DO NOT FAIL TO VOTE ON TUESDAY LIFTING LIFT TOO Blade Historical Society $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy DO NO TOLERANCE GREAT NEED OF PRESENT DAY, SAYS SPEAKER Secretary Omaha Church Council Believes America's Prejudices Falsify Her Claim to Culture RACIAL, RELIGIOUS, ACADEMIC. "America has not recovered from the period of demogogy and 'bug-bearism' which attacked the institutions of this country after the war when to call a person a pro-German or a "red" was to label him as a creature, hateful in the eyes of his fellow men," said Rev. James A. Crain, secretary of the Omaha Council of Churches in an address at the Lions club luncheon Tuesday of last week. Complete absence of every form of intolerance is an earmark of every real civilization, he asserted, and that this country has not yet achieved that stage is an indication that our culture is not yet on the high plane that we sometimes place it. "The history of all civilizations has been the struggle of a newly developing culture to attain the place of the one which already existed and intolerance was always the weapon of that civilization which was not superior to the new one," said Rev. Mr. Crain. The greatest problem which this country has to face on the score of tolerance, believes Rev. Mr. Crain, is that of racial intolerance as demonstrated by segregation, "Jim-crowism" and lynching practised against the Negro, religious intolerance against unfamiliar creeds and religions and worst of all in Rev. Mr. Crain's opinion, academic intolerance. "We find today a situation in which the average instructor in a state university dares not open his mouth on any economic question which involves imperialism, militarism, or even a scientific discussion of the economic structure of society. A country like ours must pause for a moment when it becomes possible for teachers to be dismissed from their posts for daring to criticize the policy of our government in Nicaragua as was the case of 12 state normal school teachers in Westchester county, Pennsylvania, recently." RECORD BREAKING CROWD SEES OMAHA BUFFALOES WIN SEASON'S OPENER Approximately six thousand paid admission Wednesday afternoon to see the Buffalooes trim the Oklahoma City Indians to the tune of 3 to 2. Nearly one thousand school children were also guests of Mr. Burch, as members of the "Knot Hole Gang." The game was great. One of the best games played on the Omaha diamond for many moons. It was fast, and marked with brilliant plays. It was a game ideal in every way for the opener of a season. This year's team under the management of Kal Segrist, late of Texas, appears to be a fast, clean, hardworking aggregation of young men, and it is predicted they will go high in the pennant race in the Western league. The team this year is balanced, something that could not be said last year. There is far more pep and spirit in the bunch than Omaha fans are in the habit of seeing. Many improvements have been made at the Vinton lot, and with the improved team, great crowds are expected this season. Tulsa is the attraction Saturday and Sunday and good games can be anticipated. Tulsa is at the top of the heap, with Omaha in the first division. Real battles will be the result. Attend these games and all during the season. You will be treated right and made to feel that you are welcome. Make up a party and attend Saturday's and Sunday's games.

THE MONITOR SHERIFF IS GIVEN MEDAL FOR SAVING NEGRO FROM MOB Kentucky Governor Presents Trophy on Behalf of Inter-racial Commission for Duty Done Frankfort, Ky.—Sheriff P. R. Brown of Graves county, who in 1926 saved a Negro from mob violence at Mayfield, Ky., has been awarded a medal by the Southern Inter-racial Commission, Governor Fields announced April 19. The award was the first of its kind to be made in Kentucky, and Governor Fields, in sending the medal to Brown in behalf of the commission, congratulated him upon the "splendid service" he had rendered his state and nation. The handsome bronze medal bears a heroic figure with drawn sword standing in front of a temple of justice, surrounded by the legend "In Defense of Law and Civilization." The award was passed upon by a commission composed of Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, former governor of Georgia; Governor John W. Martin, of Florida; the late Governor Henry L. Whitfield of Mississippi; Mrs. J. H. McCoy of Alabama; George B. Dealey, Editor of the Dallas News; and Marshall Ballard, Editor of the New Orleans Item. When on June 21st of 1926 a mob gathered about the Mayfield jail to get Willie Busby, Negro, charged with attacking a white girl, Brown gathered up his deputies and drove 75 miles at night through two rivers to carry the man to safety. WALTER WHITE SPEAKS AT DARROW'S SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY DINNER Expresses Thanks and Gratitude of 11,000,000 Negroes for His Services in Behalf of Justice New York—At what is reported to have been one of the most extraordinary affairs of the kind ever held in Chicago, the seventieth birthday dinner tendered to Clarence Darrow in the Palmer House by 1,200 men and women in all walks of life, one of the speakers was Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. White brought to Mr. Darrow an expression of the thanks and gratitude of 11,000,000 Negroes and their friends for his services in behalf of justice. Mr. White told the story of the defense of Dr. Sweet and his associates in Detroit, and of the masterly conduct of the case by Mr. Darrow culminating in a seven hour address to the jury which brought acquittal of Henry Sweet. "We do honor to a man who has attacked, ridiculed and exposed every idea held by this smug, bourgeois civilization of ours," declared Mr. White. "He has shown that the agnostics and free-thinkers are friends of the Negro rather than the fundamentalists whose religion which should make them the best friends of the people of other races, actually stops at the color line." Other speakers at the dinner to Mr. Darrow were: Zona Gale, novelist; Judge Harry Fisher of the Cook county circuit court; Donald Richberg, prominent attorney; Dr. John Haynes Holmes; Prof. Thomas V. Smith of the University of Chicago; Prof. Shirley J. Case and Fay Cooper Cole. YOUNG MATRONS FORM CLUB Eight young matrons met at the home of Mrs. J. F. Scott, 2731 Franklin street, April 8th, and organized a club called "The Mitzi Girls." The club meets the first and third Friday of each month. The club met last Friday, April 22, with Miss Blanche Buford, 2515 Binney street. Old gold and blue was the color scheme in the decorations, games were played, and a delicious two-course luncheon was served. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Drew Harrold, May 6th.

More than 75,000 voters have registered and are therefore eligible to cast their vote for the men whom they want to entrust with the government of this city. This is a very, very important matter. As a matter of fact, as we have frequently said, it is more important who shall be mayor of our city, sheriff of our county, and governor of our state than who shall be president. We are called upon to elect seven commissioners, who for the next three years will be responsible for the peace and general welfare of the community in which we live. The mayor is the general peace officer and administrator of the city. The police commissioner is charged with the protection of the lives and property of all citizens and the enforcement of the law. Public improvements, maintenance of the streets, lights, sanitation, public health, parks and recreational facilities, protection from fire and like calamities, and the oversight of expending the taxpayers' money for the needs of the city, are duties which devolve upon the commissioners in charge of the respective departments. So you can see how vitally interested you ought to be in the question of who shall be our City Commissioners. Don't you see how this question affects you directly and personally? If so, then don't you see how necessary and important a thing it is for YOU to GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE? If it is necessary and important for you to vote, you can see at once that it is important HOW AND FOR WHOM YOU SHOULD VOTE. Two separate tickets or slates are in the field. You are being asked to support either one of these tickets in their entirety, because the seven members of each slate are pledged to certain policies. It is not a question of independent or individual candidates now, but of slates. The fight is clean cut and sharply drawn between the "SQUARE SEVEN" and the "CITIZENS' TICKET," which is the new name for the Civic Alliance or KLAN SLATE. Which slate are you going to support? That is the whole question in a nutshell. The "Square Seven" is composed of men of proven civic ability. Six of them, Dahlman, Dunn, Hummel, Hopkins, Koutsky and Noyes have served the city faithfully and well as commissioners. This experience is worth a great deal. They have made good on their respective jobs. Among their opponents, there is not one that can surpass them in ability or equal them in experience. Marcell, the seventh man, has rendered good service in another public office. Judged from the viewpoint of experience and faithful public service the "SQUARE SEVEN" stand head and shoulders above the "Citizens' (Civic Alliance). Ticket" and therefore are entitled to your vote. Their record is before you. The Monitor has not stressed the other reason why our people should favor the "Square Seven" rather than the "Citizens' Ticket," because we desired to appeal to their good sense and judgment upon the ground of experience and fitness of the opposing slates rather than by what might be considered as an appeal to their prejudice against a hostile organization. There is, however, another valid objection to the "Citizens' Ticket" which we cannot afford to overlook and that is that it has the backing of the KU KLUX KLAN. We do not claim that all the candidates on that ticket are members of the hooded order, but that some are is generally conceded. This, however, cannot be denied, that the head of the local klan and his cohorts, among whom is the Florence fanatic upon whom it is alleged rests supicion of serious crime, are actively working for the "Citizens' (Civic Alliance) Ticket." WHY? They know that the "Square Seven" is against the Klan! The present administration refused permission to the hooded brigade to march through the streets of Omaha or to hold meetings in the City Auditorium and so the "Invisible Empire" is concentrating its strength, whatever it amounts to, to defeat the "Square Seven." It is thus a clear Klan and anti-Klan contest. Which do YOU want to see win? It is for you to say on next Tuesday by your vote whether you want men as City Commissioners who have given us a good administration, respecting the rights of all citizens, and have proven themselves capable and efficient, or whether it shall be turned over to inexperienced men, who, however good they may be personally, are under obligation to and will be influenced by an organization which teaches racial and religious hatred and intolerance. Whom do you want as YOUR city Commissioners for the next three years? Men of experience, who have served you well, and whom you know what they stand for and what they will do, or men of inexperience, whom you do not know what they will do? Men who stand against racial and religious intolerance, or men who are under the domination of an organization which stands for racial and religious intolerance? Klan or anti-Klan? "Citizens' (Civic Alliance) Ticket" or "Square Seven?" There are clear cut issues at stake in this campaign which make it imperative that you should go to the polls and vote. Don't stay home. Get out and vote. The Monitor believes that all our readers will see the issues of Tuesday's election as we see them and will go to the polls and VOTE FOR THE "SQUARE SEVEN."

C. — Addressing the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance here last week, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., declared that the influence of the colored clergy among their people was relatively greater than that of the white clergy among their white people. "The relative influence of colored clergymen among their congregations is greater than that of the white," declared Mr. Johson, "for the very obvious reason that the members of the average white congregation are open to and affected by more influences than the members of the average colored congregation. "The average colored congregation looks more fully to its pastor for its guidance upon all matters not only religious but political, social and personal. Therefore, since his influu RIVIERA CHANGES SEGREGATION POLICY Personal Appeal of Representative Singleton Is Successful in Securing Reform Members of our group who have attended the Riviera theatre in the past two weeks have been agreeably surprised at the courtesy extended to them. No attempt is now being made to seat colored patrons in the last rows of the third balcony. Representative John A. Singleton of the ninth district is to be given credit for the change in the segregation policy inaugurated upon the opening of this beautiful playhouse. At the earnest solicitation of several of our represntative citizens, Dr. Singleton began an investigation. He took the matter up with R. W. McGinnis, connected with the movie industry, who was attending the legislature. Mr. McGinnis immediately got in telephone communication with the manager of the Riviera and protested against this unfair discrimination. He gave Dr. Singleton his personal card, with the suggestion that he seek an interview with the manager. Dr. Singleton called upon him several days later, introduced himself and stated his mission. The manager received him courteously and listened to him attentively. While admitting that he had given orders to seat colored people in the third balcony, he declared that the attitude of the white theatre-going public demanded a separation of races, reminding Dr. Singleton that there were nearly 200,000 whites and 16,000 colored people in this community. Dr. Singleton called his attention to the Nebraska Civil Rights bill which guarantees to those 16,000 Negroes equal rights and privileges with those 200,000 whites. After some further discussion, the manager assured Dr. Singleton that the order segregating our group in the balconies would be cancelled. Our people, who are among the most loyal, substantial and law-abiding of our citizenry, rejoiced with all Omaha in the erection of this magnificent palace of amusement and are grateful to Dr. Singleton for the effort he made to adjust this matter that they may be able to enjoy the high-class attractions at the Riviera without embarrassment and humiliation. PICKENS SPEAKS AT FOUR COLLEGES ON MIDWEST TOUR New York, April 28—William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has spoken at four colleges on his midwestern lecture tour. In Meadville, Pa., Mr. Pickens addressed the students of Allegheny college; in Akron, Ohio, Mr. Pickens spoke in the chapel of Akron college; in Columbus, Ohio, he took two of Professor H. A. Miller's classes in sociology at Ohio State University, and in Bütler college in Indianapolis, Mr. Pickens spoke in chapel and took a sociology class. GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 614 ESDAY Command ching Influence ence is proportionately greater, so are the colored minister's responsibilities greater. It is incumbent upon him not only to inform himself intelligently upon the religious and moral phases of race problems but also the secular phases and forces that enter into and control race progress. "Colored clergymen should be well informed upon the Negro's status as a citizen, and his progress, the obstacles the Negro has to confront; and they should be among the first to support the organized activity by which the Negro's cause is advanced and his status as an individual affirmed through the courts and before the tribunal of American public opinion. In this way, the colored ministers can become, as some of them are, leaders of the race in every sense. The opportunity is there." THE "SQUARE SEVEN" STRONGLY ENDORSED Sixteen civic and improvement clubs, nearly all of the defeated candidates in the city primary, and men and women of every station of life, every race, creed, and religion, residing in all parts of the city, have endorsed Dahlman, Hopkins, Marcell, Dunn, Noyes, Koutsky, and Hummel, the "Square Seven" candidates, according to A. V. Shotwell, chairman of the campaign committee. During the past week there was published the names of 428 men and women from every part of the city, endorsing the "Square Seven" candidates because of their efficiency; their stand for square and sound government, and because they have kept the city taxes down to the minimum. A statement calling upon the voters to elect the "Square Seven" candidates was signed by practically everyone of the candidates who were defeated in the recent city primary. The statement of the defeated candidates said: "We heartily endorse the 'Square Seven' ticket composed of Dahlman, Koutsky, Hummel, Dunn, Hopkins, Noyes, and Marcell and urge the voters of Omaha to cast their vote for them at the election on May 3rd. We believe that the seven candidates known as the 'Square Seven' are the best qualified for the office, because they are experienced, efficient, and believe in sound government." The improvement club endorsements have actually poured into the campaign headquarters. Among the sixteen clubs that endorsed the 'Square Seven' are organizations of every leading faith and nationality, located in practically every part of the city. "The general city-wide support we are receiving is very gratifying to me and the other six," said Mayor Dahlman. "It is an inspiration to us to carry on in the best interest of the taxpayers of Omaha." DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND BRIDGE CLUB The Domestic Science and Bridge club met at the home of Mrs. Florence Johnson, 2618 Binney street, Monday, April 25th, with the president in the chair. After the transaction of business a delightful luncheon was served by the hostesses and bridge was played. The first prize was won by Mrs. Theodore Thomas and the booby prize by Mrs. H. Vawter. Mrs. G. W. Watson of Philadelphia substituted for Mrs. Jessica Wright. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Edgar Lee, 2417 Maple street. HEAD ANTI-IMPERIALIST WILL SPEAK SATURDAY Manuel Gomez, head of the All-American Anti-Imperialist league, is to be the principal speaker Saturday night at an anti-imperialist and Sacco-Vanzetti protest meeting at the Swedish auditorium.

In our judgment, his going is a distinct loss to the religious forces of this community. A broad-minded Christian gentleman, Southern born, and yet emancipated from the racial and creedal prejudices which narrow the vision, atrophy the sympathies, darken the understanding, warp the judgment and weaken the influence for righteousness of so many, Mr. Crain has a wide social outlook and a comprehensive sense of human brotherhood which is far too rare among those who profess to be followers of the Divine Master. Such a man, although he receive scant sympathy from those who have not caught his vision or appreciate his ideals, has a valuable contribution to make to any community which he may be called to serve. Knowing Omaha as we do, and the sentiment concerning racial status, contact and cooperation that prevails among many of the leaders, ministerial and lay, among the membership of the Council of Churches, that organization needs a man of James A. Crain's convictions and vision in an executive capacity. May his successor be a man of like-mindedness, a possibility which we very much doubt. Our association with Mr. Crain was not as a member of the Council of Churches, for we have neither part nor lot therein, but in another capacity, that of social welfare work and we learned to know and esteem him as a man of high principles, and sincere convictions and ringing true on human rights. It is a rather striking coincidence that his address on "Tolerance" recently delivered before one of the influential business clubs of this city, should have been reserved by us for publication in this issue, before we had learned of his resignation. That address bespeaks the man. The Monitor wishes the Rev. James A. Crain well-deserved success wherever he may go. J. F. T 2110 BEAUTIFUL LAWNS It is early in the season yet, but we are gratified to notice several beautiful lawns among the home-owners of our race. We hope that there will be a wholesome rivalry between our citizens to see just who will have the most beautiful lawns and most attractive yards. Among the lawns we have noticed with peculiar pride, to mention only three or four, are those of Mrs. M. E. Overall, 2010 Lake street; Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Brownlow, 2804 Ohio street and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. T. Smith, 2916 North Twenty-eighth street. The Monitor hopes to publish a good list of names of our people who have especially attractive premises. We will be pleased to have our attention called to any which may come under the observation of our readers. KEEP UP THE FIGHT Keep up the fight for the employment of teachers in the schools of Omaha. We have had teachers of our race employed here before. They made good. Look up their records. Ask their pupils, many of whom are now business men and women of the city. We have young women who measure up to any standard set by the Board of Education, graduates of our schools and universities, with the required years of teaching experience, and there is no reason why they should not be appointed —except that Superintendent Beveridge does not seem to want our people to have this just recognition. "Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed?" Are the members of the Board of Education mere rubber stamps, or have they something to say in this matter? Let there be no surrender, no giving up until there are competent young women of our race serving on Omaha's corps of public school teachers. WHILE SPEAKING While speaking of our citizens beautifying their premises we also desire to call taxpayers' attention to the fact that there are certain improvements which they can have in their respective districts if they will only go after them, such as paved streets and a more attractive system of lighting. A great deal of paving has been done and more will be done, but it will be done the more quickly if the property owners show that they are interested. LI Rev. H. visitor last Mr. J. T bluff, Neb. he will ret The awful (?) vision of the transportation of the Vatican from the banks of the Tiber to those of the Potomac, which seems to disturb so many, will not be dispelled by Smith's unequivocal reply to Marshall. That spectre is as persistent in the minds of some Americans as that of the overthrow of "white supremacy" by the American Negro is in the minds of others. Both spectres are regarded by sensible people as damphool bugaboos. VETERAN ATTORNEY WAXES POETICAL Ed F. Morearty, the well-known and veteran attorney, who has been one of The Monitor's subscribers, advertises and boosters from its beginning several years ago, and is the author of "Omaha Memories" and other publications, occasionally indulges in rhyming. The approaching election has inspired him to write the following entitled "The Square Seven." The Square Seven I heard sweet voices, I thought they were from heaven, But it was the voice of Women praising the Square Seven. The voices that I heard did not alarm me For they were the voices of the Salvation Army. They praised the Lord, their eyes went up to heaven For His selection of such men as the Honest Square Seven. And who are the men they spoke of so loud, And of whom they are so very proud? They are as follows as everyone knows, And no one sincerely dare them oppose: There is Honest Jim Dahlman, who stands on a steeple And proclaims to the world, I stand for the people. There is Henry Dunn, whom I have known from my boyhood days, And who never has changed from his straight and honest ways. There is John Hopkins, who at one glance Can tell us all about our city's finance. There is Joe Hummel, who rises with the morning larks, And knows every tree in our lovely parks. There is Joseph Koutsky, who by close observation, Has secured such low contracts as to startle all the nation. There is Dean Noyes, who is kept so busy he scarcely can be seen, But, oh boys, how every street he does keep clean. There is John Marcell, who as a clerk of our courts, Was never found short in any of his reports. So if you want a reward to help you in heaven, Vote for the Honest Square Seven. Vote for them all, from Dahlman to Marcell, And let the Civic Alliance go straight to ED. F. MOREARTY. Mrs. William Brown was hostess Sunday evening at her home on Emmett street, honoring Mile.

URBAN LEAGUE REPORTS ON INDUSTRY FOR MARCH Bulletin No. 13 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban league summarizes employment conditions as follows: General Conditions Employment improved somewhat during March, the advance coming late in the month. The iron and steel plants, in which a large proportion of Negroes are employed, showed improvement in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Prolonged unemployment periods in the west were eased and the month closed with brighter prospects for April. Conditions Among Negroes Reports from our associates in scattered parts of the United States tell of unemployment and curtailment in working hours almost without exception. This caused a general restlessness with the result that workers moved back and forth among cities within easy reach of each other. Baltimore and Columbus, usually fruitful cities for Negro workers and among the last to feel the depression, report large numbers out of work. Specific reasons were given for the shortage of work among Negroes in certain cities. For instance, in Springfield, Illinois, mine lockouts or strikes have forced some 5,000 men out of work, of which 225 were Negroes; and in Florida work ordinarily done by Negroes is being taken from them and given to whites, and wages have been cut. In Milwaukee the New LAKE THEATRE LAKE at 24th ALWAYS IN THE LEAD Sunday, Monday— LON CHANEY in "THE TRAP" — Vaudeville Sunday — Miller's Serenaders with GUY MORDANT Tuesday— Wednesday, Thursday— THOMAS MEIGHAN in "BLIND ALLEYS" also CHARLIE CHAPLIN in "SHOULDER ARMS" Friday, Saturday— Mighty Jules Verne's "MICHAEL STROGOFF" No Advance in Prices LINCOLN, NEBR Zane Grey's Big Production "DESERT GOLD" retirement of colored waiters has been forced by patrons of a large hotel. Organized Labor Here and there were incidents showing relationship with organized labor. In Baltimore, the Young Workers Labor Party has been especially active—two colored speakers appearing at its open forum. One-half of the brick masons of Lexington, Ky., who received a raise fro $1.25 to $1.50 per hour were Negroes. In Philadelphia, through the Armstrong association there, the co-operation of colored employees was sought and secured in a recent labor dispute between the Manufacturer's association and the labor forces of that city.

We have plenty of meat in th bag to supply diversion for our sav ues In the meantime.” He switehed suddenly into the Ser eea vernacular, “Are you all here, Iroquois dogs’ he demanded curtly “AIL are here, French mongrel,” re turned Ta-wan-nears pleasantly. De Veulle kicked him. “Keep that for the torture stake, he udvised. “We have five corpse: and feurteen warriors and yoursel! ‘That is all?” “All” relterated Ta-wan-ne-ars, De Veulle passed along ‘the Une crosequestioning each prisoner to ar accompaniment of Teks and threats All told the same story.” De Veul! seemed satisfied. He returned to ni side, and summoned a host of maske: figures from the surrounding shadows They Jerked us to our feet, stampe: out the tire and escorted us over th trampled, bloody snow where we hac fought, through the gloomy aisles 0 the Evil Wood and into the Irregula: strwets of La Vierge du Bois. Two men stood by the gate of th: stockade to greet us. One was Mur ray, the other was Baptiste Meurley ‘The unsavory face of the courrte ie bols grinned appreciation of my a tonishment “este, monsieur!" he exclaimed “It seems you are a slow traveler, | feared 1 might be behind you, but arrived twenty-four hours in advance I have to thank you for the beave pelts, They were a sufficient bribe fo. ny immediate release.” “That will do, Buptiste," interjecter Murray. “Heard you ever, Ta-wur he-ars, ‘of Scouts who wore bears’ pad for moccasins?” For the first and only thme durin: our acquaintance Ta-wan-ne-ars wa surprised Into a look of ehagrin, “We thought it was late for bear to be out,” he admitted. Murray chuckled with amusement, “Quite so, quite so! And so yor visit us once more, Master Ormerod 1 confess 'tis un unexpected pleasur which we shall strive to make th most of.” “Sir,” I said earnestly, “It make: little difference to me what 1s my fate but I conjure you by whatever preten sions to gentility you possess to giv: over your plan of selling your daugh ter.” “The words you choose for your ap peal do not commend tt to me,” hi returned. “Nor do I percelve wha’ business of yours it may be to ques tion my daughter's marelage.” Now, what put it In my head I know not, unless it was the fact that in hei letter to me Marjory had spoken o: him as “Mr, Murray”; but I leaped te the instant conclusion that she wa: not his daughter. Sure, no man coulc have disposed of his own daughter s old-bloodedly ! : “She is not your daughter in th first place,” I retorted boldly. “Ane in the second place, she has expresse: to me her abhorrence of her marriage us you know.” “Zooks,” be remarked mildly afte aun interval of silence, "tis strong lan wage that you use. You are a head strong young man, Master Ormerod Cun it be that you luve some persona interest in the matter?” Aguin some instinct prompted me. “I have,” I asserted. “Your daugh ter prefers me to the man you woul force upon her. And as a suitor, ac cording to your estimates of th world’s opinion, 1 am far more eligi ble than this Frenchman.” “You are scarcely wise to say so 7 his face, and I beg leave to differ wit! you. I find the Chevaller de Veulle : Very eligible young man, of rank in th world, of achievement, of distinc promise for the future.” “If you can call a man eligible wh was not even eligible for continues residence at the most profligate cour in Europe, I agree with you." “Put, tut,” remonstrated Murray “Your words are not those of a gentle man, sit. We will abandon the sub Ject. Where do you propose to inear cerate the prisoners, chevalier?” “[ would not risk them a secon time in the keeping of the savages, said De Veulle. “Let us try you IMB MURITOR Se eee ee a viously unwillingly, walked Murray. “Which is the Euglisbman Orme: rod?” demanded the priest in Freneh. “Here 1 am, father,” I answered, standing up as well as I could. “Mistress Murray tells me that you have won her affections?” he asked coldly. My heart leaped with sudden Joy. “Phat is true, father,” I said. “And you love her?” “As much as a man may, father.” He turned upon Murray with a ges- ture of decision. “There!” he exclaimed. “You have it in the face, What do you expect of me? Would you have me violate God's sacrament by wedding a maid against her affections? Some priests might do so, but I will never! Mar- riage without affection is adultery.” “You leap to conclusions, my good sir,” returned Murray. “The matd does not know her own mind. She Is a conquest for the Church, and her alliance with the Chevalier de Veulle cements the great work we are un- dertaking together.” “I will have naught to do with it,” responded the priest with decision. “Not even to admit her {nto the Church would I tolerate the fastening upon herself, her husband and myself of @ mortal sin. Ax for the Chevaller de Veulle, I will say nothing at pres ent. But I am not satisfied with every thing here at La Vierge du Bots. 1 shall have more t@ say on that score later.” He went out and up the statrs, and Murray, after a moment's hesitation followed him. But our reprieve was brief, ‘The next morning an augmented force of Jallers appeured. The thongs on our urms were tightened; our legs were unlashed; and we were marched up into the wintry sunshine again, our eyes blinking at the unwonted light ‘The village was deserted, and we percetved the reason when we reached the council place and saw the long row of stakes which stretched before the background of the green firs of the Evil Wood. Jeers and cries of de rision greeted wa, The False Faces strung thelr tL omened circle around us, and the feuther-tufted Keepers and thelr wom en and children pressed close to view the grewsome ‘spectacle. We were bound to the takes, ‘Ta-wan-nears and I in the mMidie of the line; and almost at once the torturing began upon the unfortnates at the two ex treirities. Theif songs and shouts of defiance soon gare way to u sinister silence, us they fought with all their will power to dirb the agony which bade them cry for mercy. ‘The horror of {i tirst sickened me. then flogged me Into a red-hot tem- pest of anger, And in the midst of the orgy cf bestiality Murray and De Veulle penetrated tte circle of False Faces, with Marjory, —white-faced, Uightlipped, between them, — They walked up to the Sake to which 1 was bound. Murray addressed te, “We are mukins a Bargain with the tady, Muster Ormerot, She Is to re nounce her objeciiors to De Veulle, own herself mistaken in her feeling of affection for you—und you are to he permitted to escape when she has sealed her engngements.” “Do pot think of It, Marjory," 1 culled to her, “) mind this not at all. And fear not.

And why should I escape if you—” His granite features softened as his eyes met hers. But before he could speak the scene shifvd with startling rapidity. There wae a bulge in the ring of False Faces and Ga-ha-no burst into the group. Dressed in her uniform as Gu-go-sa Ho-nun-as-tase-ta, the kilt and moe: casins, she fronted De Veulle with eyes blazing, breast hgaving. “Do you seek now to buy the white maiden with this man’s life?" she stormed. “You shall not!
