THE RICHMOND PLANET Editor Mitchell's Long Journey. Echoes of the Yellow Fever.==The Goat Died.== Story of Duelling Oaks.==The French Quarter. The Land of the Sugar Cane. VOLUME XXVII, NO. 47. Editor Echoes of the Story of Duell The L (Continued From Last Week.) We visited the French or Creole quarter and saw the people who spoke French and who hold themselves aloof from the Negro population and who are not received in white society. They were the people whom the old French Creole of swarthy dark complexion had said, "They come from San Domingo. They Negroes. They marry, they get lighter, their children marry and they get lighter. They say they white, but I know them—the Negro. They put slabs on inside of tomb not on outside, but I know them when they children. I know their grandfathers were Negroes and they Negroes, but they say they white." A NEW USE FOR CONCRETE It was interesting to us. We saw many fine residences, and many of these French Creoles are wealthy. They live an exclusive life and have their own society. We were shown through some magnificent cemeteryes. In one of them we saw a large tree which had become hollow. The decayed portions had been removed and in its place concrete had been placed and the tree saved. THE DRIVER'S STORY All streets ultimately begin and end in Canal Street. We were listening to our colored driver as he told of conditions existing during the prevalence of the yellow fever. He stated that white people had the disease, but colored people, especially the darker ones were immune to it. The Italian colony had it and the people there would not admit physiclans except by force. THE GOAT DIED QUICKLY. An Italian's door was broken down and he was found ill with the disease. All efforts to persuade him to take medicine for the disease were unavailing. Finally through the influence of his wife he consented to take the medicine. The doctor left the pills. The ill man told his wife to give one to his goat. She did so and the next morning the goat was dead. It is needless to state that the Italian did not take the other pills. THOSE DUELLING OAKS The magnificence of the drives around New Orleans is one of its chief characteristics. The Spanish palms of tree like proportions attract the attention until the mind wearies and becomes accustomed to the sight. We saw the duelling oaks under which many a man had lost his life. We were told of a case of recent occurrence. It seemed that two white men had an altercation and they agreed to mite under the duelling oaks and fight it out with revolvers. They met and boarded a street car with their seconds. When the car reached the place, one of them jumped out and began shooting the other man before he could defend himself. The wounds were fatal and the actual duel as arranged, did not take place. The man was arrested. The result of his trial was not stated. He was said to be still in jail. The residence of Col. James Lewis was pointed out to us but we did not meet him. We did not have time to accept the hospitality of Mr. Robert E. Jones, the brilliant nestor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. We were soon enroute to the Union Station where we boarded the train for the Far West. The Sunset R. R. has oil-burning locomotives. As this was a matter of interest to us, we soon stood by the side of one of these mighty monsters. This locomotive is built just like the coal-burning ones except that the tender holds oil and water instead of coal and water. Some of the tenders have an oil tank where the coal is usually kept while others have a tender cylindrical in shape. There are no cinders from the locomotive and they make good time. DR. GRAHAM'S TROUBLES Before leaving New Orleans, we COLORED FOLKS TROUBLES learned that Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham and his family were not favorably impressed with the city on account of the failure to secure comfortable quarters during his stay there. We met Mr. J. R. Yourele, Mr. Thomas Banks, Mr. H. E. Braden, Dr. J. E. Willis, dentist, Mr. Charles Eugene of New Orleans was the porter. The discussion of conditions in that section brought out the information that colored people were prospering in and about the cities, and money was being made by colored men on the ranches in the interior. PROSPEROUS COLORED MEN DRIVEN OUT The trouble is that the poor whites envy the Negroes and whenever they see them making progress they drive them away, causing them to lose the accumulations of a life time. There were instances where colored men owned valuable land and yet knowing that to remain and cultivate it would cost them their lives, they were forced to sell it for a mere song. We were now being carried through Louisiana and the parishes as the counties are called presented a strange scene to the man from Virginia. MUCH SUGAR CANE On every side of the track could be seen green sugar cane in abundance. We could also see the winding bayou as the rivers are called. We could now understand the peculiarity of these streams. They wind in and out and one is liable to cross the same stream a half dozen times within an hour. The oak trees along the banks mark the course of the stream. There was an abundance of marsh land. This is indeed a peculiar country. The thick underbrush and foliage, the plants, indigenous to the soil, the people and their habits all possessed a never ending source of interest to us. A POETIC REFERENCE We could now understand the full meaning of Mrs. Josie D. Heard's poem when she said: "We are coming; we are coming, From away in tangled swamp, Where the slimy reptile hid its pois onous head. Through the long night and the day We have heard the bloodhounds bay While the morass furnished us an humble bed." Yes, we were in the land of the swamp, in the land of the sugar cane, in the land of the bloodhound and in the land where human life was almost as cheap as the air we breath ed. It seemed that we would never leave Louisiana. Mr. Mitchell in San Antonio, Texas San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 30.—A grand reception and banquet were tendered Banker John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. last night by the citizens of this city. Mr. Mitchell was the guest of Prof. S. J. Sutton, Principal of the Douglass High School of this city. The affair was informal, but was heartily enjoyed by the guest of the evening. He was the centre of attraction and related many interesting anecdotes with reference to his career. He left this morning for Los Angeles, California to attend the thirty sixth annual session of the American Bankers' Association which meets October 3, 1910. He was delighted with his visit here. —Rev. W. H. Dean, former pastor of Leigh St. Methodist Church of this city but now stationed at Lynchburg, Va. will preach at Leigh Street M. E. Church Sunday night, 23d inst. His many friends and admirers in this city will be glad 'o learn this and will doubtless turn out en masse to hear one who was so popular while living amongst us. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1910. BROWNSVILLE PREJUDICE American Syndicate Co., St. Augustine, Fla. The One Way With the Negro. Elsewhere The Constitution publishes a remarkable communication from P. C. Parks, farm director of Clark University, in which he reports the results of a recent tour through the state, holding farm institutes for the benefit of workers. At many places he was accompanied by Chancellor D. C. Barrow, of the University of Georgia. Professor Parks stresses three factors often cited by The Constitution American Syndicate Co., St. A Brow and worthy of close study by those white southerners who strive to accomplish serious progress in the solution of the so-called Negro problem. 1. The fact that education that fits the Negro for occupations for which he is naturally and by opportunity qualified is equivalent to issuing an insurance policy against his ever becoming a criminal or a vagrant. 2. The necessity of representative white people lending their personal influence to the instruction and encouragement of the Negro. 3. The imperative need of measures in behalf of the great mass of Negroes in this State, the "croppers" upon whose efforts largely depends the prosperity of their white neighbors. There can be no question regarding the accuracy of each of Parks' premises. The inefficient Negro or the idle Negro is a possible criminal, needing only temptation or opportunity to become the actual criminal. Education that will fit him for tasks waiting his hands—and agriculture leads the list in that respect in the Southern states—minimizes or almost removes this risk. This is precisely what Luther Rosser meant when he said the other day, in discussing the difficulty of securing teachers for the Negro students in Atlanta, that "there are over 2,000 colored children in this city who are crowded out of school. In my mind, it is cheaper to pay teachers to instruct them than in inafter years to pay for police and jails to punish them." The so-called Negro "problem" and its remedy could not be stated in terms more cogent or truthful. Director Parks stresses also the value of representative white people actively cooperating with, encourag- ing and training the Negroes in efforts toward their own advancement. He cites his experience in Hart county, and shows the splendid effect upon progress when such prominent citizens as " Judge W. L. Hodges, Hon. A. J. McMullan and other distinguished men come and discuss these subjects in a frank and helpful way." This phase of Parks' recommendations, and the instruction of Negro institutes by representative white citizens, is by no means an innovation. Judge Hodges and Mr. McMullan, and thousands of other prominent white men who likewise extend practical encouragement to the Negroes by attending their meetings and advising them in person, are simply reviving the practices by which the ante-bellum patriarchal system made of the Negro an industrious and God-fearing individual. By and large, it is the type of Negro mentioned by Parks as anxious to own his own home, and to seek the counsel of white men, that are to-day offering the most hope of genuine advancement. The Negro who is trained to work with his hands, to become industrious to own property and to acquire a "stake in the country," has been presented with an insurance policy against vagrancy and its product—crime—Atlanta, Ga. Constitution. —Subscribe to The PLANET. BRO PRESIDENCE Augustine, Fla. nsville Will Not CLAIM RITUAL WAS PIRATED. Colored Elks Seek Adjustment of Suit was entered yesterday afternoon in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by James E. Mills, trustee, against J. Frank Wheaton, on behalf of the complaint as trustee for the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ohio, and Benjamin Franklin Howard of Cincinnati, for the recovery of $15,000 damages. Mills and Wheaton are Negroes, the one residing in Norfolk and the other in New York City, and the order involved is the colored organization of that name. In the papers filed it is stated that Howard organized a grand lodge in 1889, with himself as grand exalted ruler for the time beginning until August, 1909, continuously. In that month the Grand Lodge met in Detroit and James E. Mills was elected to succeed Howard, who then agreed to turn over to the Grand Lodge, the ritual of the order, with all rights, titles and interest Howard could have by virtue of his copyright, for the sum of $5,000, the copyright having been issued to him June 12, 1902. Against Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, it is charged that he had the ritual reprinted and vended, which, it is alleged, constituted an infringement on the copyright. It is further charged that Wheaton, by his agents, servants and followers, has grossly misled the public, and is still doing so, and that the Grand Lodge has been rendered wholly unable to keep its contract with Howard, to whom the $5,000 might have been paid had it not been for the alleged interference. The complainant prays for $15,000 damages, and, on failure to prove the alleged damage through concealment of fact by the defendant, he prays special damages for the benefit of its beneficiaries in the sum of $5,000. The complainant prays for a subpoena to be issued for Wheaton and for John T. Taylor of 728 North Second Street, and asks further that the defendant's agents, servants and followers be preliminarily enjoined and restrained from the further use of the alleged pirated ritual, or any words, phrases or sentences thereof. —Times-Dispatch.

CHURCH Located at Cor. 5th and Jackson Sts. RICHMOND, VA. Weekly News Column. REV. W. F. GRAHAM, D. D., Pastor, Residence: 108 E. Leigh St., Richmond, Va. J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. There was a lovely time at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday. Sunday morning was indeed a love feast. We can't recall the day when everybody was carried to such a high spiritual pitch as they were last Sunday morning. Pastor Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham was far beyond his usual manner; a new spirit or we might say the Holy Ghost took the entire possession of him seemingly. We don't think the Doctor himself realized the circumstances and surroundings. The Doctor's subject was, "Lo, I am with thee always, even to the end of the world," a subject he had often preached, but not as he did last Sunday morning. The sermon was indeed heartfelt. If such services as this one were preached in our church every Sunday and in the other churches likewise, we don't think sinners could stand out in open rebellion. There would be no need of so many restraining laws to which all of our churches resort. "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me," is a phrase and proposition worthy of the most earnest consideration of all Christians especially the ministry. While civilization under the influence of Christianity, has done much for humanity, we feel that only half of the good has been accomplished, which would have been accomplished by it, if in all of our ways we had acknowledged God. The Christians of our country can revolutionize government and everything else need to be revolutionized if they will discharge their duty according to the commandment of Christ. Prayerfully and faithfully ask, and it shall be given, seek and we shall find and knock and the door of good and prosperity shall be opened unto us. Sunday night Rev. E. D. McCreary of the Union University preached a good sermon, which was enjoyed by all. Dr. W. F. Graham was at the Second Baptist Church, South Richmond, Va., where he preached for the Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis. The Second Baptist Church is celebrating its anniversary. The Fifth Street Baptist Church Choir did fairly well Sunday morning. The solo of Nelson G. Booker was enjoyed by the entire congregation. * * * (Sunday School is still improving. The new resolve has done much good. Officers and teachers are becoming more and more zealous and the scholars are following in their footsteps. If the officers and teachers carry out their resolve to meet at 9:30, the parents or children say by their actions, their children shall meet them. They realize that the children are to take the places of the teachers and officers sometime in the future. Our motto text continues to be "Punctuality." It was carried out promptly Sunday morning. Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton opened the school promptly at the time. Another feature incidental to our motto text is being discussed and will be operated if necessary. Dr. Johnson of Alexandria, Va. was present and delivered a fine talk to the school, which was well received. Mr. Matthew Doyle favored the school with one of his sweet solos. Be on time Sunday morning.—Estelle D. Ward.) The Prayer Services last Wednesday night were fairly good. The Church has resolved to make this department better in every way. The younger members are thinking along the same line. Usually the young element of the church don't go to Prayer Meetings. They have heretofore given it over almost entirely to those in advanced years, but we think by a little exertion they can be gotten out. They can do much in this respect. Come out Wednesday night on time. --- B. Y. P. U. Meeting nights, Friday night of each and every week. These meetings will be of untold good. Come out on time Friday night. President John W. Howard desires to have you come on time. Don't forget Rally Sunday. Let everybody do his duty. We are pleased to note the marriage of Asst. Superintendent R. H. Fauntleroy and Miss Annie E. Morris, which will take place Thursday morning. October 27, 1910. PRICE, FIVE CENTS Hyacinth Circle Meets Hyacinth Circle meet Friday evening, October 14th at the residence of Mrs. W. P.

I should say, gasped Boyd to the reporter. "No, sir. Alton Clydei He was pretty talkative the night I saw him." The reporter laughed mea- ly. "Drunk, do you mean?" "Oh, not exactly drunk but pretty wet. He knew what he was saying, however. Can't you give me something more?" "Nothing." Boyd hurried to his hotel, a prey to mingled anger and contention. So Fraser had told the truth, after all, and with a kind of sullied jersey had chosen, to remain under a cloud himself rather than inform on a friend. It was quite in keeping with the fellow's po- surement. As it happened, Boyd found the two men together and lost no time in acquiring them with his discovery. "I come to apologize to you," he said to Fraser, who grinned broadly and was acted with a sudden abas- ment which stilled his tongue. Emer- son turned to Clyde. "Why did you permit me to do this injustice?" "I-I didn't mean to give out any secrets—I don't remember doing it." Alton apologized lamely. "You know I can't drink much. I don't remember a thing about it. honestly." Boyd regarded him coldly, but the young man seemed so quiet he looked so weak, so pitifully inconvenient, that the other lacked heart to gastlase him. It requires resistance to develop heat, and against the absence of character it is impossible to create any sort of emotion: "When you got drunk that night you not only worked a great hardship on all of us, but afterward you allowed me to misjudge a very faithful man," declared Boyd. "If you can't keep a gloss month and do as you are told you can't be a good man." "Don't climb any higher." admonished "Fingerticks." Fraser. "It's all nuffed up now. I'll lay you 8 to 1 you don't make another break of the kind." "No; I was so com-posed plettely pickled that I forgot I even spoke about the salmon cannibal business. I'll break my corkscrew and seal my mask, and from this moment until we come out next fall the demon rum and I are divorced. Is that good news?" "Everything is a joke to you, isn't it?" said Boyd. "If this trip doesn't make a man of you, you'll never grow up." As if Hillard's conversion had marked the landing point of their lack, the partnership now entered upon a period of almost uninterrupted success. Boyd signed his charter, securing a tramp stenner then discharging at Tacoma; Bait closed his contracts for Chinese labor, and the scattered carolls of material which had been lost on route or mysteriously laid out on sidings began to come in as if of their own accord. A brigade of orientals and a miniature army of fishermen had appeared as if by magic and were quartered in the lower part of the city awaiting shipment. At the dock one throbbing April evening the Bedford-Castle berthed,_ready to receive her cargo, and the two men made their way toward their hotel, weary, but glowing what the grateful sense of an arduous duty well performed. The following morning would find the wharf awarming with stairpores and echoing to the battle of trucks, the clank of bolts and the shrill whistles of the signalism. "Looks like they couldn't stop us now," said Balk. "It does," agreed Emerson. "We ought to clear in four days—that'll be the 15th." "It snells like an early spring, too," the fisherman observed, sniffing the air. "If it well be in Kalkiv the first week in May." "I'm off to tell Cherry," said Boyd. His course took him past Hilliard's bank, and when abreast of it he nearly collided with a man who came hurrying forth. In the well groomed, fiery haired, plump figured, man Emerson recognized the manager of the North American Packer"s association. "Good evening, Mr. Marsh." Marsh whirled about. "Eh? All Why, yes, it's Emerson." Marsh informed Boyd of the anger of Hilliard's father at his canning enterprise and also that Hilliard and Mr. Wayland were to visit Kalvik on a yachting tour. Emerson was great on the water, and he realized that Marsh had arrived on the spot because Hilliard had granted his opponents their-needed loan. The man separated. The next morning Hat'fushed in on Emerson, with news that the laborers loading the Bedford Castle had gone on a strike because the captain, Pesay, rightly refused a demand of $2,000 by the union. "It's Marsh again," said Big George. "Yes," Emerson answered; "It's a holdup pure and simple." A look of intense anxiety came into his eyes. When Boyd returned some two hours later, his dock saved save for Big George, who prized watchfully about the freight planes. "Well, did you fix it up?" the man inquired. "No," exclaimed Boyd. "It's a rank frame-up, and I refused to be bled." "Good for you." There are some things a fellow manhood won't stand for. I'll carry that freight apart, with my own hands, until the union at the bidding of Willie Marsh. "Hey, will you let me load this ship if I have money?" Author of "The Spoilers" and "The Barrier" HARPER & BROTHERS Ball's thick lips drew back from his yellow teeth in that smile which Emerson had come to recognize as a harbinger of the violent acts that rejoiced his fictional soul. "Listen," said he, with a chuckle. "Down the street youonder I got a hundred fishermen. Half of them are drunk at this minute and the rest are half drunk." "Then they are of no use to us." "I don't reckon you over seen a herd of Kalvik fishermen out of a job, did you? Walk, they'd have two things they know, fishing and fighting, and this isn't the fishing season. When you put up the residence and stuff and cotton in its cars, because the only thing that is strong enough to stand between a uniform and a fisherman is a hill." "Can you induce them to work?" "I can. All I'm afraid of is that I can't induce them to quit. They're liable to put his freight aboard the Bedford Castle and then pull down the dock in a spirit of playfulness and Captain Peau's table. There aren't no convolution of nature that's equal to a gang of idle fishermen." "Well, it will take me all night to round them up, and I'll have to lick four or five, but there ought to be a dozen or two on hand in the morning." George cast a roaring eye over the warehouse from the heavy planking underfoot to the wide spanning rafters above. "Yes," he concluded, "I don't see nothing breakable, so I guess it safe." "Would you like me to go with you?" The following morning, true to his word, the big fellow walked into the warehouse followed by a score or more of burly fishermen. Balt bore signs of strife. The big man's lips were cut, while back of one ear a knot had sprung up overnight like a fungus. They fell to work quickly, stripping themselves to their undershrirts; they manned the hoists, seized trucks and balo books and began their tasks with a thoroughly nonunion energy. Some of them were still so drunk that they staggered, their awkwardness affording huge sport to their companions, their indistinction, they were surprisingly capable. George sought out Bord and proudly inquired: "What do you think of them, eh?" "They are splendid. But where are the others?" "Well, there are two or three that won't be able to get around at all." He meditatively stroked the knuckles of his right hand, which were badly bruised. "But the balance will be here tomorrow. These are just the gaudest mannered ones—the family then, you might any. The others will show up gradual." The work had not continued many hours before a stranger made his way to the desk and he met to argue with the first sassman he met. Boyd, approaching him, demanded: "What do you want?" "Nothing," said the newsman. "Then get out." "What for? I'm just talking to this man." "Will you go?" "Say, you can't load that cargo this way," the man began threateningly. "And you can't make me go!" At which Emerson selted him by the collar and quickly disproved, the assertion, to the great delight of the fathom. He thrust him out into the street. "I'm a union man, and you can't load that ship with 'scabs.' The stranger aware as he slunk off. The first actual violence, however, occurred when the fisherman knocked off for the noon hour. Boyd called up the police department, then summoned difficulty that the monotonous crew fought its way back to resume work at 1 o'clock. During the afternoon the strikers made several attempts to enter the dock shed, and it required a firm stand by the guards to restrain them. The next morning found the prononion men out in such force that they were divided into a night and a day crow, half of them being sent back to report later, while among the mountains of freight the work went forward faster than ever. But in time the city awoke to the realization that a serious conflict was in progress. The handful of fishermen, outnumbered twenty to one and guarded only by a thin line of pickets, became a center of general interest. That body capped the man fit the gray suit among the strikers and pointed him out to his three companions. Clyde and Fraer having joined him and George in a spirit of curiosity. Late in the afternoon, without a moment's warning, the strikers rushed in a body, bearing down the guards like reeds. Epsonson and his companions found themselves carried away before the onslaught like chips in the surft, then sucked into a melathem where the first duty was self-preservation. Boyd succeeded in keeping, his footing and eventually, fought his way to a backing of, created, machinery, where, he stopped and slipped, a claot loop. Then, laying about, him with this weapon, he clear- of a space. "At the first alarm the tuberburus had armed themselves with bare books and bridges and for a time worked havoc among their assailants. "Being Clyde in a helpless condition, Emerson shouted. "Coin on son. I'll help you aboard the ship." He found a hardwood club beneath his feet and with it cleaned a pathway for Clyde and himself. "He suddenly spied the man in the array that climbed upon one of the frightened men, nibbling the crowd. The man recognized Emerson and pointed him out. The next instant Bord saw him approaching, followed by several others. Then, though Bord fell back farther, the others rushed in and he found himself hard beset. What happened thereafter neither he nor Alon Clyde, who was half dazed to begin with, ever clearly remembered. Before he had recognized the personal nature of the assault Euer found himself engaged in a furious hand to hand struggle. Then a sudden blackness swallowed him up, after which he found himself upon his knees, his arms loosely encircling a pair of legs. As he struggled upward something amoeba hit him, kicking the force and he went to his knees. He could only raise his shoulder and fling as arm weakly above his head in anticipation of the crushing blow he HE COULD ONLY FLING AN ARM WEAKLY ABOVE HIS HEAD. thought was coming. But it did not descent. Instead he heard a gunshot. A weight sank across his calves. Then, with a final effort, he pulled himself free and staggered to his feet. his head roiling, his knees sagging. He saw a man figure facing him and lingered at it to bring up in the arms of "Fingerless" Fraser "Boy turned and behold the body of a man stretched face downward on the floor. Beyond the fellow in the gray suit was disappearing into the crowd. Then he saw a gleam of blue metal in Fraser's heads. "Give me that gun!" he panted. "I may need it myself, and I ain't got but the one hee. Let's get Clyde out of here." Fraser lifted the young clubman, who was huddled in a formless heap as if he had fallen from a great height, and together the two dragged him toward the Bedford Castle. That night under glaring headlines the evening papers told the story, reporting a fisherman fatally hurt, one striker dead of a gunshot wound and many others injured. CHAPTER XII. HALF mile from Captain Pease's船 the ship the rival company tenders were loading rapidly with union labor. The next day Emerson and Clydo drove down the ship, loading it into carriage, experiencing no annoyance beyond some passengers and insults as they passed through the picket line. Bord and barely seen them comfortably established on board when up the ship's gangway came "Finglerose". Fraser radiantly attired, three heavily indented hotel porters grunting on at the thick waisted cigar between his teeth. "Are you going with us?" Boyd inquired. "Sure." "See herel. In life one long succession of surprise parties with you?" "Why, I've ignored on this right slong." "But the ship is jammed now. There is no room." "Oh, I fixed that up long ago. I am going to break with the award." "In the world didn't you let us know you were coming?" "Say, don't kid yourself. You know I couldn't stay behind." Fresner blew a cloud of smoke stifly. "I never start anything I can't finish. I keep telling you, and I'm going to put this deal through now that I've got it started." With a half embarrassed laugh and a complete change of manner, she laid his hand upon Boyd's shoulder, saying: "Fal, I didn't much good to myself or anybody else, but I like you and I want to stick around. Maybe I'll come in useful yet—you can call." Emerson had never glimped this side of the man's nature, and it rather surprised him. "Of course you can come along, old man," he responded heartily. "We're glad to have you." The docks of the big, low lying trainstommer were piled high with gear of every description. Ready now to sail, Boyd went out to the dock office to wire Mildred of his success. Fingerless Fraser soon ran up upon him. "They've come to grab you for killing that striker," he began breathlessly. "There's a couple of 'square tocs' on the dock now. Better take it on the 'ism'-quick!" "God!" So Morst had withheld this stroke, until the last moment. "You'd better 'doat' it, quick!" "How? I couldn't get through that crowd. They know me. Listen!" Cutside the street broke into a roar at some point of the fishermen high up in the rigging. "I can't run away, and if those detectives get me I'm ruined." Boyd attached his hands to despera, then: "I guess they've got me," he said hittily. "There's no way out." "From what he told me I don't think they knew you, you never complained with them, they waited to plant your pot, when they come of me to buy a car they can buy," he said. "Something hard for me, simply I have to create it in plain white. Through the door of the office that opened up, the dock props they behold the green nood almost entirely clean. Save for a few tons of freight at which Big Georgetown men were working, it was an unrestricted as a lawn, and although it was nearly the size of a city block, it afforded no more means of concealment than old the little office, itself, with its glass doors, its counter, and its long dead, at the father end of which a bill clerk was poring over his talk. They saw at the foot of the gangway men talking, with Big George. They saw at the front strangers casually to the office, whence he had seen Boyd disappearing a few moments before, and turn back to his storedores. Then they saw the plain clothes men approaching. "Heter. Glimps your coat and hat, quick!" cradles Fraser in a low voice, his eyes blazing at a sudden thought. He stripped his own garments from his back with fervish haste. "Put mine on. There! I'll stall for you. When they grab me, take it on the run. Understand." "That won't do. Everybody knows me." Boyd cast an apprehensive glance at the arched back of the bill clerk, but Fraser, quick of resource in such a situation, forced him swiftly to change a change, saying: "Nit. It isn't out. Stand here, see." He indicated a position beside the rear door. "I'll step out the other way where they can see me," he continued, pointing to the wagon way at the right. "Savvy? When they grab me you beat it and don't wait for nothing." "But you— Already they could hear the footsteps of the officers. "I'll take a chance. Goodbye." There was no time even for a handshake. Fraser stepped swiftly to the door, then strolled quietly out into the view of the two men, who an instant later accepted him. "What's your secret?" The adventure answered brusquely, "Yes, but I can't tell you now." "You are under arrest, Mr. Emerson." Boyd waited to hear no more. The glass door swung open noiselessly under his hand, and he stepped out just as the bill clerk looked up from his work, staring out through the other entrance. "Fingering." Fraser's voice was louder now, as if for a signal. "Arrest me? What do you mean? Get out of my way." "You'd better come precocely." Boyd heard a sharp exclamation—"Get him, Bill!" and then the sound of men strung. He ran, followed by a root from the strikers, in whose full view Prince's encounter with the plain clothes man was taking place. A backward glance showed him that he had drawn his pursuers to the street. Searcely had Boyd reached Big George when a wing of the besieging army swept in through the unguarded entrance and down the dock like an avalanche, leaving behind them the battling officers and the hungry pack clamoring for the prisoner. "Drop that freight and get aboard the best way you can!" Boyd yelled at the fishermen, and, with a bound, was taken to Captain Penley on the bridge: "Here you connel Cast off, for God's sake!" The dozen men who had been slinging freight on the dock hastened up the ganglank or climbed the fenders, while the signalman clung to the lifting tackle and, at the piping cry of his whistle, was swung aloft out of the very arms of the rollers. Above, on the flying bridge, Captain Peacley was bellowing orders. At last the Bedford Castle was under way. Even after they were miles down the sound Boyd remained at his post, sweeping the waters natern in an unnoxious search for some swift barbercraft, the appearance of which would signal that his escape had been discovered. "I won't feel safe until we are part Port Townsend," he confessed to Cherry, who maintained a position at his side. "The police can wire on from Sentite to stop us and take me off at that point." "If they find out their mistake." "They must have found it out long ago. That's why I've got Peasley forcing this old tub. She's doing 10 knots, and that's a breakback speed for her. Once were through the straits I'll be satisfied." "What will happen to Fraser?" she queried. "Nothing serious, I am sure. You see, they wanted me and nobody else. Once they had they have the wrong man I rather belter they will free him in disguise." A moment later he went on: "Just the same, they made me feel depressed and to leave him. I—wouldn't desert a comrade for anything if the choice lay with me." "You did quite right." Cherry warmly assured him. "You see, I am not working for myself. I am doing this for another." It was the girl's turn to sigh softly, while the eyes she turned toward the west were strangely sad and dreamy. "Two boots, more," he told her as the ship's belfast, sounded, "then I can eat and sleep and sing." Captain Peasley was pacing the bridge when later they breathed the glaze of Port Townsend and saw in the distance she fashing starlightly of the forts that guard the shrubs. They saw him stop suddenly and raise his night glances. Boyd laid his hand on Cherry's arm. Precisely the captain crossed to them and said: "Tondor seems to be a launch making out. Soell I wonder what's up by Joral They're signaling." The two boats were drawn together rapidly and soon there, out the bridge heart the palm but, increasing pattier of a gasoline exhaust. Carrying the same story as the Bedford Castle. The launch shortly came within, having distance. The cyclones were at the shire's境地light. Nated up, and the neat instant out from the gloom leased a little craft on the back of which a push stood waiting a northern. She held steadily to her course, and a voice posted up to them: "Ahoyl. What ability?" "The Bedford Castle, canner tender, for Bristol boy." Penley, shouted back: "The man on the launch relinquished his lantern and using both palms for a funnel, cited more clearly now!" "Heave lot. We want to come aboard." With an explanation of impatience, the commanding officer stepped to the telegraph, but Emerson forestall him. "Walt. They're after me, captain; it the Port Townsend police, and if you let them aboard they'll take me on." The stupper, the stupper bellowed: "Who you?" "Police!" "What did I tell you?" cried Emerson. "What do you want?" "One of your passengers—Emerson Heave to. You're passing us." "That's bloody hard luck, Mr. Emerson; I can't help myself," the captain declared. But again Boyd blocked him as he stared for the telegraph. "I won't stand it, sir. It's a conspiracy to ruin me." "But, my dear young man—" "Don't touch that instrument!" "I launch a sound of growing rehearsal and start a murmur of voices roar, from somewhere in the darkness of the deck beneath." "Stand aside!" Pesley ordered grudely. But the other held his ground, saying quietly: "I warn you, I am desperate." "Shall I stop her, sir?" the quartermaster asked from the shadows of the wheelhouse. "Not" Emerson emmanded sharply, and in the glow from the binnacle light-they saw he saw had drawn his revolver, while on the instant up from the vold beneath heaved the invasive figure of Big George Balt, a behemoth, and until dismounting than ever in the dim light. He wrenched open the door and with one sweep of his hatty paw sung the helmman from his post, painting. "Keep her going, cap, or I'll run them down." The launch was commanded of them now and skimming along so close that his hair have saved a dishevel aboard of her. The appurtened of the craft alongside was now punctured by a volley of curses. The police launch sheered off, and the sound of her exhaust grew rapidly fainter and faint. But not until it had wholly ceased did Big George give over his post at the wheel. Even then he went down the ladder reluctantly and without a word of thanks, of explanation or of apology. With him this had been but a part of the day's work. He saw neither sentiment nor humor in the episode. From the crow's nest of the Bedford Castle a week later the lookout stared down upon a white expanse that stretched beyond the horizon. At dawn they began their careful search, feeling their way eastward through the open lanes and tortuous passages that separated the foes, now laying to for the northward set of the fields to clear a path before them, now stealing through some narrow lead that opened into free waters. Captain Peaster did all the navigating in person, but eventually they were hemmed in so closely that for a day and a night they could do nothing but drift with the pack. In time, however, the winds opened a crevice through which they retreated to follow the outer limits further eastward until one storm opened and Late one evening they discerned smoke on the hopper, and the next morning's light showed a three masted steamship fast in the lee a few miles to the westward. "That's the Jullet." Big George informed his companions, "one of the North American Packers' association tenders." "She was loading when we left Seattle," Boyd remarked. "It is Willis Marsil's ship, so he must be aboard, supplemented by Chef." "She is well equipped and built for this business. If we don't look out he'll beat us in after pill." "What good will that do him?" Clyde questioned. "The fish don't bite—I mean run-for sixty days yet." Emerson and Baltion merely shrugged. To Cherry Malotte this had been a voyage of dreams, for once away from Ind. Boyd had become his real self again—that genial, irpressible self she had seen but rarely—and his manner had lost the restraint and coessiness which recently had disturbed their relations. Of necessity their cramped environment had thrown them much together, and their companionship had been most pleasant. Two days after sighting the Juliet they raised another ship, one of the sailing feet which they knew to be hovering in the offing, and then on the 5th of the month the capricious current opened a way for them. Slowly at first they pushed on between the flocs into a vast then off-shift ke, thence to a stretch as open and placid as a country still pond. The lookout pointed a path out of this, into which my steamed, coming at length to clear water, with the low shores of the mainland twenty miles away. At *sunday* they anchored in the wide estuary of the Kelvik river, the noise of the breaking alley that for months had lain like a another upon the port. CHAPTER XII BYER did mon have more willing hands to do their bidding than did Boyd and George, and when a week later the Jailster with Willis Marsh on board, chase to anchor the bank hoods were up and pegged "while the' new life had come a beehive of activities. The japuchi of or the Kavit' Nite is several milies, vilda, yer it hobbing in the ditch, and the ditch is a ditch draft alphe, the roof of the harbor being undertaken with mind and tide and tide he given which none but small boats may carry, and was the committee are distributed and down the stream for a considerable distance it is necessary to transport all supplies to and from the ships by means of tugs and lighters. Owing to the narrowness of the channel the jujit came to the sea Castle. To Marach, already furtions at the trick the ice had played him, this forced proximity to his rival brought home with added irony the fact that he had been forestaled, while it emphasized his knowledge that henceforth the conflict would be carried on at closer quarters. It would be a contest between two men, both determined to win by fair means or soul. It was on the afternoon following his arrival that Marach after a tour of inspection landed from his launch and strolled up to—where Boryd amphibian teodalp, if it be cool, and found, as on their last meeting, that his own bearing was reflected exactly in that of Boryd. "I see you have a number of my old fisherman," Marsh observed. "Yes; we were fortunate." "You are very lucky." "Indeed! How?" "Well, don't you think you were lucky to beat that stucco?" "Don't you always stucco jerk. However, I do consider myself fortunate in escaping at the last moment," Boyd laughed cainly. "By the way, what happened to the man they mistook for me?" "Let him go. I believe. I didn't pay much attention to the matter. I rather think you will have a lot to explain one of these days," he said, with deliberate unence. Cases of salmon aboard the Bodford Castle I will explain anything. Meanwhile the police may go to the devil." "You got away from Seattle, but there is a commissioner at Dutch Harbor, also a deputy marshal, who may have better success with a warrant than those policemen but. The other man is the angry tremor in his voice, and the other, perceiving it, replied in a manner designed to infuse him still more: "Yes, I have heard of those officers. I understand they are both in your employ." "What!" "I hear you have bought them." "Do you mean to insult me?" "I don't mean to insult anything. Listen! We are where we can talk plainly, Marsh, and I am tired of all this subterfuge. You did what you could to stop me, you even tried to have me killed!" "You dare to" "But I guess it never occurred to you that I may be just as desperate as you are. I broke through in spite of you, and I'm on the job. If you want to cry quite, I'm willing, and I won't be haked, and if any of your bired impulses try to take me before I catch it, I'll put you away. Understand?" William Marsh recalled involuntarily. "You are insane," he cried. "Am I?" Emerson laughed harshly, "Well, I'm just crazy enough to do what I ask. Don't come back here until I send for you. Something might fall on you." "Then it is to be war, eh?" "Suit yourself." Boyd polished to the shore. As Marsh made his way to the waters' edge he stumbled like a blind man; his lips were bleeding where his small, sharp teeth had bitten them and he painted an unsturbed woman. During the next fortnight the sailing ships began to assemble, standing in under a great spread of canvas to berth close alongside the two steamships. On the morning after the arrival of the last ship Emerson and his companions were treated to a genuine surprise. Cherry had come down to the site as usual—she could not let a day go by without visiting the place—and Clyde after a tardy breakfast had just come ashore. They were watching Big George direct the launching of a snow when all of a sudden they heard a fox voice behind them cry cheerfully: "Hello, white folklore! Here we are all together again." They turned to behold a villainous looking man beaming benignly upon them. He was dirty, his clothes were in rags, and through a riotous bristle of board that hid his tilt features a mandy patch showed on either check, it was undeniably "Fingerless" Fraser, but how changed, how altered, from that radiant flower of indulence they held, to a palid, emcelled and bedraggled. "Fraser" they cried in chorus, then fell upon him noisily. Fraser drew himself up with infused dignity, then spoke in dramatic accents. "I worked my way!" "How? Where?" "On that bloody wind jammer." "But the police" queried Boyd. "Oh. I squared them mary. It's you they want. Yes, sir, I worked. I'm a scutery mind." "Tell us about it," urged Cherry. "What's the use?" he demanded, with a glare at Clyde. "That bonehead wouldn't understand." "Go ahead," Bird cooed, with twitching lips. "You look as if you had worked, and worked hard." "Woll, there isn't any Pilgrim running to this resort, so I slow 'n away on a coal burner, but somebody dags me. Then I try to hire-out as a fisherman, but I ally there with the gang talk and my stuff-drug, so, I ask it for a bide-away on the Blessed Lab. and for a moniker. This sailor of minas goes good to grub me, but he never shows for forty-eight hour-or-years, I forget whilch. Anthrop, I stand it as long as I can, then I dig my-way up to 'n latch and mow like a house cat. it seems they wore from the start, and bathed this down on pimping and hid. Oh! it's a tinker, joke and they all get 'n lhammeth laugh when I show, when I offer to jay my way they are insulted. Nix, Nix, ally, ally, great. Thewouldn't I take money from a "FHASEM!" GUY CHRIED IN CHORUS. stranger. Oh, no! They permit me to work my way. The scouten has quit, see? So they promote me to his job. "You deserved this morning, eh?" "I did. I want a hale and some clean clothes and a whole lot of sleep." He was granted his desires. The Bedford Gaillie having discharged her cargo stained away to return in August. The middle of June brought the first king salmon, scouts sent on ahead of the "stockyears." but Bord made no effort to take advantage of this run, laboring manfully to prepare for the advance of the main army, that terrific bord that was soon to come from the sea. The deputy officer made no ruin him. Once the run proper started there would be no more opportunity for building or for setting up machinery. He must be ready and writing by the first of July. For some time his tin machines had been busy night and day turning out great heaps of gleaming cans, while the carpeaters and machinists completed their tasks. The gill notters were overhauling their gear, the beach was lined with fishing boats. On their dock great piles of selens and drift nets were being inspected. Three miles below Big George with a picked crew and a piledriver was building the fishrup. It consisted of half mile "heads" or rows of piling, capped with stringers upon which netting was hung and terminated in "hearts." "corrais" and "spillers," the intricate arrangements of webbing and��ers out of which the fish were to be taken. As for Boyd the fever in his reins mounted daily as he saw his dream assuring concrete form. Always he found Cherry at his shoulder, unobtrusive and silent for the most part yet intensely observant and keenly alive to every action. She seemed to have the faculty of divination, knowing when to be silent and when to join her mood with his, and she gave him valuable help, for she possessed a practical mind. One day when their preparations were nearly completed a foreman came to Boyd and said exertedly: "Boyd I'd like you to look at the fronds right away." "Whady up?" "I don't know, but something is wrong." A hurried examination showed the machines to be enclosing crippled; certain parts were entirely missing while others were broken. The iron Chukk. or mechanical cleaner, is perhaps the most ingenious of the many labor saving devices used in the salmon fisheries. It is an awkward tool, yet very effective contrivance of involving kelp and conveyors which soakes the fall whole and it cleans it, clipped, cut and ready for use. With spikes of doctorly detail, the two eyes of twenty lightning like butchers. Without the aig of those iron Chinks Boyd know that his fish would spoil before they could be handled. He hastened straightway to George Balt. A half hour's run down the boy and he clambers from his launch to the pilot driver, amid the confusion and noise, he made known his tilting. The big fellow's cannibals imazed him. "What are you going to do now?" "Butcher by hand," told the fisherman. "But how? That takes skilled labor—lots of it." George grinned. "I'm too old a bird to be caught like this. I figured on accidents from the start, and when I lured my Chinamen I included a crew, of cutters. Willis Marsh will have to try again." CHAPTER XIV. HILE they were talking a, tugboat towing a pilo driver cam- into view. Boyd asked the meaning of its presence in this part of the river. "I don't know," answered Big George, staring intently. "Yonder lookin' like another one behind it, with a raft of piles." I thought all the company traw- pled to me. "Go," he did. I can't toll what they're up to." A half four later, when the new Botella had, come to anchor a short distance below, Emerson's companion began to swam. "I might have known it." "What?" "Main" aims to "work us." "What is that?" "He's going to build a trap on each side of this one and cut off our fish." "Good Lord! Can he do that?" "Sure! Why not? The law gives us 800 yards both ways. As long as he stays outside of that limit he can do anything he wants to." "Then of what use is our trap? The salmon follow definite courses close to the shore, and if he intercepts them before they reach us—why, then we'll get only what he lets through." "That's his plan," said Big George slowly. "It's an old game, but it don't always work. You can't tell what if you will do it. They do it." He studied this point of land for two years, and I know more about it than anybody else except the Creator. If the fish, big, the shore, then we're up against it, but it thinks they atடுre to about them. ```markdown ``` sile. We can't tell, though, till the run starts. All we can do now is see that them people keep their distance." The "lead" of a salmon trap consists of a row of web hung piling that runs out from the shore for many hundred feet, forming a high, stout fence that turns the schools of fish and leads them into cunningly contrived inclosures, or "pounds" at the outer extremity, from which they are "brailed" as needed. Those corrales are so built that once the fish are inside they cannot escape. The entire structure is covered with netting, the salmon will not make a short turn, but will swim as nearly as possible in a straight line, it looked to Boyd as if Marsh, by blocking the line of progress above and below, and virtually destroyed the efficiency of the new trap, rendering the cost of its construction a total loss. That evening when he had seen the night shift started Emerson decided to walk up to Cherry's house, for he was worried over the day's developments and felt that an hour of the girl's society might serve to clear his thoughts. Cherry's house was situated a short distance above the cinnery which served as Willis Marsh's headquarters, and Bokor was posted in him past his enemy's very strongphil. Finding the tide too high to permit of passing beneath the dock, he turned up among the buildings, where, to his surprise, he encountered his own dwarf, aerman talking earnestly with a stranger. The fisherman started gullily. "What are you doing here, Larsen? asked Boyd. "I just walked up after supper to have a talk with an old mate." "Who is he?" "He's Mr. Marsh's foreman." Emerson spoke out bluntly: "See here. I don't like this. These people have caused me a lot of trouble already, and I don't want my men hanging around here." "Oh, that's all right," said Larsen carlessly. "Willm and me used to fish together." and as if this were a sufficient explanation he turned back to his conversation, leaving Emerson to proceed on his way. He found Cherry at home and, flinging himself into one of her easy chairs, relieved his mind of the day's occurrences. "Marsh is building those traps purely out of spite, she declared indigently when he had finished. He doesn't need any more fish—he has plenty of traps farther up the river." "To be sure! It looks as if we might have to depend upon the gill noters." "We will know before long. If the fish strike in where George expects Marsh will be out a pretty penny." But the do the best when George expects we will be out all the expense of building that trap." "Exactly! It's a fascinating business, isn't it? It's a business in which the unexpected is forever happening. But the stakes are high, and I know you will succeed. By the way," she continued, "have you heard the historic story about the pink salmon?" He shook his head. "Well, there was a certain shroud old cannery man in Washington state whose catch was the fish that they sold of pink salmon. They were selling it, and they printed this man printed a lot of striking can labels, which read, 'Best Grade Pink Salmon, Warranted Not to Turn' Red in the Can.' They told me it worked like a charm." "No wonder!" Bord laughed. "I wish I wore a man," she went on. "I'd like to engage in a business of this sort, something that would require ingenuity and daring. I'd like to handle big affairs." "There is your copper mine. You surely handled that very cleverly." Choryra's expression altered, and she shot a quick glance at him as he went on. "How is it coming along, by the way? I haven't heard you mention it later." "Very well, I believe. The man were down the other day and told me it was a big thing." "I'm delighted. How does it seem to be rich?" "I-I hardly know. Rich! That has always been my dream, and yet—" "wonderful feature about dreams," he took advantage of her pause to say, "is that they come true." "Not all of them—not the real, wonderful dreams," she returned. "Oh, yes. My dream is coming true, and so is yours." "I have given up hoping for that," he said, without turning. "But you shouldn't give up. Remember, that all the great things ever accomplished were only dreams at first, and the greater the accomplishments the more impossible they seemed to begin with." Something in the girl's attitude, and in her silence, made him feel that his rings ring hollow and commonplace. When asked about an accomplishment, he been mounting in his brain, and it hold him now in a kind of delicious embarrassment. It was as if both had been suddenly enfolded in a new and mysterious understanding, without the need of speech. He did not tell himself that Cherry loved him, but he coused to a fresh perception of his beauty and his himself privileged in her warmness. If may have been the unusual ardor of his gaze that warned the cheeks HIM, brought her eyes back from the world outside. At any rate, she turned, flashing him "a startled glance that caused his pulse to leap snow. Being instantly the past past" him to the heart, he bent back and she surpise that look in his eyes. A gravitation a wave of corrosion surged over her. He strove to calm herself through her music, which shields while it gave expression to her mood, and neither spoke as to the evening shadowcitation in upon them. But the girl's exaltation was short lived; the thought came that Boyd's feeling was but transitory; he was not the sort to burn lasting license before more than one shrine. Nevertheless, at this moment he was hers, and in the joy of that certainty she and let the moments slip. They heard a child crying somewhere. In the rear of the house and Chakwana's voice soothing; then in a moment the Indian girl appeared in the doorway, saying something about going out with Constantine. Cherry acquiesced half consciously, impatient of the intrusion. Boyd finally rose and, going to the door, saw that the sky was deeply overcast, rendering the night as dark as in a far lower latitude. "I've overstayed my welcome," he ventured and smiled at her answering laugh. "I have a trace of solicitude she said: 'Walt! I'll get you a minicoat.' But he watched out a deining hand. In the darkness it encountered the bare flesh of her arm. "Please don't. You'd have to strike a light to find it, and I don't want a light now." "It has been on a pleasant evening," also said lazily. "I saw you for the first time tonight, Cherry. I think I have begun to know you." Again she felt her heart leap. Reaching out to say goodbye, his hand slipped down over her arm like a caress until her palm lay in his. With trembling, gentle hands she pushed him from her. When the black bulk of Marsh's canyon loomed ahead of Emerson he left the gravel beach and turned up among the buildings, seeking to retrace his former course. As he turned the corner of the first building he nearly ran against a man who was standing motionless against the wall. The building, enclosed into the gloom, Boyd lost no time in gaining the plank runway that led to the deck and, duding up angle in the building, backed into it and waited. From his momentary glimpse of the man as he made of he knew that he was tall and active—just the sort of pursuer to prove dangerous to an encounter. But if his suspicions were correct there must be others close by, and Boyd wondered why he had heard no signal. After a breathless wait of a moment or two he stole cautiously out, and, selecting the darkest shadows, slipped from one to another till he was caught by the sound of voices issuing from the yawning entrance of the main building on his right. The next moment his tension relaxed; one of the speakers was a woman. Evidently his alarm had been needed, and elsewhere, elsewhere, he made no effort to conceal their presence. On the contrary, the woman had raised her tone to a louder pitch, although her words were still undistinguishable. Greatly relieved, Boyd was about to go on, when a sharp cry, like a signal, came in the woman's voice, a cry which turned to a genuine wall of distress. The listener heard a man's voice cursing in answer, and then the sound of a scuffle, followed at length by a choking cry, that brought him bounding into the building. He ran forward, recklessly, but before he had covered half the distance he collided violently with a piece of machinery and went sprawling to the door. A glance upward revealed the dim outlines of a "topper," and showed him farther down, the building, allouetted briefly against the darkness of the windows, two arranging figures. As he regained his footing, something rushed him—man or animal he could not tell, but for its feet made no more sound upon the floor than those of a wolf dog. Then, as he holted forward, he heard a man cry out, and found himself in the midst of turmoil. His hands encounters a human body, and he seized it, only to be hurled aside as if with a giant's strength. Again he climbed with a man's form, and bore it to the floor, cursing at the darkness and reaching for its throne. His anguish raised his voice in wild chatter, Lord Dord braced himself for another assault from those hounds he had met a moment before. But it did not conn. Instead he heard a cry from the woman, an answer to a deeper voice and then swift, pattering footsteps growing fainter. Meanwhile the man with whom he was locked was fighting desperately, with hands and feet and teeth, shouting hoarsely. Other footsteps sounded now, this time approaching, then at the door a lantern flared. A watchman came running down between the lines of machinery, followed by other figures half revealed. Boyd had pinned his antagonist against the cold sides of a retort at last and with fingers clutched about his throat was beating his head violently against the iron when by the lauter's gleam he caught gmo glimpse of the fat, purple face in front of him and loosed his hold with a startled exclamation. Released from the grip that had nearly made an end of him, Willis Marsh staggered to his feet. The man was wounded, badly wounded, as he saw by the red stream which gushed down over his breast. Marsh leveled a trembling anger at Boyd and crieed hysterically: "There he is, mom. He tried to murder me. I--I'm hurt. I'll have him arrested." The seriousness of the accusation struck the young man on the instant. He turned upon the group. "I didn't do that. I heard a fight going on and ran in 'horr' —, "He's a liar," the wounded man interrupted shrilly. "He's stabbed me! Beef!" He tried to strip the shirt from his wounds, then fell to chattering and shaking. "O God, I'm hurt!" He staggered to a packing case and sank up it, weakly tumbling at his soot, den shoulder. "I didn't do that," repeated Boyd. "I don't know who stabbed him. I didn't." "Then who did?" some one demanded. "What are you doing in here? You'd a killed him in a minute," said the man with the lintern. "We'll fix you for this," a third voice threatened. "Listen," Boyd said in a tone to make them pause. "There has been a mistake here. I was passing the building when I heard a woman scream, and I rushed in to prevent Marsh from clocking her to death." "A woman" chorused the group. "That's what I said." "Where is she now?" "I don't know, I didn't see her at all. I grappled with the first person I ran into. She must have gone out as you came in." Boyd indicated the slide door, which was still ajar. "It's a lie," screened Marsh. "I're the truth," stoutly maintained Emerson, "and there was a man with her too. Who was she, Marsh? Who was the man?" "She-she-I don't know." "Don't lie." "The truth," reiterated the stricken man feebly. Then, seeing the bewilder- ment in the faces about him, he "THIS HE IS MEN. HE THIRD TO MURDER MK." burst out nawen "Don't stand there like a lot of fools. Why don't you get him!" "If I stabbed him I must have had a knife," Emerson said, again checking the forward movement "You may search me if you like. See?" He opened his coat and displayed his belt. "He's got a six shooter," some one said. "Yes, and I may use it," said Emerson quietly. "If he hasn't a knife then he must have had a friend with him." "Then tell your men what we were doing in here and how you came to be alone with us in the dark." Emerson stared at his accuser curiously, but the man's mangled coat in a loss "So how hard, if you will tell us whom you were choking me we can get at the truth of this affair." Without answering Marsh rose and, looming upon the watchman's arm, said: "Help me up to the house. I'm hurt. Send the launch to the upper plant for John. He knows something about medicine." With no further word he made his way out of the building, followed by the mystified daherman. No one undertook to detain Emerson, and he went his way, wondering what lay back of the night's adventures. He was so as to the identity of the woman and the reason of her presence alone with Marsh in such a place. [TO BE CONTINUED.] "Hush!" said bad Mr. Bear. "Here comes old Ding Dong with his two prizepigs." "When I say ready," exclaimed Old Fox, "we will both spring out, shoot old Ding Dong and carry off his prizepigs." "Your pligs or your life!" shouted the bold bad pair as they rushed out upon poor old Ding Dong, who was so surprised for the minute that he let go the prizies. With the result that they toppled over bad old Bear and Fox. "Now, then," said Ding Dong, when he had tied their hands together, "off to the police station with you." A Puzzle Picture.

Grandfather Harris had harnessed the big brown horse and was ready to start for the mill, with a load of wheat to be ground into flour when Mary and Constance came running out into the yard. "Grandma says we may go!" exclaimed Mary, and Constance repeated, "Says we may go," as also reached grandga's side. "Well, well! Then you must sit wray up here on this high seat," said grandpa, lifting the two little girls to the broad, comfortable sent on the front of the warrior. "I've got on my new straw hat," said eight-year-old Constance as the big horse moved steadily down the smooth road. "That's right!" said grandpa. "Till it was made of wheat straw, too." he continued, looking adamantly at the pretty hat with his big blue ribbon bow. Constance and Mary looked at him with so much curiosity that grandpa "WE KNOW ALL ABOUT WHEAT." naked. "Didn't you know what straw hats were made of?" "I guess we didn't," replied Mary, "Do you know what wheat is?" asked grandpa. This made both the little girls laugh, for their grandfather had many fields of wheat, and they and seen it grow from tender green shoots to tail, waving stalks, with its yellow heads full of the kernel germs which grandpa was now taking to the mill. "What it?" asked grandpa. "It's something to make flour of," said Mary. "That's right," and Grandpa Harris nodded approvingly. "When you study botany your teacher will tell you that wheat is a grass, and when you study history you will find out that people have always eaten wheat and that it once grow wild in many parts of the world." "I like wheat before it is ground," said Mary. "So I do," said Constance. "People used to take the wheat, just as it is in those big bags, and put it to soak in water and then let it harden into little cakes in the sun," said grandpa, "but that was before we discovered America." The big horses began to trot along at a good pace, and very soon they were driving down a broad street, with stores on each side, which led to the mill. "You leave you at the bakery a few minutes," said grandpa, and he lifted the little girls down from the high seat and asked the pleasant faced woman behind the counter to look after them until he came back. "See all those cakes!" Mary whispered to Constance. "And all those big leaves of bread!" Constance whispered back. "That bread is made of pure wheat flour," said the pleasant faced woman. Sour!" said the pleasant faced woman. "Yes'm." said Mary politely. "We know all about wheat. It used to grow wild." "Did it!" said the woman. "Well, well! And what else do you know about it?" "My hat is made of wheat 'straw'," said Constance. "I declare," said the woman. "And what else can you tell me?" "I don't know." said the woman. "It's a gras." said Mary. "Now I must tell you a little verse about wheat," said the woman, "and perhaps you can remember it, and tell it to your grandfather" "Keem," said both the little girla. "Now listen; I will say it slowly," and their new friend repented the verse: A firm little kernel that all people eat is called by the old English word known The French call it bie, which means it is white. And in Spain it is frux fruit, and each one is right. When Grandpa Harris came driving up after his passengers he was greatly surprised to hear them exclaim, "We know a verse about wheat!" And as soon as they and they down the little river and Constance reported the lines. "You have certainly learned what wheat is," said grandpa, "and I think the next time we come to mill we must stop and see the bakeshop woman again." "Perhaps she will teach us another verse," said Constance. "Perhaps she will tell us what sugar is," said Mary, "for most of her cakes had sugar frosting." - Youth's Companion. Never despair.

SIMPLICITY PREVAILS Newest Models For Fall Wear Show Extreme Plainness. Thought Must, However, Be Given to Attire In Order to Attain the Neccessary Elegance. That "there is nothing now under the sun" applies more to the fashions in dress today than to anything in the world, and equally true is the old saying that if a gown is kept for seven years it will again be in style. But it will be a brave and patient woman who will wait the seven years and then wear the same gown without some marked alteration thereto. The general outline and design of the newest models for the winter street costumes are not like those of so long ago as seven years, but they have many points in common with those of three or four seasons past. The favorite shirt waist model at the moment—the advance style as it 1 is declared to be-is apparently simple, but it is a studied simplicity not easily attained. Fashion commands that every woman shall look slender and young even when she has attained the half century in years and the customary increase in weight. The perfectly plain straight up and down skirt, oxygaterately tight around the ankles, is simply impossible for any but the most slender and youthful figures and even then is not attractive, hence the change that is to be noticed. This new skirt has quite a deep yoke, fitting to perfection, and a straight front breadth for the applique and the yoke. Below the yoke it is the sides. Are no less than two seams at other side. These can be in shallow plains if desired, and if the material is not too heavy there is a seam down the back breadth, but there are no plains in the back. This gives slender lines and, besides, is economical, as it does not require much material. Bottle of all, it is wide enough around the ankles to permit of taking a long step. Another good skirt model that is extremely becoming, but which also requires careful fitting, has a seam down the center of the front breadth, no scans of the slides and a double box plait at the back, fastened as far down on the skirt as is becoming to the inside of the back, also fastened for idealization of a fashion of some three or four years ago. There is an unusual variety for the junior costumes. Some are extremely plain, without any trimming whatever, while others are trimmed with brushing or blas folds of satin or velvet. Another favorite, not strikingly novel, but becoming, is made like the volle gown, with the broad band of satin around the bottom of the skirt. This is wide as the material, giving the effect of the clothing gathered where it is joined to the satin. Tailored street costumes this autumn and winter will be just as popular as ever, and as the short skirt is now universally accepted as smart there will certainly be many more of the coat and skirt costumes than when fashion declares in favor of long skirts and makes possible the wearing of elaborate one piece gowns under long and elaborate coats and cloaks.

Times are hard to some people because some people are always seeking hard times --- Some of these folks would be yelling poverty at $200 per month just as much as they are now yelling hard times at $25.00 per month . The masses of people look for the pleasure in this world with little thought of the pleasures promised in the world to come. The progress of the colored people throughout the country indicates that they will soon be recognized as one of the most important factors in the future prosperity of this country. Females who are looking for husbands who have plenty of money to spend on them instead of looking for men to help these men save what they have already saved will usually be disappointed. --- Col. Roosvelt must have been born in a storm. He knows how to keep up a sensation, whether he is in Africa, Europe or in the United States. And get the American people like this kind of man. Just like the French favored ▶ Roulanger. This spectacular display will run its course however and the American people will look for another phishing It is now announced that Dr. Booker T Washington has been accorded recognition by the King of Denmark at Coponhagen. This is gratifying information and it shows that the king has profited from his experience with Dr Cook, the Arctic Explorer. He has with him the greatest Nigro in the world today and any honor shown hini should be appreciated by the American people. It is getting so now that it is necessary to support men rather than parties. The Negro-factors are joining the Republican Party and, de- manding that colored men be ostracised and ignored and the friends be justice and equality before the law are joining the Democratic Party and Demanding that they be accorded all of their rights under the law. This brings us to the question of candidates. Are they for the colored folks or are they against them? Have they an antipathy to colored men or are they ready to accord to them full recognition? The answers to those questions should determine the way a colored citizen should vote. THE TWO LEADERS. We are of the opinion that neither President Taft nor Col. Roosevelt is in favor of the Negro's political rights but that both are in favor of improving his military and industrial conditions. They favor the colored people, just as they would favor Indians or the uncivilized tribes of Africa. This feeling is born of pity and is not creature of admiration and innate respect. For this reason they look at the "new Negro" through colored names. They do not see him as they look upon a naturalized Italian German, Spaniard, Russian or even Mexican. They accept the stories told by the Negro-haters at their full valu and they are not disposed to accord full political recognition to the colored man of the Lyons, Vernon, Dancy, Cohen type. When they do accord such recognition, it is under pressure and they feel embarrassed and in a measure ashamed when they are attacked by rampant Negro Southerners, who claim to represent their constituents with reference to all matters affecting the Negroes. It is then that these two leaders proceed to pander to this sentiment and to administer a "back handedlick" to the race that it has just recognized. Political expediency rules and political sentiment causes them to surrender right principles to the demands of party associates. If we have done these two statesmen an injustice we regret it but God knows we believe every word we have written in the premises COL, ROOSEYELT AND THE PLAT FORM. We have been under the Impression all along that Col Theodore Roosevelt did not win the great victory in New York State as was accredited to him in many quarters. Our reasons for this were due to the unqualified endorsement of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill, a measure which has been violently assailed by the Insurgents and Col Roosevelt from one section of the country to the other. While he alleged that he whipped the "Old Guard" to a frazzle it seems that there is now a modification of this allegation. The following dispatch explains it self "Atlanta, Ga., October 9, - Theodore Roosevelt last night disclaimed responsibility for the tariff plank in the New York Republican State platform. In doing so he replied to criticisms which have been directed against him, particularly by insurgents of the West, to the effect that he talked one kind of politics in the West and another kind in the East. This criticism was based largely on the fact that while he did not indorse the Payne Tariff Law in any of his Western speeches, the tariff plank of the New York Republican platform commended the bill. "Colonel Roosevelt sought to make it clear that he had not indorsed the Payne law, and that he did not agree with' the New York tariff plank. "In speaking to you of the new nationalism, he said 'I want at the outset to answer publicly a question put to me this evening by a couple of your journalists as to one feature of what I had spoken of as the new nationalism concerning which they thought I had spoken differently at different times'. "This gentlemen asked me how I recalled what I had said in the West with the tariff jank in the New York Republican State platform I answered that I did not reconcile it. that on that particular point I must refuse to be judged by that platform, but by what I myself said '' This then shows that in the matter of the platform, he was not only out witted but beaten. If he is not bound by the platform in the matter of the tariff then the "Old Guard" is not bound by the platform in the matter of direct nominations Ex President Roosevelt has peculiar notions with regard to moral obligations when these obligations run counter to his ideals. Still, the entire subject is one for New York Republicans to discuss and in the lance of a disinterested spectator, we can fold our hands and remark, "It's none of our funeral." THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Colored men should feel encouraged over the outlook. Every turn of the wheel brings hope to them. President Roosevelt who "booted" the colored soldiers out of the regular army before he went to Africa tried to get them back into his political army when he returned from Africa. President Taft, who has studiously ignored the colored brother as a po littical quantity and who has removed one after another of them from governmental offices, now has restrained himself by "cutting off" one Negro's political head and by putting in another Negro whose political head had not been "cut off." It shows that the agitation as fathered by Hon. H. C. Smith of the Cleveland, O. Gasette on one hand and Mr. W. Monroe Trotter of the Boston, Muss. Guardfan on the other is having its effect, while the threatening attitude of the Negro political organizations led by Bishop Alexander Walters' Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. S. L. Corrothers, Prof. W. E. B. DuBois are-just clearing the way for our political progress and emphasizing the attitude the journalists referred to have taken. This is no time now for half-way measures in dealing with this political condition. Politicians or statemen holding the views on the race question as enunciated and practiced not by the Republican Party, but by President Taft and Col Roosevelt should be fought all along the line and to the finish until some relief is afforded. To do less than this is to admit our racial inferiority as a political factor. Colored men should stand up and be counted, not as Afro-Americans or as Negroes but as plain American citizens. We are not responsible for race prejudice or for the doctrine of caste and we should oppose it and yield to it only under pressure, assuming our same position as soon as the pressure is removed. Educated colored men will please take notice and illiterate but thinking colored citizens of the same type should improve their condition and act in the same way. We have lost many of our rights and privileges by supine submission and those lost can only be regained by the most strenuous efforts on the part of those who have been the victims of these insidious political movements. It is unfortunate that concerted action has not been agreed upon before, but it is not too late to remedy the evil and to make "in long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together," to regain all that we have lost. This movement should be launched with wisdom and discretion and in a way to make friends and not to lose them. A battle fought in the proper way will accomplish results satisfactory and win the admiration of those who oppose us. Rockefeller Gives $3,820,000 Away. At the opening of the new hospital attached to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York the announcement was made that John D. Rockefeller had given securities having a par value of $3,820,000 to be added to the endowment of the institute. This makes the total endowment of the institute in properties and moneys $8,240,000, with an actual income bearing endowment of $420,000. The opening of the hospital was an invitation affair and many prominent society folk attended beside medical men and professors. The new hospital is for the study by experts of particular diseases. There are accommodations for seventy patients who will be treated free from all charge by the new medical known to science. No experiments will be made upon any of the patients. For the accommodation of these seventy patients there is an eleventh modern structure fitted out with the last neatly of modern hospital comfort. The board of trustees is initially constituted as follows John D Rockefeller, Jr. Frederick T Gates, William H Welch Starr J Murphy and Simod Flexer Used Boy to Stop Bullets. "You are a dirty dog" The best thing that can happen to you is to get justice, and get it quick." In these words Coroner Feinberg, of New York city, expressed his abhorrence for Adolph Berg, who was arrested before him as the man who used Charles Fischer, a twelve-year-old boy, as a shield against the bullets fired at him by Harry Greenwald, an ex prize fighter. The boy was killed and Greenwald committed suicide. Berg was held without bail to answer to a charge of homicide. He was arrested and, according to the police, at first admitted that he was the man wanted. Before the consumer he declined to make any statement, however, and later he denied having figured in the killing of the Fischer boy 30.000 March In Profanity Protest 30,000 March in Profanity Protest. Under the banners of the Ily Nama society and to the music of a thousand male voices without a band, 30,000 men marched over a long route through Pittsburgh's streets as a demonstration of the society a campaign against blasphemy.

W A Hurtz, the slayer of Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight champion pugilist, has been captured near Ninangus. Mo. savouten miles from the scene of the shooting. Ketchel was shot while eating breakfast and died after being removed to a hospital in Springfield. With the arrest of Mrs. Goldie Smith, who posed as the wife of the pugilist's slayer, the police have discovered another mo. we. for the crime. Mrs Smith has signed a statement to the effort that Ketchel insulted her on the morning; of the day the shooting took place, and that news of the conversation that offended her so infamed Hurtz that he was greatly wronged up. The police are inclined to bolieve Mrs Smith's stol. Following is the statement signed by Mrs. Smith; "While I was working in the house Ketchel insulted me. I became angry, He was greatly wrought up over the incident and pleaded with, me not to say anything to Hurtz. He said he would give me the best team of horses on the farm if I would keep quiet. I made him no promise. "When Hurtz came home I told him what Ketchel had said to me. He was very angry. I think that is what caused him to kill Ketchel."

JULIA WARD HOWE Famous Author Who Died at Her Bummer Home A JULIA WARDHOWE FAMED POET,DEAD HER DEATH Was Due to Old Age, Which, With a Cold, Weakened, Her Heart—Wrote For Fifty Years. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, poet and patriot, and the writer of the famous "Battle Hymn of the Republic," passed peacefully away at her summer home, "Our Glen." In Middletown, R. L. Mrs. Howo had been ill since Wednesday last, when she had a severe chill Death was due to old age, which, with a cold, weakened her heart. She was in her ninety second year. On Sunday Mrs. Howe appeared to be recovering from her cold, but continued to remain in bed Monday her condition changed suddenly for the worse and she lapsed into unconsciousness, which ended in death. At her bodside were her three daughters, Mrs. Florence Howe Hall, Mrs. Laura Elizabeth Richards and Mrs John Elliot with her husband. Julia Ward Howe, the Grand Old Woman of American Literature, will always be remembered as the author of the famous 'Battle Hymn of the Republic." Mrs Howe was the daughter of Samuel Ward, a prominent New York banker, and was born in New York city on May 27, 1819. Her mother was a descendant of the distinguished General Marlon of Revolutionary fame, and was a highly cultivated woman, who inculcated in her daughter the love of poetry at an early age. Mrs. Howe soon became proficient in several ancient and modern languages and in music. When twenty-four she was married to Dr Samuel S. Howe of Boston An extended tour abroad followed, during which they visited England, Ireland, the Italian lakes, Rome, Florence and Paris. About this time Mrs. Howe commenced to write poetry, and a few years after her return, in 1842, brought out "Passion Flowers," her first book Her literary work once started, continued for over half a century, during which she produced a great many poems and a number of magazine articles. She also wrote an excellent biography of Margaret Fuller, published in 1883 "Modern Society" was a scathing analysis of some of the ideals and practices which are more or less prevalent in this country "From the Oak to the Olive" was a book of European travel, and a companion volume was "A Trip to Cuba." Her books of poetry included "Words for the Hour" (1856), "Later Lyrics" (1865) and "From Sunset Rhotigo" (1868). A book of her "Reminiscences" appeared in 1899 and proved very interesting reading, as she met a number of distinguished people in her long career. But her popular fame peaks on the famous "Stattle Hymn of the Republic," the song of the Civil War. It is sung to the tune of "John Brown," and commences, "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." Mrs. Howe wrote it only one morning. The night before she had been out riding in the country near Washington and her party had narrowly escaped being captured by a troop of Confederates. As they came into Washington they sang "John Brown's Body," and the tune kept ringing in Mrs. Howe's head all night. When she awoke before daylight she began to make verses to it. It was first published at Charlestown, Mass. Captain James Grocounl, an organist of the Harvard church, set the notes for the music, and a Massachusetts regiment made them first noted by singing them at Fort Warron in 1861. --- Dolliver's Death Hits Inaugurates.

CLOSE TO THE WATER Alrship Was Blown Far Out of its Course, Found in Distress and Crew Rescued With Difficulty. Walter, Wellman and his five companions, who last Saturday morning sailed from Atlantic City in the dirigible balloon America in an attempt to fly over the ocean to Europe along the northern steamship route, were picked up at sas Tuesday morning by the Royal Mail Packet company's steamship Tront, Captain C. E. Down, bound for New York via the Bermudas, at a point about 375 miles east of Norfolk, Va., and about 250 miles northwest of Bermuda. The America, after a record flight for dirigibles of about seventy hours, was sighted close to the water in distress and was abandoned by Wellman and his crew, all of whom sought safety aboard the Tront with the help of the dirigible's lifeboat. 'The message announcing the rescue of the aeronauts reached the United Wireless station and was addressed to Sanderson & Son and signed by Captain Down, of the Trent. The message said: Message Reporting Rescue. "At 5 a. m. Tuesday sighted Wellman's airship America in distress. Signed by Morso code that she required assistance and help. After three hours of maneuvering and fresh winds blowing, got Wellman with his onitie crew and cat. Were hauled safely on board. All are well. The America was abandoned in latitude 35 43 north, longitude 68.18 west. D. DOWN, Master." Shortly after this message arrived one was received by the Marconi company in New York, which was addressed to the Marconi people and signed by Jack Irwin, the wireless operator, who sailed with Wellman on the dirigible. This second message, which shows that Irwin was as anxious about his wireless apparatus as the rest had been about the cat, road "Rescued by Tront. All well. Instruments saved. Arrange to meet ship and take instruments over Wireless played important part in rescue." The Trent began to come into the wireless zone of New York as the afternoon progressed, thereby permitting the local wireless operators to learn a more detailed story of the rescue. Soon New York had learned by wireless messages sent here by Operator Ginsburg, of the Trent, the time and manner of the rescue, which was as follows: The Alrship Sighted. "The airship America was sigited at 430 a.m. and wireless communication between the Trent and the airship was begun immediately. In abandoning their craft the crow of the America lowed themselves into their lifeboat, which swung beneath the gas bag. Wellman and his companions then cast off in the lifeboat and wore afloat on the waves. Daylight was rapidly approaching when the airship and the solater came in sight of each other. By wireless the America asked the steamship to follow in the wake of the airship. The America was then drifting above the waves at a speed of twelve miles an hour The Trent hove to upon sighting the airship and spent three hours in maneuvering and picking up Wellman, Vanlman and their assistants. "A conferenco was held between Wellman and his companions aboard the America as to the best means of getting from the framework of the airship to the deck of the Trent. The boat means, it was decided, would be to launch the America's lifeboat, Much danger attended the launch, and a great deal of time was consumed owing to the possibility of the lifeboat being upset any moment by the long equilibrator of the balloon—a string of small tanks of gasoline hanging in links from the America. Airship Lifeboat Launched. "After careful preparations the lifeboat was lowered and launched. While the launching was under way, however, the brisk wind caused the equilibrator to agave violently and to strike Operator Jack Irwin and Louis Toud, one of the assistant engineers, as they were lowering themselves. They were not seriously injured. The equilibrator at one time swung against the frall lifeboat of cannases and manganese veneer violently enough to knock a hole in the side of the lifeboat. The hole was too small to cause serious trouble. "Upon being free of the weight of the crew the alphabio immediately shot skyward at the lifeboat was taking the water. The sea that was running at the time was moderate, and the aeronauts had very little difficulty in reaching the Tront and boarding the steamship. At 7:30 am, three hours after the steamship had sighted the America and within a few minutes of seventy-one and a half hours from the time the alphabio had left the Alghilat." City, beach, wolman, his companions and the lifeboat were hauled aboard the Trent. The balloon, now a speck in the sky, was left to the winds, to founder in the Atlantic when her gas was used. WALTER WELLMAN. Commander of the Balloon America Rescued at Sea. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a bow tie]. "None of the aeronauts was found to have suffered seriously from his adventures." Although Wellman had been blown far from his course by the winds that began to come out of the northwest Sunday night, thereby making his announced plans futtle, the flight establishes a world's record for dirigibles. A previous record for dirigibles was held by Count Zeppelin, who last year new from Dusseldorf to Bitterfeld and return, a total distance of 840 mills, in thirty-eight hours. The record for time and distance of a non-dirigible balloon was made in a flight about eight years ago from England to the center of Russia, a distance of 1112 miles, in seventy-two hours, which only an shade over the America's flight so far as time is concerned. WETTER PAYS BACK $14,000 AND COSTS Makes Restitution and Case is Closed. Charles G. Wetter, of Philadelphia, business manager of Payne & Co., builders of the state capitol, was sentenced at Harrisburg, Pa., to pay $14,000 in restitution to the state and to pay costs of $158.40. Mr. Wetter last week pleaded nolo contendere when leave was given by the court to the attorneys to agree upon an amount in restitution for overcharges in the bills for altering the capitol attic. The lawyer came into Judge Kunkel's court with an agreement to pay $14,000. John C. Bell, of Wetter's counsel, presented a long statement to the court, setting forth the side of the contractor, scoring Architect Joseph M. Huston and agreeing to pay the $14,000. Deputy Attorney General J. E. B. Cunningham made an answer for the state, accepting the amount. Judge Kunkel then pronounced sentence, and Weter at once handed-to Deputy Prothonotary W.1 Clark a certified check for $14,000 and one for $18,400 the amount of the costs. Mr. Bell then moved for the discharge of the defendant, which was granted by the judge without mo eado. The defendant walked out of court shortly after, and all cases against him resulting from the capitol scandal had ended COL .MOSBY TO LECTURE Noted Confederate Cavalry Leader to TILL His War Experiences Tell His War Experiences.

A few days ago two milk cows were taken ill, and in administering medicine Carter's hand was lacerated upon a tooth of one of the cows. Both animals developed unmistakable symptoms of rabies and wont hawking and snarling about the pasture until killed to put them out of their宫ry. Injured Football Player Dles. Claude H.

Daughter of Rich Philadelphian Employed Detectives to Find Her Affinity. Deposing two other soulmates while a magazine of her own financing is running sorrally her astral being's immost story, "My Search for a Mascullese Counterpart and Ideal Companion Through the Supernatural," Miss Antipinetto Reading Gazazm, the $3,000,000 hoirs of Cornwall, N. Y., daughter of former State Senator Joseph M. Gazazm, of Philadelphia, was married to her sure-enough, certain, positive, undoubted, honest-to-goodness affinity Charles B. Galvin, an engineer on the New York aqueduct, of no preponderant wealth. The ceremony was performed in the rectory of St. Thomas Roman Catholic church at Cornwall by Rev. Father Broslin. Miss Gazzam said frankly that she is a free thinker, but as she is certain Galvin is her overinventing affinity she was willing to be married in the religion of which he is a communicant. Her first remembered affinity was found when she was going over a book of photographs with her cousin. There she saw the picture of a young Indian. Her cousin didn't like her notion. However, she says in her autobiography: "But the picture which I had viewed for only a few seconds of the superb young Indian tastefully and becoming dressed in our own modern attire, made a permanent impression on my mind. And this was the beginning of my romance." Early this year Miss Gazzam, as she then was, settled for $25,000 a suit brought against her for $150,000 by Mrs. Marshall Clark, for the alienation of Clark's affections. He was known to the public as Niblo, a palistro. To Miss Gazzam he was known as a mystic, a creature of soul, and for a time she thought his heartstrings beat in perfect tune with her own. It is not on record that she ever saw anything more than the photograph of the Indian affinity, but in March of this year she was in keen pursuit of an affinity she had seen on a train when traveling from Philadelphia to Cornwall. A month afterward, however, her mind reverted to the young man and she sat Pinkortons hunting for this affliction, armed with a description that declared him to be about thirty-two years old (Miss Gazam is twenty-six); eyes, dark blue, vory large, clear and slightly prominent, height, about six feet, attributable, good chest development hair, dark brown and straight or slightly wavy parted on left side and reaching far back, revealing high to cheek. Miss Gazam would not say that Galvin was this man, yet his appearance fits the description accurately, save that his hair is not slightly wavy. It is luxurant and is worn with a certain negligent roll back from the forehead that would win the admiration of a marcel hairdresser. But in any event, since Galvin peaked fast summer, poor Mr' Lo and the palmist had to go forever into the dim limbo of the past. BLACK HAND MENSENTENCED Five Italians Given Long Terms in Jail. The five Italians of Hazleton, Pa., who were convicted of Black Hand crimes were sentenced by Judge Garman at Wilkes-Barre Pa.

When all was completed, she supported a cab and took her patient to the hospital. "Who bandaged this lab so credibly?" inquired the surgeon. "I did," she blushingly replied. "Well, it is most beautifully done!" said the surgeon, "but you have, I need one little mistake." She felt terribly self-conscious. "You have bandaged the wrong leg," he said quietly.

The Various Colors and Weaves Lend Themselves For Adoption to Street, House and Busi- The latest advises from the various centers of fashion in london that sleeve and chevron are the materials that told fair to occupy first place in the long list of autumn fabrics. They are wide, cutting to advantage, and the variety of colors and weaves is worthy of favorable consideration. In Paris these dresses that are built on shirt wrist suit lines will be worn until November without a coat with perhaps black satin scarfs to protect the chest and throats of the wearers. Bosshes the street duly, these dresses are attractive in the house place of business. What more can woman wish? There is a vogue for striped materials. These are ```markdown ``` frequently combined with bands. Buttons, soutache and black phingles are generally used as trimming. The illustration shows a clever combination of black serge stitched with bright blue and plain blue serge. It shows the best lines of the coming fall styles and gives excellent opportunity to use two remnants of comparatively short length. You will notice the extended yoke with the bodice and sleeves in one piece. A modified chemisette of all over face gives freshness at the neck. Underleaves are of the same. This yoke is stitched on its upper and lower edges with a double row of silk. The deep hem of blue comes above the knees, an excellent depth for tall women. The dress is fitted with a plain stitched belt fastened under a blue enameled buckle. Elephant gray with a black plin stripe is also made very simply. Black ants in bands outline the square yoke and the three-quarter sleeves, while white ant buttons are used at the front and the shoulder line. A belt of satin is used and can be changed for leather ones if you wish. A broad band of serge with the stripes running horizontally is used to give the popular tunic line. Yet fine, tucked linen and lace form the gulpe. And now for it. What do you think of cerise serge? It is the latest thing in France, but our American slaters will in all probability soften down the tone with their sensible conservatism and select one of the old rose shades. Southeast braid of the same color can be placed in rows across the frock. An extended line of trimming. whether of lace, embroidery or brind, is one of the accepted notes, so do not forget it, please. A very shallow yoke of ceru lace with black satin binding makes a good effect. The sleeves also are treated to the touch of black against the lace undercuts. Black on the skirt, with two rows of bridal, is efficient on a brightly colored gown. A patent leather belt is worn with the dress. For one toed dress, of good lines the following may please. Over a yoke of ticked latex the upper line of a prune colored frock is modified in a double point that gives the favorite "bib" that is seen on many new models. Bands of the same cloth are used at the yoke and on cuffs and tunel. A panel effect is given at its front and back. Indeed, this skirt can be built on a gored skirt pattern, the strapless band at the lower part of the skirt being put on and glitched. protect your computer with software that is built into the environment compatible—built on the Linux blossom ideas, with fullness at the body for smaller features. A squareook is ok. lined with braid and stitching and buttons at one side can embellish to give the easiest and most effective way of ornamenting this suit. THE ART OF EMBROIDERING. Many Beginners Puzzled by Introclics of Various Bitches to Be Applied For Creation of Different Patterns. Beginners in embroidery are frequently puzzled about three stitches common in all varieties of work. These three are satin, Kensington and stem stitch. We will, therefore, not ourselves the task of unraveling the mysteries of these three forms of embroidery. Nothing is harder than to give a clear idea in writing of how to make an embroidery stitch, but you will understand if you attend carefully and follow directions slowly and exactly. First, the satin stitch. This is used to cover solid forms, such as hars, narrow leaves or the petals of conventionalized flowers. It does not admit of shading and cannot be used to gain color effects. It is best to use a hoop when working this stitch, as this keeps the work straight and even. Run the thread through the linen as for long and short stitch and bring the needle up at the line which makes the left hand edge of your drawn form. The stitches are laid closely and exactly parallel the entire length of the pattern. They may be straight of oblique, but not both, the direction must continue the same throughout. Carry the thread across then and put the needle dwn through the right hand side. Bring it up again close to the first stitch on the other side and continue in this manner until the form is completely covered. Leaves are often embroidered in two parts in satin stitch, one side shading to the right, the other to the left. The middle line where the stitches meet must be absolutely straight or the effect is spelled. Next the Kensington, the most useful of outfitting stitches. The hoops are not needed for this, the work being done in the hand. Begin at the point nearest you bringing the needle up exactly on the outline, and take a stitch a little in advance. Bring the needle up again as nearly as possible at the same point and continue as before. The upper stitch should be three times as long as the under, but both must be extremely short. Of course the length of the stitch depends largely upon the kind of work you are doing. Finally the stem stitch an outline stitch which gives an effect of greater width than does the Kensington. It consists of a closely set row of short stitches placed in a slimming direction within the outline. It may be worked without a frame. Bring the needle up from beneath just within the outline if on a leaf pattern, then at the stem insert the point of the needle a little above, on the outline, so that the stitch shunts inward, and bring it up again within the line, a little above the first stitch. Continue as before all around the outline, and you may be sure that the result will be offensive and beautiful. A DAINTY APRON. There could be no more dainty and attractive gift for the girl who loves pretty things than this little embroidered apron. It would be especially useful for "n shower gift" for the bride, to be, who would surely count it one of the treasures of her lavender scented linen chest To fashion this effective ruffle about one and one-third yards of finest lawn are required. This will make the apron and allow for the pocket and bib, which are both made in the shape of enormous flossions. Six yards of valenciennes lace will make the daisy frilling, which should be carefully whipped to the buttonholes edges of the apron. For the strings three yards of ribbon are required. This should match or harmonize with the color scheme of the design. The result when finished will be most satisfactory. Drying Lace Collars. After lace collars and jabots have begin washed stretch them out on a lappard, covered with a towel if necessary, and stick pins into the wood all along the edge of the lace, stretching well as you go until there is a close outline of pins. In a few hours the lace will be dry and as smooth as if freshly ironed, without any of the dangers of ironing lace. For lace handkerchiefs the windup is a good "ironing" board, or in winter the mirror. If you will have a pane of glass set in a wooden frame you can dry double the number you otherwise could Cure of Hiccoughs. Hiecoughs are distinctly mortifying to the victim. As they are signs of poor digestion and, may mean bad stomach trouble if of frequent occurrence, they should be treated medically. For temporary curces try gradually dissolving a small lump of sugar on the tongue. Slow simping of hot water is also good or gargling the throat with ice water. The best way to not an increase in salary is to work go hard the boss must get along without you—then only THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA No man feels that he has a right to be left. Many a girl's beauty is spoiled by an ugly frame of mind. Of two evils it isn't always necessary to choose either. The man with a hot temper doesn't always make a warm friend. The fellow who is full of hot air doesn't always manage to get up steam. One good swift kick will often accomplish more than a lot of kindness. Trouble is the most obliging thing in the world. It will never dodge the people who are looking for it. Some people can't even do their duty without patting themselves on the back. Perhaps our clouds have a silver lining, but it generally takes other people to see it. Lots of us never put off till tomorrow what we can have done for us today It's the things we don't get that we should sometimes be most thankful for Circumstances over which we have no control frequently take the form of wives. Many a fellow's lofty ideals extend no further than highballs. Some people are so tireless that they become positively tiresome The best man at a wedding is the fellow who isn't getting married To greet misfortune with a smile is decidedly a one-sided flirtation Lots of marriages merely demonstrate that misery loves company WEDDING DAY OMENS The bride who dreams of fairies the night before her marriage will be twice blessed If the bridegroom carries a miniature horseshoe in his pocket he will always have luck. Don't wear an opal. Some people declare that opals are lucky. History proves the contrary. The bride who finds a spider in her wedding dress may consider herself lucky. No bride; if she would have good luck, should shake her own wedding cake. To do so invites ill fortune. Should a bride, perchance, see a funeral while being driven to the railway station prior to departing upon her wedding tour, she should order the driver to turn back and start over again, or else she will surely meet with bad luck No bride or bridegroom should be given a telegram while on the way to church it is a sign of evil. To try on the wedding ring before the day of the marriage is considered very unlucky. And for the bridegroom to drop it while placing it on the bride's finger is also held to hotoken misfortune. To lose the ring—or oven to remove it from the finger—is another unlucky sign QUIET THOUGHTS A still tongue carries further The finger of scorn should be curved. Some bad neighbors are so from example Many suburbs are paved with good intertions Man is known by the company he works Also dirt is a good friend, but a bad master Some folks keep up their appearances, but let their fences go. Too much booze also makes the world go round It is better to get down to brass tacks than to sit on one. Three rhyming words that are very closely related. "Boys," "toys" and "notso."

Every day such a device as seen in this cut may be removed, pulled out, sanded and replaced without going into the hennery. A is the board proje- t. The droppings from the poultry on the farms of this country that an- nually are practically wasted would, if properly cared for, mean a saving in fertilizer bills of hundreds of thou- bands of dollars in the aggregate. Very few, however, make any ac- count of it. On the average farm, if Removable Dropping Board. the hens are fortunate enough to have their houses cleaned at all, the droppings are thrown into an old barrel left up to the weather the ammunition escapes hand that is filled with sticky sacks of very little amount in the spring. By arranging roost boards two feet from the floor, as the hens can scratch underneath, then placing roost johns six or eight inches above them, it has a very easy matter to save the droppings in good condition. A good sprinkling of hand roost should be thrown over the roost platform and if not convenient to hoe out the droppings once a week keep throwing on more plaster every two or three days. This will set ammonia, keep the henhouse sweet and keep the droppings dry and in good mechanical condition. When you remove the droppings put them in a dry place, and if too moist add more plaster and keep it submerged and you have a strong terfiber. RAISING GEESE PROFITABLE Must Be Carried Out in a Scientific Way! Especial: Care Being Given to the Young. Raising geseo is, in fact, just as well as any kind of poultry, raising. Allowing the geseo to raise themselves according to their nature, they will show that life obeys very silly things. For instance they will stand by their mother and drown in a rain-storm when the old geseo would gladly shelter them. Geseo always "do belt with a goose mother, but they must be kept out of the rain as water rattah to them. Not until they are about six weeks' old "can they attend mum of it. A geseo mother will keep her brood together, but when the geseing have no mother they will separate and sometimes stray a great way from home and be unable to and their war back. It is advisable to build a true OUR JOB DEPARTMENT. 311 North Fourth Street, Girl, house and confine the mother goose with her family at night and on rainy days. Later the goosels can be taught to go into the water while the mother goose stays in the house. In this way she can care for a large flock of youngsters. Use but one goose for raising your flock. Give her a bunch of newly hatched goosels when you get them and she will hall them with delight and give them a hearty well come and rear them. Goosels will grow well on grass alone, especially on clover, but will do much better if fed once a day with all the cracked corn they will eat. Overfed goosels are rarely seen. Yet goosels will fill their necks until they must crane to get it down, take a drink, then eat some more. Many people are realizing the profit in raising heavy goose; as they are worth more a pound than the tighter breeds, and every year there is more demand for the Toulouse. 8and For Duoka. Some people have, a notion that ducks and geese do not need grit, because they are not seen picking up large particles of stone. They do not need as large a size of grit as hens do, for they get sand when pudding in the bottom of the creek and streams where they forage for weeds and fish. Ducklings should be, provided with plenty of sand, which takes the place of grit. So thoroughly do some duck raisers bulleo in grit that they mix sand-in the food-that they give their young ducks. sheep suffer much in hot, weather which compelled to pasture in the hot sun all day. If there are no shadoe trees in the pasture, make temporary shadows, at different, points in the pasture, covering them with straw, weeds, brush or any rough material that will protect from the hot sun. Watch the Field. If you have a field that has required two kefes to keep a cow during the last season, then there is something wrong with it. It either has not sufficient fertility or it has not a sufficient stand of grass, one or the other. FEEDING PIGEONS PROPERLY. Twice a Day) Sufficient For All Bessons of Year—Feed Can Often Be Changed. Feeding pigeons twice a day is sufficient at all times of the year. We often read of the importance of early morning feeding, but this is purely in motion; 8 o'clock is a good time for the breakfast hour. The proper method of feeding is to have a board about twenty four inches long and eight inches wide, with strips malled around the four ones one inch high, in which is placed grit covering the bottom about half an inch deep, with good, sharp mixture. At the present time there are very many two combinations—on the market. Upon this grit can be spread Canada pean, wheat and canary seed in the morning and in the evening small, round corn, hulled ones and Canada pean. An much should be given as the birds will eat up clean. There are many, changes that can be made in the menu. Bread can be given a little lettuce, jersey, oatmeal, kaffir corn millet and hamp seed.

Heap is very heating and fattening and should be given sparingly, although pigeons are very fond of it. GOOD BREED OF FOWL. Sussex is Foremost of English Breeds. Resemble the Dorking in Build and Color. Among the table and all purpose breeds in Europe the Sussex have always occupied a strong position in England. In type and carriage they much resemble the Dorking, being long of body, blocky and much of the size of our Plymouth Rocks. In color scheme and head and leg points they differ strongly from the Dorkings. Speckled Sussex. their legs and feet being white, skin and flesh white and their eggshells lightly tinted. There are three varieties recognized by the English standard, namely, the red or brown, the light and the speckled—of the latter is shown herewith an illustration. Like the Dorking, the Sussex is recognized primarily in England for its plump carcass of white meat, which is preferred to the yellow carcass so much in evidence in our Plymouth Rocks and Wryndottes. Though not quite so large as the Dorking, they are small of bone and are rated as better layers. POUETRY NOTES The first requisite to a good batch is healthy, parent stock well mated. As soon as your hen quits laying sell them to the butcher. Generally towels that feather early are good egg producers, good alters and good mothers. Charcoal is a corrective and not a medicine. It absorbs gases and promotes digestion of the food. The thore the towels are distributed over the farm in summer the more productive they will be. If you feed mash in troughs, food it in clean troughs. Dirt has nothing to do with a balanced ration. Empty all the water receptacles at night so as to start with fresh water in the muddle. Clean out the nest boxes occasionally putting in a fresh supply of bedding. Thousands of bees are killed every We Arranged It For You.

You will notice that they take a slip of water after every two or three bites of food. Turkey hens with pullets do not thrive in closed board houses. Knock out the side boards and replace with wire netting. If you will number your hens with a log band and keep a little hook regarding each fowl you will find the work to be doubly interesting. When the laying and hatching seasons are over for ducks and keeps it is the proper season to pluck the crop of feathers and get them ready for market. When fowls are fed soft, foods at night it is digested early, and the fowls get hungry before morning. Feeding whole grain at night largely avoids this. Subscribe to The LANET.

In the suda and in the soap, Worked a woman full of hope. Working, singing, all alone. In a sort of undertone, "With the Savvour for a friend. He will keep you to the end." Sometimes happening along. I had heard the semisong. And I often used to smile. More in sympathy than gulie; But I never said a word In regard to what I heard. As she sang about her friend Who would keep her to the end Not in sorrow, nor in glee. Working all day long was she. As her children, three or four. Played around her on the floor; But in monotones the song She was humming all day long; "With the Savvour for a friend. He will keep me to the end." It's a song I do not sing. For I scarce believe a thing. Of the stories that are told Of the miracles of old; But I know that her belief Is the anodyna of grief. And will always be a friend That will keep her to the end. Just a trifle lonesome she. Just as poor as poor could be; But her spirits always rose. Like the bubbles in the clothes, And, though widowed and alone, Cheered her with the monotone, Of a Saviour and a friend Who would keep her to the end. I have seen her rub and scrub. On the washboard in the tub. While the baby sopped in suds, Rolled and tumbled in the duds, Or was paddling in the pools. With old scissors stuck in spools, She still humming of her friend Who would keep her to the end. Human hopes and human creeds Have their root in human needs; And I should not wish to strip From that washerwoman's lip Any song that she can sing. Any hope that song can bring: For the woman that laid Who will keep her to the end. —Eugene Wa. Edward 8. Brown. Easily the foremost Nogro in the state in point of character, capacity and attainments, and one of the most highly valued, was Edward S. Brown who died suddenly last night. For forty years he served with unsurpassed fidelity and efficiency in the state law library. His death will be heard of with genuine sorrow, and his loss will be keenly felt by the entire bench and bar of Virginia. In the bibliography of the law he was probably unequalled and certainly unsurpassed by any man—white or black—in the state. His creed to which he lived up with singular fidelity, was embodied in the motto found on the crest of the dead king of Bohemia, slain in the battle of Poctlers then assumed by the Black Prince, and since borne by the Princes of Wales—"I serve." He served God; he served the state he served the library, and how faithfully, zealously and effectively he served the lawyers who used the library, only those can know who for years have drawn on and profited by his wonderful knowledge of "authorities" and where to find them. He knew, as few trained and experienced lawyers know, whether on the bench or at the bar, where the law was to be found, and his extraordinary knowledge was modestly and unobtrusively at the service of those who wanted it. Always respectful, always efficient, always capable and always faithful, his death is a loss which to the library, the bench and the bar is well-nigh irreparable.—News-Leader, October 19, F1B10.

Highly Honored in California—Makes Many Species. Los Angeles. Col., Oct. 3—Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., arrived here yesterday afternoon at 3:20 in the Golden State Limited. A delegation of citizens were there to meet him and an automobile in waiting to convey him to the lecture room of the Colony Y. M. C. A., where a large crowd had gathered to listen to him. He was much surprised to know this and he was ushered directly to the platform amid loud and prolonged applause. Rev. J. L. McCoy, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Allisonworth of the United States. Army retired and the distinguished guest occupied seats on the platform. General Secretary Green conducted the exorcises. Lieutenant Colonel Allisonworth introduced Mr. Mitchell, paying a glowing tribute to the Virginian whom he had known for many years. Mr. Mitchell spoke for an hour and the audience was transfixed by his recital of his experiences, only interrupting at times with enthusiastic applause. He made a strong plea for racial co-operation and told in glowing language of the progress now being made by the colored people of the Southland. He declared that the race prejudice now being manifested over the country was the barometric indication of the progress of the colored people. He offered statistics to prove his assertion. His recital of the organization of the Meebanion's Savings Bank and its subsequent success was a revelation to the people of this community. He had taken beforehand photographs of the exterior and interior of this institution and they gave the source of anger, ending interest. 1,000 Wards of HALF-WOOL INGRAIN CARFET, that sells regularly Tor 60c.

He made a successful landing in Executive avenue, a narrow street where his narcissus had a space of only ten feet on either side between the fences of the White House offices and the state, war and navy building. Awaiting him on the navy department steps were the highest officers of both the army and the navy, who warmly congratulated the aviator. The admiral of the navy, George Daway, "horo of Manila," was one of the first to grasp his hand. Business in the big state, war and, navy building, was highly suspended during the hours of the foremost for the employees to witness the flight. Over the city the dying machine was first sighted. It passed over the buildings at a height of about 800 feet.

White, after luncheon with army and navy officers, ascended from the narrow street and sailed away towards the Washington monument and back to Bennings, a distance of more than three miles as the crow flies.
