TWO NEGROES ELECTED TO HOUSE LIFTING LIFT TOO State Histor State Historical Society 2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy TWO COUSIN OF CLARENCE C. WHITE SUCCUMBS TO LONG ILLNESS Mrs. Ora A. Smith, wife of H. W. Smitr, 2015 North Twenty-third street died Tuesday, October 26, after a pro- tracted illness. The funeral was held Friday afternoon from Jones' Funeral Home, the Rev. T. W. Kidd, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, officiating. Interment was in Forest Lawn. Mrs. Smith, whose maiden name was Ora A. Conner, was born in Selma, O., and was married to Mr. Smith in February, 1907. They moved to Omaha in 1910, where they have since resided. Mrs. Smith was a cousin of Clarence Cameron White, the famous violinist. She is survived by her husband, two sisters, Mrs. Ella Wilson of Columbus, O.; Mrs. Emma Ransom, wife of Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom of Ocean Point, N. J.; and three brothers, Dr. W. H. Conner of Fort Wayne, Ind., L. J. Conner of Chicago and Joseph C. Conner of Springfield, O. L. J. Conner was present at the funeral. NEGRO BUSINESS HOLDS REWARDS Chicago, Ill.—That fine reward awaits the man or woman who embarks in Negro business and brings to the effort ability and 100 percent was demonstrated in a way which all Chicago appreciates when official announcement was made this week of the election of Mr. Edward H. Gary, director of agencies of the Liberty Late Insurance company of Illinois, to the vicepresidency of the company. This promotion comes in recognition of the wonderful work done by Mr. Gary in building an agency force which put on the books of the company over nine million dollars of business in the five years that the company has operated. This is the second recognition of Mr. Gary's worth by the company in less than a year, as last March he was elected a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Cary will now assume charge of a real estate department, dealing in insurance, real estate, mortgage and bonds, in addition to his work connected with the sales force of the company. "There is no finer a salesman anywhere than Mr. E. H. Cary," President M. O. Bousfield said in announcing this promotion, "Mr. Cary's long and faithful services to Liberty Life entitled him to the choice when we began to look for a man to head this important department of our work." Mr. Cary's successor as director of Agencies is Mr. Luther F. Simpkins, who has served under Mr. Cary nearly the whole time as assistant director of agencies and educational director. Mr. Simpkins has made an enviable reputation as a salesman and a teacher and deserves this appointment. In these promotions is seen Liberty's policy of promoting men in recognition of their merit and service. PICKENS TO GO ABROAD New York—The international conference for the suppression of violence in the colonies will be held in Brussels, Belgium, in the middle of January.

William Pickens, field secretary, will attend. LIVES WITH BROKEN NECK Helena, Ark.—Although his neck was broken when an automobile he was driving overturned, S. D. Prewitt, a rural mail carrier, continues to live. He is paralyzed with the exception of his arms. THE MONITOR UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PROMOTES COLOKED STAR Berkely, Cal.—(Pacific News Bureau).—Robert Francis, former star player in his prep days as captain of the Polytechnic high School team of San Francisco, who was sidetracked to the substitute bench by the late Andy Smith, has finally, after two years of waiting, been promoted to his rightful position as a member of the varsity squad. Francis, a sensational halfback in his prep days, was switted to the line by Smith when he entered the University of California. Failing to function with merit in this position, he was side-tracked to the bench. This year after defeats by St. Mary's, the Oregon Aggies and the University of Southern California, Coach Clarence Price in seeking new material for positions left unoccupied through injuries, decided to give Francis his chance with the varsity as tackie replacing Fred Coltrim, who with Poisson of Stanford university and Brice Taylor (colored) of University- of Southern California, are rated as the best tackles on the coast. Coltrin was injured in the recent game with the University of Southern California. FEDERAL, AUTOMOBILE ASSN. APPOINTS 5,500-A-YEAR HEAD Washington, D. C.—William M. Dent of Baltimore, Md., has been secured by the Federal Automobile Association, Inc., of Washington, D. C., as their national director of districts and auditor. Mr. Dent as ad over ten years' experience in the business world as a publicity man and public accountant during which time he was managing editor of the Detroit Leader, auditor and director of the "Your Cab Company," Chicago, Ill., which company he helped organize, and the Liberty Life Insurance company of Illinois at Chicago, of which company he was auditor and is a life member of the advisory board of directors. Mr. Dent will be a great asset to F. A. D., due to wide acquaintance and general business experience. He is especially fortunate in that he was a close personal friend, as well as a business associate of the late Frank L. Gillespie, who was considered by many of both races as the financial genius of the present century. WINNER OF LEGISLATIVE SEAT FROM NINTH DISTRICT Dr. John A. Singleton is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Singleton. He was born in Omaha, July 29, 1895. He is a graduate of Central High school and of Howard university, Washington, D.C. He is a practicing dentist. Dr. Singleton is married and has three children, his wife being formerly Miss Daisy Goring of New York. He is a home owner and taxpayer. He is a member of the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon, of the Masons and other fraternities. NEGROES LEAVE MPHERSON CHURCH. Los Angeles.—There has been a considerable exodus from colored churches here of members who have been attracted by the magnetic leadership of Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, white pastor, head of the famous Angelus Temple and its various branches. She has had a policy of treating all alike, making all nations welcome, and using colored singers in the choir. As the scandal filled trial, in which Mrs. McPherson, her mother, and a man named Ormiston are co-defendants, draws near to some startling climaxes, quite a few of her colored members are said to be deserting and returning to their mother churches. TWENTY-FIVE COLORED ACTORS IN "FIGHTING LOVE" Culver City, Calif.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau)—Bertram Millhauser, the brilliant scenarist who is adapting the story "Porgy" for an all colored super-feature, is also starring Jetta Coudal, seen in "Three Faces East", and directed by Chrislander, of the DeMille studios.

Populus locutus est. The people have spoken. They have declared their will at the ballot box. Feverish excitement has subsided. A reasonable normalcy will now obtain among the American populace until another election draweth nigh. Viewing the election nationally there have been some surprises. Substantial gains were made in Senate and House by the democrats, but not quite enough to give them control. The balance is so suspended that the republican "insurgents" or "irregulars", like Norris, Brookhart, et al, can easily tip the scale "twixt south and southwest side." Nebraska is one of the bright spots of republican victory, made so, be it remembered, by Douglas county, although the state has lost a republican congressman in the person of McLaughlin of the fourth who was defeated by Norton. This makes the delegation four democrats and two republicans. The congressional delegation consists of John H. Morehead, democrat, first, re-elected; Willis G. Sears, republican, second, re-elected by over 10,000; Edgar Howard, democrat, third, re-elected; John Norton, democrat, fourth, who has just defeated McLaughlin; A. C. Shallenberger, fifth, re-elected; and Robert Simmons, republican, sixth. Douglas county, too, also saved Governor McMullen. His 5,000 majority in Douglas county is all that saved the day for him. It can be said with truth that the Negro vote of Douglas county, something over 4,000, was responsible for Governor McMullen's election. The outstanding feature for our group in Omaha is the election of Barnett and Singleton to the State Legislature. Thank God, we have at last forced open the door to legislative representation which has been closed to us for over thirty years. In the early nineties Dr. M. O. Ricketts was twice elected to the State Legislature, where he acquitted himself with distinction, and was recognized as one of the most useful members of the house. But since that time the door has been closed and barred. The election of a Negro has been considered an impossibility. The election, therefore, of two at this time is a signal victory, which must be taken full advantage of as it is an earnest of greater things. The Monitor feels confident that their constituents will hahve no reason to regret the confidence they have placed in Barnett and Singleton in electing them. The Monitor feels that it has a share in this victory inasmuch as we have insistently urged our people to lay aside petty criticisms and personal likes and dislikes and get unitedly behind these two candidates. The chief interest in Douglas county centered in the contest for sheriff. Charles B. McDonald, the republican candidate, supported by the Ku Klux Klan, the "Dennison machine" and the "Smith-Ure-Howell machine" defeated John Hopkins, democrat, by about 5,000 votes. Considering the tremendous odds against Hopkins he is to be congratulated upon the splendid showing he made. The Monitor is particularly gratified over the stand taken in his behalf by the colored voters. This independence augurs well for the future. In every ward where the colored vote is strong Hopkins polled a heavy vote. In the rock-ribbed republican second ward, despite the herculean efforts made to roll up a big majority for McDonald, he carried it by only 152. The third ward, another strong republican ward, confidently counted on by McDonald backers, gave Hopkins a majority of 152. The fifth was carried by Hopkins by 714 and the sixth was carried by McDonald by 30 votes. In all of these wards, and three of them in particular, there is a heavy colored vote. This shows that the colored voter knew his mind and knew how to scratch his ballot. Bauman, the only democrat elected, and whose election, like that of Hopkins, The Monitor advocated, also ran big in these wards. The strongest Kluxer wards in the city are the first, the ninth, the eleventh and the twelfth. McDonald carried the first by 1,542 votes, the ninth by 992, the eleventh by 964, and the twelfth by 940. It is also said that "the invisible empire" is comparatively strong in the tenth. McDonald carried this by 873. In other words, of the 5,766 votes by which McDonald defeated Hopkins ONLY 5,311 were cast for him in the wards where the Klan is reputed to be the strongest. No, there is nothing significant about this! It just happened. That's all. Of more importance to us, as a group, however, than the elec- Elected to State Legislature John A. Singleton F. L. Barnett tion of the sheriff, because, we as a rule, are law-abiding citizens, was the election of the seven members of the Board of Education. We believe the seven men elected, six for the long term, and one for the short, are men of excellent business ability and fair-mindedness. Four of the seven chosen, namely Fitzgerald, Higgins, Miller and Bergquist, were endorsed by The Monitor. Burke, Mason and Loomis were the others chosen. The return of Congressman Sears was the right thing to do, because of his experience and the important place he holds, especially in connection with Missouri river improvement. Taken all in all, the election, despite its peculiar angles, has been quite satisfactory. It is to be noticed that whoever is elected the sun still shines, God still reigns and the government still lives. The battle of ballots is over. Let everybody shake hands and be good friends and prove themselves good American citizens. Vol. XII.—No. 19 REPUBLICANS ELECT TWO RACE CANDIDATES TO THE LEGISLATURE Singleton Scores Victory in Ninth and Barnett Wins in Tenth Legislative Districts by Good Margins. THIRTY-YEAR DROUTH BROKEN Despite Largely Increased Population No Negro Had Been Elected to the Nebraska Legislature Since Early Nineties. Breaking a political drouth of over thirty years, the Republicans of Douglas county elected two Negroes to the State Legislature Tuesday. Dr. John A. Singleton defeated his democrat opponent, J. J. Barry, in the Ninth district, by 361 votes and F. L. Barnett distanced both his democrat and progressive opponents, R. E. Roche, and C. C. Bogue, in the Tenth, winning ober Roche, his closest competitor, by 141 votes. Singleton's vote was 1,495 as against Barry's 1,131; and Barnett's 1,076 as against Roche's 936. An analysis of returns from various precincts shows that the race, in accordance with the Monitor's request to lay aside all petty criticisms and personal likes and dislikes and vote for these candidates, stood toyally back of them. Discriminating intelligence in the use of the ballot was shown, for while many ballots were scratched on the candidates for Sheriff and County Treasurer, the vote was straight for other candidates. McMullen ran strong in these districts. For the first time since the early nineties, when Dr. M. O. Rickett's was twice elected to the legislature from Douglas county, the race will see not only one but two of its members in the house of representatives. It should be borne in mind that while both Singleton and Barnett are members of the colored race, they have been chosen not as the representatives of the colored race, but of all the people of their respective districts. The republican landslide in Douglas county swept into office every republican candidate with the exception of Otto J. Bauman, democrat, who succeeds himself as County Treasurer. Bauman defeated Beisel by a large majority. Governor McMullen carried Douglas county by 5,721 votes, which majority has been cut to less than 3,000 by returns from out in the state. When it is known that the Second ward gave him a majority of 1,072, which the Third and other wards in Elected to Sta which there is a large colored vote substantially increased, it will be realized that this vote contributed largely to Governor McMullen's re-election. Congressman Sears raced away from his competitor, North, at the speed of more than 10,000 votes. Charles B. McDonald, republican, defeated John Hopkins, democrat, in the hotly contested race for sheriff. McDonald's vote was 27,562 and Hopkins 22,947, giving McDonald a majority of 4,605. Henry Beal, republican, candidate for re-election, defeated Harland L. Mossman, democrat, for county attorney by 6,551 votes, the vote being Beal, 28,319 and Mossman. 21,668. The amendment granting increased pay to firemen and policemen was carried by a substantial majority. FERDINAND L. BARNETT REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE TENTH DISTRICT The newspapers have contained sev-facetious jibes at "Barnett, the Negro janitor, candidate for the legislature." They have treated it largely as a joke that one of such a lowly station should aspire to political office. Ferdinand L. Barnett was born in Selma, Ala., nearly sixty years ago. There he went to school, subsequently attending night classes at Fisk university. Removing to Cleveland, he resided there for 13 years. He came to Omaha in June, 1887, where he has since resided. In October, 1889, he started The Progress, Omaha's first Negro newspaper, which he published for 17 years. His first political job was that of probate clerk with County Judge Irving F. Baxter. There's where Barnett got the hankering for a political job, a malady once contracted the patient very rarely recovers from. Subsequently he served as sidewalk inspector under Mayor Frank E. Moores, street foreman under Al Kugel, poundmaster under Mayor Dahlman and for the last six years head janitor at the city jail. Several years ago his first wife died and he remained a widower until two years ago, when he married Mrs. Watts. He is a property owner, owning the cosy little bungalow in which he and Mrs. Barnett reside at 1613½ North Twenty-second street and another attractive modern home at 1613 North Twenty-second street. Mr. Barnett is a member of St. John's A. M. E. church and a 33rd degree Mason. Mrs. Charles H. Hicks is quite ill at her residence, 2530 Maple street. te Legislature THE MONITOR A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED PRIMARY TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT OMAHA, NEBRASKA, BY THE MONITOR PUBLISHING COMPANY Entered as Second-Class Mall Matter July 2, 1915, at the Postoffice at Omaha, Nebraska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

The Lord Bishop of London who is visiting the United States is recognized as a man of broad culture and great intellectual ability. He is not only an ecclesiastical statesman, but also an astute student of government. A few days ago when asked what is the difference between the two major political parties of the United States, he confessed that it was difficult for him to perceive any real difference between the Republican and Democratic parties, despite the labored efforts of those who strove to enlighten him. He said there was a time when they radically differed upon certain issues and he could understand that difference, but that they had so closely approached each other now that he could not see the difference between them. Of course, may will be quick to conclude that as a rather obtuse Englishman, despite his reputed intellectual ability, Bishop Ingram could not discern the difference, but that does not answer his question which he propounded in all seriousness. There are many Americans, not of the intellectual acumen of the Bishop of London, and their number is increasing, and this is especially true among the younger men and women of our group, who are as obtuse as this learned and distinguished visitor when it comes to seeing any real fundamental difference between the Republican and Democratic parties as they exist today. The Monitor would like to propound to its readers the same question that the Bishop of Lndon asked: "What is the real difference between the Republican and the Democratic parties?" Will some one answer? Our columns are open for replies. These replies ought to make interesting reading. We will be pleased to hear from champions of both sides, irrespective of race, color or creed. Let's have your answer. Make it brief and to the point. BAUMAN'S RE-ELECTION Otto J. Bauman was entitled to re-election and we are glad our people so loyally supported him. He has made, as we said before, an efficient and conscientious public officer and was therefore entitled to re-election. In addition to this, so far as our people are concerned he had been fair with us by giving us representation on his office force and therefore was entitled to our support. Congratulations. Mr. Bauman, as the sole survivor of the republican deluge. CUT IT OUT. HARRY Now that Harry Pearce, register of deeds, has been re-elected for the fourth term, we indulge in the hope that he will not resort to his usual custom of dropping from his clerical force the colored clerk whom he so magnanimously employs three or four months before election. This is a bad habit, Harry, cut it out. A SIGNIFICANT FACT One of the most significant instances of the election was the voting at 2707 Lake street, where the republican vote outnumbers the democratic vote 14½ to 1. At this precinct the vote on sheriff gave Hopkins 172 and McDonald 172. It proved beyond question that colored people have learned how to "scratch" a ticket. Strangely, too, most of the "scratching" was done between 6 and 8 p. m. by colored working men and women. The colored people have learned how to vote. BARNETT THANKS SUPPORTERS I take this method to thank my many friends for their loyal support in voting for me and making it possible for my election for state representative in the Tenth district. F. L. BARNETT. KEEPING FIT This is primarily an age of physical fitness. Growing boys everywhere are bending their efforts to the development of muscular ability and a sound physique, whether their purpose is to excel in one of the many fields of athletics or to prepare for a life of vigorous manual effort. Today the growing American youth has before him as shining goals the greatt champions in the various fields of sport. Our boxing champions, our golfing champions, our swimming champions are generally considered the champions of the world. But the physical perfection necessary to become champion in any field of physical activity is not a matter of accident or chance. Back of every champion you will find a ground work of sound physical development which has been maintained by constant exercise and intelligent training Every normal boy has the desire to attain a high degree of physical fitness Many, however, are handicapped by lack of proper information on training rules and care of the body. The U. S. Public Service has prepared a publication to Ill this very need. This publication entitled, "Keeping Fit" gives authoritative information on sound physical development, illustrated with numerous charts, diagrams and pictures. Other important information on personal hygiene with special chapters on sex hygiene for the growing boy and young man are included.

A UNIQUE HALLOWEEN PARTY A very unique Hallowe'en party was given Thursday, October 28, by Mrs. Ruby Webster and Alberta Richardson at 976 North Twenty fifth street. Twenty-four guests were present. Coming into the spacious yard, the guests were confronted by a skeleton bearing directions to the entrance, which was in the basement. After wandering in darkness they were admitted by three raps into a dimly-lighted "den" infested with bats, witches, garlands and other Hallowe'en decorations, where games and fortunes were enjoyed by all. The feature of the party was a "treasure hunt." Each guest was given a candle and envelope with directions which lead them into the yard where signs lighted by jack-o'-lanterns kept them going to various places, lastly to the witches cauldron, where a cap concealed in orange and black paper was given each with instructions to return to the den. Returning to the den, four tables artistically decorated with place cards and other favors awaited all. A very delicious repast was then served. Another feature was the music for dancing which was furnished by the mellow strains of ukuleles and a guitar. "Hello Paree," promises to be a rather novel entertainment, inasmuch as while it has all the indications of a musical comedy, it also has many of the elements incorporated in what might be termed polite vaudeville. The author has written a fragile theme about a party of tourists who visit that section of the world, where the stamp of worth is only regulated by the size of the pocketbook, and the mythical citizen goes around attired in a smock and velvet hat; this he calls "Hello Paree" and injects a lot of very catchy songs, some exceedingly clever dialogue; interpolates several meritorious specialties, introduces a very good cast, and presents sixteen of as attractive singing and dancing girls as have appeared upon the local stage this season. It is here at the Gayety theatre commencing Sunday matinee. DR. WILLIAM D. FOUNTAIN TRANSFERRED TO DENVER Dr. William D. Fountain, veterinary surgeon, in the employ of the government, has been transferred from Omaha to his old home in Denver, where he reported for duty November 1st. During his residence in Omaha Dr. Fountain has made many warm friends who regretted to see him leave the city, although it was a pleasure for them to know that he will be able to be at home with his widowed mother, of whom he is the only child. Dr. Fountain was active in good works while here, being interested in the work of the Boy Scouts, the Young Men's Athletic Club, teacher of a class of boys in St. Philip's Sunday school and clerk of St. Philip's vestry.

WNU Service THE STORY CHAPTER I.—Harry Ormerod, proscribed traitor to King George as a Stuart partisan, returning from France to Juggins from a band of assassins. Juggins proves to be the grandson of a former steward of Ormerod's father, to himself indebted Ormerod tells Juggins he has abandoned the Stuart cause. CHAPTER II.—Juggins tells Ormerod of a Jacobite plot in the American colonies to weaken England by forwarding French interests. Thelma, the return of King James I, immediate the return of King James II, the French throne. At King James I, one Andrew Murray, a Scotsman, and a Frenchman, De Veille, deadly enemy Ormerod. Our lives are in London furious, and their schemes Ormerod sees them. Anticipating the plotters' early return to America, Juggins arranges for Ormerod to go there with him for Ormerod's scheme and of Juggins, and to work to foil Murray. "I beard what you said, and Master Harry's answer," she rebuked him. "Think shame on yourself, Robert, to hint that he would hesitate before peril—and you sending him into it, too," she added somewhat illogically. I thought. "Now, do both of you drain these. Twill wash the taste of the streets and taverns from your mouths." We obeyed her. "And what luck did you have?" she demanded next. "He leaves us Saturday," said Juggins simply. She cried out. "So soon! Must it be, Robert? Sure, the had should have some respite from toll and fear!" "If he is to go, he must go then," rejoined Juggins. "Twas because I felt as you did that I said what you heard, granny." "And twas because he had a sound heart in him that he answered as he did," she snapped. "If he is to go, he should go, I dare say; and the greater the peril, the greater the reward. Have you done aught toward securing Master Harry's equipment?" He went to the cupboard, from which he procured a bundle of rolled cloths. Layer after layer was unwound, and finally he drew from the wrappings a gun such as I had never seen before. It was long in the barrel, well-stocked, yet very light and handy. "You may exclaim over it, Master Harry," remarked Juggins as he surrendered it into my admiring hands; "but you can have no idea of its value until you have seen it tested in the great forests, where a man's life depends upon the swiftness and accuracy with which he can shoot. I learned that in my own youth, and so when I returned to London I had this gun made for me by the king's own gun. Smith, after plans I drew for him. There is none other like it." "And it is for me?" I asked, delighted as a child with a new toy. "What better use could it have?" he replied. "Oh, yes; and these go with it." I bought from the same cupboard a shot-pouch of beaded deerskin and a powder horn, documented with dull silver that would not catch the light. Also a bilt of hide from which there hung in sheaths a delicately balanced hatchet and a long, broad-bladed knife. "These you will discover no less useful than the gun," he explained, drawing the weapons from their coverings. "This which you call a hatchet is the tomahawk of the Indians, used for fighting at close quarters and for throwing. This other is the scalping knife, and a deadly blade it is, too. You will feel them strangle at first, but among my friends in New York there is a Dutchman named Corlaer who will instruct you in the ways of the wilderness." "You shall have letters to Governor Burnet himself, whom I met before he went overseas, and to Master Cadwalader Colden, the governor's surveyor general and a member of his council, a fine, loyal gentleman with whom I have had some correspondence. CHAPTER III The Fifth Passenger Granny Juggins drew my face down to a level with her puckered old lips. "God preserve you, Master Harry. No, I am not weeping. "Tls— No matter. Remember always that so long as my heart beats there is room in it for you—and forget not that your mother would be hungry for pride in you if she were but with us." She kissed me tenderly. "I am an old woman, Master Harry," she said, "and I may not live to see it; but the day will come when you will be no longer a fugitive from justice. So be not disheartened." "And how could I be disheartened," I demanded, as I set her down, "with two friends such as I may boast of!" There was a mist before my eyes, and I was not sorry when Juggins broke in upon our farewells. "Aye, John Waterman will be waiting us at the Temple stairs, and we have little time to spare if we are to get aboard before the other passengers This De Veille would recognize you I fear, even in this disguise." I could not forbear a grimace at the reference to my get-up, a linsey-woolsey shirt, with homepun jacket and breeches and a bobbed scratch-wig, the whole designed to give me a rustic appearance, which there can be no doubt that it did. "Never mind, Master Harry," admonished Juggins as he clapped an ugly beaver of ancient style upon my head. "In New York you will rig your self in forest-runner's garb, and forget that you ever played the bumpkin Give granny a last kiss, and—" She flew at me, light as a bird; her arms clasped momentarily about my neck; I felt her kiss on my cheek; and then she was gone from the room. I may as well say here that I never saw her again, although many a night as I lay under the stars I was to remember her qualt ways, her sweet, shrill voice and loving smile. But I had no opportunity for such thoughts as Juggins and I hurried through the streets toward the river, where a wherry was awaiting us. All the way he kept up a running fire of last-minute advice and instructions. "Guard well the letters I have given you, the one to Corlaer no less than those to Governor Burnet and Master Colden. Corlaer, though he be only a rude, unlettered woodsman, is none the less of importance in the wilderness country. He hath the confidence of the Indians of the Six Nations, a mighty tribe, or rather federacy of tribes, Master Harry. I have writ as strongly as a man may to Governor Burnet, but I would have you say to him all that you can think of to urge him to a vigorous course. 'Tis no hour for half-way measures. We must crush Murray once and for all." We came presently to Greenwich reach, and steered a passage through the river traffic to the side of the New Venture. Master Abbot, her captain met us at the rail. "The young man is not sure of him self afoat, and would seek his berth," said Master Juggins, after the preliminaries had been passed. "As he pleases," agreed Captain Abbot indifferently. "Y are the first aboard, lad, and may choose your quarters. You may bunk with the second mate or one of the other passengers. But no," he corrected himself; "I should have said with one of two of the other passengers. The lady hath a cabin to herself." "The lady!" I exclaimed. Master Juggins pursed his lips in a soundless whistle. "So you carry a lady," he commented. "Aye," replied Abbot. "Who is she?" "I know not," He turned to me. "And now, young sir, what do you say? Will it be the second mate or a passenger for companion?" "The second mate," I said. He nodded his head, called a seaman to carry my luggage below and point the way, and walked off. Master Juggins drew me back to the rail. "Tis best I should not wait," he said. "Stay below till you be safe out of Thames mouth, Master Harry. You should be safe enough now, but care is a sure precaution." "I will not forget," I promised. "And one thing more, lad. Do not stint your wants for money. Governor Burnet will aid you to draw whatever you may desire through the bankers in New York. Remember, you spend on my behalf. I would willingly use all I have to thwart Murray. When all is said and done, we are at war with France. "Tis no war of generals and armies and admirals and fleets, I grant you. But war it is." He smote the rail with his hand by way of emphasis. "What kind of war?" I asked. What kind of war? I asked. "Why, a war for the right to grow and to flourish, a war for trade. At other times, mark you, nations clash over questions of honor or territory. So their statesmen say. Actually there is a question of trade or merchant at the bottom of every war that has been fought since the world began. Today we are fighting with France for control of the trade of the Atlantic—and control of the Atlantic trade means control of the Western Plantations, America. We are fighting. Master Harry, with laws and tariffs and manufacturing skill and shipping instead of with men and deadly weapons. "The country which wins the fur trade will win control over the greatest number of savages. And the country which is so placed, especially if it be England, will win the military struggle which some day will have to be fought for dominion in America. So I would have you feel yourself a soldier, a general of trade, sent out upon a venture of great danger and importance. It may be, Master Harry, that you carry on your shoulders the future of England and of nations yet unborn." "All that I can, I will do!" I exclaimed. "Good. I cannot ask more." He clasped my hand in a wringing grip. "Good luck to you, lad, and write as occasion serves." He went over the side with his lips pursed as if to whistle and a look of doleful pleasure on his face. Him, too, as it happened, I was never to see again. In fact, I wonder whether I should not have leaped over the vessel's side at that moment had I realized how complete was to be the severance of my life from all that I had known before. By the cabin entrance under the THE MONITOR poop I found the seaman who had collected my scanty baggage. "Where do you berth?" he asked me, pausing at the foot of the ladder-stairs. "With the second mate." He opened the door on the right-hand, or starboard, side, revealing a space so tiny that I marveled how two men could force themselves into it at once. Two short, shallow bunks occupied two-thirds of its area. "Do all the passengers lodge aff here?" I asked him carelessly as he disposed of my trappings. "All save the negro; he is to sleep in the galley behind the companion-way." When he had gone I curled up in the lower bunk, which the second mate obviously had surrendered to me. At last I must have dozed, for I was awakened suddenly by the strangest of sounds—a woman's voice singing. It was a song I had never heard before, with a Scotts accent to the words and a wonderful lilting melody that was somehow very sad and all the while it was pretending to merriment. I rose from my bunk, and, stealing to the door, set it open so that I might hear the better. I was so interested in the song and the singer's voice that I forgot even to watch the door of the cabin next to mine where she was singing. And judge to my surprise when the singer's door swung open and she stepped into the passage, almost at my side. Her surprise, as was but natural was greater than mine. So we stood there a moment within a long yard of each other, gazing mutely into each other's eyes. Her face, flower-white in the dim light that came down the companionway, had a sweetness of expression that belied the proud carriage of her head and an air of hauteur such as I had seen about the great ladies of King Louis' court. Her hair was black and all blown in little wispes that curled at her forehead and neck Her eyes were dark, too. "I heard you sincing." I said. She turned and made to reenter her cabin. But I raised my hand involuntarily in a gesture of appeal. "I am surry." I went on quickly. "I did not mean to be rude. I—I could not help it." She regarded me gravely, evidently puzzled by the incongruousness of my voice and my plowboy garments. "You are never Scots, sir?" she an swered finally. "No, but I know Scotland." A light dawned in her eyes with the words. "Ah, then you will be knowing the song that I sang! 'Lochaber No More!' its called, and a bitter lament of exiles out of their own homeland." "No, I never heard it before—but I have a brother buried on a hillside far north of Lochaber, in the Clan Donald country." The sorrow that came into her face was beautiful to see. None but a person who had Gaelic blood could have sympathized so insentibly and so generously with a stranger's grief. "That will have been the great sadness upon you," she cried in the old way that the Highland Scots have of using English. "Oh, sir, your woe will have been deep! So far from his own home!" "Yes," I assented; "and he an exile too." "An exile!" She leaned toward me, her eyes like stars. "You will be one of the Good People!" I did not answer her, too confused in my wits to know what to say; and suddenly my confusion spread to her. "It is wild I am talking, sir!" she exclaimed. "Never heed my words. Sure, who would be trusting his heart's blood to the stranger that stepped in his path?" "I think I would trust mine to you." I answered boldly. She smiled faintly. "From your manner you would be no Englishman, sir, saying such pretty things without consideration." "Then your sorrow will not be so great for parting with all you have held dear. Lucky is your lot." "You have never been to America?" I asked. "I had never been out of Scotland until I came south to take ship today. Ah, sir, there is a great sorrow at my heart for the country I love." "And you go with us to New York?" I asked fatuously. Her eyes danced with a glint of humor. "Pray, sir, will there be any other shipping-place in the ocean?" I laughed. "My name," I began—and then I stopped abruptly. My name at present was William Juggins, and I had a feeling of reluctance at practicing deceit upon this girl at our first meeting. But she saved me from my quandary. "You will not be what you seem, sir," she said gravely. "That I can see, and perhaps you will not think me indiscreet if I say so much." "Tis true," I assented eagerly. "Indeed—" "But you will be meeting my—" she hesitated ever so little—"my father hesitated, no doubt, and he will make us known to one another. Now I must go on deck." And she walked by me with a faint swish of skirts that sounded like an echo of far-off fairy music. Her father! Who could he be? And then realization smote me. Plainly, she could not be De Veulle's daughter—nor Captain Abbot's. She was Murray's." Thull has the speediest delivery service on 24th St. WE. 2000—Adv. "With the second mate."
