THE RICHMOND PLANET SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS CLAIM THEY SEE HINT OF FORCE BILL IN MESSAGE. Advices Come from the Administration Sources that the President Means to Indicate His Support of the Famous Bill, Championed by the Late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts in Earlier Days--A Word about Mobs VOLUME XLII, NO. 5 SOUTHERN CLAIM THE FORCE Advices Com- Sources tha Indicate Hi- Bill, Champ Henry Cab- in Earlier 1 (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—Southern Senators and Representatives are becoming more and more irate over the interpretation they read into President Coolidge's references to the Negro in his message to Congress. Hints have come from Administration sources that the President meant to indicate his support of the famous Force Bill that the late Senator Loge of Massachusetts championed in earlier days. It was this bill, calling for Federal supervision of the polls and potentially the use of Federal troops to see that the Negro was no, kept away from the ballot box in the South, that so in flamed many Southerners that they never forgave Lodge. Lodge's first big fight in Congress was made on this measure, which went down finally under the bitterest kind of assault. But whether Mr. Coolidge really intended to revive his issue or whether he desired to satisfy various Negro forces that killed him in the election are questions nobody is able to answer final. The President said: THE NEGRO. "These developments have brought about a very remarkable improvement in the condition of the Negro race, gradually, but surely, with the almost universal sympathy of those among whom they live, the colored people are working out their own destiny. I firmly believe that it is better for all concerned that they should be cheerfully accorded their full constitutional rights that they should be protected from all of those impositions to which, from their position, they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching, and that they should receive every encouragement to become full partakers in all the blessings of our common American citizenship." BASED ON LYNCHING PROTEST. It was this phrase that was taken to mean indemnement of the bill, by the Southerners, although the prevailing opinion is that Mr. Coolidge's purpose was political rather than a serious effort to sponsor such legislation. The storm of debate on this issue has raged through the halls of Congress for generations, with violent threats of a new secession and civil war if the South ever should be subjected to Federal regulation of the polls. Conversation now among the Southerners is in the same tenor. The most recent battle approaching the question was over the Lodge sponsor's Anti-Lynching Bill. Underwood (Democrat Alabama) led a filibuster against the measure, which was attacked on the ground of constitutionality and invasion of State rights. The real fead, however, was that it would be the forerunner of the Force Bill or allied legislation. NO LEGISLATION SUGGESTED. Mr. Coolidge's message was taken to indorse the Anti-Lynching Bill as well as the more drastic legislation. That, his purpose, however, was to appease the Negroes without really intending to act is could from the fact that no legislation is in view to realise the aspirations the president expressed. Also administration Senators admit no such legislation will be attempted seriously. None could possibly get into the hopper this session without blockading the supply bills. It may be tried later before the bifelections, but only as a political gesture. The point on which Southern Democratic hostility rises to its great est height is the charge that Mr. Cooldge played with the Ku Klux Klan all the way before election and harbored no such kindly sentiments for the Negro until election day had passed and it became politically safe to do so. A sensation was caused in this city Friday, 5th inst. by the raiding of a place on Jackson street, between Third and Fourth streets, known as "Lotte's Fiat" and three white females and six colored men were put under arrest. Two of the colored men are reported to have "stepped" from the second story window. One of them has not been seen since, but the other one was caught at the time it is stated that the affair really occurred early in the afternoon and that no improper conduct was taking place at the time. The parties were bullied. The cases were postponed until the 11th inst. All kinds of rumors were circulated concerning the affair. The Times-Dispatch of the 6th inst. published the following account of the affair: "WHITE WOMEN AND NEGROES ARRESTED "I charged with being disorderly, and being 'persons not of good fame' three white women and six Negro men were arrested last night in a house on East Jackson street in a raid conducted by Officers Mills, Butcher and Sanderson, of the Second Police Precinct. "The women, one of them a rather striking blonde, were all fairly well dressed. They gave their ages as 35, 32 and 27. "All twelve furnished bail last night for their appearance in Police Court at 9:30 o'clock this morning. "Officers at the Second Station said last night that no raid of recent years had revealed such a sordid condition of affairs. The raid was the result of information furnished by some person who saw the three white women enter what they knew to be a Negro's house." In Memoriam. In loving remembrance of our dear sister, Rosa Clark, who departed this life on year ago, December 9, 1923: How she lingered, racked with pain, That baffled skill and care; How she lingered, racked with pain And suffering hard to bear.

But few have seen me weep; I shed my tears with an aching heart Whie others are sound asleep. (Signed) LOIS JOHNSON LUCILLI HOLMES RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1924.

MRS. RHINELANDER BELIEVES HER HUBBY WANTS TO RETURN SAYS HE WOULD RETURN TO HER IF HE WAS NOT BEING HELD BY PARENTS. (Preston News service) NEW YORK CITY, December 12— Leonard Klp Rhinelander is being kept away from his bride, Alice Beatrice Jones, by his father, accord ing to City Judge Samuel F. Swin- her husband's suit to annul the burne, retained by the bride to light marriage on the ground that deep- FOR YOUR UNCLE SAM AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD DECREASED TAXES MORE THAN THE WORLD'S SUPPLY PARTIAL SETTLEMENT EUROPEAN DEBT US. tion as to her race was practiced. The Judge said that if young Rhinelander was free to act at least, she believes the bride he would return without delay to the home of his father-in-law, George Jones. Through counsel Jones has declared the naturalization papers were in error. As evidence that Leonard Rhinelander is back of his bride in the suit, Judge Swinburne made public a note alleged to have been sent to Mrs. Rhinelander by messenger. The note was not signed, but the lawyer said his client recognized her husband's handwriting. It read: "Honey Bunch, old scout—I hope you will win this case. Get the best lawyer." Judge Swinburne said his client told him the message was delivered half an hour after Rhinelander's papers in his annulment suit were filed in the Westchester Supreme Court at White Plains. The lawyer admitted that Mrs. Rhinelander had not retained the alleged message in full, but that a part of it had been turned over to him. The attorney said that before Rhinelander left the bride's home he arranged to keep in touch by telephone with her. "Mrs. Rhinelander had no telephone in her home," said Judge Swinburne, "but they had arranged for conversations of her home. Suddenly the calls ceased and the notes which he had been sending came to an abrupt halt, which led her to the belief that he is --- Tiger Flowers, Colored Middleweight Defeats Johnny Wilson, Ex-Middle-weight Champion.

The short note received last Wednesday was the first she had had from him in several days. Mrs. Rhinelander remains at her home in New Rochelle, preparing her case." He predicted that trial of the suit would not come up before the January term of the Westchester Supreme Court, and that, possibly, it might be on the calendar for February. He was asked about reports of a settlement. "There is only one way to settle its suit," he said, "now and that is by Mr. Rhinelander dropping the en action and recognizing his wife. She does not want a money settlement. She is ill and she wants her husband back. "In our defense, we will neither affirm nor deny that Mrs. Rhinelander is of Nero blood. They have made that charge and they will have to prove it. That has nothing to do with our end of the case. We are concerned with their charge of fraud and we shall concentrate on that. "Young Rhinelander knew this girl and her family for some time before the marriage. He paid attention to her sister before he coursed Alice. He knew the entire situation." The Judge said that he had several letters, alleged to have been written by Rhinelander to the former Miss Jones, in which he addressed her as "Honey Bunch" and "Old Scout." He said they would be "introduced into the record of the trial." GOVERNOR E. LEE TRINKLE, who spoke to vast audience at the First Baptist Church, of which Dr. W. L. Ransome is Pastor. A large and appreciative audience greeted the program at the First Baptist Church, South Richmond, on last Sunday afternoon. Governor E. Lee Trinkle was the speaker of the evening. His address was abundant in mastery advice and was punctuated with applause after applause. It was the first time many people had seen the Governor and many took advantage of the opportunity to shake his hands. He was accompanied by his wife. The welcome address of Mr. James Golden and the introductory remarks of Judge Ernest H. Weils and the response to the Governor by Dr. W. L. Ransome, the pastor, were roundly applauded. The program as a whole was a fine orde and much money was raised. Mr. C. H. Howlett was the prime mover of this occasion. --- "He longed to Gen. Lee". Reading in your last week's issue General U. S. Grant's slaves, brought to my memory a colored relative of General Lee. Before the war of the Rebellion, Robert E. Lee arranged with Daniel McNeal, a very wealthy man, whose plantation was in the heart of the famous South Branch Valley, about six miles North of Moorefield, Hardy county, West Virginia, to take, locate and care for his half brother, Daniel Lee, as long as he lived. Daniel McNeal put him on top of a mountain, six miles west of the Manor House, where everything necessary was his to get and use as long as he lived. The writer has been to his house very many times, "Uncle Daniel" as he was called, a rapid thinker, great talker and full of joy. My grandfather's house was his to come to, and many be the days and nights they spent together in discussing things pro and con. He was a fine looking old man and far above the average in intelligence. He talked much and was fond of his half-brother, General Robert. No use in falling down here, get up and go to the H. C.

To be a good weather propitie study the Bible all the time. So advises Commander George E. Brandt of the navy hydrographic office at Washington. Weather information is hydrography's most important by product, Commander Brandt holds. "Hydrography," he explains, "is the science of the seas. "Weather study isn't its business primarily, but incidentally it is. "The seas provide the weather. The sun shines on them and warms them up. Their currents distribute this heat. But it varies. Some times more of it than at other times. When the sun cools off so do the seas. Then the weather changes. RUN IN CYCLES "There's a periodicity about these changes. They run in cycles of years. We haven't determined their length accurately yet. We're studying them now. "Right here the Bible comes in. "It contains an immense amount of valuable weather data—all about floods and famines. By learning when they occurred, we can judge what the weather must have been like during those times. "The Bible doesn't give many dates, but experts have determined that they occurred." The Biblical weather reports are reliable and quite complete. Inasmuch as we have these cycles of change, we can draw important conclusions for the future from what the Bible tells us of the past. "We get a cheek on our observations, too, by comparing them with the Bible record. We note some sign which we believe foreshadows a war, and we are referring to the Bible we often can find an account of something just like it in Old Testament days. Or maybe the Bible disproves our theory."

VIRGINIA weather forecasts—at least a year or two "We may not have progressed far enough," he concedes, "to go much into details but we can tell an advance the general characteristics of a season—whether it will be warm or cold, or wet or dry." The weather bureau, as everybody knows, disputes this, contending, not that long-distance forecasts are impossible, but that no method of making them is known now. Commander Brandt's answer is that the weather bureau is unacquainted with the results of the hydrographic office's research work. "The weather bureau," he says, "is like the hydrographic offices in that it hasn't the money to do more than stick to its appointed job. Red by law. That job is to get out daily weather forecasts, not to experiment." "Only, the hydrographic office's routine duties have taken it, automatically, in the direction of long-distance forecasting. The weather bureau's have not." "What we need now is some agency with plenty of funds to take over the information already gathered by the hydrographic office and use it practically in the making of actual forecasts. HAVE A START "We have enough data to make an start. As time progresses and our investigations extend over a longer period of years the science will develop—the forecasts will become more and more detailed and accurate. What can be accomplished "was illustrated by the Carnegie Institution in its study of the causes of earthquakes. Beginning with very little information, in quite a short time the institution learned so much that today earthquakes are much better understood than they were recently in forecast a quarter in fact and the earthquake took place schedule time."

Hamilton, Commander of James E. Walker Post of the American Legion, Ex-world War Veteran, and use- ful citizen extraordinajy, ‘has put genuine leadership into his organization, which, by cohesion, ethical protest, and sustained effort has been instrumental in having segregating tablets in the office of the Register of the Treasury replactd by a scroll which sets forth the names of its heroic defenders of Amer- ican ljberty. whjte and black, alphabetically instead of segregationally. President Coolidge, gracefully and sin- cerely, gave sympathetic attention to the Legion’s protest, which he referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, who, in turn, took “the matter up with the office of the Register, with the above-noted result; but the fact re- mains «that the veteran Major Hamilton guided his organization jn such a way that its protest was made ethically; it was re- ceived in the same spirit; and its form and substance were so nearly perfect that favor- able action was promptly forthcoming. In its infancy, the American Legion, as a whole, was viewed with some degree of doubt. This was because at the outset there was a question as to what share the colored boys would have in its programs.. One of the ways to help others is to help yourself; and this is what Major Hamilton and his associates have been doing, so far as James E. Walker Post in concerned. Here is a lesson in leadership and in or- ganization, which, when honest and sincere, and in a closed rank, can perform wonders. Quiet, concentrated effort is always to be preferred to the “hue and cry" system of righ ing wrongs. Every colored Legion post wil, for many years, have duties to perform, which besides being curative of ills, will offer the opportunity for cohesive cooperation. One blow thus struck is worth a dozen “chance” swings. & RP NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE, CONFERENCE.

This proof of an interlocking of interracial aims was more than evident, in the reading of pledges of Secretary of Labor James J. Davis; it was manifest in the stirring remarks of Hon. Francis I. Jones, Director of the U. S. Employment Service, —the man who directed the placement, in ‘one year, of ten million men and women, white and colored, all over the United States; it was plain that Mr. Woods’ fie example of the dedication of himself to a solution of the problems of the meek and lowly; it was emphasized when Commissioner of Concil- iation, Kar} F. Phillips, of the U. S. Depart ment of Labor, brought to the Conference the greetings and pledges of bureau chief and division heads of the Government, a Washington, D. C.; and last but not least, it was marked by the friendly and encour- aging treatment accorded the League’s dele- gates and friends by the people of Cleve- land, white and colored, who, by act and by deed, seemed to say “Welcome, Wel- come” at every ‘urn. The Leagiié’s accomplishments go beyond the Clevelamd-Conference. They. go into the hearts of men. Interracial cooperation in this country is a necessity, lest the strong absorb the weak, which is certainly out of tune with the American dune of “Freedom.” The League and the public beneficiaries are to be congratulated. GAH CHEER UP— IT MIGHT BE WORSE. That the BROTHER is better off than the Jew, so far as racial antipathies in Amer- ca are concerned, is strongly contended by William T. Ellis, in his Intemational Sunday School Lesson for November 30, 1924. Says the Sunday School teacher: “None of the raciab and religious anti- pathies which mar our present-day life are comparable in bitterness with the animosity which the Jew of our Lord's day felt for his half brother, the Samaritan, who had intermarried with the heathen. The simplest statement of this chasm is the Gospel record, ‘Now the Jews have no dealings with. the Samaritans’. Yet here was the daring Jesus holding up a Samaritan to an audience of Jews as the model neighbor”. The Jearned Sunday School internation- alist continues, however, by saying: “Our current cult of the ‘Nordic’ is mostly ignorance and insular. Jesus was not a Nor- dic; neither were most of the other great teachers and leaders of/mankind, Before we ‘can revert to Nordic Pharisaism we shall have to dispense with that non-Nordic book, the Bible, and its lesson of the Good Sa- maritan. Most of us are dodging the race question, which is today possibly the world’s greatest problem. Some are merely senti- mentalizing about it, and contributing to its difficulties by ill-advised zeal for other races than their own. We have a long, hard road ahead of us before the universal race question will be solved; and only one thing is cer- tain, which is that the principle and spirit of the Good Samaritan story must be applied all the way. There are larger conceptions of the love of man to man, and of God to man, that even Christianity has not yet ex- plored.” Sweltering Summers! But Brother Ellis is a philosopher, and in wandering from his lamentations about the Jews he surely did say some things which make our heart strings vibrate. We do not care much, only in a Samaritan and Christian way, about the status of ob- jective antipathy which the Jews occupy in comparison to us. The “Misery Loves Company” song does not blend well as be- tween the Jews and us. We only know that we're striving upward under a heavy burden, and we are anxious to throw off some of the ballast and put on another extra pair of wings. Then’ we want to make a non-stop flight, clear over the sea of Prejudice. CONGRESSIONAL “LEFTOVERS” “Mr. Speaker, I present the report of the House Committee on the Judiciary upon the Foster Bill,—a bill to’ provide for the crea- tion of a commission to study industrial and other conditions among the colored people f the United States—” “I cannot yield to the gentleman,—the unfinished business of the present calendar _! And we have been wondering about just a few of the “leftovers” which comprise the unfinished business relative to legislation of particular interest to the BRETHREN, Lynching showed a splendid decline last year, Sure! But just as long as there’s one lynghing a century in the good old U. S. A. there’s need of legislation to prevent the evil. Since the report on the Foster Race Com- mission Bill was put on record last June, there has been much speculation as to what will happen to this legislative project. It is said that the proponents of the Foster Bill have become a bit ‘eery over the segregation like tinge which such a Commission mjght carry with it. They admit that they have observed signs of such a criticism; while the opponents of the Commission saw that any eighth-grade school child knows the causes of the race problem in America. There are a number of “hopefuls” who are interested in Congressional action which will appropriate some “Bucks” for further ‘work in the Virgin Islands, to which a com- mission. was sent early this year. A number of these “hopefuls” it is said, have healthy bank rolls, which they would be willing to invest in Bay Rum, or some equally profitable commodity. s The District of Columbia school teachers are anxiously awaiting the passage of the bill which will give them salary boosts of a substantial dimension, This ill was left over in the Congressional June rush, and has been the object of economic interest ever since, And, finally, Congressional appropriations of the present session will be watched eagerly by the BRETHREN; for, whenever there's a reduction of force on account of insufficient funds—well, you know the rest—and “If ‘Winter Comes” is no Yonger a far-distant visualization.

President Coolidge will ask lower railroad freight rates and suggest that the roads can make up the difference by practicing Cannon. That is not the railroad idea, however. President College will find that railroad management and a related what is a department of our Government, although not listed as such in the Constitution. The voters, when less prosperous times make their necessary, will decide to have a government running the railroads, instead of railroads running the government. It is not said unkindly, or by an angrish of the new government. The writer has now acquired shares of railroads, a few hundred thousands of railroad bonds. But it is desirable for railroads to realize that it is not going to be mid-Summer for ever. There is cold weather coming. Admirers of the late Theodore Roosevelt will be interested in the statement, made by the authority of the family, that a snowcomer from the western Pacific of the infinite is expected in the Long-worth family. Mrs. Longworth was Miss Alice Roosevelt. Those who have read Calon's Heredy know that the greatness of the father is handed down through the daughter, not through the son. The new little Roosevelt-Longworth may prove to be the reinvention of Theodore. It will be interesting to see how his little teeth develop.

Each car carries 100 passengers and the speed is fifty miles an hour. Most interesting of all, the car, hanging below the steel cable, is driven along as a flying machine is driven. A powerful propeller, nine feet in diameter, worked by electric current taken from the cable overhead, pushes the car. With power enough, and a big propeller, the car might as easily go 100 miles an hour as 50 miles. Then "New York to Chicago above the railroad, in 9 hours, for $9." Dr. Mary Walker cared little about fashion, but the latest news from Paris would interest her. The new "dress" is to be more lige trousers than dress, a sort of slit skirt. Politics, athletics and common sense will finally do away with the cumbersome skirt. That impediment was all right in the harem, where it was born. It's all wrong on the public street, collecting germs, preventing free movement. A lawsuit raising interesting questions is coming. A young man named Rhinelander, whose people for several generations have not worked for a living and are, therefore, called "aristocrats," married a young woman with negro blood. Her people have always worked hard; therefore she is no aristocrat. The yet unman, annoyed by publicity and by the Ku Klux throwing stones through his window, now sues for annulment of his marriage, saying he was deceived as to his bride's race. She told him nothing about the negro blood. If the young woman in the case fights, the question of her constitutional rights might be taken to the United States Supreme Court. New York State legalizes marriages between Africans and whites. The young woman in this case is nearly white. A man in New York could not get a divorce on the ground that his wife had deceived him about a British or Celtic strain of blood. What will the Supreme Court say about a few drops of colored blood? Atoms of iron, so small that you won't notice ten thousand of them in the corner of your eye, make a roaring noise as they rush to a pigment held near them.

Poem by Uncle John They tell us that "publicity" can make the people think—that any business will succeed that's backed by printer's ink—and, so we read advertisements wherever we may go to learn about the values that the people ort to know. It seems to me most cruel—in this happy day an' time, to waste our precious energy in advertise! CRIME. We print disgust' details under headlines, hold an' black, which help to boost the devil and his method of attack! Which leads to the conclusion that, the meanness folks have did, would leave us feelin' better—if the papers key' it hid! To advertise the evil when old Satan strikes a blow, is to stock our young Americans in what they ortn't to know. I hope to see the day arrive—we'd welcome it, I'm sure—when our papers draw the line at stuff that's hateful and impure. . ..

It is one of the best that we have published and are sure that our readers will have several pleasant hours working on it. the sheriff ridicules the suggests but Sally and the rough uncertaintly trunk. Running out of gasoline the Wreck is refused a loan of five dollars. The Wreck holds them up to the point of a gun, forcibly takes the gallons and leaves them behind, leaving out of their three. To can can the Wreck makes the man lose his car crack his man before starting out. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He metched over, threw the switch, and the engine was off with a night-shift clatter. The big man staggered weighty toward the side of the road. His gait was accelerated when a mud mound rudged him roughly as the mud sprang into life. They heard him shout something: it sounded like a threat although they could not catch the words. Then the Wreck took a solid grip on the wheel and began to drive. Once Sally looked behind her. The headlights of the motionless car had faded to small points. She glanced at the Wreck. It was not possible to see his face clearly, but she could imagine the expression. He would be gritting his teeth and staring truculently at the road, quite in his glory. It was five minutes before she spoke, and then she cut loose. "You've done it now!" she exclaimed. "You sure have fixed the repair of us this time. Have you gone stark med?" "Don't argue." advised the Wreck. "Don't you know what you've done? Don't you realize anything? Do you think you can get away with a thing like that? Why, you've committed a crime! And if they catch us—" She left the sentence unfinished, for it was leading to things too awful for contemplation. "Who in blazes is going to catch us?" he demanded. "They won't. It'll take them hair an nour to blow h tires, and they'll burn pretty nearly a gallon of gas doing it. That'll leave them about four gallons, and after fifteen miles or so they'll go dead, like we were. Don't you worry about getting caught." Sally shock her head in despair. "Why, we'll be caught before day light." "Bet you five dollars." "Tomorrow anyway, she went on, ignoring the challenge. "And they'll have a perfectly good case against us. You add them up with a gun—gun" "They ought to have been held up. They began to come to them. They ought to have been shot full of bullets" said the Wreck nearly. Sally will angry, but of course he knows that. She sat with her I was sitting sun up when he warmed her hand a teach on the table. Her eyes blinked rapidly when he chanced in the seat. The door was moving along at a slow pace he intended to promote the com- mute sleeping passenger. "Moving," said the Wreck "Sorry to wake you, but I wanted your expert opinion." Morning.

I stopped for a while after you got sleep. I didn't need any sleep. I just can't sleep. But I let the engine cool out. There was I cany burry, anyhow." "Nobody—passed us?" She asked it anxiously. The Wreck' he shook his head and laughed. He was in fine spirits for a man with guilt on his soul. 'What I wanted to ask about was this fence' he said. 'We've been showing it' for a couple of miles. What's it mean?' Sally inspected the fence, which followed the line of the road. followed the end of the road. "It's somebody's wire, of course." she answered "It means there must be a ranch around somewhere." "Do they have breakfast at ranches?" "They better bad!" "My idea, too," he said. "Where shouts would this ranch lie, reckon ing without the aid of any moun tains or other visible landmarks?" That brought a smile to her face Painfully, the Wreck was in excellent SALLY WHIRLED ABOUT HER CHEEKS SUDDENLY PINK. fettle this morning. He was disposed to be almost playful. "I'd say it's on the same side of the road as the fence," replied Sally. "And if we haven't passed any gate yet, we'd better keep on until we hit one. There's sure to be one." He nodded and continued to drive, while Sally studied the country. It was not mountainous, but decidedly hilly, and she knew at a glance that it must lie at a considerable distance from the Bar-M. Presently her thoughts returned to the big car and its passengers, and she caught herself looking backward over the rolling road, wondering what had become of them. "Here's a gate," said the Wreck. There was more than a gate. There was a plain road, running under it and off into the hills beyond. With a consultation, he rate. then "Always come out in this country" she said, outing out. "They're put there for a reason. Catit" "I was in a hurry for breakfast," he explained. The private road was a long one, as Sally judged it would be; she knew something about the size of ranches. It was nearly a quarter of an hour before they came within sight of anything but hills and hollows.

The ranch house the houses, the outbuildings the corals all-classified themselves swiftly under her survey. "That's a pretty big house," she commented. "Looks sort of new too. You've got a nice location. See the way those hills rise off vonder back of the house. Pretty, isn't it? "I can't see anything but bacon and eggs," said the Wreck. "And when they ask questions we're a couple of tourists. I forget that," said Sally, significantly. "I supposed to be a hodge too. The fliver came a step in the doorway, just as a man emerges from the house. He was a tall lee man with scraggly musculature and he stood there for seven seconds in evident surprise before he approached. "Good morning, called Sally, with a gave of her hand. "Mornin, ma'am." As he walked over to the car he was still scrutinizing them with a pair of steady blue eyes "Are you the proprietor?" required Sally. She knew better than that, but she was trying to play a part. "I'm the foreman. ma'am." "Oh Well. I'm sure you're the very person I want to see. Can we get breakfast?" The foreman rubbed his chin and gave her a further appraisal "It sort of depends," he said "Can you cook?" "Yes!" It was a chorus from two in the flayer. For a few seconds the foreman transferred his gaze to the Wreck, who seemed to have acquired sudden interest in his eyes. "It happens. ma'am, that we ain't furnished with a cook. We had a Chineze, and a Chineze helper. But they blew on us yesterday. But there's plenty of grub, and if you want to cook it, help yourself." He waved a hand in the direction of the kitchen. There was a scrambling exodus from the fliver. The Wreck beat her to the kitchen door by a couple of yards. The foreman followed. "I'll show you where everything is," he said. "Tell you the truth. I kind of hungry myself. I never had to rustle their own breakfast this morning, and they didn't malice to well. I et some of and I know what I'm talkin' about. So if you don't mind, ma'am, while you're cookin' up something, make it liberal in quantity. My names Charley McSween." He looked expectantly at the Wreck. "My name's Williams," said the Wreck, taking the hint. The foreman shook hands and glanced in the direction of Sally, who was already clearing a place on the stove. "My wife," said the Wreck. "Pleased to know you, Miss Williams." Sally was worried about her cheeks suddenly pink. She sheared amazed glance at Henry Williams and received, a look of warning in return. Charley McSween laughed. "I've seen honeymooners before," he said. "I was married once only, self. It ain' nothin' against anybody." Sally opened her lips to say something, broke into a queer laugh and turned to the stove again. She kind of breakfast that comes once a long, long time. when you are ready for even the meanest and find yourself riding down to the best. The Wrecked with a concentration that waned.
