tender and affectionate letters he wrote to that of Paul to Philemon, a model of tactfulness and the first antidavant petition for December 23. As Paul came to the end of his life he presented the true view which a Christian should have. He presents it under two metaphors—one an offering, and the other a departure. He not only had the right to be a friend, but hewarded upon his life with the consciousness of having finished his work and an eternal fellowship with God.

For it教会 men, not from a distant put, but from the seeds of their every day, where they are often difficult and hard to understand, who is relegated; he is meant to be a man who moves rebling.

C. Nashville, Tenn.—One of the finest library buildings in the country will begin to go up on the Fisk University campus next spring because of the work of the General Education Board. The grant was made for building and its endowment and the division for the two purposes will be in about equal proportions. The most unusual feature of the gift is that it is made outright with no requirement that Fisk University be involved. The library is designed by Henry C. Hilbs, Nashville architect. It will be of modified collegiate Gothic architecture, done in red face brick with Indiana limestone trim. The layout of the library will be very modern convenience known to library construction, for only after the librarians of the country were finally adopted. The Gothic building is beautiful but of practical design of the book stacks will be in the tower and will be delivered to the main loan offices. There will also be a number of chutes. There will also be a number The Inter-Racial Conference, whose membership was more or less evenly distributed between white and colored, male and female, old and young, and African-American and white Washington during the first four days of the week just past. The agenda was to engage the betterment and welfare of the Negro race. The white delegates, the African-American delegates, the South white and delivered with their colored collaborators and collaborators on terms, easy equality and pleasant interaction. Ian let down their hard and fast-accurate demands and received sponsored accommodation in unaccented places. But this does not necessarily repre- sentate the racial localization. The service cloze up as soon as the thin blade of the cloze was in contact are interesting but not indicative. The deliberations of the conference were based upon scientific research and the direction of Professor Charles H. Johnson, the unrivaled research scientist at the university room for ineliverable eloquence or oratorical pterocrites. There has never been such an effort gathering such an array of definitely ascertained scientific social material. The conference was organized by the institution of the conference is due to Dr. George E. Haynes in charge of the conference. The canon Federation of Churches. The guiding genius of the program and the leadership of the Van Kriek of the Russell Sage Foundation. These easily constituted the foundation of this conference. The prince of philanthropy in this field, graced the conference by his presence and participation in this conference a distinctive place among previous attempts in the same field. The whole movement was dictated and controlled by the great philanthropist millions of wealth. It was but one form of expression of the mobilization of wealth in behalf of social 2. For the first time adequate means and scientific efficiency were available to address the policy of dealing with, if not solving, the race problem. Needless waste and friction was sought to be eliminated in the field.

It will face east on the part of the campus that forms a quadrilateral building in the proposed new academic group. The credit for the securing of this gift should go to Presley Thomas Elsa Jones, who crystalized the General Education Bord in Fisk. and accepted taboo. The whole fabric was based upon the maintenance of the established difference and distinctions of race. Dr. W. E. B. Dulbola, a professor of medicine at flat-footed equality, gave the conference its rudest shock. 5. There were no Negro delegates representing distinctively Negro or African-American denominations, the press, the fraternal organizations which keep the African-American community thought were conspicuous by their inconspicuousness. It was taken for granted that the Negro community under his own steam or speak through his own voice. As he does not know what they think he ought to have. Of the intelligence well disposed whites must give him what they think he ought to have. Of the intelligence is desired to facilitate the program. All purely Negro movement, the Equal Rights League and the Negro Sandhair spring up and down as a sustaining nourishment. This was a conference to health white founders, sustaining nourishment. The ideal of the Negro Sandhair—a council of Negroes, for the salvation of the philanthropist with that of the old philanthropy with that of the old civil War. The one was made on religion, the other on science; the former was founded on sacrifice, the latter was founded on faith. The older order called for concession of self, the newer dispersion and social bent; the philanthropy which founded Howard, Atlanta and New York; the corollary which flowed from the love of God, the present day charity association proposition. Just how far the human benevolence and benefaction will carry, the gravely experimental venture. Failure had no part in this conference, for heavenly guidance was heard throughout its deliberations. clignon now is the time for all young The conference die for prudence to prevent a mental attack on the strength of race prejudice but been unwilling which it possessed no power to affect in its essential perseverality and social engineering. It turned to tunes and vent the obstacle which it had not the power to overcome. Seek Nomination For Walker Award New York CRP (ANP) - James Welden Johann, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspapers he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish. Advertising in The Informer Sells the Goods LOCKETT'S TEAM SHOWS NOTHING IN RECENT TILT (B. C. F. RICHARDSON, Sr.) Displaying a baffling, baffling and beuddling off-tackle offense which just would not quit for the red light, and completely outplaying, outsmarting and outgenerating the Washington High Golden Eagles, the Jack Lions Lions won a close and exciting victory on Day, from Coach R. G. Locket's charges, 8 to 6. Coach Holland's lions showed a complete reversal of form from that shown in the fiasco against the Lions, through the Wildcats become both the city and South Texas champions due to the defeat of the Eagles, the Lions certainly were a different team Tuesday. To be perfect frank and candid the Golden Eagles had nothing but Lady Luck and possibly a prayer, and it was their proverbial kick which kept the Lions in one quarter did the Eagles flash a fire of lover's love, the poorest exhibition ever made by one of Lockett's teams, the Washington griders resounding reckonings of 25 or 30 years; while the Lions were exhibiting the latest in gridiron Eagles' Line Easy for Lions Though the first to register a touchdown in the second quarter, and which was dealt of ppg and fight, the Eagles' primary wall of defense could stop the long defensive chance of the long pass, and placed the pigskin where the Yates gridmen finally carried the ball over the extra point after touchdown, failed even though Coach Holland of Yates had the Lions secured the uprights in their try. However, his contention was disallowed, for the ball really came off. The Lions outweighed the Eagles and their beetle line stopped practically before they could be by the Eagles who continued to plunge into that might have been repeated by the Eagles backfield star and repeated in confusion, and when it appeared that the touchdown was imminent, the Eagles backfield star or paused before being permitted to carry the ball ove that the quarterback had to call time before the final attempt to score the touchdown. There was not the smoothness of the Eagles as was demonstrated by the Lions, who were playing inspired by their alma mater, Coach Holland and their alma mater.

Play was stopped and some of the 'over-zeolons' drivers driven back, but the playing field was never cleared of the crowd and the players were trained in the coach, captain or referee would have refused to continue the game in the field. The players were cleared, bottled teams resumed the fray and when the Lions lost the ball on the touchdown and the wall went over to Washington, an Eagle with the ball before he could recover a fumble and the Lions had scored two additional touchdowns and the wall won the annual battle 8-6.

High Rating Given A. and T. College In Survey of Schools Greenbush, N. G. — (AMP) — A high rating among the Negro College of the nation is given to the Negro Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, in a survey of Negro colleges and universities in a survey of Negro colleges and universities published by the bureau of education for the U. S. Department of the Interior. The A. and T. College, as it is composed as one of the leading Negro land grant colleges in the United States, is the federal commission established to promote the survey. The survey holds that the business affairs of the college are well understood and grounds in the $2,000,000 plant is excellent, the program of study required, the college faculty of a well-trained group of young men holding degree from well-known institutions, an excellent service to the state and is ready for an endurance of that the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina, has given excellent service to the state and compares than ever of the support of the people of North Carolina," it opens the final chapter of the survey in In view of the growth of the college and the increased support due it by the state, the college is encouraged to include a college arts and sciences in the future, and that the college be reorganized to substitute for the major in the college's liberal arts and sciences, a school of agriculture, and a school of mechanical arts, that teaching and production are combined.

The faculty had a total number of salaries of teacher trainees to agriculture and industry. There were 15 numbers, with 16 teachers in the secondary department. Salaries are reimbursed by a basis than in other institutions of the type, but the payment of better salaries is the effect of the college authorities to bring the institution up to the standard required by accredited institution and is recognized as a standard four-year college.

These people believe in and practice the doctrine of trading in Houston, and daily spend huge sums, in the aggregate, with the business concerns of this city. Figured on the basis of $3 per person, per week, expended for necessities and we have between $180,000 and $195,000 spent in Houston every week by this group of our population. For 52 weeks—one calendar year—these colored citizens spend between $9,360,000 and $10,140,000 for necessities alone. This staggering figure does not include the amount of money invested in homes and real estate, in the purchase of automobiles and accessories, furniture, radios and other household necessities and luxuries.

AMERICA, HYPOCRITE OR FOURFLUSHER? When one observes how Uncle Sam will spend huge sums of money in a vain and futile末懈 to enforce the 18th Colostead) amendment to the federal constitution, and then will positively refuse to spend one red copper or interest himself one lot in other constitutional amendments of far greater importance to America and civilization than the prohibition amendment; when one notes how Uncle Sam will employ all the governmental wheels of machinery to apprehend and punish a federal employee or plain citizen for an alleged violation of some statutes within the purview of the federal courts, and yet these same courts and jurists are not the least concerned or perturbed at the non-observance of other national statutes and constitutional amendments affecting one part of America's citizenry; when one beholds the double standard of citizenship in this country, he is forced to wonder if Uncle Sam is a monumental hypocrite or a boisterous fourfusher. The American government expends millions of dollars annually in an attempt to enforce the 18th constitutional amendment, which seeks to regulate man's appetite; but the same government refuses to regulate man's appetite, and thus imposes such amendments to this same American constitution, whose statutory provisions seek to guarantee to every American citizen the same rights and privileges enjoyed and exercised by others in our boasted democratic republic. Little wonder is it, then, that disrespect for constitutional authority has become so widespread and prevalent in this country; for the same reason that the oblivion in any country where class legislation exists, and where the law is not impartially enforced upon all citizens or subjects alike. If the Southern states can, with impunity, ignore and violate certain constitutional amendments, by the same method of reasoning and action upon the part of their citizens, why can not the northern, Eastern or Western states observe and respect only those constitutional provisions and amendments that meet their moral or suit moral standards? If a postal employee is accused of stealing a one-cent postage stamp, or riffing a sealed letter, whether it contains money, written message or is merely a decoy, the federal government will expect every effort, and areas in service every governmental agency to prove the guilt of the accused and indicted postal employee, and to secure his conviction in the federal court, often for a petty and important act or offense. The government will even spend money in an effort to trap certain suspects in the employ of the government; but this same effort will not be successful, as the violated which deed, and raise certain American citizens their intolerable and God-given rights and prerogatives, merely because of color, creed or class! Other nations of the world are quite consistent and pertinent when they advise Uncle Sam to clean up his own house before enforcing to direct the activities and dictate the policies for the other national households of the world; for reformation, like charm should start at home and then spread abroad. In the United States, the laws of the peculiar actions, queer antics and inconsistent attitud of our national government, "Is America a hypocrite or fourflesh?" POLITICAL PREPAREDNESS All Texans, white or colored, who do not pay the poll tax or accept an exemption certificate before midnight of January 31, 1929, will be ineligible to vote in any election during 1929. This applies to female, and well as male, citizens. In view of this fact and the further fact that the major portion of the poll tax money is employed for educational purposes, the Informer sounds its annual warning to our people to qualify American citizens by paying the poll tax or securing an exemption certificate within the period prescribed by law. While this is an off-year, politically speaking, it is impossible to predict or foretell what any transpire in this city during 1929 unless the qualified voters will be asked to cast their ballots either or against the propositions. There will be a city election in April, when the mayor, four city commissioners and city controller will be elected; and the fact that they were nominated in the democratic primary during last December, should not deter our people from getting ready to vote in the general election of the spring. "There many a slip is kept under the cup and lip," runs an age-old age, and in this day of strange political upheavals and conditions, one can foresee what political developments may take place. We can expect that our people qualify for our benefits, it is better to be safe than sorry, and to be on the safe side regardless that our people qualify in large numbers for the exercise of their executive franchise rights during next year; and the time very brief for fulfilling this obligation of citizenship. Since no man or woman is a citizen, from a statutory viewpoint, without a bill or receipt on certificate obtained before the expiration of its validity, we qualify by paying our poll or our录取 certificate now. The Houston Informer By KELLY MILLER Against the barriers of prejudice, the Negro has little or no self-resistance; the moral appeal to the white race to enforce the law which it has ordained. But the dare-dew Anglo Negro has little or no moral appeal to the laws it lafts and to flout the laws it court against the deed of the supreme court against the deed of race prejudice is as important as the pope's bull against the contest. Reasonable punishment and deed in face of its unreasonable flat. You may as well go reason with the Negro he has made the wee bleak for the white race. and like Job's wild wife, curse 'God and die?

BALLOT POWER NEGRO'S NEED. AVERS DuBOIS BALLOT POWER NEGRO'S NEED. AVERS DuBOIS Washington, D. C. —(ANP)—According to Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, the most important task before the Negro is the acquisition of political power. Speaking before the National Interracial Conference which met here recently, Dr. Du Bois said: “For twenty-five years this nation, and even the friends of the Negro, have been taught that Negro vote should not be touched upon nor investigated. We do not, therefore, know how far Negro votes today occupy, sponsing, and recreation, all as many as seem to assume, upon philanthropy. In the same way, we are aware of and have a more equitable administration of law and justice, cleaner citizenship rights, and more normal rights for all Americans in the United States a democracy upon the fundamental truth that every citizen has a vote in its own government. "How the working class is going to use its political power to better and more secure itself, still be a grave problem; but there is no problem in the certainty that with the right group we can escape slavery. "But that is not all. A distrunctive element in the certainty that with the right group we can escape slavery.

AMILCAR DUVAL (1872-), POET, JOURNALIST, HISTORIAN The subject of this paper, Amilcar Duval, was born at Port-au-Prince, and plotted a course in law he was submitted to the bar. He was named by ministers of law and was later given the distinguished position of counsel Amilcar Duval has been a captive writer. His writings are to be admi- rent. He is the first published book in that contains in several glorious memoirs of the author. As a reputable one of his country, though this book is not an detailed com- pany, it is worth gaining from its reading. His style, while not highly hyperbolic, is not mattered, while it could be enlarged upon, does not deviate from the useful as well as corrected of the book. His novels are highly realistic and vivid, are from real life, and animated, vivid, and good. They are good, is to say little for he is very doubt a writer of great ability in narrative, in narrative, in narrative, but where occasion occurs, energetic and effective. As a utility, it is that of venturing to diverse common sense and humor to the precepts of real life and natural feeling. He represents them with no sentiments, no hypothetical representations of uncommon character or situation, no hypothetical passion. His characters are true to life. And without excluding love and to刻画 from pages, he knows how to刻画 it if it is true, neither disregards the sentiment from its true dignity, nor lifts it to a burial place among the passions. And his heroes and heroes, if such they may accurately good, nor interestingly wicked. As a poet he is above the ordinary. He is prominent and culture. Every page of his is proof that he is a lover of Shakespeare and Wordworth. Like a sun, the season, and the hour; like colors and harmonies of the sky, the sun, the season, and the hour; like beauties are his own. In his earlier poets, he often reminds me, by the celebration of English poet, Crable: he has moulded his own style into its peculiar and native beauty, and like a sun, he has moulded his own style into its way vigorous, majestic, and with a character all his own. He delights in writing on some noble themes; and in his poems he uses the breath of scope, and pours forth a harmony grand, melancholy, and thrillful themes with the sympathy and liness of poetry, they are yet the stern and real, as he tells us, and as we feel and know from our own experience, all He finds his actual knowledge. He finds his real growth of society, and he boldly and vehemently kays bare their presence and culture, and with the poem of a giant. Besides being a novelist, poet and essayist, David has a reputation.

When the news leaked out that the Empress Josephine took a bath every day there was almost as much excitement as "Lindy" suddenly descended from the clouds. Ladies of the royal bed-chambers of the Kingdom of Angleseine threw a day to, say nothing of frequent ablutions with soap and water between baths. But it must be remembered that Napoleon had a fond of a fantastic on the subject of bathing, but it must be remembered that Napoleon had a fond of something had to be done to offset so great a disadvantage in those days. Napoleon devoted two hours a day to her toilette, washing in silver tubs and basins. Napoleon's attractive wife became addicted to bathing in a serious way bath was indulged in only physicists. But after the death of Napoleon down from her royal throne to patronize soap and water, people began to be something in the notion. Although many years passed before the institution in civilized countries there is no doubting the fact that the movement was helped along by the example of Cecile girl who became an empress. Nowadays you don't have to be an empress to take a bath. With soap and water accessible everywhere, any empress can charm that comes from cleanliness.

As he guard in half dared wander he saw her run over and call the young's head down against her broken arm if they understood, as one holds only those they love.

He laughed vindicatively, stepped onto the street and whistled for a taxi. "Well, now, wherech we go from here?" Herb Wilks rose from his seat on an overturned dry goods box, where he sat watch the fight with the ludicrously blane disinterestedness of one to whom such brawls were of every day occurrence. "Home!" David shot the word at him viciously. Turning on his heels he walked rapidly away. The bright lights beyond the alley entrance gleamed strangely white on the boy's stricken angry face.

SAVANKAN, GEORGIA (Est. 1901-25 years of satisfaction) Struggling Hearts Struggling Hearts (Continued from Page 2) DEACON BROWN TELLS "Brother Anson went into that brothel of sin to try to persuade him to come out, but Dave here, up and knocks him down. Brother Anson says it was awful. There in company with that child e' hell. Herb Wilks, he found David and pled with him to come out of that house of sin. But David was under the spell of the strange woman. He struck Brother Bledsoe a mighty blow and turned to the arms of that shameless Jezebel, that brazen daughter of Satan, Zola. Brother Anson said he covered his eyes in grief and shame an' left him there. But his heart was heavy. I tried to save Dave's soul from the burnin'. We all know it haint' your fault, Brother Conway. "We know you and Sister Nancy has tried to raise your children right, so I thought you ought to know about this." He paused and it seemed that an almost evil clie danced in his keen little black eyes. Old Jason Conway's stern black face was hard and dintlike. The uncompromising lines, graven by a long life of rigid, unflattering honesty, but also of narrow bigotry that he firmly believed to be Christianity, were deeply etched by anger. He turned to his son, David. The boy half opened his lips as if to speak. His soft brown eyes, so like his mother's seemed almost to plead for understanding. But as they met the pitiless cold hooding of his father's game they grew sullen. His chin tightened and hardened. He gave back look for look. Nancy Conway from her place by the kitchen table looked fearfully from her son to her husband. She half lifted her garred brown hand in a pleading gesture for peace between them then let it fall, helplessly. Old Deacon Brown's sharp black eyes danced from one face to the other eagerly expectant. "Did you go to that cabaret, David?" the question was incisive. The voice that uttered it hard and emotionless with hard held anger. "Yes!" the single word was "a defiant children MASSED FROM HOME" "Very well, now get your dud-and-get-out And—I never want to see your face around my house again. If I do—" the unfinished sentence held a mense of cold finality. The tall, rugged faced old black man, descendant of imprecable Ethiopian kings, turned without a backward look and with a gesture toward MAGIC ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION the thin cruel lipped deacon, strode out of the room into the wide yard at the side of the big gray house. Looking back with a satisfied leer in his beady black eyes the old deacon followed him. Nancy Conway crossed the room to her son. Her trembling lips were pressed tightly together. She was silent. Only the entire tears welling up now, and overflowing onto the wrinkled old gold of her cheeks told of the tremendous emotional upheaval going on within. She reached tremulous old arms up and encircling David's neck drew his head down to her bosom. There was a long, silent moment, she held him close so that and then let him go, only to clasp him again tighter to her bosom. At last, very gently, David loosened his mother's arms from his neck. "It'll be all right mother," he said. "It's that"—he choked back the expletive that started in his heart and swallowed hard, the oath was no word to be uttered in his mother's presence—"that—hypocritical Anson Bledsoe's lies that have done this." Kissing her gently he went out and up to the wide windowed room where she will make a shrine of happy childhood. David walked slowly toward the little wooden railway station of Rlingford. RITIZED BY FRIENDS A boy growing girls approached along the narrow brick pavement. David exchanged his heavy old-fashioned gray traveling bag from his right to his left hand and raised his hat, smiling in the old familiar friendly way. Every girl in that crowd that had known him from kindergarten days dropped her eyes and passed him without a word. low laugh from behind the trunk of a church of a house just inside the low hedge bordering the sidewalk, brought the swift blood to his cheeks. Anson Bledsoe stepped out, hat in hand, bowing elegantly to a pretty girl whose lips curled scornfully as her eyes passed over and through David. The boy curased, low, deep down in his chest. Just behind the turn of the street, the uniform tracks crossed through the little town. Beyond the tracks were a tumble down row of dirty, sordid little one room houses. A two story dump made an exclamation point at the end of the block farthest away. Loitering on the corner between the nearest small hut and the taller house was a pretty olive skinned young girl dressed in vivid red. As David passed she smiled in friendly fashion, without suggestion. David smiled in return, casually. "Hello, Angie," he said in response to her pleasantly called "hello, Dave." He passed on, warmed by the greeting. TABLE SHEL-TABS and be young again. Brocade PRF, VITALITY and YOUTH- INFANTS. Send $100 to the system. Send $100 for FULL TREAT- MENT. Don Brennan, $200.

Anson Bledsoe turned the corner. He glanced furtively about before walking hurriedly toward Angie. He reached her he made a half resture with his gloved hand and nodded slightly. When he had passed the girl in the vivid red dress turned and followed him. Casually he sauntered toward the side entrance of the tall house. Then, with a quick book up and down the street, he disappeared inside. Leisurely Angie followed him, an eager, pleased light in her eyes. David Conway smiled bitterly. His eyes were cynical as he boarded the fast express for the city and—"Heel," he whispered hoarsely. (What happens now!
