CHARLESTON, S. C.—Aug. 25.—Many a race man unknowingly sacrifices his life in southern cities attempting to defend the chastity of our women. Commenting on these unpleasant conditions Mr. Wainright has the following to say:
"The following actually happened upon the streets of a fair sized southern city and will serve as an illustration depicting the chances that the colored population of these cities here in receiving protection from the minions of the law.
"A young man was in conversation upon the streets with a young woman of his race who could easily, and without detection pose as an Anglo-Saxon. The conversation was brief, being merely a friendly greeting after a term at college. The young man was, according to Andrew Y. Robinson's 'Negro Types,' (which he recently published in Leslie's Weekly), a brown skin. After an exchange of greetings the couple went in opposite directions. A few feet away from where he and the young lady stood was a policeman. When the young man reached the spot where the 'copper' stood, he was stopped. 'Isn't that a white girl?' the 'copper' asked. 'Am I white?' the young man replied. 'D—n' roared the 'copper,' 'she sure looks white, and such pretty features. Do you think I could meet her?' 'Do you think I could meet a white woman?' the young man quarried, 'and if I did meet one you would be the first to suggest the rope' he declared. 'You can meet her if you care to, but the same fate that is meted out to a Negro man will be your's,' continued the young man with emphasis. At this period of the conversation the sergeant appeared and the 'copper went to report.
"Instances like the above is to the careful observer an everyday occurrence and in a number of cases the 'copper' usually has his way, which is due to the unprincipled ways of many of our men, who for a measley few dollars will willingly entrap our women for these dirty immoral brutes. This practice is not confined to the south, but is almost universal. Then, too, too many of our women consider it an honor (?) to be a paramour of a white man.
"Coming back to the main topic: How can the Negro man feel safe in cities with only white policemen, most of whom are always on the lookout for the good and refined women of our race and will stop short of nothing to carry out their feindish desires?
"The future of the race depends largely upon the battery that the Negro men place to protect their womanhood, and Negro men can only build such a battery when they are sure that their women are not enwrapped with the white scions.Many a Negro man has unknowingly sacrificed his life in, as he thought protecting the honor and chastity of his race, only to have his survivors bitterly assail his unsought protection, for in many instances such action is not appreciated by the woman herself.
"A higher standard of morality is our pressing need, with absolute ostracism for both men and women known or caught intermingling. The purity of the race must be preserved at all hazards."
JIM CROW CARS ARE CAUSE OF DEFICIT IN VIRGINIA LINE
(Danville Traction and Power Company are worried as to just how to conduct the local street car system in a way to make the business profitable. Some are inclined to blame the shortage in revenues on the presence of such a large number of flivver owners here, but a majority of them are of the opinion that the real cause of the falling off of revenues is that white and colored people are allowed to use the same doors of the street cars for entrance and exit. The company announced its intention to put on one-man cars to cut down operating expenses, but this plan is being bitterly opposed by various citizens' clubs and organizations, and it is thought the railway company will abandon this idea.
A prominent official of the company is alleged to have stated that he thought the only way out of this perplexing dilemma is to construct street cars with separate entrances and exits for white and colored people. "You just can't mix these white and colored people down south, especially in public conveyances," he said.

STRIKEBREAKER IS KILLED IN FIGHT WTIH A SHOPMAN
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 25—Wallace Jewell, who came here from Washington, D. C., to take the place of a striking shopman in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shops at Glennwood, was killed in a fight here last Tuesday afternoon.
Jewell and another shop worker quarreled over some technical matter regarding the handling of a milling machine and who was boss, and during the argument, according to the police, Jewell is said to have swung to slap Williams with his hand in the face. Williams seized an iron bar and struck Jewell on the head, killing him almost instantly. Williams was arrested and turned over to the Coroner of Allegheny county. Following a hearing before the coroner's jury Vernie Williams was held for court on a charge of manslaughter. At the hearing Williams testified that he swung the iron bar when Jewell attempted to strike him.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS A MISSISSIPPI WHITE IS OKLAHOMA SHERIFF CALL KU KLUX BLUFF CONVICTED ON CHARGE OUTWITS ANGRY MOB ON FAKE OATH, AVERS OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT SAVES HIS PRISONER
(Preston News Service)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 25—The Ku Klux Klan, which has been responsible for the secret circulation of a spurious document purporting to be the genuine official oath of the Knights of Columbus, got a set-back here last Tuesday when the Reverend Father F. T. Sullivan publicly announced in the local daily papers that "Five Thousand Dollars was on deposit in the First National bank of Chattanooga, Tenn., and would be donated to any person who would show that the 'alleged bloody oath of the Knights of Columbus is not a cruel, cowardly and fake oath." It is said that klansmen are using the fake oath to plant the seeds of religious hatred in the minds of the more illiterate of the people in this vicinity, and have even been able in some instances to really convince some of the better informed citizens that the oath is genuine.
It is claimed that Catholics are not as easily terrorized as Negroes, and the nefarious Ku Klux organization is trying to engender religious hatred against the Catholics through the secret circulation of this fake oath.
ORGANIZATION IS FORMED TO FIGHT KU KLUX KLANISM
(Preston News Service)
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 25—In an effort to form a concerted nation-wide action to curb the pernicious activities of the Ku Klux Klan, it is announced that an organization to be known as the American Unity League has been formed with Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal church, as honorary chairman, and Patrick H. O'Connell, a prominent local attorney, as chairman.
GEORGIA ESTABLISHES
A. & M. SCHOOL FOR
BLACKS IN NAME ONLY
(Preston News Service)
FORSYTH, Ga., Aug. 25—A bill passed the General Assembly last Monday authorizing the establishment of a Negro Agricultural and Mechanical School here. The bill, however, provides no appropriation, but simply makes of an existing Negro school, where vocational training has been put in operation, a state district school with a board of trustees.
A large number of Negroes throughout the state declare that this is but another step in the southern white man's plan to control the curtailment of Negro educational facilities in Georgia.
CORN WHISKEY FOUND IN PREACHER'S HOME
GLADSTONE. Va., Aug. 5—During the vigorous drive of the Virginia dry forces here last week, the Rev. George Lucas, a leading respectable minister of the Gospel here was arrested, charged with having one gallon of whiskey and twelve gallons of blackberry wine stored in his home. Rev. Lucas' case was held over until the next term of the Nelson county grand jury, being released on bond of $500 for an appearance at that time. The leading white and colored citizens here are very indignant because the officers arrested Rev. Lucas, who bears a splendid reputation in this town. It is claimed by them that the intoxicants were for the administration of the Holy Communion.
VISITING IN NEW YORK
(Preston News Service)
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 25—Miss Jennie M. Proctor, president of the Strait-Tex Chemical Company, is spending several days visiting relatives and friends in New York City and Boston. Miss Proctor will return home about September 1st, after which she will devote her time to developing a new process for dyeing women's hair.
(Special to The Tribune)
LAUREL, Miss., Aug. 25—Earl Keenon, white, indicted upon a charge of criminal assault, was found guilty here this week, but the jury was unable to decide the punishment.
Fayette Holifield and Will Davis, also were found guilty previously of the same offence, for making a criminal assault upon Mrs. Emma Mayatt, a pretty young widow of Newton County, on the evening of July 5.
The case was one of the most revolting in the annals of Jones County, the nature of the case being such that public sentiment was aroused to a high pitch. There was no talk of lynching.
WAR DEPARTMENT COMMISSIONS MORE STUDENTS AT HOWARD
(Preston News Service)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25—In addition to the seventeen Howard University students already commissioned as second lieutenants in the Reserve Army of the United States, six other students were awarded commissions as second lieutenants at the close of the R. O. T. C. Infantry Camp, U. S. A., at Camp Meade on July 24th, by Brigadier General Martin.
Those receiving commissions were; Walter A. Adams, Des Moines, Iowa; Robert L. Lollard, Houston, Texas; Robert J. Madison, Mobile, Alabama; Samuel R. Cheevers, Albany, Georgia; Julian J. Evans, Washington, D. C.; and Arthur W. Ferguson, Richmond, Virginia.
Thirty-eight Howard students attended the summer Reserve Officers Training Camp at Camp Meade this year. Quite a number of the men made high ratings at the shooting range. Among them were A:lbert J. Holmes, of Baltimore, who was the only cadet to qualify as an expert rifleman, receiving a prize of $12.50, having scored 293 out of a possible 350 points; Arthur T. Ferguson, of Richmond, Va., the only cadet to qualify as a sharp shooter, scored 287 points. The cadets who qualified as marksmen were: Walter Adams, Linnear H. Bryant, Purvis J. Chesson, Alonza L. Mason, Julian J. Evans, Clemens H. Fitzgerald, Menthor E. Harrod, Edwin D. Johnson, Robert J. Madison, Grant M. Robinson, Horace C. Scott, William Spiller, Edward U. Taylor, Theodore O. Walker, and James M. Young.
Indications are that commissions will be awarded to fifty-five Howard University men next June, including those who attended camp this summer and those who will complete the course in the Howard University R. O. T. C. Unit with an additional year's military training.

(Preston News Service)
NEWBORN, N. C., Aug. 25—The colored people of Swansboro, a small village near here, are up in arms over the report that a crowd of colored men is alleged to have killed Cy Jones, a rural mail carrier. The report has attracted considerable attention and excitement runs high throughout the entire length and breadth of Onslow county.
It is said that the colored people in Swansboro claim that some white men had blackened their faces and totally attacked the mail carrier, and to escape the consequences of the crime started a report that Negroes committed the crime. Feeling is said to be intense in the village, and a clash between the races is expected at any time. County officials are taking every precaution to suppress the slightest evidence of violence.
In the public library at Boston, the League of Women for Community Service will give an exhibition of Negro achievements and abolition memorials during October.
OKLAHOMA SHERIFF OUTWITS ANGRY MOB SAVES HIS PRISONER
(Preston News Service)
CLAREMONT, Okla., Aug. 25—Sheriff Ridenor outwitted a mob at the Craig county jail in Vinita last Thursday night and possibly saved Oklahoma from being disgraced with another southern pastime when he and his deputies calmly and coolly escorted Elias Ridge, the alleged murderer of Mrs. George Adair, to safe-keeping here in the Rogers county jail.
According to the report Sheriff Ridenor invited the angry mob to enter the jail and see for themselves that the prisoner was not there. It is said that Ridge was standing behind the door opened to admit the mob. When the searchers had passed into the building, Ridge, with his hat pulled down over his eyes, leisurely walked out of the jail with two deputy sheriffs walking apparently unconcerned near him. About two blocks down the street the three men entered a waiting automobile which whisked them to this city. It is said that Ridge has confessed that he murdered Mrs. Adair.
WHITE CONVICTED CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON A COLORED GIRL
TIFTON, Ga., Aug. 25—Coming as a climax to one of the most sensational court trials in the history of the local courts here, a jury of 12 white men found another white man guilty of criminal assault upon a 14-year-old colored girl. The man was sentenced from two to three years in the penitentiary.
The crime, one of the most revolting in years, was perpetrated by A. P. Cox, a married man and the father of several children. Feeling was tense following the outrage, and for a time it was feared that the man would be lynched.
CHILD FALLS THREE
STORIES AND IS UNHURT
"BELIEVE IT OR NOT"
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 25—Little Theon White, aged 2 years, is said to have fallen from the third floor of a building in Chestnut street to the ground, forty feet below, last Sunday afternoon, and according to physcians who attended him after the fall, he was not injured in any way except that he was "shaken up," which he naturally would be after falling forty feet.
According to the parents of the lad, he was playing near a window on the third floor of his home when he stumbled and fell against the blinds. They gave way, and out the window he tumbled, landing on his shoulder and head on the ground forty feet below. When picked up by his relatives, he was unconscious, but regained consciousness and appeared to be normal in a few hours.
BAPTIST MINISTER
PRAISES GARVEY
(Preston News Service)
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 25—Rev.
J. C. Austin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church here, returned from New York City, where he delivered an address last week at the U. N. I. A. conclave. Dr. Austin said last Sunday; "The psychology of the Garvey movement is not a child's play. Mr. Garvey has the eye and ear of the governments of the world, and we owe it to ourselves and the generations to come to use well this great movement while the world looks on. The interpretation white men and narrow-minded, self-conceited black men have put upon the movement is unjust."
General Franklin A. Dennison, one of the three first members of the Negro race ever to command a regiment in the U. S. Army, has been retired from the Illinois National Guard at his own request, with the rank of Brigadier-general.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS MAKE STRONG PLEA FOR ORGANIZATION OF COLORED WOMEN IN COMING FALL CAMPAIGN
REPUBLICAN LEADERS MAKE STRONG PLEA FOR ORGANIZATION OF COLORED WOMEN IN COMING FALL CAMPAIGN
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—Mrs. Louise M. Dodson, director of organization, Republican Women's National Executive Committee, addressing 1,000 delegates at the convention of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Richmond, Virgiania, Friday night, August 11, emphasized the need of political organization for colored women. In speaking of the value of organization she pointed out how little can be accomplished by individuals and how effective work can only be achieved through organized effort in the churches, the government and even in the homes.
"Through organization," said Mrs. Dodson, "the colored women will be able to educate the individual voters. It has been shown that the enfranchisement of women has raised the intelligence of the individual voter. Through organization the women also hope to lower the per cent of the non-voters. This per cent at the present time is a shame to the country. Figures actually show that less than half the qualified voters take the trouble to vote.
"Most of us resent the political conditions in Europe where by inheritance certain citizens are the governing class, yet we by our own wills in this country, which is the freest in the world, in our failure to vote confess our ability to be governed by others than ourselves. This is one of the problems which the new woman voter will help to solve. If the time were ever to come when all citizens would interest themselves in the government, many of the evils, which are now complained of, would be abolished."
Speaking of Republicans, Mrs. Dodson, said, "I cannot see why women with any knowledge of the history of the two parties could be other than Republican. I hope the women of this convention will not only vote the Republican ticket themselves, but will persuade their friends as well to support the Republican ticket. It seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to talk Republicanism to an audience of colored people because they better than all others, know that the Republican party has given them the opportunity for civil, political and almost physical life itself."
LILLY WHITE WING OF REPUBLICAN PARTY CONTROLS ALABAMA
(Preston News Service)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 25—One of the hottest republican caucases ever witnessed in Montgomery county was held here last Tuesday afternoon. The Lily white wing of the republican party here took complete charge of the newly formed organization. The representation was divided, but the white section outvoted the Negro element on all issues and questions.
If the organization perfected at this meeting is recognized, (and there is every reason to believe it will be), by the state republican convention, the local organization will be completely controlled by the lily whites. According to the report there were seven Negro women in the meeting and they contested bitterly every issue that came before the meeting. These are said to have declared that they are not through with the contest, for they plan to carry their fight to the state convention.

ATTMEPTS TO MAIL A LETTER IN FIRE ALARM BOX IS ARRESTED
(Preston News Service)
AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 25—Considerable excitement was caused here last Wednesday night when John Scott absent-mindedly walked up to a fire alarm box, opened it and deposited a letter. In doing so he pulled the lever and sounded the fire alarm. When Scott saw the fire engine and heard the by-standers shouting to the firemen that he was the man who caused all the excitement, Scott took to his heels, but was overtaken and escorted to the police station. At the hearing the next morning Scott told the magistrate that he was terribly worried over some domestic troubles and was writing to his brother up north for assistance, and was really not thinking what he was doing when he dropped the letter in the fire alarm

VOLSTEAD ACT SAID TO BE DOING GOOD IN THE WINDY CITY
CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 25—In discussing the nation-wide campaign being conducted by the Literary Digest as to public sentiment in reference to public opinion on the Volstead Act, and the wet and dry measure in general, a writer in one of the local dailies has the following to say:
"Let it be written down to the glory of the Volstead law that it has nailed fast the doors of the Ritz-Carlton cafe as it previously nailed fast the doors of the Entertainers cafe of equally malodorous memory. Judge Wilkerson of the United States District Court has ordered that the premises be shut up for one year. There Negroes and whites of both sexes disported nightly all night long in nauseating revels. The manifold indecencies of the place have been brought to an end because bad liquor as well as bad morals was conspicuously present.
"The efficient agents of the Committee of Fifteen, who have been working for many weeks to shut up this place of abominations, find that the useful injunction and abatement law of Illinois is admirably supplemented by the Volstead act, since liquor is a boon companion of lewdness. So the insolent parade of black-and-tan immorality, which takes a weary while to pass a given point when that point is law enforcement, has been dispersed and the Ritz-Cariton is now an evil memory."
box which caused all the excitement. After hearing Scott's story the judge imposed a small fine on Scott for turning in a false alarm, and then told him to make it a point in the future to be sure he was depositing letters, as the fire department and the post office department were two distinct agencies for public service. Be sure which one you want to serve in the future.

Those who talk much provided they have any consciciousness we are the people within whose hearing important subject. It is sure to be in great talkers have fewer genuine less and confine their conversationsant subjects. There is enough to the while. Subjects of discussion are in my book, in the Scriptures, in every city interest has any place in the lives that are worth discussing for the city, the relief of sickness and distress, agriculture, science, medicine a thousand and one other topics the profit. They may not be as easy to talk and scandal, but they are far moreasting friendships. The good that comes after them.

Everybody talks about the weather. Scarcely ever do persons meet without discussing the weather. This subject seems to be a general opener for conversation, and is the first topic after salutation, however important may be the business that is to follow. Those having no business discuss the weather, the hot waves and the cold, the difference in temperature in high and low places, one day and another, noon and midnight. It may be the heat or it may be the cold. It may be the rain, fog, snow or hail, and it may be an electric storm; but it is always the weather. Some, after exhausting the weather topic, talk "hoss," others crops, others fashions, and far too many the neighborhood scandal. In nearly every case it is a case of talk, talk, talk; talk for the sake of talking amplify and embellish the subject, inject untruths into otherwise harmless stories; speculate upon character, generally to smear and destroy, rarely to build up. People are looking for the horror, the skeleton in every closet, and if there is none there the scandal mongers will make one or more for the occasion, and as the story goes the rounds every repetition is decorated with more untruths and incriminating insinuations that are as bad as the lies that are hung upon the story to make it really important in the minds of the mongers. From scandal the conversation turns to the sick and the suffering, and the manner in which that subject is handled is astonishing; but people like to talk. Too many like to feel that they are telling a story of great importance, and to make it more interesting they color it to suit their fancy, frequently doing great injury by their departures from absolute truth. Most people talk too much. Many people talk much and say little. Few people talk little and say much. Those who talk much have much to regret, provided they have any consciencious scruples whatever, and those are the people within whose hearing it is unsafe to discuss any important subject. It is sure to be distorted, and for this reason great talkers have fewer genuine friends than those who talk less and confine their conversation to truth, reason and important subjects. There is enough to talk about that is really worth while. Subjects of discussion are in every newspaper, in every book, in the Scriptures, in every community where community interest has any place in the hearts of the people; subjects that are worth discussing for the betterment of the community, the relief of sickness and distress, mental and moral improvement, agriculture, science, medicine, electricity, mechanics and a thousand and one other topics that can be discussed with profit. They may not be as easy to talk as the community gossip and scandal, but they are far more elevating and productive of lasting friendships. The good that people do in this life lives after them. Kind words are never forgotten. Words of wisdom and truth uttered by those whose hearts are filled with charity and love for their fellowmen spread sunshine everywhere and change the gall of bitterness to grateful sweetness, promoting harmony and the general welfare.

Many men object to buying a house and settling down in one place, on the ground that they may desire later to move to some other town or city. There may be good reasoning in this view of the matter; but, if you are a laboring man with a good job it is better to own your own home than to keep yourself all stirred up and living in doubt from year to year. The man who puts off buying a home because he thinks he may lose his job or get a better one and move away does not enjoy life. He feels all the time that he is but a visitor in the community. On the other hand the man who owns his own home feels that he is a fixture and is liable to remain a unit of the community for many years. If he should lose his job or get the better position he knows he can dispose of his property, often at a profit, and that while he remains in town he has at least had a home that he could call his own, where he could do as he pleased, make such changes as he desires, improve the property as he chooses and paint and paper when such work is needed. Such a home is more of a delight than the rented property, whether it be a mansion or a cottage. It is true that some men's business takes them away from home a great portion of the time, but if they have a home they are better satisfied than to think of breaking up house keeping and moving from place to place at frequent intervals. Some may argue that the working man is more independent if he lives in rented property; that their employer will not feel that he has a hold upon them if they are in a position to move at short notice. This may be true in some cases, but frequently it is the home owner who is given the preference. On the whole there is vastly too much of this moving about. People who are continually on the move accumulate little. They spend all their earning in moving and getting settled. It costs a lot of money to change from place to place, and a few dollars in wages do not make up for the expense of frequent moving, the loss in breakage of furniture and household articles, and the adjustment of new fittings to meet the change in circumstances that arise in every home. Again it is better to remain with an employer as
long as possible. One gets accustomed to his ways of doing work and the workman becomes more valuable the longer he stays. When he quits and goes to another location he is obliged to learn the new methods and his efficiency is lessened until he may acquire a working knowledge of his new surroundings. Usually a man stands a better chance of promotion if he stands still, where he knows his employer and the business he is doing. House owning is productive of genuine happiness. Renting is far from satisfactory. By all means buy a home and become a part of the community in which you live. You will be happier. Your family will enjoy life better, and in case you are obliged to go away you will have the satisfaction of having had a good home, and the chances are very much in favor of your realizing a profit upon your investment. Men are coming to realize this fact more and more and are buying homes, even if they do not expect to remain but a few years in a place.

Tuesday morning, August 22, Earle Alfred Johnson of 805 South Fifth avenue, passed away, following a brief illness. He became ill Saturday, August 19, and was attended by Dr. W. C. Hackett, who also was called to attend him on Sunday and Monday. All that medical aid could accomplish was done to save him, but he gradually grew worse and early Tuesday morning, breathed his last. Earle was one of the four boys to graduate from the Phoenixx Union High school last May and was preparing to enter Howard University of Washington, D. C., this fall. He has lived in Phoenixx many years and was well known and very popular among members of the younger set. He was a member of the A. M. E. Sunday school and Christian Endeavor and was a promising young man. His death comes as a distinct loss to the community and a beautiful career is ended. He leaves the mother, Mrs. John Brown, and stepfather, Mr. John Brown, and a host of friends to mourn his passing. Funeral services for the deceased will be held Sunday, August 27, at the A. M. E. church. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved parents in this their sad hour.

The CROSS CUT
(Continued from last issue)
Here was an assay slip, bearing figures and notations which Robert Fairchild could not understand, then a legal document, sealed and stamped, and bearing the words:
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That on this day of our Lord, February 22, 1892, Thornton W, Fairchild, having presented the necessary affidavits and statements of assessments accomplished in accordance with—
On it trailed in endless legal phraseology, telling in muddled, attorney-like language, the fact that the law had been fulfilled in its requirements, and that the claim for which Thornton Fairchild had worked was rightfully his, forever. Fairchild reached for the age-yellowed envelope to return the papers to their resting place. But he checked his motion involuntarily and for a moment held the envelope before him, staring at it with wide eyes. Then, as though to free by the stronger light of the window the haunting thing which faced him, he rose and hurried across the room, to better light, only to find it had not been imagination; the words still were before him, a sentence written in faint, faded ink proclaiming the contents to be "Papers Relating to the Blue Poppy Mine," and written across this a word in the bolder, harsher strokes of a man under stress of emotion, a word which held the eyes of Robert Fairchild fixed and staring, a word which spelled books of the past and evil threats of the future, the single, omnious word:
"ACCURSED!"
In spite of all that omens could foretell, in spite of the dull, gloomy life which had done its best to fashion a matter-of-fact brain for Robert Fairchild, one sentence in that letter had found an echo, had started a pulsating something within him that he never before had known:
"It is the blood of an adventurer." And it seemed that Robert Fairchild needed no more than the knowledge to feel the tingle of it; the old house suddenly became stuffy and prisonlike as he wandered through it. Again and again pounded through his head the fact that only a night of travel intervened between Indianapolis and St. Louis; within twelve hours he could be in the office of Henry Beamish. And then—
A hurried resolution. A hasty packing of a traveling bag and the cashing of a check at the cigar store down on the corner. A wakeful night while the train clattered along upon its journey. At last:
"Im Robert Fairchild," he said, as he faced a white-haired, Cupid-faced man in the rather dingy offices in the Princess building. A slow smile spread over the pudgy features of the genial-appearing attorney, and he waved a fat hand toward the office's extra chair.
"Sit down, Son," came casually. "Needn't have announced yourself, I'd have known you—just like your father, Boy. How is he?" Then his face suddenly sobered. "I'm afraid your presence is the answer. Am I right?"
Fairchild nodded gravely. The old attorney stared out of the window to the grimy roof and signboards of the next building.
"Perhaps it's better so," he said at last. "Did he get any cheerier before—he went?"
"No. Afraid of every step on the veranda, of every knock at the door." Again the attorney stared out of the window.
"And you? Are you afraid?"
"Of course."
"I don't know. Only—" and he leaned forward—"it's just as though I were living my younger days over again this morning. It doesn't seem any time at all since your father was sitting just about where you are now, and gad, Boy, how much you look like he looked that morning! The same gray-blue eyes, the same dark hair, the same strong shoulders, and good, manly chin, the same build—and look of determination about him. The call of adventure was in his blood, and he sat there all enthusiastic, telling me what he intended doing and asking my advice—although he wouldn't have followed it if I had given it. Back home was a baby and the woman he loved, and out West was sudden wealth, waiting for the right man to come along and find it. Gad!" White-haired old Beamish chuckled with the memory of it. "Then four years later," the tone changed suddenly, "he came back."
"What then?" Fairchild was on the edge of his chair. But Beamish only spread his hands.
"Truthfully, Boy, I don't know. I have guessed—but I won't tell you what. All I know is that your father found what he was looking for and was on the point of achieving his every dream, when something happened. Then three men simply disappeared from the mining camp, announcing that they had failed and were going to hunt new diggings. That was all. One of them was your father—"
"But you said that he'd found—"
"Silver, running twenty ounces to the ton on an eight-inch vein which gave evidences of being only the beginning of a bonanza! I know, because he had written me that, a month before."
"He'd forgotten what he had written when I saw him again. I didn't question him. He went home then, after giving me enough money to pay the taxes on the mine for the next twenty years, simply as his attorney
County of Clear Creek,
CHAPTER II.
The lawyer smiled.
"And he abandoned it?"
and without divulging his whereabouts. I did it. Eight years or so later I saw him in Indianapolis. He gave me more money—enough for eleven or twelve years—"
"And that was ten years ago?" Robert Fairchild's eyes were reminiscent. "I remember—I was only a kid. He sold off everything he had, except the house."
Henry Beamish walked to his safe and fumbled there a moment, to return at last with a few slips of paper. "Here's the answer," he said quietly. "the taxes are paid until 1922."
Robert Falrchild studied the receipts carefully—futilely. They told him nothing. The lawyer stood looking down upon him; at last he laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Boy," came quickly, "I know just about what you're thinking. I've spent a few hours at the same kind of a job myself, and I've called old Henry Beamish more kinds of a fool than you can think of for not coming right out flat-footed and making Thornton tell me the whole story. But some way when I'd look into those eyes with the fire all dead and ashen within them, and see the lines of an old man in his young face, I just couldn't do it!"
"So you can tell me nothing?"
"I'm afraid that's true—in one way. In another I'm a fund of information. Tonight you and I will go to Indianapolis and probate the will—it's simple enough; I've had it in my safe for ten years. After that, you become the owner of the Blue Poppy mine, to do with as you choose."
"But—"
"Don't ask my advice, Boy. I haven't any. Your father told me what to do if you decided to try your luck—and silver's at $1.29. It means a lot of money for anybody who can produce pay ore—unless what he said about the mine pinching out was true."
Again the thrill of a new thing went through Robert Fairchild's veins, something he never had felt until twelve hours before; again the urge for strange places, new scenes, the fire of the hunt after the hidden wealth of silver-seamed hills. Robert Fairchild's life had been a plodding thing of books and accounts, of high desks which as yet had failed to stoop his shoulders, of stuffy offices which had been thwarted so far in their grip at his lung power; the long walk in the morning and the tired trudge homeward at night. But the recold had not exerted itself against an office-cramped brain, a dusty ledger-filled life that suddenly felt itself crying out for the free, open country, without hardly knowing what the term meant. Old Beamish caught the light in the eyes, the quick contraction of the hands, and smiled.
"You don't need to tell me, Son," he said slowly. "I can see the symptoms. You've got the fever—you're going back to work that mine. Perhaps," and he shrugged his shoulders, "it's just as well. But there are certain things to remember."
"Name them."
"Ohadi is thirty-eight miles from Denver. That's your goal. Out there, they'll tell you how the mine caved in, and how Thornton Fairchild, who had worked it, together with his two men, Harry Harkins, a Cornishman, and 'Sissle' Larsen, Swede, left town late one night for Cripple Creek—and that they never came back. That's the story they'll tell you. Agree with it. Tell them that Harkins, as far as you know, went back to Cornwall, and that you have heard vaguely that Larsen later followed the mining game farther out west."
"How do I know? It's good enough—people shouldn't ask questions. Tell nothing more than that—and be careful of your friends. There is one man to watch—if he is still alive. They call him 'Squint' Rodaine, and
VAN NICE
"They Call Him 'Squint' Rodaine."
he may or may not still be there. I don't know—I'm only sure of the fact that your father hated him, fought him and feared him. The mine tunnel is two miles up Kentucky gulch and one hundred yards to the right. A surveyor can lead you to the very spot. It's been abandoned now for thirty years. What you'll find there is more than I can guess. But, Boy," and his hand clenched tight on Robert Falchild's shoulder, "whatever you do, whatever you run into, whatever friends or enemies you find awaiting you, don't let that light die out of your eyes and don't pull in that chin! If you find a fight on your hands, whether it's man, beast or nature, sell into it! If you run into things that
cut your very heart out to learn—beat 'em down and keep going! And win! There—that's all the advice I know. Meet me at the 11:10 train for Indianapolis. Goodbyy."
"Goodbyy—I'll be there." Fairchild grasped the pudgy hand and left the office. For a moment afterward, old Henry Beamish stood thinking and looking out over the dingy roof adi-cent. Then, somewhat absently, he pressed the ancient electric button for his more ancient stenographer.
"Call a messenger, please," he ordered when she entered, "I want to send a cablegraph."
Three weeks later, Robert Fairchild sat in the smoking compartment of the Overland Limited, looking at the Rocky mountains in the distance. In his pocket were a few hundred dollars; in the bank in Indianapolis a few thousand, representing the final proceeds of the sale of everything that had connected him with a rather dreary past. Out before him—
Three weeks had created a metamorphosis in what had been a plodding, matter-of-fact man with dreams which did not extend beyond his ledgers and his gloomy home—but now a man leaning his head against the window of a rushing train, staring ahead toward the Rockies and the rainbow they held for him. Back to the place where his father had gone with dreams aglow was the son traveling now—back into the rumped mountains where the blue haze hung low and protecting as though over mysteries and treasures which awaited one man and one alone. It thrilled Fairchild, it caused his heart to tug and pull—nor could be tell exactly why.
The hills came closer. Still closer; then, when it seemed that the train must plunge straight into them, they drew away again, as though through some optical illusion, and brooded in the background, as the long, transcontinental train began to bang over the frogs and switches as it made its entrance into Denver. Fairchild went through the long chute and to a ticket window.
"When can I get a train for Ohadi?" The ticket seller smiled. "You can't get one."
"But the map shows that a railroad runs there—"
"Ran there, you mean," chaffed the clerk. "The best you can do is to get to Forks Creek and walk the rest of the way. That's a narrow-gauge line, and Clear Creek's been on a rampage. It took out about two hundred feet of trestle, and there won't be a train into Ohadi for a week. Stranger out here?"
"In a hurry to get to Ohiadi?"
"Yes."
"Then you can go uptown and hire a taxi—they've got big cars for mountain work and there are good roads all the way. It'll cost fifteen or twenty dollars. Or—"
Fairchild smiled. "Give me the other system if you've got one. I'm not terribly long on cash—for taxis."
"Certainly. No use spending that money if you've got a little pep, and it isn't a matter of life or death. Go up to the Central loop—anybody can direct you—and catch a street car for Golden. That eats up fifteen miles and leaves just twenty-three miles more. Then ask somebody to point out the road over Mount Lookout. Machines go along there every few minutes—no trouble at all to catch a ride. You'll be in Ohiadi in no time."
Fairchild obeyed the instructions, and in the baggage room rechecked his trunk to follow him, lightening his traveling bag at the same time until it carried only necessities. A luncheon, then the street car. Three quarters of an hour later, he began the five-mile trudge up the broad, smooth, carefully groomed automobile highway which masters Mount Lookout. A rumbling sound behind him, then he stepped to one side, a grimy truck driver leaned out to shout as he passed:
"Want a lift? Hop on! Can't stop—too much grade."
A running leap, and Fairchild seated himself on the tailboard of the truck, swinging his legs and looking out over the fading plains as the truck roared and clattered upward along the twisting mountain road.
Upward, still upward! The town below became merely a checkerboard thing, the lake a dot of gleaming silver, the stream a scintillating ribbon stretching off into the foothills. A turn, and they skirted a tremendous valley, its slopes falling away in sheer descents from the roadway. A darkened, moist stretch of road, fringed by pines, then a jogging journey over rolling tableland. At last came a voice from the driver's seat.
"Turn off up here at Genesee mountain. Which way do you go?"
"Trying to get to Ohad!" Fairchild shouted it above the roar of the engine. The driver waved a hand forward.
"Keep to the main road. Drop off when I make the turn."
"Thanks for the lift."
"Aw, forget it."
The truck wheeled from the main road and chugged away, leaving Fairchild afoot, making as much progress as possible toward his goal until good fortune should bring a swiffer means of locomotion. Suddenly he wheeled. Behind him sounded the swift droning of a motor, cut-out open, as it rushed forward along the road—and the noise told a story of speed.
Far at the brow of a steep hill it appeared, seeming to hang in space for an instant before leaping downward. Rushing, plunging, once skidding dangerously at a small curve, it made the descent, bumped over a bridge, was lost for a second in the pines, then sped toward him, a big

"Very much of one."
touring car, with a small, resolute figure clinging to the wheel. Then, with a report like a revolver shot, the machine suddenly slewed in drunken fashion far to one side of the road. hung dangerously over the steep cliff an instant, righted itself, swayed forward and stopped, barely twenty-five yards away. Staring, Robert Fairchild saw that a small, trim figure had leaped forth and was waving excitedly to him, and he ran forward.
His first glance had proclaimed it a boy; the second had told a different story. A girl—dressed in far different fashion from Robert Fairchild's limited specifications of feminine garb—she caused him to gasp in surprise, then to stop and stare. Again she waved a hand and stamped a foot excitedly; a vehement little thing in a sung whipcord riding habit and a checkered cap pulled tight over closely braided hair, she awaited him with all the impatience of impetuous womanhood.
"For goodness' sake, come here!" she called, as he still stood gaping. "Till give you five dollars. Hurry!" Fairchild managed to voice the fact that he would be willing to help without remuneration, as he hurried forward. She dived for the toenail, jerking with all her strength at the heavy seat cushion, as he stepped to the running board beside her.
"Can't get this dinned thing up!" she panted. "Always sticks when you're in a burry. That's it! Jock it. Thanks! Here!" She reached forward and a small, sun-tanned hand grasped a greasy jack. "Slide under the back axle and put this jack in place, will you? And rush it! I've got to change a tire in nothing that! Burry!"
Fairchild, almost before he knew it, found himself under the rear of the car, fussing with a refractory lifting jack and trying to keep his eyes from the view of trinity clad, brown-shed little feet, as they pattered about at the side of the car, hurried to the running board, then stopped as wrenches and a hammer clattered to the ground. Then one shoe was raised, to press tight against a wheel; metal touched metal, a feminine gasp sounded as strength was exerted in vain, then eddying dust as the foot stamped, accompanied by an exasperated ejaculation.
"Ding these old lugs! They're rusted! Got that jack in place yet?"
"Oh, please hurry." There was pleading in the tone now. "Please!"
The car creaked upward. Out came Falrechild, brushing the dust from his clothes. But already the girl was pressing the lug wrench into his hands.
"Don't mind that dirt," came her exclamation. "Till—I'll give you some extra money to get your suit cleaned. Loosen those lugs, while I get the spare tire off the back. And for goodness' sake, please hurry!"
Astonishment had taken away speech for Falrechild. He could only wonder—and obey, while behind him a girl in whipcord riding habit and close-pulled cap fitted first on one tan-clad foot, then on the other, anxiously watching the road behind her and calling constantly for speed.
At last the job was finished, the girl fastening the useless shoe behind the machine while Fairelid tightened the last of the lungs. Then as he straightened, a small figure shot to his side, took the wrench from his hand and sent it, with the other tools, clattering into the tonneau. A tiny hand went into a pocket something that crinkled was showed into the man's

grasp, and while he stood there gasping, she leaped to the driver's seat, slammed the door, spun the starter until it whined, and with open cut out roaring again, was off and away rocking down the mountain side around a curve and out of sight—while Fairchild merely stood there staring wonderingly at a ten-dollar bill!
A noise from the rear, growing louder, and the amazed man turned to see a second machine, filled with men, careening toward him. Fifty feet away the brakes creaked, and the big automobile came to a skidding, dust-throwing stop. A sun-browned man in a Stetson hat, metal badge gleaming from beneath his coat leaned forth.
"Which way did he go?"
Hey, Robert Fairchild stared.
"Yeb. Didn't a man just pass here
in an automobile? Where'd he go-
straight on the main road or off on
the circuit trail?"

"The Negro in Our History."
By Carter G. Woodson. Published
by The Associated Publishers Inc.,
Washington, D. C. Price $2.15 post-
paid.
The publication of this book closes upon Benjamin Brawley's Social History of the Negro leads one instinctively to compare the two. Both are by eminent scholars and both cover the same period—the Negro's history from his passage to America in the slave ship to 1920. Each, however, attacks the subject in a different manner. Mr. Brawley writes for the student who loves to handle a heavy volume bearing the MacMillan stamp, while Mr. Woodson gives us a concise textbook that has already been adapted in many schools. His book is shorter more condensed than Mr. Brawley's the emphasis sometimes placed differently. Moreover, it is profusely illustrated. It has 126 pictures and maps, youthful pictures of reformers like Beecher and Douglas, (how good it is to see that these men were great when they were young), pictures of inventions by Negroes, strange, old fashioned prints of slave days. One can scarcely open anywhere without seeing something of interest.
There is one among the many points that the author brings out that is of especial importance when we consider the labor problem that confronts us today. Better than anyone before him, Mr. Woodson shows us how slavery went on from bad to worse. We are fed on a false so-called evolutionary doctrine that the world moves gradually but steadily toward improvement. But in the great labor problem of the United States before 1863 the country moved steadily toward degradation. "There was in America during the eighteenth century," our author says, "a sort of slavery differing material-

ly from that of the nineteenth. In fact, the Negroes were about as well provided with schools as the whites in some of the colonies." Again: "Up to the closing years of the American Revolution never had there been such opportunities for developing their power to function as citizens." Then came the invention of the cotton gin, and slavery from being a patriarchal establishment became a business of exploiting men. The slaves were denied all education, colonization was promoted to get rid of ambitious free blacks, and a brisk domestic slave trade made any real family life wellnigh impossible. And then, out of the greed of the slave-owner and the man who traded him came the Civil War.
The catastrophe of the Civil War and the Negro's part in it is admirably treated in this book. The reconstruction period is told from its political and economic sides, and we have short accounts, with their photographs, of prominent Negro congressmen—Bruce, Elliott, Walls, DeLarge and Cain. The author shows the helplessness of the Negro in the South after the withdrawal of federal troops in 1876, and the murderous activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Then came an exodus to the West similar to the recent exodus to the North. Then as now the southern employer of labor tried to stop the movement, did all he could to make transit facilities impossible, and threatened those who tried to leave. Then as now the best elements of the two races got together and talked and made promises, and when the exodus stopped forgot what had been promised.
Booker Washington and his movement is carefully described and much emphasis is laid on the progress of the Negro today. Yet throughout the book one continually feels the scholar who wishes to give facts not merely to sing the praises of his race.
We are glad to have this volume and hope that it will be used as a text-book in both colored and white schools. We shall all find it invaluable as a work of reference.

PRESCOTT
By Mrs. L. V. Hines
Mr. John Garner is no better. He has been ill for several months, and has suffered untold agony. Last week he did not spend the hours as usual on the porch. It is the earliest hope and prayers of his many friends that he have a speedy recovery.
Mr. Drake, one of the heads of the Prescott, Santa Fe and Phoenix division, is dead. Mr. Drake had a host of colored friends and was gentle, kind and good to the many employers of our people. It is with deepest regret that we note the same, and the many friends of Mrs. Drake, both white and colored, share in her bereavement.
Mr. Hines, one of the patients at Fort Whipple, who left here several months ago and entered the public service hospital at Tucson, passed away, following a continued illness. Mr. Hines was loved by all of the doctors, nurses and comrades at the Fort, and had a host of friends out in town. He was very popular among the leading people of the city, and was loved by all. It is with deep regret that we learned of his death, and his many friends are bereaved to know of his early passing.
Mrs. Forrestburg, one of the staunch friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hines, passed away at the winter home in Phoenix recently. Mrs. Forrestburg is a native of Canada, and made many friends here among her acquaintances. Her husband was a patient at Fort Whipple, and was transferred to Phoenix for vocational training. Mrs. Forrestburg had an attack of pneumonia and fought hard to overcome, but the end has come. The many comrades of Mr. Forrestburg share his deep bereavement, leaving him and one sister as relatives in the world.
Mrs. L. A. McCarty is still very sick at times, but is very courageous. When the lease bit improved, she gets up and takes rides. All of the folks in Prescott are very sorry for her continued illness, and hope that she will be cured and have perfect health. She is much better than she was last week.
