Nov. 20—We were called on a few days ago to pause, pay a tribute to one of the great men of our race who had gone to his eternal rest. Bishop Evans Tyree, of Nashville, Tenn., who died November 13, and was buried November 16, the funeral was preached by Bishop John Hurst. Most of the bishops and a few of the general officers were present. I am in Texas as you see, and this is my third week here, but will be away before you can read this letter. I am going to have a few things to say about this trip down here. I am now at the home of Mine. Nobie Franklin-McCoy, who is the sole proprietor and inventor and establisher of Madam N. A. Franklin's System of Beauty work, and in this line she is at the head of the class, and put it down that I told you she will make the world know that she has been here and all by her works. Perhaps it would be of interest to you to know that she is yet a young woman, having arrived in this world via Cuero, Texas, just how many years ago I do not know, but she went to public school there and got all they were prepared to dish out there and then continued to study until she had studied herself into a lucrative business. It was about 10 years ago, with faith in her system and trusting God, with less than $10 She opened her business in Fort Worth, Texas, making good there. She had to do the work herself, and even was her own janitor, house girl, cook and dish washer. Upon her knees one day she promised God to serve Him, and she had only a desire to get in a position where she could be of service, and from that day her business started up. She had to get one girl, then another and another. Next found her down in Houston, Texas, opening a branch for her business, and it has grown and grown, until now she keeps busy right in Houston 150 women every day in the week, and they get a lucrative salary. About a year ago she jumped over the broomstick, becoming the wife of W. L. McCoy, one of the leading young men of our race. He is a lawyer, a newspaper man and practical printer. He was manager of the Western Star, the official organ of the Missoinary and Educational convention of Texas. He met this business woman, who was struggling alone. He took some interest in the business saw that she got before the public, and soon there was heard those uniting words, "What God has joined together,' and now side by side they are developing the great business. A lovely home has been We thank you for and w A MERRY A. B.

The system is spreading all over the country, and the women are loud in their praise of this wonderful woman. Before leaving this, I am here to tell you that Prof. McCoy and his wife are Christian people, and they serve God and the people. They are God's stewards, and will use His money where it is most needed. They believe in the church, in Christian institutions and are willing to help those who need help. I have had the pleasure of going to their parlors, to their home, and believe me that can be reached without any ceremony or without going through a private secretary. "We believe in the people," said Mme. Franklin-McCoy, "and we want to serve them. I want to be educated to my people and not away from them." I am going to tell you in another letter about their business house, for I am here to tell you that Bishop William Decker Johnson is a remarkable man, and he is making friends and doing good things for the church. He is going right into the hearts of the people of Texas, and already they are declaring that he will have to remain here another whole term, that is, they are going to keep, him in Texas eight years. He is saynig some real good things to the people and they are taking hold of what he savs and ting them become a part of their code. He is a youn gman and believe me when I tell you a giant at that. I was in G'dings to conference when there arose some very delicate questions between the preachers and it was wonderful to see how Bishop Johnson got rid of them and at the same time kept them together. He will not permit men to cut each other, nor will he allow a presiding eld erto kill a man because he don't like him. Bishop Johnson came from down stairs, and he will allow his love to go to the down stairs brother. He went through public school, and then went through the school of experience. He knows what it is to suffer on a mission, then on a circuit, then station, presiding elder, and remained in one conference a quarter of a century and now he is with his friends. He is going to be a model bishop, and will do great things for his church and people. There are a few candidates in this section of the country. Rev. G. B. Young, of Wesley Chapel, this city, will have his name before his church for the bishopric, and he is a strong well trained young minister, and would do justice to the bench. Then there are Revs. P. C. Hunt, H. A. Carr, E. J. Howard, W. D. Miller, and a host of others. Dr. S. J. Johnson wants to be secretary of Church Extension, but he will have to beat some others. Dr. B. F. Watson has the work on his finger tips, and is the best secretary that has ever been in that department, and he should remain there until he is called up THE MEMBERS OF THE MEMBERSHIP Group of newspaper, professional and business men, coming from all parts of the country, who were special guests during Thanksgiving week, of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron E.

A., Tulsa, Okla., reciting an automobile accident of which he was one of its occupants, and while the car turned over on him and the driver, both were released, with only a few bruises and a change of clothes. It happened on one of the auto thoroughfares of the city, when their car collided with another car going in the opposite direction. We regret very much to learn of this accident, but were truly glad to know it was not serious. But we expect the experience was enough. Of course the car was a Ford. CIRCULATING MANAGER OF ADVOCATE TO BE MARRIED Mrs. Lottie D. Hall, circulating manager of The Advocate, and who has been with it since its inauguration, left Tuesday evening for Salt Lake City, Utah, where she will be married immediately to the Rev. B. F. McCulley, pastor of the A. M. E. church of that city. Rev. McCully is one of the prominent ministers of the Colorado conference and is a widower. The Advocate regrets very much in losing the services of this noble and splendid woman. Also this community will lose one of its noblest Christian characters. The Advocate wishes for her a life of happiness and sunshine and congratulates this fortunate minister in his choice of a real Christian wife and co-worker. home. This is not the time for that discussion. You see I went from Beaumont to Giddings, and from Giddings to this place, reaching here at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. McCoy heard that I was coming and he was right here to meet me at 5 o'clock in the morning, in his Hudson super-something. He toted me over to his palatial quarters and had me take a sleep before going to church. He is a genial fellow and knows how to treat a fellow. He has toted me to church and other places, filled my eternity, and then he has a number of young chickens, not ripe enough to pick, but says just as soon as they are ripe enough he is going to invite me to help to pick a few of them, and the invitation will be accepted, for I am right now ready for the question. I have been doing some getting around here, and will leave from here to go to Beaumont, Texarkana and then to Poro college to witness the opening of the annex, which I will tell you about in my next letter. Hope you will be ready to receive the information as it shall come from my little head to yours. I have some other things to say. I expect to pay my respects to President Warren G. Harding, for he has won the country, and he is now in the hearts of the people, and I want him to remain there. I think I have said enough for this time. J. O.

LAMBRIGHT COAL COMPANY IS LAUNCHING OUT FOR OTHER BUSINESS The well known Lambright Coal & Fuel Company that was organized and incorporated early in the year with yards and offices at 1620 North Third street, thus far has been a decided success. Mr. Lambright, the president and general manager of the company, is always on the alert when it comes to business acumen. The latest big deal of Mr. Lambright was made recently of a long lease on a 500-acre tract of land just east of the foot of Grecley avenue. On this tract is more than 400,000 feet of lumber which he was to have and hundreds of thousands of smaller timbers that are fit for mine props and caps. In the shrewdness of Mr. Lambright he had sold every foot of lumber and the smaller timbers before taking the lease. He has at this time nearly a score of workmen felling the trees and cutting them into lengths, according to purchasers' contract, and in a few days a sawmill will be on the grounds to saw it up. Soon as the timber is removed the land will be cleaned up and put under cultivation this coming year. Mr. W. M. Redman, an experienced man of ability, is the general superintendent on the job. They have already shipped a number of carloads of mine props and caps. Mr. Lambright is to be congratulated in beating out a number of well known business men in the two cities in securing the long years' lease on this valuable tract of land. STEWARDESS BOARD ENTER. TAINS The Junior Stewardess Board of the C. M. E. church at Eighth street and Oakalnd avenue, was entertained by Mrs. Frank Wilson, at the residence of Mrs. C. R. Johnson, 1964 North Sixth street, on last Wednesday afternoon. Quite a number of visitors were present, namely: Rev. Ross, Mrs. M. Moonhead, Mrs. Wm. Price, Mrs. M. Jackson, Mrs. Lucas, Mrs. Alberta Johnson, Miss Gertrude Johnson. A delightful program was rendered, after which a dainty luncheon was served, a color scheme of pink and white was carried to perfection. The meeting was a success financially and socially. Everyone reported an enjoyable afternoon, thanks to the lovely hostess, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Blakeney, 2065 North Third street, have gone to Leavenworth to live, where Mr. Blakeney is employed by the government. Mrs. Blakeney was formerly Miss Frances Stanley and was married to Mr. Blakeney September 15, 1920.

She had been in poor health for about two years, but had only been seriously ill the past few month. She lived at Bonner Springs, and was buried from there Thursday. She leaves to mourn their loss, one daughter, Edith Hall; two sons, Herbert and Henry; the ee sisters, Mrs. Grimes, Lawrence, Kansas; Mrs. Cora Basil, Miss Pearl Stanford; one brother, William Stanford, of Kansas City, Kansas; one aunt and one uncle and a host of admiring friends. The many friends of this city and the deceased's home town extend to the bereaved their sincere sympathy in their hour of sorrow. CHRISTIAN WORKERS' INSTITUTE Mrs. M. C. Matthews was more busy than usual this week. She attended all sessions of the Christian Institute and wrote a paper highly praised at the white First Baptist church, and was invited to supper right with them by Mr. Spake, pastor, and some of the ladies. Dr. Traile, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Eubanks, from China, and others from large cities of the United States were in the faculty. C. S. Young, 863 Ella avenue, has been on the sick list for several days but is improving, of which his friends will be pleased to know. they BISHOP JOHNSON CAME UP FROM A. M. E. RANKS Was Wedded When He Had But One Room in Which to Live Rockdale, Texas.—Here I am in Texas this week, and will be away from here before you can say seat, but there have been many things to claim, my attention, and you will have to share some of them with me this week, so here it is looking at you until you are through looking. You see you have never made a world, hence, you can't tell about all the people in another world, and you don't know much about the world to which you are journeying when you leave here. This has been with me two or three weeks full of inspiration, and I am as happy as a Junebug before June and after July. People are making other people happy, and I have shared the companionship of one more great man in this world, Dr. William Decker Johnson, a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal church, a man who is a friend to his brothers and who is doing so much for them. Bishop Johnson has been accompanied by his wife, who is in every particular a great woman, a woman of great parts. She is interested in the children and believe me honey she is a mother herself. Not a single mother, but I think her children will run up to a dozen, and in this she is happy. She delights in telling the people about her marriage. When Bishop Johnson took upon himself a bride, his clothes did not lack for ventilation, for he had plenty of that from the room of his pants to his knees, and this was a sign of progress. She accepted him ventilation and all, and moved into her beautiful mansion consisting of one room, kitchen, parlor, sitting room, living room, cating room and all. There was happiness in that one room, a thing which should be sought above everything else. They started out together on that mission, and the children began to arrive. He worked hard, and promotions came fast until he got to a circuit, then a station, then a presiding elder, and his ability and faithful service kept up his advancement. Secretary of his conference for a quarter of a century; secretary of the trustee board of Morris Brown college, presiding elder, secretary of the general conference, and on his way up and up until he got to the top last May, and believe me he is a real bishop and is making friends. He will be a much sought man after this. (Concluded on Third Page) g Loose ME TO THIS STORE BIG 9-DAY SALE Marked Way Down ADVOCATE ee THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. si ee eH Thos.

His sermon did not return void as some joined the church. The prettiest song sung was "Jesus Paid It All," and some united with the church. At night he preached to a large number, and the white-gloved ushers took up large offerings. This Sunday, December 19, a Christmas service will be held and Christmas music will be rendered by the choir, as well as the following Sunday. Come and hear the beautiful anthems. Christmas eve the Sunday school will render a program. Mrs. Brown, mother of Dr. Holmes, is sick at her daughter's on State avenue. Mrs. Williams, on Greeley avenue, is reported to be in need of assistance. CITIZENS' FORUM A large number attended the meeting of the Forum at Metropolitan Temple December 12. On account of the president and vice-president being sick, Prof. C. Crews of Western University presided. After opening with devotionals, quotations and current events were given, and at intervals music as follows: Instrumental duet, very pretty, by Misses White and W. Dwiggins. The main feature was an address on the Advancement of the Colored Race, by Prof. Herriford, It was much praised. The piano solo, by Mme. Summers, one of the finest musicians and music teachers in the United States, was a very classical treat and highly complimented. Many visitors were present from Kansas City, Mo., and the Groves from Edwardsville, the wealthiest of our colored people in the Middle West, were present. Next Sunday, December 19, Dr. Dibble of Kansas City, Mo., will speak. Hear him. The officers will not be elected until the third Sunday in this month. Come to the Forum and enjoy its intellectual fests. BIBLE CLASS Mrs. George Brown, at 923 Oakland avenue, requested Mrs. Matthews and others to meet at her home and reopen the Neighbors' Bible Class, also to practice Christmas carols and carols for the seik and aged. The Neighbors' Bible class was the first body led by women which had converts, who joined different churches. Mr. Tilford Davis, who has been sick a week attended Forum Sunday and resumed his mail carrying Monday. 7-YEAR-OLD EVANGELIST AT PLEASANT GREEN SUNDAY The seven-year-old evangelist, the boy wonder, will preach at the Pleasant Green Baptist church next Sunday evening. This will be the first appearance in Kansas City, Kansas, of this noted boy preacher. Pastor George McNeal, of this great church, says this youthful evangelist is no novel, but a strong and forceful messenger of God. BARBER CUTS PRICES. R.B.Brown, proprietor of one of our leading shaving parlors, at Fifth street and Oakland avenue, has reduced his hair cuts from 50 cents to 40 cents; shaves at 20 cents and all other work proportionately reduced. Mr. Brown has on his first chair a Chicoo barber, and I said he is some hair cutter. Brown says he is the prince of hair cutters, and only she to be given a trial to convince you. NEW MEAT MARKET Mr. Harry Malone, one of the city's prominent and successful business men, opened up yesterday at 732 Minnesota avenue, one of the finest and most up-to-date meat markets on the avenue. While Mr. Malone has been in the business some time on a smaller scale, he discarded everything and installed an entire new modern sanitary market. Mr. Malone says he will carry nothing but the highest grades in the meat line, and will sell at lowest possible cash price. As this end of the avenue has long been needing a first-class meat market, there is no doubt of its success, with such an experienced business man as Mr. Malone. Mrs. W. L. King and baby have returned home, 535 New Jersey, after spending several months with her mother in Emporia, Kansas. BISHOP JOHNSON CAME UP FROM A.M.E.RANKS (Continued from First Page) But I am not going to take up all your time talking about Bishop Johnson, for he is surrounded with some great men, and I would like to speak of some of them. Texas has given to the A. M. E. church some real men, men of worth, men who have made the world sit up and take notice. In this number is to be found Bishop Grant, Bishop Armstrong, but they have passed on, hence I will mention some of the present active men. Dr. J. W. Rankin, the present missionary secretary, the best the church has ever had; then I would mention A. S. Jackson, secretary of education, one of the fnest officials in the country. He is doing his work and doing it well. Then there is Rev. F. W. Warren, a presiding elder; Dr. E. J. Howard, who is going to be a bishop in his church, and perhaps during the next general conference. Dr. H. A. Carr is another great aspirant and he is making good; Dr. G. B. Young, a college graduate; Dr. D. S. Moten, the Latin scholar; Dr. S. B. Butler; well I will refrain from comment. Dr. J. B. Butler is his connectional evangelist. Good for him. I will mention some others, but time will not permit me to do this. I have been put in a cussing humor this week, for it makes my blood run cold when I see these married men passing for single men, taking up time with these little single gals. Why? What is a motive in a man telling a woman that he is single when he is way over head married. I am unable to account for it. I had a talk with a photographer named Teal, the other day, who was just falling over himself with a little girl, whose dresses had not been lowered to her shoe tops, and just a little below her knees, a little girl in school. This fine looking young man had a wife at home, who loves him just like her own life, yet he finds pleasure in the young frying size. Such things often land a fellow in trouble, and he calls upon all of his friends to get him out. My advice to him is to stay out while he is not But friends, we are now facing Christmas, and if you have a Christmas present for me, send it to 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago. I am told I am going to get a turkey from some friend in Texas, and then I am told that there is an o'pesson coming from Tuskegee, and a turkey from that same place—that is where it is coming from, and bless your soul, honey I am going to eat turkey until I want no more. The year is coming to a close. I wrote you the last time from Fort Worth, when I was with Dr. Wallis, the tooth-dentist-doctor, and I left him in company with Mrs. L. M. Hughes, of this state, a woman of ability and worth. I went to see how she was getting along, for her husband was pastor at Cameron. I found that he was in the hearts of the people there, and they gave him a banquet, and made me one of their honor guests, with Bishop W. D. Johnson and his wife. It was a nice affair, and when I was through I went to the home of a teacher, and slept like a log until the next day. Visited the school and left in the evening for the place I am right now. I am here, and I will soon be gone. It will be hard for the United States mail to catch me now until I reach Chicago. This letter is on its way to you and I am on my way to—I can't tell where. Prey for me, for knotty problems are confronting me just now. I will have a few things to say to you in my next letter when it comes. I am going to Waco to attend a banquet, with Bishop Johnson, then I am going to Austin, and will have to tell you all about these things next week. I will have something to say to you in a short time about the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. You must begin now to get ready for that great meeting. They are going over the top in Topeka, Kansas, next August. God bless you. Look for my letters, for they are going to have a few things to talk about. Dr. T. H. Smith, presiding elder of the El Paso district, in the Central Texas Conference, called attention to the fact that the conference was large and covered too much territory, hence could not do the good that it should. He offered a resolution, which provided for the making of another conference. It went right through, and the conference will be divided, and the new one will be the Northwest Texas Conference and will take in FI Paso. Dr. Smith was wise in his resolution and will live in the hearts of the men. Larger things are in store for him.

I was gl bells sounded and C Synopsis:—A disgraced sailing master, Marchbanks, is engaged by a mysterious hunchback, to sail a steamer down the Pacific coast of Central America, on a mysterious errand. He discovers that the car carrying him to the vessel is in charge of a young lady who wears a chauffeur's uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the vessel. They are arrested and taken to a police station. They are released by the desk sergeant in charge when the girl impersonates the daughter of a prominent political "boss." Marchbanks attempts to pay a second chauffeur and is accused of passing counterfeit money. Finally they reach the vessel, the "Cleo." They are pursued by a tug, and Miss Person a passenger jumps overboard to join a man on the small boat. The tug is repelled with hot water. "Beg pardon, Captain Marchbanks, for what I am going to ask you, but have you any money which was paid you by the hunchabek owner below?" "Why do you ask that?" I said. "Hereafter, if you have occasion to refer to the owner of this vessel, call him Doctor Rountjee." "I knew you would be angry, sir, at my question." "Why do you ask?" "Two or three of the men below were paid money by the owner before we left port. In every case, when they tried to spend it, it was declared counterfeit." I recollected then my min-in with the chauffeur of the taxicab. I was sure I had paid him with a bill Doctor Rountree had given me, as I had but a few dollars and that in silver, with me. My small bank account I had left intact. "Perhaps Doctor Rountree did not want the men to become intoxicated and prevented it by giving them some worthless bills he happened to have about him. I've seen that done in Honolulu harbor several times by skippers. The money always was redeemed afterward. If any of the men speak about it, tell them to come to me and I will give them coin for their bills. Or, if they will keep it, as they need no money aboard ship, I will see that the matter is squared up before they go ashore." "Ill do that, sir," the man replied, his mind at ease, although mine was not. It was a trick I had never before heard of, but the fib about the practice in Honolulu did no harm. I did not want the men forward to think the owner was a counterfeiter or a dealer in counterfeit money. I made up my mind to see Doctor Rountree about the matter in the morning. Then I told the man he might go below and steer if he wished, as the wind on the bridge was growing unpleasant. We were out of sight of land, but the breeze S.

Tömpkins, ..... proprietors PAGE FOUR --- "Why do you ask?" was blowing briskly and the white-tops hit us beam on, giving the little steamer a crazy motion that I knew would make anyone not a real sailor very sick. I was glad when eight bells sounded and Crawford relieved me. After Archibald had served me a cup of coffee I turned in and forgot all about the expedition in the sound slumber that followed. For days we steamed southwest, always keeping the coast about half a day's sail away. Usually I dined tete-a-tete with Miss Rountree—Elsie, as I grew to call her. The wind was still abeam, and the rest of the party were struggling with mal demer. Once Miss Rountree invited McCabe, the chief engineer, to dine with us. He was a likeable fellow, and a thorough master of his trade, as we found after a few days' voyage, when the engines of the Cleo showed they were almost worn out. But McCabe kept the propellers churning the blue Pacific and each day brought us nearer—what? I did not mention the incident of the counterfeit money to the girl although I broached the subject to Crawford. His experience ad been similar to mine, but as he had had other money in his pocket at the time he had not thought to blame Doctor Rountree. I practiced shooting until I was very accurate with the revolver Elsie had slipped into my hand the day of the trouble with Mr. Person. After we reached the region of the little flying fishes, I practiced on them. The day we reached the point where we were to ally to and wait for high tide, to bear us up the Osso river. I would have matched markmanship with any man, anywhere. I took the sun one day and went below to find Doctor Rountree. I had met him but once or twice during the trip down, and then he had appeared to be sick. This day he was able to sit up and seemed well. "We will enter Ocos river about midnight tonight, doctor," I informed him. "I will try to make it up as far as the tide will allow before daylight. After you have rested on a steady bottom for a few days you will be well enough to attempt the land trip." "I would like to start early tomorrow morning if I can, Captain Marchbanks," he said. "Will you be able?" I asked. "That is not the question. Every minute we delay means a hundred chances against th esuccess of the expedition. I have not yet decided on the personnel of the party. My daughter tells me you will go along. If you can I would like to have you." "I'll go, of course," I replied. "If I were to choose the party, I'd pick the chief engineer, McCabe, also. He's resourceful and he's been tossed about Alaskan shores for so many years that death is a mere plaything to him. I would like to have Crawford along, but his foot makes it impossible for him to go.

I have no doubt but we are being followed, although Fred does not know of the navigability of the Ocos river. If we can hide the vessel there he may miss us, although there is little chance that we will not meet him inland." "He knows about what we are after then?" I took the liberty to ask. "Certainly," Doctor Rountree replied. At dark that night I ordered the ship's lights out. I had suic father were out to me out of my arm around move, but she her father s pointed cut searching for tor touched she went be detect the him. I pa she left me. Still the s fro across the us again am I saw to it personally that, every port was screened and when the ship was headed eastward the darkness hid us as effectively as if we were preparing to run through a submarine infested region. I had the searchlight rigged to a port in the forecastle so that its rays would not be visible except for a few hundred yards ahead. I depended upon raising a few lights at Porto Ocos. By keeping these well to the south I figured that my seamanship would bring us safely into the mouth of the river. McCabe, although off watch, stayed with his engines, and Crawford never left the bridge except for a bite of dinner. There wasn't a light visible, above decks except the binnacle light. Even as we headed east a cloud bank became visible off to the south-west and before we had covered half the distance to the mouth of the river it had overtaken us and blotted out the moon and stars. I knew we were to have one of the sudden and violent tropical storms common in that region and I didn't relish the idea of running into an uncharted river during one, so I signaled for full speed ahead and I could feel the extra surge of the vessel as McCabe gave his engines all they could stand. I was trying to outrun the storm. "We'll never make out the Ocos lights tonight," Crawford yelled in my ear. The wind was beating us in the face so that conversation was difficult. "If we fail to make them it's one chance out of a thousand whether we find the mouth of the river or land high and dry on a sandbar," I said. "If I was sure the time was right I'd put back and have another go tomorrow night." "There's no anchorage at Ocos?" "It's only a open-sea roadstead," I explained. "They lighter vessels two miles out with whaleboats. There was a good port there, but the Santa Marie earthquake changed the coast. They have piers there—fine steel piers—that are rusting from disuse a mile from salt water." Crawford was not easy in his mind. He looked first at the binnacle; then at the spray-flecked sea. There was no fog, but one could not see half a cable's length. The boy looked relieved when I went to the engineer's signal. As the ship's sped decreased he nodded approvingly. "We were going this way the night the Skagway Castle broke her ribs," he explained. "You see, you can't b'ame me for a little nervousness." We stood side by side and tried to pierce the glom ahead. I turned to look back, when Crawford's hadn gri ped my shoulder. "What's that?" he asked. A thin streak of light shot to the sky, hesitated there a second and then came down and swept over the sea. Once it rested on us for an instant, but it was a weak light that penetrated the storm. Then it swung back and forth as if searching for something. "There's a vessel and they're searching for us," Crawford said. "Could they have made it by this time?" I asked. I knew it was possible, but I wanted someone to back up my judgment. Crawford did so. "Anyone who knew the Cleo could have chartered a vessel and run down here ahead of us. By a little calculation they could tell just when we would make Ocos." "We'll veer north a little, then. I think that vessel is standing off the port." Crawford stepped over and changed our course. CANDIES CIGARS AND TOBACCOS Prescriptions Our Specialty Bell West 4101 I. had supposed Elsie and her father were asleep, but she came up to me out of the darkness and I put my arm around her waist. She did not move, but snuggled closely. I saw her father speak to Crawford, who pointed cut the finger of light searching for—something. The doctor touched his daughter's elbow and she went below with him. I could detect the smell of whiskey about him. I patted Elsie's shoulder as she left me. Still the searchlight swung to and fro across the waters. Once it made us again and shone somewhat more brightly, striking us broadside, as it were, but lighting the ship's whole side for perhaps two seconds. Then it swung away again, and kept up its interminable search. We headed more into the north. I was peering into the darkness when Elsie again came to my side. She drew herself up until her mouth was at my ear. "When that light shone through the ports, a minute ago," she said, "father was convinced that we were discovered and he shot and killed himself." I put my arm around the girl and caug't her as she fainted. Not desiring to leave the bridge just then I placed the girl in a reclining position, with my coat for a pillow. I was aware that she had merely fainted and that, sooner or later, in the wind and spray, she would recover. And something was now worrying me even more than the ever-present searchlight. I had detected a line of breakers ahead. While the sandy beach would not break up the vessel, I was too much interested in the mistress of the expedition to care to make a failure of the trip—at its tail-erd, so to speak. A bulky form mounted to the bridge, and for a moment I was about to draw my revolver, when I made it out to he Archibald, the Negro. Placing his lips to my ear, he imparted the information: "Doctor Rountree has committed suicide. When the searchlight penetrated the cabin port he thought it portended failure and he could not stand it." "Miss Rountree told me that five minutes ago," I told him. "Are you going on?" he asked. "In spite of hell!" I yelled in his ear. "Within the next twenty minutes we'll be piled up on the beach and ruined or we'll be steaming up Ocos river out of the way of that searchlight." I expected the man to show signs of fright. As well as I could judge he was unemotional. Mrs. James Barlow (Mme C. J. Walker System) hair dresser, 326 Parallel avenue, Kansas City, Kans.
