Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET Mr. Isaiah Mitchell, St., of Denver Colorado, Speaks. Washington, D. C., May 21, 1910. Editor of The Richmond PLANET: Dear Sir: I received a note explanatory why the important letter in behalf of our human and political rights was published, and a copy of The PLANET of the 14th inst. issue. Let me assure you I am too old now to want my name to appear in public print for show. I know two young men who left Richmond, Va., in 1868, they meet in this city, and they left here for the West to meet either upon the floor of the House of Representatives representing a constituency as U. S. members of Congress. The most brilliant of the two had his ambition curved in lieu for a local office by his own people. He returned to his profession as a first class cook. I understand he still follows that profession, in the great state of Colorado. The latter located in Denver, Colorado. He succeeded in having one of his race appointed the first colored deputy sheriff. He was offered an empty hand for the Legislature, when it was impossible for any colored man to be elected. The Republican Party held two conventions, had two sets of candidates. He was made second representative of his race in 1884, when he was appointed Honorary Alternate Commissioner to the worlds' industrial Cotton Exposition, at New Orleans, La., for Colorado. He was editor and owner of the Denver Argus, which he published from 1886 until November, 1888, when he suspended, became steward of the State Republican Club, the first colored man to attain that humble distinction supplanting a white man. After a long illness, he proved up a homestead and got title to it, disposed of it, and is back where he started from in 1882. I have never lost interest in the results of the Civil War in which he served for the freedom and citizenship of his race. The brilliant young man was M. M. Patterson, of Richmond, Va., and the latter of the same city. Your white Y. M. C. A. treatment of the Jews was no worse than the Denver Y. M. C. A. treatment of colored young men, whose associations subscribed for its building and after room for them as members, but these colored citizens were their equals at the ballot box like the Jews of Richmond, Va. But, are our colored folks the political equals of the whites at the ballot box in Richmond? If not so, why not? It is your duty as a maker of just influence and God will be with you if you are sincere. Arouse you or, our people to their duty and opportunity to petition Congress to bring these southern constitutions to the U. S. Supreme Court by resolutions. Respectfully, ISAIAH MITCHELL, SR., Denver, Colorado. Head Walter R. N. Smith Honored. A Loving Cup. Virginia Hot Springs, June 2.—R. N. Smith, for many years head walter at the Homestead Hotel, was presented with a handsome silver loving cup last Friday evening by A. C. Burrell, of Scottsville, representing the faithful quad of watters who subscribed for the cup. "Smith," as he is known to hundreds of prominent people who have come here year after year, is one of the most prominent men of his race in the State, and is well known for his benefactions, and work in behalf of his people. John D. Rockefeller and many others have not only shown a substantial interest in his work by giving him donations for the church which "Smith" has founded and helps to maintain here for employees, but have frequently paid him the compliment of attending divine services in the Smith Chapel. Mrs. Walker Fearn, widow of the former minister to Greece and Roumania, and a personal representative of Queen Elizabeth in the work for the blind in this country, has found an able ally in him in her work for the colored blind and Mrs. Fearn has lectured in the Smith Chapel and with "Smith has headed a subscription list for the colored blind of the State. The cup is lined with gold, and is inscribed with the names of the donors. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT White-Turner. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Turner announce the marriage of their daughter, Fannie Murray, to Mr. Chitman Milton White, Wednesday, June 22, 1910, at 10:30 o'clock A. M. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church.

"Dick" Carter Gone The funeral of Richard Carter, one of the best known colored men in the city, took place last Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the First Baptist Church. The funeral of Mrs. Willianna Page took place there at 3 P. M. and the services were no sooner over than the other funeral cortege followed. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the pastor officiated. The hymn, "Why Do We Mourn Departed Friends?" was lined by Rev. W. H. Stokes, Ph.D. The scriptures were read by Rev. D. W. Davis, D. D. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D. Many distinguished white citizens were present. "Dick" Carter as he was generally known, was cook for the Howitzers during the late Civil War, and he was a general favorite with them. He was a genuine ante-bellum colored man and he knew how to win and retain the respect of the southern white men. Rev. W. T. Johnson the able pastor, delivered a scholarly discourse from I Thessalonians, 4th chapter and the 13th and 14th verses. He concluded his remarks with the singing by the congregation of Richard Carter's favorite hymn. "I am travelling, travelling home." The singing of "Abide With Me" by Mrs. Mildred A. Cross was a feature. Funeral Director A. D. Price officiated. The floral designs were so numerous that a floral wagon was in the procession. Thus ended the career of "Dick" Carter, who for sixty years had been a member of the First Baptist Church of this city. Westwood Public School, No. 7. Tuckahoe District, Rio Vista P.

Crum of Charleston, S. C., to be Minister to Liberia. The nomination by President Roosevelt of Dr. Crum, who is a negro, to be Collector of the Port at Charleston attracted national attention, because of the opposition of Senator Tillman and Charleston people. Mr. Roosevelt refused to take notice of this opposition and on three occasions he sent the nomination of the colored man to the Senate. Senator Tillman was successful in holding up the nomination for two years before it was confirmed. Dr. Crum's term or office expired soon after Mr. Taft entered the White House and he greatly pleased the people of Charleston by naming a white man to succeed him at Charleston. At the time it was said that Mr. Taft would recognize Dr. Crum at a later date. FLAT REFUSAL Taft Will Not Remove Colored Sol diers from Scotle. Washington, D. C., June 8.—The President has flatly refused to accede to a demand from the citizens of Seattle, Washington, transmitted through Senator Jones for the removal of the Twenty-fifth infantry (colored), because a soldier is accused of assaulting a white woman. Extra Force on Duty. Seattle, Wash., June 8.—When Mayor Hiram C. Gill learned today of President Taft's refusal to remove the negro soldiers from Fort Lawton, he ordered six emergency policemen placed in the Fort Lawton district. The City Council will be asked to authorize the addition of these policemen to the permanent force. The Mayor also ordered the closing of resorts and saloons near the fort. The police today closed the most notorious of these places. Private Nathaniel Bledser made a confession to the police day, after he was turned over to the civil authorities. He said he was drunk when he entered Mrs. Redding's house and attacked her. He begged to be permitted to plead guilty and be sentenced. Evidence of nine other alleged offenses against, women will be collected and sent to Washington by a committee of interbay citizens.

Chicago, June 7.—The first large wager in Chicago on the coming Jeffries and Johnson prize fight was made today, between Andy Craig and Edward Dickinson.

His skull fractured by a rock thrown with unerring accuracy and fearful strength, Edward Tease., colored, lies at the point of death in the City Hospital, and Clarence Booker, the assailant, is locked up in the Second Police Station on a charge of attempted murder. The assault occurred early yesterday morning, but it was some hours afterwards before the police were notified by the City hospital authorities and Detective-Sergeant Wiley and Bicycle Policeman Krengle immediately went upon a still hunt for the would-be murderer. Booker was surprised in an alley near the corner of Harrison and Leigh Streets, where the assault occurred, and, immediately on seeing the approaching officers, he broke cover and ran. He led them a chase over hill and dale by Hartshorn College and as far as Barton Heights, where they lost his track, never having once got within shooting range. In the excitement the two officers became separated. Sergeant Wiley, having lost his comrade, took a car back from Barton Heights, and Policeman Krengle doubled back on his tracks. CORNERED IN GULLY. Within a short distance of the city the latter officer noticed heavy tracks leading down into a gully, the same tracks he had followed, and he felt at once that his quarry was within call. He crawled down into the deep ditch, and there, hidden under a pile of brushwood, was Booker. He came out at the beckoning of a pistol barrel, and was walked to the Second Station. All that Booker will say is that he and Tease had a fight, and that he settled the difficulty with a rock. Meanwhile Tease is unconscious. He is kept in a sitting posture, and his head is held in place by a negro nurse to prevent him from rolling over and dying immediately. He is not expected to recover. The corner at Harrison and Leigh is one of the worst sections in the city. Many crimes have been committed at this place, and it was there that Bicycle Policeman Belton was struck by a rock several nights ago. Eight negroes were rounded up the following night, and all were fined in the Police Court the next morning.—Times-Dispatch, June 6, 1910. Richmond Independent Wins It was apparent from the time Manager Stephens and his bunch of warriors crossed the noble James and invaded Washington Ward with blood in their eyes, that they were out for sweet revenge, having been whipped by the Athletics in their previous game. Not since the annexation has there been a rejoicing equal to that displayed by the fans and fannies last Monday. From the words "Play Ball" it could be easily seen that the locals had rounded up in great shape and were prepared to pull off the game of their lives. Stunt after stunt was copped time and again by both teams that characterizes a finished ball team. Manager Stephen was there with the tip when he called on Hayes, the star box artist who was there with the determination, benders, control and speed of Halley's Comet. With these four qualities combined certain defeat was indelibly stamped on the forehead of each Athletic. Patterson was on the firing line for the Athletics but was unable to break the hoodoo. It was rumored later that this strong-armed pitcher was infested with symptoms of the dreaded disease, Hookworm, when he allowed ten swabs that netted four runs. Good-natured Manager Threats was on the side lines with the big noise and tried every available means to put the ginger in his men but the effect wasn't forthcoming. After the dust cleared away and the bleacherites began to sing the old familiar song, "Go way back and sit down," read for yourself, only five pitiful bingles. But "soft-pedal," wait until June 13th at Broad Street Park where we expect to settle the tie, then you will see old Colefeeto, Bonehead Barry and Nervo the Monk in all of their glory. Read the placards for these series, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Independent-1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 x—4 Athletics —0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0—3 bob. Mr. G. L. Gray, of Donora, Pa., was in the city this week.

Broad St., Richmond, Va. God Reigns. God moves mysteriously, always with His church; but presence not always understood by the masses. Such has been the surrounding circumstance of Fifth Street Baptist Church. At times in the midst of billows, so to speak, tossed with argumental waves seemingly contrary; but Jesus was present in the church observing all things. Finally Jesus spoke and said to the billows. "Pace and be Thou Billows Still." Then was a calm which still remains, and the members knowing all things work together for good to them that love the Lord are saying, as it were, of a truth these things were to prove us: God reigns night as well as day. On last Sunday, Rev. Dr. Evans Payne, better known as the Bishop of Churchhill, Pastor of Fourth Baptist Church, at 11:30 A. M. preached the historical sermon of Fifth Street Baptist Church. Text, Matt. 4:11. After outlining the history of the church and gluing the names of their pastors. He said among other things that he Evans Payne, had the honor of having the first call to the pastorate of said Fifth Street Baptist Church; but which he declined to accept because of the fact he had accepted the call to the Fourth Baptist Church where he is now pastor; but it gave him pleasure to suspend his own anniversary services for the present to unite with us as he too has been in the ministry thirty years along with Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and his church. He preached an excellent sermon which was highly complimented by the church. Rev. Dr. Evans Payne is one of the few men who have reached the highest ministerial mark by individual exertion; always pressing forward. He has become an honor to his race and people. At 8:30 o'clock, the well-known pulpit orator, scholar and preacher, in the person of Rev. Dr. Z. D. Lewis, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, preached an excellent sermon. Subject, "Christ Presense With His Church." The Rev. Dr. Lewis, oratorically captivated the large congregation and spiritually filled them with a mine of new thoughts and inspiring contents. He is a teacher and preacher with extraordinary ability and a blessing to his calling. (The Sunday School opened at 10 o'clock Sunday morning by Prof. B. H. Peyton, Supt.

At the Table Next: McKnight and Hotchkiss were sauntering slowly down the road as I caught up with them. As usual, the little man was busy with some abstruse mental problem "The idea is this, he is was saying, his brows knitted in thought. If a left-banded man, standing in the position of the man in the picture, should jump from a car, would he be able to摘抓 his right hand with a right hand, prepare for a leap of that kind, my theory is that he would hold on with his right hand, and alight at the proper time, on his right foot Of course—" "I imagine, although I don't know," interrupted McKnight "that a man either ambidextrous or one armed, jumping from the Washington Filer, would be more likely to land on his head." "Anyhow," I interposed "what difference does it make whether Sullivan used one hand or the other"One pair of handeuffs will put both hands out as usual when one of his pet theories was attacked. Hotchkiss looked aggrieved. "My dear sir," he expostulated, "don't you understand what bearing this has on the case? How was the murdered man lying when he was found? "On his back," I said promptly, "head toward the engine. "Very well," he retorted, "and what then? Your heart lies under your fifth intercourse space, and to reach it a right-handed blow would have struck either down or directly in "But, gentlemen, the point of entrance for the atticio was below the heart, striking up' As Harrington lay with his head toward the engine, a person in the alley must have used the knife. "In Knight's eyes sought mine and he winked at me solemnly as I unnotentiously transferred the hat I was carrying to my right hand. Long training has largely counterbalanced heredity in my case, but I still pitch ball, play tennis and carry with my left hand But Hotglakk was too busy with his theories to notice me. We were only just in time for our train back to Baltimore, but McKnight took advantage of a second's delay to shake the station agent warmly by the hand. We want to express my admiration for you and beloomingly "Ability of your order is thrown away here. You should be a city policeman, my friend." The agent looked a trifle uncertain. "The young lady was the one who told me to keep still," he said. McKnight glanced at me, gave the agent's hand a final shake, and climbed on board. But I knew perfectly that he had guessed the reason for my delay. He was very silent on the way home. Hutchison, too, had little to say. He was reading over his notes instantly, stopping now and then to make a penciled addition. Just before we left the train, Richie turned to me. "I suppose it was the key to the door that she tied to the gate? "Probably. I did not ask her." "Curious, her locking that fellow in," he reflected. "You may depend on it, there was a good reason for it all. And I wish you wouldn't be so suspicious of motives, Rich." I said warmly. "Maybe they are the suspicious one," retested, and we lapsed into strained silence. It was late when we got to Washington. One of Mrs Klopton's small tyrannies was exacting punctuality at meals, and like several other things. I respected it. There are always some concessions that should be made in return for faithful service. So, as my dinner hour of seven was long past McKnight and I went to little restaurant downtown where they little chicken a its King. Hotchkiss had departed, economically bent, for a small hotel where he lived on the American plan. I want to think some things over' he said in response to my invitation to dinner and anyhow there is no use dining out when I pay the same dinner or no dinner where I am stopping". The day had been hot, and the first floor dining room was sultry in spite of the pains and fann who attempted verdure and breezes of the country. It was crowded, too with a typical summer night crowd and after sitting for a few minutes in a swimmer corner we got up and we to the smaller dining room upating. Here it was not so warm, and we settled ourselves comfortably by a window. Over in a corner half a dozen boys on their way back to school were raging a perspiring wafer a proceeding so exactly to Meknight's taste that they were soaked them. But their table was full and somehow that kind of fun had lost its point for me. Not far fromm a very stout mid-diagged man, apachec with the heat was elektrically hot for the benefit of a bead-loving girl across the table from him and at the next table a newspaper woman alone the last edition trotted against the water bottle before her hat for the table. The table it was a muffin's invention crowd. I looked over the room causally, while McKnight ordered the meal. Then my attention was attracted to the table, where the women were sitting there so deep in conversation that they did not notice us. The woman's face was hidden under her hat, as she traced the pattern of the cloth mechanically with her fork. But the man's features stood out clear in the light of the candles on the table. It was Bronson. He shows the strait, doesn't he? McKnight said, holding up the wine as if he read from it "Who's the woman?" "Search me." I replied, in the same way When the chicken came, I still found myself gazing now and then at the abstracted couple near me. Evidently the subject of conversation was unpleasant. Bronson was eating little, the woman not at all. Finally he got up, pushed his chair back noisily, thrust a bill at the waiter and stalked out. The woman sat still for a moment, then, with an apparent resolution to make the boat of it, she began slowly to eat the meal before her. But the quarrel had taken away her appetite, for the mixture in our chafing dish was hardly ready to "I Bag Your Pardon, Bir; the Lady in Black, Bir, Would Like to Speak to You." serve before she pushed her chair back a little and looked around the room. I caught my first glimpse of her face then, and I confess it started me. It was the tail, antly woman of the Ontario, the woman I had last seen cowering beside the road, rolling pelbies in her hand, blood streaming from a cut over her eye. I could see the scar now, a little affair, about an inch long, gleaming red through its layers of powder. And then, quite unexpectedly, she turned and looked directly at me. After a minute's uncertainly, she bowed, letting her eyes rest on mine with a calmly insolent stare. She glanced at McKnight for a moment, then back to me. When she looked away again I breathed easier. "Who is it?" asked McKnight under his breath. "Ontario." I formed it with my lips rattle but than said it. McKnight's expression up and be looked with included interest at the black-gowned Late little after that. The situation was father bad for me, I began to see. Here was a woman who asked if she wished, and had any motive for doing, put me in jail under a capital charge. A word from her to the police, and police surveillance would become active interference. Then, too, she could say that she had seen me, just after the wreck with a young woman from the murdered man's car, and thus probably bring Alison West into the case. It is not surprising, then, that I am little. The woman across seemed, in no hurry to go. She lottered over a demi-tasse, and that sat, sat with her elbow on the table, her chin in her hand behind the table at the change room in the room. The fun at the table where the college boys sat began to grow a little noise: the fat man, now a purplish shade, ambled away behind his slim companion, the newspaper woman pinned on her business-like hat and stalked out. Still the woman at the next table waited. It was a relief when the meal was over. We got our hats and were about to leave the room, when a waiter touched me on the arm "I bog your pardon, sir," he said, "but the lady at the table near the window, the lady in black, sir, would like to speak to you" I looked down between the rows of tables to where the woman sat alone, her chin still resting on her hand, her black eyes still insolently staring, the woman's face illuminated. "I'll have to go, I said to McKnight hurriedly. She knows all about that affair and she'd be a bad enemy" "I don't like her lamps," McKnight observed, after a glance at her "Better Jolly her a little Good by" CHAPTER X. The back and a Bargain. I went back slowly to where the woman sat alone. She smiled rather oddly as I drew near, and pointed to the chair Brisson had vacated "Sit down, Mr Blakeley," she said, "I am going to take a few minutes of your valuable time." I sat down opposite her and glanced at a cuckoo clock on the wall "I am sorry but I have only a few minutes if you." She laughed a little, not very pleased, and opening a small black fan covered with spangles waved it slowly "The fact is she said. "I think we are about to make a bargain." "A bargain?" I asked incredulously. "You have a second advantage of man." you know my name" — I paused sagelye and she took the cue "I am Mrs. Coway," she said, and flicked a crumb off the table with an overmanfured finger The name was scarcely a surprise. I had already surmised that this might be the woman whom rumor credited as being Bronson a communion. Rumor. I remembered, had said other figures even less pleasant, things which if given brought out at Bronson's arrest for forcibly. "We met last under less fortunate circumstances, she was saying. I have been fit for nothing since that terrible day. And you--you had a broken arm, I think." "I still have it," I said, with a lame attempt at jocularity, "but to have escaped at all was a miracle. We have much, indeed, to be thankful for." "I suppose we have," she said carelessly, "although sometimes I doubt it. She was looking somberly toward the door through which her late companion had made his exit "Yes, I sent for you." She roused herself and sat erect. "Now, Mr. Blakeley, have you found those paparas!" "The papers? What papers?" I parried I needed time to think "Mr Blakeley," she said quietly. "I think we can lay aside all subterfuge. In the first place let me refresh your mind about a few things. The Pitta-survivors of the car marital; there and three that I know of—yourself, the young woman with whom you left the scene of the wreck, and myself. The wreck, you will admit, was a fortunate one for you!" I nodded without speaking "At the time of the collision you were in rather a huk," she went on, looking at me with a disagreeable smile. "You were, if I remember, accused of a rather atrocious crime. There was a lot of corroborative evidence a door, a door, a remember a door, a remember man's pocket-book in your possession, and a few other things that were—well, rather unpleasant." I was thrown a bit off my guard "You remember, also," I said quickly, "that a man disappeared from the car, taking my clothes, papers and everything." "I remember that you said so." Her tone was quietly insulting, and I bit my lip at having been caught. It was no longer a defense mechanism. "You have been my calculation," I said coldly, "and that is the discovery of the man who left the train." "You have found him!" She bent forward, and again I regretted my harsh speech. "I knew it; I said so." "We are going to find him," I asserted, with a confidence I did not feel. "We can produce at any time proof that a man left the Filter a few miles beyond the wreck. And we can find him, I am positive." "But you have not found him yet?" I asked, still disappointed. "Well, so be it. Not for me to bargain. You will admit that I am no fool!" I made no such admission, and she smiled mockingly. "How flattering you are!" she said. "Vory well. Now for the promises. You take to Pittsburgh four notes held by the Mechanics national bank; to have Mr. Glimore, who is ill, declare his indemnement of them forged. "On the journey back to Pittsburgh two things happen to you; You lose your clothing, your valued and your papers, including the notes, and you are accused of murder. In fact, Mr. Blakeley, the circumstances were most singular, and the evidence—well, almost conclusive." I was completer, at bar mercy, but I gavened my life with irritation. "Now, for the bargain," She leaped over, and jawed her votes. "A fair exchange, you know. The minute you put those font notes in my hand—that minute the blow to my head has caused complete forbiddenness as to what I am the only witness, and I will be silent. Do you understand! They will call off their dog." My head was buzzing with the strangeness of the idea. "But," I said, stirring to gain time, "I haven't the notes. I can't give you what I haven't got." "You have had the case continued," she said sharply. "You expect to find them. Another thing." she added slowly, watching my face. "If you don't get them soon, Bronson will have them. They have been offered to him already, with a prohibitive price." "But," I said, bawledly, "what is your object in coming to me? If Bronson will get them anyway—" She shut her fan with a clerk and her face was not particularly pleasant to look at. "You are dense," she said insolently. "I want those papers—for myself, not for Andy Bronson." "Then the idea is," she said, ignoring her tone, "that you think you have me in a hole, and that if I find those papers and give them to you you will let me out. I understand it, our friend Bronson, under those circumstances, will also be in a hole." She nodded. "The notes would be of no use to you for a limited length of time," I went on, watching her narrowly. "If you want to do the state's attorney within a reasonable time there will have to be a noble pros—that is, the case will simply be dropped for lack of evidence." "A week would answer, I think," she said slowly. "You will do it, then." I laughed, although I was not especially cheerful. "No. I will not do it. I expect to come across the notes any time now, and I expect just as certainly to turn them over to the state's attorney when I got them." She got up suddenly, pushing her chair back with a noisy grating sound that turned many eyes toward us. "You're more of a fool than I am," she sneered, and left me at the table. CHAPTER XXI. "McKnight's Theory. I confess if she was staggered. The people at the surrounding tables, after glancing curiously in my direction, looked away again. I got my huf and went out in a very uncomfortable frame of mind. That she would inform the police at once of what she knew I never doubted, unless possibly she would give a day or two's grace in the hope that I would change my mind I reviewed the situation as I waited for a car. Two passed me going in the opposite direction and on the first one I saw Bronson, his hat over his eyes his arms folded, looking moody ahead. Was it imagination? or was the small man budded in the corner of the rear seat Hotchkiss? As the car rolled on I found myself smiling. The alert little man was for all the world like a terrier, over on the accent, and accourting about in every direction. Found McKnight at the Incubator, with his coat off, working with enthusiasm and a manicure file over the horn of his auto. "It's the worst horn I ever ran across," he groomed, without looking up, as I came in "The blankety-blank thing won't blow." He punched it savagely, finally eliciting a fatal thunder crack. "Sounds like croup." I suggested "my sister-in-law uses campher and/or it; or how about a spice poultice?" But McKnight never sees any jokes but his own. He flung the horn clattering into a corner and collapsed sulkly into a chair. "Now." I said, "If you're through manicuring that horn, I'll tell you about my talk with the lady in black." "What's wrong?" asked McKnight, languidly "Police watching her, too." "Not easily." The fact is, Ritch, the police officer to pay." Stoggie came in, bringing a few additions to our comfort. When he went out I told my ally. "You must remember," I said, "that I had seen this woman before the morning of the wick. She was buying her Pullman ticket when I did. Then the next morning, when the murder was discovered, she grew hysterical and I gave her some whiskey. The third and last time I saw her, until to night, was when the crouched behind her, Moknight said down in his chair until his weight, rested on the small of his back and put his feet on the big reading table. "It's rather a face," he said. "It's really too good a situation for a commonplace lawyer. It ought to be dramatized. You can't agree, of course; and by refusing you run the chance of jail, at least, and of having Alison brought into publicity, which is out the question. You say she was out the Pullman window when you were?" "Yes; I bought her ticket for her, Gave her lower elven." "And you took ten?" "Lower ten." McKnight straightened up and looked at me. "Then she thought you were in lower ten." "I suppose she did, if she thought at all." "But listen, man," McKnight was growing excited. "What do you figure out of that? The Conway woman knows you have taken the notes to Pittiburgh. The probabilities that she follow you on the chance of an opportunity to get them, either for Thompson or herself." "Nothing doing during the trip over or during the day in Pittiburgh, but she learns the number of your birth as you buy it at the Pittiburgh ticket office in Pittiburgh and she thinks as sees her chance. No one could have he pressed her breast, that that, drupeen, below would have enveloped into your birth, now. I knew it out, way. She wanted those, notes, doozees—does still—not for Brandon, but to hold over his head for some purpose. in the night, when everything is. quiet, she slips behind the curtains of lower ten, where the man's breathing shows he is asleep. Didn't you say he snored?" "He did." I affirmed. "But I tell you." "Now keep still and listen. She gropes cautiously around in the darkness, snailly discovering the wallet under the pillow. Can't you see it yourself." He was leaning forward excitedly, and I could almost see the grewsome tragedy he was depleting. "She draws out the wallet. Then, perhaps she remembers the alligator "Buddenly the Man Awakes and Clutches at the Nearest Object." bag and on the possibility that the notes are there, instead of in the pocketbook, she gropes around for it. Suddenly, the man awakens and clutchs at the nearest object, perhaps her neck chain, which breaks. "It is all in silence; the man is still stupidly drunk. But he holds her in a tight grip. Then the tragedy" She must get away, in a minute the car must come out, she stands on such an errand, does not get away some sort of a weapon, in this case a dagger, which, unlike a revolver, is noiseless. "With a quick thrust—she's a big woman and a bold one—she strikes. Possibly Hotchkiss is right about the left hand blow. Starrington may have held her right hand, or perhaps she held the dirk in her left hand as she groped with her right. Then, as the man falls back and his grasp relaxes, frightens and attempts to get away. The swiping of the car throws her almost into your berth, and, trembling with terror, crouches behind the curtains of lower tan until everything is still. Then she goes noiselessly back to her berth." I nodded. "It seems to fit partly, at least." I said "In the morning when she found that the crime had been not only fruitless, but that, she had searched the wrong burth and killed the wrong person. The wrong hurt, just as she was bracing herself for the discovery of my dead body, then she went into hysteria. You remember. I gave her some whisky "I really seems a tenable theory. But, like the Bullman theory, there are one or two things that don't agree with the rest. For one thing, how did the remainder of that chain get into Allison West's possession?" "She may have picked it up on the floor." "We'll admit that," I said; "and I sure I hope so. Then how did the murdered man's pockebook get into the skalaskin bag? And the dirk, how account for that, and the blood stains?" "Now what's the use," asked McKnight aggrievedly, "of my building up beautiful theories for you to pull down." "We'll take it to Hokklesk. Maybe he can tell from the blood stains if the murderer's finger nails were square or pointed." "Hotchkiss is no fool," I said warmly. "Under all his theories there's a good, hard layer of common sense, and we must remember, Rich, that neither of our theories includes the woman at Doctor Van Kirk's hospital, that the charming picture you have just drawn does not account for Allison West's connection with the case, or for the bits of telegram in the Sullivan follow's pajamas pocket. You are like the man who put the clock together; you've got half of the works left over." "Oh, go home," said McKnight, disgusted. "I'm no Edgar Allan Poet. What's the use of coming here and asking me things if you're so particular. With one of his quick changes of mood he picked up his guitar. "Laken to this," he said. "It is a Hawaiian song about a fat lady, oh, ignorant one! and how she fell off her mule." But for, all the lightness of the words, the voice that followed me down the stairs was anything but cheery. There was a Kanka in Dalu did dwell Who was his daughter a monstrous fat kikka he sang in a clear tether I paused on the lower floor and latened. He had stopped singing as abruptly as he had begun. CHAPTER XXII. At the Boarding House. I had not been home for 46 hours, since the morning of the preceding day. Johnson was not in sight and I let myself in quietly with my latchkey. It was almost midnight and I had hardly settled myself in the library when the bell rang and I was surprised to find Holtkiss, much out of breath, in the vestibule. "Why, come in, Mr. Holtkiss." I said, "I thought you were going home to go to bed." "Go I was, so I was." He dropped into a chair beside my reading lamp and mopped, bla face, "And here, it is almost midnight and I'm, wizard, awake than ever. I've seen Billivan, Mr. Blakeley." I have, he said, impressively, I not were following Brisonon, at eight o'clock. Was that when it hap- ed. "You know him, too, probably, it was the man Arnold, the detective whom the state's attorney has had watching Bronson." Johnson being otherwise occupied, I had asked for Arnold myself. I nodded. "Well, he stopped me at once; said he'd been on the fellow's tracks since early morning and had had no time for luncheon. Bronson, it seems, isn't gating much these days. I at once jotted down the fact, because it argued that he was being bothered by the man with the notes." "It might point to other things," I suggested. "Indigestion, you know." Hotchkiss ignored me. "Well, Arnold had some reason for thinking Bronson would try to give him the slip that night, as he asked me to stay around the private entrance there while he ran across the street and get something to oat it seemed a fair presumption that, as he, had gone there with a kid they would die surely and Arnold would have plenty of time to get back." "What about your own dinner?" I asked curiously. "Sir," he said, pompously, "I have given you a wrong estimate of Wilson Budd Hatekens if you think that a question of dinner would even obtrude itself on his mind at such a dune as this. He was a frail little man and tonight he looked pole with heat and over-eructum. "Did you have any lunchone?" I asked. He was somewhat embarrassed at that. "I really, Mr. Ilakleya, the events of the day were so engrossing—" "Well, I said, 'I'm not going to see you drop on the door from exhaustion. Just wait a minute.'" I went back to the pantry, only to be confronted with rows of locked doors and empty dishes. Downstairs, in the basement kitchen, however, I found two unattractive looking cold chips, some dry bread and a piece of cake, wrapped in a napkin, and from its surreptitious and generally hang dog appearance destined for the coachman in the stable at the rear Trays there were none—everything but the chairs and tables seemed under lock and key and there was neither napkin, knife nor fork to be found. The lunchroom was not attractive in appearance, but Hotchkiss ate his cold chops and gnawed at his crusts as though he had been famished, while he told her story, "he said with a chop in one hand and the cake in the other, 'when Bronson rushed out and cut across the street' He's a tall man, Mr Blakoloy, and I had hard work keeping close. It was a relief when he jumped on a passing car, although being well behind, it was a hard run for me to catch him. He had left the lady. "Once on the car, we simply rode from one end of the line to the other and back again. I suppose he was passing the time, for he looked at his watch now and then and when I did once got a look at his face it made me—uncomfortable. He could not uncomfortably face him. I had brought My Hotchkiss a glass of wine and he was looking better. He stopped to finish it, declining with a wave of his hand to have it rolled, and continued." "About nine o'clock or a little later he got off somewhere near Washington circle. He went along one of the residence streets there, turned to his left a square or two, and rang a bell. He had been admitted when I got there, but I guessed from the appearance of the place that it was a boarding-camp." "I waited a few minutes and rang the bell. When a maid answered it, I asked for Mr. Sullivan. Of course there was no Mr. Sullivan there." "I said I was sorry; 'that the man I was looking for was a new boarder She was sure there was no such boarder in the house; the only new arrival was a man on the third floor—she thought his name was Stuart. "My friend has, a cousin by that name, I said. 'I will go up and see.' "She wanted to show me up, but I said it was unnecessary. So after telling me it was the bedroom and sitting room on the third floor front, I went up. "I met a couple of men on the stairs, but neither of them paid any attention to me. A boarding house is the easiest place in the world to enter." "They're not always so easy to leave." I put in, to his evident irritation. "When I got to the third story I took out a bunch of keys and posted myself, by a door near the ones the girl had indicated. I could hear voices in one, of the front rooms, but could not understand what they said. "There was no violent dispute, but a steady hum. Then Bronson jerked the door open. If he had stepped into the hall he would have seen me fitting a key into the door before me. But he spoke before he came out. "You're acting like a maniac, he said. You know I can get those things way; I'm not going to threaten you. It can't necessary. You know me. "It would be no use, the other man said. I tell you I haven't soon the notes for ten days." "But you will. Bronson said, saragely. You're standing in your own way, that's all. If you holding out expecting me to make my fingers you're not going to take it. If you have a million, said the man inside the room. To do it, I suspect. If I could. The best of our hard prices. "Bronson planned the door, then and lined up me down the hall. "After a couple of minutes, it knocked at the door and a tall man I asked about your sister, as she appeared in about your face, with a smooth face and blue eyes. what I think you would call a handsome man. "I beg your parson for disturbing you," I said. "Can you tell me which Johnson's room?" / Mr. Francis Johnson. "I cannot, say. he answered, cried. "Ive only been here a few days." "I thanked him and left, but I had had a good look at him and I think I'd know him readily any place." "I sat for a few minute thinking it over. But what did he mean by say- ing he hadn't seen the notes for ten days? And why is Bronson making the bowtie?" "I think was lying. Hotchkiss reflected, 'Bronson hasn't reached his figure.' "I's a big advance, Mr. Hotchkiss and I appreciate what you have done more than I can tell you." I ask. "And now, if you can locate any of my property. In this fellow's room we'll send him up for larceny and at least have him where we can get at him. I'm going to Crosson-to-morrow, to try to trace him a little from there. But I'll be back in a couple of days and we'll begin to gather in these scattered threads." Hotchkiss rubbed his hands together delightedly. "That's it," he said. "That's what we want to do, Mr. Blakeley. We'll gather up the threads ourselves; if we let the police in too soon they tangle it up again. I'm not vindictive by nature, but when a fellow like Sullivan not only commits a murder, but goes to all sorts of trouble to put the man in charge of the man man—I say hunt him down, airfir." "You are convinced, of course, that Sullivan did it!" "Who else?" He looked over his glasses at me with the air of a man whose mental attitude is unassailable. "Well, listen to this," I said. Then I told him at length of my encounter with Broson in the restaurant, of the bargain proposed by Mrs. "I Beg Your Pardon for Disturbing You." "I Beg Your Pardon for Disturbing You." Conway and finally of McKnight's new theory. But, although he was impatient, he believed he was correct. "It's a very vivid place of imagination," he said, dryly; "but while it fits the evidence as far as it goes, it doesn't go far enough. How about the stains in lower seven, the dirk and the wallet? Haven't we even got motive in that telegram from Bronson?" "Yes," I admitted, "but that bit of chain." "Poch," he said, shortly "Perhaps, like yourself, Sullivan wore glasses with a chain. Our not finding them does not prove they did not exist." And there I made an error; half confidences are always mistakes I could not tell of the broken chain in Alison Gold purse. I was one oclock when Hotchkiss finally broke. We had time arrange a double course of action—Hotchkiss to search Sullivan's rooms and if possible find evidence to have him held for larceny, while I went to Cresson. Strangely enough, however, when I entered the train the following morning, Hotchkiss was already there. He had bought a new notebook and was sharpening a fresh appcill. "I changed my plans, you see," he said, bustling his newspaper aside for me, "It's no discredit to your intelligence, Mr. Blakeley, but you lack the professional eye, the analytical mind. You legal gentleman call a spade a spade, although it may be a shovel." I quoted as the train pulled out. CHAPTER XXIII. A Night at the Laurels. I slept most of the way to Cresson, to the disgust of the little detective. Finally he sturk up an acquaintance with a kindly faced old priest on his way home to his convent school, armed with a roll of dance music and surreptitious bundles that looked like boxes of糖. From scraps of conversation I gleaned that there had been mysterious occurrences at the convent—ending in the theft of what the rivonerd, father jalped vaguely as a child, had taken to sleep at this moment and when I roused a few impatient later, the conversation had progressed. Hotchkiss had a diagram on an envelope. "With this window bolted and that one inaccessible and, if, as you say, the —or—garments were in a tub here at X, then, as you hold the key to the other door—I think you said the convent dog did not raise any disturbance? Pardon a personal question. No, the priest looked harmlessed. SATURDAY JUNE 11, 1910 MY STORY OF MY LIFE BY Jacqueline Jeffries [Copyright, 1910, by McClure Newspaper, Great Britain, all rights reserved.] [Copyright, 1910, by McClure Newspaper, Great Britain, all rights reserved.] CHAPTER X. I START AFTER THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BY BEATING SOME EASY ONES. A soon as the big fight at Carson was all over Corbett was rushed off to San Francisco on a special train. They had intended to get him there in time for a big reception, but that was all off, of course. The snow began to fall again in the afternoon. Without waiting to see the other fights that were to go on at 2 o'clock Charlie White and I left the OLD BILLY JORDAN WAS MASTER OF CEREMONIES. OLD BILLY JORDAN WAS MASTER OF CEREMONIES. arena and went for a long walk through the back streets of Carson. We were half stunned by the unexpectedness of it all. Charlie White and I walked down the streets and around corners for a long time without saying a word. I was thinking the fight over round by round. After awhile I stopped and asked: "Charlie, are those two really great heavyweights?" "My boy," said White, "today you have seen the two greatest men that ever met in a ring." I stopped to think that over, but I didn't feel convinced. "Do you think they're so great?" I asked: "I've followed the game since I was a boy," said White, "and these two are the beat men I ever seen." "Then I'm going to be champion of the world," I said "I can beat either of them, and I know it." I might not want to write this down here if it wasn't so easy to prove that it wasn't conceit that made me say it. I made good, I beat them both. I was going back to San Francisco light heartedly enough, for I had a light on hand myself. The match with Yan Buskirk had been signed up again. Billy Delaney had plenty of time to attend to my affairs, so he became my manager. The Van Buskirk sight was dated for April 9, three weeks after Corbett and Fitzsimmons. I remember the Van Bunkirk flight for one thing that still strikes me as a good joke. When I went over to the pavilion that night with Billy Delaney the only thing that worried me was the idea that the light might go twenty rounds and I might miss the last boat back to Oakland and lose a good night's sleep. I made up my mind to finish Van as quickly as I could and try to get the 11:45 Narrow Gauge home, which would land me only a couple of blocks from the house before midnight. But in the dressing room I noticed that Delaney was fidgy. He had a face a yard long. "I'll bet you an oyster loaf, Billy," I said, "that I get this, fellow inside of six rounds." Well, to get down to business, we were called out at last, and I met Van Buskirk face to face in the ring. I shoved him about a little as we came together and then began punching him around the ring. It can't have been much of a fight, for the only thing I remember is that in the second round I thought I might as well finish him and start for that boat, so I walked into Mr. Van Buskirk and slipped my favorite left bard body punch into his middle and knocked him out. Billy Difney bought the oyster loaf. As Van Buskirk had been amateur champion of the Pacific coast and had beaten a number of heavyweights in professional fights, he was regarded as the coast champion, and that title now came to me. I was left in disbelief possession of the field, but for a heavyweight from the east. He was Henry Baker, and we were matched to fight on May 10. a month and ten days after my scrap with Van Bluskirk tongue, Baker." He had done a lot of good fighting all over the east, however, and just before coming to California had beaten the great Dan Creedon. So there was some credit in fighting him. The Baker fight was held in Woodwalt's pavilion in San Francisco. It was a curious thing that two coming world's champions fought that night—Joe Gans and myself. Gans was matched to fight Mike Leonard twenty rounds. Gans and Leonard went on first. Gans won the decision. But to go back to Baker. I must say that the stockyards champion gave my good, hard work to do. In the ninth found I got him. I hooked my left into his body and lifted him up in the air a couple of feet. Then I knocked him out with a left hand punch on the jaw. Baker was as gone a man as I had ever met. Gus Ruhlin's manager, Billy Madden, was at the ringside on the night I boxed Baker. He had just arrived on the coast with Ruhlin and Steve O'Donnell. Before the contest Madden jumped into the ring and challenged the winner for Ruhlin. He wanted to make the challenge sound good, and on the spur of the moment he called Gus "the Akron giant". The name made a hit with the crowd, and it stuck to Ruhlin from that time on. Douglas White of San Francisco, who was interested in boxing then, went to Madden and asked him if he thought Ruhlin could stay three rounds with me. "Stay three rounds!" exclaimed Madden. "Yes, and he'll Jeffries too." "Oh, don't give me that stall" said White. "You can make the winner's and loser'a end whatever you like," said Madden. That convinced White. He had already asked Delaney, and now he signed Rublin up, and the match was on for July 10 at the Mechanics' pavilion, then the most famous arena in the world. According to the articles, Rublin was to get $2,000 if he beat me and $500 if he lost. I worked on percentage, 40 per cent of the gross receipts win or 20 per cent lose. Rublin trained with Steve O'Donnell at Blankenberg's roadhouse out on the San Bruno road, on the Frisco side of the bay. I went to Billy Delaney's in Oakland again. Old Billy Jordan, who is over seventy years old now and has followed the fighting game steadily since he was twenty, was master of ceremonies. Phil Wand of the Olympic club was referee. Right at the start Ruhlin surprised me a little by rushing in with a couple of swings. I made him miss and jabbed him with my left. In the second round I punched him hard and had no trouble at all in landing. Delaney thought I had Gus going. As I started up for the third Billy said, "Now go finish him, Jim." I started out to make short work of the Akron giant, but here I got a now sunsation. As Ruhlin and I came together I looked past him and saw Billy Madden leaning across the edge of the ring and looking in under the ropes. I was just about to reach out with my left when Madden suddenly yelled, "Akron! Bong! Ruhlin was in on top of me like a ton of rock. Before I knew what was coming he was hattering away with both hands and hammering me off my balance and against the ropes. He hit me some great punches. I'll say that for Gus. As soon as the fourth began I rushed to close quarters myself and swung both hands on Ruhlin's chin. Gus was rattled for a moment, and over in his corner Billy Madden was yelling "Cleveland" so loudly that I could hear it above all the noise from the crowd. Gus backed away and as I followed him jubbed no hard on the nose. I pushed in against the jab and swung my left for his jaw as if I was swinging a club. It caught Gus across I SLIPPED MY FAVORITE LEFT INTO HIS MIDDLE AND KNOCKED HIM OUT. the face, and he went down as if he had been shot. He took a nine second count. It was all rough fighting from that on. Along in the middle of the fight I nearly got the Akron giant again. I landed on two or three hard rights over his heart and swung the same hand on his jaw, sending him staggering, but he was landing on me with both hands, too. From that time until the eighteenth he outboxed me without getting into any dangerous mixups. When I came out for that round I hit up the pace and kept planting my right over Rublin's heart until he weakened and lost his speed. In the twentieth I tried my best to finish him and in the last minute of the round I landed on his head with my left so hard that the blow knocked him flat and gave him a very bad ear. It nearly broke my wrist, too, and the next day my forearm was badly swollen from the effect of that one blow. Rublin was nearly out when the last boll rang, but the referee considered his good work all through the bout and called it a "draw" in spite of two knocked down.

THERE wasn't much time for hunting and fishing on my calendar in 1807, Fighting kept me on the jump. But I did get in a few weeks at home and in the mountains after the Ruhlin fight. I had over four months before entering the ring, again, this time with Joe Choynski. San Francisco was stirred up over the match with Choynski on Nov. 20. Joe was a Frisco boy and had made his start there. He was the first really clever man I ever met in the ring. He was a great man in those days, and I was still practically a beginner and learning slowly. Joe was one of the CHOTNSKI LANDED THE HARDEST DLOW I EVER FELT. CHOYNSKI LANDED THE HARDEST BLOW I EVER FELT. hardest hitters in the ring. It was only three years before I met him that he dropped Fitzsimmons dutch on his back in Boston and fought a fif round draw with him. Fitz has told me that nobody ever hit him such a wallop before, and I can easily believe it. Nobody ever hit me before or since as hard as Joo Choynski did in our Frisco fight. Choynski was a very light man to beighting me, for he welged only 167 pounds, according to the statements given out, while I scaled 219 and was thin as a rail at that. I often wonder how men like Fitzsimmons and Choynski can lift so hard. Joe, like Fitzsimmons, had his strength all where he could use it for punching. He had big shoulders and light legs. He was very fast and could time his punches perfectly. As soon as the light began I found out that I was going to be hit. Joe was in and out like a shadow, carefully keeping away from clinches so that I couldn't wear him down by using my weight and strength. He held his right back and jabbed with the left until I saw stars. He surely did punch me pretty badly at first. A few rounds later—I think it was the tenth-Choynskii struck me the hardest blow I ever felt in the ring or out of it. I was walking after him when he suddenly stopped and whipped over a straight punch that caught me fairly on the mouth. My teeth are very even and grow close together, but that was such a terrific blow that it drove my upper lip through between the two in front, welding them apart. I hold Choynskii off with my left, while I put my right hand up and tried to pull my lip away with the glove. At the same time I tried to force it out with my tongue, but it was no use. I couldn't get it away, and it bothered me so much that a round or two later, while I was slitting in my corner, I had my second take a knife and cut away a piece of the lip to release it. I had to keep splitting the blood out as I went on fighting, for nothing makes a man so sick as awallowing warm blood. As the twentyth round came along I was chasing Joe around at a lively slip. We both finished strong, and the referee called it a draw. A number of people thought I should have had the decision. I did the forcing and landed the only knockdowns, but Choynak deserved a lot of credit for his cleverness. I was satisfied. After this fight I went home to Los Angeles and there was matched against Joe Goddard, the famous Barrier-champion. Joe Goddard had a great record. He was a big man, just about my own height and weighing 105 pounds. After the clever Choynak it was fun to meet a slugger. That was just my own game. I went at Goddard as hard as I could and hammered him so badly that in the second round for the first time in his life—he wanted to quit. He had enough then. He was aboved out for the third round and fought as well as he could. At the end of that round his seconds throw up the sponge. John Brink, the referrer, announced that if Goddard quit he would call it "no contest!" and no money would be paid by the club. Goddard came up again, and after a few smashes I planted a body pouch that dropped him hard. Brink stopped if himself then, for Goddard had no chance even if he could have some We offer you, the latest and most artistic photos, at a more moderate figure, than you can obtain elsewhere.

It was on March 22, 1898, that I fought Peter Jackson and knocked him out in three rounds. out in three rounds. Now, I didn't pick Peter Jackson. I was ready to fight anybody. Jackson 'came' back from England, where he had beaten everybody for several years. He was a mighty popular fighter in California because of the sixteen one round draw with Jim Corbett seven years before. In fact, he was popular all over the country because he was a good, squaro man in the ring and out. He often, board men say, "Well, Peter Jackson was a gentleman, if he was black." He was too. And there was no doubt that he could fight. John L. Sullivan wouldn't meet him, although the whole country wanted John to stand up and show the superiority of the white race. Jackson had to go to England to get a good fight, and there he knocked out Frank Stavin, the Australian and English champion. "As he had cleaned up all the other heavyweights who might have had a look in, Billy Delaney was asked if I'd fight Jackson. Billy didn't even stop to see me. He took the match. I went to work as usual and did a lot of running and -some boxing. I know that Jackson was a fast and clever big man and that I'd have to use as much speed as possible to offset his skill. The fight came off in Woodward's pavilion, which divided honors with Mechanics' pavilion in the good old days in San Francisco. I can remember now just how Jackson looked when he stood up in his corner stripped for the fight. I've seen a lot of good men, but I don't think any one of them compared with Jackson. He was us tall as myself, and his shoulders were as wide as a door. His arms were long, and his hands swung nearly to his knees, yet he wasn't at all awkward, like most negroes. His muscles all lay smoothly instead of bunching up anywhere, and he didn't have any fat to spare. I could see at a glance that he had trained hard. He weighed 200 pounds, and the club physicians had pronounced blim in perfect physical shape. Billy Delaney and Spider Kelly were in my corner. They were the best seconds in the business. They knew enough to keep still when a man was fighting and didn't need advice. Young Mitchell and Fatsy Corrigan were behind Jackson. Peter stood looking across the ring at me with a smile and then the bell rang. We started lightly, fainting each other out. I was crouching a little and held my left wall extended. I began jabbing with the left, and Peter ducked easily. The crowd laughed. But I had my plans laid and kept right on using the left until we came together when I ripped in a right for the body Jackson jabbed me on the mouth several times. By the end of the first round I had learned two things—Jackson's punches weren't as damaging as I had expected, and I could hit him in spite of his cleverness. I've always beloled I could beat any man I could hit. The second round started with a rush. PHONE We offer you, the latest and moderate figure, than you can ob- serve.

He know after half-a-minute that his one chance lay in miting it, for he couldn't keep away or block the punches I throw in one after another as fast as I could. He stood and walloped with me, and for a minute we certainly did do some artistic slugging. He ripped some good ones into my body, but it was like iron. Punches didn't hurt. I looked across the way and figured how I'd finish him. There wasn't any use in holding back a punch until the job 3 was finished, but I made up my mind not to beat him up any more than I had to. I went straight at him. He didn't ask for quarter, but put up his hands and tried to jab me away. I pushed in against the jab and punched him in the stomach with my left, bringing the right over to his chin for a quick and merciful knockout. Jackson fell against the ropes and hung to them to keep from falling. He was practically knocked out, although still on his feet I had started another left, but pulled it back without landing and turned to Referee McDonald. "He's done, Jim," I said. McDonald stepped between us and beckoned for Jackson's seconds. (Continued on Birth Pago.) Useless Monuments.

C., has issued a pamphlet entitled, "The Confession of Nat Turner, the Negro Insurgent." It is only ten cents per copy and will richly, repay a porusal. --- DR. CRUM APPOINTED. President William H. Tatt has nominated Dr. William D. Crum, of Charicton, S. C. for the position of Minister to Liberia. Hon Ernest Lyon, colored now holds that position. His removal is significant. He has been regarded as one of the best men, who has ever held the position. The appointment of Dr. Crum will be satisfactory to the entire country. He is able, fearless and a gentleman of the highest order. Why he should be willing to accept such an appointment though is a mystery to us. He is reported to have a large and lucrative practice in his home city and he must necessarily accept the position at a financial loss to himself. The honor though is something to be considered. It is ordient that he desired some other recognition and that it was a case of "take this or nothing." President Taft has made no mistake in his selection, but we fear that our distinguished southerner has made a mistake in consenting to accept the appointment. Dr. Crum made an admirable record as Collector or the Port of South, Carolina and when he failed of reappointment by Executive order, he had the good sense to let his friends do the criticaling of the administration and he said nothing. Now he has come into official favor again. We hope that the government will find some Negro Republics in Africa or some other parts of the world and send some more colored men to represent this government there. It seems that our scope of usefulness in this country has become limited and that we can be accorded more recognition outside of our borders than we can secure at home. The action of the citizens of Seattle, Washington in demanding that the Twenty-fifth Infantry (colored) be removed because one of the members is allied to have assaulted a white woman there is not altogether surprising and is an echo of Browneville, Texas. The action of the War Department in that other matter did untold damage to the reputations of the colored people throughout the county. President Taft flatly refused to comply with the request. The man who was alleged to have committed the offense was under arrest. He is said to have admitted his guilt, alleging that he was drunk at the time. There is nothing to do but to punish him and to treat the innocent members of the command in keeping with their past services. --- THE SUPREME COURT. The colored press of the country seems to regard with regret and dismay the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the 'Jim-crow' car case of Lawyer James Alexander Chiles. The editors of color in many instances seem to believe that this is something of a new attitude of that tribunal in this matter. We do not see it in that light. This August tribunal makes it a rule in all cases affecting the rights of Negroes to hand down a detailed decision against the appellant, if the case is defective and to dismiss the case with a wave of the hand on some technicality if the attorney has been skillful and able unough to "corner" the Supreme Court on points of law. It seems to us that Lawyer Chiles should feel himself highly honored in having his appeal dismissed in the way that it was dismissed. If he had the hardihood and the money to go up to that tribunal upon questions of law, then he should have been prepared for just such a decision as was handed down in his case. He can expect just as much justice from the Supreme Court of Kentucky as he received from the Supreme Court of the United States. We have more than once rounded our readers that the sentiment of the country has been against us and we should so conduct ourselves as to win the approval and support of the better class of white men of this country. We are of the opinion that the sentiment is changing in our favor. Much if not most of this adverse opinion is due to the systematic offs of the Negro-haters in the Southland, who have represented that every colored man was just "dying" to get a white woman and by magnifying the alleged assault cases upon white women, thousands of conservative white men have been led to believe that this is true. It behooves us to disabuse their minds of this fact and the task rests with the colored men or the South land. Colored men should not even look at white women if they can avoid it Jealous white men are led to believe that we cannot look at them without a lustful spirit in our heart. We should demand that white men should not cohabit with colored women and when those embarrassing questions are removed from the equation, we shall find that the prejudice against us will continue to be on the wane. The Supreme Court of the United States is largely controlled by public sentiment. Democrats and Republicans are subject to its subtle sway. The time will yet come when the nation will come to a realizing some of the great injustice exercised towards us and a change will set in. We can do much to change these conditions. We are in favor of taking a decided step in this direction. As for the Supreme Court of the United States, a colored man is simply losing both time and money. Still these tests will have a tendency to help in that they will show us the sentiment of this Anti-Negro tribunal and show us definitely when a change has taken place.

He pleaded not vault to a criminal information charging him with attempting to smuggle two pearl necklaces into the country without the payment of duty, which according to the customs officials, would have amounted to $2400.

This is an unprecedented feat Loula Blerlot and count Leesaise crossed the channel from France to England, but never before has a continuous flight between England and France and return been made. Rolls reached the French coast in splendid time. He circled twice over Sangatte Cliffs near Calais, and without stopping his engine turned his perch back to the British shore. The distance across the channel is twenty-one miles so Captain Rolls accomplished an over water flight of forty two miles making a new record for this particularly dangerous course. The weather was perfect. The progress of the aviator was watched with the aid of glasses until he was within two miles of the French coast, when the acroplane vanished from view. After circling the cliffs of Sangatte, Rolls headed straight to sea and made the return at a rapid pace. Three torpedo boats which had been strung across the channel in antiposition of the flight started simultaneously with the bird man when he set out for France, but though the boats were driven at full speed they were soon overhaulled and passed by the aviator. The Englishman's acroplane is a Wright machine built in France, with an American Wright engine. The plane has two seats, giving accommodation for a passenger. By making the return trip he wins the Roust price of $2500. For two weeks or so so Rolls has been preparing for the double channel flight and the inhabitants of the French shore have been anxiously awaiting the trial. Thousands of the 60,000 people of Calais went to the surrounding points, the fact that an Englishman was at last going to attempt the feat twice performed by Frenchmen attracting wide attention. When Rolls left Dover he circled around once after his machine left the earth, then darted straight out to sea at express train speed. The weather was very clear and his progress was visible until he had arrived within two miles of the French coast. In Memory of Lincoln. The Lincoln Memorial Road asso- clation, formed in New York to promote the construction by the federal government of a memorial road to Abraham Lincoln from Washington to Gettysburg Pa., was organized in this city. These officers were elected President, Truman Newberry, of Detroit, former secretary of the navy, vice president, Samuel M. McCleary, secretary, James T. McCleary, of Mankato, Minn. treasurer, Robert A. C. Smith, of New York city. The association does not intend to ask for public subscriptions of any kind. Whatever expenses are connected with the work of the association will be met by the officers personally. Those forming the association believe that the national memorial to Lincoln should be paid for entirely by the national government. The road, as planned, is to be about seventy-two miles long and about 200 feet wide. The estimated cost is $2,500,000. Explosion Kills Eight. Eight quarrymen were instantly killed and four were injured by the premature explosion of a blast in the quarry of the Lehigh Portland Cement company at their mill B West Coppay, near Allentown, Pa. Among the dead is Daniel Cannon, foreman, of Allentown a widower, who leaves ten children. The four injured were foreigners and were able to go home. The men were preparing three holes sixty feet deep, and had put in 600 sticks of dynamite when the explosion occurred. No one knows the cause but it is believed something fell into the hole, causing the cap to explode. The force of the dynamite was exerted upward and 2000 tons of rock were dislodged. Cannon and two men were hurled 200 feet away, and four men were thrown into a wheat field. All were horribly dismembered. The eighth man is buried under the rock. Exhuma Bodicea For Hair Women in the United States who purchase switches of black hair will be interested to learn that a crusade has been begun by the Chinese government against Chinae who supply human hair for affinement to America, according to reports brought to Victoria, B.C. by the Empress of India. It seems that a charitable institution of Canton, which buries large numbers of paupers, found the hair dealers exhuming bodies to recover hair, and when this action was reported action was taken against the hair dealers. Instances have been reported of the hair exporters cutting hair in crowds and the officials are prosecuting all apprehended. Student and CoEd Drowned. Students and Co. Davis consider the mystery surrounds the finding of students of Ursinus college in the Peckham creek, near the boat landing of the college, which is at Collegeville, about twenty-five miles from Philadelphia. The dead students, who were last soon alive when they entered a boat for a row on the creek, were Idaan Thomas, seventeen years old, of Norford, this state, and Frederick I. Baldemann, of Mushall, which is in east Pittsburgh. The gift was a sophomore and the young man a senior. How they came to their death is puzzling the authorities. Though the fact that the water about the college leading is deep and that the young man could not swim lead to the belief that in the darkness the girl may have fallen overboard while trying to step from the boat to the landing. This being true, the authorities think Fogelmann may have been drowned in trying to rescue his companion. A rigid investigation is being made, however, there being talk of foul play or a suicide pact. Man's Body Found in Bushes. Mysteriously murdered a week ago, when he was last seen alive, the body of John Liskinny, of Plymouth, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was found hidden behind a clump of bushes at a docile and little frequented place along the bank of the Susquehanna river. The police, who have been looking for him since his disappearance, owing to the fact that threats had been made against him by some men, are convinced that he was murdered some distance from the spot where the body was found and that it was then carried along the banks and thrown behind the bushes. The head had been crushed in by heavy blows, causing apparently instant death. Taft's New Secretary on the Job. C. D.

JAILED ON MARRIAGE SWINDLING CHARGE Authorities Say Man Used Wife's Picture to Obtain Money. Lancaster, Pa., June 8. — David H. Hartman, about twenty-five years of age, of Eust Petersburg, a little village near here, was held under $1000 ball for trial in the United States district court on a charge of having used the mails to defraud. The arrest was made by Postoffice Inspector Shoonberg and Deputy United States Marshal Thomas, both of Philadelphia. With the arrest of Hartman the authorities declare they have broken up one of the most far-reaching matrimonial swain, ideal in recent years. Hartman, who is a boy in appearance, advertised far and wide, the authorities allege, that a certain Catharine L. Hartman, of East Petersburg, wanted a husband. The replies came thick and fast and the prospective wooers were mutilated for aums ranging from $3 to $15 The field covered a dozen states, and to inquirers Hartman sent a photograph of his wife, who, it is alleged, can neither read nor write. The postoffice inspector states that Hartman admitted having gotten into the marriorial game after a relative had married through this medium EARTHOUAKE IN ITALY Many Towns Damaged and' Scores Killed. Naples, June 8.—An earthquake of unusual intensity was experienced throughout southern Italy, including the island of Sicily. It is believed that thirty-seven or more people were killed and that property losses will be heavy. The shock appears to have spent its force chiefly in the province of Avolino, in Central Campania, east of Naples. The village of Calitri, of about 8000 inhabitants, suffered the most. One report has it that half of the town was destroyed. One person was killed and several were injured at Castelboronia, Calabritto was badly damaged. The town was aroused by the shaking of walls, the rattling of furniture and the falling of plaster. In a moment panic seized the 20,000 inhabitants.

WHAT MEN?--PARK Send, Mama, and, Lovely, Today-- You, Owl, Have It, Fee, and, Do Strong, and, Pigrown. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and same ease, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follicles of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send the prescription tree of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope-to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study or man and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever met together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and disguised with repeated failures may, stop dragging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative, upbuilding, BOTTUCHING, remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly like this. Dr. Jusk drop me a line like this: Dr. Johnson, $885 Luck Building, Detroit, MN will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. PROCLAMATION.

REVIEW OF MR. ROOSEVELT'S AFRICAN AND EUROPEAN TOURS How He Won the Honor of Being the Most Distinguished Private Citizen on Earth. BY JAMES A. EDGERTON. [Copyright, 1810, by American Press Association.] THE fact seems to be pretty well established that during his fifteen months abroad Colonial Roosevelt has bagged several lions and other big game in Africa and most of the royal lions and other big people in Europe. His trip filled the Emphsonian institution with specimens and the newspapers with copyright by Un-scare heads. Of a dwarf is Un-truth he has been the most talked about traveler who has visited the monarchs of Europe since Napoleon Bonaparte made social calls at the head of the French army.

In Egypt he braved the wrath of the Na- nationalists and spoke for the British government. In Rome he refused to meet, the pope unless he could retain his entire freedom. In Austria he met on equal terms the emperor and Koszath, the friend of liberty. In France he spoke vigorously against rape suicide and in trivor of the homely virtues. In Christianity he lifted his vote, already hoarded and trapped, in trivor of peace, provided if he be the peace of right. T Where He Has Been and What He Has Done. Kings Met on Terms of Equality. Business. In Denmark he walked the ground that Hamlet walked and would have talked with the ghost as a brother-of the apparition had dared put in an appearance. In Germany he spent long hours with the kaiser, witnessed a sham battle and discourced on the fighting edge. In Holland he greeted the burghers as follow Dutchmen, and in England he accepted the sad duty of representing his country at the funeral of the king. Everywhere he was the same Roosevelt we had known at home, as keen in his pleasures, as untiring, as democratic and as full of information on all possible subjects. He made the name of private citizen a badge of distinction. As to the num' or of kings he gathered in his collection of specimens, it is impossible to be numerically exact, but to the best of my recollection he bagged them all except Nicholas of Russia and Alfonso of Spalu. Perhaps he overlooked them in the mash. But with these two possible excep- WWW.CONSTITUTION.CONTRIBUTIONS.COM tions he saw everything, and everybody worth seeing, went through Europe with an express train force that gave the edifice monarchies nervous prostration. took the degree of LL.D. at Cambridge, propelled words of advice like a human Gatling gun and made John Bull appolicite by advising him either to govern Egypt or get out. Cannot Escape Publicity It is a great thing to be president of the United States. It is greater to be as big a man outside the presidency as in it. Some ex-presidents have raised chickens, some have become college lecturers or business men, some have been elected to congress, and some have gone into innocuous desutse. Only one has become a faunal naturalist, and the big noise of two hemispheres. There is none like him; none ever was or ever will be. It is impossible that there should be another like him in this land or any other beside the seven seas. Colonel Roosevelt went to Africa to escape publicity. Did he escape it? Is it possible that he should escape it anywhere? When he is absent people wonder what he is doing. When he is present they wonder what he will do next. There is no keeping such a man out of the newspapers. If he were to hunt for the south pole his every move would be chronicled. If he were to live in Zululand, in China or in Hoboken it would be the same. The reporters would find him out, and if they did not find him they would write about him anyway. Roosevelt is a front page character. Tidings of him run as naturally to display type as the river flows to the ocean or the sparks fly upward. Nobody knows how far he has traveled since he left us, but he has covered a considerable portion of two continents. He has no, been as great a traveler as his successor, but has probably enjoyed it more. He has been over the least civilized and most civilized parts of the globe and has been equally at home in both. He has gone from the virgil jungle to the ancient pyramids where Napoleon said "forty centuries look down upon us." He has ridden a camel in Egypt, listened to the riddle of the sphinx and been met by racing boat loads of American reporters on the waters of the Nile. He has talked volubly, explosively and enthusiastically from Mombasa to Christina and from Cairo to London. It was on March 29, 1909, that Colonel Roosevelt left New York by the steamer Hamburg bound for the dark continent. On board he made himself most popular with the other passengers by his democratic and unassuming demeanor and friendliness. He touched at Ulbratrar and Messina on the way, but requested that all formal receptions be eliminated, as he trained only as a private citizen. In Messina he was greeted in person by the king of Italy, and was touched by the great violence of the people. THE MISSING MAN Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL ROOSEVELT AFTER RECRIVING HIS DEGREE FROM CAMBRIDOR. which he accepted as a token of their thankfulness for the American relief work following the great earthquake. The one thought he expressed at this demonstration was pride in being an American and in standing for the time as the symbol of the country that had helped these people in their calamity. The Game Bag In Africa. The expedition landed on the coast of Africa at Mombasa and proceeded inland to Nairobi, where it established its base. On the trip up it is narrated that the colonel rode on the pilot of the engine. Riding on the pilot is no uncommon occurrence in Africa, though not practiced much in America, for the reason that it causes one to collide too violently with the atmosphere. In the Roosevelt party were Kermit, the son and ostensible photographer, although in the end he proved a better ride shot than his father; R. J. Cunninghame, a mighty English hunter, who went along because of his knowledge of the game and of the country; Major Edgar A. Meerns, A. Jaden Loring and Edmund Heller, representing the Smithsonian institution, and a small army of natives. The party took several trips out from Nairobi and shot enough game to make the Smithsonian institution look like a petrified section of Africa transplanted to the banks of the Potomac. After making the game scarce in all the available hunting grounds about KING OF THE AFRICAN DOMINION Nairobi the expedition proceeded by rail to Port Florence, on the shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, over which it took passage, then traversed Uganda, threaded its way down the Nile, emerged with a great beating of native tomtoms at Gondokoro, took passage by boat to Kikarum and was soon on its way by rail to Calio and Alexandria, making stops on route. The hunting was continued till the arrival at Gondokoro. Despite the extravagant notions of the number of animals killed by Colonel Roosevelt, the size of the game bag was comparatively modest, the colonel's big containing only seventy-six specimens. Of course this represented but a small part of the kill by the entire expedition, but the other members were chiefly concerned with birds and smaller game. Colonel Roosevelt has the following to his credit: Rhinoceros, including three white specimens, 18; elephants, 6; tions, 7; giraffes, 10; wildebeests, 4; Thompson's gazelle, 1; bippopotamus, 4; buffaloes, 8; top, 5; elands, 4; pythons, ostriches, leopards, harbotees, bohors, impalas, water bucks, 8 each; zobras, oryx, bush buck, orbis and kob, 1 each.

JEFF IN HIGH SPIRITS Takes Mountain Climb in Preference to Boxing. Ben Lomond, Cal., June 4.—Much to the disappointment of visitors, Jim Jeffries allowed his fondness for mountain climbing to lead him away from the boxing ring today, although he had previously planned to do more rounds, three with each or his sparring partners? When the time for the sparring came it was discovered Jeffries had set off up Mount Ben Lomond, leaving Jim Corbett to attend to the entertainment of visitors. SAME AS OF OLD. Joffrele 'jaunt followed a arenuous morning of training. He was in high spirits. "I fell as strong as a bull," he said during a spell in the gymnasium. "I just want to tear things to pieces. I can feel myself rounding into the same condition that used to come to me in the old days." The fighter did 6 miles on the road as a starter, then punched the bag and hit at the door. He delighted in the work. He wound up by defending Corbett two out of three of handball, which added to his glee, and in his dressing room he frisked around like a colt. JOHNSON TAKES LAY-OFF Training Gives Way to Question of Manager at Champion's Camp. San Francisco, June 4.—A tacit announcement by Jack Johnson that he will make public the first of next week a change in management at his camp was the chief news at the beach today. It has been rumored for a week that Johnson and Little were at outs. One thing is probable—If Nolan is to be the manager, he will run the camp to suit himself. Although Johnson was scheduled to box the Johnson he changed his mind. He did the appring partners had been worked too hard this week, and that he would prefer to save them for the Sunday crowd. Accordingly, in the afternoon, although there were many people who expected to see him in action, the negro drove off in his automobile. Jeffries' Work-out Please Big Crowd. Bon Lomond, Cal., June 6.—James J. Jeffries performed today before 600 spectators in his training camp gymnasium. Three rounds of speedy sparring with Joe Choyniak set the crowd wild with delight. The pace was so fast that it is doubtful whether Choyniak could have gone many more rounds. Jeffries came out of it smilingly. He was in rare good humor, and boxed with his face to the crowd so they could get a good hit at him. The gymnasium program included repo skipping, bag punching, shadow boxing and a short tug at the chest weights. Another little sparring match, not on the program, was the feature of the day. The principals were Jim Corbett and Choyniak, who had been enemies since their last fight in 1899 until they met in Bon Lomond recently. Now they are crones. After Jeffries had finished his ring work today John Martin, Chief of Police of San Francisco, who was down for the afternoon, drew Jeffries aside and asked him to appear in an exhibition in San Francisco on June 11 for the benefit of a fraternal order. Jeffries said that he would like to accommodate the chief, but that it would be impossible for him to break training. Corbett and Choynski overheard the conversation. They at once volunteered their services, offering to appear in a three-round exhibition. Their offer was accepted. After Jeffries had gone out, the two old crenies decided to start in training. They stopped three gentle rounds, each very careful not to hurt the other. Although the pace was slow, it told on Corbett, who was breathing heavily at the finish. The news that the two veterans were at it drew a crowd running to the gymnasium. Promoter Jack Gleason called on Joffries today, and hold a long conversation with him. He said he had come down for pleasure only. He wont hate tonight. Joffries motored down to Santa Cruz tonight. He will spend tomorrow deep sea fishing in Monterey Bay. In Open Warfare. San Francisco, Cal., June 6.—An open warfare battle between Champion Jack Johnson and George Little, his manager, started Saturday night and wound up this afternoon, when Johnson told Little that he was discharged. This was the main topic of conversation at the beach today. Little says that he has an iron-clad contract with Johnson until May 1911, and he threatens trouble. He says that unless the differences are sootled, he will stop the light on July 4th. In spite of the react that he was discharged, Little finished on remaining at the door to take the tickets. Not until Johnson, backed by a squad of city policemen appeared, did Little dopart. According to Johnson, thou trouble arose because Little became jealous of Big Hart. "Hart is one of my friends," said Johnson. "Two taken him out automobiling with me, and Little did not like it. Then, he threatened to whip him, and I told him he was my debt. I did not, and more to do with He has not any contract that he can hold me to." "I have a contract with Johnson that kinds him to give me per cent of his profits, and I am authorized to make all contracts for any hiring matches, theatrical or anything of the kind.

This trouble delayed the boxing in the afternoon, but Johnson wont through with an unusually hard program, which included three rounds with George Cotton and Marty Cut. On the day of Daryl Mills, the conclusion of his work, Johnson weighed for the newpaper men, tipping the scabs at 212 pounds, the lowest he has weighed since his training started. JOHNSON PICKS MANAGER "Tom" Flanagan Will Be in Charge Until After July 4. San Francisco, June 7.—That "Tom" Flanagan will act as business manager for Jack Johnson until after the big fight of July 4 was the announcement made today at the beach headquarters. Johnson made the announcement in the following signed statement: "Tom Flanagan will help me manage my business affairs until July 5, 1910. While not a prize fighter, he is one of the best known amateur athletes who has over competed and is respected for his honesty and integrity by the press and public the world over. When the marathon craze hit the East, after the Olympian games in London in 1908, Flanagan spent his time and money developing Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian, and other famous runners in turrowing over to the professional ranks in order to secure good competition. I am sorry that I cannot have Flanagan with me for a longer period, but his business interests in Canada require his attention, and he would not consent to absurd himself from them any longer." The statement is said to mean that Johnson will conduct his own business affairs, and that he will have no manager for the time being. Flanagan and Sig Hart will do the clerical work, but it will be the name of Jack Johnson that will be attached to all contracts. George Littio, aside from making threats to acquaintances about stopping the fight, kept quiet today. He again attempted to have Chief of Police Martin interfere, but the latter refused to take any part in the controversy. Johnson served notice on the proprietors of his, training camp that he would not remain if Little were allowed around the quarters, and the Chicagoan was conspicuous today by his absence. Johnson did road work in the morning. He wont the usual course or 12 miles. It was the program to do some gymnastics work in the afternoon, but on account of the cold weather and the fact that he is low in weight he rested in the afternoon. Instead of gymnastics work, there was a musical in his private quarters with Prof.' Burns thumping the piano and Johnson playing the bass viol. He will box again tomorrow. MAY DISPLACE BERGER Ramore That Eddie Granoy Will Manage Jeffries. Ben Lomond, June 7. —Glossy following the managerial break in Johnson's camp there are indications tonight of something browning in Joffries' camp. Just what is in the air cannot be learned, but the presence at Ben Lomond of Eddie Granay, a San Francisco referee, and Jack Gleason, one of the promoters of the fight, gave rise to rumors and speculation. Graney said he came to Ben Lomond merely to see Joffries and Corbett in action in their first sparring bout, but this explanation is not given. Graney and Sam. Borger, Joffries' manager, are said to be anything but friendly, and vague rumors floating about the camp have it that the presence of the "honest blacksmith" does not argue well for Sam. Gleason, like Graney, said he came to see Joffries and Gontouman Jim Don the gloves for the first time. Jeffries' good humor seems to be the best barometer of conditions in the camp, and if any disturbing winds are blowing as a result of Glosson's and Graney's visit they have not yet rummed the feelings of Jeffries. JEFF CHANGES HIS MIND. For the second time, the first boxing bout between Jeffries and Corbett suffered a postponement, and caused keen disappointment to a large crowd of enthusiasts, who came down from San Francisco to see the former champion and the undefeated one in action. At the last moment, Jeffries decided to await the completion of his outdoor ring before donning the gloves with Corbett. REDUCTION SALE OF FURNITURE NOW ENDED.

It was referred by Jack Gleason. The two fighters, to the delight of the crowd, got into a heated argument over a ball that Jotfries said was fair. Corbett was equally insistent that it was foul. The altercation wazed noisy, and the game came near breaking up in a row. Disregarding the referees, who had run the ball and was both to run, the referee and Corbett tried to settle it between themselves. Corbett's good nature triumphed, and when things were warmer Jotfries suddenly admitted that Corbett had out-talked him, and gave in. He was mobilized by winning the game.

Hatred That Repulses Christ.-V 21 Why did Jesus leave Capernaum and Galilee? Already at the time of his highest fame, the cloud had arisen that was to cover the whole sky. When, interptorting the leading of the five thousand, Christ insisted upon spiritual food and not literatl bread as the supremo gift to men (John 6.22-71), many even of his disciples were offended and walked no more with him. We have already seen (lesson 7) the delegates from the scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem as they watched him to catch him in some word or act by which they could bring a charge against him. What was this charge that the Pharisees sought? That the disciples of Jesus ate with unwashed hands—not hands that we would consider unclean, but hands that had not been washed according to the Pharisaic rules that had grown up What position did Christ take regarding such observances* That the Pharisees were hypocritical wasting their thought and time on empty regulations while they transgressed the real law of God What was the importance of this controversy? "These twenty verses (Matt. 15:120) sum up the great controversy of the New Testament," that between the religion of the letter and external obstacles and the religion of the heart, between what St. Paul calls "the righteousness which is of the law and the righteousness which is of God by (or grounded upon) faith," Phil 3 9* - Cambridge Bible. What was the effect of the controversy on Christ* This hatred and bitter opposition drove Jesus into retirement again Where, did he go this time, with his disciples? Into the coast horders, region) of Tyro and Sidon. These flourishing seasports, the capitals of Phoenicia, are not far from the Sea of Gallilee. Tyre only about 36 and Sidon 55 miles. Love That (Christ Seeks) — V 22. How did Christ succeed in his plans for rest? 'He could not be hid.' says Mark. Who broke into our Lord's retreat? As we might expect a mother. Her daughter (Mark tells us that it was a little girl) was grievously vexed with a devil. How did this mother approach Jesus? She must have forced her way into the house against opposition. She fell at Christ's feet (Mark and cried, doubtless over—and over "Have mercy on and." O Lord, thou son of David. The Suppilant Test -Vs 23-27 Those that pray are usually tested This is not to inform Christ whether they are sincere or not, since he knows all hearts The First Test was the difference in race, nationality and religion She was by language a Greek (see Mark), and we have no knowledge that our Lord spoke Greek By nationality she was a Cannanite, of the blood of the original inhabitants of the land, descendants of Ham How did the woman overcome those obstacles? By calling Jesus "Lord" and "son of David," thus showing some knowledge of the Jewish Messiah The Second Test was silence "He answered her not a word" How did this woman meet this test of silence? By her persistence she continued her beaceaching cries The Third Test was the opposition of the disbeliefs How did Christ answer the disciples' selfish urges? By a remarkable statement of the unity and restraints of his mission "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." How did the mother meet this new obstacle? By ignoring the disciples and going straight to Jesus once more. The Fourth Test was an absolute denial from the lips of Jesus, or what seemed such "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs." How did the mother meet this obstacle? "Truth, Lord, yet dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table." * The Suppliment Rewarded - V 28. How did Jesus receive this saying? With evident and profound satisfaction: "O woman, great is thy faith!" How was the noble mother rewarded for her persistence and faith? By the complete cure of the little girl from that very hour, the precise moment when Christ had pronounced the words of healing. Illustration "Everywhere faith, or the capacity of receiving, has a power to claim and demand the thing which it needs. You plant a healthy seed into the ground. The soil acknowledges its power, no sooner does it feel the seed than it replies; it unlocks all its treasured of force; the little hungry black kernel in its mas- far. "O seed, great is thy faith," the ground seems to say; "be it unto the eyes as thou will," and so the miracle of growth begins."—Phillips Brooks. It is persevering. It recognizes the meaning of God's alliances, as did the Cannanite of our season. (Continued from Third Page.) MY STORY OF MY LIFE BY JAMES J. JEFFRIES (Copyright, 1994 by McClure Newspaper Great Britain. All rights reserved.) (Copyright, 1918, by McClure Newspaper, Syndicate. Copyright in Canada and Great Britain. All rights reserved.) CHAPTER XII. I GET DECISION OVER SHARKEY AND DAWN UPON NEW YORK. A BOUT this time there was just oneighter left to the Pacific coast to meet me. He was Tom Sharkey. Tom had a couple of years' start in the game When I fought Long, Sharkey was a topnotcher He came ashore from the cruiser Philadelphia in 1896 and knocked out Australian Billy Smith in seven rounds. After liking a soldier named Miller and drawing with Alex Greggains he knocked Choynak out in eight rounds Sharkey was such a rough customer that they put him against Champion Jim Corbett, expecting to see him cut to pieces. He roughhoused Corbett for four rounds, and everybody went crazy over him. Then he fought Pitzimmona, and Wyatt, Earp gave him the decision a foul. When I was offered a sight with Sharkey, Billy Delaney and I both felt like celebrating. Things were coming my way, and the championship didn't look far off. Ag for Bill, he sat down and said "Jim, you can kick this sailor. There's nothing to it." Billy wasn't much on giving out tips, but he did tell a lot of his friends that I could beat Sharkey. The fight was in Mechanics' patio on May 6, 1808. When we entered the ring I looked over at Sharkey and he grinned. He was as confident as a guncook. He looked like a sawed off Hercules. His skin was tanned by the sun and wind and his muscles bulged but all over in big bumps. He had anchors tattooed on his arms and a big ship in red and blue ink on his chest. "Do you see that ship on Sharkey's front?" I asked Billy Delaney. "Sure," said Bill. "Well, keep your eye on it. I'm going to sink it." I said. We began fighting. Without waiting to feel Tom out I walked straight at him, and he gave ground. He didn't like my looks much, I guess, after the clever fellows he had been fighting. But in a moment he jumped at me with a wild swing. It was no trouble at all to push him away with my left and make him in tears. I had taken a good lead and was forcing the fighting round after round. In the seventh round Sharkey got vicious and rushed at me as if he wanted to throw me overboard. Two or three times he jammed me against the ropes. In the next round Tom came tearing at me with his head down like a bull. I reached out and caught him by both shoulders. Then I spread my feet to get a good hold on the floor and shook him like a schoolteacher shaking a boy. That was the biggest surprise Sharkey ever had in his life. I tried hard to get him in the las. round, and I guess he tried hard, too, for he got in a couple of good aways. At the finish Greggalna gave me the decision. Sharkey left the ring looking pretty glum, but he hadn't anything to say except that he'd fight me again. I gave him the first chance at my title when I became champion. I had cleaned up all the big heavyweights in the west now, and there was nothing to do but to go east and make a cleanup there that would lead to a fight with Fitzsimmon for the championship. My hope went high when I was offered my first chance in New York. The eastern people wanted to see the man who had beaten Peter Jackson and Tom Sharkey. Tom O'Rourke matched me against two men for ten rounds each, the rights to take place at the Lenox Athletic club, in New York city The cast seemed strange to me on this first trip back since my boyhood days. Even the streets and the trees and the buildings were so different from ours in California that it seemed like going into a foreign country. Even the people were different. Today I have friends and acquaintances everywhere and can enjoy a visit to New York, but the first time a few days of it left me homework for my own California mountains. As for Armstrong and O'Donnell, the men picked to fight me. I didn't worry over them Armstrong I knew only by reputation O'Donnell I had met in San Francisco when he came to the coast with Madden and Rubin O'Donnell was as clever as Jim Cobbett in a gymnasium, but he was an unlucky big-fellow. As soon as he stepped into a ring to fight he became so nervous that he forgot his skill I picked Armstrong for my first man, thinking I'd do the hardest before there was a chance of getting tired. I couldn't help admiring the looks of big Bob when his stripped in the opposite corner on the night of Aug. 6. 1858. He was like a great bronze statue. Here at last I was going to fight a man under than myself, with a great reach, both strength and pliancy of weight. Armstrong was clever, I knew that and he could hit. He was a fine looking fighter, even if he was black. Armstrong was waiting when I stepped into the ring with Billy Delaney. As soon as I reached my corner he came across and held out his hand with a wide smile that showed all of his teeth. Billy Delaney whispered to me that Armstrong's corner, the south-west, was considered unucky because of the number of losers that had occupied it. There were many famous fighters around the ring that night. I remember seeing Jim Corbett, John L. Sullipfitt Joe Goddard, Peter Mahor, Kid Lavigne, Sammy Kelly, Tom Sharkey, Mysterious Billy Smith and a lot of others. Bob Fitzsimons wasn't there. Being champion, he didn't care to look at any dub heavyweights. As soon as the bell rang I went right at the big black man. After a few light exchanges I landed a hard left on his jaw and, running him back, wwung the left again. Armstrongo ducked a little, and the blow went high. As it landed a sharp twinge of pain shot along my arm. I had broken my left thumb. That was pretty tough luck in the first round of a double header. I didn't let any one know my hand was hurt, but went right on hitting with it. If you ever punched anybody with a broken thumb on your punching hand you know how it feels. It isn't any fun. As I remember the fight, I forced the pace from the start. The black man was hard to get at, being on the defensive. I figured when we came up for the last round that I had the fight won easily, but I wanted to knock Armstrong out now that the end was so near. He stood up to me for a moment, and I swung my left hard enough to do the trick. Bob saw it coming and in his hurry to get away fell on the floor. As he got up I went after him and, landing both hands on his jaw, drove him back into his own corner. Armstrong's seconds were yelling to him that the end of the round was near, and the big black turned his-back to me and covered up like a DUBS SAT ON THE BENCH—CHAMPIONS WALKED HIGHT IN turtle. I was pounding away at his back ribs to make him turn around when the last bell rang Referee Charlie White gave me the decision at once, and I started toward my dressing room for the half hour's rest. As I stepped from the ring Billy Brady, in a ringside chair, called to me and asked, "How are you, big fell low?" I just held up my broken hand and went along Brady followed me out to the dressing room. My hand was so badly swollen that the glove had to be out to get it off. Brady took one look. Flivley of the club examined the hand, too, and said that it would be impossible for me to go on with O'Donnell. I never could have put on another glove that night. It was announced from the ring that on account of a broken hand Joffrey would not be able to go on with the second bout. I could hear a sound like the Roman mob growing behind the scenes in a theater just before reaching the stage. All of a sudden it struck me that for the first time in my life I was being hooted and jeered by the crowd. It was the worst jar I ever had. I felt like going on and fighting O'Donnell with one hand, but what was the way I felt stick and sore and disguised with the east. That was the most homesick moment of my life. And to tell the truth it was nothing to what I got the next morning. As soon as I had hopped out of bed and dressed myself with my hand in a big bandage, feeling pretty blue, they began to hand me the papers. Whew! Wha' a roaring! It seemed that everybody regarded me either as a quitter or a clumsy second rater. Some of them even said it was lucky for me I did break my thumb, for Stevo O'Donnell would have beaten my head off That day I went down to the Police Gazette office with Billy O'Danley. In the outer hall there was a bench for visiting fighters to sit on while they were waiting to see the editors. Dubs sat on the bench. Champions walked right in. I sat on the bench while Billy saw Sam Austin and talked over the fight with him. It was funny to be left all alone out there, with the office boys looking me over and everybody walking right by. It made me feel like a meanly yellow dog without any friends. That surely was a grouchy day, and I didn't love the east very much. CHAPTER XIII. HOW BOB FITZSIMMONS WAS TRICKED INTO FIGHTING ME. AFTER half a year at home, with a lot of goal bunting, I began to feel like taking on another fight. But I didn't care to look for little ones. I felt poor enough to the top of my class to want a fight for the championship. Things were going along this way in the spring of 30. when all of a sudden we heard from Hill Brady in New York. Brady had been out of riot amazes for alight time and busy with theatrical stunts, as he told me afterward, when one day a gentleman came into his office with a proposition. He want- RYAN CRACKED DUNKHURST ON THE WORK BRAN CRACKED DUNKHORST ON THE NOOK. ed Brady to go into the Coney Island Athletic club and take charge of all its affairs. Brady didn't care much for the scheme at first. He wanted to be known as a theatrical man and not as a promoter. Anyway, boozing had been dead in New York for some time, and there had been few good matches. 6 But the game came up again in great shape, and people began clamoring for the champions. Brady was sitting in a cafe one day talking the situation over, and as he talked he got enthusiastic: "I have a great chance here," he said. "I know a big follow out west who can whip Fitzsimmons and take the world's championship. He's fought here in the east, but he didn't make much of an impression. People don't know him the way I do. The time is ripe to spring him, and I've got a good mind to take a flier in fighting again." "By George, I will" exclaimed Billy Brady He did. He took charge of the Conay Island A. C. and wired Billy Delaney to see me and get me to come east again. In a few days we were on the way. When I was actually in New York Brady began planning a way to get Fitzsimmons to fight me. "You can heat Pits," Billy told me. "I know very well I can," I said. "Then it's Fitz we've got to get for you." said Billy. Brady knew in a general way that Fitzsimmons was either nearly flat broke or that he had all of his ring earnings tied up in some way. Being in the theatrical business, he knew a lot of inside things about various people. He heard somewhere or other that Fitzsimmons, after a stage tour just finished, had failed to pay the printers' bill for his theatrical posters. The bill was something around $400 or $500, and the printers had been unable to collect. Brady, who was a customer, too, dropped into the printing company's office in an incidental sort of way and in the course of conversation said "bear you have some trouble getting money from Fitzsimmons. I suppose he's a little short just now. He hasn't fought for a long time." The printers acknowledged that Fitzsimmons didn't appear to be rolling in ready wealth. "Well," said Billy, "that could be fixed up easily enough. Next time you call on Fitz with the bill why don't you suggest that he take on some dub for an easy fight and get a few thousand dollars? He hasn't been in the ring since he won the championship at Carson two years ago, and the people are crazy to see him again." Here Brady stopped and thought awhile. Then he jumped out of his chair as if he had a sudden idea. "Why, say," he said, "I'll give him a fight at my club down at Coney Island and pay him good money for it. He can take on this big clumsy guy, Jeff fries, that I've just brought on from California. He can beat Jeffries with out any trouble. It'll be easy money." "I'll mention it to him," said the printer, getting interceded. "It sounds good, and I like to see Fitz in action again myself." Brady did another thinking stunt. "The preliminaries won't need to cost much when we've got a champion like Fitzzimmons for a headliner," he went on, "and I won't have to give that big stiff Joffries more than a few dollars. As soon as the fight is over I can send him back to the const and get rid of him, so I'll save money that way too. I figure that I can give Fitz 65 per cent of the receipts, win, lose or draw, and still make enough to cover all expenses and have a fair profit left over. Tell him that he can have 65 per cent, and we'll draw the biggest house on record." Brady had struck the right scheme. Fitzzimmons listened and agreed to fight. So we got Fitzsimmons, and at last the thing I'd been dreaming about ever since that day when I walked down the street with Charlie White at Carson had come true. I had my chance to fight for the championship of the world, and I made up my mind right then that I'd either win it or they'd carry me out of the ring on a shutter. I didn't intend to take the trouble to provide the shutter either. Now that I was really matched work started in earnest. We got a cottage at Allenhurst, N. J., not far from the beach at Abbury Park. Back of our cottage we had a handball court built. It was like the handball court Corbett had at Carrson except for the fact that it wasn't roofed over. The weather was fairly warm now, and I like to work as much as possible in the copen air. Beside the cottage there was a croquet court. Croquet may be a ladies game, but nobody would have thought if they'd seen Tommy Ryan and big Dunkhorn, the "human freight car," at it. Then it was more like football. Tommy had a little ph Ed. They used to bet a quarter's a grand. One day I was acting as referee, and Tommy had won about a quarter and a quarter from Dunkhorn. Ed had only two hits. This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal. The Grand Lodge of Virginia has jurisdiction over all of the cities and counties in this state. Thirty males are required to organize a new lodge. The benefits paid constitute one of its strongest features, but the principles are greater than anything else.

Dunkhorst jumped in and claimed a foul. As rofereo I decided that there was no foul Dunkhorst started to holler, and Ryan turned on him. "You big quitter!" yelled Ryan, and he reached over with his mallet and cracked Dunkhorst on the nose. The blood flow all over the front of his shirt. That broke up the game. My training staff at that time consisted of Billy Delancey, my special adviser, and Ryan and my brother Jack and Ed Dunkhorst. Ryan was middle-weight champion. Jack weighed well above 200 and was game and clever. Dunkhorst was like an elephant. He weighed over 300. He was covered with layers of fat that made him like a punching mattress. When I boxed with Ryan it was a pure fight. Ryan was supposed to be in the camp to give me the benefit of his skill, for he was one of the greatest boxers in the world and full of tricks. But I'll say right here that during the whole time I trained at Allenburst Ryan didn't show me a single trick. He surely didn't invent the "crouch" for me, as most of the papers said at that time, for I used that crouch in my first fight and in every fight afterward whenever I needed it. Ryan didn't want to show me anything. His whole idea was all Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. He seemed to hate me for being so big and strong. He was envious, for if he'd had my physique with his skill he'd have been heavyweight champion as long as he cared to keep on fighting, and nobody would ever have come near, him as a fighter. One funny thing happened at our camp that I nearly forgot. Next door there were several of those imported English fighters training. I had several cases of good Bass ale shipped down to the cottage when training began and stored it away in the cellar. Every day I went down and got what we wanted for our dinner. After awhile it seemed to me that alle was going mighty fast. I be- HE CAME OUT WITH HIS ARMS FULL OF MY BOTTLES OF BAES.

I looked the staff over, and they were all nice and thin except Dunkhorst, who seemed growing fatter and fatter in spite of the hard work. Said I to myself, "That big stuff Dunkhorst is stealing my ale." So I thought I'd teach Dunkhorst a lesson. That night I went to my room at 9 o'clock, waited until all was quiet and then sneaked down and hid myself near the cellar door. Nothing stirred for a couple of hours, and I was just about to give it up when I heard a sound at the cottage across the way, and in a few minutes one of the little Englishman came creeping across our lawn to our cellar door. He opened the door slowly and sneaked in. A moment later he came out again with his arms full of my bottles of Bass. I jumped on him like a cat. But I didn't hurt him—just took the ale away and told him I'd kill the next Englishman I saw around the place and let him go. There wasn't any more ale at the English quarters. Next day at dinner I gave big Dunk-hopat two bottles for himself to ease my conscience. I didn't tell Ed. Mrs. Church—You say she was a war correspondent once?

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD STREETS SATURDAY JUNE 11, 1910 PREPARED AT HOME HOW PLANKED STEAK SHOULD BE FIXED UP. Sirloin Cut, About Two Inches Thick, Rubbed with Lemon and Butter and Tacked to the 'Heated Board, is Necessary. It is no longer necessary to go to some famous restaurant or popular grillroom to enjoy that almost mysterious, yet artful dish that is the delight of every professional chef—a planked steak. With the purchase of a plank sold for the purpose and the services of a good all-round cook, plank steak can be served at home. The steak ought to be a sirloin—a porterhouse is not fat enough—and cut about two inches thick. Rub it over with lemon juice and butter, tack it to the heated board and place in a very hot oven. After leaving ten or twelve minutes, draw the tacks, turn and tack it again in place, returning to the oven for another ten minutes' cooking. This can be garnished with rice or potato cakes, latticed potatoes, little string beans or peas. Lamb or mutton chops can be cooked in the same way as the steak, an added savoriness, being given byasting them quite often while cooking with a well seasoned tomato sauce. Tackling meets to the board is not really necessary when the cooking takes place in an oven but it is pleasantly reminiscent of the days when the board was propped before the open fire and the food had to be tacked to keep it from sliding off. Now for our bonne bouche—poached eggs. Prepare the necessary amount of well-seasoned, creamy, mashed potatoes. With a pastry bag and tube cover the board, with wreatha of potato purée. Brush with melted butter, make slight deflections, and into each break an egg. Dust with pepper and sit and place in the oven until the eggs are cooked and the potatoes lightly browned. NOVEL GARNISHINGS. When making fritters cook sections of orange in water and sugar until it begins to thicken like a slurp. Dip each piece of orange into a delicate batter and try in boiling lard to a golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar and serve in a ring around orange marmalade. Roll slices of calf's liver in a thin slice of bacon, hold together with a silver skewer, flour and cook a delicate brown Servo on chop dish with garnishings of cress. Pass a thick creamy gravy in silver sauce boat. Instead of cold devilled eggs try these: Stuff in usual way, put two halves together, dip in egg and bread crumbs and fry at the last minute in boiling fat. Serve on round silver platter with a center of green peas and a border of thick tomato purée. A refreshing drink at 'afternoon card parties is made from equal parts of ginger ale and grape juice. Serve in straight, thin glasses with a maraschino cherry floating on top A Casserole of Left-Overs. Cut bits of cooked beef, real or lamb into meat, dice. Mince fina a small, white onion. Parbell a green pepper and mince a section of it. Have ready, a cupful of stawed tomatoes or a whole raw tomato. Heat some stock, or gravy, and thicken slightly. Mix all these, ingredients and season to taste. Put it in a covered castorsoil and simmer for an hour in a slow oven. Then stiff, finely rolled crackers over the surface and stick bits of butter in the cracker dust. Shut up again in the oven and brown, uncovered. This will be a nice family lunchon served with sweet pickles. To Remove Status ink, fruit or vegetable stains on on fingers are lesscussable, as they can be easily removed. The quickest indicator is a piece of pumice, stone, kept, on the swash- stand. Wet before using, and rub steadily, but not vigorously, or the skin may suffer. A stain remover that has proved successful with fruit and vegetable discoloration is made by adding four drops of carbolic acid to a half pint bottle of glycerin and rosmarin. Chocolate Cream Filling. Melt a square and a quarter of chocolate in the oven or over the oven kettle, mix together one cup of sugar and three-quarters of a cup of flour and a pinch of salt; add two eggs slightly boaten with two cups of milk and cook in a double boiler until creamy and thick; add the melted chocolate and a teaspoonful of vanilla and when cool spread between layers. Charlotte Russe Without Gelatine. Whip one pint of rich cream to a stiff froth, flavoring with either wine or vanilla to taste. Flour well the whites of two eggs, add a cup of powdered sugar. Mix into the cream and set on ice until it stiffens. When ready to serve line a bowl with sponge cake or macarons soaked in alurory and fill in with the whipped cream. horseadish in a mortar with an ounce of butter and a thyme pinch of red pepper. Rub it abrough a slave, and it is ready for use. It will keep for some time if you put in a cold place. Bottled horseadish may be used if it is very carefully drained. MAKING CASSEROLE OF RICE One of the Moat Appetizing and Nutritious Dishes, and Not at All Expensive. Half a pound of rice, one tablespoonful of brown bread crumbs, quarter pound of chopped chicken or yeal, quarter pint of white stock or water, a few drops of lemon juice, a little grated, sour apple, one pint of white stock or water, one teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of curry powder, one small shallot, one tablespoonful of butter. Wash the rice well and put it into a saucepan with a little salt and half a plint of water or stock; allow this to boll until the water is absorbed. Add the remainder and cook until it is all absorbed and the rice well cooked and stiff. Butter well a plain tin mold, and line it with the brown bread crumbs; line this with the rice half an inch thick around the sides and bottom. Cover the top with butter paper, and bake ten minutes; turn out the casserole, then turn on to the dish for the table; it will then be right way up. Have ready the mince, made as follows: Put the butter into a saucepan and when brown and hot, fry the chopped onion in it, the flour and the curry, add the apple, lemon juice, a little salt, and the quarter plint of stock, boil for five minutes; add the chopped veal or chicken and heat through thoroughly, but do not boil; pour into the casserole, garnish with parsley and cut lemon. MADE A NOVEL CENTERPIECE Attractive Ornament the idea of a Clever Woman, and is Worth Copying. A novel and most attractive-looking centerpiece recently used at a bridge luncheon, was made by the hostess. The basis of the piece consisted of a pastboard box six inches wide and 18 inches long, set upon an old-fashioned coarse straw flat hat, whose wide brim, folded against the long sides of the box, formed a half moon effect. The box was then filled with long-stemmed growing flowers embedded in moss, long strands of wide satin ribbon were woven through slits cut in the pastboard and the straw and arranged at each corner in all-loop bows. Among the bows and along the inner and outer sides of the box were set choux of malline of the same shade as the ribbon, so that the white hyacinths which filled the receptacle appeared to be springing from a bed of gauze. Washing Wool Skirts The wool skirts or children's dresses can be carefully washed in towp尔 water if naphtha is used. Heat wipe wool and naphtha soap can be used in towp尔 or even冷水. Wet the garment, rub all spots with the soap, roll, together and leave for several hours. Wash and rinse in the usual manner. Rinse woolen articles in rain water or hydrant water slightly softened with ammonia or borax. Hang a skirt by the hand or it will dry crooked. Dry, sprinkle and press on the wrong side when possible; if on the right side put a piece of muñil between the iron and the garment. Spanish Rice. Boll one cupful of rice until it is tender in plenty of boiling water, salted; drain and dry off. Chop a quarter of a pound of fat salt pork, and fry in a pan. When it hisses put into the pan two medium-sized onions, also minced. Chop two green sweet peppers (sceded, of course), and mixed with the rice, then the pork and onions, and enough tomato sauce to moisten the mixture well. Butter a bake dish, add salt and pepper, if needed, to the rice and put into the dish. Coat thickly with fine crumbs and bake covered for 20 minutes; then brown. German Beet Fritters. Here is something very novel and delicious. Mash three or four small boiled beets to a pulp, add the well-beaten yolks of three eggs, three tablespoons of good cream and two tablespoons of gifted flour. Sweeten to taste with sugar, add a suggestion of nutmeg, and the grated rind of half a lemon. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, shape into fritters, and fry in butter. Serve with preserved apricots, green plums or gooseberries. Erled Graham Muffins One and a half pints of graham flour or meal, half a quintal of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, half a pint of flour, a pint of milk, two well-boaten eggs, a teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar or two of baking powder. Mix together in the usual way and fry in boiling hot lard. Serve hot without suaring 2. Inexpensive Drink. A very nice, cheap drink which may take the place of lemonade, and be found fully as healthful is made with one cup of pure elder vinegar, half a cup of good moisten put into one quart pitcher of ice water. A table-spoon of ground ginger added makes a healthful beverage Oilcloth Apron. A little white oilcloth apron can be worn white giving children their bath It is also useful in washing dishes Blind the edges with white tape. Many Diseases of the Eye. There are 48 distinct diseases of the eye. No other organ of the human body has so many. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` At the request of a reader, we are giving a design for a jabot. This dainty bit of embroidered linen and lace will be the most fashionable thing in spring neckwear, and are invariably becoming. There is an alluring display of exquisite necknail in the shops. Some women with a little spare time are making their own neckwear, and if care is used results almost as pleasing as those on display in the smart shops may be gained. The very finest handwork should be put on neckwear, and this year the attractive French embroidery seems to lead in popularity. The pattern is given for the little tabs and one-half the crosspiece, which is to be made whole. The arrangement of the tabs may be seen in the sketch of the collar. Fine batiste is the prettiest material, with the embroidering in No. 40 French mercerized cotton and the edge of German Val. This double thread lace is more effective than the single thread, or French Valenciennes, for this purpose. The under part of the jabot is made of a nine-inch square of the balate, with a lace edge rolled on and plaits pressed in. The tabs are attached only at the top, so that laudering is a simple matter. A small brooch or pla may be worn in the center of the cross-piece. Transfer the design by means of light blue carbon paper, or fasten the material down over the design on the page, and go over the lines with a hard, sharp pencil. Embroider the edges before cutting out the shape. Ready to Wear. Ready-to-wear summer dresses are made of every material to be found at the wash grods counters. Designers of wash dresses usually keep the simple lines for practical, reasons. Trimmings are of the fat, launderable varieties and the tunic and overwear are frequently shown in simulated forms only. In style, the wash dress is adapted from garments made of nonwashable materials. Besides the lingerie dresses, there are endless models: made of linen, poplins, ponges, ginghams, figured lawns and ditties, and numerous fancy mercerised soots, which, almost, resemble silks and linens. A great deal is done with self trimmings in these garments, but laces, embroideries, piping and wash braids figure heavily in the adorment scheme. Black Embroidery Bercu linens striped with black are good, and are bought by the artistic drossmaker with a view to their embroidering possibilities. Black mercerized cotton is "fast" and will work up well in solid work upon the striped linen ground. The pattern is stamped upon the stripe, regardless of it, for thorein lies the beauty.

(Continued from Second Page.) I doxed again. When I waked Hotchkiss sat alone and the priest, from a corner, was staring at him dazedly over his brevity. It was raining when we reached Cresson, a wind-driven rain that had forced the agent at the news stand to close himself in and that beat back from the rails in parallel lines of white spray. As he went up the main street Hotchkiss was cheerfully oblivious of the weather, of the threatening duak, of our generally dragged condition. My dragged condition, I should say, for he improved every moment—his eyes brighter, his ruddy face rudder, his collar newer and glossier. Sometimes, when it does not encircle the little man's neck, I shall test that collar with a match. I was growing steadily more depressed I loathed my ornament and its necessity I had always held that a man who played the spy on a woman was beneath contempt. Then, I admit I was afraid of what I might learn. For a time, however, this promised to be a negligible quantity The streets of the straggling little mountain town had been clean washed of humanity by the downpour Windows and doors were inhospitably shut and from around an occasional drawn shade came narrow strips of light that merely emphasized our gloom. When Hotchkiss' umbrella turned inside out, I stopped "I don't know where you are going," I snarled, "and I don't care." But I'm going to get under cover inside of ten seconds. I'm not amphibious" I ducked into the next shelter, which happened to be the yawning entrance to a livery stable, and shook myself, dog fashion Hotchkiss wiped his collar with his handkerchief It emerged sleeming and unwilled "This will do as well as any place," he said, raising his voice above the rattle of the rain "Got to make a beginning." I sat down on the usual chair without a back just inside the door, and stared out at the darkening street. The whole affair had an air of unreality. Now that I was ther I doubted the necessity or the value of the journey. I was wet and uncomfortable. Around me, with Cresson as a center, stretched an irregular circumference of mountain, with possibly a ten-mile radius, and in it I was to find the residence of a woman whose first name I did not know and a man who, so far, had been a purely chimerical person. Hotchkiss had penetrated the steaming interior of the cave and now his voice, punctuated by the occasional thud of horses' hoofs, came to me. "Something light will do," he was saying. "A runabout, perhaps." He came forward rubbing his hands, followed by a thin man in overalls. "Mr. Peck says," he began—"this is Mr. Peck of Peck & Peck—says that the place we are looking for is about seven miles from the town. It's clearing, isn't it?" "It is not," I returned, savagely "And we don't want a runabout, Mr. Peck. What we require is an hermetically sealed diving suit. I suppose there isn't a machine to be had?" Mr. Peck gaxed at me in silence: machine to him meant other things than motors. "Automobile," I supplemented His face cleared. "None but private affairs. I can give you a good buggy with a rubber apron. Mike, is the doctor's horse in?" I am still uncertain as to whether the rawboned roan we took out that night over the mountains was the doctor's horse or not. If it was, the doctor may be a good doctor, but he doesn't know anything about a horse. And furthermore, I hope he didn't need the beast that miserable evening. While they harnessed the horse Hotchkiss told me what he had learned. "Six Curtises in the town and vicinity," he said. "Sort of family, name around here. One of them is telegraph operator at the station. Person we are looking for is—was—a wealthy widow with a brother—hamed Sullivan. Both supposed to have been killed on the Filer." "Her brother," I repeated, stupidly, "You see." Hotchkiss went on, "three people, in one party, took the train here that night, Miss West, Mrs. Curtis and Sullivan. The two women had the drawing room, Sullivan had lower seven. What we want to find out is just who these people were, where they came from, if Brousson knew them, and how Miss West became entangled with them. She may have married Sullivan, for one thing." I fell into gloom after that. The roan was led unwillingly into the weather, Hotchkiss and I eclipsed behind the blanket. The liveryman stood in the doorway and called directions to us. "You can't miss it," he finished. "Got the name over the gate anyhow, The Lauriea." The servants are still there; leastways we didn't bring them down." He even took a step into the rain as Hotchkiss picked up the lines. "If you were going to settle the estate, he bawled, 'don't forget us, Peck & Peck. A half-built, of name and a bushel of service.'" Notchkiss could not drive. Born a clerk, he guided the roan much as he would drive a bad pen. And the roan spattered through puddles and plashed luk - mind, that is - until I was in a frighty of irritation. "What are we going to say when we get there?" I asked after I had finally taken the reins in my one useful hand. "Get out there at midnight and tell the gov'trants we have come to ask a few questions about the family? It's an idiotic trip anyhow; I wish I had stayed at home." The roan fell just then and we had to crawl out and help him up. By the time, we had partly unharnessed him our matches were gone and the small bicycle lamp on the buggy was weaving only too certainly. We were covered with mud, panting with exertion and even Hotchkies showed a disposition to be surly. The rain, which had lessened for a time, came on again, the lightning flashes doing more than anything else to reveal our isolated position. Another mile saw us, if possible, more despondent. The water in our clothes had had time to penetrate; the roan had sprained his shoulder, and drew us along in a series of convulsive jerks. And then through the rain-spattered window of the blanket, I saw a light. It was a small light, rather yellow and it lasted perhaps 30 seconds. Hotchkiss missed it, and was inclined to doubt me. But in a couple of minutes the roan hobbled to the side of the road and stopped, and I made out a break in the pines and an arched gate. It was a small gate, too narrow for the buggy. I pulled the horse into as much shelter as possible under the trees, and we got out. Hotchkiss tipped the beast and we left him there, head down against the driving rain, drooping and defected. Then we went toward the house. It was a long walk The path bent and twisted, and now then we lost it. We were climbing as we went. Oddly there were no lights ahead, although it was only ten o'clock—not later Hotchkiss kept a little ahead of me, knocking into trees now and then, but finding the path in half the time I should have taken Once, as I felt my way around a tree in the blackness, I put my hand unexpectedly on his shoulder and felt a shudder go down my back "What do you expect me to do?" he protested, when I remonstrated "Hang out a red lantern" What was that? Listen." We both stood peering into the gloom. The sharp patter of the rain on leavens had ceased and from just ahead there came back to us the stealthy padding of feet in wet soil. My hand closed on Hotchkiss' shoulder and we listened together, warily. The steps were close by unmistakable. The next flash of lightning showed nothing moving the house was in full view now, dark and uninviting, looming hugo above terrace, with an Italian garden at the side. Then the blackness again. Somebody's teeth were chattering. I accused Hotchkiss but he deified it. "Although I'm not very comfortable, I'll admit," he confessed, "there was something breathing right at my oblow how a moment ago" "Nonsense!" I took his elbow and steered him in what I made out to be the direction of the steps of the Italian garden "I saw a deer just ahead by the last flash; that's what you heard By Jove. I hear wheels." We paused to listen and Hotchkiss put his hand on something close to us. "Here's your deer," he said. "Bronze." As we neared the house the sense of surveillance we had in the park gradually left us. Stumbling over flower beds, running afoul of a sandy, groping our way savagely along hedges and thorny banks, we reached the steps finally and climbed the terrace. It was then that Hotchkiss fell over one of the two stone urns which, with box fallwood trees in them, mounted guard at each side of the door. He didn't make any attempt to get up. He sat in a puddle on the brick floor of the torce and clutched his leg and swore softly in government English. The occasional relief of the lightning was gone. I could not see an outline of the house before me. We had no matches and an instant's investigation showed that the windows were boarded and the house closed. Hotchkiss, still recumbate, was attaining the damage, tenderly peeling down his stocking. "Upon my soul," he said finally, "I don't know whether this moisture is blood or rain I think I've broken a bone." "Dlood is thicker than water," I suggested. "Is it sticky? See if you can move your toes." There was a pause Hotchkiss moved his toes. By that time, I had found a knocker and was making the night hideous. But there was no re Another Mile Saw Us, If Possible, More Dependent. sponse save the wind that blew soden leaves, derivatively in our faces. Once Hotchkiss declared he heard a window sawn lifted, but renewed violehes with the knocker produced no effort. "There's only one thing to do," I said, finally, "I go back and try to bring the buggy up for you. You don't walk, can you?" Hotchkiss sat back in his puddle and said he didn't think he could stir, but for me to go back to town and leave him, that he didn't have any family dependent on him and that if he was going to have pneumonia he had probably got it already. I left him there and started back to get a horse. If possible, it was worse than before: There was no lightning and only by a miracle did I find the little gate again. I drew a long breath of relief, followed by another, equally long, of dilamay. For I had found the hitching strap and there was nothing at the end of it! In a lull, the wind I seemed to hear, far off, the eager thud of stable-bound feet. So for the second time I climbed the slope to the Laurels and on the way I thought of many things to say. I struck the house at a new angle, for I found a veranda, desultate of chairs and furnishings, but dry and evidently roofed it. It was better than the terrace, and so, by grouping along the wall, I tried to make my way to Hotchkiss. That was how I found the open window. I had passed perhaps six, all closed, and to have my hand groups for the next one and to find instead the soft drapery of an inner curtain was startling, to any the least. I found Hotchkiss at last around an angle of the stone wall and told him that the horse was gone. He was disconcerted, but not abaused, maintaining that it was a new kind of knot that couldn't slip and that the horse must have chewed the batter through. He was less enthusiastic than I had expected about the window. "It looks uncommonly like a trap," he said. I tell you there was some one in the park below when we were coming up. Man has a sixth sense that scientists ignore a sense of the nearness of things. And all the time you have been gone, some one has been watching him. Couldn't see you," I maintained. "I can't see you now. And your sense of contiguity didn't tell you about that flower crook. In the end of course, he consented to go with me. He was very lame, and I helped him around to the open window. He was full of moral courage, the little man. It was only the physical in him that qualified. And as we groped along, he insisted on going through the window first. "If it is a trap he whispered, "I have two arms to your one and, besides, as I said before life holds much for you. As for me the government would merely lose an indifferent employee." When he found I was going first he was rather hurt, but I did not wait for his protests I swung my feet over the sill and dropped I made a clutch at the window frame with my good hand when I found no floor under my feet, but I was too late. I dropped probably ten feet and landed with a crash that seemed to split my cardrums I was thoroughly shaken, but in some miraculous way the bandaged arm had escaped injury "For heaven's sake." Hotchkiss was calling from above, "have you broken your back" "No," I returned, as steadily as I could, "murderly driven up through my skull This is a staircase, I'm coming up to open another window" It was cerie work, but I accomplished it finally, discovering, not without mishap, a room filled with more tables than I had over dreamed of, tables that seemed to waylay and strike at me When I had got a window open, Hotchkiss crawled through, and we wore at last under shelter Our first thought was for a light. The same laborious investigation that had landed us where we were, revealed that the house was lighted by electricity, and that the plant was not in operation. By accident I stumbled across a tabouret with smoking materials, and found a half dozen matches. The first one showed us the magnitude of the room we stood in, and revealed also a brass candle-stick by the open fireplace, a candle-stick almost four feet high, supporting a candle of similar colossal proportions. It was Hotchkiss who discovered that it had been recently lighted. He held the match to it and peered at it over his glasses. "Within ten minutes," he announced impressively, "this candle has been burning. Look at the wax! And the wick! Both soft!" "Perhaps it's the damp weather," I ventured, moving a little nearer to the circle of light. A gust of wind came in just then, and the same turned over on its side and throned demise. There was something almost ridiculous in the baste with which we put down the window and nursed the flicker to life. The peculiarly ghost-like appearance of the room added to the uncanniness of the situation. The furniture was swathed in white covers for the winter; even the pictures wore shadows. And in a niche between two windows a bust on a pedestal, similarly wrapped, one arm extended under its winding sheet, made a most life-like ghost, if any ghost can be life-like. In the light of the candle we surveyed each other, and we were objects for mirth. Hotchkiss was taking off his sodden shoes and preparing to make himself comfortable, while I hung my muddy raincoat over the ghost in the corner. Thus habitated, he presented a rakish but distinctly more comfortable appearance "When these people built," Hotchkiss said, surveying the huge dimensions of the room, "they must have bought a mountain and built all over it. What a room!" It seemed to be a living room, although Hotchkiss remarked that it was much more like a dead one. It was probably 50 feet long and 25 feet wide. It was very high, too, with a domed ceiling, and a gallery run around the entire room, about 15 feet above the floor. The candle light did not penetrate beyond the dim outlines of the gallery rail, but I fancied the wall there hung with smaller pictures. Hotchkiss had discovered a fire laid in, the enormous fireplace, and in a few minutes we were steaming before a cheerful blaze. Within the radius of its light and heat, we were com- fortable again. But the brightness merely emphasized the gloom of the ghostly corners. We talked in subdued tones, and I smoked a box of Russian cigarettes which I found in a table drawer. We had decided to stay all night, there being nothing else to do. I suggested a game of double-dummy bridge, but did not urge it when my companion asked if it resembled eurech. Gradually, as the ecclesiastical candle paled in the firelight, we grew drowsy. I drew a divan into the cheerful area and stretched myself out for sleep. Hotokhiss, who said the pain in his leg made him wakeful, sat wide-eyed by the fire, smoking a pipe I have no idea how much time had passed when something threw itself violently on my chest. I roused with a start and leaped on my feet, and a large Angora cat fell with a thump to the floor. The fire was still bright, and there was an odor of scorched leather through the room, from Hotchkiss' shoes. The little detective was sound asleep, his dead pipe in his fingers. The cat sat back on its haunches and wailed. The curtain at the door into the hallway bellied slowly out into the room and fell again. The cat looked toward it and opened its mouth for another howl. I thrust at it with my foot, but it refused to move. Hotchkiss stirred unanimously, and his plop clattered to the floor. The cat was standing at my feet, staring behind me. Apparently it was following with its eyes an object unseen to me, that moved behind me. The tip of its tail waved threateningly, but when I wheeled I saw nothing I took the candle and made a circuit of the room. Behind the curtain that had moved the door was securely closed. The windows were shut and locked and everywhere the silence was absolute. The cat followed me majestically. I stopped and stroked its head, but it persisted in its uncanny watching of the corners of the room. When I want back to my divan, after putting a fresh log on the fire, I was reassured. I took the precaution, and smiled at myself for doing it, to put the fire tongs within reach of my hand. But the cat would not let me sleep. After a time I decided that it wanted water, and I started out in search of some carrying the candle without the stand. I wandered through several rooms, all closed and dismantled before I found a small lavatory opening off a billiard room. The cat lapped steadily, and I filled a glass to take back with me. The candle flickered in a sticky fashion that threatened to leave me there lost in the wanderings of the many hallways, and from somewhere there came an occasional violent puff of wind. The cat stalked by my feet, with the hair on its back raised menacingly. I don't like cats there is something payable about them. Hutchick was still asleep when I got back to the big room. I moved his boots back from the fire and trimmed the candle. Then with sleep gone from me I lay back on my divan and reflected on many things, on my idyll in cone2 on Alison West, and the fact that only a week before she had been a guest in this very house on Itiothy and the constraint that had come between us. From that I drifted back to Alison, and to the barrier my comparative poverty would be. The oppressiveness the stillness were oppressive. Once I heard footsteps coming rhythmical steps that neither hurried nor dragged and seemed to mount endless stalactes without coming any closer. I realized finally that I had not quite turned off the tap, and that the lavatory, which I had circled to reach must be quite close. The cat lay by the fire, its nose on its folded paws content in the warmth and companionship. I watched it idly. Now and then the green wood blissed From Among the Shadows a Face Gazed Down at Me. in the fire but the cat never batted an eye Through an unshattered window the lightning flashed. Suddenly the cat looked up. It lifted its head and stared directly at the gallery above. Then it blinked, and stared again. I was amused. Not until it had got up on its feet, eyes still rived on the balcony, tail waving at the tip, the hair on its back a bristling brush, did I glance casually over my head. From among the shadows a face gazed down at me, a face that seemed a fitting tenant of the ghostly room below I saw it as plainly as I might myself own face in a mirror. While I stared at it with horrified eyes, the apparition faded. The ball was there, the Bokhara rug still swung from it, but the gallery was empty. The cat threw back its head and waited (TO BE CONTINUED.) Ripe Fruits Only. Green fruits are often used, but can hardly be called usable in the best sense.
