Editor Scenes in New O A Minister's P in a Southern for the R PEOPLE NEVER (Continued From Last Week.) We visited the office of the Southwestern Christian Advocate at 631 Baronne Street and found there model office rooms. Mr. Robert E. Jones had not come down but his representative greeted us cordially. We met him however later and regretted much that we could not remain longer in New Orleans to accept the hospitalities which he kindly extended to us. REGISTER COHEN HOLDS OFFICE We called at the United States Custom House, and we found Hon. Walter L. Cohen Register of the Land Office busy. A white gentleman of a most genial disposition showed us to his office and we were cordially greeted by him. Despite his effort to be aloof, it was evident that he was working under pressure and that he was much worried. A promised re-appointment had not come. He voiced no complaint, but seemed determined to do his duty. He has given general satisfaction and he appears to be the lone colored man who has a representative position and as yet remains in the service. We made an engagement with him for one o'clock at the Chicago Hotel and he met us there. MR. SMITH AND HIS HOTEL Mr. A. O. Smith, proprietor of the Chicago Hotel is a remarkable character. His hostelry is a qualint structure, admirably handled and kept as "clean as a pin." He told us that he has facilities for the accommodation for about 150 people, when he had it filled to its utmost capacity. He served a first-class meal and his prices are reasonable. He not only had rooming space for well-nigh a quarter of the block, but on the other side of the street as well. VISITING IN NEW ORLEANS. We hired two carriages for the purpose of seeing the city Monday night, 26th alt. and Judge J. Madison Vance, his young friend and Mr. J. H. Denson. We visited the Y. M. C. A. and we met Mrs. Denson and family. The building is a large frame structure. We met Mr. Alexs ander Ross, colored, who is with the Hart Jewelry Company and who is said to be an expert judge of diamonds and their value. We met also Mr. Harvey A. Onque, Mr. J. R. Youreue, Mr. Thomas Banks. THE SALOONS FOR THE RACES Mr. H. E. Braden conducts a saloon and he seemed to be doing a good business. In this city bars on saloons are provided for white and colored people. If a white saloon is on one corner, in most cases a colored saloon will be found on the opposite corner. We met Mr. J. E. Willis, dentist, and Mr. Charles Eugene a porter on the Southern Pacific ONE STORY HOUSES On Tuesday morning, Rev J. Madison young, formerly of Norfolk, but now pastor of the African Baptist Church called to see us at the Chicago Hotel. We secured a carriage and determined to see more of New Orleans. It may be well to state that colored people in New Orleans live for the most part in one story framehouses. We wandered for many blocks looking at these structures which appeared to be located in many instances in the "tenderloin" district of the city. Here and there the sameness was broken by more tasty residences. MR. GREEN'S OFFICE. We were not favorably impressed with the city as compared with the larger ones of the country. We visited the residence of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green. He is admirably located and his office is at his residence where his Madame is the presiding genius. She shows executive ability and everything appeared to be well kept. They are located near the central portion of the city. The residence is two stories. Mr. Green was not in the city. A MINISTER'S PREDICAMENT Rev. J. Madison Young has a cost home and it is well kept. He and his congregation are building a new church. In this city it is only necessary to dig a few feet below the surface in order to find water. A good foundation cannot be easily obtained and this fact is given as a reason for so many one story houses. Rev. Young stated that to this cause he attributed many of his financial troubles. It seems that his plans had been drawn and the cost of the building ascertained. When he commenced building it was necessary to go far below the surface in order to get a sure foundation for the brick structure. THE STREETS OF-THE CITY. When he had expended as much money as he thought the building would cost, the structure was not many feet above the surface. Canal Street, though will compare favorably with other similar streets in the country, while the wide boulevards with their tropical plants, noticeably palms, are magnificent evidences of the city's beauty. We had heard so much talk about the cemeteries of the city and of the fact that the grave yards were above the surface that we decided to visit them. Our driver was well posted with reference to the points of interest in this quaint southern city. VISIT TO THE CEMETERY. We visited the Old St. Louis Cemetery. It is the oldest one in New Orleans. The driver spoke to an aged colored man, who walked in a bent posture. He consented to show us through the cemetery remarking as he started, "Me speak bad English." There were tombs everywhere above the ground. Most of those pointed out had been there since the year 1700. He pointed to one of a pirate telling in his mixture of French and English about the history of the man who occupied it. CLOTHING & COFFIN REMOVED These tombs are sealed. We learned ed from him that poor people do not remain very long in these vaults. To be exact, in reply to our suery, he said that they remained there a year and a day. Then the vault is opened and the coffin and clothing are taken out and the bones of the persor shoved further back to the extreme end of the vault to make room for another corpse. We could not understand how this was done so the dark-skinned colored man, who spoke French better than he did English told us that he would show us a tomb which had been just opened to receive another dead body. In his shambling sort of way, he led us to a vault and he hurriedly took down the bricks at the entrance in a manner which indicated a familiarity that comes with years of service. "Look, see there," he said. "See bones? One, two, three. See head. One bust open." Sure enough we stooped and peered into the recesses of that tomb. Away to the further end were bones. We saw the skulls, and yet there was absolutely no offensive odor. We started away and the old cemetery keeper left it open remarking that the corpse would be brought there at 6 o'clock that evening. We saw two colored females of yellow complexion. We would have taken them to be Americans, speaking English and to be found in any Negro quarter in any city. But they spoke French and the cemetery keeper responded with ease in their language. He spoke good French, but bad English as he had before stated. NEGRO JUST THE SAME They hurried to the tomb that we had just left. We passed on. "Some bury at night," said he, "they black, Negroes. They marry, their children get lighter and lighter. Then they say they white. No longer Negroes. They hide the head stones, brick RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1910 YOU ARE DUR GUEST UP FROM SLAVERY WELCOME American Syndicate Co., St. Augustine, Fla.

As the old cemetery keeper of dark complexion would pass other tombs, he would repeat substantially the same language.

He showed us a mammoth mausoleum with the vanitas all numbered. He told us that of a whole re-iment only two remained alive and they had been brought in chairs to gaze upon the last resting place of their comrades, the place where their bones too would rest until the morning of the general resurrection. WALLS CONTAIN VAULTS The walls enclosing the cemetery were approximately eight feet thick and investigation developed the fact that they contained vaults too in which rested the bones of many. We saw too a place where the clothing and coffin of one of the bodies had been recently burned. This air, this atmosphere in New Orleans is unlike that in cities further North. It dries the flesh on a carcass and this takes place, too, with comparatively no odor. Where a body would last even with decomposition setting in, for many months, down here, it would dry up and shrivel and leave only a small pile of bones as a legacy to the family. BONES THROWN OUT The old caretaker showed us a mansole, and he explained that after a time the bones are taken out of the vault, placed in a bag or sack labelled with the name of the person and thrown out or placed in a pit or cellar under the structure. Poorer classes of people have a resting place for a year and a day and then their bones are thrown out or placed in a pit where the wasting process goes on and the remains become the veritable dust of the earth.

HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The Fifth Street Baptist Church enjoyed a lovely day last Sunday. Pastor Dr. W. F. Graham was present after an absence of five feeks. He told some of the incidents connected with his trip, and the pleasure he had on his vacation. He preached a lovely sermon Sunday morning. Subject: Heaven's Society." references to various societies, their modes and customs, he showed as far as practicable duty of those who are members of and endeavoring to become members of Heaven's Society. He preached an extra good sermon, which was enjoyed by all present. At night he preached another good sermon, subject: "The Servant With One Talent." In the morning among the ministers present were Rev. W. H. Watkins, who was in charge of pulpit during the Pastor's vacation; Revs. C. M. Long and E. D. McCreary, students of Union University and Rev. W. M. Johnson. The entire services of the day were fine and well attended. (Sunday School Sunday morning showed an increase numerically. The officers and teachers were present. A good number of whom were present on time. Those tardy gave excuses for same; those absent sent reasonable excuses. As we said in our last issue there is no good reason why officers and teachers should not generally be present at 9:30 o'clock. In the future punctuality will be closely observed by the Fifth Street Baptist Sunday School. Those who will come shall come and proceed on time. Superintendent, Prof. B. H. Peyton opened the school Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock sharp. The motto text now is, "Punctuality must be observed and practiced by officers and teachers especially." Come out Sunday morning on time. Pastor W. F. Graham was present and made a few encouraging remarks along this line, as well as telling some encouraging things seen on his vacation. He will tell the school more about punctuality and his trip next Sunday morning and in the future—Estelle D. Ward.) . . . Be on time at Prayer Service next Wednesday night. Arrangements are made for a grand time. Come out and get your spiritual strength renewed. This is a department to which the Fifth Street Bapt.

There is no weather or circumstances which should prevent Christians from assembling themselves together for prayer and supplication to God. Ask and it shall be given, is a great command.

Dr. Creditt of Philadelphia, wants him the 2nd Sunday in November; Dr. A. Gordon, of Philadelphia, in a great meeting from the 4th to the 16th inst.; Dr. I. Tolliver, of Washington, D.

W. Browne birthday celebration the 20th inst. and still the invitations come. But our Pastor is only one man and cannot answer all these calls.

Debt Clearing Rally of Third Street A. M. E. Church. Third Street A. M. E. Church is now in the midst of a financial campaign among its members and friends for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to clear the Church of debt and lay the foundation for needed improvements. Members are making definite pledges in varying amounts to be paid on or before November 13th, the beginning of the Rally Week, when they hope to raise $1200.00. The membership is showing great interest and many are soliciting funds to take stock in the rally. For amounts of twenty-five cents or more, they write and present certificates of stock, in the good will and best wishes of the Church. In this way due credit will be given to every contributor. A series of events will mark the rally week, which will doubtless be both entertaining and helpful to the community. DUVALL—Rev. C. M. Duvall departed this life in the Virginia Hospital, Richmond, Virginia, September 30, 1910. He was a member of the County Line Baptist Church, Pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Louisa Co. Va.

"Call him in," said Clyde quickly. "I want to meet him. He looks just my sort." And accordingly Emerson motioned to the fisherman. Seeing there was no help for it, Big George composed himself and ventured timidly across the portal. "Glime a lemonade, quick; I'm all het up," he ordered. "I can't get no footoil on these fancy floors, they're so dang slick." "Mr. Clyde offers to put $10,000 into the deal he can go to Kalvik with and help run the cannery," explained Emerson. George looked over the clubman carefully from his curly crown to his slender, high heeled shoes, then Gumiled broadly. "It's up to Mr. Emerson. I'm willing to he la." Whereupon, vastly encouraged, Clydo offended to expatriate upon his own surpassing qualifications. While he was spanking a party of three men approached and seated themselves at an adjoining table. As they pulled out their chairs Big George chanced to glance in their direction, then put down his lemonade glass carefully. "What's the matter?" Boyd demanded in a low tone, for the big fellow's face had suddenly gone livid, while his eyes had widened like those of an caraged animal. "That's him!" George growled. "That's the dirty hound!" "Sit still!" commanded Emerson. "Don't make a fool of yourself," he cautioned. "That's him!" repeated George, his eyes glaring redly. "That's Willis Marsh." "Where?" Emerson whirled curiously, but there was no need for George to point out his enemy, for one of the strangers stood as if frozen, with his hand upon the back of his chair, an expression of the utmost astonishment upon his face. A smile was dying from his lips. Boyd beheld a plump, thickset man of thirty-okht in evening dress. Thares MEYER DON'T OFFER ME YOUR HAND: IT'S RHYTHM. was nothing distinctive about him except, perhaps, his hair, which was of a decided reddish hue. He was light of complexion; his mouth was small and of a rather womanish appearance, due to the full red lips. He was well groomed, well fed; in all ways he was a typical city bred man. Raising his brows in recognition, he nodded pleasantly to Balt, then, as if on second thought, excused himself to his companions and stepped toward the other group. "How do you do, George? What in the name of goodness are you doing here? I hardly recognized you." Marshal's voice was round and musical, his accent eastern. With an assumption of heartiness, he extended a white gloved hand, which the big, uncount man who faced him refused to take. The other three had risen. George seemed to be groping for a retort. Finally he blurted out hoarsely: "Don't offer me your hand. It's dirty! It's got blood on it!" "Nonsense!" Marah smiled. "Let's be friends again. George. Byronne are biggone." "You dirty rat!" breathed the fisherman. "Very well. If you wish to be obstinate"—Wills Marah shrugged his shoulders carelessly, although in his voice then was a melancholy way. Bolt and I had a business misunderstanding" he said emptily to Emerson "which I hoped was forgotten. It didn't amount to much"— At this, Bolt uttered a choking snarl and, stepped forward, only to meet Boyd, who intercepted him. "Behave yourself" he ordered. "Don't make a scene." And before the big-fellow could prevent it, he had linked arms with him and swung him around. The movement was executed so naturally that some of the patrons of the cast notice the exact partnership between bowed crilly, and returned to his seat. Altos. Outside clamored for all lighteness, as to his reason for this war. Clyde spoke earnestly, "Well, that absolutely settles it as far as I am concerned. This is bound to end in a row." "You mean you don't want to join us?" "Don't want to Why. I've just got to that's all. The $10,000 is yours." A month had clapped when Emerson at last expressed to George the discouragement that had lain alently in both men's minds. "You've played your string out, ch'f. "Absolutely. I've done everything except burglary, but I can't raise that $100,000. Times are hard, and I've bled my friends of every dollar they can spare." "I's an awful big piece of money," Balt admitted, with a sigh. "I never fully realized before how very large," Boyd said. "And yet without that amount the Seattle bank won't back us for the remainder." "Oh, it's no use to tackle the business on a small scale." Big George pondered. "We'd ought to be on the coast now. We're shy $25,000, eh? "Yes." But the clouds were blown away a few days after when Alton Clyde throw down twenty-five $1,600 bills before Boyd-e got from a mysterious source which he refused to name. Emerson later met the leading editor (aside from himself) of Midway Land's hand, a personage whose existence he felt as a continued menace. He was visiting Midred at her home. Hearing voices outside the library, the young man asked hurriedly: "Give me some time alone with you, my lady. I must leave early." There was time for no more, for Wrayo Wayland entered, followed by another gentleman at the first sight of whom Emerson started, while his mind raced off into a dizzy whirl of incredulity. It could not be! It was too grotesque—too ridiculous! What prank of malicious fate was this? He turned his eyes to the door again to see if by any chance there were a third visitor, but there was not, and he was forced to respond to Mr Wayland's greeting. The other man had meanwhile stepped directly to Mildred, as if he bad eyes for no one else, and was bowing over her hand when her father spoke. "Mr. Emerson, let me present you to Mr. Marsh. I believe you have never happened to meet here." Marsh turned as if reluctant to release the girl's hand, and not until his own was outstretched did he recognize the other. The two mumbled the customary salutations. "You two will get along famously," said Mr. Wayland. "Mr. Marsh is acquainted with your country, Boyd." "Ah!" Marsh exclaimed quickly "Are you an Alaskaan, Mr. Emerson?" "Indeed, he is so wedded to the country that he is going back tomorrow," Mildred offered. Marsh's first look of challenge now changed to one of the liveliest interest, and Boyd imagined the fellow endeavoring to link him, through the affair at the restaurant, with the presence of Big George in Chicago. "Yes," Boyd answered cautiously, "I am a typical Alaskan—disappointed, but not discouraged." "What business?" "Mining!" "Oh! indifferently." "Boyd has something far better than mining now," began Mildred. "He was telling me about it as"— "You interrupted us," interjected Emerson, pants stricken. "I didn't have time to explain the nature of my enterprise." The girl was about to put in a disclainer when he flashed a look at her which she could not help but beed. "I am very stupid about such things," she offered easily. "I would not have understood it. I am sure." To her father she continued, leaving what she felt to be dangerous ground, "I didn't look for you so early." "We finished sooner than I expected," Mr. Wayland answered, "so I drove Willis to his hotel and waited for him to dress. I was afraid he might disappoint us if I let him out of my sight. My dear, I have offered a wonderful deal today." went on her father. "With the help of Mr. Marsh I closed the last details of a consolidation which has occupied me for many months." "Another treat. I suppose." "Certain people might call it that," chuckled the old man. "Willis was the inspiring genius and did most of the work; the credit is his." "May I inquire the nature of this merger?" Emerson ventured. "Certainly," replied Wayne Wayland. "There is no longer any secret about it. I have combined the picking industries of the Pacific coast under the North American Packers association." Boy felt himself growing numb. "What do you mean by 'packing industries'?" asked filled. dustries!" asked Milford. "Canneries - sailfish - faberites! We own 60 per cent of the plants of the entire coast, including Alaska. That's why I've been so keen about that north country, Boyd. You never greeted it, eh?" "No, sir." Boyd stammered. "Well, we control the supply, and we will regulate the market. We will allow only what competition we desire. It was a beautiful transaction." "Was he dreaming?" Boyd wondered. His mouth was dry, but he managed to be quiet: "Where about the independent companies?" "Maybe assigned." "There is no more." meet in business! There are about as per cent too many plants to admit us I believe I am capable of attending to them." Mr. Marsh is the general manager, Wayland explained, "With the market in our own hands and sufficient capital to operate at a loss for a year or two years, if necessary. I don't think the independent plants will cost us much." Now for the first time Emerson realized the impropriety of his own position. He was here in the Wayland home under false pretenses; they had baped to him secrets not rightly his with which he might arm himself. When this, too, became known to the financier he would egregiously him, and imprisonment him, but as a traitor. Boyd knew the old tyrant too well to doubt his course of action; therefore there would be war to the blit. The announcement of dinner interrupted his dismayed reflections, and he walked in company with Mr. Wayland, who-linked arms with him as if to afford Willis Marsh every advantage, fleeing though it might prove. "He is a wonderful fellow," the old gentleman observed soo vce, indicating Marsh "one of the keenest business men I ever met." "Yes?" "Indeed he is. He is a money maker, too; his associates swear by him. If I were you, my boy. I would study him; he is a good man to imitate." At the dinner table the talk 'sth first was general and of a character appropriate for the hour, but Miss Wayland, oddly enough, displayed such an unusual thirst for information regarding the North American Packers' association that her father was moved to remark upon it. "What in the world has come over you, Mildred?" he said. "You never cared to hear about my doings before." "Please don't discourage me," she urged. "I am really in earnest. I should like to know all about this new trust of yours. Perhaps my little universe is growing a bit tiresome to me." "So far it has been all hard work," Wayne Wayland at length announced, "but in the future I propose to derive some pleasure from this affair. I am tired out. For a long time I have been planning a trip somewhere, and now I think I shall make a tour of inspection in the spring and visit the various holdings of the North American Packers' association. In that way I can combine recreation and business." "How far will you go?" questioned Boyd. "Clear up to Mr. Marsh's station." "Kalvik" "Yes; that is the plan," Marsh chimed in. "You see, I am selfless in urging it, Miss Wayland. I expect you to join the party." "I am sure you would like it, Mildred," the magnate added. Boyd could scurvey before his ears. Would they come to Kalvik? Would they all assemble there in that unmanned nook? And, supposing they should, had he the courage to continue his mad enterprise? It was all so unreal. He was torn between the desire to have Mildred agree and fear of the influence Marsh might gain during such a trip. But Miss Wayland evidently had an eye to her own comfort, for she replied "No indeed! The one thing I abhor abore land travel is a sea voyage; I am a wretched sailor." "But this trip on a yacht would be worth while urged her father." "Why, it will be a regular voyage of discovery. I am as excited over it as a country boy on circus day." Marsh seconded him with all his powers of persuasion, but the girl, greatly to Emerson's surprise, merely regretted her determination. "Are there any women in Alaska?" questioned the girl. "In the mining camps, yes; but we fishermen live lonely lives." "But the car, shrinking Indian molds? I have read about them." "They are terrible affairs," Marsh declared. "Not always!" Boyd gave voice to his general annoyance. "I have seen some very attractive squaws, particularly breeds." "Where?" demanded the other. "Well, at Kulvik, for instance—your home. You must know Chakawana, the girl they call 'the snowbird?'" "No." "Come, comel! She knows you well." "Ah, a mystery! He is concealing something!" erased Wayland. CHAPTER VIII MARSH directed a sharp glance at Boyd before answering. "I presume you refer to Constantino's sister. I was speaking generally. Of course there are exceptions. As a matter of fact I wasn't exactly right when I said we had no white women whatsoever at Kalkil. Mr. Emerson doubtless has met Cherry Malotte." "I have, acknowledged Boyd. 'Bho was very kind to us.'" "Oh, delightful! Excalimed Mildred. 'First a beautiful indian girl, now a mysterious white woman! Why! There is nothing mysterious about the white woman.' said Marsh. 'She is quite typical—just a plain mining camp hanger-on who drifted down our way.'" "Not at all." Boyd disclaimedly grimly. "Miss Malotte is a foum woman; then at Marsh's short laugh. 'And her conduct bears favorable comparison with that of the other white people at Kalkil.' Marsh allowed his eyes to waver to a this, but to Mildred he apologized. "She is not the sort one cares to discuss." "How, do you know?" demanded Cherry's champion: "Do you know anything against her character?" "Know she, is a disturbing element in Kelvyk and has caused us a great deal of trouble." "It was Boyd's turn to laugh." "But surely that has nothing to do with her character." "My eyes, yellow," Marsh shrugged, the unwieldy apologetically—if I had trained her, she was a friend of vengeance." much would be better when he was The family was blinded and sad. Wayland had loved for his favorite claim so Milton rose, and Boyd companied him, leaving the others to smoke. But strongly enough, Marsh remained in such a state of prooccupation, even after their departure, that Mr. Wayland's attempts at conversation elicited only the vaguest and shortest of answers. In the music room Mildred turned upon Boyd. "Why didn't you tell me about this woman before?" "I did think of her." "And yet she is young, beautiful, refined, lyrical, a romance sort of existence, and entertained you"—the tossed her head seated at the table, and saw Idle notes, inquiring casually. "Kalvik is the name of the place you are going, isn't it?" "It is." "I suppose you will see a great deal of this—Cherry Mottote." "Undoubtedly inasmuch as we are partners." "Partnerin": "Midjec" ceased playing and swung about. "What do you mean?" "She is interested in this enterprise. The cannery site is here." "I see! After a moment, "Does this now affair of father's have any particular effect on your plans?" "Yes and no," in answered, feeling again the weight of this last complication, forgotten for the moment. "What do you wish me to do?" "Nothing, only for the present please don't mention my scheme either to him or to Mr. Marsh. I am a bit uncertain as to my course. You see, it "PARTNER! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" means so much to me that I can't bear to give it up, and yet it may lend, to great—unpleasantness." She nodded comprehensively. On that very night, in a little snow anothered, "cute crouch climbing close against the Kalypt blues, another girl was scared at a bird. His arm, white fingers had strapped upon the notes of a song which Baird Emerson had sung. In her dream ill-fitted eyes was the picture of a rough garbed, silent man at her shoulder, and in her cars with the sound of his voices. Clear to the last meeting note she played the air, and then a puffish coo shook her. She bowed her golden head and hid her face in her arms, for a memory was upon her, a forgotten kiss was hot and then a cold kiss was cold. At the hotel Emerson found Cydia and Frager in Bairt's room awaiting him. They were noisy and excited at the success of the enterprise and at the prospect of immediate action. Boyd told them little of the news that had startled him earlier in the evening beyond the bare fact that Marsh had floated a packers' trust and that, secretly for the present was now doubly necessary to the success of their undertaking. The full significance of the merger, therefore, did the strike his associates, even when on the train the next day they read the announcement of the information in the newspapers. But alone took notice of it and fell into a furious rage at his enemy's success. No sooner were they fairly under way for the west than Emerson began the-definite shaping of his plans. He and George carefully went over the many details of their coming work and sent many messages, with the result that outfitters in a dozen lines were awaiting them when they arrived in Seattle. Without loss of time Boyd installed himself and his friends at a hotel, secured a competent and close-mouthed stenographer, and then sought out the banker with whom he had made a tentative agreement before going to Chicago. "Mr. Hillard greeted him highly," he said. "I "gave you to have carried out your part of the program," said he, "but we definitely commit ourselves we should like to know what effect this new trust is going to have on the canning business." "You mean the N. A. P. A.?" "Precisely. Our Chicago correspondent can't tell us any more than we have learned from the press—namely, that a combination has been formed. We are naturally somewhat cautious about financing a competitive plant until we know what policy the trust will pursue." Hero was exactly the complication Boyd had feared; therefore it was with some trepidation that he argued: "The trust is to business for the money, and its very formation ought to be conciliatory evidence of your good judgment. However, you have booked, so many plants such as mine, that you know as well as I do the big profits to be taken." "That isn't the point. Ordinarily we would not waver, an instant, but the Wayland-Marsh oil is to upset conditions. If we only knew?" "I know," bodily, declared Boyce, "me. Wayland outfitted the policy, to me before the public knew anything about the trust." "Indeed?" Any one acquainted with Wayne Wayland "stated" Mr. Biffeld, with a new look at currently his own, "know him well." "Ah, I congratulate you." Biffeld "But I am not at liberty to discuss the young man replied creatively. 'I have taken shape to sell my own business in advance.' The commission men will be in town shortly, and I shall contract for the entitlement at a stipulated price, is that satisfactory. 'Entitled so, declared Mr. Hilliard heartily, 'Go ahead and order your machinery and supplies.' By the way what do you know, about the mineral possibilities of the region back of Kalvik?' "Not much, the country, is new. There is a—woman at Kalvik who has some men out prospecting." "Cherry Malette?" "Do you know her?" asked Boyd "Do you, know her?" asked Boyd with astonishment. "Very well, indeed!" Then, nothing Boyd's evident curiosity, he went on. "You see, I have hado a number of mining investments in the north. My operations have turned out so well that I keep several men just to follow new strikes." Has Mis Maletto made a strike? "Are exactly but also uncovered some promising copper prospectus." "Hi'm! That is news to me." Three weeks passed quickly in stronuous effort, and then one morning the partners awoke to the realization that there was little more for them to do. Through it all Clyde had lent them euthalistic if feeble assistance, and now that the strain was off he gave fitting expression to his delight by getting drunk. Being temperamental to a degree, he craved company, and, knowing full well the opposition he would encounter from his friends, he annexed a bibulous following of loafers whose time hung heavy and who wore at all times eager to applaud a loose tongue so long as it was accompanied by a loose purse. Toward midnight "Fingerticks" Fraser, cruising in a nocturnal search for adventure and profit, found him in a semiminidah state, descending vaporously to his room upon etching attention to the Kalvik fisheries anched him homeward and put him to bed, after which he locked him into his room, threw the key over the transom and stood guard outside until assured that he slept. At an early hour the adventurer was peremptorily roused to find Emerson hammering at his door in a fine fury. "What is this?" demanded Boyd through white lipa, thrusting a morning paper before Frasor's sleepy eyes. "It's a newspaper," yawned the other—"n regular newspaper." "Where did this story come from?" With menacing finger Boyd indicated a front column, headed: NEW ENEMY OF THE SALMON TRUST! FIRST GUN FIRED IN BATTLE FOR FISHERIES! N. A. P. A. Promised Flick Fighter For Supremacy of Alaskan Waters! "I don't know." "You don't know?" "No; I nayer read anything but the past performances' and the funny page. What does it say?" "It is the whole story of our enterprise, but ridiculously garbled and exaggerated. It says I have headed a new canning company to buck the trust. It tells about George's fond with Marsh and says we have both been secretly preparing to down him. Good Lord! It is liable to queer us with the bank and upset the deal." "I didn't give it out." "It is all done in your particularly picturesque style," declared Emerson angrily. "Alton swears he knows nothing about it, so you must have done it. It is too nearly correct to have come from a stranger." "The harm is done, but I want to know who is to blame." When the other made no answer except to stare at him curiously he fumed up, "Why don't you confess!" For the first time during their acquaintance "Fingerless" Fraser seemed at a loss for words, but whether for shame or some other motive his companion was unable to tell. His nature was so warped that his emotions expressed themselves in ways not always easy to follow, and now he merely remarked, with apparent silenness: "I'm certainly a hot favorite with you." He clambered stiffly back into bed and turned his dofant face to the wall, nor would he meet his accusers 1915 "WHAT IS THIRD" DEEMED NOT. eyes or open his lip, even when Boyd dung out of the room, convicted that he was the pulpit. A telephone message summoned him to the bank as it oclock the following morning. "That means trouble," he told George. "Maybe not, the big Sherman re- plied. "If Hilliard took any Mock in the story, it seems like he'd have jum- ed you the next day." "Ouy, machinery is owed." You realize what it will mean if he beats water now? "Houli. We'll have to go, to some other house." "Houli. I'll write. Please come matured Humores." We have trouble enough Humores any new one." If you wish we may indulge him beamed up the house at the assumed Cherry had, and was then told an announcement with the announcement: "Mr. Hillard [at bury]. He whispered you to wait." Inside the glass partition Boyd heard a woman's yoke and Hillard's laager. He took some comfort in the thought that the tanker was in good humor. Cherry took the foot step, still holding it, and made a running with a violent yawn at the paw-street crowds. Facting him across the way was a bulletin to front of a newspaper office, and after a time he notedly among its various teams of information the announcement that the mail, steamer, Queen had arrived at midnight from Skagway. He wondered why Cherry had not written. Surely she must be anxious to know his program would have advanced her of whose whispered "The door to Hillard's office opened, and he heard the rattle of a woman's dress, 'thes his, own 'hano' spoken, 'Come in, Mr. Emerson.'" His attention centered on the approaching interflow, he did not glance toward the departing visitor until she stopped suddenly at the outer door and came straight toward him with outstretched hands. "Hoyd!" He checked himself and turned to face Cherry Millette. "Why, Cherry Millette," he ejaculated, "what in the world?" He took her two hands in his hands and wrapped up into his face. "In the name of heaven, where did you come from?" "I arrived last night on the Queen," she said. "Oh, I'm glad to see you!" "But what brings you to the States? I thought you were in Kai!" "Shh!" She laid a finger on her lips, with a glance over her shoulder to the inner office. "I'll tell you about it later." "Mr. Hillard will see you about, sir." the attendant announced to Emerson. "I must talk to you right away!" Boyd exclaimed hurriedly. "I won't be long. Can you wait?" Certainly! I will wait right here, only hurry, hurry! The pleasure of seeing her was so genuine that he squeezed her hands heartily and entered Hillard's sanctum with a smile on his lips. "Soon he returned. The smile was gone from his face. Hillard had now refused to make the loot of $100,000 for the enterprise. He told Cherry, "We must have the money or we are ruined," said the girl. "Yes," answered Boyd wearly. He made an engagement to meet Cherry later and wait to visit three other bankers, but they all turned his proposition down. CHAPTER IX. C HERRY the next day demonstrated her power over all sorts and conditions of men by reducing the blaze young clubman to a little form of admiration, "Fingerless" Fraser alone had been missing from the coterie. He had discovered them from a distance, and he had been greeting with Cherry, but the disastrous result of the fellow's garrulance was still so fresh in Boyd's mind that he could not invite him to join them, and Fraser, with singular modesty, had quickly withdrawn, to wander lonesomely for awhile till she enrol drove him to bed. His dejection awakened little sympathy in Boyd, who felt happier for the removal of his lifelong presence. In the town boy was brought sharply back to a realization of his difficult position by a letter from Mildred Wayland. "Father and I had another scene over you." wrote Mildred. "It was the first quarrel we ever had, and I'm half stalk as a result. I simply can't bear that sort of thing, and we have agreed to drop the subject. What bound him to such a sudden fury I sure I don't know." Boyd knew, however, and the knowledge did not add to his comfort. It seemed, indeed, as if the trust's camility had marked him in the eyes of the whole financial world. He was again donned assistance at the banks, and this time in a manner to show him the importance of his profession. If his propensity he turned naturally to Cherry, who listened to his tale of repeated failure with furrowed brows, pondering the matter as seriously as if the responsibility had been her own. "The battle has begun sooner than I expected," she said at length. "I now dreamed they could fix the banks so quickly." "Somehow I can't believe this is the work of the trust people. I don't see how they could accomplish so much in so short a time. Why, it can like a thunderclap." "I hope I am wrong," she answered, "but something unexpected must have happened to change Mr. Hillard's attitude. What could it be except pressure from higher sources? "Has he dropped any hint before you?" "Not a hint. He wouldn't let go of anything. Why, he is too close fasted to drop his 's.'" "Will you take dinner with me this evening so that we can talk over any further developments!" "I am in doing with Mr. Hilliard," said the girl. "Doody's tone of disappointment seemed disproportionate to the occasion. He endeavored to disguise his feeling by saying 'lightly.' You are breaking into exclusive circles. He lives in quite a palace. I am told, 'I—I'm not dining at' his home. Cherry hesitated, and Boyd stashed a sharp glance at him. A paint color insisted on his cheeks." She explained, "I don't know why he was deceived for me to find disguise with him." "I was," Boyd deceived a more hilarious to stranger in his own voice. "I am going to try the success, bank, tomorrow. Would you like to run away with me in the morning! The sound trip is beautiful." "I would love to, she exclaimed. I must have something to report in front of me, Hilliard." "You are doing with Mr. Hilliard!" "Go up, and look at the water, and see what the water is like, and how it is flowing, and with a wall of water, that is, above, over, over salt which are so low that there are with all the compressions of water, falling. And there are no persons on the sea as long as the water is still." "Well, did tillard expose the hidden mysteries of the banking system?" he questioned as they walked down toward the water front. "He did." It is no mystery at all now. "Then it was that newspaper story that frightened him." Indirectly perhaps. He didn't mention it. "He informed me that you are engaged to marry Miss Wayland." "Yes. But what did he say about the loot?" "Only what I have told you. The rest is easy. Had you been less secretive I would have known instanty whom, to blame, for this trouble. Wayne Wayland and Willis Marath are working double, and inasmuch as you are persona non grata"— "Who told you I am persona non grata?" "You told me yourself without intending to. Please give me credit for some abbrevences. If you had been a welcome suitor you would have had no difficulty in raising twice $200,000 in Chicago. Then, too, I remember the story you told me to Kalsiv, your mental attitude many things. In fact Oh, it was very simple." "Well, what of it? What has all that got to do with my present difficulty?" "Listen! You want to marry the daughter of the greatest trust builder in the country, and he doesn't want you for a son-in-law. You undertake an enterprise which seriously threatens his financial interests, and if successful in it, you will oppose it with the other mutter. Now all goes well until he leans on your plans, then he strikes with his own weapons. A word here and there, a blunt to the banks, and your fine castle comes rumbling down about your ears. I thought you had more perception. "We haven't figured Marsh in at all, he said tentatively. "Ho figures nevertheless, as I intend to show you today. To begin with, please notice that unobtrusive man in the gray suit. Not now. Don't see him on the opposite side of the street." Lloyd turned, to observe a rat faced fellow across the way, evidently bound for the Tatoma boat. "Is be following na?" "I see him everywhere I go." Boy's face clouded angrily, at which Cherry excigated, "Now, for heaven's sake, don't mimic Big George or we'll never learn pathgirl." "I won't, stand for a ary," he growled. Finally the girl said, "You really do care a great deal for Miss Wayland, don't you?" His only answer was a deep breath and a slow turning of the head, but once she had seen the look in his eyes she needed no other. She could only say: "I hope she is worthy of all she is causing you to suffer. Boyd. So few of us are." She did not speak again, but in her heart was a great heartiness. They reached the dock and lost sight of the spy, only to have him reappear soon after the boat cleared, and, while neither spoke of it, they felt his presence during the whole trip. At Tacoma Boyd left her to go about his business, but joined her later at lunch, with the joyful announcement: "I've had better luck this time. They said there would be no difficulty whatever in handling the matter, and they are to 'let me know definitely tomorrow." "Did Hawkshaw hound you to the bank?" she inquired. "I rather think so." "Then tomorrow will tell the tale." You mean the bank will turn me down? "Ok, if I've sized up the situation correctly, I dare say these banks are across actions as those in Seattle, and a few words over the telephone would do the trick." "I'm inclined to give that shadow a little personal 'attention,' the young man misused, but when she questioned him he only smiled and assured her of his caution. Again on the return trip they discovered the follow among the passengers. Cherry noticed as they reached the dock that; while Emerson maintained a flow of conversation his eyes were constantly upon the fellow's back and that; he kept a position close to his shoulder, regardless of jostling from the others. She could not tell what this forebodied, nor did she gain a hint of Boyd's purpose until the gangplank was in place, and they, were out upon it. A narrow space separated the boat from the dock. As they crossed, this Boyd slipped and half fell on the staining planks. He hung violently against the man in gray, who was next him. It occurred with the suddenness of pure accident, and the next she saw was the stronger plunging downward along the piling, clutching wholly at the vessel's side. While Boyd clung to the guard rope, as if about to lose his balance. The man's cry, as he struck the war, alarmed the crowd, and caused a momentary stamped, in which Cherry, and Boyd, were thrust, shoreward, but the confusion quickly subsided, as an officer, sung a hearting line to the grappling creature beneath. A moment later the hatter's cry was dragged to the window, where Boyd prologized, profusely, "I was all my fault. The plank, was move, and I was forced "Yes, that would have been too bad," he declared. Then, at the sight of her face, his chuckle chugged to a wolfish snarl. "He'll know enough to keep away from me bereafter." "Don't! Don't! I never saw you look so. Why, it might have been murder?" "Well? He stared at her curiously. "I—I didn't think it of you." She shuddered weakly, but he only shrugged his shoulders and said, with a finality that cut off further discussion: "How's a spy, I won't be spied upon." When Boyd entered his room at the hotel, whither he had gone after leaving Cherry at Hillard's bank, Big George greeted him excitedly. "Here's the dickens to pay. We can't get that barkentine." "The Margaret? Why not? The charter was all arranged." "The agent telephoned that we could not have her." "What.reasons did he offer?" What, reasons and do you ever? "None. We won't have her, that's all." "She's the only available ship on the sound. Our stuff will be here in a fortnight." "Some of it will." "What do you—" "Bollers hold up." "Bollers?" "Yes. Read that." Balt tossed him a telegram. "Shipment delayed," read Boyd. "Well, this is growing, interesting. Thank heaven, other people handle machinery." He reached for a blank and hurriedly wrote a message canceling his order. "I guess Cherry was right. Marris is fighting to delay us." He began a recital of the morning's occurrence, but before he had finished he was called to the telephone. "More bad news," he enclosed as he handed the envelope. "The Jackson-Nobur company say they can't make delivery of their order. I wonder what next." "We don't need anything more to cripple us. George declared blankly. "Any one of these bids is a knockout." It was perhaps an hour later that Cherry entered unannounced. "I just ran in for a minute to tell you something new. When I came up from the bank the elevator boy at the hotel made a mistake and carried me past my door. Without noticing the difference, I went down the hall, and whom should I right in to, coming out of a room, but our detective was, as he opened the door, heard him say, "Very well sir. I report to tomorrow." "To whom was he reporting?" "I don't know. A few minutes later I called you up to tell you about it, but while I was waiting for my number the operator evidently got the wires crossed or left a switch open, for I heard this much of a conversation: "Our contract covers 50,000 cases at $5. We thought that was at least 20 cents under the market." "I was about to ride off when I remembered that you had sold your oyster of 50,000 cases to Bloc & Co. for $5 a case, so I listened on a chance and heard another voice reply." "I don't know. It said. 'We'll under-sell that by $1.'" "Good Lord," said the first speaker. "That means a loss of—And then I was cut off. I thought I'd better come over in person instead of trusting to the wire." "And, you didn't recognize other speaker?" "No. But I discovered at the office that rooms 610 and 612—the unit I saw that detective come out of—are occupied by a. Mr. Jombe of Now York, who arrived three days ago. I'll tell you, things you please that you'll hear from Dibie. & Co. within 'twenty-four' hours and that the occupant of those rooms at the Hotel Buller is Willie Marsh." Big George began to matter prominently. "It looks like they had us, and all because Fraser's tongue is hing in the middle." "All the same, we'll fight it out," said Emerson grimly. "If I can raise that money in Tacoma—" Again, the telephone bell buzzed noisily. "Bloc & Co., predicted Cherry, but for once she was wrong. From Tacoma, I told Boyd the needed to be mistaken. I must second Natasha. They were not to let me know till forsorrow." Through the open door of the adoling room his words came distractively while the other librarian in hiding shouted, "Mala!" Yes. This is how I know that the other librarian is hiding. distant speaker murmured uninstallable "Why not? Can't you give me a reason? I thought you said. Very well. Goodbye." "Emerson hung up the receiver carefully and with the same deliberation turned to face his companions. He nodded and spread his hands outward in an unmimicking gesture. "What already?" queried the girl. "They must have been reached by phone." "That detective may have called Marsh up from there." "That means it won't do any good to try further in Tacoma. The other banks have undoubtedly been fixed, or they soon will be. If I can slip away undiscovered I'll try Vancouver next, but I haven't much hope." "It looks bad, doesn't it?" said Cherry. "As we stand at present," Boyd acknowledged, "we are the owners of a hundred thousand dollars' worth of useless machinery and unusable supplies." "And all," mused the girl, "because of a loose tongue and a little type." CHAPTER X. C LYDE next day suggested that Cherry could prevail on Hillard to advance the money, "Cherry?" asked Rord. "How "Cherry?" asked Boyd. "How can she help?" "She can do anything she wants with him." "What do you mean?" "I may be a heavy autumn frost as a financier," the younger man remarked, "but when it comes to women I'm as also a wharf rat. I've been watching her work, and it's great. People have begun to talk about it. Every night it's a dinner and a theater party. Every day orchids and other extortionate bouquets, with jewel box-cased on with blue ribbons. His motor is at her disposal at all times, and she treats his chauffeur with open contempt. If that doesn't signify?" "Nonsense!" exclaimed the other with disgust. She is too nice a girl for you, you have misconstrued Hillard's politeness. Finding his worldly wisdom at issue, Clyde defended blissfully stoutly, "I tell you, he has gone off his blooming balance. I know the symptoms. Leave it to old Dr. Clyde." "You say other people have noticed it?" "I do. Everybody in town except you and the nowdealer at the corner—be's blind." Emerson rose from his chair and began to pace about slowly. "If Hillard has turned that girl's head with his attentions I'll—" Clydo throw back his head and laughed in open derision. "Don't worry about her—he is the one to be pitted. She's taking him on a secing Seattle trip of the most approved and expensive character." "She can't that kind," Emerson hotly dented. "Now, don't be a boy until your board trips you up. That girl is about to break into Hillard's vault, and white she in there, with the gas light hats, why not tell her to toss in a few bundles for us?" "I can not get along without inkling money from a woman I'll throw up the whole deal." The curious look which Bord had noted once before came into Clyde's eyes, and this time, to judge by the young fellow's manner, he might have translated it into words-but for the entrance at that moment of Cherry herself, accompanied by "Fingerteas" Fraser. "What luck in Vancouver?" she inquired. "See here," volunteered Fraser, "why don't you let me sell-some of your stock? I'm there with the big talk." Emerson turned on him suddenly. You have demonstrated that. If you had kept your mouth shut we'd have been at sea by now. The Yellow's face pailed slightly as he replied, "I'll send you once that I didn't know." "Don't keep that up!" cried Boyd, his much tried temper ready to give way. "I can put up with anything but a lie." Noting the signs of a rising storm, Cyloe scrambled on his chair, saying, "Well, I think I'll be going." He picked up his hat and slick and hurriedly left the room, followed in every movement by the angry eyes of Fraser, who seemed on the point of an explosion, are tired and overworked, and Cherry quietly to Boyd. "The success of this enterprise, with any happiness it may bring you, isn't worth a human life, nor is it worth what you are suffering." "Perhaps not, from your point of view," he said roughly, then struck his palm with his closed fist. "What an idiot I was to begin all this—to think I could win with no weapons and no aid except a half mad fisherman, an addle brained imbecile, a confidence man"— "And a woman, supplemented Cherry, 'Tm the one to blame.'" "No; I blame no one but myself. Whatever you're responsible for there's only one person you've harmed—yourself." "What do you mean?" asked Cherry. Her surprise left him unimpressed. "Let's be thankful," he said. "It is best to have such things out." I traded my friendship for money, and I am relieved. You are taking your hoboy against Hillard's banknotes. Her silence only made him the more derely determined to force an explanation. "Oh I'm in no mood to speak gently, be said, then added, with a sting of contempt in his tone. I didn't think you would pay quite, that price for your copper mine." Cherry, Malorie paled to her lips. "Kindly be more explicit! Don't know what you are talking about." "Then, for your own good, you better understand. According to accepted standards there is no stinging and no manishal trade fraud. You have not yourself been involved in Hillard's and even in your own business." as married man. He is notorious, and yet you have deliberately yielded your power. Buddaily boulder the girl standing over him, with burning eyes, and quivering body. "What right have you to say such things to me?" she asked. "A moment ago you acknowledge yourself a murder-at least in thought. You said you would sacrifice anything or everything to gain your ends. Do you think I like that too? Are my methods to be called shameful because your own errful? And suppose they were? Do you think that you and your lover for that 'unfelling woman, who sent you out to toll and suffer and sweat your soul dry in the solitude of that horrible country, are the only issues in the world?' We won't speak of her," he broke in shurply. "Yes, we will. You say I have set a price on myself. Yes, she can set a price on herself, but you can't see it. Her price was your honor, that has crumbled; your conscience, that has rotted. You paid it, and you would pay double if she exacted it. But one thing you shall not do; you shall not judge of my bargains nor decide what I have paid to any man." Never before had Floyd seen a woman so transformed by the passion of anger. She was the picture of defiant fury. The mask had allipped, and he caught a glimpse of the naked, passionate soul, unheveled to its depths. "I beg your pardon," he said. "You are your own mistress, and you have the power to make any bargain you choose." "O saw that her eyes were mista with tears. "I want you to know," she said, "that I understand your position perfectly. If you don't succeed you not only lose, the girl, but ruin yourself, for you can never repay the men who trusted you. That is a very big thing to a man, I know, yet there must be a way out—there always is. Perhaps it will present itself when you least expect it." She gave him a tired little smile before lowering her veil. He rose and laid his hand on her WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO SAY SUCH THINGS TO ME?" I'm not clever at such things, but I would have said as much to my sister if I had one." It was an honest attempt to comfort her, but it failed. "Goodbye," she said; "you must not give up." All the way back to her hotel her mind dwelt, bitterly upon his parting words. "His sister! His sister!" she kept repeating. "God! Can't he see?" "I have thought over your proposition, and I have changed my mind," she said, "Yes, you may send the car for me at 7." Then, in reply to some request, she laughed back through white lips, "Very well, if you wish it, the blue dress—yes, the blue decollete dress." She hung up the receiver, then stood with hands clinched while a silver ran through her shoulder body. She stepped to a closet and flung open, the door to stare at the array of gowns. "She ended the end of my good resolutions," she hugged and snatched a garment rockedly from its book. "Now for all the miserable tricks of the trade!" George Balt, Clyde and Fraser formed a glum trio as they sat in a nook of the hotel cafe, slipping moodily at their glasses, when on the following afternoon Emerson joined them. But they seemed unoffield happening even before he spoke, for his face wore a look of dazed incredulity, and his manner was so extraordinary that they questioned in chorus: "What's the matter? Are you sick?" "No," said he, "but I—I must have lost my mind." "What is it?" "The trick is turned." "The trick" "I have raised the money." With a about that started the other occupants of the room Bill and Clyde jumped to their feet, and began to capar about in frenzy. Even "Fingertons" Fraser's expressionless face cracked in a wide grain of the blankest amazement. You might have made a great talk declared Cyde. "I said nothing. He offered it, it him- self as a personal loan. It has nothing to do, with the bank. I'm going to tell Cherry now." I Attow Cyde uttered. "I told you you could pull it down." he said. "This was Hilard's own nother- boy returned coldly. The mostly re- counters are delinous, and..." "Oh, over! You're on your head." He was only your sympathy after- ness. I talked with Cheery. He then say my mother was very poor. I told her that I was going to be very poor. and I knew I was going to be very poor. I may "She pulled the old fellows leg that all's explained Alfon. "If I thought she had done that, said Emerson slowly, 'I wouldn't touch a penny of the money.' "I don't care where the money came from or how it got there," rumbled Bail. "It's here; that's enough." But Boyd clung to his point with a stubbornness which he himself found it difficult to explain. The arguments of the others only annoyed him. The walk to Cherry's hotel afforded him time for reduction, which, while it deprived his doubt, somewhat lessened his impatience, and when he was shown in her presence he did not begin in the impetuous manner he had desired. "What makes you think I had anything to do with it?" she asked after he had spoken. "You were with Hilliard last night." She nodded alightly. "We closed our negotations for the copper mine last night." "How did you come out?" "He takes it over and does the development work," she answered. "That means that you are independent; that you can leave the north country and do all the things you want to do?" This time her smile was purling. "You don't seem very glad." "Not Realization discounts anticipation about 90 per cent. But don't let's talk about me. I—I'm unstrung today." "I'm sorry you aren't going back to Kalvik, he said, with genuine regret. "But I am, she sheared quickly. "I'm going back with you and George if you will let me. I want to see the finish of our enterprise." "See here, Cherry; I hope you didn't influence Hillard in this affair." "Why probe the matter?" "Because I haven't lost all my manhood, he answered roughly. "Xestday you assumed the blame for this trouble and spoke of sacrifice, and—well, I don't know much about women, but for all I know you may have some ridiculous, quizzical strain in your makeup. I hope you didn't—" "Well, do anything you may be sorry to do that is detected n gloom of spirit in it." "Suppose that Mrs. Hillard had called on me for some great sacrifice before he gave up that money. Would you allow it to affect you?" "Of course," he answered. Then, unable to sit still under her searching gaze, he arose with flushed face to meet another discomfort as she continued. "Even if it meant your own rule, the loss of the fortune you have raised among your friends—money that is intrusted to you—and the reelinquishment of Miss Wayland? Honestly, now—her voice had softened and dropped to a lower key—"would it make any difference?" "Certainly!" "How much difference?" "I'm in a hard embarrassing position that I could love." "You must realize that with others depending on me I'm not free to follow my own inclinations." She uttered a little mocking laugh. "Pardon me. It was not a fair question, and I shouldn't have asked it, but your hesitation was sufficient answer." Then as he broke into a heated denial she went on: "Like most men, you think a woman has but one asset upon which to trade. However, if I felt responsible for your difficulties that was my affair, and if I determined to help excplicate you that also concerned me alone." He stepped forward as if to protect, but she allied with a speech with an imperious little stamp of her foot. In spite of the cheering turn his fortunes had taken, it was in no very available mood that he left her at last no whit the wiser for all his questioning. In the hotel lobby below he encountered the newspaper reporter who had fallen under Fraser's spell upon their first arrival from the north. The man greeted him eagerly. "How'd y' do, Mr. Emerson? Can you give me any news, about the faberies?" "I thought there might be something new bearing on my story." "Indeed! So you are the chap who wrote that article some time ago, oh?" "Yes, sir. Good, wasn't it?" "Doubleless, from the newspaper point of view. Where did you get it?" "From Mr. Clude." Quite an Accomplishment. "My Uncle Harry can, walk on the water." "What you giving us?" "Well, he can. He said that when he crossed the ocean he took his regular exercise every morning by walking around the skin." "Great country," said the man who had just snubbed reading a prosperity report. "I wonder if the times are as good as the papers say!" "Rural! Everybody is Husk!" "Loan me a quarter."

When when a fellow in your parish wants to get married, you should get the "say" reliable, honest and passionate when you are in love. If your partner will be jealous of your goodness and betray the match, you should not love him, you will get the trouble. be asked about the purity of a favored soup; also its effect on dry and oily skins. A glycerin, soap, for in stance, will chap one skin, will yellow another and unkid a third soft and smooth. Secure half a dozen different soaps of equal purity, then experiment to find which agrees best with you. There is much carelessness in the use of soap. The presence of soap powders in many public wash rooms has eliminated much of the danger of a common soap cake for travelers, individual soap wrapped in a sealed case is a boon in hotels where a patron has forgotten her own. The woman who would scorn to use soap in a public wash room thinks nothing of using a family cake. This is not sanitary. Besides the fact of different soaps being needed by different skins, various members of the family may have underdeveloped skin troubles that are contagious. If possible each child should have her own cake of soap as much as her toothbrush, comb and towel. If washing arrangements are too cramped to permit this the child should be taught to hold each cake by the tip under scalding water for a minute before using. It may mean the less of an extra layer of soap, but it may save trouble. A soap manufacturer says that fine toilet soaps need drying and ripening as much as can counter soaps. It is therefore economical to buy a number of gakes at once and let them dry by placing on a shelf. This should be in some room or closet where there is not much dust or soot. Fine soap-will last longer if it is drained off a minute before being put back in the soap dish, which should first be carefully wiped out until no moisture is left. A perforated dish or top should be selected. Children should be taught not to let soap lie in water. Besides being wasteful, it is bad for the skin to use too much even of a good soap, and if not carefully rinsed it makes the skin slimy and clogged. Hawkins-Price Co. Browers and Restorers.

NINE SMALL TOWNS BURNED Searching Parties Over Devastated Area Find Many Bodies and Starving Survivors—Wild Animals Joined Exodus. A. K. Stauning, publisher of the Warroad, Minn., Plain Dealer, says he was sure that the number of dead in the forest fires along the border would be at least 300, and 700 persons are missing. Five thousand are homeless. Mr. Stauning has been keeping in close touch with occurrences of the past few days and his world should be an authority. He places the estimate of the timber and building loss at $25,000,000. bear and building loss at $25,000,000. Men who have just returned from Belfast list the list of dead in the district back from the railroad track will reach 150. The mayor of Baudette says that seventy-five codes have already been found, and refugees coming in every hour report having seen many dead bodies in the road. The situation around Warroad is not critical at present. A big fire is burning between Warroad and Grainger's town is well guarded. All settlers in the district bounded by the Rainy river and Lake of the Woods on the north to twenty-five miles south of Fort Frances, Ont., and from Spooner and Baudette, Minn., on the east to Warroad, on the west, who are not accounted for, are believed to be dead, as there was no known means of escape for them. Of fifty miles from Baudette and the Rainy river west to Warroad the woods were a solid mass of fire Sunday. The fires have wiped out the villa lagos of Baudette, Spooner, Swift, Graceton, Pilt, Cedar Spur, Rosewall and Malcolm. The last two named places are small settlements in Beltram county, south of Waroad. The greatest property loss occurred at Baudette and Spooner, which is practically one community, being paralleled by a narrow river. The other towns consisted of only a few small buildings. Search For Dead and Dying. The terrible results of the forest fires are barking to be realized by the disheartened and homeless thousands. Bodies found along the railway track three miles west of Baudette were taken to Rainy River, Ont., for burial. There was not a particle of clothing left on any of them, save parts of their shoes. The bodies had the appearance of having been baked in a red hot oven. Searching parties were organized and went south to relieve suffering and pick up the dead. It will be days before all the dead can be reached, owing to the great trees which have fallen over the roads. Those will have to be chopped away before wagons can get through. In some instances houses near town are filled with refugees who are without food. Hendrickson came in from his claim, three and a half miles south-west of Baudette, and told of thirty persons who were housed in its shack without food. He says that when the fire struck his place sixteen of them got into a dry well eight feet foot deep and remained there, nearly surmounting from the heat and smoke, until the fire had passed. While the torment of fire passed over the wolf it vexed to the south-east of his house, which was not consumed. Many settlers got into the Rapid river and saved themselves by wading into the water, although their faces were blistered by the heat. Delaware Gets Silver Service. The state of Delaware, next to Rhode Island the smallest commonwealth in the Union, presented a silver service to the dreaddough which bears her, name one, of the largest battalions in Uncle Sam's navy. The shining silver service, said to be the finest ever given a man-o-war, and valued at $10,000, was presented to the big vessel by Governor Penna-C. G. Cove, commander of the Delaware, made the address of acceptance. Fetions of prominence from all parts of the tiny state, omnials of the commonwealth and their wives were assembled on the deck of the big ship. Patriotic societies had delegations there, laden with gifts for the sailors, who received them in grumbling. The drandown state is lying in the Delaware river, also Wilmington, reflected the spirit of the occasion. After Captain Gov't's speech of acceptance a stand of colors, the gift of the Delaware branch of the Daughters of the American Revolution, we **JONES**, portrait of Commodore Jacob Jones; of Daisyro, commander of the War; during the famous 6th with the Fellin in the War of 1812; was pre- sented by Mrs. John M. Wilson, president of the Delaware Society of the War of 1812. A. portrait of Commodore Thomas MacDougall, of Delaware, the "Hero of Lake Champlain," from the Colonial Dames, was presented by Mrs. Charles R. Miller, president of the Delaware society. Mrs. Eugene Dupont, through Alexis I. Dupont, presented a portrait of Admiral Samuel Francis Dupont, of this state, who served with distinction during the Civil War. Captain Gove accepted all these. Largest Corn Crop in History. The production of spring wheat, as estimated by the crop reporting board for 1910, was 292,832 bushels in 1909, yield por acro being 11.8 bushels, compared with 15.8 in 1909. The production of all wheat for 1910 was 691,769 bushels, compared with 737,189,000 bushels in 1909, with being 14.2 bushels. The corn crop was 80.3 per cent of a normal on Oct 1, or at time of harvest, as compared with 73.3 a year ago, and 98.4, the ten-year average according to the crop reporting board of the department of agriculture. The crop of corn, based on these figures, was variously estimated at 2,968,000,000 bushels to over 3,057,000,000 bushels. In either case a new high record would be established, the largest previous crop having boomed 2,927,416,031 bushels in 1906. Of the 1910 was 139,366,000 bushels, compared with 1,007,353,000 bushels in 1909. The production of barley, for 1910 was 185,138,000 bushels, compared with 170,284,000 bushels in 1909. Dun Up $1145 In Garden. A pot of gold was found by Mrs. Erad Casey, of Harris township, near South Bend, Ind. in her garden. She was working in the flower bed when to her surprise a $20 gold piece was brought to the surface. She began digging vigorously, and in a few minutes uncovered a rusty cap which contained gold pieces amputing in all to $1145. Some of the colons bore the marks of 1884, but most of them were coined in 1889. The farm was formerly occupied by Henry Casey, a wealthy farmer, who died about twenty years ago. It is thought that he buried the gold for safe keeeping. Governor Hughes Residn Governor Hughes resigned as chief executive of New York and Lieutenant Governor Horace White was sworn in by Secretary of State Koeing to serve until 2015.

"He always stops and thinks before he speaks, doesn't he?" "Not exactly. He just stops." "Glave and Leader." Colonel Burpried His Attendance When He Accepted Aviator's Invitation—Declared It Was Bully. Well the colonel did it. By George. He went up in the air. Like many others, he has succeeded to the temptations of flying. At the Kinlock aviation flight, eighteen miles east of St. Louis, Mr. Roosevelt made his first flight with Arch Hoxsey. In a Wright biplane he enriched the fold twice and remained in the air three minutes and twenty seconds. When he came down to earth the colonel exclaimed that it was the bullshelf experience he had over gone through. He hadn't expected to do it. His Finest Experience. "It was the finest experience I ever had," he aboulted to the 'crowd of cheering thousands. "I'd lied to have stayed up an hour." He shoook hands with Hosey, thanking him for the ride, and then he disappeared in a cloud of dust. This was only one of dozens of interesting things the colonel did. He rushed and whitened and he wobaut just like he used to. St. Louis folks who attempted to follow his course gave it up as a bad job. Hosey a.sd. he had to caution his passenger to keep his hands on the hold rail. On the turn Colonel Roosevelt began to wave his hands at the spectators, and the pilot of the 'former president's hands would catch a controlling cord. When it comes to mixing business with pleasure you cannot surpass the colonel. He made three big speeches, and then motored out to the aviation field. While he sat in the automobile with Governor Hadley, Arch Hoxsey, who had been flying, came over and spoke to the colonel quietly. The governor introduced them. "I like to have you for a passenger," murmured Hoxsey, and the colonel looked about and above. There was no wind and the conditions appeared to be right. Suddenly he began to remove his coat. He dotted his dusty black sombrero. "You're not going, are you, colonel?" asked Governor Hadley, anlytically. The colonel had been唱 "By George, I think I will," and answered, and he stepped out of his motor car. Hoxsey's biplane was nearby, and the colonel had reached it in a jiffy. Publisher Howland, and his two sons, Karl and Harold, and Advertising Manager Hort rushed over. They couldn't believe their own eyes. "Why, he told us he wouldn't go up," said Publisher Howland. Was 100 Feet In Alc. The colonel devoted all his attention to Hoxsey and the juggers that worked the plane. He sat on the left side of Hoxsey. Somebody gave him a cap and the colonel put it on and he was ready for the whip. While an old soldier held the machine, Hoxsey tested the engine. He found that everything was all right and gave the signal to let go. The aeroplane rose gently and gradually to a height of 100 feet. As he rose it picked up more speed, and before he knew it Mr. Roosevelt and the aviator were swooping over the heads of the crowd. The biplane descended in a complex formation and made a long loop in the colonel's wounded his body those bona fide him. He called to them, but the hum of the motor choked his words. In three minutes and twenty seconds the plane glided back to its original position near the colonel's automobile. The crowd swarmed toward him. H uttered exclamations that came so fast that you couldn't tell what he was saying. He kept "by Gourgolng" and said "nóu" at least a hundred times.

Sonhir Costa, minister of justice, announces at Lisbon, Portugal, that the object of the government's policy is to "introduce a secure, progressive administration within the republic and to consolidate on a moral and practical basis the good relations of Portugal with foreign nations." The government, it is added, will throw wide to everybody the door of education, assure the national defense on land and sea, administer the colonies on a basis of decontamination and self-government, establish a system of justice that will enslave essential liberty to all, abolish the police magistrates, investigate the expulsion of monks and nuns, close the Roman cathedral, establish a system of births, deaths and marriages, separate church and state, and strengthen the nation's credit and finances. Normal business conditions are being resumed in Libanon. Cheers which greet the occasional passing of a troop of soldiers, headed by a band playing the republican hymn and the universal display of the republican color, red and green, are practically the only outward evidences of the monumentous battlefield, and child wears a red and green cockade or red and green ribbons knotted like soldier's spaucle. Even the horses and mules are decorated with republican emblems. Nobody mentions ex-King Manuel or the monarchy, either in pity or condemnation. They are topics which have coaxed to interest the people, and even the whereabouts of the ex-king sequestr*q* (q* be unknown, and the palaces of palace of the king, slades of slades of the king, soldiers, who scrupulously guard the valuables contained therein. The palaces will probably be converted into museums. Admiral Reis, leader of the revolution, committed suicide Tuesday is the belief that the plans had miscarried and that the republican cause was lost. His body and that of Professor Bombard, whose murder by a military officer precipitated the revolt, have since been lying in state in the mural chamber of the war museum interment in the national pantheon. The expulsion of the priests continues. Any seen on the streets are immediately arrested. Civil Governor Leo explains that, this is the best means of protecting them from violence. The members of the Irish Dominican mission, which has nourished here since its foundation in 1816, have also come under the ban. They have apologized, apologized, apologized, therole no reason to support them will be exempted. A number of Irish nuns will have to go also. The native monks and nuns have been given the option of staying if they renounce their orders; otherwise they will have to quit. Most of the Portuguese Jesuits will go to Brazil. Some may go to Spain. The Theosophists will greatly enriched by confession of property of the congoress. 1000 DEAD IN LISBON Revolutionists Are In Complete Control of Capital of Portugal. The correspondent of the Frankfort Zeitung, at Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany, at Madrid, says refugees who have arrived from Vigo, Spain, report the number of fatalities in Lisbon as have arrived about 1000, and that several thousand persons were wounded. The Lisbon correspondent of the same newspaper says the new government has decreed the dissolution of religious orders, the members of which must quit Portugal within twenty-four hours. Another decree, he says, calls on others to abstain from wearing religious clothes on streets so an not to provoke attack. The censorship at Lisbon has been relaxed somewhat and dispatches are coming more freely from the scene of the revolution. All confirm the earlier reports that the revolutionists are in complete control of the capital and that the infant republic is making progress. The republic has been produced also at many points in the provinces. A special dispatch says that an insurrection has occurred at Setubal, Portugal, where many troops are quarred. The infantry that had good over all combat skills entered the capital cavalry. The cavalries are estimated at 800. 100 Year Old Farmer Dead. Joshua Rosello, a resident of Wyoming, eight miles from Wijaya Barro, Pa., died at the age of 100 years, 6 months and 1 day. He was a farmer and had worked hard all his life, most of the time in the open. Except for a slight doffness his faculties were in normal condition. He enjoyed, good health until a few years ago. He was born to a bye-song and one daughter, twelve granddaughters, thirteen grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren. Fredricker, Pritzmaner, of, Philadelphia, ninety-seven years old, was called to Kenkuhill Haven, Pa. to attend the federal of his daughter, John E. Kliman.

"First Lady" of the Country Aids Boy Auto Victim. TAFT AUTO HITS BOY Struck by car In which Mrs. Taft was riding, But Not Seriously Hurt. Mrs. Taft was an anxious visitor at the Salem, Mass, hospital, where Wilfred A. Crowell, the six-year-old son of William A. Crowell, of Salem, lice, suffering from bruises and cuts received, when he was struck by one of the White House automobiles. Assured Mrs. Taft that the little boy was in no danger. They said he was more bruised on the face and armchair that he would sit home. The accident occurred on Monday, when Mrs. Taft was returning from Boston. According to Chaufort Long, the automobile was running at a moderate speed through the custom part of the city, when the boy suddenly ran an electric car track upon the roadway and directly in front of the machine. Long whirled his steering wheel so that the blow was a glancing one, although the child was thrown against the curbstone and cut and brushed. The child suddenly stopped and the child picked up and hurried to the hospital. KEEP CLOSE GUARD OVER KING MANUEL It is reported at Gibraltar that a suspicious looking Portuguese, who arrived direct from Lisbon, has been arrested there, and that since the arrest special precautions have been taken to guard King Manuel. It is understood that King Manuel altered his decision to go to Villa Manrique in consequence of representations made by Spain. The government made Madrid feared that if he visited there just now his presence would air up the Spanish republicans. King Manuel before leaving Portugal wrote to Prolouer Srauza saying: gal wrote to a Fulham Sutra asking: "I am compelled, owing to stress of circumstances, to speak of my conscience of Portugal that my conscience is clear. I have always acted faithfully as a Portuguese and have done my duty I shall always remain heartedly Portuguese. I hope my country will do me justice and try to understand my feelings. "My departure is not by any means to be regarded as an act of abdication." PROMOTION . FOR PEARY Age Retirement of Captain White Moves Arctic Explorer Up. Commander Robert E.

A horrible triple tragedy occurred near Millboro, in Bath county, forty miles southwest of Staunton, Va. when Edward Mace killed and killed his wife, mortally wounded his mother-in-law and then ended his own life. The murdered wife was but fifteen years old and carried a baby in her arms when she was shot. She had left her husband but a short time ago on account of brutal treatment and returned recently to the neighborhood. As soon as Mace learned of her presence she armed himself with a sin gle burrel loading shotgun and a full suppression ammunition and then secreted close by the roadside along which his wife and mother-in-law had to pass. As they came along the road Mace sprang from the underbrush, and with the remark, "I will fix you both," he shot to death his wife, who held their sleeping infant in her arms. Reloading the weapon; the immediately turned it upon the mother-in-law with deadly intent, the load tearing a wound in her left side, from which it is thought she will die. Reloading a third time. Maco placed the weapon against his body, pulled the trigger and ended his own life. There were no eyewitnesses to the tragedy, but the shots and screams were heard from a nearby farm house, then brought to the scene to be of any assistance, only to find the lifeless bodies of husband and wife and the mortally wounded form of the mother-in-law. The infant was unhurt and still in peacefully asleep in the embrace of its lifeless mother. Wild; Deer Disport Near School.

It is the thing that is all wool and a yard wide that the world is always looking for. Morit is as certain to be seen and recognized as sunshine is. The tune the old cow died on used up everybody else in the neighborhood before it finished her. The long haplin has been called in, but the fellow who whistles on the street cars is still loose. Plowing with a crooked stick is a prayer to be kept on a starvation diet. It doesn't make much difference where you were born. The great question is, "Where are you now?" Never give up, but keep on getting up. The greatest promises in the Bible are for those who trust. God wants us to have every joy that does not give a sigh to some one else. Honey was made for those who are not afraid of bee stings. If we could hear better, God would tell us more. Hell is where sin has its own way—whether in a heart or in a world. God gives the best crop to the man who uses both his brains and his hoe. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Some men and many phonographs have bad records. You can save yourself lots of trouble by not borrowing it. Charity that expects a return on the investment isn't charity. Many a woman holds her mirror up to art instead of to nature. The flower of a flock of girls isn't a flower at all; she's a peach. Ever notice how much better a sample is than the real thing? Judge a man by his daily talk rather than by his Sunday prayers. Many a man at the age of fifty wishes he was half as smart as he thought he was at the age of twenty-one. And when a man meets a woman with genuine blond hair he always wonders if it is genuine. While it may not be lucky to have a rabbit's foot, every intelligent rabbit knows that it is unlucky to lose one.

USE OF FALSE HAIR, Approved of Only When Hirsute Adornment Is Stant. Oils ' Plentifully Used Will Rastore Color and Quality of Hair, Besides Curing Dried There is just one time when women should wear false hair, in the opinion of specialists, and that is when a woman has lost the original color of her hair, either through bleaching, dyeing or sunburn, and is trying to hasten restoration. She can do this only by copious use of oil in some form or another, and that doesn't tend to make her look very well. But if she adopts a certain style of collarure she may cover her own locks and have them as glossy as she pleases the while. Incidentally false hair wouldn't be infrequent if the wonders of it took care to counteract its effect upon the scalp. The season has come around when the restoration of hair color becomes necessary. As has been said, oil is the thing to use, and this you will understand when you know that loss of color is due to lack of natural oils which nourish the hair follicles. Without their natural food the roots are impoverished, and the hair is dry and lifeless. Castor oil is great food. It has an unpleasant odor, but if lavender oil is added its odency is not impaired and the natural odor is lost. Another, an ointment well suited to a dried scalp, is made of equal parts of oil of ergot and mercury oleate. Still another is more elaborate, but it can be made at home. There are needed four ounces of beef marrow, melted and strained, three ounces of pure leaf hard, also melted and strained, one and one-quarter ounces of sweet almond oil, three-quarters of a dram of Peru lams, one dram of clucona bark and one-half dram each of oil of cloves and lavender The bark is put into the fats before straining, and the mixture is placed where it will be warm, but not hot, for a day. The Pern balsam is added to the almond oil, and the two liquids are strained after combining, the perfumed oil is going in ast. Any one of those tonics is to be put on the head at night and in much larger quantities than they ordinarily would be. You see, you're got to make up the deficit, and this is where false hair comes in. You can have your head fairly reckeling with oil and it will never show if it a swirl or cornet braid is plinned on or a bunch of puff ornaments your crown. Don't think it enough fast to put on the oil. It must be well rubbed into the scapl. Friction and the heat generated by it help it to absorb. At night brush your hair well. The color won't come back in a week, but it will remain in due time and the hair be of better quality than if nothing had been done. AN·ATTRACTIVE HOUSE GOWN 1 The simple house gown that is closed at the left of the front, giving a suggestion of Russian influence, is one greatly in vogue. This one is simple yet smart and altogether satisfactory. The blouse and skirt are cut in one, making a one, piece gown, and the closing can be made invisible or with buttons and buttonholes as liked. One of the pretty inexpensive printed wash fabrics woven with a border makes this one, and the border has been cut off to form the trimming, but banding of any sort or plain stitching or applied braiding or any finish of the sort will be found appropriate. If the fall three-quarter sleeves are not liked, long plain ones can be substituted. All the materials adapted to morning lawns are appropriate, challis and the like, as well as the washable ones. Cotton, feathers, are being much used this season, and one be threes with bands of plain color would be smart and in every way satisfactory. Quite a feather. The same to me very coolly. You ought to be grateful to her. It's a hot day. Garment Shown in Illustration Can Easily Be Made by Following Directions Given Below. A very practical little vest is here shown which is made of black and white zephyr floss, the seams laced together with black satin ribbon. A really dainty garmment may be made by combining pastel shades with the white. Sheldand floss or fourfold German- towi may also be used. In making the mode two ounces of black and three ounces of white zephyr floss and a celluloid crochet hook. No. 4, can be used, and two and a half yards of ribbon one inch wide. D. c. means double crochet; s. c means single crochet; ch. means chain Using white yarn, ch. thirty-nine for bottom of back. First row: Skip four ch. (same as one d. c.), make one d. c. in each remaining ch. stitch. Fasten, break yarn. You now have nine groups of four d. c. each. Second row: Fasten colored yarn in loop of ch: four at beginning of pre- vious row, ch three, one s. e between first two groups of four d. e, X ch three, one s. e, between next two groups. Repeat from X, ending with one s. e in last d. e of previous row, Fasten, break yarn. Third row, Fasten white yarn at beginning of previous row, ch four, three d. e in first loop of ch three of previous row, X four d. e in next loop of ch three. Repeat from X to end of row Fasten, break yarn. Repeat second and third rows until you have seven white and seven colored rows in all. In the next row increase by making eight d. e, instead of four in the loop at each end of row You now have eleven groups of four d. e. Work six white and seven colored rows on the eleven groups. In the next row increase as before, then work three white and four colored rows on the thirteen groups. You have now reached the neck. Leave the seven center groups and work on the groups at one end of row. Work three white and three colored rows on the three groups, for shoulder. In the next row increase in each end group. Work three white and four colored rows on these five groups. Next row increase as before. Work eleven white and eleven colored rows on these seven groups. You have now finished one front. Make other side to correspond. To make the border, fasten colored yarn at corner of neck on left front, working down front, ch. three, one a. c. in end stitch of each colored row, work across lower edge as was done throughout the work; continue until you have made a colored row all around west. Fasten, break yarn. Now fasten white yarn and make a group of four d. c in each loop of ch. three, of previous row, except in the corners at lower edge of fronts and back, where eight d. c. (two groups) should be made. (In the next white row make one group between these two corner groups.) Repeat these two rows until you have three white and four colored rows. In the next white row, make five d. c. in each group and one s. c in each colored s. c of previous row. Edge with color as follows: Fasten yarn between two groups of previous row, X using back loop at top of stitch, make one slip stitch in each of first two d. c., one ploot in next d. c., one slip stitch in each of last two d. c and s. c. Repeat from X all around edge. To make slip stitch, insert hook through loop, yarn over hook and draw through both stitches on hook. To make picot, make one a. c. in back loop at top of stitch, ch. three put hook eldiewade through top loop and upright loop of single crochet, yarn over hook, draw through two loops, yarn over hook, draw through last two loops. Lace the underarm scans together with ribbon. Handkernblef Jabots The jabot made of half a handkerchief is a sensible and inexpensive solution of the necklec problem for women. Cut diagonally in half, the handkerchief, if a plain fine one, will admit of extra trimming along its already hemstitched edges. Part of the finish being provided, there but remains to be added the narrowest of Irish lace edges on one jabot and a delicate clung on the other. ... The shape is got by the folding of a central inverted box plant, with two or three small plats on each side turned centerward. Pressed into shape, the jabot is mounted along its diagonal raw edges upon a small hand attached by machine, and by this it is secured beneath the turnover collar. A Wise Wife.

APPLICATION OF DRAWN WORK Lands Itself to Beautifying a Large Variety of Articles For West and House Decoration. There is no other form of embroidery which has so many means of application as has drawn work. Not only can it be employed on all manner of garments and accessories, but it can appear as borders, inserts, all over work—what you will, in fact. Nothing is handsomer than a white or natural colored linen or pongee gown trimmed simply with bands of drawn work. Whole cuffs may be formed of it in horizontal rows, collars and yokes in the same way, and the banded in effect can be given by a double row of drawn work just above the knees. Have you a wedding gift to make? Without ruining your eyes, as you would do with fine lacework or kindred embroidery, you can give your friend a present whose value will be far beyond any expense to you by working her a handkerchief or two or perhaps a scarf in one of the softer silks in drawn work. Three or four circular rows of insertion in one of the simpler Mexican designs and you will have transformed entirely a plain linen handkerchief. A border of clung or Irish lace—perhaps crocheted by hand—will add to its beauty, though even without that it will be charming. Parasols are well adapted to this embroidery, especially when they are of the white linen variety. The new taller made parasols from Paris are nearly all trimmed with drawn work or laminatching alone, and the work is easily enough done. In the same way long silk gloves embroidered in self tone on the backs now have a line of silk drawn work halfway up the arm. In table linen drawn work comes peculiarly to its own and is at its very best. 'Tablecloths, napkins, centerpieces, dolls, dish mats for polished tables—all these are curled and beautified by a line or two or a border of drawn work. Perhaps it is in the large square or circular centerpiece that drawn work appears best, because there it has no rival and can show itself in a hundred different forms. However, the work itself is not difficult to learn for the needlewoman expended in other branches of embroidery, and the results from it are certainly showy enough to be well worth any amount of time and trouble. LAUGHTER AS A CURE. Paris Physician. HAs Opened an Establishment Where Laughing is taught According to Scientific Rules. There is more than music in a hearty laugh—there is medicine. We all know that it is to "laugh and grow fat," but how many of us realize that not to laugh is to take chances on ill health? A doctor in Paris has opened a laughter-ore. Its costs to go there, for huge and the fees. For what? Just to learn how to laugh. The patients all in a circle and at a given signal grin at each other. Soon the stiffness of the grisis tickles the funny bops of the patients, and the coofful or invasive breath to laugh heartily. Two hours a day of this exercise is OUR JOB DEPARTMENT. prescribed, and the cure is warranted to oust the worst of dyspepsia, not to mention "blues." Why pay good money for a hearty laugh? Rather cultivate the power to laugh in your heart and follow it up with your voice. One might much better go through the world laughing. You are more agreeable to meet and feel better yourself than if you take life as a tragedy that is to be endured, if not bemoaned. Do you realize how little women really laugh? If they are girls they giggle. If they feel amused they may indulge in a sickly smile, but how rarely do you hear a rollingick, shaking laugh! Smiling is much better than crying for the health, but it is not in it with a good hearty laugh. Every one feels better for giving the humor full vent, save perhaps a 300 pounder, red faced and apoplectic, after a hearty dinner. 1 This fetching model of black hatter's plush is trimmed solely with four short plumes in several shades of blue, massed in a high cluster at the back. The low mound shaped crown and the novel blim with its box platt in front and facing of Persian silk are all distinctly new notes in this coming season's millinery.

THE PLANET Dr. Graham Home Again. (Continued From First Page) Baptist Convention, with special dinner. Dr. Williams placed his fine double horse rig at the disposal of their guests and made it very pleasant for them. Here the young ladies and gentlemen took special pains in making it an enjoyable visit for Miss Eva while the little girls made it happy for little Miss Ottie, Dr. Graham preached for Dr. E. C. Morris on Sunday morning, the 11th of September to a large, intelligent audience From Helena, the Graham family went with a special delegation to the National Baptist Convention at New Orleans. Dr. Morris had arranged for a fine chair car for the comfort of his party. The car carried about sixty persons. This trip was enjoyed, and on the way they passed through Greenville, Miss., the home of the late Bishop Lampton; Mound Bayou, the great Miss. Negro town, Vicksburg, Miss., Batch Rouge, La., and many other places of importance they passed through Mississippi and Louisiana, seeing what they had never seen before, cotton fields, rice fields and great plains of La Sugarcane. The party arrived in New Orleans a day before the Convention began. Dr Graham's family was domesticated at 2212 1st Street, and while there they were the recipients of the best social attention or the city. New Orleans young ladies and gentlemen did not allow a day to pass in paying attention to the social enjoyment of Miss Eva Graham. She was the centre of attraction in musical society, being called upon everywhere to give skilful demonstration of her musical talent. Mrs. Asa George, 1921 Jackson Avenue gave a grand reception to Dr. Graham's family to which many of the leading society stars were welcomed. It was here that Mr. Theodore D. Geddes, the most popular liverman and undertaker of New Orleans placed at the Aisneau of Dr. Graham's family one of the finest hacks and two of the most beautiful horses ever driven by mortal man, for a whole afternoon sight seeing. This was immensely enjoyed, for the beauties of Canal Street and St Charles Avenue are almost indescribable. The plants of every description being almost purely tropical, so arranged around and about the costy spacious home of the rich as to give them almost the appearance of a perfect paradise. The young folks no time in seeing that Miss Eva enjoyed the beautiful sights of New Orleans. After the great Convention was over, Dr Graham's family returned to Helena and spent one night, then came the time that was the supreme moment of their great trip, for they boarded the train for Marianna Ark and this was just eleven miles from the country home of Mrs. Frances Graham, Dr Graham's mother. But they stopped in Marianna three or four hours and visited the homes of Mrs. C B Brown, the widow of the late Dr. Crocket Brown, and Mrs Millie Brown, the wife of a rich retired merchant of that town. Before getting to Marianna, Rev Dr McKenzie, pastor of the Second Baptist Church had seen one of the leading white liverymen and arranged for a double seat survey drawn by a fine span of horses to be put at Dr Graham's disposal for the whole six days that he and family spent eleven miles in the country with his mother and other kinfols. Arrowing at his mother's there was an old and enjoyable season. The old lady shouted and cried for joy because this was the first time she had ever seen Mrs Graham and her daughters. The time was most pleasantly spent while in the country at family reunions, big dinners, church services and story telling of olden times. Dr. Graham's mother declared that she was not old, but that she was only "eighty." She thrives to town at any time, eleven miles away alone. Everybody respects and honors her. She lives on her own beautiful farm well worth $500.00, the rent of which takes care of her, and then, she is surrounded by daughters who themselves live in their own homes. But the farewell time came, and having sent the double seat rig home four beautiful buggies were gotten together to carry the Graham family nine miles to Palestine, a railroad station. One member of the family occupying each one of the buggies with the parties who drove them. A wagon was secured for carrying the trunk and the satchels. There were tears of sadness and all wept when they saw the dear old mother how her head in her apron at the slight of soiling her children-bid her good-bye. Boarding the train at Palatine, the Graham family went direct to Brinkley, Ark. Horo they stopped with Mrs. Victoria Harris, another sister of Dr. Graham. A most enjoyable time was had and all the loading young folks of the little town made haste to arrange a formal, social entertainment for Miss Eva and little Miss Ottie. Miss Eva, as usual being the star by reason of her musical gift. Leaving Brinkley, the party hurried on to the capital of the State Little Book, Ark, and wore the guests of Dr. Joseph A. Booker, President of the Arkansas Baptist College. This meeting was also like a family reunion, in as much as Dr. Booker and Dr. Graham were old classmates in the Branch, Normal College of Pine Bluff, Ark, from 1875 to 1881. This time was most pleasantly spent. and every attention was given to the family. Dr. Booker himself has a most intercultural family, cultured sons and daughters, and they made it pleasant for Dr. Graham's children. 2. All parsons owing our agent, Mr. Joseph Evans, Pittsburgh Pa., will please tail and settle with him. While in Little Rock, Dr. Graham and family were also entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Butler Camfield. They were also old time classmates of Dr. Graham, Dr. Graham has a brother-in-law at Little Rock, Mr. M. F. Bonner, whose charming daughter, Ethel, was overjoyed to meet her cousin Eva for the first time. By reason of the serious illness of Mrs. Bonner, Dr. Graham did not stop at his brother-in-law's home but spent much time with them. Miss Eva is very anxious to have her cousin Ethel come to Richmond, she is a graduate of the Little Rock High School. While in Little Rock the family was carried sight-seeking under the guidance of Dr. J. P. Robinson, the eminent pastor of the First Baptist Church. A visit was made also to Hot Springs, Ark, and the wonderful sights of that strange place were taken in and enjoyed. They visited the Hot Water Springs, the Alligator Farm and the Ostriche Farm. While in Little Rock with her cousin, Ethel, Miss Eva visited the High School and by urgent request played the march for the students to come in and performed several other classic pieces to the delight of the Principal, the faculty and the student body Leaving Little Rock, the family made their way via Memphis to Nashville, Tenn., and here they were dismissed at the Nashville Baptist Publishing House in the home of that most remarkable genius, Dr. R. H Boyd, who has given the Negro Baptists one of the finest publishing houses of the Christian world. Here Dr Graham's family was made to feel at home and every join was taken to make the trip an enjoyable one. Mrs. Boyd is a vortable Christian princess of courtesy, hospitality and accommodation. Messrs. Henry Allen and Spiongeon Boyd, sons of Dr Boyd, are true chips of the old block refined, cultured, polite and business like. Prof Crenshaw, the newly up pointed editor of the National Baptist Union is what we might style a newspaper genius, affable, versatile and comprehensive in book-lore. It is a real pleasure to sit at the table in Dr Boyd's family. The Publishing House, Mrs Graham and her children declare is truly one of the wonders of the age. No one can tell what is there without seeing with his or her own eyes. Dr Boyd and Prof. Henry Allen Boyd drove the family sightseeing and wound up at the beautiful new college and site of Roger William University. Leaving Nashville, the family made one more stop in Atlanta Ga. There they stopped at Mrs Smith's 291 Auburn Ave. While there they visited the important places and then took their final trip back to Richmond, where a great Church and appreciative community and warmest friends made them welcome.

Following the death of Charles Johnson, colored, which occurred Thursday night, as the result of wounds received from County Policeman D L. Temple, who claims that the shooting was done while the Negro was resisting arrest. Temple yesterday morning surrendered himself to the county officers and was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Sydnor. He was immediately bailed in the sum of $200. County Treasurer H C Hechler going his bond The shooting occurred Monday morning when the Negro, refusing to be arrested threw his hand behind him as though to draw a pistol Temple who was once severely shot by a man he was about to arrest, took no charges and fired twice each bullet taking effect in Johnson's body. The wounds were pronounced fatal from the first, but Johnson held on with unusual tenacity. Temple had been called upon to arrest the man by a woman giving her name as Mary Wallace. The shooting took place near her home on the Bowling Green Road. The inquest will be held at the City Hall this morning by Coroner W H Taylor, Johnson having died at the City House Constable Temple Given Clearance The jury sworn by Coroner William H. Taylor today to inquire into the killing of the Negro, Charles Johnson, shot last Monday morning by a Henrico county constable. D. L. Temple, while the Negro was attempting to break into the home of Mary Wallace, a Negro woman living near Hick's Store, in Fairfield district de clared the shooting justifiable and exonerated the officer. Seven or eight eye witnesses were introduced at the investigation, all of whom testified that Constable Temple shot to preserve his own life. Four Negro women were among the witnesses, who testified that Johnson was getting the better of the officer when the latter fired. The Negro continuing his attempt to wrest the revolver from Temple, the Constable fired the second and fatal bullet. Richmond, Va. News-Leader. National Baptist Sunday School Union Meets. The regular monthly meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School Union was well attended on last Sunday at the Zlon Baptist Church. So, Richmond President B. H. Peyton called the meeting to order at 8:30 P. M. Rev. Braxton delivered choice words the welcome address on the part of the Church and Sunday School. The response by the President was beftitting and well received. Regitations, solos, and essays from M. Vernon, Fifth Street, Zlon and other Churches were well rendered and timely. The entire programme deserves the highest commendation. Rev. M. H. Payne, Deacon Harris and Brothers James Walls and Joseph Matthews merit our special mention, not saying the least of the sweet solos and duets sung by the ladies, title Sunday School Choir The next Union will be held at the Fifth Street Baptist Sunday School, the second Sunday in December. Mario Thomas, a thirteen-year-old colored girl, whose mother is employed in the household at 1718 Porter Street, was caught in the machinery at the Manchester Mills of which Robert A. Justis is the proprietor, yesterday afternoon, and before medical help arrived bled to death. Coroner John W. Broadnax will hold an inquest this morning at 12 o'clock. The death of the girl may not have been altogether an accident; and the inquest will ascertain whether carelessness of the mills was responsible. She was walking close to the machinery at the time, and was suddenly caught and dragged in, being slashed and slipped to places. It was seen at once that her injuries were fatal. She was taken up and an effort made to stop the great flow of blood, but to no avail. Nelson's Hair Dressing can be secured from the agent, Mr. Joseph Evans, 2803 Webster Avenue, Pittsburg, Pa.

I could quote Bacon, Newton, Locke And others whom the world calls great And know what Hirbert Spencer termed The universal postulate. But when I started reading proof I was but a short time ere I fell. Although I knew what Hirbert taught, I soon found out I could not spell. And, though I thought myself equipped To write exhaustively on fate, Within an hour or two I learned I could but poorly punctuate. And long before the day had passed Much of my confidence had fled. And years went by before I learned To read proof as it should be read. And thus as I go on the life I find, whichever way I turn, So many things I do not know, So much that I have yet to leaf off. We all know something, but the man Who thinks that he has learned the Has failed to learn what knowledge is And has but touched its endure count. -T. Darley Allen. BOY AMBITIONS.

Nothing on earth is so valuable as a human mind. If a diamond is worth polishing at great trouble and cost, much more is the mind of a boy or young man worth all the polishing that the schools can give it. The best education is not too good for a pruning youth. Who would choose a poor physician to save a few cubs when health is in danger! And who would choose an inferior school to save a few dollars when a better school will increase the strength of character and of mind for life and prepare ones for a larger usefulness? Va.

WHEN a woman refuses a man she hopes, that he may not go to the dogs and he hopes that she may not regret her mistake. It makes a man mad to sue the account when he refects that the world owes him a living. Refinement and style are feminine fetishes. Strength and shrewdness are masculine fetishes. Man's inhumanity to man makes countless millions of dividends. Faith may move mountains, but it won't dig ditches. When a man gets the idea into his head that he is abused the only remedy is to really abuse him. Don't say that there is no truth nor honesty left. People may wonder how you know. Be glad that you are alive and it will help some to try to make the neighbors glad. Divorce is the poor woman's refuge and the rich woman's diversion. Not Postical. "He jests at scars who never felt no wound." "Oh, does he, indred?" "That is what the poet says." "Well, he couldn't have been talking about my fussy old runcle, who acts as though the world were coming to an end when he gets a pin scratch." Nothing on earth is so valuable as a human at great trouble and cost, much more is the mis-polishing that the schools can give it. The best youth.
