PLANET VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 7. THE TR REFOR T Cases Postponed. Ready.--Brill of Coun ATTORNEY NEWSOME PRE THAT HE WILL APPEAR THE TRUE REFORMER TRIALS. Cases Postponed.--Defense Not Ready.--Brilliant Array of Counsel. ATTORNEY NEWSOME PRESENT—NOT DECIDED THAT HE WILL APPEAR—OTHER TROUBLES. Cashier Thomas H. Wyatt has been confined to his residence this week with a severe attack of more throat. He is under the treatment of Dr. R. E. Jones. He hopes to be out again in a few days. His wife has been ill for several weeks and is still in a belpless condition. Supplementing these afflictions came notice of the death of her father at Culpepper. The trial of the ex-officials of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers in connection with the failure of that institution was to have taken place, Friday, January 5, 1912. They were on hand, but were not ready for the reason that Speaker R. E. Byrd, who had been retained as counsel for some of them could not go on with the trials due to the fact that the legislature would be in session, the following week and he asked for a continuance to February 7, 1912. WILL TRY BURRELL FIRST. It had been arranged to try William P. Burrell first upon the charge of receiving money in the bank when it was known to be in default. It is understood that whatever is decided in his case will apply to the other debtors with similar amount. That is if he is found or imprisoned, the others are to accept the same punishment and if he is acquitted, a similar result will follow. Ex-Governor A. J. Montague and his brother, R Lynch Montague, Esq., are assisting the prosecution. THAT ARRAY OF COUNSEL Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr., represents all of the indicted officials with the exception of ex-Grend Worthy Master A. W. Holmes, who is represented by Speaker Byrd. W. P. Burdell is represented by H. M. Smith Jr., Esq., R. E. Byrd, Esq., and J. Thomas Hewitt; Esq. Commonwealth Attorney Minetree Fowkes has charge of the prosecution. Judge Ernest Wells presided during the absence of Judge Samuel B. Witt, who was seriously ill at his residence. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome was present and offered his services to the prosecution, but up to this writing, his offer has not been accepted or positively rejected. MR. FOWLKES' DIPLOMACY. The matter as to whether he shall appear, seems to have been diplomatically shifted by Commonwealth Attorney Fowlikes to the shoulders of the special counsel employed by Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin. This would seem, to mean that a solution of the matter rests with the Grand. Worthy Master and his attitude is now well-known. The indicated officials seem to be much plumbed with the outlook as shown by the squabbles between the Order's representatives. The public here has not lost interest, however, and the feeling in some quarters is still bitter. *ENCOURAGING REPORTS NOTED. The officials on Second Street continue to send out encouraging reports and they are paying as much as possible on death claims. Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin does not seem to be at all exhausted. Between striking his enemies with one hand and building up the work with the other, he is kept busy. Among his many troubles comes notice of an application for the appointment of a receiver for the Order in Baltimore. This has been done by the Baltimore creditors. Just what effect the granting of such an application in that city would have is not perfectly clear as such a receiver could not take charge of the Order here. MORE PROPERTY SOLD The True Reformers' Hall at Chase City, Va. was advertised to be sold January 9, 1912. The sale of these proportion in what is worrying the Grand Worthy Master and his counsel seems to be utterly unable to prevent it. This coordinated the hands of compulsive against the grand Counsel J. Thomas Howseman, his agents that he had done all that he could in the first and last years of his career by which he was able to prevent the sale. There is rather an amusing phase to General Counsel Newsome's resignation and it leaves open the question as to whether or not he is or is not General Counsel of the Order of the present time. AN INTERESTING LEGAL QUESTION. He was elected by the Grand Fountains. In reply to a demand made upon him that he come from Newport News, Va. to Richmond, Va., and remain in his office here which order he could not obey, as he would be required to give all of his time to the Order for $100.00 per month, he tendered his resignation, not to the Grand Fountain or to W. R. Grifin, Grand Worthy, Master, but to W. R. Grifin, Director and to all of the other members of the Board of Directors. While admitted as Director, W. R. Grifin accepted the resignation as Grand Worthy Master. As J. Thomas Newcombe, General Counsel did not resign or tender his resignation to W. R. Grifin, Grand Worthy Master, he is questioning Grand Worthy Master Grifin's legal right to accept a resignation which was tendered him as Director, and he claims that he has no power to accept the resignation as Director alleging that only the full Board of Directors can do this. THE POINTS AT ISSUE This raises the question as to whether General Counsel J. Thomas Newsome has really resigned and if he has resigned, in the manner indicated, who has the power to accept the resignation. It is further alleged that at the last meeting of the Grand Fountain, the Constitution and laws were put out of commission, so to speak and accordingly do not apply to the case. There can hardly be a question as to the right of Grand Worthy Master Griffin to accept the resignation even in absence of the law of the Order provided, the resignation was tendered to the Grand Fountain, as he is the official representative of the Grand Fountain, during its access. W. P. BURRELL BAILED Three Other Officers of True Reformers Must Appear at This Term. W. P. Burrell, one of the indicted officers of the Old Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers, appeared yesterday in the Hustings Court and renewed his bond for his appearance for trial on Feb. 7. He was bailed in the sum of $3,000, Mrs. M. B. Jones and A. A. Tennant, colored, acting as his safety. The three others indicted and who were previously bailed are J. C. Robertson, Edward Ellis, Jr., and W. L. Taylor. They may renew their bond between now and the end of the present term of court. Officials 'see, however no reason why they should postpone renewal of bond until the last day.—Times-Dispatch, Jan. 9, 1912. FROM DRAKE'S BRANCH, VA. Churches Poorly Attended—Shot His Wife. As severe a snowstorm as seen here for several years began Sunday morning in time to back out the cold Christians and the churches were poorly attended. After felling twenty-four hours the snow was reinforced by hail, rain, together with a cold West wind causing a two inch crust on the snow which greatly paralyzed traffic and business. M. A. Tucker has moved his grocery store on the southside of Main Street near the depot, and is doing a better business now than he did at the old stand. Mr. Tucker wishes to thank his customers through The PLANET for their patronage and to assure them that every courtesy will be shown them now as in the past. Mrs. George Pough and Mrs. Andrew Cary, of Charlotte Courthouse, are dead. While under the influence of whisky and trying to "kill Christina," Hunter Brogden shot and painfully wounded his wife Thursday. The ball (No. 38) took effect in Mrs. Brogden's forearm shattering the bone. While trying to find out whether he had come upon a gang of wild ducks or tame pigeons, Elijah Prophese got his head too close to the entrance of his gun and lost part of his scalp. He may recover. We understand that the public is invited to 8t. Michael Church Saturday where an attempt will be made to settle the difference between the deacons of that church and its pastor. It's a small matter, possibly a misunderstanding on the one side or on the other, and it is earnestly hoped that the atmosphere of discord may be dispelled and the matter satisfactorily adjusted. Polltman Given One Day in Jail and $50 Fire for Shooting Negro. A verdict of guilty, carrying with it a penalty of one day's imprisonment and $50 fine, was returned yesterday by the jury of the Henrico county Circuit Court against County Officer J. F. Pohlman charged with unlawfully shooting Percy Johnson, colored, on August 21, 1911. Johnson was shot in the back while fleeing from the officer, who had attempted to arrest him without a warrant. The jail sentence was merely a technicality, as Pohlman was released immediately after midnight, having been allowed to spend his short prison term in the company of his wife and friends. According to Johnson, he was walking down Brook Turnpike early on the morning of August 21st, when a man came running up behind him shouting for him to halt. Instead of stopping, the negro said he began to run, whereupon the pursuer drew a gun and began to fire. Johnson was struck in the back and painfully wounded but managed to reach home without being overtaken. He claimed total innocence of any wrongdoing, and insisted he did not know the puruer was a policeman. Officer Pohlman's account was different. He stated that he had started out to arrest Johnson for insulting a white woman of Barton Height, and white he had no warrant for Johnson's arrest, he believed he was acting in the line of duty in trying to prevent the escape of the negro. The shooting of Johnson brought to mind other examples of free gun play in Henrico, as when Officer Puryear shot and killed a white man during the St te Fair of 1910 in what was held by a jury to be an unlawful and unprovoked manner. Puryear was adjudged guilty, being fined $100 and deprived of his official employment. — Times-Dispatch, January 9, 1912. To Transfer License. The Richmond Athletic and Social Club has made application to transfer its license to dispense liquor to its members, from 210 N. Third Street, to the site of the old house condemned by Bulldog Inspector Beck at 725 N. Third Street, adjoining the Pythian Castle. Fine Banquet.—Vanderville Exercise a Feature.—Never Equalled in this City Before. No social event of the season has caused more amusement or given more satisfaction than the gondolie entertainment and banquet of Moca Temple, Improved Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorasan, Fr.day night, December 29, 1911, at the Pythian Castle. Royal Visiter John Mitchell, Jr. was an interested spectator. The stage had been skillfully arranged with a sliding curtain. Prof. John Hall, Jr., as a sleight-of-hand performer was a success. He changed water to wine and wine to water at will. BROUGHT OUT DOVES AND RABBITS. He called for a hat and proceeded to put water in it and to apparently injure it greatly. He dll the same thing with a haunchkerlet, but both were returned to the owners uninjured. When he brought out his pans and at the rising of a revolver brought forth doves, that flew about the concert hall of the Pythian Castle, the audience entered him. He brought forth rabbits in the same manner. He was very fine and the entertainment was well worth the price. He was assisted by Mr. David Rice, Clairvoyant, who gave a very fine exhibition of his skill by telling the color of objects while blind-folded. THE INIMITABLE BUNTER. They came Wilcox and Buster, the acrobats. They astonished the delighted audience with evidences of their acrobatic skill. They were enclosed. As for "Billie" Ward and Gussie Smith, they gave sideplitting evidences of their humorous tendencies. "Billie" Ward is a contortionist of the "first water." His act with reference to the William Tell act was most amusing. The girl offered him money to let her shoot the apple from his head. He agreed to do this, but found out that the apple was just a little too large for the experiment. HE ATE THE APPLE He took it from his head and began eating it in order to get it down to the right size and finally admitted with trembling limbs that he could not permit her to shoot the apple from his head. His song on naming the baby brought forth roars of laughter. Mr. L. R. "Jack" Whipper gave exhibition of his rare skill as a humorist and teller of stories, and kept the audience pleased from start to finish, punctuated at times with roars of laughter. The vaudeville artists were accompanied by Mesars. Curtis Jordan and Beasley, who furnished the music for them. Music for the dancers was furnished by an orchestra composed of Mesars. Smith, Brown and Freeman. The Municipal Band, K. of P., under the leadership of Prof. Moses Johnson furnished excellent music and at 12 o'clock the march to the dining hall below was bogged, where Caterer W. E., Brown furnished a fine repast. A FINE COMMITTEE The Committee of Arrangements, consisting of Sirs Charles McClalborne, M. J. Bartlett, W. J. Davies, Wesley Jones, Norman Wesley, W. R. Green and R. C. Mitchell, was roundly complimented upon the success of the affair. The Temple will arrange for another or grand banquet and vaudeville in March and already arrangements are under way to have it equal if not excel the one just given. PERSONAL AND BRIKER The death of Lawyer Charles K. Whittle removes one of the oldest and best known colored attorneys of the city. Mrs. Joanna Thompson of 666 N. Third Street died suddenly. She had been apparently well. Rev. J. Andrew Bowler has been through much trouble with his family. The illness of his daughters has been followed by the death of a son. Much sympathy is being expressed for him. Agents of the American Hold Big Meeting. Secretary B. H. Peyton, Remembered. On Christmas Eve, just before closing hour, the clerks of the American Beneficial Insurance Company assembled, and Mrs. Ida K. Mills on behalf of the office force presented their manager, Prof. B. H. Peyton with several tokens consisting of shirts, ties and silk hose. The manager in accepting the tokens made an eloquent speech and assured the clerks that he shall be actuated in the future by those same business principles that have characterized him heretofore. He then presented each one of the clerks with tokens of remembrance and wished them a Merry Christmas. Gone Before. The death of Miss Emily Mitchell one of the best known if not the best known and most doubt colored persons of the Catholic Church in Richmond removes a land mark. "Aunt Emily" as she was affectionately called by all who knew her. Her kindly disposition and upright life made her a character worthy of emulation. She was born in Baltimore and was eighty-eight years of age. She was the daughter of John and Priscilla Mitchell. She died January 16, 1912, of pneumonia at the Little Sisters of the Poor. Her funeral will take place Sunday, January 14, 1912 at 3 o'clock at St. Joseph's Church. Rev. Charles Hannigan will officiate. She leaves a host of friends, both white and colored to mourn their loss. WANTED—A Man and Wife to take charge of a New England Office. Reference required. Address The INDUSTRIAL UNION OF AMERICA, P. O. Box 206, Appleton Plains, N. O. Big Meeting of Stockholders. Mechanics Savings Bank's Fine Showing. Pres. Mitchell's Address. DIRECTORS ELECTED—FINE BANQUET. HARMONY REIGNED. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Mechanics' Savings Bank was held Tuesday night, January 2, 1912, at the Pythian Castle. Jackson was assisted by ver. 727 N. Third Street, President John in the persons of her husband, Mitchell, Jr., presided, assisted by Core G. Bright, Miss Eva C. Vico-President H. F. Jonathan. Sec.-Miss Irmia Davis, Mins Mary retary Thomas M. Crump called the Miss Irene McCray and Miss roll of stockholders and a majority answered to the roll call. There was a large attendance. The chief interest was centred in the annual address of the President, which reviewed in detail the year's work. He explained banking, and its relationship to the lender and the borrower. He reviewed the history of the savings banks in this country. DIRECTORS ELECT OFF The Directors of the Mechanics' Savings Bank met Friday, Jan. 1912 in the Directors' Room Mechanics' Savings Bank built 6:30 P. M. All of the directors present, and all qualified. STATE SUPERVISION. He explained how the establishment of the board of state bank examiners had minimised the dangers from wild-cat banking. He told also of the difficulties under which colored banks labored due to the lack of commercial business conducted by men of the race. This necessitated a resort to real estate deals in order to realize enough money in order to make banking among our people a success. He showed that the Mechanics' Savings Bank, through his efforts and the efforts of those associated with him had purchased property, which they had subsequently sold at an advance of $19,375.00. A FINE SHOWING The present deposits of the bank are $180,230.38 as rendered in the sworn statement to the State Corporation Commission under date of December 5, 1911. The cash balance at that time was $45,057.25. The assets of the Mechanies Savings Bank exceeded the deposits by $39,299.84. President Mitchell shuwed that the market value of the holdings of the bank was much greater than it appeared to be on the books of the corporation based upon a fair market value, the assets of the bank exceeded the deposits' by just $72,299.84. Under this rating the value of each share of Mechanies' Savings Bank would average $21.68. THE VALUE OF PROPERTY. The value of the property as carried upon the books of the Mechanics' Savings Bank is $144,003.74. The banking house, which has been paid for in full cost with the house adjoin ing $51,457.76. Mr. Mitchell's report was longly, but it was listened to with rapt attention. At its conclusion, he was the recipient of applause. Cashier Thomas H. Wyatt's reopt was fine and at times humorous. It gave much matter in detail. At the conclusion on the Municipal Band played several selections, Rev. J. A. Brown of Choster, Pa., was present, and also the well-known and popular Mr. C. C. Johnson of Atlantic City, New Jersey and the always welcome divine, Rev. W. F. Graham, who is now pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

The march to the dining hall below was taken up, where Mrs. Marla Jackson had arranged a magnificent repeat upon her own motion and with no definite instructions as to what the menu should be. The table was magnificently decorated with flowers, thought to be natural, but which afterwards proved to be artificial. A FINE REPAST. Every one was served with dipatch and the words of praise began with President Mitchell and spread to all of the guests. It was after one o'clock before the last word was spoken at the table. The mask had two harmonies and all sound plush placed with the information. meeting of stockholders. Savings Bank's Fine Pres. Mitchell's Address. SELECTED—FINE BANQUET. TONY REIGNED.

MAY ANNEX STRIP ON BROOK ROAD City Looking for More Room for its Colored Population. A meeting of a special committee of the City Council on providing suitable living conditions for colored citizens has been called for this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Councilman Vondelohr is chairman, and the members are Councilman Pollock and Blokhards and Aldermen Kain and Mitchell. The appointment of this committee was an outgrowth of the adoption last year of the Vondelohr segregation ordinance, which aimed to prevent colored and white families from occupying dwelling houses on the same block. That ordinance, which has now been in effect for many months, provides that no colored family may move into a house on any block the majority of the householders are white, and similarly that no white family may move into any block the majority of the householders of which are colored. Objection was raised in the debate on that ordinance that the section formerly known as Jackson Ward, mainly occupied by colored people, was much overcrowded, and that the practical effect of the segregation law would be to further overcrowd living conditions, the section of the city devoted to colored people unhealthy, and affording no outlet to the better class of colored people who could afford better homes. To meet this objection the special committee was named to take into consideration the advisability of annexing to the city a strip of territory, preferably surrounding the Virginia Union University, a colored institution on the Brook Turnpike; the construction through the same of streets and sewers, the laying of water and gas mains and otherwise providing for the creation of a new and more attractive colored to relieve congestion and prevent the continued establishment of the colored people on streets which, up to this time, have been occupied only by white residents. — Timothy Diguston, January 11, 1912. ee ee ae Ee TAM oR Set A ae 7 a 7 of te Thtmes, My wenee oft bl a, cecerveritin of Oo Wie X * tf OO OA aeeiar Ceiee S —_—— 7 . 5 4 st wedews throws —w Ss «| cuapyin xt. ‘abese” goat “ + Chatearad tb plese, of nee 6 ate I . ‘Gheens ‘tase, _ = oe, of ory ene the sheer.” = “ae oarreas. — , ; om. to the wate sue ~wareet ot tye? : p .

"You know a Japanese poem has only thirty-one syllables. You find them everywhere and on everything, from a screen to a fire above. I've seen them printed on toothpick. Your backer composes them as he brings the fish from market, and your ameth writes them at night by a firefly lantern." "Can you read it?" He translated: "I thought my loves long hair drooped down from the gate of the sky, but it was only the shadow of evening." "How delicately, pretty!" she exclaimed. "It's written in hana, the sound alphabet, isn't it?" "Yes. How much you have learned already." "Haru has begun teaching me. Let me show you my proficiency." She took his pencil and wrote: ドント "There! Who would guess that was Japanese for 'Daunt.' And what an imprisonment you must have made on Hara for her to select your name as my first lesson!" Across the soft shoo-shoo of epitomized tabl cled feet, the fitting of bright head himsos, the gray badges that flow about the low tables, Daunt felt her beauty thrill him from hand to foot like a mercurial mist and fire. As she dropped her hand to the cushion it had touched him, and for an instant their puces had seemed to throb into one. The tiny incursed cup she took up trembled in her fingers. She started when the young army officer nearest her said: "Speaking of calling, give me a steam yacht like the one that berthed yesterday at Yokohama. She belongs to a man named Wara. Austen Wara, a New Yorker, I understand. Perhaps you know him, Mike Fainatz." "I have not him," she answered. The young army officer looked up quickly. He was an enthusiastic yachtsman. "A beautiful vowel" he said. "I noticed her today, but she was too far away to make out her name." "It is the Barbara," said Voynich. "Why," exclaimed Patricia, "that's—She bit her tongue, caught by something in Barbara's face. "Good gracious!" she ended. "My—my foot's nose!" Barbara had felt her flush fading to paleness. She felt a quick relief that none there save Patricia and Daunt knew her first name. In the diversion caused by Patricia's helpless efforts to stand up she stole a glance at Daunt. A shadow had fallen on his face. He did not look at her, but in his brain the yacht's name was ringing like a knell. She knew Philis brother! Austen Ware's yacht had arrived in Yukon-hana on the same day as her ship. And it was named the Barbera. Yet tonight he had dreamed—what had he been dreaming? These thoughts minded themselves weirdly with the gayboy and someone that he forced himself to reader. Barbera felt this with an aching sense of resentment. What was he thinking of her? And why should she care so fiercely? The lightness and brittleness of the scene were somehow stillled. CHAPTER XIV LIKE THE WRIVER OF A BAR'S WING The street into which they trooped seemed an oriental open brothee-awaying, chatting people in leisure, light colored kilometers, some carrying created paper umbrellas that go the ends of abert rods, a thousand lights and have floating and waving. But for two of the party the color had lost their warmth and the movement its function. "I simply can't keep up yet in a ratrath," standard Patricia we, they danced their disoriented show. "Why and walk a little?" The proposal met with a chorus of approval. They cut out together, and presently Narhane found Inevident beside her. Her response did not cost her as she immediately called nervously, nervously awake by the noise surrounding her. the personal of an empire of violence if it only because he was a captain, ally butt, and with vexity and sympathy. What had there been between them, after all, gave a light subterranean hide with a man who an inscrutable and to send move. So he passed on, adding constant of the hides in his exposition, quite condescension that her own was growing more forced and erased. The key him, bided them, spoke his name. Dusset started with a cask of rosy liqueur and drew from his pocket a faded pink paper flattened with a hone seal. "Now stupid of me! My wife have gone woodgathering tonight. Here is a telephone for you. It came soon after we left the embassy, and Mrs. Dandridge, thinking it might be urgent, coat it after to the tea house. He missed us, but new me here on his way back." Burhara broke the seal and held the message to the candlelight that shone from a low temple entrance. She did not pathe at the moment that it was the temple of the Put-God whose alms she had that evening denied. She had questioned who was the sender, and the knowledge fell like a cool, painful hand on her head. And, also, on Dawat's also, for me she turned the leaf his gaze, wandering through the temple doorway to the candle marred mirror above the title box, bad sawjitlitya was reflected there in the painfully exact chirography of a Japanese telegraph clerk the signature On the other side of Tokyo that night Dr. Beroson sat with Phil in his great laboratory. Danger had been laid on a round table at one end of the room. This was now pushed into corner. They sat in deep leather chairs with milt liquor glasses of green creme de moins on a stand between them, with a methyl lamp and cigar. Phil had more than once refilled his glass from the straw braided long necked vessel at his elbow. He was restless and ill at ease. During the dinner, served at 10, conversation, had been desultory, full of impatience, broken only by the plaintive chap of the haw from its corner. When the cigars and cardinal had been brought by the silent footed Inshi, Bornhain had risen to draw the curtain closely over the window and to lock the door. When he came back he stood before the mantlepiece, his arm laid along it, looking down from his towering height on the other's unquiet hand playing with the chain of the spirit lamp. His face was very white. Phil drew a long, slow breath and looked up. Bornhain spoke. His voice was cold and measured; the only sign of agitation was in the slow, spasmodic working of the great white fingers against the dark wood. "I have brought you here tonight," he said. "to make you a proposition. I have need of help—of a kind that you can give me. It will require certain qualities which I think you possess—which we possess in common. I have chosen you because you have daring, and because you are not troubled by what the coward calls confidence that fool's name for fear!" Phil touched his dry lips with his tongue. "I have as little of that as the next man," he replied. "I never found I needed much." Bersonian continued: "What I have to say I can say without misleading, for if you told it before the fact there is possibly but one man in Japan who would think you mine, and if you told it after—well, for your own safety you will not tell it them. Your acceptance of my proposition will have a definite effect on your prospects, which. I believe, can scarcely be looked on as bright." Phil uttered an oath. "You need not remind me of that," he said, with surly emphasis. "I've got about as much prospects as a coolie stewardore. What, what of it?" The cold voice went on, and now it had gathered a sneer: "You are twenty-three, educated, good looking, with the best of life WILL JONES I HAVE CHOOSED YOU." before you, but dependent on the nig- gardly charity of a rich brother for the very bread you eat. Even born on this shirt of the world where pleas- ure are cheap. It is only by dist of debt that you keep your head above water. Now your sedate relative has come to sit in judgment on your past year. What does he care for your private tastes? What will he do when he bears the griefs suppers and the har chita at the club and the resuscite table at the bungalow? Increase that guestroom stipend of pots? I fancy not. "Fill it a cigar with a hand that shoot." The doctor's contemptuous words had reward a shattering anger that raced with the alcohol in his blood. He, with the tastes of a gentleman, so pour in a temple rose, while his brother still stood the glaze in the stammer pole. The new allowance cut off— now your sedate relative to the shady WILL JONES "WIPA, DACK!" HE GRIBD LOUDLY—"WIPA, SING!" quick way to gain it—not by years, but by days—wealth such as you have never dreamed, enough to make your brother pear beneath you. Not only money, but power and place and bonuses, in the stake big enough to play for! Phil stared at him, fascinated. "What do you—want to do?" He almost meowed the words. The expert looked him in the eye a full moment in silence, his fingers crawling and twitching. Then with a quick, leopard-like movement he went to the wall safe, opened it and took out what seemed a square metal box. In its top was set an indicator, like the range finder of a camera. Its very touch seemed to melt his ice control. His paleness flushed; his hand trembled as he set it upon the desk. "Wait!" he said. "Wait!" He looked swiftly about the room. His eyes rested on the bamboo cage, and a quick gleam shot across his face. He opened the wire door, and the little bird hopped to his finger. He moved a metal pen rack to the very center of the desk and perched the tiny creature on it. It burst into song, warbling full throated, packed with melody. Bersonis set the metal case a little distance away and adjusted it with minute care. "Bing, Dick," he cried loudly—"sing, sing." The song stopped. There had come a thrill in the air, a puff of ky wind on Phil's face, a thin chiming like a fairy cymbol. Phil sprang up with a cry. The fisty ball, with its metal perch, had utterly disappeared; only in the center of the desk was a pinch of reddish brown powder like the dust of an emery wheel, laid in feathery whoris. He stared transfixed. "What does it mean?" he asked horrily. The doctor's voice leaped now with an evil exultation. "It means that I. Bernouin, have found what physicists have dreamed of for fifty years. I have solved the secret of the love and hatred of atoms. That box is the barnacles of a force beside which the engines of modern war are children's toys." He grasped Phil's arm with a force that made him wince. The amber eyes glittered. "At first I planned to sell it to the highest bidder among the powers. I was a fool to think of that. The question that buys it to guard the secret for itself must wall me in a fortress. That would be the reward of Beresina—the great Beresina, who had wrested from nature the most subtle of her secrets! But I am too clever for that. It must be I—I alone—who holds the key! It shall bring me many things, but the first of these is money. I must have funds—unlimited funds. The money I despise, except as a stepping stone, but the money you love and must have. Well, I offer it to you!" Phil's heart was beating hard. The tension of the room had increased; a hundred suffocating atmospheres seemed pressing on it. "How—how"—be stammered. Bersonia took a paper from his pock et, unfolded it and laid it on the stand. It was a chart of Yokohama harbor. A red square was drawn in the margin, and from this a fine, nee- delike ray pointed out across the an- chorage. With his pencil the doctor wrote two words on the red square— "The Roost." Phil wbrank trembling into his chair. He seemed to see the other looking at him over clinking glasses at the club. while voices spoke from the next room. "What if one of those friendliness should go down in this friendly harbor?" It came from his lips in a this whisper, almost without his volition, the answer to the question that had haunted him that day. A glimpse like the five of unhealthy altars came in Bersonia's eyes. "Not one-two! A bolt from a blue sky that will echo over Europe! And what then? A fury of popular passion in one country; suspicion and alarm in all. Rumors of war, fanned by the yellow press. The bottom dropping out of the market. It means millions at a single coup, for, in spite of diplomatic quibbles, the market is, like a cork. The Paris bores is soaring. Wall street will make new record tomorrow. In London consents are at all. My amps are awaiting my word. I have many, for that is safer. I shall spread selling orders over five countries—British bonds in Vienna and New York and steel and American railways in London. I rist all and you making. Yet if you join hands with me in this we shall share alike, you and I. And with the wish we get now we shall get there. Trust me to know the way. Money shall be direct to you.

A colored Lan calling himself, "Captain John E. Simpson" and all times calling under other names has been. persistently swindling both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebus. His plan has been to represent that he has money in a colored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tail him to send him six hundred and fifty tolls, or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Richmond. He alleges that he is captain of a mailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter be sent to him in care of the person who advances the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Knip close of Captain John E.

Dear Editor:—As there are so many things that the people are neglecting all over the world, and especially those of the United States, that any one who, seeing the sad conditions of the race and really wishes to help them can hardly do one thing at a time; and as I should be giving more of my time to the translating of this article for your publication and seeing the rapid growth which being made of my family, I feel it any day and I see no one else doing it to warn you and help you to see the things which seem visible to all, but sadly not headed. You people surely do not know that your actions in America are greatly influencing the actions of the world. And I often tremble at the rapid pace which is being made by the common enemy of true progress, with his claustrophied social ideas. I feel that your own conscience needs a little awakening to the awful situation of things. And I will tell you, sir, that it is when you are with all other people that you form a desire to do more for the people than any other thing with no little money. Your race needs education such as no one school can give. And if you intend to do all that you can for your race and eventually for your self I tell you, you had better strike out in the lead as none other to my knowledge is making any universal attempt to arrest the enemy in his terrible strides to not only enslave the colored races or race all over the world. And I say, sir, that you can do more with your own hands than with a ble and prepare them for the great troubles which confront them than any college or college educator, or public speaker. I now I could write these things it book form and sell them to me, get myself a great name among prefer to give them free, and leave my honor as to what it is worth to you, and if I were with you and I speak to you, why you would like to think that it was politics, if I did not make something to sell. But let me tell you that we can best defend ourselves by defending others. And we can most surely thusly ourselves by hurting others. think others: If a rat runs up your pants, legs, or a bee gets up your elbows, why you have to hit the arm; or jog as the case may be, to get rid of your tormentor, or else you will have to endure his tormenting until some other remedy can be applied. And this is my philosophy in these many In order to do the most good, for society first blot out the greatest evil. We best employ our strength when we help the weak and we abuse it when we oppress the weak. Man be he ever so tall, but he is only so high as the foundation upon which he stands. You cannot really away from yourself and live, therefore you must either bring things to yourself or make yourself to things, if you really must, come together, and if you who wish to be respected you must show yourself respect by respecting others. I choose these words a short way to tell you the many important things which all should know, as the best way to teach one what one does not know is to tell one of the things which one knows best. The fire beaten in a corner, but it has now spread all over the building, and one does not put it out, it will burn in the town. What hurts you in America also hurms me in Brazil, and our community pain will afford the whole world. It will burn. he has not been lauded. Now I say that the Negroes must build their race by building good use of their journals and the journals should not make bad use of the people. There is no one kind of education or business great enough for the Negro race nor is there any too small for your education. The Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. For if you will only take advantage, air, of your own opportunities you can see with ten millions eyes, and hear with as many ears, and although you speak through but one journalistic mouth your words when timely and properly spoken will be echoed and reechoed a hundred-million times and, each time with more force. INSTRUCTION IN THE SCIENCES Now, let me tell you that the No. 1 gross need greatly a school of steam and electric engineering. You need schools of technology of every species. You need greater commercial schools. You should have greater schools of physics and chemistry, and in these said schools the people or students should not be hampered with any inferior dogma, either. You need military schools where the very highness of the rank is the key. You need prominent law schools, where you can teach your children true sociology and universal politics. You should be sending out civil and mechanical engineers every year. You should not be giving them low-rated certificates either. You should teach your people the need of establishing businesses in other countries. You should teach them the need of being their own producers and consumers. You should teach them manufacturing as well as producing that. You should teach them how to make combines, how to coerce, in fact the great law of economy in all its branches. And in your society meetings, you should do more talking upon how to build up your race as a whole and scoot any small idea which is confined to the doxma of any one country. And I my again, sir, that you and your organ can do more in the life of your people than you Booker T. Washington. You will not have to. To 10.000 to speak to the people of any one State your country, nor to really know what is going on there. You do not need to wait for news from the Associated Press in order to do your people the most good. What you really need to do, Mr. White, if you will pardon me (and it is no duty of your race in very part of the world) is to get in touch with the outside world and know their needs and tell them what You need more co-operation with yours and similar races all over the world. You need, really, to invent for your people and then teach them how to it. You need to build ships of you to it. You need to go into other parts of the world and see what you can do for other people and what they can do for you. Your race must learn how to own and control. They must learn how to produce or create businesses for one another. Your ships should be managed with colored sailors. You should use all the capital you can get your hands upon but let always have your business controlled by men of your own race. I say again that your journals should find some way to pay their own people to tell them exactly what is going on in the other parts of the country and world. You can never get the fullest' value of anything without trying every market. And in this way such as have briefly sketched to you here, you can make money, give employment to your own people and teach them how to do business at the same time. And in your every move, you will be giving your people an education no school on earth can give and they who learn in this way will not the themselves inferior to any people, and they will prove of great respect, respect the race. By these ways you encourage your children to study. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. You have a Bold and a privilege to make your name the greatest of all living Negro. But, sir, I warn you that these things cannot be done in the way they are given of doing and talking. What I mean is selected race needs to 'keep their body healthy' in the every day environment. I cannot get a real good thing without paying something for it. You can not expect your race to stick together or unless there is something to stick them. What the Negro needs to learn is how it really pays to feed and care for the cow that gives the milk to support the 'family', and the quicker you learn this, the better. I say therefore, again, that your able man get too much of your praise and not enough of your physical support. The PLANET should be made a daily and should have a staff of reporters in every part of the world among every class of people, to tell the real existing conditions and in the ways you will soon dispel this growth prejudice. I say that here are things. Brazil which would do any other people in your condition to know and there are things in all parts which you should know. are. Therefore, I say that every individual should know how to make reports to a journal. They should be taught to practically how to examine and note very least thing, and they can learn by practicing. Therefore, I say that colored children should be taught to send in reports of their daily lives, and when one makes a good report, it should be recomposed, so as to encourage its continuance, as then is more or less always some thing going on which would help to make reports and such news in the hands of the proper editor can be made of much value to all. Now, I wish to say that a matter as these are of much importance to the colored race as it now stands, and should be discussed and redis-cussed, every assemblage of colored people. Let young and old learn the art of the reporter and with the advice of the editor they will be able to learn many other things of far greater value to themselves. I say, that you may really quit acting like so many children and get out and solve your race question like men. And why should we do this? Because common sense teaches us that we should secure a foundation to build on before we choose a national leader to do the building. Slavery was the worst robbery that ever existed since our Creator created man and woman and the United States government as responsible for that terrible robbery and the wealth that those old slaves piled up for their masters during the slavery has gone down from one white generation to another until the present day. Mothers and fathers were not the only ones who were robbed during slavery but the innocent babies who were being nursed at their mothers' breast were robbed likewise and if we are an intelligent people, we will put forth an effort to collect this bill and if we are successful then and say prepare Africa for our future homes and become an independent people like other nations. There is a large number of our people who doubt who have accumulated so much more pride than they have knowledge until they don't want to hear of going to Africa. I believe some future day we all will be proud of Africa and that will be the proper place for us to go if we go anywhere at all. In the first place it is an honest bill and one that the United States government cannot get around from a moral standpoint. After this bill has been presented for settlement, then we can get busy and choose a national leader if necessary. There is one thing which our leading men should do and that is to keep an eye upon white friends. We live in a great many ways some of them do us a favor just so they can get a chance to do us harm in some way and is usually underline in some way. In conclusion I hope every reader of this letter will see the importance of this bill that I have mentioned because it means more than I have the time to explain. at this writing, MUST NOT WAIT FOR LEADER Therefore, do not wait for a leader, you may be the one who God has intended to lead. Start in right where you are and do all you can and when you see another doing something you should think how can he help him and in the meanwhile get help from him. This is the science of cooperation, and there is nothing on earth worst among a colored people than true and healthy cooperation, and there are no people on earth more willing to respond to a public demand than colored people. But I say that they have been most abused and imposed upon and greatly by those of their own race. Those only had enough education to get money and labor out of the rest, but they the brains and character to make the best use of it, and thus we find that the colored race is the worst crippled of all races. They can hardly trust themselves, and they are right, too. Everything that shines, but has not all other value is carried, and shoved of it the Negro, and the lenders will not not mean effort to stop it either. You can ask me to pose that this is sapping the very life out of your race. The Negro must it only earn what a great part the brain and comb play in keeping his hooks in good shape for work. He must learn when, why and how to grease learn wagon. He must learn why that his should be blackened and his best knit of blacking to use on them. But the only examples of other things he should learn with records to his treatment of his own race. You help yourselves when you help your race and you hurt yourselves when you hurt the least of your race. You hurt your race when you give it a bad name and you help it when you give it a good one. You do better or worse as the case may be, when you prove these things to be true. THE GREATEST EVIL newspaper must send such articles to the news and to the press stations that the obliged writer will not willing to do the whole duty to the right kind of a newspaper. Newspapers should have commitment to visit the press and the plot but there is prison as well. The press, should bequire into all of their statements whether or not they are members of your respective orders. Colored people who have money must go first to foreign parts and establish businesses and then let their own race follow you. Mother should be taught all possible about every walk of life so that they can in turn teach their children, so that the children will be ready to receive and obey the orders of men of business in their own race. And if one doubts the need of those little things let them account for the reason that colored business then prefer white help, and why that women are more economical business men. You blame the child, but I say that the kind is not to be blamed. It is the kind of training it received at home and it makes but little difference what it learns about books. HARD TO OUTGROW IT It is hard for it to outgrow home training and for this reason it is for your special benefit that no parent abuse their children. It is not the club which makes the most respectful child, neither is it the fear it has which makes it the most obedient. Love will do more with one than fear. England has stopped the schools from punishing their children as of yore, and the result is that they are turning out brighter and better-young men. If one will take the proper care with their little ones, when they have grown up, that will be more desirable companions for others. It is sometimes the loose way in which the colored child is raised which makes the parent think it the improper association or their children and this will prove a draw-back to the colored children all their days. And further, it gives a bad impression for his race and country. All other is nuclear. It everybody tries to kill a snake, not for what it has done but for what it may do. Now, I truly hope that I am perfectly understood in these homely remarks, but I tell you all that here are some of the real solutions to the race problem, and the quicker you get these and other like things in practice the quicker you have mastered the situation, which seem otherwise insurpassable, again say that your journal can do more real good in six months, than your greatest school or orator can do in five years. And here is why you should give and seek advice through your journal. This is the hope of your race. No one man can do you the good nor the harm that an edition can with his journal. Thus journal.

TAYLOR, Traffic Manager. POPULATION OF VIRGINIA Washington, D. C., Dec. 13, 1911 A preliminary statement of the white and necro population of Virginia, by counties and independent cities, as shown by the return of the Thirteenth Decennial Census, taken of April 15, 1910, was issued today by Director Durand of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commissaries and Labor. The statistics were prepared under the direction of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the Census Bureau, and are subject to later revision. The total population of Virginia in 1910 was subdivided as to colors as follows: White, 1,389,809; negro, 671,096; all other persons (Indians, Chinese and Japanese) for 1907. The equivalent figures for 1900 were: White, 1,192,855; negro, 660,722; all other, 607. For 1890 they were: White, 1,020,122; negro, 635,438; all other, 420. The negro population constituted 32.2 per cent. of the total population of the state in 1910, as against 26.6 per cent. in 1900, and 38.4 per cent. in 1890. There has been an increase for the negro population since 1900 of 10.374, or 1.6 per cent, which than half the rate for the preceding decade, for which the increase was 25,284, or 4.9 per cent. The white population practically maintained the same rate of increase from 1890 to 1910 as from 1890 to 1900, the increase being respectively 196,954, or 16.5 per cent., as against 172, 753, or 16.9 per cent. Not long after his marriage, Greenwood LaFlore returned to Miss Sissipil, where, in 1822, though 22 years of age, he was elected Chief of the Choctaw Nation. The title of Colonel was conferred upon him and he. was given a sword and medal which Thomas Jefferson had bestowed upon a former Chief. The sword was a beautiful blue steel blade with gold mounted handle. The medal was of silver, about 4 inches in diameter and was symbolic of the peace and good will which existed between the United States and the Choctaw Nation. Greenwood LeFlore's influence ove vent the Indians was good and spread through the entire nation. He was a recognized advocate of educa- tion for the Indians and under his leadership the Council enacted laws for the support of teachers to down witchery and sorcery, and drew every homicide a fair trial for the written Indian law of blood for blood and life for life. He pro- hibited the use of intolerants and encouraged religious and civil ma- riages, permanent residence, esti- tivation of the soil and the Christian religion. Richmond city had a population a in 1910 of 127,628, compiling 80, 87 white, 46,732 negroes and 16 other persons (Chinese and In- dian). The equivalent figures for a 1900 were of white, 52,738; negro, 32,230; all other, 22... For 1890 they were: White, 9,034; negro, 32,330; all other, 49. The negro population of Rich- mond constituted 26.6 per cent. of the total in 1910, as against 37.9 per cent. in 1900, and 39.7 per cent. in 1890. During the past decade the increase in both the whites and negroes was quite large, which was due to the annexation of Manchester since 1900. The increase in the negroes from 1900 to 1910 was 14,505, or 45.0 per cent., as against a decrease of 10.0 or 0.3 per cent. for the preceding decade. The whites increased during the ten years 28,031, or 53.2 per cent., as comp- pared with an increase of 7,764 or 7.7 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. The white and negro population of Virginia in 1910 and 1900 is given for each of the counties and independent cities as follows: Probably few of the American tourists who visit Malmaison, the chateau near Paris in which the Empress Josephine made her home and who intimately associated with the beauty of her romance of life, are aware that the mannequin Southern mansion bears the same name. The American Malayan is located about ten miles east of Grandwood, Minnesota, on the line of the Southern Railway in Minnesota.

Major Donly was the father of a fair daughter, Rosa, and a youthful attendant was developed between the tutelary, young people. Greenwood LoFleire, with the high sense of honor, governed him through life, told Major Donly of his love for Rosa and made permission to marry her. The Maiden and Mrs. Donly objected on account of the youthfulness of both partners. "Some time afterwards the young man asked kakeda. Denly what he would do if he were in love and the lady's parents objected to his marrying her. Without, suspecting the design of the question, the major said: "I would steal her and away with her."

Colored Town Progressive. Mound Bayou, Miss., Jan. 6. Representative men were in Mound Bayou from all parts of the State, and a large number from Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana were here during the week attending a conference called by the leading citizens of this place looking to the commercial, and business development of Mound Bayou, which is the oldest negro town in the country, and which is making rapid progress along all lines. It now has a population of nearly 1,000, industrious citizens. Long since Mound Bayou has been considered an important place for the investment of the capital of the members of the colored race. The business enterprises launched have all proven a success. Some of the most successful merchants in the country are here; and in addition to this are to be found one newspaper, one bank, two drug stores, one photograph gallery, three schools, four church a, three insurance companies represented, the Masonic Benefit Association, one library building, and assembly hall, and the only real oil mill owned and operated by negroes is located here. The meeting held here this week was attended by men of the race with money, men of thought, men who are directly interested in the program of the race from every view added. The oil mill project is something new among the race, hence they wanted to discuss it, to learning something about its operations, and many of them p robbed stock, after they had learned about it. The mill was erected at the cost of $25,000, all of which has been paid or by subscriptions made by the men and women of the race and organisations through the purchase of stock, leaving a debtlessness of $12,000. The seed house and ware room is a large frame building 244250 equipped with all the latest machinery, while the main building g is a brick two stories high 244250 and has all the latest machinery for carrying on the business of constructing the oil from the cotton seed. It is one of the large mills in the South, and so careful have the promoters been in the work of constructing that the mill will pay a dividend the first year to its investors. At one time in HIs the migrants are putting forth an effort to do for themselves. They have decided that sitting around compulsively will never help them on their journey, but they must do, and they have entered the dating. In the enterprise they are locked by apprehension of the race around Mount Rushon, who own 20,000 acres of land, and some with good bank security. Also at the heading upwards to be found is Hep. Charles Mighty, proprietor of the Bank of Hampshire Bank and Notary. He is the head of the Hampshire Bank. in bringing about the spirit on the part of his race to get together and conduct business on a large scale by uniting their money and placing confidence in each other. The meeting was held in the Oil MiH building, ad was presided over by Rev. A. A. Cosey, D. D., of Mound Bayou. Rev. J. H. Greer, made the opening prayer, and this was followed by an address by Hon. F. T. Montgomery, founder, of Mound Bayou, and the first mayor. Mr. Montgomery, told of the importance of the men and women of his race uniting their efforts for the purpose of building up, and urged that each man and woman take part in every thing which meant for the moral uplift of the negro race in this country. Rev. A. A. Cosey, was the next speaker, and in his address said that no time in his life had he felt no encouraged about the future of his people in the United States. "We are now thinking and showing to the world that we can unite add that we are interested in our own development." John W. Francis, president of the Bank of Mound Bayou, spoke and he was followed by Dr. W. F. Kyle, Charles Banks, George H. Mays, Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., and Hon. K. J. T. Settle, of Memphis, Tenn. Then it was announced that the meeting was opened for business. Subscriptions to the oil mill project followed, and in less than ten minutes fully $2,000 was issued in stock, and the echo meeting held in Carnegie Library at night another large amount of stock was subscribed.

At the West Sixty-eighth street police station exists a complete dem- silation that it is possible for a man whom all of his fellows like to be treated as if everybody hated him. Samuel J. Battle, the only negro appointed to the force since Greater New York became a fact, has passed through his probationary stage and emerged a regular petroleum at $800 a year, but from the day he set foot in the station house not one of his comrades has spoken to him except on police business. He bunks alone in a little room removed from the main dormitory, he gets his turn in line when the house bootblack appears, he reads "The Scarlet Letter" and "Thelma" unmolested and unjeered at, he learns every new rule as fast as new rules appear, he is already regarded as a model cop and is so amiable and polite, albeit, dignified, that any man of the precinct will tell you "Battle's a thorough gentleman," yet in the station house nobody talks to him and on patrol the few who venture to say "Hello, Battle," speak from a corner of the mouth and are sure no other policeman is in sight. For the "alliance" that began when Battle entered the preclact last June is as deep as ever today, not because Battle is a negro—although that was the reason at first—but because every white policeman is afraid of what would be, said to and about him if he made any attempt to bring the "alliance" to an end. Six months ago, the men thought that Battle could be hazed into resigning, or at least into asking for a transfer. Now they know, he isn't that sort and he has made himself so respected that most of them would be sorry to see him depart, but he remains in Coventry because none of his white males has the courage to suggest to the others that he has earned release. Battle got his patrolman's certificate last Thursday night from Capt. Cowboy with the captain's best wishes for his success. Cowboy has been skipper in West Sixth-eighth street only a week. He has a reputation for fair dealing. He said yesterday he hadn't heard that Battle was being extradited and if it was true he hoped there would be a change. There is nothing in the rules to entangle a man to talk, to anybody, but as far as the captain is concerned Battle is to be treated like any other patrolman. The purpose is to thank him for his service. You will receive courteous attention and your patronage is earnestly solicited. Out of Town Orders Promptly Attended.

When I came North I went to West Glastonbury, Conn, and found myself the only colored man in town. A boarding house took me in without question and I went to the boss of a cotton mill for a job. He said, "I don't know about this, Hattie. We need men, but we've never employed a negro. "Wel," I said to the boss, "if you've never had a colored man you don't know whether there'll be any trouble or not. Take me on and see." He did, and there wasn't a speck of trouble. "Eight years ago I became one of those red capped porters at the Grand Central Station. I stayed there until last June and never had a complaint against me. I got to be assistant chief of the porters, married and was content, until one day it struck me that assistant chief was all I could ever hope to be and there wouldn't be any pension when I got to be an old man. So I said to myself I'm going to be a policeman. I took the examination and stood 1938 among 628 men. When my name got to the top of the eligible list I was passed over twice because the surgeon said I had a "murmuring heart," although I am positive my heart never murmured in its whole life. Then Mr. Waldo became Commissioner, the civil service law was enforced and here I am." Capt. Conboy deported after this recital. Then Battle told The Sun reporter that he hadn't a single complaint to make about his treatment by the other policemen, and an for the captains and lieutenants they seemed to have gone out of their way to be kind to him. He seriously refused to admit that a "slipcase" had been declared against him. He said: "The other officers just go their ways and let me go mine. I haven't say klak." But, the white patrolmen—well the remarks of an Irish one of them who was encountered not far from the station house is a sample of what they said: "Battle—that nigger cop! I haven't heard of anybody having a word with him except on police business ain't he got on probation, and that's more than six months. I never knew to him myself except when we met at the end of our bourse with no other police care in the viscosity. I didn't not the move of a grocery cart and an automobile on Central Park West. There were three prisoners, and all I could tend to under the circumstances was two Along comes Battle on his way to the house. Says he: "Want me to take one of them in! Breakin' my rule about not speakin' to him I says: I certainly would be obliged. So he takes the prisoner to the house as cheerful as you please, and if you know how the ordinary police man hates to do anybody else's work you know what that means. "Another time!" went on the policeman, "a big hotel near here—you know its name—telephoned to Headquarters that a cop was asleep in the cellar. The cop was found to be Battle. He wasn't asleep, and he had been sent to the cellar by the sergeant, but they had him up on charges. Of course Dillon threw out the case. I says after that, I remember, that any hotel that would do that to a darky would do it to a white man, and I'm never goin' inside the old dump again. "But as for sayin' howdydo' to Battle in the 'station house—not me," concluded the now departing patroi-man. Battle has had several posts, none of them in the San Juan Hill region. Now he patrols Central Park West from the Circle to sixty-seventh street, and takes his regular turn at night fixed post duty. He says he willing to go to the negro quarter if asked to, or anywhere else. His only worry is that under the regulations he cannot be examined for promotion until five years are up. In his time off he reads: Just now it's Winston Churchill. He likes Hawthorne best of the men, action writers (he says "The Scarlet Letter" was a "revelation") and favors Marie Corleil among the women. He thinks well of Hardy and has recently read "Tem of the D'Urborville." His Memory is accurate on United States history. He has also read Gibbon, but although Rome appeals to him he feels that knowledge of his own country will help him more.—New York Sun, January 8, 1912. We Do Press Work for the Trade.

JANUARY 18, 1918 The Kingdom of Slender Swords (Continued from Sixth Page.) CHAPTER XV. BARBARA pushed open the bamboo gate of the simple garden, then paused. The reeve with whom she had talked yesterday sat a little way inside, while before him, in an attitude of deepest attention, stood the diminutive figure on the huge cloak whose morning acquaintance she had made from her window. Thorn was looking at him curiously with his great myoplex eye through a heavy glass mounted with a handle like a lorgnette. Barbara's foot grunted on a pebble as he rose with a started quickness. The child ducked with a jerky audacnness that sent his round, battered but rolling at Barbara's feet. She picked it up and set it on the shaven head. WILL JONES "Oh!" she said bumily, "I beg your pardon. I takishk! I put the rim right in your eye!" "Don't mea- sum it," he re- turned solemnly, "I got another." He stalked to the gate, faced about, bobbed over again and disappeared. 7. BEG YOUR FAR DON." Barbara looked after him smilingly. "Is labkichi in straitened circumstances, or is his bent political economy?" "His father has been ill for a long time," Thorn replied. "He keeps a shop, and in some way the child has heard that they will have to give it up. It troubles him, for he can't imagine existence without it." "What a pity! I would be so glad to do you think I could give them something." He shook his head. "After you have been here awhile you will find that simple charity in Japan is not apt to be a welcome thing." "I am beginning to understand already," she said as they walked along the stepping stones. "that these gentle manneered people do not lack the sterner qualities. Yet how they grace them! The iron hand is here, but it has the velvet glove. Courtey and kindness seem almost a religion with them." "More," he answered. "This is the only country I have seen in the world whose people when I walk the street do not seem to notice that I am disfigured." She made no pretense of misunderstanding. "Bellieve me," she said gently, "it is no disgreement. But I understand. My father lived all his life in the dread of blindness." A faint sound came from him. She was aware without lifting her eyes to his that he was staring at her strangely. "All his life. Then your father is not living." "I died before I was born." She glanced at him as she spoke, for his tone had been muffled and indistinct. There was a deep furrow in his forehead which she had not seen before. "Do you look like him?" "No; he was dark. I am like my mother." Thorn was looking away from her. "My mother died, too, when I was a Little girl," she added, "so I know really very little about him." She had forgotten to look for the Flower of Dream. "Will you tell me that little?" he asked. "I think I should like to hear." "I very wisdom talk about him," she said, looking dreamily out across the distance, "but not because I don't like you. You see, knowing so little, I used to dream out the rest, so that he came to seem quite real. Does that sound very childish and painful?" "Tell me the dream," he answered, "Mine are always more true than facts." "He was born," she began, "in the Mediterranean" She turned her bead. The stone on which Thorn's foot rested had crushed into the water. He staggered slightly in regaining his balance, and his face had the pale, startled look it wore when the pale had first seen her from the roadside. He drew back, and again his hand went up across his face. "Yes," he said, "Go on." "In the Mediterranean—just where I don't know, but on an island—and his mother was Romantic. I have never seen Greece, but I like to know that some of it in my blood. His father was American, of a family that had a tradition of gypsy doestest. Perhaps he was born with the "thumb print" on the palm that they call the Romany mark. As a child I used to wonder what it looked like." She groped up at him, but his face was turned away. He had taken his hand from his beard and slipped it into his same sleeve and laughed rigidly over. "I also used to try to imagine his mother. I am sure she had a dark and mysterious face, with deep purple lips and like a wild pearl, after she died. She was so beautiful." "The so common Pen Patron," he responded, "and so Queen had two Agnes Pneumaticae." "You," she said, surprised. "Is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. You know it." "It is the old Greek orthodox fashion, he said in a low voice. "I should not wonder," she continued. "If she made three little wounds on him as a baby, as I have read Greek mothers do, to place him under the protection of the Trinity. She must have loved him—her first baby boy! And I think the most of what he was came to him from her." Thorn moved his position suddenly, and Barbara saw his shoulders rise in a deep taken breath. "Love of right and hatred of wrong," he said, "indemnification for the beautiful and the true, faith in man and woman, sensitivity to artful things—all it is most often the mother who makes men what they are. Not our strength or power of calculation, but her heart and power to love! In the twilight of every house one saw the mother mots glowing like fireflies I never had a picture of my mother. I would rather have her portrait than a fortune." His voice was charged with feeling. She felt a strange flutter of the heart and painful and learning sympathy such as she had never felt before. "I wonder what he saw from that Greek cradle," she resumed. "I could never fancy the room so well. I suppose it had pictures. Do you think so?" He nodded. "And maybe—on one wall—a Greek iron, protected by a silver case. I've seen such that left exposed only the olive brown faces and hands and feet of the figures. Jeremiah when he was very little he used to think the brown Virgin represented his mother and the large eyed child himself." "Ah!" she cried, and a deeper light came in her eyes. "You have been in Greece? You have seen what he saw!" But he made no reply, and after a moment she went on: "He had never known what terror was till one day an accident, received in play, brought him the fear of blindness. It must have stayed with him all his life after that, wherever he went—for he lived in other countries. I have a few leaves of an old diary of his. Here and there I feel it in the lines." She, too, fell silent. "And then?" he said. "There my dreams end. You see how little I know of him. I don't know why he came to Japan. But he met my mother here, and bore they were married. I should always love Japan, if only for that." "He—died here?" "In Nagasaki. My mother went back to America, and there I was born." She was looking out across the wide space where the roofs sank out of sight—to the foliaged slope of Aoyama. Suddenly a thrill, a curiously complex motion, ran over her. Above those far treetops, sailing in slow, sweeping concentric circles, she saw a great machine, like a gigantic vulture. She knew instantly what it was, and there flashed before her the memory of a day at Fort Logan when a brave young lieutenant had crashed to death before her eyes in a shattered aeroplane. If Daunt were to fall what would it mean to her! in that instant the garden about her. Thorn, the blue sky above, faded, and she stared dismayed into a gulf in whose shadows lurked the disastrous, the terrifying, the irreparable. "I love him! I love him! It seemed to peel like a temple pelt." through her brain. Even to herself she could never deny it again. She became aware of music near at hand. It brought her back to the present, for it was the sound of the organ in the new chapel across the way. Looking up, she was struck by the expression on Thorn's face. He seemed, listening, to be held captive by some dure recollection. It brought to her mind that bitter cry: I cannot but remember such things that That were most precious to me! Bee rose with a sudden swelling of the throat. "I must go now," she said. "The chapel is to be dedicated this morning. The organ is playing for the service now." She led the way along the stepping stories to the bamboo gate. As they approached, through the interstices of the farther hedge she could see the figure of the ambassador, with Mrs. Dandridge, among the kinnosen entering the chapel door. In the temple across the yard the baton had begun its tapping, and the dulled, monotonous toment mingled weirly with the soaring harmonies of the organ. With her hand on the paling she spoke agaia: "One thing I didn't tell you. It was I who built the chapel. It is in memory of my father. See, there is the memorial window. They were putting it in place when I came a little while ago." She was not looking at Thorn, or she would have seen his face overpressed with a whiteness like that of death. He stood as if frozen to marble. The morning sun on the chapel's eastern side, striking through its open cements, lighted the iridescent rose window with a tender radiance, gliding the dull yellow aurora about the head of the Master and giving life and glow to the face beside him-dark, beardless and penniless tendered-at which Thorn was, staring, with what seemed almost an agony of ingenuity. "St. John," she said softly, "the disciples whom Jesus loved." She drew from the bosom of her dress the bucket she always wore and opened it. "The face was painted from this—the only picture I have of my father." His hand twitched as he took it. He looked at it long and carefully at the name curved on his neck. "Barton-Barnard" he said. "She thought his face under the gray umbrella." "Two are a Buddha, the one you see the other you don't. And Buddha is the opposite of the Buddha the other is. And the two are Buddha." He put her locked into his hands tenderly. "He will call and tell him, 'We will see it through a hundred experiences!'" Her eyes were met and smiling. "I am glad you think that," she said. In the chapel the bishop's knelted as it went out over the troubling people. "We be honest, we want in this place now set apart to thy service thy holy name may be wounded in death and purity through all generations." The voice rang valiant and clear in the summer bush. It cramped the still lane and entered a window where, in a temple loft, a man sat still and gray and quiet, his hands clinched in his kimono sleeves: "We humbly dedicate it to thee in the memory of one for the saving of whose soul thou wert lifted upon the cross." The man in the loft threw himself on his face wilt a terrible cry. "My child!" he cried in a breaking voice. "My little, little child, whom they have robbed me of—whom I have never known in all these yeary years! You have grown away from me—I shall never have you now! Never—never!" Behind him the image of Kwan-on, the All-Pitying, towed the sunlight about the room in golden lettered shawns, and beneath his closed and burning lids there seemed to blend and weave—to form bossed letters which had stared at him from the rim of the rose window: "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me." CHAPTER XVL DAUNT LISTEN TO A 2050. THE day had dawned suitely, with a promise of summer humidity, and Daunt was not surprised to find the barometer performing inintermediate antics "Confound it!" he muttered irritably as he dreaded. "If it was a month later one would think there was a typhoon waiting around somewhere in the China was." That morning had seen his first triest of his new fan propeller, and the gilder's action had surpassed his wildest expectations. The flight, of which Barbara had caught a glimpse from Thorn's garden, had been a longer than usual—quite twelve miles against a sluggish upper current—but even that failed to bring its customary glow. Today Daunt could not exercise with the mass of detail the leeing limbs that plagued him. They peered at him over the edge of the code books and whispered from the margins of decoups dinathes, chuckling matrically. "Barbara!" she answered. "Nepre acquaintances, often name steam yachts for girls, don't they? Arrived the same day, as her ship, eh? Rather singular coincidence! What a flush she had when Voynich spoke of Phil's brother last night at the tea house. Angry! Of course she was! What engaged girl likes to have the fact paraded, especially when she's practicing on another man? And how about the telegram? How long have you known her, by the way? Two days? Really, now! closed at noon, and pouch days were half holidays, but Daunt did not go to the embassy. An official letter had arrived from Washington which must be delivered in Kamakura. Daunt seted this excuse, plunged ferociously into tweeds and an hour afterward found himself in a railway carriage thudding gloomily toward the lower bay. In his heart he knew that he was trying to run away—from something that nevertheless traveled with him. At Kamakura an immediate answer to the letter he brought was not forthcoming, and to kill the time he strolled far down the curved beach. Daunt knew a tea house on the very lip of the cliff, the Kinkiro—"Inn of the Golden Turtle"—and he bent his steps lazily in its direction. At the hedge he paused an instant. Some one somewhere was humming, low voiced, an air that he had once loved. He pushed open the gate and went on into the tremulous radiance. Then he stopped short. Barbara was seated above him in the fork of a low camellia tree, one arm laid out along a branch, her green gown blending with a bamboo thicket behind her and her vivid face framed in the blossoms. She met, chin in hand, looking dreamily out across the bay, and the hummed song had a rhythm that seemed to fit her thought—slow and infinitely tender. "Too!" he cried. She turned with a, startled movement that dissolved into low, delicious laughter. "Fairly caught," she answered. "I don't often revert far enough to climb trees, but I thought no one but Hair and I was here. Will you come and help me down, Hourglass Plyman?" "Walt," he said. "What was the song you were humming?" She looked at him with a quick intake of breath, then for answer began to sing, in a voice that presently became scarce more than a whisper: "Forgotten you! Well, if forgetting If counting each moment with longing Till the one when I see you again. If this be forgetting, you're right, dear, and I forget you them! Daint's hand fell to his side. A young girl's face nested in creamy pink blossoms—a sweet, shy, dusted face under a mans of curling gold brown hair. "I remember now," he mild in a low voice. "I sang it to you that day." "I am flattered!" she exclaimed. "The day before yesterday you had forgotten that you ever saw poor little me! It was brun. Clayburne, of course, that you sang! For you were my ideal for a long month and a day." "It was to you," he mild curiosity. "I didn't know your name. But I never forgot the song. I remembered it that night in the garden which I first heard you playing." They waited together ground the swinging arm, flicking with the hand. "Please remember you." Saturday and the Sunday morning. Susan Brennan, 65, of New York, passed away from cancer in the hospital. She knew good and well, and the living things had been. In the brightness of her physical presence hawked and feathery opened his gait longingly. What man who owned a stream yacht, knowing her, would wish to name it the Barbara? Walking beside her, so near that by dawn IIM the touch of her light light distilled his brilliance. It now Will Jones ed impossible that he should ever again be other than light bearded. The was no acquaintance of hours, after all. He had known her for seven years. He was in wild spirit. They stopped at a tea house openon all aides and; stirring cross legged on its tatame, drank tea from cartenware pota that bled only a small cupful. They were laughing like two children, down the giggling stone steps. He poluted to a gloomy fissure which ran into the mountain at a little distance. "O maleen, journeying to holy ten," he said, "behold her shrine!" "How disillusioning!" "People had love so sometimes." She slowly shook her head. "Not all of them," she said softly-- "I am old fashioned enough not to believe that." "We will ask Boston about it," he said. "Oh, but not 'we'," she cried. "I must go alone. Don't you know the legend? People quarrel if they go together." "Not in some of my moods. Ask my head boy. Today, for instance"—"Well!" for he had paused. "I was meditating self destruction when I met you." "By what interesting method, I wonder?" "I was about to search for a volcano to jump into." "I thought that the nearest active crater is a hundred miles away." "So it is, but I'm an absentminded bagger." She laughed. "May I ask what inspired today's suicidal mood?" "It was a telegram." "Oh!" she colored faintly. "I-I hope it held no bad news." He looked into her eyes. "I hope not, he said. Something else was on his tongue when "Look!" also exclaimed. "How strange the sea looks off there!" From where they stood steps were roughly bent into the rock, winding across the face of the cliff. Behind these stone pillars were socketed, carrying an iron chain that hung in rusted festoones. Along this precarious pathway from the cavern an old man was hastily coming, followed by a boy with a sagging bundle tied in a white cloth. "That parcel, no doubt," said Daunt, "contains the day's offerings. Wait! You're not going!" for she had started down the steps. She had turned to answer when with the suddenness of an explosion a burst of wad fell on them like a flapping weight, spattering them with drops that struck the rock as if hurled from a allogul of melted metal. Daunt had sprung to her side and was shouting something. But the words were indistinguishable. She shook her head and went on stubbornly, clinging to the chain, a whirl of blown gems. She felt him grasp her arm. "Go back!" she shrieked. "It's—bad—buck" As he released her, there came a second's menacing blow, and in it she sprang down the steps and ran swiftly out along the pathway. He was after her in an instant, overtaking her on a small frill board trestle that spanned a pool where the cliff was perpendicular. Here the wind, shaggy with sprains, hurried them together. Dawn threw an arm shot her, clinging with the other hand to the wooden railing. Her hair was a reddish swirl across his shoulder, and her breath, panting against his throat, riddled his skin with a creeping delight. He bent and shouted into her ear. All she caught was, "Must—cave—next tail!" She nodded her head, and her lips smiled at bith through the confused obscurity. A thill swept her gill after rain. False on pulse, an emotion like fire and snow in one turgid and chilled her. She clenched her eye with a wild longing that the wind might last forever; that that moment, like the cacayt of an opium dream, might draw itself out to tautile length. Slowly she felt the breath of the remotest oob about them, then suddenly her oob lifted from her foot, and her oob opened into Dumna's. Her check lay against her breast, as it had done in its short moment in the company'gained, the could feel her heart bound under the rough tread. 0 --- Around the house, she sat on the couch, staring at the fireplace. She was so tired she had no idea what to do until she came out and looked around. "Do you rent?" she said. "What we have here grounded the most important part of how we by coming here together? We are bound to understand." "Now that I collect, that applies only to lovers," he answered. "Then we—" "Are quite safe," she quickly finished for him. "Obese. I want to see the stairs. We must find a candle." He peered into the glowy depths. "I think I see some burning." he said. "We will explore." A little was inside they came to a small well, with a dipper and a rock of thin blue and white towels to clean the hands of worshipers. On a square pedestal stood a stove Buddha, curiously incrusted by drippings from the roof. Near it was a wooden booth, its front bung with pendants of twisted rice straw and strips of white paper folded in diagonal notches. It held a number of thy wooden toil strung with lighted candles, each of which was malted a paper prayer. A few copper coins they scattered beneath them. Dunt threw two of the candies into wooden holders, and they slowly followed the narrowing feature, guttered by the feet of centuries, between square posts bearing carven texts and small images coated with the sperm droppings from immortalable candles. She held up her winking light toward his face. "What a desperate absorption" she said laughingly. "You haven't said a thing for five minutes." "I'm thinking we had better explain at once to Boston that we not lovers. Otherwise we may get the penalty. Perhaps we'd better just tell her what we were going to do it go at that. What do you think?" "That might be the simplest." "All right, then. I'll say Ben-ten-dear, she wanted to come alone; she really did. We didn't intrud it at all. Be a nice, gracious goddess and don't make her quarrel with me!" "What do you suppose she will answer?" "She will say, Young man, in the same circumstances I should have done exactly the same myself." The passage had grown so low that they had to bend their heads, then all at once, it widened into a concave chamber. The canonning of the wind rumbled fainter and falter. He took her hand and drew her forward. "There is Ben-ten," he said. The Goddess of Love set in a barrel cleft of the rock, ennibled in a dull, gold silence. Beads of moisture aguaged her robe, glittering like brilliants through the money darkness. "Four deity?" said Barbara. "To have to live for ever in a sea cavern! It's a clammy idea, isn't it?" "That's-- He paused. "I could make a terrible pun, but I won't." "One shouldn't joke about love," she said. "Have you discovered that soot?" She gazed at him strangely without answering. In the wan light his face looked pale. Her unresisting fingers still lay in his; he felt their touch like a breath of fire through all his veins. Her eyes sparkled back the cory witch glow of the handle flames. "You are a green goddess gmoeine he, he said unsteadily. "And I am under a spell." "Ye, yes." she said. "I am Rumpyduger's daughter. I have only to wave my candlestick so to turn you into a jastagite." She suited the action to the word and dropped her candle, which was extinguished on the damp floor. Bending forward to retrieve it, Daunt slipped. The arm he instinctively throw out to save himself struck the wall and his own candle flew from its socket. As he reminded his footing, confused by the bleak, in- folding darkness, he stumbled against Barbera, and his face brushed bern. in another instant the touch had thrilled into a kiss. WILL JONES A moment she lay in his arms, passive, pacing, her unkissed mouth singing with the burn of his tip a. The world was a dense blackness, abot with fire and full of pealing bells, and the beating of her heart was a great wave of sound that throbbed like the iron abod fury of the mea. "I love you, Barber," he said simply—"I love you." The stammering utterance pleased the swift, confused sweetness of that first kiss like a lance of desperate gladness. Through the tumbling passion of the words he poured into her heart she could feel his hands teaching her face, her throat, her touched hair. "Barber! Listen, dear! I must say it! It's stronger than this I am—no, don't push me away! Love me! You must love me!" With her arms on his breast she had made a movement to release herself. "We are mad, I think!" she breathed. "Then may we never be mad!" "I—you have known me only two days! What—" "Ah, not! I've known you all these years and have been loving you without really knowing it. I made a woman out of my own fancy that I dreamed alive. In the long winter evenings when I worked at my mods in the little house in Kyrona I used to see her face fill my driftwood blank and to tell her. I cried her my Lady of the Many Divined Princess. I never thought she really understood, but that first night in the ordinary garden I knew that my dream woman two-years-past. Borrowed." Her hands puffed into her breast and again. They fell to something on the breast. "In the dream, maybe already she opened her breast that they be four years old by her own. But now eight years old by her own." She danced through the room. "I-cannot. You-you would hold me cheap. I would be—I am. What? You, it was a tall tree. I was a great brown. Oh, you couldn't help—why, you'd forget the whole thing. You had you had! Don't hold me. No, I don't care what you think! Yes, I can care! Yes, I—I. This is perfectly admirable! Dark? That match it all the worse. What will you—No, be! You must not kiss me again! We must go back. I will go back." She freed, hermit, and he fumbled, for his fallen candle. He wrested a match. The spattering blue dame like her white, languorous face, her fallen hair, her bearing breast. It woutout. He struck another, and the wick blasted up. "Look at me, dear," he said. "Tell me in the light. Will you marry me?" "I cannot answer—now." "Why? Don't you love me?" "I—in so short a time how could I? Let us go now. I don't know myself—nor—nor you." She was trembling, and he noted it with a song of compulsion. "Tomorrow, sweetheart-will you give me my answer then?" "Yes." It was almost inaudible. "At the foreign minister's ball tomorrow night! I'll come to you there, dearest. I—" He stopped. She had caught her hand to her throat with a wild gesture. "Benten! She—she is frowning at us! Therel Look there!" "My poor darling! he said. 'You are perverse. She—it was only the shadow! I ought not to have brought you into this dimal hood. You are positively shrewd.' "Let us hurry," she said, and they went quickly into the warmer air and light of the entrance. The squall had passed with the fateful swiftness of its coming. The waves still gurgled and trembled, but the fury of the wind was over. The quark light had fitted, showing the wet sky a patchy drab, which again was beginning to show glimpses of golden hue. They walked back to Hari at the tea house beneath the wild, pegman beauty of disheveled cryptomeria, echoing once more the eternal song of the wind—along path strewn with drenched petals and sweet with the moist grains of sodden leaves—then together down the steep pumplin hill and across the planked, walk to the mainland, where a trolley bounced through the springing richelieu, musical new with the mei kayal—mei kayal of the frog. Dautt accompanied them to the through line of the railway. From there he was to return to Kamakura for the answer to his letter. The one was setting when the Tokyo express pulled into the station. As Hari disappeared into the compartment Dautt took Barbera's hand to help her to the platform. There had been no other first class passengers to embark, and the forward, and of the aphalt was deserved. Her bold flushed face was turned toward him, and there in the deck of the station he bent swiftly and kissed her once more on the lion. "Dearest, dearest" he said behind his teeth and turned quickly away. In the car as the train fed through the glory of the sunset Barbara closed her eyes, the longer, to keep the light out, and the shorter, the muscular, point of the strong frame, the parted lips, the brown hair curling under the neck of the cloth can. Her thought drifted into tomorrow when she was to give him her answer. Ah, she knew what that answer would be. She thought of the telegram of the night before, which she had read in the candelighted street Tomorrow Warre also was coming for an answer. She knew what that would be ten. She felt a sudden pity for him. Yet she knew now what windows she had gained in those two swift days—that his was not the love that most deserved it. Dearn's parting kiss clung to her lips like a living power. The hand he had clasped still burned to his touch; she lifted it and held it against her hot face, while the darkening carriage seemed to fill with the deank smell of nasty wind and sea weed mingled with his voice: "Barbarn, I love you! Dearest, dearest!" She thought the guitare ungrounded by any one. But in the forward car, beyond the glass vestibule door, which to her was only a trembling mirror, a man sat watching with burning eyes. He had been going through the window when the train stopped, had rised to his foot with instant recognition—to clutch back into his seat, his fingers clamped, his hickey tip indrawn and a palor on his fore. It was Austen Ware, and he had seen that man.
