RACE VOTE SAVES "SQUARE SEVEN" LIFTIN LIFT T State Historical Society $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy ADMINISTRATION HEARTILY ENDORSED BY OMAHA VOTERS Six of Former Commissioners Are Returned to Office by Safe Majorities. Hummel High Man. RACE VOTE DECISIVE FACTOR "Square Seven" candidates, with one exception, won in Tuesday's election of city commissioners, returning Mayor Dahlman to office for the seventh term. He has served Omaha as mayor for 18 years. John T. Marcell, seventh man on the "Square Seven" slate, was defeated. Arthur A. Westergard, Civic Alliance candidate, winning sixth place, crowding Joseph Koutsky into seventh place and defeating the veteran Dan B. Butler, who headed Civic Alliance slate. Hummel High Man Joseph B. Hummel, popular park commissioner, was again the high man, polling 33,807 votes; with Dean Noyes, who has made good as street commissioner, second with 30,606 votes; and Mayor Dahlman, third, with 29,079. The standing of the others were John Hopkins, fourth, 28,251; Henry W. Dunn, fifth, 27,496; Arthur A. Westergard, sixth, 27,087; and Joseph Koutsky, seventh, 26,216. Heavy Vote Cast The total vote cast was a little in excess of 54,000, being within 400 of the heaviest vote ever cast here in a city election—that of 54,556 in 1921, when Mayor Dahlman returned to office after an absence of three years, during which time Omaha's disgraceful riot had occurred. Race Vote Decisive Among outstanding features of the Tuesday election was the heavy and united vote of our people for the "Square Seven," which in the case of several of the candidates was the decisive factor. Known Klan wards gave a heavy vote for the Civic Alliance ticket. Voters adopted the proposition for street improvement bonds by a vote of 21,402 to 19,905, but rejected the viaduct damage proposal by a vote of 21,143 to 20,961. The Hon. JAMES C. DAHLMAN. The Hon. JAMES C. DAHLMAN, who having served Omaha as mayor for eighteen years, was re-elected Tuesday for the seventh time, which is believed to be a record unequalled by the chief executive of any other American city. DUBOIS PLAYERS REHEARSING The Dubois Players club, the talented and popular company of local people, who have successfully presented several plays in the past, are rehearsing "The Flame" which will be given some time in June. This will be the first appearance of the Dubois players in two years and it is needless to say that they will be given a large audience. RESERVE OFFICER ORDERED TO LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Lieut. Ray L.

THE MONITOR ROLAND HAYES TO BEGIN MEMORIAL SCHOOL IN TRIBUTE TO HIS MOTHER The Celebrated Tenor Purchases 609 Acres of Land for Site of School To Commemorate Virtues of His Deceased Mother. Boston, Mass.—Six hundred acres of land near Calhoun, Ga., has been purchased by Roland Hayes, celebrated tenor, and will be used as a site of a memorial school in tribute to his mother. Mr. Hayes was born in Calhoun. When he came to Boston to study his mother came with him. In the struggles incident to his earlier vocal training, Mrs. Hayes fortified him with rare devotion and understanding and provided him with that background of serenity and peace necessary to the intensive study he set himself. And since Mrs. Hayes passed on several years ago, it has been Mr. Hayes' conclusion that no more suitable expression of his gratitude could be made than the foundation of a school which would become a center where inspiration and talent and ambition in his own people, as well as any of the white race which chose to come to it, might be guided and fostered and ultimately provided with a means of giving back to the world service in the arts. "I do not aim at impressiveness in the building or equipment," said Mr. Hayes to an interviewer, "all that must be secondary to the standard of instruction provided. Nothing will be done in a hurry. I have a great ideal, one worthy of the woman whose beautiful character has constantly inspired me in my own work and now bids me pass along to others something of its beauty and the opportunity it envisioned. But I think the ideal must find expression slowly. I want to build something as enduring as her great gifts to me." DENIED POST IN HOSPITAL; APPLICANT BRINGS SUIT Says He Passed Civil Service Examination, But Was Denied Position 'On Account of Color. New York, N. Y.—Claiming that he has been denied appointment as an X-ray electrician at Bellevue Hospital because of his color, Neville M. Atkinson filed mandamus application in the supreme court Saturday to compel Mark Fleming, general superintendent, to appoint him. The case will be heard by Justice Donohue. Atkinson said that on March 15, 1926, he and fourteen others took competitive examination and he was one of the three who passed, receiving a mark of 77.20, and ranking third. He said he was certified to Bellevue Hospital for appointment by the Civil Service Commission in January, but when he applied there Dr. Fleming refused to appoint him. He asserts that William Lesser, who did not pass, is holding the position temporarily. REFUSES CHINAMAN LICENSE TO MARRY COLORED WOMAN Clerk Declares Maryland Law Against Marrage Between White and Colelored Persons Bars Baltimore, Md.—The Maryland Klu Klux Klan bill which prohibits marriage between Caucasians and Negroes, was cited in the action of the clerk of the court of Rockville, Md., in refusing to grant a marriage license to a Chinaman to marry a colored woman. Samuel Moy, 31 years old, the Chinaman, sought a license to marry Turetta Budd, 29, after a journey from Washington, D. C., to Rockville, Md., where they planned to be married. The clerk refused the pair a license, stating that such would be illegal due to the state law which forbids marriage of white and colored persons. The pair left the office, bound for other destinations where a license could most likely be obtained. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927 EDITORIAL Hastately 54,000 out of 75,000 registered to the polls Tuesday and declared missioners in no unmistakable term, returned six of the men who fled loved the city well, Dahlman, Ishiky and Noyes, "the Square Six," and elected as the seventh man, Ardrossing slate, who defeated Marcell. For, as our readers well know, repeatedly supported the "Square Seven" (Civic Alliance) ticket, and provided important part in winning the should have preferred to have had. As Westergard has been chosen, and believe he will render good work. Butler, who for twenty-one years although considered a stormy man for his years of faithful public service, justified that such a large proportion of going to the polls are unusually large number of our men the returns from the precincts in which conclusively that it was our vote for the "Square Seven" slate. Had the last almost solidly for the "Square Seven" ticket, the only men who were "Square Seven" slate are Hummel, but only possibly, Dahlman. Hope they have been defeated without a chance but the bare facts as revealed by this vote: Hummel Dahlman Binks Dunn Westergard Boutsky Bottler Bruce Marcell Ardrossing Dinek Holds That there are 3,283 votes between between Dunn and Bruce and only ten; 2,455 between Butler and He and Koutsky; and only 329 between conservatively putting the race vote. If you can see that this is what elksky, and without this vote Dahn in very slim indeed. I Ward, which has the largest number, returned 18,201 for the "Square for the "Citizens' Ticket," or a man are not overlooking the fact that all white residents in this ward. Trecincts in which practically 90 are colored. These are the 12th, 13th, 17ly 70 per cent in the 4th, 5th acts first named, Dahlman receive Dunn 1,112, and Koutsky 1,114. than the combined vote cast for other slate. The race vote in these things of the others, or the vote for Fifth and Sixth, would have been and threatened Dunn. The vote for Koutsky elected him. Intention to these facts to emphasize and influence of the race vote as own people of the importance of the successful candidate for our loyal support we are better representation in public enjoy. We are entitled to not only honorable though such jobs are, merkships, inspectors, and others are qualified to fill. We should be in the Public Utilities, which, in, the Public Library and we know that the Board of Ethe City Government, we know bring influence upon that body. For confidently believes that the solidly and unitedly behind the reason to regret it, either from the city or in fairness to our people. Approximately 54,000 out of 75,000 registered and eligible voters went to the polls Tuesday and declared their choice for City Commissioners in no unmistakable terms. By decisive majorities they returned six of the men who for the past six years have served the city well, Dahlman, Dunn, Hopkins, Hummel, Koutsky and Noyes, "the Square Six," as they have been called, and elected as the seventh man, Arthur A. Westergard of the opposing slate, who defeated Marcell of the "Square Seven." The Monitor, as our readers well know, enthusiastically and whole-heartedly supported the "Square Seven" as against the "Citizens' " (Civic Alliance) ticket, and prides itself upon having had an important part in winning the victory. Of course, we would have preferred to have had Marcell win, but inasmuch as Westergard has been chosen, we extend our congratulations and believe he will render good service. He displaces Dan B. Butler, who for twenty-one years has been in public life, and although considered a stormy petrel, merits commendation for his years of faithful public service. We are gratified that such a large proportion of voters realized the importance of going to the polls and casting their ballots. An unusually large number of our race voted, and an analysis of the returns from the precincts in which our vote is heavy, shows conclusively that it was our vote which saved the day for the "Square Seven" slate. Had the Negro vote, which was cast almost solidly for the "Square Seven," supported the other ticket, the only men who would have been elected on the "Square Seven" slate are Hummel and Noyes, and possibly, but only possibly, Dahlman. Hopkins, Dunn and Koutsky would have been defeated without a doubt. This is not guess work, but the bare facts as revealed by the published returns. Here is the vote: It shows that there are 3,283 votes between Dahlman and Butler; 2,066 between Dunn and Bruce and only 1,700 between Butler and Dunn; 2,455 between Butler and Hopkins; 695 between Bruce and Koutsky; and only 329 between Butler and Koutsky. Conservatively putting the race vote at 3,000, and it exceeded this, you can see that this is what elected Hopkins, Dunn and Koutsky, and without this vote Dahlman's chances would have been very slim indeed. The Second Ward, which has the largest number of Negro voters in the city, returned 18,201 for the "Square Seven" as against 8,683 for the "Citizens' Ticket," or a majority of 9,518. Of course, we are not overlooking the fact that there is a large percentage of white residents in this ward. There are, however certain precincts in which practically 90 per cent of the residents are colored. These are the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th, with approximately 70 per cent in the 4th, 5th and 6th. In the four precincts first named, Dahlman received 1,129 votes, Hopkins 1,131, Dunn 1,112, and Koutsky 1,114. Each of these received more than the combined vote cast for any SIX candidates on the other slate. The race vote in these four precincts alone, to say nothing of the others, or the vote in other wards, like the Third, Fifth and Sixth, would have elected either Bruce or Butler and threatened Dunn. The vote in the 13th precinct of 332 for Koutsky elected him. We call attention to these facts to emphasize the potential power, value and influence of the race vote as a striking example to our own people of the importance of voting, and to call the attention of the successful candidates to the indisputable fact that for our loyal support we are justly entitled to a larger and better representation in public positions than we at present enjoy. We are entitled to not only a few janitor and like jobs, honorable though such jobs are, but something else, such as clerkships, inspectors, and others of like character that we are qualified to fill. We should have clerks and other employees in the Public Utilities, which are under the City government, in the Public Library and in the Public schools. While we know that the Board of Education is not directly under the City Government, we know that the Commissioners can bring influence upon that body to make them do the fair thing. The Monitor confidently believes that the Negro voters who stood so solidly and unitedly behind the "Square Seven" will have no reason to regret it, either from the standpoint of a well-governed city or in fairness to our people in the matter of employment. HELP GENEROUSLY The most terrible flood disaster in the history of the United States is devastating thousands of acres of land, making many homeless and destitute and taking a heavy toll of life in several Southern states. Thousands of these flood victims are members of our own race, but even though they were not, we would not be insensible to their needs. Wherever there is human need and suffering our people are eager to help. The million dollars is asked by the Red Cross, the loving mother who cares for all in distress.

LOUISIANS ARE S DELAY IN MAL DEPLORED BY St. Louis, Mo.—Is Negro business, which grows to large proportions in the South, safe? Persons who have watched the slow and uncertain but dramatic progress of the Poro case through the courts here are asking themselves that question. A business leader of St. Louis, commenting, after the latest delay in settling the case had been announced, on the net of work, of conspiracy, and entanglement which has been woven around one of the race's strongest businesses, said: "One of the axioms accredited to W. Gomez, late financial wizard of Durham, was 'After a Negro business institution located below the Mason and Dixon line passes the million dollar mark, it is no longer safe. White men begin to envy its power and influence and plan to cripple it.' Harry Pace, President of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, talking in Chicago last week, said he would never take his organization into southern territory for much the same reason—that its possibilities for growth would be hampered." Colored St. Louisians, who are viewing with growing bitterness the white receivership at Poro College, discuss in low and angry tones whenever you find them, of the situation from which this successful racial business is trying to extricate itself and say openly that only in a town of southern sentiment and influence like St. Louis could such a condition exist. No one here seems to think there is any reason for a receiver for "Poro" save to make fat fees which PROMINENT METHODIST PRELATE SPEAKER IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN Bishop Archibald James Carey Spent Three Strenuous Days in City Stumping for "Square Seven" EXCORIATES KU KLUX KLAN Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, who was recently appointed chairman of the Chicago Civil Service Commission by Mayor William Hale Thompson, at a salary of $7,500, spent three strenuous days in Omaha last week. Arriving early in the afternoon, Thursday, the Methodist prelate was guest of honor at a dinner tendered him by 70 business and professional men at 7 o'clock at Hillside, the attractive home and private cafe of Alfred Jones, the well-known caterer. The Rev. John H. Grant, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church was toast-master at this social affair. Brief toasts to "Our City Needs," "Our Guest," and "Our City Government," were given by D. W. W. Peebles, Dr. L. E. Britt, and Rev. John Albert Williams respectively. Bishop Carey in a brief, but practical address gave some most excellent advice on united action for racial advancement. At 8:30 before a capacity audience he addressed a political mass meeting in St. John's A. M. E. church, excoriating the Ku Klux Klan and urging support of the "Square Seven." Friday night Bishop Carey delivered a similar address at a large and enthusiastic meeting on the South Side. Saturday night Dreamland hall was crowded to its fullest capacity when he delivered his closing address in the city campaign. The Rev. John H. Grant presided at this meeting and the Rev. John Adams, presiding elder of the Omaha District introduced the speaker. Several of the candidates also spoke at this and the other meetings. Bishop Carey left for Chicago at midnight. ST. PHILIP'S MEN'S CLUB The Men's Club of St. Philip's Episcopal Church will hold its regular meeting next Wednesday night at the residence of W. G. Hayes, 2859 Corby street. The Rev. E. J. Secker, vicar of St. John's Episcopal Church, will be the special guest and speaker GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 615 EVEN" ONE CASE ST. LOUISIANS he and those responsible for his appointment probably will share. It is common knowledge that "Poro" is not only entirely solvent and prosperous, but that it is so finely organized and so wisely conducted by Mrs. Malone, that it is a huge money-maker. Therefore, the colored populace is impatient that Paeben, the white receiver, should be kept in charge, waving theoretically at least a big stick of vengeance over a Negro institution. Mrs. Malone, they contend, can furnish as large a bond as necessary. Why not free her hands, and if a receiver is necessary, make her the receiver under bond? It is admitted, however, that some of the high-handed tactics which the white receiver started in to exercise at "Poro," he has been forced to retreat from, because of the determined protests of the public and Mrs. Malone's lawyers. He returned a $500 check which he had drawn to his own account, ceased his efforts to get her formula and has not discharged any more of her employees during the past several weeks. One of the reasons for this change of attitude, it is said, is his uncertainty where his fee will come from. If it is decided, as Mrs. Malone's lawyers contend will be true that no partnership exists, then there will have been no reason for the appointment of a receiver and hence no reason for paying him, unless it is taken from the ten thousand dollar bond which Mr. Malone posted. WALTER BELL AS AN ENTERTAINER An Appreciation by Dan Desdunes In the passing of Walter W. Bell the amusement world has lost one of its brightest stars. For the past 18 years 1 employed him whenever I needed a man in his line. During that long period he was called upon to entertain every known kind of an audience, and it gives me pleasure at this time to say that he always made good. He never had to use a make-up, or did he ever ridicule the race to get a laugh. He was one of the few performers that I ever saw that could use his hands properly, they never seemed to be in his way; they had a language all their own. He was not a musician, but he could coach a quartette to sing in perfect harmony. He was not a pianist, but he could play behind a singer with an understanding that fooled knowing people. He was born to entertain, he was master of all of the little subtle touches that characterizes the true artist. While he was living he helped to make the world a more cheerful place to live in. Now that he is dead it will be well to remember him as a man of wonderful talent. Walt—we miss you because you served us, Oh! so well, Another might replace you, who er might replace you, who knows? Time alone can tell. PLAY A SUCCESS The play, "Price of the White Way," which was given at St. John's A. M. E. church, Monday night, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Hester Porter and the management of Mrs. C. B. Mayo, was a pronounced artistic and financial success. Each participant fully measured up to the part taken. ENTERTAINS AT DINNER Mrs. Opal Bell Morgan entertained at dinner Sunday at the home of Mrs. Anna Banks, 924 North Twentieth street in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Gordon Handy of Chicago, Mr. Eugene Bell of Mason City, I., Mr. and Mrs. William Johnson, Mrs. Adeline Moore and Miss Bessie Bell, sisters and brother of Walter W. Bell. It was a pleasant company as all had been children together. Dr. J. B. Hill was also a guest at the dinner.

They felt very much hurt and aggrieved that such a charge should be made. One of the candidates publicly expressed himself as "surprised that the editor of The Monitor, a gentleman whom we all highly esteem, should publish on the front page of his newspaper an editorial like this" (referring to our editorial of last week) making such a charge." Will those who denied the charge explain these returns from two of the wards which are known to be Klan strongholds, the First and Twelfth? First Ward Citizens' Slate ..... 25,160 Square Seven ..... 18,908 Twelfth Ward Citizens' Slate ..... 15,183 Square Seven ..... 8,247 The western precincts of the Tenth reveal relatively like returns.

For the first time for many, many moons, the colored vote in this city was practically united and voted solidly. May this become a fixed habit and we will get somewhere. "A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER" While the First Ward gave the Klan slate a majority of 6,252 and the Twelth Ward one of 6,936, the anti-Klan Second Ward gave the Square Seven a majority of 9,518 and the Third, a majority of 8,193. Two Klan wards gave their slate a total majority of 13,188, two anti Klan wards gave their slate a total majority of 17,711. HAYES HONORS MOTHER What a beautiful tribute to the memory of a self-sacrificing mother, as all true mothers are, is the building of a memorial to his mother by the gifted tenor, Roland Hayes. And how J. F. T 2116 Webster 6014 Large selections. Guaranteed quality. Easy terms. No interest to pay. As much as 18 months to pay. fitting it is that the memorial is to take the form of a school where privileges will be open to all, white as well as black, who may wish to partake of the privileges it will offer for the nurture of the utilitarian, cultural and artistic life. It is to be at Calhoun, Ga., his birthplace, where his race is so largely denied privileges of even rudimentary education to say nothing of the artistic. Will the vision and magnanimity of this gifted son of that Georgia hamlet be lost on the South? Or will Roland Hayes by this pious act of commemoration of his sainted mother prove himself a gifted seer as well as gifted singer? LINCOLN.

Please Give Us a Trial Y. W. C. A. NOTES Mother and Daughter Week opened with a very lovely Mother and Daughter Mass Meeting, Sunday after noon, May 1st, at Hillside Presbyterian church. The messages of the hour were brought to us by Mrs. Rhone and Mrs. Taylor, two capable women of our group who are so willing to serve in our community. Encouraging remarks and a special invitation to the mothers and friends to visit the "Y" building and there get the proper information about the programs, were given by the chairman of the board of management, Mrs. Estelle Craig. Mrs. Craig Morris, Girl Reserve chairman, gave a brief but very effective summary of the Girl Reserve department. On Tuesday evening, May 3rd, the Mother and Daughter Banquet was held in the "Y" building. A balloon triangle overhead added much to the simple table decorations of flowers, candles and the blue and white Girl Reserve colors. The loving way the mothers and daughters responded proves that there can be a better understanding existing between mothers and daughters if such organizations as the Y. W. C. A. and churches work on a co-operative basis. Mrs. Herbert Wiggins, another mother who is so anxious to see us gain better understanding of each other gave an inspiring talk. The decorations were simple but attractive. Everyone seemed to enjoy a jolly time. Last Saturday, April 30, opened the hiking season of the year. The Tuesday afternoon club went for a fine trip through the forest along the river, beginning at Camp Brewster.

ROSENWALD, CHICAGO'S WEALTHIEST RESIDENT Chicago, Ill.—Ten men in Chicago have personal fortunes amounting to $422,000,000. Bankers and industrial leaders helped prepare a list Tuesday showing whom they believe to be the ten wealthiest men in Chicago. The list, conservatively estimated, follows: PRAISES EFFORTS OF LITTLE ROCK NEGROES Little Rock, Ark.—Commenting favorably on the colored citizens' drive to raise, without asking aid from the white citizens of Little Rock, $25,000 for the first unit of a $175,000 colored Y. M. C. A. building, the Daily News of Little Rock, pays tribute to the financial advancement of the race. "The Negroes of Little Rock are lifting themselves up," says the editorial. "We people of the South are too prone to think of the Negro in terms of the latest lynching. We often measure him by the man who mows our yards, or the women who perform the menial tasks of the home. It is quite possible we are not cognizant of the amazing strides the race itself is taking right here in our midst for its own advancement." THE MONITOR J. E. Kuklin, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this issue, has purchased the hardware business of J. Kaplan, 1410 North Twenty-fourth street, and has enlarged the stock. Mr. Kuklin has added radio accessories and an electrical repairing department. He will be pleased to serve your needs.

Y.—A gain of 489,556 communicants of all religious faiths and sects in the United States in 1926 was reported today in a census completed by Dr. H. K. Carroll, for the Christian Herald. The total number of communicants was given as 47,550,902, of whom 16,808,171 are Roman Catholics, 8,968,288 Methodists, 8,670,895 Baptist, 2,610,716 Presbyterians, and 2,588,279 Lutherans. SEES OPPRESSED CHINA THROWING OFF SHACKLES Washington, D. C.—Support of the Chinese nationalist movement was recorded by E. H. Hayes, missionary worker in China, speaking at a luncheon given by the "Y's" Men's Club. "We hear much of anti-Christian and anti-foreign movements in China, but when one understands things done to the Chinese he will favor many of these movements, as I have," said Mr. Hayes. The speaker drew a startling picture of Chinese exploitation by foreigners and the contempt with which they are treated. He said three-fourths of Shanghai is controlled by the western powers, and that signs in public parks read: "No dogs or Chinese allowed." Mr. Hayes said the Chinese are awakened and it is folly to attempt to check their aspirations. "We have speed and efficiency, but the Orientals have a culture and LINCOLN MARKET is still drawing crowds. There is a reason. Groceries and meats which please.

CHURCHES GAINED a civilization that dates back 6,000 years," he said. "The Chinese are beginning to compare our fine professions of lofty idealism with what we actually do. This outlook is sweeping the Far East and every attempt at force makes matters worse, as it justifies the claim that we talk one way and act another," said Mr. Hayes. WAR DEPARTMENT PASSES BUCK IN NEW YORK SECRETARY CASE Washington, D. C.—Responsibility for the barring of Marsden V. Burnell, high school student from the Citizens' Military Training Camp because of his color, was blamed on the Corps Commander of the New York Area by the War Department. President Coolidge ordered an investigation of the case after the incident had been brought to his attention by Editor Moore of the New York News. Editor Moore characterized the action as undemocratic and of harmony with the true policy of the American government. The N. A. A. C. P. and Hon. Emmett J.

KAAA WOOR The Doom Trail — By — Arthur D. Howden Smith Author of PORTO BELLO GOLD, Etc. (@ by Brentano's.) WNU Service CHAPTER XIV.—The messenger has a note from Marjoram beseeching Ormerod to save her from De Veuille, who is to marry her at once. With a knife he ormerod and Ta-wan-nars set out. They are ambushed by the Cahnaquus. CHAPTER XV.—Those of Ormerod party not killed are taken prisoners. At La Vierge du Bois Ormerod learns the supposed message from Marjoram was a decoy. He voles his suspicion that Marjoram is not Murray's daughter. The latter employs Da-ha-no-attempt to kill De Veuille and a knife duel the pair slay each other. The False Faces moved forward reluctantly, but Ga-ha-no acted without hesitation. A knife leaped from a fold of her kilt, and she sprang upon De Veuille like a wildcat. He retreated, and ripped out his own knife. But she closed with him, and the two knives sank home at the same instant. Hers pierced De Veuille to the heart. His drove to the hilt into her right breast, and she staggered bout, coughing blood, against the rigid form of Ta-wan-ne-ars, bound foot to the stake. "Ga-ha-no—was not—worthy of—Ta-wan-ne-ars," she gasped as her head slipped down his chest. "It—is—better—so." No torture could have distorted his face into the image of frenzied despair which it displayed as he strove uselessly to bend down to her. "My Lost Soul!" he muttered. "Oh, Ha-wen-ne-yu, my Lost Soul! Oh, Great Spirit, my Lost Soul!" Marjory crept nearer to me, the horror in her face turning to pity, the tears streaming from her eyes. "The poor lass!" she cried softly. "The poor, brave lass!" CHAPTER XVI The Might of the Long House The silence of consternation gripped the hordes of the Keepers of the Trail. The sea of painted, scowling faces exhibited one frozen expression of awe at the suddenness of the tragedy. Only Murray gave no indication of feeling as he knelt by De Veille's side. He stood up, wiping a spot of blood off one of his hands with a laced handkerchief. "He is gone," he remarked impartially. "Give a look to the Indian girl," I urged. He shrugged his shoulders as if to say it was not worth while; but Marjory stooped over Ga-ha-no, composed the disordered black tresses and closed the wildly starling eyes. "Tis useless, Harry," she said. "She is dead." "Ga-ha-no—is—dead!" repeated Tawan-nears blankly. His heaving muscles relaxed, and he hung Hmp in his bonds against the stake. "At the least, the woman gave you an avenue of escape from an intricate problem," commented Murray. "You do not seem glad, my dear." "I am not glad," retorted Marjory scornfully. "And I am right content that you should be unable to understand why I will be mourning for her." "Ah, well, we have never understood each other, have we?" rejoined Murray, taking snuff absent-mindedly. "Come, we will give orders for the removal of the unfortunate pair, and—" The horror dawned once more in Marjory's face. "And what?" she gasped. "You forget, Marjory, that my savage henchmen have work to do," he answered nonchalantly. "I take it for granted that you do not wish to remain and view their labors?" "You would leave these—these men—Master Ormerod—to—to—" "And why not?" he replied. "They are enemies. As I have had occasion "AND WHY NOT?" HE REPLIED "THEY ARE ENEMIES" to tell him ere this. Master Ormerod he has sought to contrive my ruin. But I am a reasonable man. I am always willing to discuss terms." "And what might you mean by terus?" I demanded, taking a hand in the conversation. He deliberated as unconcernedly as if we sat on opposite sides of a table in London, entirely ignoring the huddled corpses at his feet, the line of bodies suffering in the bitter cold against the stakes and the attendant cordon of Indians whose faces studied his as their fingers itched to resume the torture. "An undertaking to abandon this wholly barren persecution of my enterprises," he decided. "I should require the signature of Governor Burnet to the document." "And my companions here?" I asked curiously. "You forget that even my powers are necessarily limited," he said. "I could not possibly snatch from my people's vengeance Iroquois warriors taken red-handed in an attempt to massacre them." I laughed. "You do not yet know me, Murray." "Possibly you are subject to education," he retorted, buttoning up his greatcoat. "Come, Marjory." She drew away from him. "I choose to remain," she said coldly. "I choose that you shall not." He waved his hand in unmistakable signal of release to the watchful False Faces and their followers. A yell of satisfaction swelled from their hungry throats, and they dashed forward. "Twill be difficult for me to control them in a few moments," observed Murray. He looked up in amazement, as a mantle of silence enveloped the council place for the second time. voice in the Cahnnuaga dialect, "verly Ha-ne-go-ate-geh has claimed you! You are mad! You toy with your enemies here when the warriors of the Long House are as thick along the Doom Trail as the falling leaves of autumn. The Keepers who were on watch are dead or in flight. At any moment the Iroquols will be here. They have burned Ga-o-no-geh. The snow of the Trail is trampled flat by their multitudes. Aye, the Doom Trail is bringing doom upon its Keepers." His words were drowned in a racket of firing from the heart of the Evil Wood. A number of the False Faces emerged from the shelter of the firs, their awful masks wabbling unsteadily. "The People of the Long House!" they wailed. "The People of the Long House are come!" "We are attacked back and front," snarled Murray. "Well Master Ormerod, you and your friend the chief are excellent hostages." He bellied a series of commands which brought some degree of order out of the confusion, and dispatched one party of Keepers into the wood to resist the attack from that quarter. Another body he sent through the village to hold the approaches of the Doom Trail. Under his directions the remainder of the warriors unbound the surviving prisoners from the stakes and escorted us to the stockaded house in which he dwelt. In the doorway they paused to await the coming of Murray. He arrived presently, with Marjory hanging unwillingly on his arm. "The prisoners?" he rasped in answer to the question of our guards. "Take them to the cellar. Look to their security if you value your lives." An echo of distant shouts reached our ears as we stood there, and across the posts of the stockade we saw the Keepers streaming from the Evil Wood and at their heels certain darting, quick-moving figures that we knew must be the warriors of the Eight Clans. "It is time to bring our women and children inside the stockade," proposed one of the Cahnuagus. Murray shook his head. "We have not room nor food to spare. See," he said, as the sound of firing came from the southward, "we are surrounded. We are ignorant of the strength of the Iroquois. It may be all we can do to defend ourselves. Women and children would be so many inconveniences to us." And whilst a squad of savages conducted us to our prison the rest manned the firing platforms around the stockade and prepared to cover the retreat of the Keepers, who were failing back rapidly before the hard-driving attacks of the Iroquois. I sought for a word with Marjory as we entered the door, but Murray deliberately strode between us. All I gained was a glance from her eyes that bade me be strong and confident. Ta-wan-ne-ars sat with his back to a wall; his eyes fixed on vacancy, his lips murmuring at intervals Ga-hano's name. I tried to interest him in what went on without success. He looked at me, and turned his eyes away. We slept little that night, for we were very cold and we had no food. But in the morning the Keepers thrust a pan of corn mush within the door and we ate it to the last kernel. I forced a portion upon Ta-wan-ne-ars, feeding him with a stick we found on the floor. After that we slept for several hours, and then a lanthorn gleaned on the stairs and Murray stepped into our midst, an immaculate periwig on his head, his linen spotless, his brown cloth suit as fresh as if direct from the tailor's hands. He set the lanthorn on the dirt floor and stood beside it. "A good morrow to you, Master Ormerod," he bagan. "I have come to THE MONSTER hold counsel with you. Look you, my friend, we each of us have that which the other wants. In such a case sensible men come to terms." "I would not trust you now on any terms," I said flatly. "Tut, tut, sir. Is that language for one gentleman to employ to another?" "Have a care, sir," he warned. "You are a scoundrel." I finished. "Look you, Master Ormered, I have you fast here. I have also the chief, your friend. I have in addition one you love." "Before you proceed further," I interrupted, "I wish you to answer me one question: Whose child is she?" He hesitated, and regarded me sidewise. "Oh, well," he said after a moment, "it might as well out now as later. The maid is the child of my sister." "And her name?" "She is a Kerr of Fernleside," he answered pompously. "I should add, sir, that I have been at particular pains with the girl, having an especial affection for her." "Well, of that we will say no more," I said. "I find it unpleasant to hear you talk of her. You are helpless, but you attempt to impose terms. What are your terms?" "A safe-conduct for me and my people to Canada." "So that you may restore your trade again?" A look of sorrow flitted over his face. "I cannot restore it. Master Ormeod. That fact is indisputable. My one hold upon public opinion 'was my success and the power it gave me. Let me fall and lose my power, and my influence is dead." "Yes." I agreed: "that is true." "Moreover," he went on, "my savings are killed or scattered. My or organization is gone. My most valuable servants are slain. Let us end this interview. Are you prepared to go outside the stockade and secure consent to the terms we have discussed, giving your word of honor to return here afterward?" The Barring of the Doom Trail "Qua, O-te-ti-an-11" Do-ne-ho-ga-web's right arm was lifted in the salute. Corlauer, his broad face with is insignificant, hap hazard features shining with emotion, grasped my hand and wrung it heartily. The Guardian of the Western Doe drew himself up proudly. "Ga-ha-no did wrong," he said, "but she died as became the daughter of a roy-an-eh of the Long House." "She died like a warrior," I replied "You make the heart of Doe-ho-ga weh very glad," acknowledged the roy-an-eh. "Can he still my fears for my nephew?" "Ta-wan-ne-ars fought like a chief," I answered. "But his heart was made very sad by the death of Ga-ha-no and his mind has wandered from him for a space." "It will return," affirmed Do-ne-ho-ga-weh. "Now tell us, do you come hither as a captive or a conqueror?" "I come to offer the terms of Murray; but first tell me how successful you have been, so that I may know whether I should advise acceptance of what he offers." Do-ne-ho-ga-weh swept his arm around the horizon. "Everywhere you see ashes and destruction," he replied. "The Keepers of the Trail are dead or imprisoned in Murray's stockade. Their women and children are our prisoners. Our beaks can scarcely support the loads of scals we have taken. We have swept the Doom Trail." "Take back this message to Murray Tell him that he is to surrender his house as it stands, with all it contains. Tell him that he is to give up to us the malden he calls his daughter, whom you desire to wed. Tell him that he is to send forth the prisoners he has taken. Tell him that he is to render up all the arms he has in his possession. "And then he and those of the Keepers of the Trail who are left to him shall march out, and the people of the Long House will escort them to Jagara, where they shall be handed over to Joncaire to dispose of as pleases Onontio and the French." Murray heard my report in silence, and cast his eye over the surrounding scene before replying. "It shall be done," he said at last. "Was ever a man so sorely tried by fate? Does our treaty go into effect at once?" "So be it. I will give orders to have your friends conducted here." The battered remnants of our war party appeared with Ta-wan-ne-ars walking in the lead, his face once more a study in impassive rigor. "Murray says we are free, brother," he said, stepping to my side. "It is true." The sadness shone momentarily in his eyes. "I have had a bad dream, brother," he went on. "My Lost Soul is redeemed by Ha-wen-ne-yu and is gone on before me for a visit to Ata-ent-sic. But in a little time, when I am rested, I shall go after her and fetch her back to dwell happily with me in my lodge." "But how can you, a mortal, journey into the hereafter?" I protested. "It cannot be!" "How shall we know it cannot be until we have tried? Ta-wan-ne-ars will try." He glowered. "I will do so." CHAPTER XVII I could say no more. Such simple faith was unanswerable. I wondered how much of it was the unconscious working on a sensitive mind of the very Christianity he had rejected. Marjory's voice recalled me to the present. "Master' Murray tells me he hath surrendered," she said. I turned eagerly to find her at my side. My hands leaped out for hers, and she yielded them without hesitation, her brave eyes beaming love and couradeship unashamed. Raleigh, N. C.—From present indications the Negro vote will be the deciding factor in the forthcoming city election. Acting upon the advice of the political leaders of the state of North Carolina, hundreds of Negroes have registered and are eligible to vote. This large and unprecedented registration of Negro citizens has caused much concern in political circles here and has become a distinct issue in the campaign between the present office holders and the candidates. Mayor Culberth, in discussing the matter, declared that "we have as law abiding colored citizenship as any city in the state, and if colored people desire to take part in the city election that is their privilege given under our form of government, which is non-partisan."
