LYNCHING BY ANGERED INDIANS Race Urged to Pray For Release By The National Equal Rights League LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year 5 Cents a Copy $2.00 a Year 5 Cents a Copy LYNCH Race Urged to Pray The National I Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 8.—An appeal to the race to adopt incessant individual prayer and group prayer as a measure of relief from proscription was issued today by the president of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. George Frazier Miltr, pastor of St. Augustine's Episcopal church here. This is the first measure of the sesqui-centennial plan of Crusade for rights adopted by the league at its 19th annual meeting and race convention in the birth city of the Declaration of Independence last month. The plan, designed to carry out the sesqui declaration of rights there framed, advises also independent voting for men and measures, union of all kinds of race bodies to use the political and economic resources to compel relief from segregation, disfranchisement, lynching, and proscription, also membership in one or more civil rights organizations. It urges formation of racial equal rights leagues especially during sesqui-centennial year. President Miller urges that November 25 be made a nation-wide day of prayer for deliverance from the wrongs and injustices which we suffer as the people, on Thanksgiving day, unite to pray for continued prosperity and blessing. THE RACE PRAYER The president of The National Equal Rights League sends greetings to the Colored People of America, and requests them, in their devotions Thanksgiving day, or other days of prayer and religious devotions, to petition our Heavenly Father with the invocation following, or with prayers to like effect: O Almighty God, who art a most strong tower to all those who put their trust in Thee, whose Holy Spirit directs and defends the souls of faithful men, do Thou protect the weak throughout this broad land of the United States of America, and show to their oppressors the light of Thy truth, to the intent they may see the error of their ways, and turn to the meeting out of justice to all mankind, in Thy faith and fear, that Thy Name may be glorified wherever it is known; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Holy Lord, we humbly pray that Thy mercy and grace may rest upon this land wherein we dwell; and that through a knowledge of the truth and a quickened sense of justice, all villainy, fraud, injustice, and oppression may be driven from the borders hereof; and the hearts of the disobedient may be turned to the wisdom of the just, to the honor of Thy Holy Name. Amen. O Taou Ever-Loving and Merciful God, who hast made of one blood all nations of men that dwell on the face of the earth, show to the doers of injustice the viciousness of their way; make them to know that wickedness, murder and rapine cannot eternally thrive, and that those who practice such atrocities toward their fellows men must finally be brought to desolation through the certain vengeance of the God of justice and right who will cast down the mighty from their seats, and evermore establish truth and righteousness in the land. Amen. BLOODHOUNDS TRACE KLANSMAN AS FIRE INCENDIARY Maxton, N. C.—A series of fires in the colored settlements roundabout here has at last aroused official interest. Blood-hounds were placed on the tracks of incendiaries who are believed responsible for fires occurring last week. The hounds went to the home of one Luke Fairley, white, and said to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan. When Fairley told officers he would have no motive for setting fire to the homes of the Negroes, he was turned loose, but one of the victims, Joseph Stewart, was not satisfied. He secured a warrant against Fairley for arson. Fairley yas rearrested and placed in the guard-house to await a hearing. A DAY'S PAY WILL HELP FILL THE CHEST. 'HEEBIE JEEBIES' TO CHANGE NAME Chicago.—Beginning with the issue of December 11, Heebie Jeebies, will be combined with The Light, published by the Advance Publishing company, and will thereafter be known as "The Light." THE MONITOR U. S. COURT ENDS DISFRANCHISEMENT AT BOLEY, OKLA. Decrees That Registrars Must Not Deny Eligible Colored Citizens Right to Register at Polls. Boley, Okla.—The residents of Boley, Okla., the largest exclusive colored city in the United States, November 2, fully exercised their constitutional rights to vote for the first time in sixteen years. The privilege follows the rendering of a decision in a fight started in 1924 against the disfranchisement of more than 500 voters. Judge F. E. Kennamer granted an injunction enjoining state and county officials from further interfering with rights of the colored voters of Okfuskee county by preventing them from registering at the polls. The court's orders affect 3,000 voters. The Boley disfranchisement fight started during the national election of 1924 as a result of the white registrars of Okfuskee county refusing to register colored voters. They refused to obey an order of the U. S. district court issued at Tulsa by Judge Kennamer, demanding that those qualifying by oath be registered. The registrars were held in contempt of court. The case was appealed to the U. S. circuit court at St. Louis and a hearing set for January 6, 1926. The judge sitting in the case refused to take transfer. The case was finally set for disposition in the federal court at St. Paul, Minn., where after delay, the decision favoring the registering of voters was reached. The Republican Club, of which D. D. Davis is the president, led the fight REPORT HAYES ENGAGED TO AUSTRIAN COUNTESS Chicago.—According to an account appearing in the Chicago Tribune, Roland Hayes, the famous tenor, has become enraged to the celebrated Austrian society woman, Countess Colloredo. The Tribune account states that the countess divorced her husband to marry Hayes. The house of Colloredo is one of the oldest families of Austria. If this report is sustained, it will expose as false rumors which have been persistent for several years that Mr. Hayes was to marry Miss Crystal Byrd, former national girls' work secretary of the Young Women's Christian association. It was at one time reported that she had resigned her position with the association to marry, but she denied this. TO SEEK AWARD FOR HENSON New York.—Congressman Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn has announced that at the December session of congress he would introduce two bills in congress of which Matthew Henson, who accompanied Commodore Peary to the North Pole and who is the only surviving member of that exposition which reached the pole, will be the beneficiary. The first bill will seek an award of a congressional medal for bravery, and the second, the retirement of Henson on a pension of $1,700 from the position of messenger in the service of the custom house in this city, to which he was appointed by President Roosevelt. PROTEST "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" FILM Memphis, Tenn.—As usual the south is up in arms against a public expression which is apt to reveal it in its true light. Condemning the story of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as a "rank injustice to the south," members of the Bedford Forrest Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy have unanimously protested the filming of the story in Memphis and along the Mississippi river. Several colored actors are to take part in this film, the principal role of which was once allotted to Charles Gilpin. The Community Chest Plan brings all races, all creeds, together in a common movement. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 12, 1926 EDITORIAL The Monitor, as our readers know, has advocated that the colored voter use the ballot intelligently. It urged our voters in the last election to scratch their ballot and has been very much gratified to know, as an analysis of the vote in the several precincts where our vote is strong, undoubtedly shows, that our advice was very generally followed. We graphically showed how voters could scratch their ballots and not lose their vote. How they could still be republicans and at the same time vote for good democrats. We believe they have learned a lesson in independent voting that will be of incalculable value to us in the future. For too long has the republican party been permitted to believe that it has a mortgage on the colored vote. That is why the race has been losing out politically, everywhere, year in and year out. The revolt this year, particularly in the west, as indicated by scratched ballots, will have a salutary effect upon the republican party which owes more to the Negro than the Negro owes to it. This will be considered political heresy in some quarters, but it is nevertheless the truth. Even conservative Massachusetts, where Senator Walsh, who as governor and senator showed himself to be a friend to the colored people because a lover of justice and right, overwhelmingly defeated Senator Butler, cairman of the National Republican Committee, shows the influence of this new spirit of independent political thinking and action. In line with what the Monitor advocated, the powerful and influential Kansas City Call gave the same advice to its readers with the result that unfriendly republicans were defeated and friendly democrats elected. The St. Louis Argus, another of our strong and influential race publications, gave similar advice. The results in all these cities show that more and more our people are relying upon the race press for advice in affairs political and are being guided by that advice. The following editorial, which appeared in the St. Louis Argus of last week, is so much in line with what we said in our issue of the same date that we commend it to the thoughtful consideration of our readers as emphasizing our position and as indicating the spirit of independent thinking and action which we hail as a most hopeful omen of the future: "A little study of the results from the recent election will show that the electorate of this city and state is pretty intelligent after all. But the most interesting feature about it is an attempt to analyze the vote in the wards which were largely populated by Negroes. It will be noted that quite a bit of scratching was done in these wards. That is as it should be. It shows that the Negro voters are beginning to think. Yes, they are learning to scratch, or mark their ballot so that it may have an offensive or defensive effect. We are learning, just as the white "good republican" in the North and South St. Louis, to use our ballot intelligently. And the more we see the light, the higher will be the respect that others will have for us. "The ballot was never intended for a slave. The idea of a voter, is to be free, not only in body, but in mind. Any people, whose vote is carried around in the other fellow's vest pocket, can never hope to rise high in the affairs of their government. "Judging from the vote in these wards in the city, like the Fifth, Sixth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, and Twenty-third, it looks to us like we are headed in the right direction, and with the proper leadership, whose souls are unfettered, and whose hands are not itching for selfish purposes, we will be in a position to help ourselves and help those coming after us." THE COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE. Monday the Community Chest drive starts. Active preparations for the campaign for charity and welfare work have been under way for several weeks. Monday the canvass for funds will start. The goal set is $430,000. This is easily within the giving power of Omaha. It means an average gift of about $2.00 from every man, woman and child in the city. In others words, if $2.00 could be collected from every resident in Omaha, including children and adults, the $430,000 would be raised almost instantly. But, of course, everybody is not going to give. Those who are able should make gifts of $10,000, $5,000 and down. Let us cut our population in two and say that only 110,000 contribute to the Community Chest. That would be an average gift of $4.00 from each contributor, just about one cent a day. Who is there so poor that he cannot give at least one cent a day to help some fellow less fortunate than himself? It is called the Community Chest. Why? Because the entire community is requested to put its pennies and dimes and dollars into this chest or fund to help carry on the charitable, character-building and welfare work in which the whole community must from the very necessity of the case be interested and do. Twenty-six of these agencies which look after the poor and the sick and the needy, or help build up character, ask for so much money. These budgets, or requests, are carefully gone over, and lumped in one sum, which this year amounts to $430,000, and you and I are asked to give as much as we feel that we are able to help do this needed work. Our people have always given generously and we feel sure that we will not be sackers this year. While a comparatively small sum of the total, only about $7,000, goes directly to racial societies or welfare work, our people are recipients of help through other agencies such as the Associated Charities, Visiting Nurses and like organizations; but even if this were not so, it would be our duty to help those less fortunate than ourselves. As citizens of Omaha who have never yet shirked a duty The Monitor calls upon our people to contribute as generously as they can to the Community Chest and we are sure they will. Be sure to give something. Let each give according to his ability. Let the children cut one week's going to the movie and give the price to the Community Chest. Vol. XII.—No. 20 INDIANS IMITATE SOUTHERN METHODS OF MOB VIOLENCE Crow Indian Reservation the Scene of Gruesome Lynching and Burning of Victim's FLAMING ARROWS FIRE BARN Bolden, Cobbler, Ordered to Leave Town by Special Officer Declines to Go. Crow Agency, Mont. — America's oldest residents, turned lynchers when a mob of 300 Indian braves made the Crow Indian reservation here the scene of a gruesome lynching bee and burned to death Jim Bolden, a cobbler. As the groans of the dying victim of America's newest lynchers filled the night air, the red men joined hands to stage a spectacle that was reminiscent of the days of the savage frontier Indian warfare. With pathetic eagerness, the descendants of the barbarians worked to show Uncle Sam that the crude Indian could really take on the ways of America's boasted civilization and stage lynchings as effectively as the most cultured Georgian. Tearing a whole leaf from the approved Georgia procedure on lynching, the red men soaked the body of their victim in gasoline and tossed it into a livery stable that had been set on fire. But they added to the cut-and-dried lynching methods used by the white mobs of the South all the spectacular sensationalism that was once used by their own red ancestors in the West. Shoot Flaming Arrows Flaming arrows shot from the bows of Indian braves lighted the barn that was to be Bolden's funeral pyre. The winds that fanned the greedy flames blew directly over the historical battlefield of Big Horn, where Custer staged his famous "last fight". As the walls of the stable caught and the red tongues of fire licked at the night air, fleet Indian runners kept watch on the funeral pyre and saw to it that no avenue of escape was left open. The braves did their work well. The lynching was Friday. On Saturday when searchers combed the ashes on the site of the razed barn, they found the charred remains of 45-year-old Jim Bolden. The cobbler had gone to his death, the victim of an Indian lynching, staged by red men who had been forced to go all the way back to the savagery of their most savage ancestors in order to keep abreast of the culture of the Great White Father in this year of our Lord 1926. It is almost certain that the government at Washington will take no action on this most recent lynching. Jim Bolden came to Crow Agency from Butte, Mont., to earn himself a living. In Butte they called him an honest cobbler. He set up at his trade in Crow Agency. He asked only the right to mend shoes here and help both whites and Indians save their soles. Ordered to Leave Jim Bolden didn't have money to buy himself a shop, so he took his awl to an old livery stable. Here the cobbler worked on his shoes, and worked well, people said, till Special Officer John McLoud (white) came up last Wednesday and ordered him out of town. McLoud said something about Bolden's stealing something or other. Bolden continued to work at his trade. He was spotted on the street Friday by McLoud, who was accompanied by Sheriff Robert Gilmore (white) and three other officers. Gun play broke out. Gilmore dropped dead, while Deputy Sheriff Andrew Dunbergan (white) was wounded. McLoud, uninjured, chased Bolden back to his livery stable, then called the Indians around to help him. Bullets from 300 guns failed to force Bolden from his insecure shelter, and it was decided to fire the barn. Officer McLoud tried to rush it. He was killed by a well-directed GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 590 DIANS ST. LOUIS ELECTS SIX COLORED MEN Two Chosen for State Legislature, One Justice of the Peace and Three Constables Winners. St. Louis, Mo.—Six Negro Americans were elected to office here Tuesday, November 2. Walthall M. Moore was re-elected for the third time as state representative and Attorney J. Davis was also elected to that branch, making two representatives in the lower house. Judge Crittenden I. Clark was re-elected justice of the peace in the Fourth district. Langston Harrison and Ira Dorsey were re-elected constables of the Fourth and Fifth districts, respectively, and William A. Morant was also elected from the Fourth, this being his first term. All were elected on the republican ticket. FOUR KILLED IN AUTO SMASHUP Franklinton, N. C.—Two Negroes and two white persons were killed and two whites were injured here Thursday evening when H. F. Probst, white, driving a touring car, drove into a Cadillac sedan driven by Benjamin Green. The dead are Probst and Lena Wright, a young white woman, Irving Hayes, a companion of Green, and Green, it appears, had sought unsuccessfully to avoid hitting the Wright woman, and in trying to 'turn out of her way, was run into by the car driven by Probst. The accident occurred on the highway, just outside the city. The 'two injured persons are both white, a daughter of Probst, and a young man companion. Neither is expected to recover. A DAY'S PAY WILL HELP FILL THE CHEST. PRINCIPAL MOTION TO MAKE WORLD TOUR New York.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute and president of 'the National Negro Business league, sailed from this port Thursday, November 11th, on a tour of the world. Touching at Cherbourg, he is to visit London, Paris, Switzerland, Scotland, and then go to Africa, stopping at Monrovia to pay his respects to his good friend President King of Liberia. Singapore, India, is scheduled as the next destination after which the party will tour parts of Asia, Japan and the Philippines. Dr. and Mrs. Moton plan to make the trip leisurely, tarrying wherever their interest leads and expect to be gone for a year. WOMEN SEEKS BIG SITE OF LAND Pine Bluff, Ark.—Suit has been entered here against Mrs. Nellie Hicks Hunter, white, sister of the late Jeff Hicks, well-known river man and utilities magnate, by Mrs Sadie Battles for possession of 350 acres of land which she says Mr. Hicks deeded to her and Mrs. Hunter has sought to retain. Mrs. Battles is also asking for $2,000 damages which she claims Mrs. Hunter has collected in rentals from tenants on the land. bullet. The Indians called a council of war. They reverted to the old battle plans of their ancestors. From the shelter of wagons flaming arrows were fired into the stable. Indian braves crept under the protecting shadows of evening to the barn itself and emptied cans of gasoline on the structure. They formed a ring outside. Silently they waited. Soon Bolden staggered out, suffocating from the heat. A fusilade of bullets met him. As he cowered, Indian braves rushed up, pinned his arms to his side and brought him away from the blazing building. Another council of war followed and the red men decided to carry through the lynching in real American fashion. Strong Indian arms grasped the struggling shoemaker. He was borne back to the stable, which was now a seething mass of flames, and was hurled shrieking into the hell pot. As his dying groans sounded through the night air, the glare of the flames that cremated him lighted the stolid faces of Indian braves standing in a circle. They were Indian lynchers, guarding their lynching pyre. ```markdown ``` 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 Mail Matter July 2, 1915, at the Postoffice at Omaha, Nebraska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

It is a proper question and merits a straightforward answer. The answer is this—because it is a welfare organization. It seeks to make charity unnecessary by finding employment for people by which they can support themselves. Isn't this very important and sensible welfare work? Let us take one illustration, and it can be duplicated several times: About a year and a half ago a young colored man came to Omaha with his, wife and three small children, one of the children being quite delicate. He had very little money, and finding it difficult to secure work, it was soon exhausted. He was told of the Free Colored Employment Bureau at the Colored Commercial Club and made application there for work. Within a day or two he was placed in a well-paying permanent job which he still holds and has been able to take care of his family. If he hadn't got work what would have happened? He would have had to have gone to the Associated Charities, the County or some other agency for charity. Which was the better thing to do—find him a job or let him and his family become dependent upon charity? This is the kind of work, genuine, character-building welfare work the Free Colored Employment Bureau has been doing? is. Is $2,300 a year too much Every thoughtful person will agree with The Monitor that it is. Is $2,800 a year too much to be appropriated for such good work, which includes salary, office rent, telephone, postage, etc.? Of course not. AN APPRECIATED BOQUET The Monitor is gratified to receive a complimentary communication from our good friend, Attorney W. F. Francis of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Francis of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Francis is not only recognized as one of the outstanding lawyers of the Northwest, but stands high in the councils of the National Republican Campaign Committee, being a district committeeman. We thank Mr. Francis for his complimentary words concerning the work of The Monitor. His congratulations to Nebraska's successful candidates to the legislature, through the Monitor, will be highly appreciated by them.

Singleton and Ferdinand L. Barnett on their election to the Nebraska legislature. I commend the citizens of Omaha for the support given these gentlemen, and I call attention to the fact that the success was due largely to the efforts of The Monitor fearlessly rendered throughout the entire campaign.

MARY PRESIDES AT There probably isn't a boy or girl in the world who wouldn't give almost anything to see Mary Pickford presiding at the head of the table on their birthday. That was the good fortune of Baby Muriel MaCormac and Billy Butts, child picture stars who appear with Miss Pickford in "Sparrows" her latest United Artists Corporation release coming to Lake theatre Sunday. Muriel and Billy have the same birthday. Muriel was seven and Billy six one day while "Sparrows" was in production. They had to work hard part of the day and go to school the rest, so there was no time for a party during working hours. At lunch time, however, a table was spread on the lawn at the Pickford studio. Two huge cakes were there—and Miss Pickford cut them both. Presents were piled high everywhere, and good things to eat were there in plenty. Miss Pickford gave Muriel and Billy gold pencils, with their names engraved on them, and a silver pencil to all the other children in the picture. It was a gala birthday party, one Muriel and Billy will never forget. GIVE TO. THE COMMUNITY CHEST LINCOLN NEWS NOTES The Sunday Theatre ordinance was voted out in recent election, which was a noble act, by the well-thinking citizens of Lincoln.

Norfolk, Va.—Following recent outrages against colored citizens here committed by bands of masked whites and the connection of members of the police force with the outrages, City Manager Truxtun has dismissed four policemen from the force here, accusing them of accepting graft. The dismissals grew out of an internal disturbance which brewed for a long time after the statement: of O. B. Pelot, former state organizer of the Ku Klux Klan in Virginia, Maryland. West Virginia and Pennsylvania, that 85 per cent of the force were klansmen. The Community Chest gives the Community a soul and God knows she needs it. RESIGNS AFTER 41 YEARS IN MINNESOTA FIRE DEPT. St. Paul, Minn.—From the days of the horse-drawn fire apparatuses to the day of the modern motor drawn fire truck, might be given as the record of Captain William Godette, 65, who resigned from the St. Paul fire department after 41 years of service. Captain Godette, who was in charge of Engine Company No. 9, for the last 14 years, held the highest rank of any colored fireman in the city. He began with old Company 22, located at Front and Matilda streets. COUNTEE CULLEN ON STAFF OF OPPORTUNITY Countee Cullen, poet and author of color, whose verse has charmed thousands and captured new friends for the race, has been added to the editorial staff of Opportunity, journal of Negro life, published by the National Urban league. Mr. Cullen's position will be that of assistant to the editor, in that magazine's growing work and programs. He will select its poetry and counsel with the hundreds of young writers whose eager demands have long exceeded the magazine's means of attending them adequately. He will contribute occasional articles and conduct a monthly column of substantial discussion on books and personalities, social and literary trends significantly related to the Negro and race relations in general. Aside from Mr. Cullen's extraordinary gifts which have carried him to the first ranks of American poets, he brings an unusual equipment; for the deliberate programs of Opportunity. He is a graduate of New York university, a Phi Beta Kappa a master of arts from Harvard university, brilliant and successful competitor in several Negro poetry contests; editor of the special issue of Palms; one who, although young, has contributed to practically all of the major literary magazines in this country, and is, perhaps, the best known of the younger Negro poets in European literary circles. He is a fortunate addition to the staff of a journal which already includes Eric Walrond, author of "Tropic Death," the recently published volume of starkly realistic Caribbean stories, and Gwendolyn Bennett, whose "Ebony Flute" has drawn warm praise for its constant delights.

Juggins proves to be the grandson of a former steward of Ormerod's father, to whom Juggins feels himself indebted. He is also the man he has abandoned the Stuart cause. CHAPTER III—Disgussed as Juggins' servant. Ormerod takes passage to America. He meets a Scottish girl of Murray, and ardent Jacobite. De Veulue recognizes him, and their enmity flames. The Frenchman denounces Ormerod to the girl as a tomahawk, to the repulses Ormerod's proffer of friendship. He is thrown into the sea by an unseen assailant. Murray's 'daughter! I rebelled against the idea. It could not be. It ought not to be. What right had he to a daughter—and such a maid as this? 'Twas absurd! Manifestly absurd! Why. I must hate the man. I had no other recourse. And he had a daughter! And above all, this daughter! When I came on deck the next morning we were driving down-channel before a smart northwest wind. Murray stood by the weather rail with the negro, who I learned afterward was called Tom, at his elbow. As I emerged from the companionway Tom leaned forward and whispered something to his master. Murray walked straight across the deck to my side, his eyes fastened upon my face. "How, now, Master Juggins," he said heartily, his hand outstretched "and did you leave your good uncle—or is it cousin?—well?" I perceived that he took me for the tout I was dressed to represent, and strove to play up to the disguise. "Well enough, sir." I answered sul WELL ENOUGH. SIR. I ANSWERED SULLENLY. lenly, shifting clownishly from foot to foot. "Tis good!" he exclaimed. "Falth I am vastly relieved. I have a warm regard for honest Robert Juggins. He has spoken of me, perhaps?" The question, designed to catch my simple mentality unawares, gave me considerable amusement. "Oh, aye," I muttered. "We have been rivals in our ventures, as you doubtless know," continued Murray. "But he doesn't take it seriously, sir," I assured him gravely. "Eh? What's that?" "He laughs about it, sir." And I giggled at him stupidly. After a moment's inspection of my countenance he seemed constrained to accept the remark as witness innocence, for a grim light of humor appeared in his eyes. "Laughs, does he? Zooks, I might have known it. He is a merry soul, Robert Juggins, and I should like to see him footing a morris to a right merry tune. Mayhap we shall see it some day. Who knows?" "Who knows, sir?" I repeated vacantly. "And you are to cast your fortunes in America, lad? You may count upon my good offices in New York. Faith, I shall be glad to do a favor if I can, for Robert Juggins' nephew—or did you say cousin?" I turned to see De Veille approaching us. "Tis a French gentleman," pursues Murray, bent upon winning my confidence with his easy manners and gilt tongue, "on his way to Canada. He chevallier, meet a young countryman of mine. Master Juggins—the Chevallier de Veulle." All unsuspecting, De Veulle made me a slight bow, a look of indifference disdain on his face at sight of my plebeian figure. The disgulse was good and I hoped I might cozen him for a time at least. But no man forgets another who has toyed with his life and his indifference was dissipated the instant his eye met mine. "Juggins?" he exclaimed in bewl derment. "Parbleen." "Tis Harry Or merod, the Jacobite refugee!" Murray snapped his fingers to Tom the negro, who had been a silent wits to our conversation. In an instant he stood beside us. "Is this the man who came with Master Juggins to the hearing before the lords of trade?" snapped Murray "He de man, massa." "You are sure?" "Yes, massa." "Tom doesn't make mistakes," remarked Murray with a gesture of dismissal to the negro. "May I ask who you are, she?" he addressed me. "I suppose you may," I replied coolly; and with a sense of relief I ripped the hobbed scratch-wig off my head and tossed it into the sea. "Does that help you at all?" I inquired of De Veulle. He stared back at me, his face all drawn with hatred. "I knew you with it on," he said savagely. "It became you. Why should a deserter wear the clothes of a gentleman?" I laughed at him, but Murray intervened quickly. "What do you mean?" he demanded. De Veille made a gesture in my direction. "This person, who was in the immediate entourage of the Pretender, abandoned his leader not long ago and fled to England to seek a pardon, repudiated and detested by all honorable men in Paris. But in England his protestations of loyalty were refused, for they naturally doubted the sincerity of one who weared so soon of an unfortunate cause." "Is this true?" Murray asked me. "Within reason." I said. Murray stared from one to the other of us. "Stap me, but I rejoice to see that we may look forward to an entertaining voyage!" he exclaimed. "I had feared 'twould be most tedious. Are you seeking satisfaction from the gentleman, chevallier?" "I shall fight him when I choose, on ground of my own choosing," replied De Veille curly. "And by no means with small swords," I jeered. He gave me a black look. "You will pray me to kill you if you ever fall into my power, Ormerod. I can wait until then." "As you please." He turned and left us. Murray took snuff very deliberately, first offering the box to me—which he had not done before—and scrutinized me politely from head to foot. "I fear I have been patronizing in my conduct, sr." he observed. "Pray accept my apologies. "Twas a perfect disguise. And your manner, if I may say so, was well conceived." "I thank you." "In short, I find you an opponent of totally different importance. You are an opponent?" he shot at me. "Sure, slr, that is for you to say," I made answer. "So far as I know at this time we merely happen to be passengers together on this craft." He laughed. "I might have known it!" he exclaimed. "Twas not like Juggins to send a bumpkin to Burnet. He hath been an enemy I might not scorn at any moment. But I must go below now. I have some papers to attend to. And I shall also attempt to induce the Chevalier de Veuille to preserve the amenities of life whilst we are restricted to such confined quarters." "He shall not have to labor against my hostility." I promised as he departed. Despite myself, I was taken with the man. His unmistakable breeding, his ready wit, the assurance of power and self-sufficiency which radiated from him and explained, as I thought, his readiness to admit himself in the wrong, all these joined to inspire respect for his parts, if not admiration for his character. During the rest of that day I made myself at home about the ship, talking with the seamen and their officers and watching valyli for the lady of the green cloak who had awakened me with her song. But she kept her cabin until the second afternoon, when we were sailing easily with a fair wind abeam. I found her then as I returned from a walk forward, standing with her hand on the poop-ralling to steady her. "I have met your father," I said, coming to her side, "and I make no doubt he would present me were he here, so—" "Sir," she said stiffly, "I have no desire for your company." I stared at her, mouth agape. "If I have offended—" I began. "I may as well tell you," she interrupted me again. "I have heard that about you which will make me have no inclination for your company." "And I shall ask you to tell me what that is," I retorted with mounting indignation. "It is not fair that you should accept the slurs of an enemy behind my back." She hesitated. "That may be so," she admitted, "but you will be willing to answer me two questions?" "Surely." "You are Captain Ormerod, formerly chamberlain to King James III?" "Yes." "And you not long ago abandoned THE MONITOR the king's service and frutlessly sought a pardon in London?" "Yes." "That is enough for me. You are a traitor, a deserter, proven out of your own mouth." "But—" "No, sir; there is naught you can say would interest me. I should despise you none the less had you deserted in the same circumstances to my own side. It makes it no less culpable that you deserted from my side because our fortunes were at low ebb." "But you shall hear me," I protested. "This is absurd, what you say. You have taken two bare statements of fact and twisted into them the implications skillfully made by a personal enemy. You—" "Last night, sir," she said cuttily, withdrawing the folds of her cloak so that they might not touch me, "you played upon my sympathies with your tale of exile and a brother buried In the Clan Donald country, and I was all for sympathy with you and sorrow for your sorrow. You as much as told me you were one of the Good People. You let me deceive myself, after you had deceived me first. Oh, you will have acted unspeakably!" "What I told you was true! I was out in the '19; I fled to Scotland with my brother; he died and was buried there; I escaped with the remnants of the expedition; I am an exile at this moment." "An exile! Phaugh! Think on the honest men can truly say that in their misfortune this day! And you—I could weep for the shame that your dead brother and the mother that bore you will be feeling as they look down upon you!" With that she was gone, and I was left cursing De Veuille, whose treacherous tongue had planted the distorted shreds of truth in her mind; cursing Murray, who must have stood by and listened to it all, smugly amused; cursing my cousin who had put me in such a plight, after winning my inheritance; cursing the men and women at St. Germain who repaid years of sacrifice and ungrudging loyalty with such canards; cursing Jugdins for having embarked me upon the ship with the girl; cursing myself for getting into such a false position; cursing the girl— But no. Common sense came to my rescue then. There was something unaccountably fine about her attitude, something I should never have thought to uncover in Murray's daughter, however beautiful and attractive she might be. There was devotion for you, faithfulness to a lost cause, the single-minded truthfulness which only a good woman can possess. The twilight faded rapidly, and I found myself with no appetite for the crowded main cabin, where De Veuille and Murray played plquet, or my stuffy berth. I strolled the deck, immersed in thought. I conned over what Juggins had told me, memorized anew many of the messages he had intrusted to me, speculated upon the possible turn of affairs. I planned in some vague way to win a fortune in that unknown new world ahead of me, and with the proceeds in one hand and a pardon in the other, return and reclaim Foxcroft from those abominable Hampshire cousins. With chin cupped in hand I leaned upon the starboard rail in the black well of shadow which was formed by the overhang of the forecastle, and the towering piles of canvas that clothed the foreast. Somewhere beyond the wastes of watery darkness that velled my eyes lay England, the home which had disowned me. I— Without any warning a huge arm was twisted around my shoulders and a hand so huge that my teeth could make no impression in it was clamped down over my mouth. Another arm encircled my waist. My arms were pinned to my sides. My legs kicked feebly at a muscular body which pressed me against the bulwark. Fighting back with all my strength, I was nevertheless lifted gradually from the deck and slowed slowly across the flat level of the fife-rail. Do what I might, I could not resist the pressure of those tremendous arms, which seemed to have a reach and a power twice those of my own. I gasped for breath as they squeezed my lungs—and in gasping I sensed a queer taint in the air, a musky odor which I did not at once associate with the seamen or anyone else on board the ship. It was no use. I could not resist. The snakelike arms mastered me. One shifted swiftly to a grip on my legs. I was whirled into the air and dropped clear of the railing—falling, falling, until the cold waters enveloped me. (Continued Next Week.) NEATLY furnished house for rent. Strictly modern.
