OMAHA MAN CANDIDATE FOR BISHOP LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—Events a Copy OMAH REV. JOHN ADAMS ATTENDS BISHOPS' COUNCIL Nebraska Minister May Be Chosen To Episcopal Bench by Next General Conference The "House of Bishops" and the "Connectional Council" of the African M. E. Church, met simultaneously at Jacksonville, Fla., February 17, through the 20th, last. One of the duties of the Bishops' College, is to render, en banc, opinions on such connectional matters as may be met by the next general conference. The Connectional Council, while not a legislative body, might be regarded as a "primary conclave," wherein preferred candidates are recommended for the bishopric. The Rev. John Rev. John Adama Adams, presiding elder of the Omaha district of the Nebraska conference, was endorsed by the eastern and southern wings of the Church and as a result of which, was favorably considered by the council as a logical candidate for the episcopal office in his denomination. Rev. Mr. Adams returned from Florida after a three week's trip last Tuesday morning. It is claimed that Mr. Adams is one of the strongest men of his connection and may be the first bishop elected from Nebraska or this section of the far west. HALF MILLION CELEBRATE RICHARD ALLEN'S BIRTH- DAY Philadelphia, Pa. — On Monday, February 14th, the 168th birthday of Richard Allen, founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was celebrated at Mother Bethel A. M. E. Church, by a great mass meeting in which all of the churches, Sunday Schools, and Christian Endeavor Societies of Philadelphia and vicinity took part. An inspirational program accompanied by a pilgrimage to the tomb of Richard Allen, and concluded with a banquet and reception, was given in the old mother church. During the week, February 13-20th, the churches all over the A. M. E. Connection celebrated the natal day of their founder, and it is estimated that more than 100,000 persons took part in the 7,500 churches of the A. M. E. denomination and over a million persons attended these meetings. Bethel African Methodist Church was founded by Richard Allen in 1787. The African Methodist Connection was founded by him in 1816, and he was the first bishop. From that time the church has grown to more than 750,000 members, 7,500 churches, with missions in Africa, South America, West Indies, and other parts of the world. There are 15 bishops and 12 general officers. Twenty schools are operated by the church, together with a missionary department in New York, a Sunday School Department in Nashville, Tenn., a publishing department in in Philadelphia, and Church Extension and Financial departments in Washington. This church publishes three weekly papers, one quarterly magazine, and two motnhly papers. The church property is estimated at over $25,000,000, and the yearly income of the church is more than $4,000,000.

D. Cannady, editor of The Advocate and popular member of the eighth grade graduating class of Fernwood school, was denied admission to the Imperial Rink, where the class was having a skating party, they left in a body, declining to countenance such discrimination. C. A. Rice, superintendent of the schools, expressed approval of the action of the class in abandoning the party. "The teacher and principal did not know the rink had a ruling against colored people, or the party never would have gone there," said Superintendent Rice. "If the party was held in the school gymnasium or auditorium, the boy certainly would be included, and the class did right to leave." George Cannady was one of the most popular members of the class, being captain of the basketball team and class treasurer, a member of the committee for selecting the class pin and also of the committee which arranged for the class entertainment. For five successive years he won first prize in the Rose Festivals for riding the most beautifully decorated bicycle. The manager of the rink expressed regret over the incident but said that the rink could not overlook its rule against admitting colored people. WASHINGTONIANS PREPARING TO HEAR CLARENCE DARROW Washington, D. C.—Arrangements were made here last week by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to call a gigantic mass meeting early in March under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical association, to hear the famous criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, who figured so conspicuously in the Sweet case in Detroit. 260,000 UNWEDDED FRENCHMEN ARE TAXED Paris, France — Heavier taxation menaces French benedicts. Latest statistics show that in 1920 some 90,129 bachelors paid the tax on celibates. Many thought men would marry in order to escape paying, but in 1921 the number of bachelors paying the tax rose to 208,449. In 1924 they numbered 238,544 and in 1926, 260,000. BISHOP'S COUNCIL MEETS IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Jacksonville, Fla.—The mid-winter council of the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church opened here Thursday, February 18, for a four days' session.

There was a time when the observance of this season was confined to what has been called the great historic or Catholic communions, such as the Greek Orthodox, the Roman Catholic and the Anglican (Episcopalian) communions. The Lutherans were, we believe, the sole exception among the Protestant bodies to observe it. However, the lapse of years has brought radical changes. Christians of every name have begun to recognize its value and to appreciate the psychological and spiritual importance of such a season as Lent, and the helpfulness that must come from a period of more intense cultivation of the spiritual life. There is an advantage in religious people, who so largely agree in the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith, concentrating their efforts in evangelism and spiritual development at the same time or season. We have often thought how helpful it would be if at that season, the Lenten, when such a vast multitude as the Catholic communions embrace, are honestly attempting to have their people give "more earnest heed to the things that belong unto their peace," the great Protestant communions were doing the same thing. It looks as though that day were dawning. Little as we may think of it, such a common observance is making for that unity which will heal the wounds of Christendom. The underlying principle of Lent is sound and practical and that is why it is growing in favor. The season, rightly observed, will be helpful to those who keep it. It should not be merely conventional. It should be regarded as a time and opportunity for self-disciplining and spiritual growth in those things which strengthen character and make the kind of men and women which all normal human beings really want to be. Chinese and Others May Ride in Cars Where Negro Upbuilders of Country Cannot—Chinese Woman Amused Washington, D. C.—That the Jim Crow car laws of the democratic South are intended exclusively for the humiliation and discomfort of Negro passengers, NOT COLORED TRAVELERS, is illustrated by the experience of a Chinese lady, as reported in a recent issue of the "Christian Advocate." "Your Christian country," said she, "is very funny. Last week I was in Mississippi and everyone was all upset about me. 'Here,' said one conductor, 'you can't put her in the Jim Crow car; she is not black.' 'Well, she is not white,' said the Pullman porter. 'I don't care, I said, put me somewhere; I am getting very tired. Such a hubbub! Such a commotion!' I sat on my bag and waited. By and by they put me in the white car." She laughed, "Too bad you have no yellow cars. Then your race problem would all be solved, yes?" It appears from the above interesting but rather pathetic incident that all colored people—except native Negroes who are contributing to the wealth of the nation, who with unalloyed patriotism fight her battles at home and abroad, who cherish American ideals and institutions—can enjoy every comfort, use every facility and embrace every opportunity that this great country affords. All but the Negro. HON. J. G. CARTER NAMED FOR LIBERIAN POST Washington, D. C.—Hon. James G. Carter, of Georgia, now United States Consul at Tanararive, Madagascar, was named by President Coolidge last Saturday morning as Minister and resident Consul General to Liberia. The position was formerly held by Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, who resigned on account of ill health. It is believed that the Senate will confirm Mr. Carter's appointment without opposition. William Francis of St. Paul, Minn., was his most formidable rival. GETS STREET FOREMAN JOB New York, N. Y.—Herbert Simmons is the first colored American to fill a foreman's office in the New York City Street Department. He was among 500 persons, who took a competitive examination for the position. The position pays a salary of $2,160 yearly. Simmons began work in the street department sixteen years ago.

THE "NEW WHITE MAN" EARNESTLY WORKING FOR RACIAL BETTERMENT Speakers at Youth Conference Optimistic in Discussing Difficult Aspects of Problems of the Race New York, N. Y.—“Youth and the Negro Problem” was the subject of the first session Sunday of a “Douglas-Lincoln Memorial Conference”, held at International House, 500 Riverside Drive, under the joint auspices of the American section of the World Youth Alliance, the Intercollegiate Club of New York City, made up of groups of race students, and the Young People's Fellowship, composed of members of the parish of St. Philip's Episcopal Church. More than 200 young men and women, both white and colored, attended the conference and took part in a forum discussion of various aspects of the Negro problem. A. G. Dill, managing editor of The Crisis, was chairman. Among the speakers were Devere Allen, editor of The World Tomorrow and Alain Locke, formerly professor of philosophy at Howard University, Washington, D. C. Mr. Allen discussed social equality of the Negro from the white man's point of view, while Mr. Locke presented the question from the point of view of the Negro. Both speakers held that social equality was essential to the real freedom and progress of the Negro and that it would be the only means of combating existing evils in the relationship between the two races. Along with the development of the "new" Negro, both speakers declared, whose cause is championed by such men as Howard Odum of the University of North Carolina, Eugene O'Neil and Paul Green, author of "In Abraham's Bosom," there has arisen a new white man who has cast aside old prejudices and is working for the social, intellectual and economic betterment of the colored race. "There is no way of settling the Negro question short of complete justice, complete equality, complete freedom of friendship. Youth must not think of any other way," Mr. Allen said. BOY "BURNED AT STAKE" IN SERIOUS CONDITION Philadelphia, Pa.—Winston McLaughlin, aged 10 years, is in a serious condition as a result of being "burned at the stake." Three companions of the injured boy are under arrest. Police say that the boys confessed tying the McLaughlin boy to a stake, saturating his clothing with gasoline and then setting fire to his clothing while they danced about waving torches. "Snow Queen" Delights a Very Large Audience Vol. XII—No. 35 FOR B "Snow Queen" a Very L The juvenile operetta, "The Snow Queen," presented under the management of Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston, at the Technical High school auditorium, Thursday evening, February 17, was an artistic success. The costumes and scenery were very beautiful. The operetta is in three acts. ACT I This act introduced Celestine Smith as Gerda and Fred Dixon as Kay, her playmate, singing "The Rose Hymn," while Sarah Brown, as Gerda's grandmother, sat nearby. The "Snowflakes," represented by sixteen boys and girls, dressed all in white, came dancing in followed by the Snow Queen. Celestine Smith, as Gerda, whose playmate, Kay, is stolen away by the Snow Queen, was an excellent choice for the part. She showed pronounced dramatic ability. Fred Dixon was excellent as Kay. He spoke his lines clearly and distinctly. Sarah Brown as Gerda's grandmother, and Willa Hayes as Kay's mother, acted their parts very well. Mercedes Ferguson as the Snow Queen was graceful and stately and well suited to the part. Herbert McCaw as the ragman, and those who took the parts of the townsboys and townswomen were very good. Millard Singleton as captain of the robber band and Helen Jenkins, who took the part of the robber girl, were both very good, as were also Ellen Richardson, as the witch, and Lavina Scott and Alger Adams, as the Spaniards. ACT II Scene I—Introduced a group of sixteen little girls representing butterflies, a bee, a fairy, the witch, and flowers, all in beautiful costumes. Special mention should be made of little Helen Stevenson for her toe dancing and Catherine Williams, a fairy, for her singing and dancing. The flowers sang for Gerda, and especial mention should be made of Sylvia Adams, who, as Narcissus, told Gerda in song what had become of her playmate, Kay. Her song was very well rendered. Olive Jackson as the rose, told Gerda how to PARALYZED BUT CONDUCTS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND BILISHES POEMS Cincinnati Ohio—For fifteen of his forty-five years Raymond G. Dandridge, Cincinnati colored citizen, has been bedridden with paralysis, but he conducts a coal business from a telephone at his bedside and has a talent for poetry which has brought him attention outside his race. Two volumes of his poems have been published and many of his verses appear in anthologies of Negro poetry. And any poet will find kinship in his lament of "----- Editors --- who mock his song, deny him bread, then sing his praise when he is dead." The friends who come often to his bedside include as many whites as colored people. ARCTIC EXPLORER AIDED BY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Washington, D. C.—Through the action of President Coolidge, Matthew Henson, one of the few survivors of Admiral Peary's Arctic expedition, has received a promotion in the New York Custom House from a messenger at a salary of $1,700 to a clerk, at a salary of $2,000 annually. Recently a plea was made in the House by Representative Celler, democrat, of New York, for an award for the part that Henson played in the discovery of the North Pole. A bill was introduced by Celler asking that a medal be awarded to the hero who not only saved Peary's life in the famous expedition in 1909, but made the discovery of the North Pole possible. GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 605 ISHOP Delights Large Audience find her lost Kay, Lucile Patterson as Snowdrop also told Gerda in song what had happened to Kay. Other flowers to sing were Gertrude McCaw and Vera Chandler as forgetme-nots, Edrose Willis as violet and Helen Singleton as tiger lily. The flowers' farewell was sung by butterlies and flowers. James Crumbly as soloist for the robber band was very good. The torch dance by eight boys was unique, artistic and much appreciated. Marjorie Bolden as the acrobat surprised and delighted all with her exhibition of agility and skill. She is only twelve years old but is most wonderful in her work. The four girls, Margaret Bell, Margaret Dickerson, Eula Henderson and Cleo Sayles in the angel's serenade, sang sweetly. The overture, "Poet and Peasant," by Miss Elaine Smith, an advanced pupil of Mrs. Pinkston, was beautifully rendered. Miss Willa Hayes, another pupil of Mrs. Pinkston, was accompanist. Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. Pinkston for the music, and her assistant, Miss Pauline Capps, for the dancing and to Messrs. Misner and Peck of the Misner School of Expression, for the dramatics. The costumes, which were most artistic and beautiful, were designed and made by Mr. John A. Smith. ACT III The third act showed the Snow Queen on her throne surrounded by the Snowflakes, when a huge snowball was rolled in by two pages of the queen, Woodrow Macklin and David Ferguson. When they opened it, Catherine Williams as Alva, the Snow Queen's favorite Snowflake, dressed all in white, stepped forth and gave a very graceful toe dance number. In this act Gerda finds her lost playmate and the operetta ends with a finale chorus by the whole cast. There was a large and appreciative audience, numbering about 1,200, which will long remember this delightful and artistic operetta. Sixty children were in the cast, ranging in ages from 2 to 16. HC VARD GRADUATE WINS HARVARD FELLOWSHIP Washington, D. C.—Notification was received at the university last week that the authorities of Harvard university, Cambridge, Mass., had awarded Charles Clifton Andrews, graduate of Howard university college of liberal arts, 1926, a Fellowship in Zoology. This announcement is rather unusual, as the usual requirements to receive a Fellowship in Zoology at Harvard make it necessary to spend one year in residence at Harvard before the award is made. Since his graduation, Mr. Andrews has been doing research work in Chicago and at Howard, under the supervision of Dr. E. E. Just, professor in zoology. DROP SHELL INTO STOVE; TWO INJURED IN EXPLOSION Houston, Texas—Their curiosity in dropping a shotgun shell into a stove "to see what it would do" ended disastrously for a race youth and his brother here recently. Van Wright, 22 years old, of 1905 Stevens street, will lose his left hand and his six-year-old brother, E. W. Wright, will lose four fingers from his right hand. They were taken to St. Joseph's Infirmary. SEGREGATION CASE GOES TO SUPREME COURT Washington, D.

Among white Americans such names as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Henry W. Longfellow, to mention only a few, come to mind. But, as if to show that there is no Nordic monopoly of brains, greatness or eminence, these names can be matched by those of Frederick Douglass, Absa- lom Jones and Richard Allen. All of these in their day and generation wrought noble deeds not only for their par- ticular race, but for their coun- try, for God and for humanity, and belong to history. THROUGH CHINESE EYES | The experience of a Chinese woman, apparently one of cul- ture and refinement, in Missis- sippi recently, furnishes food for thought. The perplexity which her presence as a rail- way passenger in the enlight- ened Southland caused is sig- nificantly suggestive. Her sar- castic words, “Your Christian country is very funny,” speak volumes. “Too bad you have no yellow cars,” is not without point. SHOW RIGHT SPIRIT The boys and girls of the eighth grade graduating class of the Fernwood school, Port- land, who refused to stand for the exclusion of a member of their class from a skating rink because of his color, showed the right spirit. The hearty approv- al of their action by the Super- intendent of Education shows, too, that he is the right man on the job. Those Portland boys and girls in unselfishly forego- ing their own pleasure because of an act of injustice to one of their classmates augur well for the type of future citizenship of that community. It meant sac- rifice for those children to deny themselves the pleasure of their skating party, but the satisfac- tion that comes from doing one’s duty in any crisis and the resul- tant strength of character will be ample compensation for the sacrifice made for right. f wed bet Pg: pee"g yi ee be Do ties ; %, , iN ee mi, on) on ou aD eee ed), idege | (ski ea ee he me a a es JOHN 4 GILBERT LEAP and 7 oe GRETA GARBO og Uy he om A FLESH ano re DEVIL Q SPECIAL PHOTOPLAY ATTRACTION At the New Lake Theatre—Wednesday and Thursday, March 2-3 BELIEVE IN YOURSELF— YOU MUST WIN Carry yourself as though you were marching to victory.

ANNUAL COUNCIL ADMITS ST. PHILIP'S AS A PARISH At the Sixtieth Annual Council of the Diocese of Nebraska, held in Trinity Cathedral last week, the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, was formally admitted as a parish and congratulatory remarks upon its elevation from the status of a mission to that of a parish were made by Mr. John S. Hedelund, an outstanding layman of the Diocese. The Council expressed its appreciation of the long and faithful services of Rev. John Albert Williams, not only to his congregation but to the Diocese, of which he is the senior active priest, by a rising vote. Father Williams, who has served the Diocese as assistant secretary, secretary, editor of The Crozier, the Diocesan journal, and in other capacities, was signally honored by the Council by being elected as one of the three clerical members of the Standing Committee of the Diocese, which acts as the ecclesiastical authority during a vacancy in the diocesan episcopate and also passes upon important matters in the Diocese and General Church.

Howden Smith Author of PORTO BELLO GOLD, Etc. © by Brentano's.) 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 whom juggins feels himself indebted. Wrongly accused as Juggins he has abandoned the Stuus. CHAPTER III.—Disguised as Juggins' servant. Ormerod takes passage to America. He meets a Scottish girl daughter of Murray, and ards her. Behind her is an enemy named him and their enmity flames. The Frenchman denounces Ormerod to the girl as a traitor to the Stuart cause. Believing he is a friendship, he is drawn into the sea by an unseen assailant. CHAPTER IV.—Ormerod, regaining the deck, has recognized his assailant as Murray's servant. Tom, giant negro, is the negro to assassinate him, but a truce is arranged. At New York Ormerod saves an Indian from insult. The Indian, English is, Ta-wan-nears, Seneca chief CHAPTER V.—Governor Burnet welcomes Ormerod as a friend of Juggins and tells him Murray's aims. By what means does Murray smuggle furs, which should come New York, to the French in Canada With Ta-wan-ne-ars and a gigantic Dutchman, Peter Corlaer. Ormerod agrees to toad Nagara, outch out to and spy out the secrets of the Boom Trail. He of course speaks French. De Veille has won Ga-ha-no. Ta-wan-ne-ars' affanced wife, now the Frenchman's mistress, and the red man who has been the master of Ormerod's life in an attack on him by Murray's henchman, Bolling. CHAPTER VI.—Accusing Murray, we will tell you the folly merod learns the girl's name is Marjory. With his two companions he begins the journey. CHAPTER VII.—The three men wipe out a party of Cahnuagas trailing them, evidently sent by Murray. At the Seneca village they are welcomed by Do-ne-ho-go-weh, head chief, Ta-wan-ne-ars' uncle. Leaving Corlaer, merod or Ormerake their way to Niagara. CHAPTER VIII.—At Niagara Ormerod, in the guise of Jean Courbevoir, forest runner, learns the French De veille arrives, recognizes Ormerod and he and Ta-wan-ne-ars are seized. CHAPTER IX.—Conveyed to La Vierge du Bois, Murray's stronghold, Ormerod again meets the adventurer and Marjory. The girl unavailingly seeks to save the Englishman and his horse, by torture of the hands of the Cehnuagus, Murray's followers. Pere Hacyinthe, French missionary, refuses to help them. Preamble for fear of reprisal, Ormerod, on orders from Gahn-no-go, are respited until the next day, the Moon feast. CHAPTER X.—In the morning the torture is interrupted by Ga-ha-no's dancing. She leaves, but apparently Ormerod, on orders from Gahn-no-go, who, acting on Ga-ha-no's suggestions, succeeds in freeing the prisoners, who escape. At Fort Oswego they are welcomed by Corliser. "Now!" I heard her say very low. Ta-wan-ne-ars seemed to rise into the air, thongs flying behind him. I tugged and jumped and my own hassings parted—and I found myself running somewhat still beside the Iroquois. A second figure strew up to my side and I felt a knifehilt pushed into my hand. "In case," said the familiar voice. "And here is one for the Iroquois, too." I stared down in bewilderment at the bear mask. "Twas so unexpected, yet so obviously what I might have known she would do if the opportunity arose. That clean scorn, that brave honesty of purpose, I had marked in her, were earnest of her determination to dare all for what she believed to be right. A chorus of yelps like a wolf-pack in full cry split the night behind us. One of the False Faces sprang into our path, and Ta-wan-ne-ars closed with him. The Seneca's knife plunged into his throat, and he collapsed with a strangled scream. As the pine trees shrouded us I looked back over my shoulder. The dancing place was covered with a mob of running figures who fell over each other in their drunken frenzy. "To the left," sobbed the voice from the bear's mask. We turned between the trunks of the pines, the mat of fallen needles springy underfoot. Behind us the fires of the dancing place were a faint radiance in the dusk. Branches crashed; bodies hurtled against each other; a bedlam of shrleks resounded to the skies. "Let me help you," I panted to our rescuer. "There will be no need," she answered, running stride for stride beside us. "Do not be concerned for me. Many a mile I have run with the gillies over the Highland hills." She stumbled as she spoke, and I set my hand under her elbow. Tawan-ne-ars did the same on the other side, and so we ran for a space, three and three, our bruised and rusty joints gradually limbering with the effort. Presently we came to an opening amongst the pines, with a huge, flat rock in the center and before the rock the ashes of a fire. My foot struck something round, and a human skull, blackened and charred, bounded ahead of us. I felt a shudder pass through the slender figure in the mask. "Tis the altar of the False Faces," she murmured. "None but the Ga-go-so will dare to follow us through the wood." "Was that your thought?" I questioned. "No. I was helpless. "Twas the Mistress—she bade me call her Gaha-no—thought of everything." Ta-wan-ne-ars stopped in his stride. "What of Ga-ha-no?" he demanded sternly. She glanced fearfully backward along the way we had come. "We may not stay," she answered rapidly. "I will talk as we run. Oh, haste, haste, or all will be lost!" The Seneca resumed his steady gait, but the moonlight filtering through the branches revealed the agony in his face, an agony which the ordeal at the stake had not been able to produce. "Go-ha-no thought of all," gasped our companion, her voice strangely muffled by the mask. "She came to me this morning—whilst I was pleading with them—told me how it it might be done—fetched me here—procured me the mask and costume—taught me the dance. "Twas she secured the day—in your torture—made them send you food—bolstered your strength." "Where is she now?" asked Ta-wan-nears hardly. She looked sidewise at him—I think in pity. "With the Chevalier de Veulle, she said reluctantly. Then with quick earnestness: "Twas part of her plan. It might not—otherwise be done." He was silent, and we ran on for as much as a quarter-hour, coming then to the bank of a small stream, where a trail marked a ford. "Under those bushes," she said, pointing, "you will find your clothes and weapons. We hid them this evening." I scurried into the undergrowth and started to don the tattered garments which were fastened in a bundle to the barrel of my musket—the musket that Juggins had given to me, years and years ago, it seemed, in London, and which I had expected never to see again. But she halted me. "No, no, Mr. Ormerod!" she exclaimed. "There is not time. You must go on alone, the two of you. They will expect you to strike into the Doom Trail. 'Tis the quickest way to the settlements. Ga-ha-no bade me tell you to go west instead, making for Oswego at the mouth of the Onondagas river. So you may shake off the pursuit of the Keepers." "But you?" I cried, standing up, bumble and musket in hand. "Tis my part to lead them into the Doom Trail." Ta-wan-ne-ars joined with me in a violent protest. But she waved us aside. "There is no other way. I will have learned much since my coming here, Master Ormerod, and amongst other things, to think the less harshly of you." "For that I am thankful," I replied, "but sure, you must let us take you back to Fort Orange. Governor Burnet will care for you." "It cannot be," she insisted. "My place is here. Wicked as they be, these men here—and he who is called my father is not the cleanest of them—they work in a good cause. 'Tis for me to stay by and see they do what is expected of them for it. Now be off, sir. The False Faces will be on us any moment—and I am not wishing to be caught by them, even though they would not venture to do me harm." "A burst of ferocious yelling came from the heart of the pine wood. "They have' seen traces of us in the open space by the altar," interrupted Ta-wan-ne-ars. He swung musket and bundle to his shoulder, and faced the bear mask, a splended figure in bronze. "Sister Ne-e-ar-go-ye," he said gravely, "did Ga-ha-no give you any message for Ta-wan-ne-ars?" She hesitated. "She said that if you asked for her I was to tell you to forget Ga-ha-no, that she was unworthy of your memory. But you were to believe that what she did for you tonight was in reparation for her first great wrong." He bowed his head. "And oh, Ta-wan-ne-ars," she went on impulsively, "she pays a bitter price. Forgive her.". Ta-wan-ne-ars looked up. "Say this to Ga-ha-no," he answered. "Say Ta-wan-ne-ars thinks of her as a Lost Soul, tarrying for a while with Ata-ent-sic, and in the end he will come for her and bring her home again to his lodge. Say that Ta-wan-ne-ars never forgets." He raised his right arm in the gesture of farewell, and stepped into the current of the stream. "We part once more, Marjory," I said, offering my hand. She took it. "For certain words I have spoken to you, I am sorry," she said. "I know more now. You may be my enemy, but I believe you not to be a traitor." "Thank you. And is that all you have to say to me?" "That is all," she replied softly, withdrawing her hand. "I will not leave you," I cried, and made to walk with her along the trail. But she pushed me back. "Please go, Master Ormerod," she begged. "If I am not overtaken, this mask will protect me as far as the chapel, where my own clothes are awaiting me. They dare not enter there." I captured her hand again and carried it to my lips. "My name is Harry," I answered. "And I have never forgotten the song in the cabin of the New Venture." THE MONITOR "Thank you, Harry," she returned with a trill of etin laughter. "And I do assure you I know other songs." With that she was gone. Yet I had a feeling I had never known before that she was still with me, and I stepped into the water with joy in my heart. A score of paces down the bank I found Ta-wan-nears, and we crouched under the pendant brunches of a willow to see what would happen, muskets primed and ready. The yelling in the wood increased in volume as the False Faces followed the course we had taken by broken brunches and footprints in the pine-mold. A misshapen figure with the head of some fabled beast squattered into the trail and galloped around, nose to ground like a bound seeking a NOSE TO GROUND LIKE A HOUND lost scent. In a moment the ugly head was lifted, and a bowl of satisfaction greeted the other monstrous shapes which joined it. The whole pack gave tongue and vanished up the trail after Marjory. Ta-wan-ne-ars waited to give the stragglers time to appear, then rose and led the way along the bed of the stream westward. We walked in the water for more than a mile, when the stream turned to the north and we stepped out upon a rock and dressed. Afterward we caught the overhanging bough of a tree and swung ourselves onto dry ground above the bank, never leaving a trace of our course up to that time. From this point we traveled on through the forest, pursuing no settled path, but holding to the westward in the direction of Oswego on the shore of the Cadarakul lake. We did not stop until after midday. Ta-wan-ne-ars knocked over a wild turkey with his tomahawk, kindled a fire of dry sticks and broiled the juicy bird before the coals. He insisted that I should sleep first, promising to arouse me at the end of two hours—he reckoned time, I should explain, by the declension of the sun. But when he finally did arouse me the sun was close to setting, and I saw by the sunken look of his eyes that he had not slept during his watch. "Why did you not wake me?" I asked angrily. "Ta-wan-ne-ars had no wish for sleep," he returned. "Nonsense," I retorted. "You cannot go indefinitely without rest." "I had my thoughts for company," he said simply. "They are not happy thoughts, brother. They would not let me sleep. Your search is ended, brother," he added. "The soul you sought has been found. It is no longer sick." "Mayhap," I agreed, "but none the less 'tis out of reach and in great danger." "We shall save it," he encouraged me. "Ta-wan-ne-ars knows. We must wait. The time will come." He refused again to sleep, and we ate the remainder of the turkey—our hunger was prodigious—and pushed on, traveling most of the night. Not once did we see a trace of the Keepers, and when we halted Ta-wan-ne-ars said that we were on the marches of the hunting grounds of the Mohawks. In the late morning we killed a rabbit, broiled and ate it and tramped the virgin forest until long past sunset. The following afternoon we caught our first view of the inland sea from a height of land, and the next morning we sighted the stockade of Oswego, the fort which Governor Burnet had established on the shores of the lake in his effort to divert the far-western fur trade from the French posts.

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL PUSHES MAN FROM THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING AUTO ;1S STRUCK Dallas, Texas—The heroic act of an eight-year-old colored girl saved a blind white man from death under the wheels of an automobile here last Friday. Frances Harper, the girl, was leading the blind man across the street as an act of kindness when a speeding automobile came rushing toward them. Little Frances had to think fast. She pushed the blind man from the path of the machine, but she could not get out of the way in time herself and was struck. The injured girl was picked up and rushed to a hospital, where she was found to be suffering a broken leg and severe body injuries. The automobile driver was charged with driving while intoxicated. It was said the automobile had been stolen. INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION Atlanta, Ga.—A resolution asking that the people of South Carolina support the valiant stand of Governor John G.
