KANSAS Negroes Would Displace Whites in Benzie County, Michigan Prominent Local Citizens Involved CHICAGO, Ill.—There has been discovered a conspiracy on the part of a number of white and colored people to get control of Benzia county, Michigan, for colored people. There are plans to dominate the offices, elect colored folk to the state legislature and ultimately to the United States Congress. But there is to be no war, revolution or bloodshed, for it is proposed to sell the land to these colored people on very liberal terms and thus get control by legitimate means. The chief conspirator in this plot is in Kansas City, NOW. He is Vernon G. Ward of Homestead, Michigan, who is assisting in the establishing of a branch office of the Homestead Development Association. The District will include Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado and Nebraska. This branch office is in charge of one of our influential citizens, Mr. R. A. Adams, whose connexion with it will command the confidence of the people of the community. For full information or for terms to agents, call at office: 1314 North Fifth street, Kansas City, Kansas, or ring Bell Phone Fairfax 5315. QUINCY, Ill.—It is an easy thing to say I told you so. These words are always said after a thing has happened, and there are so many people who can step up and say "I told you so." But you may ask if they did or did not tell you. I am in that class this week, and if you will step back and get a few back papers there is where you will find the words I am going to tell you this week. I told you that Senator Warren G. Harding was going 'to be the next president of the United States, and I was not a prophet when I told you so, for a blind man could have seen that the country was tired of the present administration, and did not want any more of that class. "When Governor Cox swallowed without water the League of NOTIONS, it was then that he signed his death warrant or committed suicide, and now he is numbered with the has been, but he only has been an aspirant. A man is in bad when he can't carry even his own ward and precinct. He saw that he was going down, and then he called up Mr. Tillman by an underground telephone or some other kind of phone and asked him what to do, and from his summer home Mr. Tillman told Brother Cox to call forth the Negro question and that would land him, and it landed him and all of his garty for an everlasting rest. God works in a mysterious way, and He has been at work, or was at work November 2, in America. It is over now, and it will not be long before we will have peace with all the rest of the world, and we are not going to sell out, America to Europe to get it. I am so glad of this one thing, if no more. We have played our part in the victory, and believe me honey, when I tell you that there were but few of my people in America who went with them, for they wanted to be delivered from that hot place, and then they desired to be in a position to render service to the whole race. New blood was brought to the front. Many men of my race spoke who had never spoken before, and most of them contributed to the success of the party. Kentucky lost, but then it will come again, and we have Tennessee and Missouri. I spent a few days in Missouri, as I have told you before, with that wonderful leader and organizer, Prof. Aaron E. Malone of Poro College. He had right by his side his companion and they got their heads together and said "Missouri must go for this party." You have the result. He helped to land Congressman Dyer Senator Spencer and all the others on the state ticket. This little man worked night and day. I have told you before that Mr. Malone was a member of the Missouri State Republican Executive committee and as such he made good. He is truly a representative of this race of ours, and I would like to see him Register of the Treasury. A good place, and I think we can all get behind him for the place. I believe he would accept and we would have a safe unselfish leader. I have told you so much about this wonderful character and that wonderful wife of his. They worked in TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. the campaign in St. Louis. Mrs. Malone with the women, and it was an election day, they heard a cry from Quincy to come over and help us. They are putting on a drive here for $10,000 for social center work. While they were planning in St. Louis, they sent ahead Mrs. Mabel Breedlove, the wife of Dr. Breedlove, St. Louis, to survey the field, and assist in the organization. Mrs. Breedlove is a woman of some education, for she was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, and went through the high school right there, and then she went down to Nashville, Tenn., and took up that business which tells you how to mix up medicine. I think you call it pharmacy, or something like that. She is called one of the best in America, saying nothing about race or color. She has been active in the affairs of the race, and was just the woman to be sent to organize for work. Mr. Malone left on election day, after casting his vote, and later he was joined by Mrs. Breedlove and Mrs. Malone and the last of the week Prof, Frank L. Williams showed up, and you know he is some pumpkins in this education business and a great organizer. He is one of the highest paid teachers in this country, principal of the St. Louis high school. Then came Prof. Gerard Tyler, that man who knows as much about music as the angels, and when he gets to Heaven he is going to have a high place in the heavenly choir. He came along to help to raise the $10,000 with which, to establish permanent quarters for the Social Center. Dr. J. E. Mooreland also came and I am here. I wish you could have seen the people responding to the call made on them, and while it is not over, I will put it down that under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Malone, assisted by Mrs. Breedlove, they have gone over the top. It means so much to leave your business, and a business which brings in over a thousand dollars a day and go and spend a week trying to help those who need your help. This is what the Malones have done. This is what Mrs. Breedlove has done, and the others whose names I have mention, but not so much time. In Quincy, Mr. and Mrs. Malone maintain a summer, home, "Poro Cottage," and it is a fine building and a beautiful place in which to live. I have enjoyed looking around in it for a few days. I was here looking after the drive, and they have been driving. Do you know Prof. Frank L. Williams? I will have some more to tell you about him. Quincy is just one of the little river towns, that is called a city because so many people live in it. It is a city of wealth and good people. I am here and enjoying it so very much. "Finding a way out," is an autobiography by Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who has made his way to the top. I wish you could read this book, and if I had my way I would have every Negro boy in this country to read it, and then place it in the schools as a study in literature. No attempt at flowers, but the story in a plain, comprehensive way, and at times the reader feels like shedding tears, and again his/heart swells with emotion. He comes from a royal family, direct out of Africa. From a boy way back on the farm in Old Virginia, he has risen step by step. The road of his life at times has been hard; he had to earn his education, but it was cared, and he is just a leader of men. CITY KANSAS HAS TWO COLORED ELECTORS NOW Out of the ten Harding and Coolidge electors two of them are colored, Lawyer Dorsey Green of this city, and E. Percy Robinson of Parsons, and coroner of Labette county. Lawyer Green led the ticket of electors in Wyandotte, his home county, as did Mr. Robinson in his county. It is possible that one of these two men may have the honor of going to Washington and casting the entire ten electoral votes for Senator Harding for President and Governor Coolidge for vice-president in March. We feel sure of what we personally know of Mr. Harding and his life, he would in no wise feel it a disgrace to him or the fair state of Kansas. The color of a man does not make the color of a principle. Rev. and Mrs. Storey Entertained While In Kansas City, Kas. Those who entertained them at dinner were Miss Mabel Jackson, Mrs. P. M. Davidson, Mr. and Mrs. W. Hulsey, Miss Jessie Sanders, Mrs. Hattie Moppins, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Posey, Mr. and Mrs. Elias Anderson, Miss Garell Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Silvers and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McMen. Rev. and Mrs. Storey have been visiting Mrs. Storey's mother, Mrs. Johnson, 1964 North Sixth street, for several weeks. They returned to their home and charge at Eldorado, Kans., Thursday. Civic League to Help New Paper The Civic League had a special meeting Tuesday evening at their rooms over the Home Drug company. The purpose was to assist in putting on the drive for subscriptions for the daily newspaper that is seen to be installed in the city by Senator Arthur Capper. The colored wards were platted off and a supervisor of each plat selected to call upon each home for subscriptions. It might seem strange that the editor of The Advocate accepted as one of the supervisors in this subscription campaign, but he feels it is sorely needed and as a citizen and taxpayer, stands for everything that will be a benefit to the city and its dwellers. Rev. Sawyer and Rev. D.A. Holmes were made general managers and will meet all the supervisors Sunday afternoon at 4 p. m., at the Metropolitan Baptist church, to give out the subscription books. The drive will start Monday the 15th and close Friday the 19th. Rev. J. F. Griffin, president of the League, made the call for this drive when a goodly number responded, with the ultimate result. Dr. Moton looked into many avenues, and had a desire to exploit many fields before he really found himself. One time he looked forward to the day when he would be a great lawyer. The people wanted to send him to the Legislature in Virginia before he had obtained his majority, but his mother showed common sense by refusing to stretch his age. Perhaps the race would have been cheated out of a great educator, and we perhaps would have had a worthless hungry politician wait to eat at the political pie counter. In telling the story of his life, Dr. Moton becomes dramatic at times, but after all it is just like sitting down holding a conversation with him. It comes from the press of Doubleday, Page & Co., publishers, New York City. In my opinion it should be in every home, especially those who are bringing up boys. I have read this book over and over again and each time I see something new. Without a doubt, the author is a great man and his place has been won by actual work. We are going to be modest in our request for patronage in this election. We want only worthy men promoted, and then we want the condition of our people in this country changed. I want it so that I can be a man in Mississippi, in Louisiana, as well as in Massachusetts, New York or Pennsylvania. I am going to bring this letter to a shut down for this week, but hope to have more to say to you next week I have so many things in mind that I do not know the starting point at times. Give my love to all inquiring friends, and write to me at 802 Ash street, Texarkana, Arkansas ADVOCATE Colonel E. C. Little and Mrs. Little left Wednesday for Washington; to return to his duties in the House of Representatives, representing the Second congressional district of the Sunflower state, for his third consecutive term. His majority was 17,000, carrying every county in the district. Congressman Little has made a wonderful record since going to Washington, and every term brings a greater service to the country and his constituents. G. M. Broadnax A few days ago, in company with Rev. R. S. Everett, found ourselves getting off the train at Garnett. Prof. B. Henry was in waiting. So we were three miles out in the country, on the farm of this great leader of men. Mrs. Henry was at home, and she knew just what to do. Chickens, ducks, pigs, hogs, 200 to 300 pounds; horses, four or five milch cows, a fine field of wheat, a big tobacco patch. After refreshing and eating as only Rev. Everett can, found us at 8 passing and raising a man. Next found us at Coffeyville, Kans., where we always find a friend the Rev. A. Garner. Mrs. Garner is one of the Court ladies and a great woman. We reinstated ten craftsmen, a good set of men. We soon found our way back to Kansas City. Next I left for Omaha, Neb., where I put in my ballot for the entire Republican ticket, for which I was thankful. On the Great Northwestern the next day at 1:30 sitting at the table of Mr. O. J. Levels. I found him busy at work in the biggest department store in the West. His wife and daughter are some housekeepers and know how to treat King Solomon's son. The craftsmen are doing their duty in Omaha again. I met C. J. Goode and his highly esteemed lady. Brother Goode is W. M. of No. 12; Brother McRay, W.M. of St. Luke; Hickman W. M. of No. 16; Charles Bradford, Golden Rule W. M.; W. C. Mallard, one of Omaha's best, true and tried men; R. Hughes, G. O.; Mr. Silas Johnson, the undertaker, best among our people. They all report the craftsmen are doing their duty and are satisfied that the A. F. and A. York Rite Masons (National Compact) of the United States and Provinces on the continent of North America is the true and legal Masonic body of Masons. Here, Ye! there! Ye all hail! All Hail. It has just been communicated to me from Prof. R. J. Simmons, N. G. S. at 328 First avenue East, Duluth, Minn., that another victory for York Rite Masons in the lawsuit brought against us a year ago by the men claiming to be the legal Masons of the A. F. and A. M.'s, but the court of Indiana did not decide in their favor, but decided we were the legal body of Masons. Dear Brother Craftsmen: All white Masonic Grand Lodges have declared No. 2 Grand Lodges of the same name or rite can exist in any state or territory without one or the other unlawful. One hundred forty years in the United States you have never seceded; you have no reclaim charter. You carry no banner claim by other lodges that were organized first. No-lodge in this country is more legitimate than yours. Fraternally yours, J. A. BROADNAX, G.M. MRS BROOKS DIES. Mrs. Nannie Brooks died early Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ryles on Grandview boulevard. Mrs. Brooks had been ill for severa months and her death was not unexpected. A short service was held at the home Wednesday at 4 p.m., her pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, officiating. The remains were then taken to Lawrence, Kans., where they were interred Tuesday The family and relatives have the sympathy of the community in their hour of bereavementt.

Mr. Jackson of Los Angeles, Cal., was in our city Tuesday. Rev. and Mrs. Bolden are visiting out of the city. The interior of the new First Baptist church, corner, of Fifth street and Nebraska avenue, has finished its whitet coat and most of the windows placed. The pastor, Dr. Bowren, and his hard-working congregation have paid as they go on this magnificent structure and when it is completed and ready to worship in, their indebtedness will be very small. This church when finished will be among, if not the handsomest houses of God in the West. Bethel A. M. E. Church (Stewart Avenue and Water Streets. Rev. W. B. Johnson, Pastor.) Mrs. S. J. Duncan, an evangelist, is conducting revival services this week and good crowds are in attendance. Sunday is quarterly meeting. Sacrament at 8 p. m. Rev. Bolden will deliver the sermon.

Curry and her fine new baby girl are getting along fine. An Illinois farmer sold the hide of a calf for $6, then went to town and bought a pair of shoes for $8. Now he knows what a skin game is.

WE SHOULD GET THE TRUTH SHOULD GET UNDERSTANDING There is nothing more deplorable than a belief without an understanding, understanding is essential in this world and in the world to come. Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye witnesses and ministers of the word. It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first. to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightiest know the certainty of these things, wherein thou hast been instructed. Luke, 1st chapter, first, second third and fourth verses. Our blessed Saviour said blessed are the pure in spirit, for they shall see God. This means blessed are the pure in spirit, or pure in thought, or pure in mind, or pure in understanding is of mind or spiritual, and not of brain, or mattr. We appreciate the learned and great men of this world, notwithstanding, it must be confessed that the wisest of men have made the greatest builders. Let me tell you the truth about the shape of the earth, and the size of the sun and moon. Make no mistake in staging your various meetings for some future date, your success depends largely upon the kind of weather you will have for the occasion. You may choose any time within a week or two weeks and I will tell you the kind of weather you will have. New Thought Weather Bureau, Phone Clifton 3149. C. F. Collins, Astronomer.

After a good church collection, taken without walking tc the table, Attorney Bell spoke in be- half of the soldiers who are in prison for the “Houston Riot.” It was s¢ realistic and pathetic that many went; some acquiesced with amens while some had to give vent with cheers of ovations, although -it was in a divine service. Prof. Neely and Deacon Johnson gave $10 each, and the total was over $110 for the sol- diers, and they say they are going to have another mass meeting ani get over $200. é ‘At 8 p. m, after the voluntary “Abide With Me,” the pastor callec on Deacon Oliver to pray.

This city, with more than 100,000 .population, occu- pies the unique position of be- ing the largest city in the world without a daily newspaer. An independent, aggressive. daily newspaer, featuring local news, putting this city first and ad- vaneing municipal affairs and civic improvements, should be a success, especially so if inde- pendent in politics. Years ago, when Bernard Corrigan was “boss” of the local street car situation, he subsidized a daily newspaper in Kansas City, Kan- sas, and it did well, in a financial way, until his business advice was withdrawn. Since then no one has had the capital on business ability to build up 2 daily here. By all means the new enterprise should receive the suport of the citizens of the city. Three Women Elected Three women will sit in the Kansas legislature this winter. They are: Mrs. J. Grinstead, Liberal; Mrs. Lida M. Walker, Norton, and Mrs. M J. Minnich, Wellington. All are Republicans. Mrs. Grinstead returns for the second term as representative of Seward county. She served during the sessions of 1919-20 and was the first woman ever elected to a seat in the Kansas legislative body. - ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE State of Kansas, Wyandotte coun- ty, ss.

Jerry Mills, the wiz- ard producer, is with the company and carefully watches every perfor- mance for any defect, however minor. The chorus js said to be the pret- tiest collection of creole beauties ever assembled, and unlike the usual musical comedy chorus, can really sing and dance, One or two songs usually suffice to carry the popularity of a musical show, and tHe book itself is of little consequence, “Hello Jazzbo” has a book with a real plot and each and every musical number is said to be @ gem. The company is headed by such well known colored artists as Medil Thompson, Jerry Mills, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Lovie ‘Taylor, Ada Richards and a large [chorus of Bronze Beauties: This com- pany played a 10-weeks engagement at the Grand in Chicago Jast sum- mer and comes here direct from 2 record week at the Lyceum Theatre in Cincinnati.

Then suddenly something bursts upon the theatrical ‘horizon that takes the country by storm. The lat- est sensation to set the theatrical world talking is the Big Bronze Mu- sical Revue, “Hello Jazzbo.” Nothing like it since the days of Williams & Walker is the claim of the critics. The field of. colored entertainers, not only in the United States, but abroad, was carefully combed in the search or talent, and the result has been to assemble the best singing and dancing organizations that the country has probably ever seen.

Synopsis:—A disgraced sail- ing master, Marchbanks, is en- gaged by a mysterious hunch- back, to sail ‘a steamer down the Pacific Coast, on a myster- ious errand. He discovers that the.car driving him to the ves- sel is in charge of a young lady who has donned a. chauffeur’s uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the ves- sel. They are arrested and tak- een to a police station. Mnitorm, Unseen forces try t | prevent them reaching the ves sel. They are arrested and tak een to a police station. _ |__ “The man - comes, too,” th policeman said. : “T had forgotten him entire ly!” the girl exclaimed. “Tha’ isn’t right in a chauffeur, I re alize,” she said, turning to me “but you'll soon know the rea son why.” She hummed a tune as we en. tered the forbidding portals. A man whom I took to be the officer in charge was behind the desk. The desk was a huge af- fair and my shoulder but reach- ed the top. The girl was com- pelled to stand on tiptoes to see the uniformed man behind it. J don’t think the officer saw her at all at first for he addressed his questions to me. | “Violating ordinance against passing unloading street ears,” the arresting policeman an- nounced briefly. S The sergeant opened a large book. “Name?” He looked at me and I replied: “ *“Thomas R. Marchbanks.” “Occupation?” “Master mariner.” There were three or four uni- formed policemen standing in the room. There was but one civilian present. He stood slightly behind the desk, not far from where the sergeant. sat. As I gave my name and occupation he looked at me closely and before the sergeant began to form another question he barked; “Search the man!” * Two policemen came forward and ranged themselves on eith- er side of me. The girl grasped ne. desk, dfew herself up, and said: “Here, Mr. Deskpoliceman, if you search everybody you ar- rest for disobeying motor car ordinances you'll get into trou. hle. That man had no more to do with where I was driving than the man in the moon and—” “Search the man!” came the bark from the man in civilian clothes, Then I recollected the pack age L_still carried in my outside coat pocket. At the same time a questioning look from the girl caused me to wonden just What would hapen if that pack- et was found on my person. * “You uniformed chumps!” the man again barked at the policemen. “Can’t you see without a miscroscope? See the evidence he’s passing to the girl?” He had come around the desk and now he wrenched the packet from me and held it up. The sergeant reached out and took it from him. The girl looked at me reproachfully. The sergeant laid the packet on the desk out of the way and began questioning again: “Where do you reside, Cap- tain Marchbanks ?” I gave him the address of my late boarding house. “Where were you going when arrested ?” “To my ‘ship.. It was to sail this afternoon.” That accounts for my hurry.” “What is the name of your! ship?” * +I hesitated. During my short talk with Doctor Rountree the evening before he had not told me the name of the ship. The telephone conversazion had not elicited the name, either, “T don’t know.” The sergeant looked at me for a moment, as if questioning my sanity. Then he turned to the girl: “Nama?” _ thing?” the. sergeant asked. The girl looked at her-watch which she wore on .one wrist. “Speaking accurtaely, I have had my chauffeur’s license on hour, twenty-two minutes anc a few seconds.” “Well, ‘Miss Lowe,” the ser. geant said dryly, “your chauf. feur’s license has cost you a lit tle more than a dollar an hour. For violatting ordinance num. ber 6480 it is now revoked.” , “May I drive the car back to the garage?” she asked. “With an officer accompany- ing ‘you, after a few prelimina- ‘Ties have been arranged.” The man in civilian clothes was now behind the desk again. The sergeant took up the large ‘envelope that had been taken ftom me, slit it open and dumped the contents out’ before im. I was never taken back so badly in my life. There were several packages of currency, some bills being of very Yarge denominations. There must hame been five thousand dollars in all. “Is this what you wanted?" the sergeant asked, turning to the man beside him. “It is the money which was stolen from me yesterday after- noon at about 4 o’clock. I thought instantly of an ali- bi. Where was I at that time? Recollection caused my hopes to fall. It was during this time I was trying to find out what the hunchback meant by star- ing at my window, “Where were you at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon?” The ser- reant asked the question as he wrote a few lines in the bosk before him. “Can you give the lame and address of someone who will appear as a witness for you?” : “The packet was given to me his morning by a Japanese ser- fant at my boarding house. Te skid he had found it in my ‘oom while cleaning up.” “Who was with you—beside he servant—when he gave it © you?” “No one.” “Phone the boarding house,” uggested the mzn in civilian lothes. F gave the sergeant the num- er and he asked for it as soon s central had asked her usual uestion. I heard the one-sided onversation: “Ts the Japanese servant here? I wish to speak to im.” There was a wait of a} ew seconds and the sergeant gain spoke: \ “Did you give Captain March- anks a packet which you found 1 his room this morning?” A wait of perhaps a minute. “Will you come to the Market | treet station at once?” A wait of a second. “All right.” The sergeant umed to me, “The Jap will be here as soon} s he can come. He declares] e did hot give you a packet, | ut claims he saw you hide one 1 a dresser drawer yesterday | fternoon, just after you came| 1. He said he had forgotten he incident until I called him. | t the time he saw you he says | e was lighting a fire in your |; Dom.” “Wait until he comes,” I said, | and I'll confront him. He’s a irty little liar.” ‘Till put you in the holdover ow and you'll be taken to the ounty jail sometime this after- oon.” He turned to the girl. You may go,” He said. “An|. fficer will accompany you to he garage.

Do yot smoke?” She barked the ques: tion at the man in civilian clothes so suddenly that he was taken off his guard. The man looked worried. ‘Tl bet a new powder puft agaisnt a dutch lunch fon all these officers, sergeant, that it you go right away you may catch that servant, but he may have left before now, and if he has, there’s ten chances to one he'll never be found. It’s a frameup against the captain.” The sergeant turned to the man. “Is this a frameup?” he asked sternly. “With all this ery for reform in city affairs T'll be in a pretty pickle’if the newspapers get hold of a story about me sitting-in on a frame- up.” “He robbed me,” the man as- serted. “You switched envelopes on the sergeant,” the girl main- tained. The man had no time to re- ply, as the girl turned to the policeman who had arrested us and asked: “Describe the man who call- ed your attention to the fact that I was violdting the city erdinance!” “Did you have your atten- tion called to, the fact?” thc sergeant asked sharply. “I did not see this particu- lar car in the jam until a yourty man asked me what I meant by letting autos run past cars un- loading passengers. I thought he was a passenger who per- haps had narrowly escaped be- ing run over. He pointed out the car this lady was driving. So I arrested her.” “The young man wore a grey suit, tweed cap, had gold in his front teeth? Perhaps he wore a button insignia of a Greek letter college fraternity?” The girl asked the question as if re- peating a lesson by rote. The policeman and the sergeant both looked at Ler in amaze- ment. “That would describe the young man as wéll as I could de- scribe him,” the policeman said. “I am not sure about the Greek | letter society pin, but I am sure. of the gold teeth and the clothes he wore.” | “You will save yourself, a lot. of trouble, Mr. Policeman,” the’ girl resumed, “if you forget all about this, unless you would arrest that man for switching envelopes on you. My father, Judge Lowe, is out of the citv today, but if you wish I wili reach his attorneys and they will arrange bond for Captain Marchbanks. I want him to act as captain for a trip 1am mak- ing with a number of frienas. We may be gone a week.” “You are Judge Lowe's’ daughter?” the sergeant asked. “Yes, sir.” : “Yl release Captain March- banks to your care, then. - Mil- holland, you and Roach search this man and then turn him cver to the cell-keep-r. I'l see whether a man can play pranks on me and get away with jit.” Two policemen, the same two the civilian-clad man had ac- cused of needing miscroscopes. grasped the man ungently an@ FRIDAY; NOVEMBER. 12; 1929-0 commenced what police officers barre a perl frisk.” “I am sorry I put you to what trouble I have, Miss Lowe,” the Sergeant apologized. “I did not, of course, know that this was merely a prank. Give your father Sergeant Meade’s best regards when you see him. You will produce “Captain March- banks if we need him after he returns from the cruise, will you?” “Any time you say, Sergeant Meade.” e “Then I wish you_a pleasant trip, Miss Lowe. Good morn- ing. Sorry to have troubled you, Captain Marchbanks,” he called after me as we went out. We entered the car and the girl drove rapidly away. We went in the general direction of the waterfront. Not a word Was spoken until we became blocked in a street crush. With the motor engines running we sat in the car while a crossing: policeman strove to straighten’ things, The girl made an ob- servation: “Isn't that policeman watch- ing us?” A policeman walking toward the corner did seem to be. look- ing our way. But I was easy in my mind. “What difference does it make?” T asked carelessly. “Af. ter the sergeant released us for a few days we need not fear this officer.” “But that fat-headed sergeant may have thought to use the televhone,” she replied. “What do you mean?” “T know Judge Lowe is, out of town, but I’m not sure that his daughter is. I was convins- td if we met trouble on the road they would try to stop you by accusing you of stealing. What? Probably a fat envelope. So I, too, carried one—and I know a sleight-of-hand trick or two.” “Then all you said was mere- ly a bluff?” I inquired. I began to fear for our safety, for the officer had now left the side- walk and was edging his way through the tangle of vehicles, coming toward us. “T bluffed,” the girl admitted. “But if they caught us the sec- ond time—” “Look there!” I exclaimed, poining to a man following the officer. “Isn’t that the man rss envelopes you switch- ed?” The girl looked and for the first time since I had been with her she_ seemed to lose her nerve, I felt her arm tremble.
