THE RICHMOND PLANET DR. DU BOIS SPEAKS He Discusses Sociological Questions Durham, N. C., July 26.—W. E. B. DuBois, director of sociological research, looking into the progress of the American Negro, was the central figure in the last week's program of the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua here. Dr. DuBois gave three lectures, the first on "The History of Education," and the other two on "The History of the Negro." His first lecture on "The History of the Negro" dealt with the record on Negroes in Egypt and in central and Northern Africa, which brought his narrative to the beginning of African slavery trade. In his second address, Dr. DuBois stated that the Negroes of today should consider it a privilege to help in the solution of the Negro problem as one of the world's great movements and not as having to do with something unpleasant. He called attention to the fact that the majority of the people of the world were colored, and that a belief in humanity must necessarily be a beller in the colored man. In the course of his remarks, Dr. DuBois said: "Back of slavery and the slave trade, lay of course several excuses. The first excuse was that slavery gave an excuse for the conversion of the heathen. But what was to be done, when the converted slaves wanted to enter the Christian church? The old English law said that no Christian could be held a slave. That took the excuse for slavery away, but another was soon found. THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE. Just as soon as one evil goes on unattended to, with the hope that it will settle itself, another one will rise up in its place. Problems like slavery, that were four hundred years in the making, do not settle themselves. There came the attempt to establish a feudal system with black and white serfs at the bottom. The rise of the cotton industry spoiled that, and placed slavery on an economic basis, and consequently beyond the pale of criticism. "Then came certain hindrances. The history of the United States from the Missouri Compromise to the Civil War is the attempt of the slave states to get more land for the cultivation of cotton and the extension of slavery. They were up against the proposition or more land. They ran against the moral conscience of the nation; slave property became unsafe, slave property became underground railway and this moral sense, for slaves could run away to the Northern states and to Canada. Finally slavery was overthrown. A VITAL MISTAKE "Reconstruction with its subsequent criticism of the Negro resulted. I fear that too often, Negroes themselves yield to the criticism that is passed upon the giving of the ballot to them directly after the Civil War. It was absolutely necessary. It was not given to the ex-slaves because they thought they could use it properly; not because it was thought they were qualified for its best and highest use, but I submit that the best way to train a man to use the ballot is to let him use it. The ballot was the only way to guarantee to the Negro his freedom. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were absolutely necessary to guarantee the enforcement of the thirteenth. Too many attempts were made directly after emancipation to again subject the Negroes to slavery in everything except the name. "Moreover, the record of the Negroes in Southern legislatures was not so bad. True, they did some silly things, but they gave to the South some things that still remain. The first system of free public schools was given by this so-called carpet bag rule, with large Negro majorities in the legislatures. They gave the South its first democratic government, by opening the ballot to the Negroes and the poor whites. Hitherto, the government in most of the Southern states was one of the aristocracy. A WORD ABOUT STEALING. "To be sure much stealing was done in the legislatures under Negro control. Some is done now. At that time stealing was going on all over the country, from St. Louis to Washington. One clique in Congress stole fifty millions in one deal, which besmirched even a vice-president and a cabinet secretary. The South Carolina government was especially extravagant and did some silly things. The attempt was made to buy up a large tract of land and parcel it out to a large number of people. The bill did pass. In the end the result was that the state had some mighty poor land and some Southern people had a lot of money. "Negro government was overthrown in a manner with which you are perfectly familiar. In overthrowing this rule, the step was taken, not only to get rid of the bad Negroes in office, but all Negroes. That is the one fault of disfranchisement. It hinders the development of the whites, and keeps the state under the control of a few, who are free to loot the public if they desire. It tells the black man he has got to have extra advantages, and to the white man that they are not necessary. MUST VOICE PROTESTS "It seems to me that the Negro ought to get very busy thying to solve all these problems. There are entirely too many people of darker hue in the world, for the problem of different races living together in peace and harmony to go unsolved. We people here in America have a splendid chance to anticipate that world wide solution that is bound to come. "It is unfair to ourselves not to protest when we feel ourselves being treated unjustly. It is unfair to our white neighbors. Nothing is doing the South more harm than to have a class of entirely unprotected citizens, a people who can be stepped on at will, a people who can be treated any way, who can be literally walked over, without the right of redress; for after all, the greatest harm is going to be done to the man who does the walking over." Other prominent men have lectured during the week. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, of Newark, N. J., concluded his series of addresses. Hon. N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, N. C., prominent Sunday school worker, delivered two addresses on Sunday school methods, followed by George W. Little, of Washington, D. C., the famous crayon artist. Rev. W. I. Ford, of Jamestown, N. Y., began a series of addresses Sunday, and Bishop Robert Strange, of the Eastern diocese of Caroling, of the Episcopal Church delivered a strong address Monday night. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, of New York, Dr. John E. Ford, Jacksonville, Florida and Archdeacon George W. Avant, Newbern, N. C., continue their instruction in religious work. The commercial work under Prof. W. P. Smith, of Lynchburg, Va., and the musical work under the direction of Prof. F. A. Clark, deserve special mention. HAS ANYBODY HERE SEEN ARTIST TURNER? Members of St. John's Church, Who Were Stuck to Their Pews by His Varnish, Anxiously Await an Answer. Winchester, Va., July 24.—“Has any one seen Turner, the painter?” is the question being asked by all the members of St. John's Lutheran Church, near Mountain Falls, Fredrick county. Turner, who is said to be a roving brush artist, was engaged to paint the interior of St. John's Church, which is one of the oldest and most historic edifices of the kind in the lower Shenandoah Valley, and he was to decorate the ceiling and walls, too. The work of varnishing the pews and pulpit was completed recently, and on Sunday the congregation, which was unusually large on account of many desiring to inspect the new work, heard a stirring discourse by the Rev. W. J. Smith. When the worshipers were asked to stand while the benediction was being pronounced, however, practically all in attendance found it impossible to do so, as Turner's varnish had failed to dry, and the churchgoers were stuck fast to the seats. Scores of Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes were badly damaged, stained and torn, and the Rev. Mr. Smith discovered that while he was exhorting behind the pulpit desk nearly all the paint had come off on his clothing. Turner left the neighborhood the same day without collecting any money for work that he had done and other jobs he had started. Martyrdm From Negro's Shot Caps Stake's Horrors With Odd Humor. El Paso, Tex., July 24. — A dead man was nominated to office yesterday by the Democrats of Belton, Texas. He is James Mitchell, who was killed Friday morning by Henry Gentray, the negro who was burned to death last night by a mob. Mitchell, to constable, was slain by Gentray, when he attempted to arrest the negro. Mitchell was a candidate for reelection at the primaries, without opposition, and as the ashes of the negro were being blown through the streets the Democrats went to the polls and voted for the dead man. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1910. RACE PREJUDICE CHARACTER RACE WAR A Combat of World-wide Interest. TO TREAT RABIES FREE IN RICHMOND Health Department Makes Arrangements With Federal Authorities To Give Remedy. Richmond, Va., July 22, 1910. (Special)—Persons suffering from rabies will no longer have to go to expensive Pasteur Institutes for treatment, but can come to Richmond, and be treated free of cost. This applies to all citizens of Virginia. Only those who can afford to pay for the treatment are excluded from this offer, according to a statement given out late tonight by the State Health Department. When the present outbreak of rabies appeared, the State Health Commissioner notified all who inquired regarding the treatment, that the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, in Washington, was prepared to administer treatment to all who could not afford to pay for it. This led to such demands on the Washington department that no more patients could be accommodated. Health Commissioner Williams at once went to Washington and requested the Federal authorities to send the rabies emulsion to Richmond, where it could be administered to citizens of the State without cost. The Government officials gave the necessary consent and Dr. Williams will at once make arrangements for the treatment. "The Health Department cannot or course care for those who may wish the treatment," says the official announcement of the Department. "Those who come to Richmond must be prepared to pay the expenses of their board while here. We will only give the treatment, but as this generally costs $150 the saving to the State will be considerable. The treatment will be given free to those to whom the regular charges will be a hardship. All others will be referred to the regular Pasteur Institutes. Acme Massage.

Fun that lingers, comedians and vocalists who do things and novelties and surprises that leave one in object wonderment long after the curtain descends is provided in the latest three act musical comedy "George Washington Bullion", which the noted "Smart Set" Company under the direction of Barton and Wiswell, presents for the first time this season at True Reformers' Hall, for one night on August 10, 1910. Salem Tutt Whitney is the chief grouch destroyer and to those who are not even familiar with his talents a capital entertainment is assured. The production has been mounted in sumptuous style and the scenic equipment compares in every respect with any offering seen hereabouts in years. Forty people comprise a well balanced caste. The music and song hits written especially for the comedy are novel and varied enough to suit the most exacting lover of up-to-date amusement. J. Homer Tutt and Daisy Peters Martin, a clever prima donna are among Mr. Whitney's chief assistants. Mr. Lewis Braxton Gone The death of Mr. Lewis Braxton removes from this community one of its best citizens, who was well known and universally respected. He departed this life Tuesday, July 26, 1910 at his residence, 808 North Third Street, after a long illness. He had been able to walk about, but the continual drain upon his system resulted fatally. His funeral took place last Thursday at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, of which he was a faithful member. He was for many years a trustee of the Second Baptist Church. Funeral Directors Isham Mann & Co. had charge of the remains, and interment was in Evergreen Cemetery. He was a member of Friendship Lodge, No. 19, A. F. and A. M. In Memoviam. In loving remembrance of our dear mother, MARIA L. HARRIS, who departed this life July 20, 1909. "Though sleep but not forgotten." In the distant graveyard Where the trees their branches wave, Lies our dear mother, In the sad and silent grave. Dear mother thou hast left us, And the loss we deeply feel, But God that has beset us He can all our sorrows heal. Fondly loved and deeply mourned, By her Children and Grandchildren. John Mitchell, Jr. We take off our hats to editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond PLANET, and with congratulations extend our hand to him and associates with the hope that he and they may be spared many more years of usefulness to the race. No man in the arena of Negro journalism has done so much hard work as he and met with such abundant success. He is the pioneer Negro journalist of the "Old Dominion," always sincere, fearless and defiant in advocating fair play for the race, he stands foremost among the black quill drivers of the country when the indiscriminate lynching of colored men in the south was semingly a mania of those times. It was he whose clarion notes or "Lynch law must go" that struck terror to the hearts of the conscle棠less mob and stirred the attention of the nation. As president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank Mr. Mitchell has shown admirable executive ability and business acumen which rank him among the best financial and business leaders of the race. Such efforts are an inspiration to the Negro everywhere. Again we say with all the pride of our Virginia blood, and the true appreciation of our adopted state: Congratulations and continued success to you.—Wadesboro, N. C. Enterprise. Mr. J. L.

TWO CHAPTER VII T HE general looked up gravely "Debt I wish you would read some more to me for there are words here that are "Oh, but the good prince of course replied M. Venardy, good humorously concealing his vexation at being constantly interrupted in his smatched tete-tete with the child's sister. "Whoth of em have so many hair breadth escapes I just can't tell whether er I'd rather be the good one or the bad one," sighed the General. "Think of this. The good prince is in a secret passage, and the bad prince gets it walled up at both ends but the good prince has got a show fuse leading through a crack to a barrel of gunpowder under the bad prince's throat where he's sitting, but he doesn't know about it. What kind of time was that to tell anybody he couldn't hear the rest till after breakfast." "Drink your milk or you shall never hear any more" threatened Mine Ivanze. And the child obediently but unwillingly soiled the huge glass and attempted to drain it at a draft "You are pale like the camelina, murred M. Vandendry resuming his torte a tete with Miss Randall. It is only the air of the plantation you need to make you the rose and we are good to make you renounce the black we goin' to persuade you to wear both the rose and the cakelain in your dress once more." "Not yet," said the girl sternly, flickering her black dress. "I know what you mean 'he be returned, with deep significance.' I tell you I think you are going to take off your morning at the plantation. When you do then you will listen to what I have kept in my heart so long. "I will not listen to any other before then, she interrupted hastily." Why is Colonel Moean 'come with us?' she added after turning to her舅妈. I have so many patience to meet him. Are we not too lonely? "Oh, yes. Possibly he may be time to start with us, we return Mine. I assume resuming the trunk from strangulation is the aim of tempted to drain his trunk at a stair in order to the softer return to the Two Princes A Romance. If Colonel Moran doesn't come said Mine Popple that leaves empty seat in the carriage. Alice won't ask Aria to take it in stead of the goose back. "Territory I the Colonel Miss Kidd dall in the same present officer's voice and although the young cre impulsively kissed her hand, she remained as strangely untouchable and expressionless. "Come she added colorlessly, you and I, Ann, have our packing to the is." "And there is a parking case in the courtyard, sighed Mine Duterte. "Will you see for me if it is so dear Anatole?" Then us the two girls left the room she added grasped. "Adele has always been fonder of you Anatole than of any other man. You must help to rouse her from this gloom. She wears that morning now more than a year Ugh! She broods she is so bitter, so strange, so impalpable, so full of mourned impulses. Because her father had no one to protect him the poor child thinks she should befriend all the world which is in trouble. Last week one day home from the auditorium she has given her warm look to a ragged woman in the rain. That was in the rain. You must help to rouse her the Anatole from this gloom. "It is no secret from all what I would give to make, or happy one more," he replied with gloomy sincerity. When the young rocker and his best friend joined the others at their parking the General museum and temperature forgotten had taken his book and secret blissed under the table in which city of refuge, to be held to follow without interference in the further adventures of his two loves. With all a child's adaptation to environment it was not long before he became completely absorbed in the romance. Presently vague and disturbing cries came stalling in through the open window and these he impatiently shook off for natural inquisition as to their origin was trivial compared to the fate of the two prince. But the voices refused to be thus lightly dismissed. Excited cries of "He went this way Look in that courtyard." He turned this corner" certainly merited the earnest attention and searching luxury of every healthy eight year-old whose native impulsiveness cannot be dampened by being dragged from bed before dawn or discouraged by the prospect of an all day journey. After all exciting fact is superior to exciting fiction, for the former is but temporary while the latter is comparatively permanent—to be used as a stimulant or sedative when real life is lacking in appeal. Turning around and looking up from under the table, the general's inquiring eyes met those of Camel Kirk who, standing motionless by the curtain, was warty scanning the room. For a long moment men and boys mute by estimated each other, too surprised to speak. "Other than him" said Kirk. KIRBY Adapted From the Play of the Same Name by W. B. M: Ferguson at length unconscionably emplied, his characteristic phrase. Don't be afraid. "I-I'm not afraid, breathed the General, creeping cautiously from under the table. "Do the roof of this house touch the roof of the house next door" pur- sued the gambler with a reassuring smile. Kirby considered, no hint of his dilemma in voice or hearing. He felt that he could rely upon this child who with all the composure of a self-passed adult admit no alarm to a amazement at the sight of an utter heated and dearrangling young man entertaining a strange louse in the window. "Does that lead to the conclusion?" he asked pointing to a door on Kirby's. The temporal nodded. He was to be less and terrified with joy. We saw somebody making a hartmouth escape; he stated rather than guessed. "I hope so, admitted Kirby, with a smile. Do you want to be somebody helping me to do it?" "Yes of course. What do I do?" "Too out on the babyshirt, Kirby gravely explained "and look as if nothing was the matter. Long your elbow on the ring and tell me what you see. He drew inside the curtain as the child with flushed cheeks and shining eyes entered. "Don't peat!" warned the man in the room. "How many men?" "Five. Two of them got grins. All right. Don't turn any ear when you speak to me." "There's more men bouncing through the garden on roses the street piled in the low window in the satisfying knowledge that at last by some intriguing information of a bounty proplem he had become an indispen sathe charter in a very real adventure which would be to escape the third thing baffled with escape in bad read. Are you the man looking up here who spared himself? "No, I'm in the room. We've been bouncing around the part of the door that refused to draw the curtain." "I think I possess a man and a woman the contrary, and I know of these kind of people, that this is better than where the good people trust friends and his wife. Which one are you? Which what you ask I handle with a pen and a knife? I am not in the good place of the bad place. "Oh well, I did it to the good principle of few minutes if you help me two, and say it instead me a bit." The general will not very diligent if it is a pretty prince who every princess must possess it, and so scared M. Maude that which was present on an old court! "Thank you," said Kiky gravely covertly examining the pond in his breast peek! "This door leads to the street you say? And there are five men on the corner two with guns." "Yes. What do we do now?" briskly asked the boy. "The other girl's offered his hand. Why now he will gently we shake hands and I will thank you and next we will goodly." "All right. Wait till I get my hat." "But we just said gently, remain stared hardy." "Yes but I am going with you You don't know what minute you may need a trusty friend Besides Ive got to see what happens next." "That a just what you must repliedly shaking his head. Do you look out of that window when Ive gone and dont you come near the door. What do they call you?" "Well general I I've only known you about two minutes but I don't hate to get you into any trouble. Now, we both would be in trouble if anybody came in here, so I've got to get out pretty quick, and well be in worse trouble if you try to follow me into the street. So I put it to you this way. If you really want to be my trusty friend just shake hands with me again and say goodbye." "Will you promise I can be your trusty friend?" said the boy carmesty. "No matter whether you turn out to be the good prince or the bad prince I'll always be your trusty friend—always." "Always" pledged Kirby, with the utmost sincerity. "Then shake hands" said the General. They did so gravely. "Thank you General!" said Kirby. "T- He turned sharply at the sound of a softly closing door. A girl had entered the room, a girl whose clear pallor was accentuated by the deep black of dress and hair. She had overheard the boy's last words, had estimated the tablou, and now as Kirly's eyes met her own the warm blood crept into throat and cheek, and she said impulsively, a little catch in her voice: "So it is the General who has had the honor of receiving you, after all. I am glad you have again changed your plans. Now you can go in the carriage with us." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: "But you don't understand, Adela," cried her brother, while Kirby looked his astonishment. "His enemies are after him, and he had to make a hair-breadth escape through our window. He lost his hat in his flight from some where." After I believe you are quite gentleman wrongly in great danger, I have suffered so much myself that it is enough for me to know about you. Listen! Would it be safe for you to cross from our front door to a carriage? Indeed, a more impregnable audience would have found their entertainer irresistible, for Kirby put forth every effort to please, his payment a laugh from Adela or a flush in her pale check. Nor were his efforts prompted by egoism, any longing for self exploitation; that Camoo Kirby." The others hoped perfect composure gravely eyed his cheroot, while he successfully concealed all evidence of any other feeling. "Well," he said courteously, "I always hoped that nobody but myself Karby his eyes still on the girl, bowed with courteous formality. "It is entirely true madam," he said lightly. "I unhappy it isn't a story at all. I have not the honor to be here by appointment as you evidently infer but simply by accident—by virtue of the only open window in the street." "And he doesn't know yet whether he's going to be the good prince or the bad prince," triumphantly added the General, proudly lying his hero. Adèle drew back, frightened, unnerved her hand creeping to the door knob. It it is a mistake," she breathed wide eve with sudden fear. "You are a stranger. "Please don't be afraid of my being the bad prince, smiled karby in his most reassuring and light-hearted manner. If you will permit me madam to talk this hat, I will vanish as I intended." There are men watching the streets," she said steadily, holding him with her eyes. I saw them from my window. Is it that?" All fear had vanished and in her voice there was but apparent a concern for him, the stranger and interloper. He maddled and turned to the listening child. General, do you want to be my trusty friend one more? good! Then do just what you did before—out there on the balcony. When the child with eager alidity, had obeyed, Kirby added in an earnest and steady voice. "I don't know whether or not you can believe a stranger on his bare word but I try. Last night I heard that the worst sounded I knew was in New Orleans. I met him at sunrise this morning at the casks. I went alone and he came alone. It was a fair meeting. We third together he missed but I didn't so I had the good luck to one away. Ten minutes later they tried to arrest me for murder. I got away, but I didn't have a long start. When I turned into this street I heard the coming from both directions. There was only one chance to get out of sight—the open window of a strange house. I took it and be finished with a faint smile that's where I am. She was so stern. Then "But you see it was a for meeting. Why, then should they 'I can't prove it was for the interrupted grunts. I left him living with his post in his hand, but it wasn't there when they found him. They A man in a coat and hat stands in front of a door, holding a book.

ADLER DIPW DACK PRIGHTENSEL, UNSERVED think I shot down an unarmed man because they found no weapon upon him "You mean it was stolen?" she asked wonderingly. He smiled shaking his head. No common that would have dared to. Whatever did it must hate me worse than did the dead man. Stealing that pistol finished me if I didn't get away. That's all, and all I can say. If you can't believe me, he added quote "there's only one thing for you to go to that window and tell men in here for me. But if you believe me well permit me to talk this bit. There was a pause during which they looked and looked in the calmly waiting for her desist. As calmly estimating him, they quietly left the room quickly to engage with a black felt planters in Take this instead, she said no, tendering it. It is my brothers. I thinking her he turned to go. I not now she was at the window and after one hurried gaze she confronted him with white drawn face and eager restraining hand. "Do you know they are still there, watching she did? How come to hunt a man down like that? You will never be able to get to them. They will kill you. "If I start they'll know some only fried to get to be trained on it, and then it probably finish one way or the other. This way doesn't involve my legal proceedings. That's why I prefer it. "Don't try it please don't," she whispered, "pushing back her heavy hair. I cannot let you make the attempt. It is suicide." "Why, that is about all that a left to me—to make a good try," he smiled. Then, suddenly serious and difficult, he added. May I tell you something? Perhaps the circumstances might excuse it if it sounds overbold for a stranger to say. But it is something mighty precious that the last thing I heard before going out to make my try was the voice of a merciful lady speaking kindly to me and, more precious still, somehow, that it was you. I only wish I was going to have a chance to remember it longer." "It isn't kidnapped," she returned with "I. I know." She folded the note. Mike: I believe you are a gentleman wrongly in great danger. I — I have suffered so much myself that it is enough for me to know about you. Listen! Would it be safe for you to cross from our front door to a carriage?" "Don't try to do anything for me that!" "If it were a closed traveling carriage—just by the door!" she persisted steadily. "My story is true, and you have believed it—somehow. But nobody also would." he said grimly. "Please do not try to do anything for me. I don't know your family, but I might certain that they'd turn me over to" "You really must permit me to do as I think beat," she interrupted, with an imperious little gesture softened by her eyes. "We must make the best plan possible under the circumstances. It is out of the question for you to boldly leave the house, and that settles it. I couldn't let you make the attempt if you were my worst enemy. Now, I will see that the General promises to keep entirely secret the method of your entrance and on no account to mention the word 'escape.' I know he will promise faithfully, and we can rely upon it. Meanwhile we must think of some plan. There must surely be some way—' She stopped and assumed an unconcerned expression as Poulette one of the servants, entered. The I reach mulatto hesitated and then pointing straight at Kirby, inquired. 'Shall I take the colonel gentleman's portmentu to the carriage?' Adele turned suddenly in her eyes. 'Yes, yes,' she cured, breaths with excitement. "And, Poulette, tell them to lift the top and let the carriage be closed." The servant obeyed, picking up the late Colonel Morane's green portmanteau, and when she had gone Miss Randall cried Now I know" Now I have found the way" "But-I don't understand," stammered Kirby "I cannot permit you to BUTT "NO. MADAM COLONEL MOREAU WONT CHANGE HIS PLANS AGAIN" make any short on my behalf. And, then there is your family! "Hush!" she will spared. Here comes the family! "Kirin, you are usually started then drew him up as if as the door opened, disabling Mine facem, Ann Pley dell and Annie Vardry. "Mantz, retired Adele as they passed, just asked, we must ask you to give you a seat in the carriage. You see a friend has come after all. "Our friend is good Mine Daveza coming eagerly forward. Want is it possible? You mean Adele, that this gentleman." "Yes," eriled Adele, her eyes smoldering with excitement. Quite possible, as you see Adeve Daveza Miss Pley dell, M Anatole Vardry, I wish to present Council Moran. The colored plans have changed. He rides with us to the plantation. El bien 'Delightful' examined Mune Davaeve, while the others expressed their astonishment and plains that is, she added playfully, with an air grace at the pseudo Moreau if Colonel Moreau will not change his plans again. Accustomed to such astounding turns of fortune Kirby quickly recovered the compasse shortened by the totally unexpected and amazing introduction of Adole. No madam, he replied gravely, howing to the still arch by smiling Mune Davaeve. Colonel Moreau won't change his plans again. And in this unaltered manner under false colony which had been bolstered by the projecting useful and ignorant hand of one who had known his identity would have been the last to act as his savior, came Cameo Kirby to the house of his enemies. CHAPTER VIII THE journey to the Randall plantation occupying a full day marked an epoch in Eugene Kirby's life a fact of which from its inception he was entirely unaccomplished. Without a single exception it was the first time in fifteen years that he had been received on a footing of equality even in inducty—with that high type of womanhood to which his birth entitled him and which had been forfeited when he had yielded to the urge of the river and the wiles of evil companions. And, even though he did not forget that his present standing had been won by grace of a girl's ready sympathy, the knowledge did not interfere with a thorough enjoyment and appreciation of the moment. Under the impression that they were entertainting Colonel Morse, Genefactor and champion of the Randall family. Miss Ploydell and Mine. Darozac yielded the more readily to Kirby's charm of manner, while the General, conscious that he was acting in some mysterious way as the patrol, and trustful friend of his halebreadth escape burrowing on the datter's every word. Indeed, a more impregnable audience would have found their entertainer irresistible, for Kirby put forth every effort to please, his payment a laugh from Adele or a flush in her pale cheek. Nor were his efforts prompted by egoism, any longing for self exploitation; rather, in fact, they were spontaneous, a tribute to the goddess Fortune, which had graciously associated him with a type of femininity which he had longed to meet and despaired of so doing. Thus, with its four occupants in the happiest frame of mind and on the best of terms, the roomy, close topped carriage, its sleepy negro driver monotonously clucking at the horses, jogged placidly over the sunlit roads, while Anatole Veaudry, riding gloomy behind, wuced whenever he heard Adele's fresh and care free laughter. It was an unwanted sound and more than once he caught himself commenting that it was as unwelcome. Meanwhile Kirby's good angel—if a professional gambler may be permitted to own one—was in another direction looking after his interests with unabated zeal, postponing his exposure and consequently prolonging his intimacy with the Randalls. It must be remembered that only Tom Randall and his cousin Aaron had met Colonel Moreau, and thus Kirby's exposure as an impostor could only come from these two. The hot headed, vengeful boy was still busy scouring New Orleans for his supposed enemy, and thus his presence at the plantation would be tidefully postponed until he had either succeeded in tracking Kirby or had abandoned all hope of so doing. On the other hand, however, Aaron, heeding his cousin's wishes, had accompanied Group to the plantation, where he confidently expected to find Judge Pleydell, who had preceded him thither, but, learning on his arrival that the latter had ridden over to his plantation, Aaron immediately followed it so happened, however, that Judge Pleydell, completing his errand, had returned to the Randall's and, taking a short cut through a lane which connected the two estates, unwittingly passed Aaron, who had followed the highroad. Thus when Kirby and the ladies eventually arrived the old judge, supported by a jubilant crowd of negro field hands and domestic servants, was the only one to welcome them. Standing on the steps of the wide veranda while she swung her bouquet by its strings, Adele smiling and flushing by turns boldly introduced the pseudo Morgan to her family's old friend. "Cobolon Mercan this is indeed a happy and propitious occasion," warmly responded the judge, while he shook Kirby by the hand. And never in any life have I seen so delightful and well come an alteration as is apparent in the health and spirits of the young mistress of this plantation. What is the unpleasant secret to account for so great a change since last evening? "Ah it was the ride" duremely suggested his daughter, glancing from Adele to Kirby. "The ride" school Mine, Davezae "Mals non" It was that charming Cobolon Mercan I think he brings the sunshine we have been waiting for so long. While the others with the ex option of the moody and dependent M. Vaundry entered the house Adole offering the excuse that she wished to see her roses again sought flower basket and salvers and a companion by the In domesticate Kirty repaired to the garden Anatole watching them with broad) longing eyes. Presently he became aware that an other was as interested as himself, and turning he found Group at his show. The old serving man continued for some time to silently gean Kirty a retreating figure 'Who you say you say dat german's name, Marse Anatole? he at length!' Inquired 'Colonel Morane' abstractedly replied M. Vaundry "Yes sheh Yes sheh acknowledged Group. Dat's de name what he done give Yes sheh." But he was far from satisfied and still shaking his head and mumbling to himself returned in doors. Certainly not other Kirby nor Group quodam servant and youthful master had the remotest idea that, after a separation of so many years, they had finally met. Meanwhile Aaron Randall had returned from his abusive mission only to learn that the elusive Judge Pheld had again left this time to ride over to the steamboat landing for expected letters. But Adele a elderly coop in was too excited to longer trouble himself concerning the judge's erratic movements, for he had learned that Colonel Moron had after all accompanied the ladies and was at that very moment with Adele in the garden. "Why then he explained to M. Vaudrey who had been his informant "this can mean only one thing Cameo Kirby is dead." And he tensely related the meeting at the onks even down to the detail of Morena taking the late John Randall's pistol "Iom secretly followed the colonel 'he finished' and its devilish strange he didn't return with him I don't understand it." But M. Vaudrey was only thinking of this added advantage which his rival had gained in the eyes of Adele. "Ah, he has one more privilege—I have to envy him" he exclaimed "I see he is a gentleman and does not boast. Also it is that he would not wish the ladies to know I shall seek opportunity to congratulate him when he is not in their presence. I should not think it honour of me to be slow with my felicitation—Ah, I shall do it now." He turned as Kirby emerged from the garden. Adele having halted some distance down the path. "I have just learn, sir," began Anatole, with a bow, "of the great privilege you have had today. We know by the pleasure to see you alive that there is que great accoundrel which is not." "Who's that?" asked Kirby, lighting a cheerot. "I offer you congratulation," pursed and the young creole formally and rather stily, "that you have earn the gratitude of all, good people." "What did?" "Because you have the honor to kill." that Camoe Kirby." The other with perfect composure gravely eyed his cheroot, while he successfully concealed all evidence of any other feeling. "Well," he said courteously, "I always hoped that nobody but myself would kill that fellow. I suppose many have wished to, but they didn't have my luck." "But most I congratulate you, M. le Colpuel, finished Anatole, his voice tremulous with emotion, "is that you have earn so much gratitude—here," making an eloquent gesture toward the house. This time Kirby could not conceal his astonishment. "And why should that have earned me so much gratitude—here?" he asked bluntly, imitating the other's gesture. Before M. Veaudry could reply Adèle had joined the group. "Anatole has presented you to the colonel?" she inquired, turning to her cousin. Then, heedless of his evident amazement, she gaily continued, turning to Kirby. "This is our good cousin Aaron. Aaron, you will be glad to know that this gentleman is Colonel Moreau. I have the honor to present you" "Colonel Moron!" gasped Aaron, agast "Why-why-I met Colonel Moreau--this morning." Adele started and pailed as, too late, she fully realized the truth. But Kirby remained the same courteous, amiable and care free gentleman of the carriage, while he eyed Aaron steadily "Does it seem to you that I have changed since we last met?" he blended inquired. "Perhaps you would hardly know me for the same man" In fact, if Miss Adele hadn't told you that I am Colonel Moreau you would not have believed it? But you take her word for it, don't you? After a long tense silence the bewildered Aaron gravely inclined his head, saving, "Yes, I take her word." "Ah I thought so," gently commented Kirby, and, bowing, he joined Miss Pleydell and the General in the garden. "Cousin Aaron," said Adele earnestly. "I did introduce that gentleman as Colonel Moran. I know just what I am doing. I ask you to trust me until Tom comes because I ought to tell him first 'Will you do it?' And again, Aaron, after a momentary struggle assucced. When the girl had rejoined Kirby in the garden M. Vanudh, who had been an interested spectator of the little tableau exchanged with his companion a significant glance of grave suspicion "He now have changed quickly, this cabinet since you saw him this morning." he commented dryly. "I think But who is this gentleman?" turning to confront Larkin Hume who maping his inflamed face with a disarray sleeve had thrown himself from his weary horse and boldly entered the gate. In fact, he had ridden at a breakneck pace all the way from New Orleans. "Your servant, str," he greeted, hung to Aaron. "I'm lookin' for the gentleman who come here in the carriage with the ladies." "Ah," exclaimed Mr. Kandall, closely scanning the other, "you're the gen HEYER "BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL THAT I AMRO KIRINT" tleman who came to see Colonel Morenu this morning. Do you wish to see him now? Bunce started violently, turning as pale as his overarmed condition permitted. Good God, no! he exclaimed. "But it was Colonel Morenu who accompanied the indies," explained Aaron. And sir here he is now! The old gambler turned with a sub-aged examination of alarm as if fully expecting to see the ghost of the late lamented Morenu. But instead he started eyes met those of his partner, who humming softly to himself was calmly approaching a white camelita in his hand. "Come, cheer up, Mr. Bunce, I hope I see you well." greeted Kirby. Then, politely turning to Aaron, he added, "Mr Bunce is confused. His long ride in the heat has been too much for him. Mr. Bunce is my secretary. He looks robust, but is. In fact, very delicate. Might I go for trespass upon your hospitality as to beg a cooling draft for him?" Anrow'sowed gravely and, accompanied by M. Wardney, retired indoors. They had hardly left when Bunce's long repressed emotion overcame him. "A cobol draft," he echoed, with violent scorn "I want a drink, and let it be strong, friend. I always knew you was a fool, Geno Kirby, but I never knew it was as bad as this. All the names in the world to pick from, and you chose the name of Jack Moreau! Why, dog my cats!" "Chance, Darkin, chance," returned Kirby, quite unmoved. "It was the angel of chance who gave me the name." "Angels? Angels?" caught up the other, his voice faint with the violence of his narcissism. "Jarred if I ain't lost my heartin', I'll be dogged if I ain't delirious. Rinn me if, if don't seem like I'm worthin' out in a garden and heartin' Gene Kirby talkin' about angels. I sounded jealous like his voice. "Angels." THE MAYFIELD SUN "IT WAS THE ANGEL OF CHANCE WHO GAVE ME THE NAME." bo aha. Him—Cameo Kirby! Door old Gene Kirby! Why, you must brained chucklehead," he finished an gritty, "don't you know that Tom Tunk dall's been rulsal' be all over Noo Orleans, tryin' to run you down?" "Well, what of it?" Bunce, making a gesture eloquent of despair, feebly sought the garden beat and mopped his inflamed face anew "He asks me what of that, he wailed to the surrounding scenery "You pore, wanderin' unattic. You know blame well that of all places on earth this is the last you should have tumbled into. Now." with sudden energy and decision, "git ready to git but quick! My boss is dead beat, but git your angel to loan you one and slope for the river I'll catch you up at Natchoz." But Kirby calmly refused the profered riding whip. . "What's all the reason I shouldn't stay here?" he demanded "Why should I expect danger from the people-Mine Daceau, a Miss Pleasdell and her father a creole named Veaudry and a Miss Adelae" - "Miss Adelae who" - bellowed Bupee "I don't know. That's all I heard them call her. Here the fates again intervened in the name of prosestration for before Bunce could inform his partner that he was the guest of the family which thanks to the efforts of Colonel Morreau was his sworn enemy the ladies entered and to the desy gambier's infinite disgust anger and misery he was again promptly introduced by Kir by as my secretary. Moreover, despite his utmost efforts he eventually found himself pledged to remain the night "But I durn't do it me'am" he had expropriated to the smiling and in domitable Mime Davezac "Me and Kirby-I mean me and Colonel Moan got to gilt right out of bore. There's some mighty pressin business waitin for us, specially for him manil. Ah but you will make postponed that business she returned. "I yet are ready and your life is taken to the sunbiles.

And Larkin making an mouth how swallowed his curses and followed the old servant Passing Kirby he breathed soearfully. If I was some people I'd find out about other people." Alone with Adela Kirsty leamed against the old sadism and attentively watched her defyly arrange in the basket her freshly gathered bunch of flowers. "Your friend evidently thinks you are not safe here she said at length. 'But you won't go?' I- I know you are safe here "I doubt it he calmly interrupted. Why?" sharply looking up with startled, wounded eyes "Because you are giving me a longer time to remember your kindness than I expected and I am afraid I am finding that that isn't the safest thing in the world for me" "Great danger in that sir?" she garly asked He joined in her laugh but his eyes were half serious "People who play with fire" "Ah but I don't believe you are a coward, air. Of what was your friend afraid?" "Well, mainly he seemed disturbed because I didn't know your name," smiled Kirby "But you do" "Parlour I don't. This is the first time I've been alone with you since we started. I've only heard you called 'Miss Adole'. I don't even know whose plantation this is." "Neither do—we," she added sadly. "I want to show you something." And, as if yielding to a sudden impulse, she unfousted from about her neck a jeweled miniature and handed it to her companion. Kirby instantly recognized it as a portrait of the late John Randall, and in a breath the full significance of Bunce's observations came to him. Amazed, he looked from the miniature to Adole, then to the house and back again to her. Observing his emotion she whispered. "You knew my feather." "I met him—once," repiled Kirby taking a deep breath. taking a deep breath. "I was proud of him," she continued steadily, reaffening the miniature, about her neck. "and I am not the least proud of him now. You have heard how he died? Then you understand why we do not know whose plantation this is; that we hold it at the library of Cameo Kirby." She dragged forth the name with an accent and rested on unspeakable fear and soothing. "Your brother took Morlean's word for what happened that night, aloud hot!" asked Kirby steadily. "Certainly. Had not Colonel Morel shown himself my father's friend she returned. "It seems to me that Maroua's wife has gone for a good deal while her family," he commented, with relief. 西山 bitterness "And why not? Do we need any one's word upon a notorious adventurer who lives by gambling" she asked, with some apperly, "any one's word upon a creature who preyed upon the weakness of a good man like my father?" "But has it ever occurred to you, he returned quietly, "that possibly this Kirby might never intend to claim the plantation"— "No' No' she interrupted vehemently, shaking her head. "He is too infamous. But I don't want to think of him today. A change has come over me, and somehow the world is a different place"— She stopped and then "with flushed cheeks and hurried breath added" "I feel as if I had been living a long time in the shadows—shadows full of darkness and ugly thoughts. But it has lifted today somehow. What is it?" She turned, asking the question with wondering eyes, her face transfigured. HLEYER "YOU KNEW MY FATHER?" And as if the heavens, bearing out her statement, offered a sign which presaged future peace and happiness, a surcause from all tribulation and suffering, the final and complete obliteration of the shadows of the past the homing sun peeping from over the distant house, bestowed its last care upon Adele lindal, transforming her somber dress into one of gayety and splendor. True to M. Veadurys prophecy, it appeared as if her long affected mourning was to be at length disarded, but contrary to that gentleman's long cherished hopes, his was not the personality to induce the metamorphais. [TO BE CONTINUED] A SATIN-STITCH MONOGRAM A Very Distinct Design Intelligently Illustrated for Those Who Do Embroidery Work. This very distinct monogram is worked entirely in satin stitch, the thick parts must be run out three times to raise the work a little, the other parts twice and once according to width "Lovlable" Petticoat Pottiecoats of the softest, supple satin underlie many of the new costume skirts, but they are so perfectly put together that their presence is not suspected. They are fitted about the hips as carefully as the gown itself, and so finished at the top that no waist band is necessary. In fact, it would be out of the question to have either a band or a yoke on them, as the smooth fitting skirt would invailably betray their presence. So far the hara can for "invisible" pottiecoats extended that in some quarters it is proposed to introduce so lightweight a material as crepe de chine and prevent it from clinging to or rather winding itself about the knees and ankles by using a deep facing of soft satin as a finish for the bottom.

Mille's Good Quality. A fine example of childish reasoning was offered by the little school girl who was overheard loudly approving of a boyish classmate, "I do love Billy," she sighed, sweetly, "I'll go distantly. Why? There's nothing in heaven that he doesn't do!" THE WHITE HOUSE Tompkin's Hall. The above picture is of the Dining Hall known as Tompkins' Hall, recently erected at Tuskegee Institute in memory of the late Charles E FOR THE PLAIN GIRL ADVICE TO ONE WHO WOULD SHINE IN SOCIETY The Heart and Mind Count for Fully as Much as an Attractive Personal Appearance Would. A girl writes me plaintively "I have great ambition to shine in society, but though my figure is good, my features are very plain, and, like all ugly persons, I am extremely sensitive. Then I am afraid that I haven't the kind of way that is needed. Do tell me what to do, for I am very unhappy." There are a good many plain people in the world, if they only know it, for a great deal of the lack of charm comes from the inside. Irregular features and the indifferent colorings which stand for absence of beauty are by no means the whole thing. The heart counts, as do the mind, dress, extreme fastidiousness in personal habits, etc. The plain girl must want to please in every way, and she must get some fun out of her efforts if she hopes to be an entire success. She must not only like the little amenities of society, she must love them. Let me consider the qualities of my correspondent for social brilliance She has, to begin with a good figure Way down under her tormented self consciousness she has the wish to please. So, if she will only stop thinking of her good points she will be able to do wonders A girl who can write such a frank and simple letter is no fool, and her self-depreciation shows she is of modest nature, two excellent qualities for conquering the bland artificialities of social life. For no woman with a good figure is ugly when she is well-dressed and society sees nothing but charm in the modest figure who, without ostentation, does the right thing at the right moment every time So the first thing to do is to strive with might and main to banish self-consciousness. When the plain girl listens she must think of the talker and not of herself. She must endear to be interested and to give such sympathetic answers as will immediately endear her to the speaker. There is a point to keep ever before you—the good and sympathetic listener, or a power in society. Every little act of graciousness in the way of considering the comfort and vanity of an other before you own adds one more figure to the total of charms. The girl plain or beautiful who would shine in the world cannot afford to take alas the best chair and biggest place of cake at the drawing room ten any more than she can afford to interrupt talk with freeway gabble. Her heart must be open to the foliage of the other "critter," man or woman, and she must have at her finger points a perfect knowledge of all the small polite nesses that constitute human decey. Tact must be her sword and genuine liking for humanity her armor. So let me advise all girls who fancy themselves plain to practice first, the gentle art of pleasing, for this constitutes the very foundation of success in sobility, and without it one is all. And of course this recommendation includes the little arts and graces for if you don't know when to call and when not, and think it not worth while to answer invitations or do some other thing equally annoying to others, you will fall far short of being tactful. A knowledge of every social requirement however small, is absolutely necessary. PRUDENCE STANDISH Little Shoulder Wraps All sorts of odd little shoulder wraps draped in chiffon, lace satin, etc., are being exploited by the French designers, but usually on suits with frocks. Oddly enough, Directoire modes, supposed to have vanished with the snows of yester year, are reasserting them selves not only in millinery but in coat and frock details Directoire coats with revers, shoulder capes and waist line shortened in the back if not all around are numerous in Paris, and the short waisted frock, has never been really out of fashion for evening and house wear. Fagoting Now Much Used. Five or six years ago fagoting was used a great deal on dresses boasting of hand work. Then it seemed to sink into disfavor. It is being revived this season, and some of the smartest blouses boast of much of it. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. Tumpkins, of Southport, Conn.

Those who heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at Sagamore Hill this afternoon came away with a sharply etched shadow picture of what his attitude will be toward State and national politics. Primarily he wished to keep in the background in the approaching campaign for he feels that taking too prominent a part in it he may be accused of assuming a dictatorship. These views of Colonel Roosevelt he explained to those who have come to see him recently. He tells his visitors that he is anxious to take a hand as a private citizen but he is willing to go no further. Broadly speaking, he will do all in his power, to help the men who stood by him and his polices during his years in the White House, but he is non-committal as to whether he expects to carry this to the point of coming out openly in favor of the Republicans, all over the country whom he considers to be standing for his ideas. He does any, however, that he must forget factional differences, and even party lines, and support the men and the things which he believes to stand for the best interests of the country as a whole. But he has not made up his mind when he will take any decided stand. This indicates that Mr. Roosevelt realizes that he is standing upon "the brink of a political precipice." Events are not transpiring to suit him. His followers are on the run, so to speak, both in Ohio, Mr. Taft's state and in New York, his own state. He does not desire to suffer a further loss of prestige.

Following an examination of the books of August Ropke, the defaulting assistant secretary of the Fidelity Trust company, of Louisville, KY., a meeting of the company's stockholders was held and it was reported to them by experts that the entire surplus of the company, $1,340,000, had been used in the peculiarities of Ropke. Owing to the fact that there are several millions of dollars behind the institution, the Fidelity will not have to close its doors, although the shortage of Ropke is one of the largest stocks.

The outcome of all of this to our mind cannot but result in good to the political allies on both sides of the contention. What is amusing us most is the apparent disinclination of President Roosevelt to come out in the open as he has formerly been in the habit of doing. He is now maneuvering to winward in order to catch the game off its guard. The man he loft in charge of the Presidency has gone into business for himself and left Mr. Roosevelt in the lurch and the indications are that the same funeral dirge that was sung this week over Hon.

WILD DASH AFTER RUNAWAY HORSE Brave Act on Part of Unknown Negro, Who Thought Not of Danger. Unthoughtful of the fame which might have been blamed, seemingly by giving aid, an unknown negro last night stopped a runaway horse belonging to Loroy Cohen, of 1607 Park Avenue. The vehicle was unoccupied, but the negro did not know this, for he was far behind when he first saw the horse dashing by him. The horse, and he put foot to the pedals and rode as fast as his legs could carry him. Mr. Cohen's horse was being taken to the stable, in Jackson Ward, by a negro boy employed by him, when the bit—a rubber bit, brown, but fitted to the knuckles. As the bit fitted in twain, the animal became thoroughly rightened; and started off. The boy climbed over the back of the vehicle and, dropped to the ground. But the horse ran into Brond Street, crowded at that time of the evening, and after narrowly missing the street cars, turned into Grace Street. All the while the unknown negro was closely pursuing. He could not tell whether the buggy was occupied, and seemed not to think of his own life. As the horse ran, the man and slowed down, the negro jumped from his wheel and caught hold of the bit. The animal broke away from the buggy, which was left on the corner, intact, carrying with him only the highgag, negro gun, and the police police where he was afterwards claimed by Mr. Cohen. He was unhurt. Mr. Cohen said that he had been cut driving with his wife all the afternoon, and had experienced a trouble with the runaway—a broken bit which and the runaway—a broken bit of rubber, which the horse had evidently chewed in half. Mr. Cohen gave the unknown negro a tip for his work, and then the latter disappeared. In the excitement, the man and he vouchsafed no information. Times-Dispatch, July 23, 1916. Ford's Hair Pomade. Soddam is an advertised preparation underestimated, yet strangely it may seem there is, at least, one remedy that we know which is it, given that it is Ford's Hair Ponade, a preparation that has been on the market for over fifty years and during that time, has without a doubt, been the means of helping the color of people more than any other remedy. Ford's Hair Ponade, manufactured by the Okinokan Ox Marrow Company of Chicago, Illinois, is a preparation that will make, harah, kinky hair softer and more pliable, easy to comb and put up in, any style that the longer will be hair. No lady can afford it, her hair is so hard to supply. HOW I WHIPPED MISTAH JEFF. Jack Johnson Tells Kate Carew. Once more, if you please, let us contemplate Mr. Johnson. (Prithoose pass on, pensive highbrow, this page is not for you.) I am not intrigued Mr. Johnson than when I discolored with him three months ago, for by grace of knightly conquest he has become the world's incomparable, sovereign, most formidable and august beater and braveest of men. He did not seem puffed up. If anything, his manier was morp, grave and level-headed than before. "Mr. Johnson," said I, "a great many people who are not at all interested in the technical part of your invention, have expressed some curiosity about the psychological side of it." Mr. Johnson ducked his head, but did not lose confidence. "Yas'm he, purled smoothly, the pay-to-pay—the paycollocabulary side of my invention," he intermingled thing to every refund and educated person, "meg'm." "In your recent affair with Mr. Jeffries," I continued, "there appears to have been in addition to the exchange of blows, a constant ripple of polite conversation." Johnson, it was conversing most pleasantly with Mr. Jeffries, "most all of the time we was in the ring." "Was that your considerate way of making the him pass more agreeably?" I inquired. "Not exactly, ma'am," said Mr. Johnson: "It was to take the other man's mind off his work, so as to catch him casler." Doesn't that seem rather unkind? "Unkind!" repeated Mr. Johnson with a slightly puzzled look, "I do assure you that I was most careful, ma'am, not to say one word to Mr. Jeffries that wasn't strictly gentlemanly." "In the second round," said I, "you said to Mr. Jeffries: 'Don't you rough me. Was that because he had been a gentleman?' No, ma'am, I was only kidding him. And I did get a laff out or him that time." "An ketunl, spontaneous, merry laugh." "Well, no, it wasn't that kind." cofessed Mr. Johnson. "It was more the old thair than the would curdle the morning's milk." And here a very small white gontman spoke up. Hart is his name—Mr. Sig Hart—and he seems to be Mr. Johnson's right hand man, Mr. Johnson. he said unintentionally, in the greatest kiddy in the business." He gave Mr. Johnson a look of such admiration as a toy spankl might feel for an elephant which was not only large and forcible, but very cute. "What was the noest thing he said during the dight?" I inquired encouragingly. "Oh, I don't know he said so many," returned Mr. Hart rumpling his back hair. "I you think, Mr. Johnson." I inquired. "As fur as I can remember," replied Mr. Johnson, looking at the colling, "one of the best jolles I gave' old Jom was when he came into a clinch, and I said, 'Whatchou wantor hug me to, Mr. Jeffries? You know puffily well you don't love me." "And that was a hot one you handed Corbett," exclaimed Little Mr. Hort, "when you sang out to him, 'You'd better come right up here, Jim, and help your man. There were a whole lot of meanings to that, a whole lot that offended you and it meant that you could have taken on Corbett, too, and it meant that you had beaten Corbett at the kidding game. In fact, you fought two men at Reno." "Is the conversational part of it considered so important?" Inquired. "It certainly is, me'u'm, said Mr. Johnson, but it wasn't. Mr. Jeffries had Mr. Corbett to do his kidding for him." A proud and important negress entored with Mr. Johnson's breakfast, which consisted of chickens. Yes, dears, this conversation took place in Darkest Africa. Mr. Johnson was choiz lol, as they say in France. How many chickens! Well, there were to begin with. We had hoped—the professor, the patron or many sports and I—to find Mr. Johnson alone; but a champion, like a monarch, is never alone, and there really was a certain atmosphere of royalty in the clean and whitely decorated hall. Mr. Johnson, watched respectfully and solidistically by many courtiers, chloify white, sat down to eat. "Not a traco of self-consciousness," whispered the professor, "and eating, under observation is a very severe test. The man is either a child or a master of deportment. I'm indoors, under the shelter of the extraordinary economy of welfare." Fully half a chicken had vanished irrevocably and Mr. Johnson, with a lazy air, had seemed merely to wave his hands now, and then. A few swift strokes with a carving knife had dismembered the bird as if by magic, and the whole of the breast had been absorbed in two leisurely moufs following Presley. Presley, speed, graceful rhythm and descriptive air, deliriousation were the keynotes of this saturation, performance. An anaconda absorbing a rabbit couldn't make less loss about itself. Jack, held the patron of maily sports, some of the impure malt that you could not swallow without more entreaty the head. Mr. Johnson opened his eyes very wide suspended for a moment the process of deglutition, and looked plainly at Mr. Hart, as if to say: "What calumnies must not the righteous suffer with! "binding to it!" said Mr. Hart briskly, "He, was kidding and cracking jokes every second." "Were you, honestly, the least little bit nervous at first?" said I to Mr. Johnson. "No, ma'am," said Mr. Johnson solemnly shaking his head. "I woever been nervous in all my life." beloove you, said the professor, sholed up. "Why should I go and get nervous?" continued Mr. Johnson, stripping and devouring the meat from the last drumstick, "when I had just arrived in the very place I had always wanted to be, sitting plumb opposite to my friend, Mr. Joffries, in a twenty-five foot ring!" kicking up the carving he, doomed to eat, the chicken on the dish, hold it shof and eyed it with a hurried smile. "What makes a man nervous," he proclaimed, "is not being satisfied. Ah'm swerve nervous, because Ah'm always satisfied." He transferred the chicken to his platter and placed it with a roast apparently sharpened by the discussion. The waitress reappeared with a third chicken, which she placed before him. The cook would like to know, Mr. Johnson, whether you'll be waning any more chicken," she said defensively. "No, I thank you," said Mr. Johnson ceremoniously, "that'll be about enough a mornin', Miss Lily." And Miss Lily's polished black face was wreathed in smiles as she made her visit, treading on air. The formal of discussion, Mr. Johnson, said I. "about Mr. Jeffries' condition." "Jeff was in grand condition," said Mr. Johnson quickly. "But there seems to be an impression that something had gone wrong with his nervous system." He added, "there, evidently unwilling to part with any of the honors of the victory. "His nerve was all right when he refused to shinko hands," said the black man carrently. "His nerve was all right when he tore the stars and stripe sash off his waist because he refused to shinko hands." When a fighting man's nerve is broke, he wants the other fellow to have a friendly feeling for him. Mr. Joffries was just the other way. He had a fighting edge on. If his nerve hadn't been all right he couldn't have taken the beating he did in the game way he did. No ma'am. Ah take off mah hat to Mr. Jeffries—and his nerve was all right. "You bet it was!" said Mr. Hart, as Mr. Johnson readened himself to what was left of the second chick. "Didn't you feel sorry for him?" I asked. Mr. Johnson looked at me dubiously and ploked a wishbone with some deliberation. "Well," he said, cautiously, "in the thirteenth round I guess I kinder did begin to feel somewhat compunctions." "Is that all?" I persisted. "Is it possible to batter a man on and on, as long as he is able to stand up—to see his eye swollen shut and his face covered with—ugh" do men do that sort of thing, without a momenot. "Mr. Jeffries, and done it many a time," said Mr. Johnson philosophically. "It isn't in the nature of woman to understand fighting," put in the professor oracularly. "Ah guess you're right, doc" said Mr. Johnson, wiping his mouth. And didn't Mr. Jeffries hurt you at all? "Included." "Not in the least, man, am, not in the least," said the big black man. "Ah assure you Ah was in just as good shape when Ah came out of the ring as you see me now. Not a mark on me—was there, Big?" "But," I insisted, "some of the papers said that you grunted once or twice when Mr. Jeffries struck you." Well, Ah may have given you not because Mr. Jeff hurt me. Ah did not see anything coming man way from him that could have caused me any pain." "Say, Jack," asked the patron of manly sports, "what about that left you gave him on the eye in the sixth round, and he been old and old left all to the bad for the rest of the fight. Was that something you calculated?" "No sir," said Mr. Johnson. "I never aim for such a small mark as a man's eye. I never take a target any smaller than my eye and and and and this feature is welcome to get it." With read with great interest, said the professor, "that in the first round you demonstrated your superior strength, by lifting the other person off his feet." "That's right, Moe," said Mr. Johnson, with a cheerful smile. "Was that done with calculation?" "Bure it was," said Mr. Johnson. "You had, determined, on it. be forehand!" "Tessir—because I know that, it would take the heart out of him," "And could you judge whether it was the right thing?" "I," "marries kinder willed," "sold Mr. Johnborn," "and his face," "went fanny. Here—I'll, show you how I done it, doe, and then you'll know how it feels." "His nose knew the taste and the smell." rose somewhat hesitantly, "sprang it on him," exclaimed Mr. Johnson. "In the first clutch when he started in to rough it som. Come on, doc." It "I'm a little doubtful, as to the demonstration, said the professor, 'Did you—sh—hug him very hard?' "No, I didn't bug him none," said Mr. Johnson. "I only took him like this—it won't hurt, doc." And, placing his fingers under the professor's elbows, he lifted him into the air as lightly, as if he—the professor, not Mr. Johnson—had been made of bamboo. "Bloss my soul!" exaculated the professor, gazing into Mr. Johnson's face. "No, you're nothing like Mr. Jeffries's weight—about twocolls of it. I should say," continued Mr. Johnson, depositing the professor on his feet. "The sensation is remarkable," said the professor to me. "I never experienced a feeling or such utter helpbiasness, with the disuplacing of an overwhelming force. No worry about Joffre's face 'want funny,' as our interesting friend expresses it." "I'm curious to know, Mr. Johnson," said I, as Mr. Johnson went back to his chicken, "how you think you would have competed with John Sullivan, in that gentleman's prime." "Mah dear lady," said Mr. Johnson pityingly, "if you knew anything about the game as it's played to day, you wouldn't need to ask any-such questions as that. Mr. Bullivan was a great man in his 40s, and he kindly cultured and kindly old gentleman, but his style of fighting wouldn't go for a minute in these days." "Do you mess," I inquired, "that you could beat Mr. Sullivan as he was at his very best?" "Yas'm," said Mr. Johnson. "As easily as you beat Mr. Jeffgess!" "I am afraid it might be some easier," said Mr. Johnson, with due deliberation. "But the business of pummelling people," said I, "is so old and simple that"— "Simpletl" exclaimed the patron of manly sports. "Simpletl" echoed Mr. Johnson and Mr. Sig. Hart. And they proceeded to explain to me what a very complex art modern and ancient, and why and why the pummeral has to use his brain, and if they hadn't all talked together the professor and I might have learned a great deal about it, but as it was we looked at each other in helpless bewilderment. There seemed to be something about "long-arm work" and "short-arm work" and I did gather in a fashion that I had been developed in recent years and was speedier and more buffling than the older methods. "Jim Corbett invented a new style of boxing," said the patron or manly sports, "but Jack Johnson has gone him one better. He has framed up entirely new ways of stopping blows. Instead of waiting to block them with the heaches on the fly, as if they were baseball's." "Is that very clever?" I inquired. "Clover? Why, it takes a speed of eye and brain and hand that is simply marvellous! And another trick he has developed is to stop a blow while marvellous! And another prodding the front muscle of his opponent's shoulder with the tips of his fingers—can't that right, Jack?" "Yup," grinned Mr. Johnson, through a mouthful of chicken. "That'll take all the steam out of the biggest wallop." "You must have worked very hard at your profession," said I to Mr. Johnson. "Yasim," said Mr. Johnson, molestly. "I've worked hard at it ever since I was a child." "You've been hungry and cold at it, too, haven't you, Jack?" said the patron of manly sports. "Lord, yes!" said Mr. Johnson. "I don't believe I ever got really enough to cut as a regular institution until I became a businessman. It certainly is wonderful, the way my strength has been building up since then!" And he heaved a sigh of happy repletion as he surveyed the devastated skoloton of the third chicken. I looked at Mr. Johnson, hero and idol of his race, and wondered in what way civilization could have used him to such a profession as prize-fighting, Cool, crazy, patient, ambitious and immensely strong, courageous and quick, he seems to have been especially moulded for fighting in some individual form. His singularly flat head—it slopes almost without an angle from the eyebrows back to the cone-shaped crown—might have been by design in action—as his sparing exhibition at Hammersmith that afternoon—he has a weirdly repellant way of drawing down that flat head between his prodigious shoulders and anon protruding it and phying it swiftly from side to side like a huge turtle. "Mr. Johnson," said I, "what do you think of the popular theory that in being Mr. Jeffries you would be washing the supremacy of the white race." "Why, I haven't got much patience with that kind of talk, ma'm," said Mr. Johnson, with lazy good humor. "I kindler think the white race will get along with its finance, and its architecture and its literature and whose telegraphy, just as much as his music, is my favorite for its beating. Mr. Jeffries. The great-eating animal known is *gorilla*. Me'n, strong and savage that a grown-up one was, never, captured alive. If a gorilla was shut up in a room with me and Mr. Jeffries, me'm it would kill us, both, but that wouldn't prove that the gorilla race was better than the human race." I wondered if that happy thought was Mr. Johnson's own, but didn't at his feet danced a few shuffling steps, not unsuccessfully. "Give us a tune on your saddle, Jack!," said the matron of mainly sports. "May!" exclaimed Mr. Johnson, with astonishment. "We just wondered what I wanted that we were M!" He went into an adjoining room and returned with a bass viol almost an large, as himself. "He doesn't play soles on it, does ha!" unstained the professor. "Walt till you see," said Mr. Hart. "Most people like those small daddies," said Mr. Johnson, upologued, "but all we've taken to this kind, because they don't break so easy." He played something "It was probably a tune, but anyhow it really had a thrilling effect. It thrilled the chandleror and the teeth in one's head. And by and by Mr. Johnson turned up his eyes and sang. That is, he intoned in a, doopy jugularous voice, accompanied by the spasmoid zoom-zoom, the instrument, three-horned moral and verses, of which the refrain ran: "You may roam the whole world through, From Chiny to Peru. But you'll never find another friend like M-o-o-other!" We all congratulated him warmly on his performance, and the professor believed that he had an engagement. "Is your mother very proud of you!" I asked Mr. Johnson, as we prepared to go. "Yas'm, indeed also is," he replied, evenly, "but she'd be just as proud of me than 'won the champion or nothing.'" What They Say About the Fight What They Say About the Fight Former Manager of Jeffries. Reno, July 4.—"There wasn't anything to the fight. It was Johnson all the way through. He had Jeffries beaten from the start. Jeffries wasn't himself, nor anything like himself, and he collapsed even quicker than I had expected he would, judging from all that I had seen, regard to his condition. He never as such as marked Johnson, and the champion rode back to his trailing quarters with no more damage than if he had been fighting a lightweight. I did not think it would be so easy." BY CHARLIE HARVEY. Manager of Owen Moran. "It was a bitter blow to more than one, but you can't say anything about it except that the potter man won, and it was not much of a show for people who had traveled thousands of miles to witness the battle. Jeffries wasn't any part of himself as we used to know him in New York. He didn't the great reserve strength which once made him a champion." BY TEN RICKARD "It was the first time that I ever referred a prize fight. I did not see anything very difficult about the task. I did not have anything very hard to do. I only broke the mon twice during the battle, and both times they separated from hearing it. I do not think it was wrong. In fact, it looked to me rather time, with Johnson the better all the way through. BY TOM SHARKEY. "I don't want to say any thing disparaging about Jeff, but I think that I could have made a better showing myself. He was no more the Joffries who fought me than if Joffrey never had fought me. And his disjointed fight, though, is that it's the fight for a world's championship that ever took place." . BY FRANK GOTCH. "Honestly I thought Jeff was stronger. I wrestled and roughed it with him at his training quarters, and he appeared to me to have his hand on him. He rounded the ninth round today he was all in. He was gritty and stuck it out as best he could, but he did not have the endurance" the Joffries we knew before him. "I would say one thing—Johnson did not hit the Jeff who joked Fitzslimmons." BY BOB FITZSIMMONS. "Honestly, had I known what I was going to see what I did I would have劝. Reno off my map. It was a far poor fight for a heavyweight championship than. I expected. Jeff did not seem to be able to get his man at all. In only one round did he fail, although his old aggrievedness. He lot Johnson close in too much at the start and the negro kept hamming away at his right arrow until it was closed. From that time on Jeff had all the worst of it. I am willing to take my hat off to a good fight and a good fighter, but I can't see where the negro gets a lot of credit for boating a man really outfitted and well trained. I shame that Jeff should lose after his great record as a fighter, but he could not stand off that black." BY ZEKE ABRAM8. "Johnson is a great deal smarter than he is credited with being. The negro is not a fool in spite of his cowiness and his desire to throw big words. I don't say that Joff was at his best, but don't believe that he was, but he. I do say that nine-tenths of the ordeal and fighting experts never gave Johnson credit for besesing a computer. I don't believe in the wheels when he is in the prize ring."

BY CHARLEY WHITE "You can't take anything away from Johnson. You have to give him credit for the clean manner in which he handled himself in the ring, his continual good nature, his refusal to be battered by the side talk with Jeff, his cleverness with Jeff's corner, his cleverness with his hands and the careful manner in which he refrained from putting his title in jeopardy. He was clean in his fighting from start to finish. He took no unfair advantages and was honestly the most honestly. As for Jeff, well I think the worst conditioned I man I ever saw enter a ring for the heavyweight championship. BY TOM FLANAGAN. "It's all over, Johnson won the love in affair and squarer fight. None will deny that. The negro told me that he never felt the sting of a single blow during the fight, he said. He would have done no more damage than he did in fifteen rounds. He left Johnson laughing and joking and I want to say that every word he uttered was in praise of Jeff. He said Jeff fought him Jike a man, but insisted that he never could lick him. $150.00 Endowment Paid.

Duncan of the Savannah Regiment of coast artillery had been The Dead O not leave us the hope of the poor to see that we are ed were in the gun war in the prairie in the boat in the not been in the replice Most of the people be in the before in the and now in the before in the of constant art Few lasts well in the practice when the war The hope of the poor paints at two times tug for us at the time fifty shades we wear the time the time we wear and the time we wear Many years ago in the news and news wilt what it has been Rants to witness what we have witnessed the greatest target of the character that has been attempted anew where saw the aim. It was the most horrible for the reason that wives at children of several of the men killed no danger having been exposed were permitted to see the target principle. A number of them witnessed the action. The explosion was probably due to the premature location of a powder charge in which the breadth of a twelve-inch gun and powder were blown to the rear. Stain as he Stept in Hammock Former Mayor A H. Hoodman of Ridgeway. Va was assassinated by means of a dynamic bomb which was thrown from the street under a hand mock in which he was wounded. No (due to the) part of the mur-defier or the cause of the crime has been found! Mr. Houseman had been spending the hot evening shopping in a hammock swing between two trees on the lawn in front of his residence. With out a word of warning at about 10 o'clock the dynamic bomb was thrown by someone passing along the street it landed in the hammock at his feet and in an instant exploded. Houseman's feet were torn away by the bursting shell and his legs frightfully mutilated in great agony he died an hour later. Although the town authorities made every effort to discover the assassin, no clue could be found and it is believed he escaped without being seen by any one. The news quickly spread about town and excitement grew to a high pitch. As mayor of Ridgeway Mr Bouseman presided over the pulley court of the town trying petty cases. It is thought that some person upon whom Bouseman in his court had passed sentence of punishment held a grudge against him and had been awaiting an opportunity to wreak vengeance on him. The opportunity came as Bouseman lay sleeping in the open air. The terrific report attracted many persons to the scene, but the excitement was as great that apparently no one thought to search for the asses- The Y M C A Conference was a five number last Friday evening. The men enjoyed the debate Subject Resolved That Women Should Vote Affirmative Messors W H Cary and L Johnson Negative Messors Bennett L Allen and Win Brown It was a great effort Negative won.
