Richmond Planet

PLANET One of the most notable meetings in connection with the Anniversary was the platform meeting held last Sunday afternoon. At the meeting prominent men in all walks of life extolled the sturdy qualities of Dr. Huyes and praised the splendid qualities of Mrs. Huyes, who since coming to the Metropolis has won the hearts of the women parishoners of the church and of the city. Promptly at four o'clock Dr. Hayes called the meeting to order and presented Rev. Dr. W. M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church who presided. Rev. W. W. Patton, pastor of the Baptist Church in Covington, Va. read the scripture and prayer was offered by Rev. Bailey of Plainfield. A feature of the meeting was the special solo singing of Mrs. Lulu Robinson Jones, Urich Sumpter Richards, the noted baritone and the singing of the Arturus Quartette and the Walker Female Quartette. Dr. Moss who is an old friend of Dr. Hayes and who remember each other in their student days at Virginia Union University, in praising Dr. Hayes said, "I have traced the history of this church to the present day. I rejoice in this tribute and in the decoration of this church to honor this man of God. He is a student clean in thought, full of the gospel, a gentleman and yet as stern as a lion when occasion permits. Rev. H. Powell of the Bethany Baptist Church was the first speaker. In the course of his address he said, "I congratulate this church on its splendid choice in the selection of its pastor. Dr. Hayes." Rev. Dr. W. R. Lawton, pastor of the St. James Presbyterian Church in a happy address said, "I come beyond the limit of denomination to tell you of the impression that Dr. Hayes has made upon the members of St. James. He is deep in the heart of the members of St. James." Continuing, Dr. Lawton, said, "New York, needs a peculiar type of ministry." A minister who is neither too narrow nor broad. Rev. M. B. Hulcens, pastor of the Baptist Temple spoke next. He was followed by an address by James H. Anderson the managing editor of the Amsterdam News. Mr. Anderson said in part, "I feel very near Mr. Olivet Baptist Church, because it was the first church I put my foot in when I came to New York 20 years ago. The pulpit and the press should be coworkers," said Mr. Anderson. E. A. Johnson the well known lawyer and historian was the next speaker and said, "A congregation shows its strength by the selection of its pastor. And the mere fact that you have selected Dr. Hayes as your pastor shows that you are awake." Rev Dr. Walker, pronounced one of the greatest living preachers was the next speaker. Dr. Walker in praising Dr. Hayes, said, "I was struck with the first impression Dr. Hayes made upon me. He was meek unassuming and unostentious." The last speaker was Fred. R. Moore, editor of the New York Age. Mr. Moore called Dr. Hayes a 20th century Negro and praised him for bringing about harmony in the church. The anniversary exercises formally ended last Sunday evening. The aniversary sermon of the church was preached by Dr. Hayes. It was a notable sermon, full of historic interest and was a complete review of the history of the church. Dr. Hayes told of the early struggles of the church, named some of the early pastors and told how the church to day stood a united body. At the conclusion of the service, representatives from the Deacon Board and Trustees presented Dr. Hayes with a purse as a token of their respect and esteem.

There they found Mrs. Fenderson expecting us. We spent a pleasant stay at this residence as everything was made so pleasant for us. We found that Mr Fenderson had worked very hard in getting up this club and holding it together and deserves great credit, owing to the failure of several others who have undertaken this work and failed. The future of this Lodge is among the brightest in the State, as it is composed of old citizens, many of whom are large property owners, and those who have run business there for a long time and others who have prominent jobs who have held them for many years. The club expressed itself as being glad of such men as Rev. Emory L. Wright, Prof. J. H. Byers and John Martin. As they are men of standing and are leaders in this section. The following are the Grand Officers that officiated: D. C. Johnson, G. C.; W. I. Roseboro, G. V. C.; R. K. Anderson, G. P.; Dr. I. L. Burroll, G. M. of W.; Pink Patterson, G.

Burrell, who explained the good of the Order and the graded policy, many were influenced to take The Richmond PLANET which not only speaks for the Knights of Pythias alone, but writful pages for the interest of the race. The following is the list of those who subscribed for the PLANET, after Rev. Emory L. Wright was appointed collector and agent: Samuel Dykes, Claude McDonald W. J. Looney, George Kane, H.

This table was supplied with all the luxuries of the early market. Sixty or more were served with these re- freshments and that many more were needed to consume the supply that was prepared. The remarks from some of the very best white citizens were very encouraging to the newly made candidates. D. C. Johnson and Dr. I. D. Burrell were, accompanied to the station at Big Stone Gap, Va. by W. G. Fenderson and several others Dr. I. D. Burrell returned home by way of Bristol on account of pre- vious business engagements.

The constitutionality of the Vonderlehr segregation or finance will be attested in the Hustings Court by Attorney William L. Royall, counsel for five new who were convicted by Justice J. Crittenden in Police Court the morning of violating the ordinance and lined each $100 and vest. Mr. Royall appealed the cases, declaring that he intended to carry them to the highest court in the State in the event of an adverse decision in the Hustings Court. Article XIV, section 1, of the Constitution of the United States constitutes the ground upon which Mr. Royall will face his fight. The segregation ordinance is plain, and few, if any, could be found this morning who did not believe that the upper court would sustain the decision of Justice Crittenden. On the other hand, Mr. Royall contends that the Vonderlehr ordinance is unconstitutional, and he declares that he expects to prove it. A similar light was waged in Baltimore a segregation ordinance and, when the case was carried to a higher court, the law was held to be defective. A second ordinance was then drafted, and this has "passed murder." According to Major Louis Werner Chief of Police of Richmond, the Vonderlehr ordinance is not dissimilar to the second Monumental City law. Those convicted and fined this morning are Robert Smith, William Ross, Robert Nelson, Nathaniel Turner and Annie Anderson. The section of the city involved is In Ashland Street, between Randolph and Lumbard Street. Mounted Policeman W. L. Krog appears in the cases as complaintant. The officer alleges that the accused took up their residence in a street where white residents predominated. W. L. Waring is the owner of the affected houses. Justice Crutchfield stated, in inflicting punishment, that the testimony clearly indicated a violation of the ordinance, as, in the locality described, there are twenty five white families and eight colored families. Mr. Waring acted as safety for the convicted people. Appeals have before been taken from Police Court in these cases and without exception, the decision of the lower court has been upheld. Mr. Rosail declared to the court that the owners of property in the territory affected had agreed to discontinue renting houses to white people and to make the locality a colored settlement. Assistant City Attorney Anderson appeared for the prosecution. He declared that evidence tended to the promotion of peace and happiness of both races. Article XIV, section 1, upon which Mr. Royal lays his contention that the Volunteer ordinance is upon stipulative follows. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." An important feature of the Richmond ordinance is that it prevents white people renting in a "colored" block. The law works both ways in the matter of the races. —Richmond, Va.

Itoked him so that revenge must wait. "Now, said I, 'I have something to add to the record.' I hoped that a part of my story could be held forever, except for Miss Grace and me alone. I have not been blindless. For that reason I was willing freely—not through force—to do what I could in the way of punishment to myself and salvation for her. But now as this thing comes up I can no longer shield her or my self, or any of you. We'll have to go to the bottom now." I flung out on the table the roll which I had brought with me to show that morning to Grace Sheraton—the ragged bible, holding writings placed there by my hand and that of another. "This," I said, "must be shown to you all. Colonel Sheraton, I have been very gravely at fault. I was alone for some months in the wilderness with another woman. I loved her very much. I forget your daughter at that time because I found I loved her loss. Through force of circumstances I lived with this other woman very closely for some months. We forewarn no immediate release. I loved her, and she loved me—the only time I knew what love really meant. I admit it. We made this contract of marriage between us. It was never enforced. We never were married because that contract was never signed by us both. Here it is. Examine it." It lay there before us. I saw the words again stare up at me. I saw again the old pictures of the great mountains and the cloudless sky and the cities, of peace wavering on the far horizon. I gazed once more upon that different and more happy world when I saw, blurring before my eyes the words, "I, John Cowley—I, Ellen Moriwether, take these—take these for better, for worse—till death do part."

My God girl, she stitched not marry you though she did! "Tis." He put out to hand toward the lid's roll. "No," I said to him. "This is mine. The record of my fault belongs to me. The question for you is only in regard to the punishment." "We are four men here." I added presently, hand it seems to me that first of all we have protection to the woman who needs it. My mother, I repeat, that though her error is real, it was perhaps pride or sorrow of anger with the woman her to own fault. It was Gordon crime who told her that I may fide to her and added her to that me and this other woman. It was also crime. God Silber said of Gordon she found that she was still at me and when I was she, And she there was a light a light. I agreed with your desire that it was with evil spirit that some savior had left to a window." I whispered to my mother such a grievance to that old man first. He was a woman and he when he put his hand to the window would be alive energy. I gave "What you year of have the I knowed that you have the serval nothit to you I have I have Mortweaken yet and we will. So if I grant your daughter you may be to be a her warden the day." "Owen Shearer said Dr Baldwin it seems to the fact we have no other red room in the house. We want to work at what we done now more and for what has not now been done. Mr. Shearer has plenty every day of we could ask we could not not meet any man you have a right to meet him. He whiles great to think of, I think, of what he has to give your girl's help." He admits his own fault. He looked at me, saying, "I must but want on." I claim in other professions of my own matrimony. I do in the two sometimes again in the gay, the other. I want to an education of my life. I may be close to a university education was done me. Now I say to you, from my reading in the law, a strong and tenacious whisper, the two who write thisovenant of marriage one of this moment and wife. There is a definite, mutual promise of consideration moving from each side the same consideration to each side the promise from each side the same interest and value having the same qualifying clause. The contract is definite it is dated. It is evidently the record of a mutual motion intent, an identical frame of relation between the two making it at that time. It is signed and sealed in the first party, no doubt in his own hand. It is written and acknowledged by the other party in his own hand. "But not signed." I broke in. "Now it is not signed. She said she would sign it one letter each week week and week, until at last this, which was our own engagement, should with the last letter make our marriage Gentlemen," I said to them. "It was an honest contract. It was all the formality we could have, all the money we could have. It was all that we could do. I should before you promise to two women. Before God I was promised to give I loved her I could do no more." "It was enough," said Dr. Bond dryly, taking up "it" "It was a wedding." "Impossible!" described Colonel Shera atas. "Not in the least," said the doctor. "It can be invalid only upon one ground. It might be urged that the marriage was not consummated. It in the courts that would be a matter of proof. Whatever our young friend here might say a court would say that consummation was very probable. I say as this stands the contract is a definite one, agreeing to do it definition—namely, to enter into the state of marriage. The question of the uncompleted signature does not invail date it nor indeed come into the matter at all. It is only a question whether the signature, so far as it goes, means the identity of the Ellen Meriwether who wrote the clause preceding it. "Gentlemen," he went on, taking a turn, hands behind back, his big red kerchief hanging from his coat tails. "I take Mr. Cowles" word as to not before and after this contract. I think he has shown to us that he is a gentleman. In that world, very different from this world, he acted like a gentleman. In that life he was for the time freed of the covenant of society. Now in this life, thrown again under the laws of society, he again shows to us that he is a gentleman here as much as there. We cannot reason from that world to this. I any-yes, I hope I am big enough man to say-that we cannot blame him; arguing from the world to this. We can exact of a man that he shall be a gentleman, in either one of those worlds, but we cannot exact of him to be the same gentleman. --- "Now the question comes to which of these worlds belongs John Cowley. The court will say that this bit of hide is a wedding ceremony. Gentlemen, he amused grudely. "we need all the professions here today—medicine, ministry and law. At least, Colonel Sheraton. I think we need legal counsel before we go on with any more weddings for this young man here." "But there is no record of this," I said. "There is no execution in duplicate." "No," said the doctor. "It is only a question of which you elect. I looked at him, and he added: 'It is also only a question of morals. If this record should be destroyed you would leave the other party with no proof on her side of the case." "It is customary, he said as he turned to me, 'give the wife the wedding certificate.' The law, the ministry and the profession of medical units in their estimate of the relative value of marital faithfulness as between the seers. It is the woman who uses the proof. The woman is the apple of nature's eye and even the law knows that." I arrived to the mantel and took up the book lay there. I returned to the table with a long stroke. I ripped the table in two. I throw the two pieces into the grave. "That is my proof," said I. "that I lien Mrs. better needs no marriage certificate." I拿 the certificate for that and for her. Colonel Sopotan staggered to meet his hand trembling, outstretched. "You are free to marry my poor girl," he began. "It is proof already." I went on, "the I shall never see Elen Merkwoether again, my more than I shall see Grace Sheraton again after I have married her. What happens after that is my business. It is my business, Grace Sheraton and yours, possibly over your sons I am at Harry and Grace Sheraton. I claim him first. If I did not kill them, you are you but Harry is alive and you are here. "There is nothing I all agreed?" I called. I took back on the pasture and asked my back to it again. His throat was hard sought minute. Cheeked, strong quarrel is discharged and is then so. Harry shakes hands with Mr Cowles. And now, now, now quarrel runs to Gorda in Grange. Tomorrow we start for Gorda in Grange, where we had his last address. Mr Cowles, my heart bleed! It bleeds, sir, for you. But for his also, for his up there. The court shall free you old boy and quietly so soon as it be done. It is you who have freed us all. You have been tried hard. You have proved your a man." The door is the first burst open, a blink a mould, thunder breaks into the room. "She's a certain there Miss Grace just a certain there she began and choked hard trembled." "What is it?" asked Dr Bond shortly and spry at the door. I heard him go up the stairs lightly as though he were a boy. We all followed. I say that we men of Virginia were glowy to suspect a woman. I hope we are still slower to presuppose one. Not one of us ever asked Dr. Houdon again for fearing lost we might learn what perhaps he know. He stood beyond her now, head bowed, his hand feeling for the pulse that was a longer there. The solubility of her face we longer than speech. It seemed to me that I heard his silent demand that we should all hold our arms forever. Grace Sheraton, her life just part in a little crooked smile, such as she might have worn when she was a child, set at a low dressing table, standing directly into the wide mirror what owing before her at its back. He left her lay at length along the table. Her right, with its hand under her cheek and elbow, supported her head which leaned but slightly to one side. She gazed into her own face, into her own heart, into the mystery of human life and its double worlds. I doubt not. She could not tell us what she had learned. Her father stepped to her side opposite the old doctor. I heard sobs as they placed her upon her little white bed, still with that little crooked amd upon her face, as though she were young very young again. I went to the window, and Harry, I think, was behind me. Before me lay the long reaches of our valley shimmering in the midday autumn sun. It seemed a scene of peace and not of tragedy. But even as I looked there came rolling up our valley slowly, almost as though visible, the low deep boom of the signal gun from the village below. It carried news, the news from America. I saw Colonel Sheraton half look up as he stood bent over the bed. Thus stunned by horror as we were, we waited. It was a long time, an interminable time, moments, minutes, it seemed to me, until there must have been thriving time for the repetition of the signal, if there was to be one. There was no second sound. The signal was alone, single, onions. "Thank God! Thank God!" cried Colonel Sheraton, swinging his hands aloft, tears rolling down his old gray cheeks "It is war! Now we may find forgetfulness!" O it was war. We drew apart into hostile camps. By mid winter South Carolina, Miss. alpin, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Texas, had withdrawn from the Union. There arose two capitals, each claiming a government, each planning war—Washington and Richmond. As for me, I had seen the flag on our far frontiers in wide, free lands. It was a time when each must choose for himself. I knew with whom my own lot must be cast. I pledged myself to follow the flag of the frontier, wherever it might go. When the gun of Sumter, came on that day of April I was ready with a company of volunteers who had known some months of drill at leas and who had been good enough to eleve me for their captain. Most of my me came from the mountains of western Virginia. I heard remotely that Colonel Meriwether would not join the Confederacy. Both the Sheratons, the old colonel and his son Harry were, of course, for the south, and early in January they both left home for Richmond. On the other hand, again, our friend Captain Stevenson stood for the Federal government, and so I heard also indirectly, did young Belknap of the Ninth dragons, regulars, a gallant boy who swiftly reached distinction and died a gallant man's death at Sloh later on. My mother, all for peace, wept when she saw me in uniform and belt, "See," she said, "we freed our slaves long ago. We thought as the north thinks This war is not for the Society of Friends." But she saw my father's blood in me again and sighed, "Then," she said. All over the country north and south, came the same sigh of consent of the women, "Go, then." And so we went out to kill each other who we should all have been brother: None of us would listen. The grinder formed, facing each other on Virginia soil. Soon in our triumphed fields and broken heds and tinned crops, in our decorated hearts and hearts, we bethers. And a learned the significance of war. My mother, most of them young followers used to love and arms, were brigaded Pierre "Go, then," the said, as infantry with one of the four divisors of McLachlan's men, who can verge along different lines toward Fairfax. It was not until the 20th of July that our leaders determined upon a flanking movement to our right which was to cross Bull Run at the Sudley food. Even so, we dailed along until every one knew our plans. Back of us the battle opened on the following day, a regiment at a time, with no convert, no plan. My men were with this right wing, which made the turning movement, but four belgades in all. Four other brigades, those of Howard, Burnside, Keyes and Schenck, were lost somewhere to the rear of us. Finally we crossed and reached the left flank of the confederates under Beauregard, and swung south along Bull Run. Our attack was scattering and ill planned, but by 3 o'clock of the next day we were in the thickest of the fighting around the slopes which led up to the Henry house back of which lay the Confederate headquarters. I saw the batteries of Rickett and Griffin of our regular advance and take this height against the steadily thickening line of the Confederates who had now had full time to concentrate. There came a hot cavalry charge upon the zonate regiment on my left, and I saw the zonaves lie down in the woods and melt the line of that charge with their fire and save the battery for a time. Then in turn I saw that blinder by which the battery commander allowed Commissive men—the Thirty-third Virginia. I think it was—deliberately to march within stone's throw of them, mistaken for Federal troops. I saw them pour a volley at short range into the guns, which wiped out their handlers and let through the charging lines now converging rapidly upon us. Then, though it was but my first battle, I knew that our movement must fall, that our extended line, lying upon nothing, supported by nothing, must roll back in retreat along a trough road, where the horses and guns would mow us down. Stuart's men came on, riding through us as we broke. Wheats Louisiana Tigers came through our remnants as well. They were practically over us and gone when as I rode to the right flank of the remaining splinter of my little company I saw riding down upon us a splendid soldier, almost alone and apparently endeavoring to reach his command after some delay at the rear. He was mounted on a fine horse, a great black animal. His tall figure was clad in the gray uniform of the Confederate, with a black hat sweeping back from his forehead. I saw him half rise once, twice, four times, standing in the stumps to enforce his saber cuts, each one of which dropped a man. He and his horse moved together, a untendid engine of ruthless "Look out, Caju!" I heard a squeakie voke behind me call and, looking down, I saw one of my men, his left arm hanging loose, resting his gun across a log with his right. "Git out of the way," he repeated. "I'm going to kill him." It was that new made warrior, Andrew Jackson McGovern, who had drifted back into our valley from some place, and joined my company soon after our organization. I ordered the boy now to drop his gun. "Leave him alone." I cried. "He belongs to me." It was Gordon Orme. "At last fate had relented for me. My enemy was at hand. No man but Orme could thus ride my old horse, Satan. This is to be said of Gordon Orme, that he feared no man or thing on earth. He smiled at me now, showing his long, narrow teeth, as he came lightly twirling his long blade. Two platos lay in my holsters, and both were freshly loaded, but without thought I had drawn my sword for a weapon. I suppose because he was using his. He was a master of the sword. I but a beginner with it. We rode straight in, and I heard the whistle of his blade as he circled it about his head like a band of light. As we joined he made cut to the left, easily, gently, as he leaned forward, but it came with such swiftness that had it banded I doubt not my neck would have been shorn like a robin's. We wheeled and came on again and yet again, and each time he put me on defense, and each time I learned more of what was before me to do. My old servant, Satan, was now his servant, and the great black horse was savage against me as was his rider. Wishing nothing so much as to kill his own rival, he came each time with his ears back and his mouth open, wicked in the old blood hag that I knew. It was the fury of his horse that saved me, I suppose, for as that mad beast landed in, stripping to overthrow my own horse, the Sitter J. M. B. My Blade Met His With a Shock. would touch away in spite of all I could do, so that I needed to give him small attention when we met in these short, desperate charges. I escaped with nothing more than a tap across the shoulder, a touch on the check, on the arm, where his hand reached me tightly as my horse sweared away from the onestairs. I could not reach crime at all. At last, I know not how, we chucked front on, and his horse bore mine back, with a scream fastening his teeth in the crest of my mount, as a dog sebs his prey. I saw Orme's sword turn lightly, easily again around his head, saw his wrist turn gently smoothly down and extend in a cut which was aimed to catch me full across the head. There was no porry I could think but the full counter in kind. My blade met his with a shock that jarred my arm to the shoulder. I saw him give back, pull off his mad horse and look at his hand, where his own sword was broken off a foot above the hilt. Smiling, he saluted with it, reigning back his horse and no more afraid of me than if I were a child. He saluted again with his broken sword and made as though to toss it from him, as indeed he did. Then like a flash his hand dropped to his holder. I read his thought. I presume, when he made his second salute. His motion of tossing away the sword he gave me the fraction of time which sometimes is the difference between life and death. Our fire was almost at the same instap, but not quite. His bullet cut the quaint clean from my left shoulder, but he did not fire again, nor did I. I saw him straighten up in his saddle, precisely as I had once seen an Indian chieftain do under Ormso's own fire. He looked at me with a startled expression on his face. At that moment there came from the edge of the woods the crack of a musket. The great horse Satan pitched his head forward and dropped limp sinking to his knees. As he ralled he caught his rider under him. I myself sprung down, shouting out some command toward the edge of the wood, that they should leave this man to me. I stooped and caught hold of the hind leg of the great black horse, and even as I had once turned a dead bull so now I turned this carcass on its back. I picked up the fallen rider and carried him to the woods, and there I propped his body against a tree. "Thank you, old man," he said, "the horse was dreaded heavy--spoiled that leg. I think." He pointed to his host. "I suffer badly. Be a good fellow and end it." I answered him by tossing down one of his own pistols. "Let's talk it over a bit first," he said. "I'm done. Did you ever know me to break people?" "No," said I, and I threw down the other weapon on the ground. "It mercy to us both. Orme, die. I do not want to kill you now, and you shall not live." "I'm safe enough," he said. "It's through the liver and stomach. I can't possibly get over it." He stared straight ahead of him as though summoning his will. "Swaddle! I heard him mutter, as though addressing some one. "There, that's better," he said finally. He sat almost erect, smiling at me. "It is Asana, the art of posture." He said. "I rest my body on my ribs, my soul on the air. Feel my heart." I did so and drew away my hand almost in terror. It stopped beating at his will and began again! His uncapy art was still under his control! "I shall be master here for a little while." he said. "So—I move those hurt organs to ease the flow. But I can't stop the holes nor mend them. We can't get at the tissues to sew them fast. After awhile I shall die." He spoke clearly, with utter calmness, dispositionately. I looked down at a strange, fascinating soul, a fearsome personality, whose like I never knew in all my life. "Will you make me a promise?" he said, smiling at me, mocking at me. "No." I answered. "I was going to ask you after my death to take my heart and send it back to my people at Orine castle, Gordon Arms, in England—you know where. It would be a kindness to the family." I gazed at him in a sort of horror, but he smiled and went on. "We're medieval today as ever we were. Some of us are always making trouble, one corner or the other of the world, and until the last Gordon heart comes home to rest there's no peace for that generation. Hundreds of years they've traveled all over the world and been lost and stolen and hidden. My father's is lost now somewhere. Had it come back home to rest my life might have been different. I say, 'Gwies, couldn't you do that for me?' It is not for me to say whether or not I make a promise to Gordon Orme or to say whether or not things medieval or occult belong with us today. Neither do I expect many to believe the strange truth about Gordon Orme I only say it is hard to deny they about to die. "Orme," I said. "I wish you had laid out your life differently. You are a wonderful man." "The most games," he smiled. "sport, love war." Then his face said. "I say, have you kept your other promise to me?" he asked. "Did you worry that girl what was her name, Miss Susan?" "Miss Susan is dead." "Married?" he asked. "No. She died within two months after the night I caught you in the yard. I should have killed you then. Orgue." He nodded. "Yes, but at least I showed some sort of rumors—the first time, I think. Not a bad sort, that girl, but mostly jealous. Fighting blood, I imagine, in that family." "Yes," I said. "her father and brother and I, all three, swore the same oath." "The same spirit was in the girl," he said, redding again. "Ravenage that was what she wanted. That's why all happened. It was what I wanted too. You booked me with the only woman." "Do not speak her name," I said to him quietly. "The mails on your fingers are growing blue. Orme, go with some sort of squaring of your accounts." He shrugged a shoulder. "My Swain said we do not die—we only change worlds or forms. What! I, Gordon Orme, to be blasted out-to lose my mind and soul and body and some not to be able to enjoy. No, Cowie somewhere there are other worlds with women in them. I do not die I transfer." But sweat stood on his forehead. "You're not awfully decent sort. Give me a bit of paper. I want to write. I found him a pen and some pencils of my notebook. "To please you, I'll try to squash some things," he said. "You've been so deuced square and straight with me all along. I'm—I'm Gordon, now I'm English. Word of a fighting man—my-friend." He leaned forward, peering down at the paper as though he did not clear see, but he wrote slowly for a time absorbed in thought. In all the death scenes which on country knew in thousands during those years I doubt if any more unbelievable than this ever had occurred. I saw the blood soaking as his garments, lying black on the ground about him. I saw his face grow gray and his nails grow blue, his pallid deepen as the veins lost their contents I saw him die. But I swear that he still sat there, calm as though he did not suffer, and forced his body to do his will, at last smiling again as looked up. "Pingers getting dread fully stiff. Tongue will go next. Muscles still under the power for a little time. Here, take this. You're going to live, and this is the only thing. It'll make you insufferable, but happy too. Goodbye. I'll not stop longer." Like a flash his hand shot out to the weapon that lay near him on the ground. I shrank back, expecting the ball full in my face. Instead it pause through his own brain. At last I rubbed the blood from my own face and stooped to read what he had written. Then I thanked God that he was dead. These were the words: I. Gordon Orme, dying July 11, 1801, conceived that I killed John Cowles, Sir, in the month of April, 1801, at the road near Wallingford. I wanted the horse, but he to kill Cowles. Later took the money was a secret agent detailed for work at Amy men. I. Gordon Orme, having seduced Grassheraton, asked John Cowles to marry him to cover up that act. I. Gordon Orme, appoint John Coule my executor. I ask him to fulfill last request. I give him what property I have on my person for his own. Further I sait not, and, being long ago held as dead, make no bequests to as other property. GORDON ORME In Virginia, U. S. A. It was he, then, who had in cold blood killed my father! That horrid riddle at last was read. In that concession I saw only his intent to give no he has touch of mercy and pain. Then slowly I realised that what I held in my hand was the proof of his guilt, of my innocence. He had robbed me of my father. He had given me—what? At least he had given me a chance. Perhaps Ellen Meriwether would believe! By next morning I was far on my way toward the Potomac. Then I opened the wallet I had found on Orme's body. It held memoranda, writings in cipher and foreign characters, pieces of drawings, maps and the like, all of which I destroyed. It contained also in thin foreign notes a sum large beyond the belief of what an ordinary officer would carry into battle, and this money for the time I felt justified in retaining. Orme was no ordinary officer. He had his own ways and his own errand. His secret, however great it was—and at different times I have had reason to believe that men high in power on both sides knew how great it was and how important to be kept a secret—never became fully known. CHAPTER XXV. By autumn I was one of the youngest colonels in the Federal army. Thus it was easy for me to find a brief furlough when we passed near Leesburg on our way to the Blue Ridge Gap, and I then run down for a look at our valley. I found Dr. Bond in his little brick office at the top of the hill overlooking the village. It was he who first showed me the Richmond paper with lists of the Confederate dead. Colonel Sheraton's name was among the first I saw. He had been with Cumming's forces, closely opposed to my own position at Bull Run. His son Harry, practically at his side, was seriously, possibly fatally, wounded and was now in hospital at Richmond. I showed Dr. Bond the last writing of Gordon Orme and put before him the Bank of England notes that I had found on Orme's person, and which by the terms of his testament, I thought might perhaps belong to me. "Could I use any of this money with clean consents?" I asked. "Could a honorably be employed in the discharging of the debt Orme left on my family?" "A part of that debt you have not ready caused him to discharge," it old doctor answered slowly. "You would be doing a wrong if you did not oblige him to discharge the rest." I counted out and laid on the desk before him the amount of the food which my father's remandla shews had been taken from him by Orme that fatal night more than a year ago. The balance of the notes I tossed to the little grate, and with no more aid we burned them there. We concluded our conference in regard to my business matters. I hearded that the coal lands had been deemed fragile forclosure, Colonel Merlwether having advanced the necessary funds, and as this now left our desk running to him, I instructed Dr. Barr to take steps to cancel it immediately and to have the property partitioned as Colonel Merlwether should deter mine. "And now, Jack," said my wire hatted old friend "there's something you ought to see. I saved it for you on there the morning you threw it at the fireplace." He spanned out on the top of the desk a folded bit of hide. Family enough it was to me. "You saved but half," I said. "The other half is gone." He pursued a stake of snuff far his long nose. "Yes," he quietly "I sent it to her some three months ago." "What did she say?" "Nothing, you feel... What did you expect?" "Now, my son," he concluded savely, "if you over dreamed of marrying any other woman dash me if I wouldn't come into court and make this fieldmate witness for you both for her as well as you! Go on away now, and don't bother me any more." southern boys who in the past rode there with their negro servants and set at naught good Thomas Jefferson intent of simplify in the narrow lie of the chambers of the old University of Virginia now were gone with their horses and their servants. Today you may see their names in bronze on the tablets at the university doors. I had quartered my men about the quiet old place when I heard the voice of my sentry challenge and caught an answering word of indignation in a woman's voice. A low, single seated cart was halted near the curb, and one of its occupant was apparently much angered. I now her clutch the long brown rifle barrow which extended out at the rear over the top of the seat. "You git out'n the road, man," repeated she, "or I'll take a shot, at you for luck." We done come this fur, and I reckon we c'n go the rest the way." That could be no one but old Mandy McGovern. For the sake of amusement I should have left her to make her own argument with the guard had I not in the same glance caught sight of her companion, a trim figure in close fitting corduroy of golden brown, a wide hat of russet straw shading her face. It was Ellen! Her face went roay red as I hastened to the side of the cart and put down Mandy's arm. She stammered unable to speak more connectedly than I myself. Mandy could not forget her anger and insisted that she wanted to see the "boss." "I am the colonel in command right here, Aunt Mandy." I said. "Won't I do?" "To you kunnel!" we reported. "Looks to me like kunnels is mighty easy made if you'll do. No; we're after Giniral Mwerthever, who's come'n here to be the real boss of all you folks Bag, man, you taken away my man. SATURDAY.....JUNE 1, 1912 and my boy. Where they at? "With me here." I was glad to answer. "safe and somewhere not far away. The boy is wounded, but his arm is nearly well." "Ain't got 'nuff fightin' yit?" "No; both he and Auberry seem to be just beginning." "Humph: Reckon they're happy, then. If a man's gittin' three squares a day and plenty o' fightin', don't see what more he kln ask." "Corpural." I called to my sentry, who was now pacing back and forth before the door, hiding his mouth behind his hand, "put this woman under arrest and hold her until I return. She's looking for Privates Auberry and McGovern, G company. First Virginia volunteers. Keep her in my office while they're sent for. Bring me my bag from the table." It was really a pretty fight, that the tween Mandy and the corporal. The latter was obliged to call out the guard for aid. "Sick 'am, Pete!" cried Mandy when she found her arms pinched, and at once there darted out from under the cart a hairy little demon of a dog, mute, mongrelish, pink eared, which began silent have with the corporal's legs. I looked again at that dog. I was ready to take it in my arms and cry out that it was my friend. It was the little Indian dog that Ellen and I had camed. Why, then, had she kept it? Why had she brought it home with her? I doubt which way the contest would have gone had not Mandy seen me climb into her vacated seat and take up the reins. Pete then stolidly took up his place under the cart. We turned and drove back up the shady street, Ellen and I. I saw her fingers twisting together in her lap, but as yet she had not spoken. The flush on her cheek was deeper now. She bent her hands together softly, confused, half frightened, but she did not beg me to leave her. "If you could get away," she began at last, "I would ask you to drive me back home. Aunt Mandy and I are living there together. Kitty Stevenson's visiting me—you'll—you'll want to call on Kitty. My father has been in east Kentucky, but I understand he's ordered here this week. Major Stevenson is with him. We thought we might get word and so came out through the lines." "You had no right to do so. The pickets should have stopped you," I said. "At the same time, I am very glad they didn't." "So you are a colonel," she said after a time, with an army girl's nice reading of insignia. "Yes." I answered, "I am an officer. Now if I could only be a gentleman!" "Don't!" she whispered, "Don't talk in that way, please." "Do you think I could be?" "I think you have been," she whispered, all her face rosy now. Then she pointed to a fawnson house on a far off hill—such a house as can be found nowhere in America but in this very valley—an old family seat, lying reserved and full of dignity at a hilltop shielded with great onks. "That is our home," she said. "We have not often been here since grand father died, and then my mother. But this is the place that we Merlwether-all call home." As we approached the gate I heard behind us the sound of galloping horses. There came up the road a mounted of deer, with his personal escort, an orderly, several troopers and a grimming body servant. "Look, there he comes! It is my father!" explained Ellen. And in a moment she was out of the cart and running down the road to meet him, taking his hand, resting her check against his daily tilt, as he sat in saddle. The officer saluted him sharply. "You are outside the house" said he. "Have you leave?" I saluted also and caught the twinkle in his eye. "On detached service this morning, general," I said. "If you please, I shall report to you within the hour." shall report to you within the hour." He wheeled his horse and spurred on up along his own grounds, fit master for their stateliness. A wide seat lay beneath one of the oaks. We wandered thither, Ellen and I. The little dog, mute, watchful, kept close at her side. "Ellen," said I to her, "the time have come now. I am not going to wait any longer. Read this." I put further hand Gordon Orme's confession. "Yes, and in turn I killed him," she said slowly. Her eyes flashed. She was savage again as I had seen her. My soul leaped out to see her fierce relentless, caulting that I had fought and won, careless, that I had slain. "Orme did all he could to ruin me in every way," I added. "Read on. Then I saw her face change to pity as she came to the next clause. So now she knew the truth about Grace Sheraton and, I hoped, the truth about John Cowles. "Can you forgive me?" she said frightenly, her dark eyes swimming in tears as she turned toward me. "That is not the question," I answered slowly. "It is. Can you forsee me?" Her hand fell on my arm, trembling. "I have no doubt that I was much to blame for that poor girl's act," I continued. "The question only is, Has my punishment been enough or can it be enough? Do you forgive me? We all make mistakes. Am I Good enough for you. Ellen? Answer me. But she would not yet answer. So I went on. "I killed Gordon Orme myself in fair fight, but he wrote this of his own free will. He himself told me it would be proof. Is it proof?" She put the paper gently to one side of her on the long seat. "I do not need it," she said. "If it came to question of proof we have learned much of these matters, my father and I, since we last met you. But I have never needed it; not even that night we said goodbye. Ah, how I wanted you back after you had gone!" "And your father?" I asked her, my hand falling on hers. "He knows: as much as I. Lately he has heard from your friend, Dr. Bond. We have both learned a great many things. We are sorry. I am sorry. I have always been sorry." "But what more?" I asked. "Ellen!" She put out her hands in a sort of terror. "Don't," she said. "I have put all this away for so long that now—I can't begin again. I can't! I can't! I am afraid. Do not ask me. Do not No, no!" She started from the seat as though she would have fled in a swift panic. But now I caught her. "Stop!" I exclaimed, rage in all my heart. "I've been a fool long enough and now I will have no more of foolishness. I will try no more to figure aliceties. I will not try to understand a woman. But, gentleman or not, I swear that if we were alone again, we two out there, you should do as I said, as I desired. And I say now you must, you shall." She snank back against the rail with a little sigh as of content, a little amble as of a child caught in mischief and barred from escape. Oh, though I lived a thousand years, never would I say I understood a woman! "Now we will end all this," I said, frowning. I caught her by the arm and led her to the gallery, where I picked up the bag I had left at the driveway. I myself rang at the door, not allowing her to lead me in. The orderly came. "My compliments to General Merl wether," I said, and Colonel Cowton would like to speak with him." He came, that tall man, master of the mansion, dusty with his travel, stern of face, maned like a gray boar of the hills. But he smiled and reached out his hand. "Come in, sir," he said. And now we entered. "It seems you have brought back my girl again. I hope my welcome will be warmer than it was at Laramele." He looked at us, from one to the other, the brown skin about his keen eyes wrinkling. "I have certain things to say, general," I began. We were walking into the ball. As soon as I might handed to him the confession of Gordon Orme. He read it with shut lips. "Part of this I know already," he said finally, "but not this as to your J. DANE ROSE 1811 "Until death do us part." Gather. You have my sympathy, and sir, my congratulations on your account for such a fond. There are least justice has been served." He hesitated before continuing. "As to some details, I regret that my daughter has been brought into such matters!" he said slowly. "I regret also that I have made many other matters worse, but I am very glad that they have now been made plain. Dr. Samuel Bond of Wallingford, your father's friend, has cleared up much of all this. I infer that he has advised you of the condition of our joint business matters? "Our estate is in your debt, general. I said, "but I can now adjust that. We shall pay your share. After that the lands shall be divided or held jointly, as yourself shall say." "Why could they not remain as they are?" He smiled at me. "Let me hope so." I flung open my big and spread upon the nearest table my half of the record of our covenant, done as it had seemed to me, long years ago. Colonel Merlweather and I hust over the half right parchment. I saw that Ellen had gone, but presently she came again hesitating, flushing red, and put but my hands the other half of our indicture. She carried Peter, the little dog under her arm. I placed the pieces edge to edge upon the table. The old familiar words looked up at me again solemnly. Again I felt my heart choke my throat as I read: "I, John Cowies—I, Ellen Merlweather—take thee—take thee—until death do us part." I handed her a pencil. She wrote slowly, frankly, having her malden will; and it seemed to me still a week to a letter she said. But at last her name stood in full—E-l-l-n Merrlweather. "General." I said, "this indenture wit- nesseth: We two are bound by it. We have consented together in holy wed- Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 N. 1st Street. Richmond, Va.

He dashed his hand across his eyes; then, with a swift motion, he placed our hands together. "My boy," said he. "I've always wanted my girl to be taken by an army man—an officer and a gentleman. Dash it, girl—I beg your pardon. Ellen—give me that pencil. I'll sign my own name. I'll witness this myself! There's a regimental chapel in our command—if we can't find a preacher left in Charlotteville." "Orderly!" I called, with a gesture asking permission of my superior. "Yes, orderly," he finished for me "get ready to ride to town. We have an errand there." He turned to us and motioned us as though to ownership, bowing with grave courtesy as he himself left the room. I heard the chatter of Mrs. Kitty greet him. I was conscious of a grinning black face peering in at a window—Annie, perhaps. They all loved Ellen. But Ellen and I, as though by instinct, stepped toward the open door, so that we might again see the mountain tops. I admit I kissed her! HIS SISTER HIS WIFE Three Children the Result of Unlawful Cohabitation For Ten Years. One of the most astounding cases in the history of the Hackenack, N. J., jail was recorded when Frank Mal, thirty-eight years old, of Little Ferry, was committed by Justice Rohl, charged with unlawful cohabitation with his sister, Barbina, twenty-eight years old. The couple have lived in this manner for ten years and have three children. They are Bohemians. The prisoner is a carpenter and commuted to and from New York every day. His sister is at present in a delicate condition. County Physician Armstrong said that the medical profession would no doubt be much interested in the mentality of the offsprings from such a source.

COAL CONTRACT SIGNED IN PHILA. WORKERS' ARMY- REJOICES Agreement, Assuring Peace For Four Years in Anthracite Regions, Subscribed in Quaker City. The new agreement between the anthracite operators and the anthracite mine owners was signed in Philadelphia. The agreement is the one approved by the mine workers in their convention at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, and assures peace in the hard coal fields for four years. The agreement was signed in the Reading Terminal, where the committee of ten union officials, headed by their national president, John P. White, met the operators' committee of ten, headed by George F. Baer, as chairman. The statement issued after the agreement had been signed is as follows: "The committee representing the anthracite mine workers and the anthracite operators met and adopted the report of the joint subcommittee negotiating an agreement governing the relations of employees and employers in the anthracite region." The statement revealed in full the terms of the agreement, which have already been published. "I am very glad this thing is settled and out of the way," said Mr. White. "I leave for Indianapolis now to take up business there." White was accompanied to the session by the principal officials of the union in the anthracite regions, including John T. Dempsey, president of district No. 1; John Fahy, president of district No. 9, and Thomas Kennedy, president of district No. 7. The contract, as here before, was not signed on an agreement with the United Mine Workers of America as an organization. P will be required by the office of representative to be in the anthology to be commonly, if not 1, 7 and 9. The 1790 workers, the same April 1, having lost $17,000 in wages, will return to the collieries. By the end of the week most of them are expected to be at work. Some of the mines may not be ready for them before next week. The forces of repair men and pump men, most of whom were not required to respond to the suspension call, were augmented by the return of many others, who will get the collieries into shape for the coming of the miners. Most of the mines are ready to be operated now. There is great repolling throughout the hard coal fields. White has become the new "idol" of the men, who by vote of a large majority of the delegates in the convention Saturday afternoon supported him and the other union officials who had to do with the agreement. He has been congratulated by thousands, including many of the operators. Merchants, who are said to have lost $16,000,000 in trade because of the prolonged suspension; the authorities, who had trouble with the lawless element a week ago; clergymen and the wives and families of the miners join in the jubilation that a serious industrial warfare has been averted. The operators also repose and are preparing to work, the colleries to the full capacity to fill long-held orders. THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED Cave-in Trape Them While at Work in Michigan Shaft. Thirteen men were killed in a cave in at the Norris' mine at ironwood, Mich. While wosking in a pit the ground started to crumble. Rushing into another drift which they believed would be safe, the men were buried. The drift in which the men lost their lives had just been retimbered. One of the hacks worked loose and the timbers gave way, releasing an avalanche of earth and ore. AGENTS FOR THE PLANET Jesse W. Shreaves. 182 Belmont Ave. HACKENSACK. N. J. D H. Hassoll, R. R.

Secretary Stimson Raps Rider to Appropriation Bill AIMED AT CHIEF OF STAFF Officers Charge That the Fight Between the Line and the Staff Is Responsible For Amendment. The army appropriation bill was reported back to the senate and house with anti administration amendment which would legislate Major Generals Wood out of office as chief of staff and would leave the location and distribution of military posts to a commission of retired army officers and two members each of the senate and house committee on military affairs. The amendment that would remove General Wood also would prevent either Brigadier Generals Crozier of Pinnston from ever attaining the office of chief of staff. No officer who has not spent ten years in the line with troops before becoming a brigadier would be eligible. Many army officers charge that the fight between the line and the staff which recently resulted in the retirement from the army of Major General Almworth is responsible for that provision. Secretary of War Stimson said the provision, supposedly aimed at General Wood, would have made ineligible for service as chief of staff every one except tour of the nineteen generals who have served as commander in chief of the American army since General Washington. "The clause which makes it necessary for a man to have served to years with the troops prior to his attaining the rank of brigadier general is the real cause of those doobarments." Mr. Stimson also calls attention to the fact that practically every member of the engineer corps of the army, all honor graduates of the military academy at West Point, would be barred because their services have in the main been away from troops. This applies particularly to Colonel Geothan now head of the Panama canal, and his assistants. Secretary Stimson said: "It would have disqualified General Winfield Scott of the old army. It would also have disqualified General Sheridan, McClellan; McPherson, Maude, Warren, Halsey, Behonfield, O. O. Howard, James H. Wilson and Horace Porter, among others of the Union army in the Civil War; and Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Beauregard Forrest, Joe Wheeler, of the Conederacy. "General Grant would have barely escaped its restriction by one year's service and General Sherman by two months. "In fact this rider tends to put a premium upon mere routine service and to execlide from the highest post in the army the men whose force, intelligence and opportunities have brought them quickly to the front. I would result in confining the choice for this principal staff position to men who have had the least staff experience." Operators Raise Coal Prices. A storm of protest from the retail and wholesale dealers in Philadelphia greeted the announcement by the operating companies that prepared sizes of coal would sell at an advance of 25 cents a ton, wholesale, at the mine. Wholesalers and retailers alike declare that the coal market is in dire confusion, and that so tight is the grip of the operators that there is absolutely no redress. Following the announcement of the increase by the operators, the Philadelphia Coal Exchange recommends the following prices to the retailer throughout the city, the majority of whom are members. Egg, $6.75; stove $7; nut, $7.25; and pea, $5.50 a ton. This is an increase of 25 cents a ton over the prices asked at this time last year, except in the case of pea coal in which the advance is 50 cents. The official announcement of the advances were made by circulars issued by the different companies. The Reading Coal and iron company announced an advance on prepared sizes of coal at tidewater, of 25 cents a ton, and on tidewater shipments of pean coal 25 cents. On line prices the advance 1. 25 cents a ton on stove coal, 15 cents on chestnut coal, and 50 cents on pean. No changes is made on steam or rice and buckwheat coal. Killed by Broken Bat. Hit over the head with a broken bat, Frederick H. Anim, eleven years old, of second street, Camden, N.J. was killed at a base ball game at Barrington, a few miles from Camden. The accident occurred during a game between Barrington and Linden wall. Young Anim was standing along the third base line when Walter Githena came to the hat. As Githena struck the ball the bat broke, steikin Anim. The boy was knocked unconscious, and by the time a physicist had arrived he was dead. The coroner examined the boy and decided the death was caused by a fracture of the skull. Buce Hospital to Restrain Groans.

The Kestners reside next door to the hospital, with the nurses' home and joining to the north. Jacob Nolde and Richard E. Melnig, wealthy manufacturers, who attended several social affairs held at the Kestner residence, testified that during the evening they heard terrible moaning and groaning from the hospital. The women in the party became nervous, they said. Because of the moaning the pleasure of the evening was spotted. Saves Man With Belt. Hanging to stone four feet from the top of a cliff 100 feet high, at Rattle snake Hill, near Pottatown, Pa., Alexander Kopecki, of Stowe, screamed loudly for aid. Kopecka was losing his hold and was about to be dashed to death at the bottom of the quarry hole when James Murran hurried to his aid. Murran removed his belt and passed it over one of Kopecka's wrists when he loosened his hold on the rock with that hand for an Instant.

RIGHT SATURDAY...JUNE 1, 191 ADMIRAL OSTERHAUS. In Command of Fleet Mobilizing at Key West. A U. S. CAN'T IMPOUND 950,000 BAGS COFFEE Government Loses First Move in Suit. The application made by the establishment in connection with the sanction, law or right and needles in harm, and the other members the law or coffee. Authorized consent in New York, for a pro- hensive purpose in establishing the fountains from packing with or disp- ting of in any way, we bag coffee now stored in the warehouses of the New York City company, we denied in an opinion written by Judd Lacobee, and concurred in by Judd Coxe, Noves and Warren, filed in federal district court Judge Lacobee. The temporary relief which it bill are for the accommodation on the time to the final hearing and decision which we practically appoint to coffee, that the contract cannot be provided in this country at the price cannot ship it abroad and if there should a satisfactory price be obtainable, and cannot even return it to the place from where it came. No provision is provided for making good to the owner any losses it might sustain in consequence of such impounding of the property, should the plaintiff fail to make good its contentions on final hearing, probably many months hope. "The numerous provisions of fact and law which have been referred to on the board's present important questions and contain two many elements of uncertainty in the described situation in advance of the trial. These with particular property shall be disposed of when the court's decision shall have closed the case to the court. The motion is prejudicial to the court." 103 DEAD IN TH.

Mrs. Ralph Carminaro went to the house of her brother, Mike Bernardo in Beechview, a suburb of Pittsburgh Pa., to take away her son, six year-old, who had been living with Fernando and his sister, Rosetta. They pleaded with her to leave the child with them, and when she was about to go with the child, Rosetta, according to the story told to the police by Mrs. Carminaro, picked up a revolver and shot herself in the head. As her body rolled on the floor, Fernando wrenched the weapon from her hand and fired three shots at Mrs. Carminaro, but without effect. She ran from the house, but hearing an other shot, returned to find her brother lying dead beside his sister.
