VOLUME XLIII, NO. 19 BOSSY PATTERSON LOSES APPEAL TO U.S. SUPREME COURT CONVIOTED AT PETERSBURG ON MURDER CHARGE AND WAS SENTENCED TO CHAIR. WASHINGTON, March 15—James alias "Bossy", Patterson, convicted at Petersburg, Va. in 1922 on the charge of having murdered Irvin Seid, and sentenced "to be electrocuted, 'ost his appeal today in the Supreme Court the court dismissing t for want of jurisdiction. Patterson con ended that his incidment and trial were Mega because "the names of Negroes were excluded from the lists from which the grand and petit juries were drawn; because he had been denied a change of venue, although public sentiment was running high at Petersburg when he was tried, and because 'the judge left the bench during the trial and went into an adjoining room to use the telephone. THOUGHT THE FINAL DAY HAD COME! FAMILY HIDES UNDER THE BED AFTER BLAST LAID TO ANRGY HUSBAND. (Preston News Service) LILLINGTON, N. C., March 17—"Yas sah, I sho thought Judgment Day had come." exclaimed Eliza Hill, who lives about one mile from here, Tuesday when Deputy Kyle Matthews arrived at the woman's house to conduct a probe into the dynamiting of the Hill home about 1 A M Tuesday. Deputy Matthews stated that the Hill woman, her daughter and two of the Hill children hid themselves under a bed, thinking that the last day had arrived. The Harnett deputy was successful in effecting the arrest of John Hill, son-in-law of Eliza Hill, who is charged with attempting to blow his mother-in-law, his estranged wife and two children into eternity. He is held in the county jail in default of a $3,000 bond. According to stories told Deputy Matthews, John Hill, who parted with his wife a little over a week ago, had become enraged over something and sought revenge by blowing up the home of his mother-in-law, knowing his wife was sleeping under her mother's roof. He is charged with planting a stick of dynamite under the Hill home. The explosion tore one of the rooms off the house and scattered the furnishings in every direction. Parts of the bed and other furnishings in the room were found in the adjacent fields. Deputy Matthews stated that the Hill family had been accustomed to sleep in the room under which the dynamite was placed, but for some reason they had moved into another room last night. This probably saved them from an awful death. The frightened family had hidden themselves under a bed and had remained there for six sold hours until the officer assured them that Judgment Day had not arrived. It took much persuasion on the part of the Deputy "o get them to leave their hiding place. DR. WALKER AT FIFTH STREET Rev. R. H.

POLLFY FRANCES FAILS IN SUPREME COURT Polly Francis, Negro, convicted on a charge of slaying Detective-Sergeant Louis Bertucci will die tomorrow morning in the electric chair, following refusal of the Supreme Court of Appeals yesterday to grant writ of error on an amended petition submitted Tuesday. Only executive element by Governor Byrd can prevent the execution. Stay of execution was granted Francis when attorneys asked opportunity to present newly-discovered evidence in the case. Francis is said to have shot Bertucci, who went alone to investigate the shooting of a Negro woman. The Negro was himself seriously wounded. The gun used by the man who killed Bertucci was never discovered, and an effort was made to fix guilt on another colored man who was for a time held as material witness in the case. Three other applications for writs of error were refused by the court yesterday—Bishmond Times-Dispatch. RICHMOND VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1926 CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE AT 3RD ST. A. M. E.

He Is Ready to Make Peace, He Says, Charging Enemy With Blackening Humanity's Face. The French campaign, in turn, with more civilized methods, is directed toward a program of counter?persuasion. That is why the news is chiefly a record of tribes adhering to and falling away from one side to the other. As a rule the border villages are pro-French until the harvest is gathered in, and then incline-Krimward. In the present campaign it is obviously the object of the Spaniards to keep in line the Dijeba's tribesmen, who abandoned Krim last fall, and of the French to keep the tribes along the Wergha in similar constancy. Even at the height of his success, when he ruled from Melilla to Ceuta and had destroyed his last native rival in the person of the celebrated Raisuli, the Riff Sultan, according to Mr. Sheean, could hardly have been in control of more than 30,000 fighting men. For a defensive war on the Riff home-ground that is more than enough. To subdue them in their own mountains would require years, and one necessary condition would be a battle to shut off Krim from his foreign supplies. Mr. Sheean has examined the question whence Krim has hitherto been drawing the obviously considerable financial means at his disposal. He thinks the stories of subsidy from English forces, Moscow, the French Communists, and the Berlin Government, have little in them. He takes more seriously the cooperation of private German interests. The K.T. is rich in iron and copper, and before the World War the Mannesmann people were active there. He believes they still are. Following in Mr. Sheean's footsteps as he makes his comparatively short club from the desert plains to the heights of the Riff is equivalent to a brief but comprehensive course in imperialism. Evidence emerges both in defense of the white man's burden and against it. One is compelled to make distinctions. The civilization of the Arab populations bordering on the Riff, is, frankly, not such as to elicit many tears over its possible disappearance before the European touch. Very little is left of the original values which swept out of the Arabian homeland and overran the Berber peoples of North Africa in the name of the author. The author is obviously too good-humored to have been influenced in his estimation of the Arab character and the Arab environment by his personal experience with aeward guides and graft-loving sheikhs. The sober reference books confirm his data on the peculiar ways of the free sale of the desert. His picture is one of an appalling degradation, of poverty, filth and disease. It is a different story when the trav- eler escapes from the Arab plains into the Kf. highland. There he finds a population much better favored by environment. The primitive life is there, but with the health of the mountains. The ethnologists have long been familiar with the Berber stock of North Africa upon which the Arab conquest has imposed only the religion of Islam. Mr. Sheean found himself among a tall, sturdy population among not markedly distinguishable from the inhabitants of the northern shores of the Mediterranean—a cleaner, more hard-working, more straightforward stock than their neighbors of the great open desert spaces. The Riffs, if our author has not exaggerated their values, would thus seem to be a pomeon whom it will be vey difficult to subdue and who probably would not be improved by the process. The Riffs would be better off if they were left alone, even if their mountains are rich in iron and copper. The ald-krim professes to be quite ready for some formula by which Europe may get the minerals without carrying away the rest of the country. Nor is there convincinf evidence that Abd-al-Krim's opponents would reject such a formula. The war in the Riff is an example of mudding imperialism. The Spaniards would probably be content to save their FULTON NOTES The Rev. R. H. Walker, National Evangelist, and Orator of New York preached to a large audience last Sunday morn'ning at the Mt.

Day Brings a Close. n Officiates. Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D., pastor of the Second Baptist Church, died at his residence, 202 E. Leigh St, at 2:55 P. M., Monday, March 15, 1926, after being a semi-invalid for several years. He was able to go at will, but he suffered from paralysis in his arm and leg. His mind was as bright and as active as ever and recently, he has been preaching with his old-time forlor. This action on his part tended to sap his vital energies and just as he was in the midst of an exciting delivery, Sunday morning, March 7th, he was noticed to be helpless and unable t ocontinue the sermon further. Notice of End Let to a seat, he was removed in an ambulance to his home in a speechless condition. The physicians reported his throat muscles paralyzed, but his sturdy constitution and surprising will power overcame even this and he rallied and was able to speak, eat and move himself. At times, he wanted more food and desired to get up. Trained nurses, reinforced by his wife and children watched at his bedside. But on the following Sunday another stroke came, making the third one and this time his internal organs were affected and this gave notice of the end. Many Express Sympathu On Monday, the end came and his remains, resting upon a funeral couch were viewed by a concourse of friends, who surged into the Lewis home to express sympathy. His bosom friend, Rev. Evans Payne, pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church is confined to his home by sickness and it was not deemed advisable for him to leave his residence to take a part in the funeral obsequies, so Rey, W.

The deceased leaves a wife, two children, three grandchildren and two brothers to mourn their loss. Funeral Director F. P. Hayes had charge of the remains. The body was conveyed to the Second Baptist Church Friday morning and the public was permitted to see it until the time of the funeral, which took place at I P. M. He had been in charge of this church 37 years. Telegrams of sympathy have been received from friends all over the country and a large delegation came to attend the funeral. --- Attorney C. A.

"Women spend less for clothes than men," says Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of the United States bureau of labor statistics in Washington. And he proves it with actual figures on family budgets gathered in a survey of 12,096 families. "This does not refer to people with great incomes who are in society or trying to climb in," he says. "Our survey deals with wage earning people, whose incomes range approximately from $900 to $2500 a year. But they are the great majority of people. This class includes laureates and businessmen. And if one is going to generalize about women, these are the ones to consider. Suits by the Dozen "There are thousands of wives, to be sure, who regard their husbands simply as a good thing. They spend money without limit for clothes. They may feel disgraced if they wear the same party dress twice. But the husbands of many of these peacock wives are themselves disciples of what the well dressed man should wear and have suits by the "dozen." Now, what do the cold figures actually show? In all families within the limits of the survey, the average annual expenditure for clothes was husbands, $71.35 wives, $63.55. This amount is about $900 with $900 with husbands spending $38.41 and wives, $30.59, to incomes a little beyond $2500 where husbands spent $69.05 and wives $85.72. Averaging the entire survey, the expenditure for clothing is 16 per cent of the family budget. This also companies expenditures of 38 per cent for food, 13 per cent for rent and 5 per cent for fuel and light. The expense for all these families is $1434 with an average surplus of $78.83. "Whenever the family income falls off and someone has to cut the corners on expenses, the wife feels it first," says Commissioner Stewart. Wife Stays at Home "The first item of cutting is on furniture. They sit on the old chair even if it does wobble, instead of buying a new one. The next reduction is in the wife's clothing. The wife stays at home and doesn't get a new coat. She has got to go out among people and work. He can't hold up his head if his clothes are a hard wear sign. And if he loses his job, he has to YOU DON'T MEAN YA SAW A SLOW EMOTION PICTURE—YA MEAN SLOW MOTION, DON'T TCHA?

BRIGHT SAYING NO. 2,667,381,240 Small Copyright by Harris & Ewing have clothes to make a decent appearance while looking for work perfidence when looking for work. "The next step in expense cuts hits the wife, too. She does not eat so. The husband must have plenty of food in order to do his work. She won't stand for skimming the children. But she will reduce her own diet almost to the starvation point: "I don't think this is boorishness or selfishness on the part of the men. It is simply the way life is organized. But it is unjust to accuse women of being a set of vain clothes racks. There Are Limits "This bureau almostally receives requests for figures on an American standard of living. We can't say what it ought to be. But we can show the applicants what the standard is, as disclosed in this survey. One notable feature of the compilation is the way the percentage of expenditure for food goes down and that of clothing goes up as income increases. There are certain limits on food below which one cannot well drop. Also, the miscellaneous item, which includes pleasures and improvement, goes up rapidly as income increases. "But the proportion of expenditure for the wife's clothes in reference to her husband's stays about the same through all the grades of the survey. She spends less than he, right up the line."

"prestige" and let it go at that. The French would obviously be content if they were left at peace in Morocco proper. Abd-e-Krim is by this time probably in the mood to waive his claim to independence provided he is allowed to rule de facto. At the present moment it is a case of no less than three protagonists hanging on to the bear's tail and not knowing hew to let go. By T. R. Ybarra. (Copyright, 1926, by The New York Times Company) London, Mar. 16.—A letter couched in quaint Oriental language, written by Abd-al-Krim, the Riff chieftain, who is waging war against the French and Spaniards in Morocco, has been received by the correspondent of The London Times at Tangier and transmitted by him to his newspaper. In translating the letter he has been wise enough, while putting it into correct English, to keep the picturesque flavor of the original, which is wholly different from the usual conventional style adopted by potentates when writing missives for publication in the press. The letter is dated Jan. 27, but did not reach the London Times correspondent at Tangier until a few days ago, owing to difficulties explained to him by Abd-al-Krim's messenger when the latter finally succeeded in placing it in the Englishman's hands after stealing through the Spanish lines outside Tangier. The letter runs as follows: "To the Editor of The Times: "Peace. "We rejoice to communicate to you true information concerning the situation of our country, so that you can publish it in your progressive newspaper in order that the world may realize what exactly is the position of affairs. "This is in the interests of truth, abroad by the enemies of humanity and those hostile to peace, the lovers of war. "We are relieved of responsibility and the whole world knows that we are prepared to make peace and to come to an understanding with our opponents. We only seek justice and search for tranquility and that is all." "It is nothing to us if our enemies for political purposes make false assertions. It has always been so since we began to defend our usurped rights, and we are always striving to obtain peace. We have exerted every effort in communicating to obtain peace. "We have exerted every effort in communicating with the French and Spanish authorities over and over again; and every time they meet us, in their pride and in their egotism they are interpreting our purposes contrary to their real intention; they say we are the weaker side and have no power to carry on the war or to resist for long; and so they charge us at times with weakness and at other times with having suffered defeat, and this is whenever we make any communication to them or show any inclination for peace. "Resent Being Called Barbarians" "This has astonished us. And when we continue to fight and to kill, abandoning our inclination to follow the path of peace — thereby seeking our rights justly and impartially—they accuse us of being barbarians." "And when we appeal to them for our rights and just treatment they explain it as a confession of weakness and insufficiency. This shows a wrong understanding and is surprising. "When we are in a dilemma and uncertain what road to take, we turn and carry out the Arab saying, 'The sword is more truthful than writings.' "Our intentions are sincere. We never write to our opponents nor send them any communication, except what we consciently and truthfully feel. We are sincere in all this. "We know nothing of politics or intrigues or rogery, but our opponents are masters of those things. They do not understand any ways but those of the fox, and this brings about misunderstandings on every occasion. "We trust that you will explain to the world on our behalf that we demand nothing but out rights and that we defend nothing beyond what we consider our duty to defend. The sole purpose of all our actions is to arrive at peace. "We desire to educate our people and to reform our country. We are always ready to make peace and come to terms as soon as we can perceive that our enemies recognize justice and admit our legitimate rights, without which we cannot exist. "The Riff has characteristics of its own and an ability to exist which entitle it to be governed for and by its own people to live and by other nations do in liberty and independence. "The Riff trusts that when it obtains those rights, and its just demands are accepted, it will live in peace and tranquility with all its with all its neighbors and open its door to foreigners in a fitting way to bring about happiness. "These are our hopes and our desires. Justice will never want supporters in any period or in any country so long as such people as you live. Denies Soviet or Germany Aids Him "Concerning what our enemies charge us with, that we are in relations with the Soviet and Germany and that foreigners are taking a hand in our country, all that is imaginary and is the fruit of enemy rumors. "Thus they find means to upset those who defend the rights of weak nations, as is very evident. We have proved to the world more than once that there is no truth in those rumors and we give you proofs on this occasion. "I am sure that there are others who aid humanity as you do and we trust that the fruit of your help in thus making known our ideas and our desires will be the obtaining of a noble peace by which the shedding of blood, and all these terrible events of which the world is witness, will be removed. "They have turned the face of humanity black and made the sons of men suffer every kind of torment. "Finally, we desire to assure you that although the enemy occupies a portion of our country and may, we suppose, advance and occupy other parts, all this does not detract from our faith, for we remain steadfast to our principles, even if only one man taintop may remain to us to occupy or to inhabit. We shall cause great loss to our enemies. "Although the enemy will possess a further part of our country it will not trouble us, because we have won more than that in our victories in various battles; nor do we perceive any virtue in it, nor will it affect our determination, because all the enemy has done is to create new war fronts on which he is daily suffering great loss. "We still continue prepared to defend our rights to the very end and to die for our principles. We shall be patient, as we have been for many years, until the day will come in which right will conquer wrong. "This is what we communicate to you, wishing you to publish it with anticipation of our thanks. Peace be upon you and great respect. "MOHAMMED BEN ABD-EL-KRIM EL KHATTABI" Toward the end of 1924, Vincent Sheean, a citizen of the United States endowed with a lively curiosity and an observing eye, embarked on board a narrow-beamed mule within the French lines on the eastern edge of the Riff and scrambled, cailed and starved his way through that picturesque mountain land to an interview with the most picturesque figure in the Is'amic world today—the "sunan" Abdel-Krim. It was not a very long interview and it was not a very 'ong trip, but Mr Sheean has embodied the results in a fascinating story. His "An American Among the Riff" (the Century Company) 's at the same time excellent literature and first class journalism. At the moment that this review is being written, the 1926 season of the Riff war is already in the news, earlier by two months than was anticipated. No better summary than Mr Sheean's book is available for an understanding of what the fighting is about in that narrow recapture of forty miles between Fez and the Mediterranean, and who does the fighting. The face's and the background are both there. When the author met the Riff leader as Alt Kamara, a dozen miles back in the hills from h's capital at Adjid, at the present moment in Spanish hands, Abd-eKlerm was a personage, but not yet a world personage.

The world knew, in a general way, that the Riff mountaineers had recently inflicted a severe defeat on the Spanish forces whose nominal "protectorate" extended over the Riff country. But Spain had been in heavy trouble among the mountains for several years, had regularly been "rectifying" her lines, and had just as regularly announced her resolve to bring the campaign to a victorious end. Another retirement toward the coast was, apparently, only another of those things. It took some time for the world to realize that what happened to the Spanish army at Annual in the Spring of 1924 was the greatest disaster ever experienced by a European army at the hands of a "backward" people since the Italians were annihilated by the Abbassian army thirty years. ago. A Spanish army of 20,000 men under General Berenguer was surrounded and destroyed by 6,000 Rifl irregulars under the command of Abdel-Krime's brother, the military genius of the Berber campaign. Spain's protectorate along the Mediterranean was suddenly, as it appeared, reduced to her two ancient outposts at either end of the zone. Ceuta in the east and Melita in the west. Abdell-Krim would not have attained his present-day fame if he had continued his quarrel with Spain alone. The early Spring of 1925 found him at war with the French to the South. As in the case of so many World War communiques the outside world was informed that the Riffs were being driven back from the vicinity of Fez without any previous imitation that the Riffs were advancing on Fez. As in the case of the World War the situation for the French was a very ticklish one for several weeks before the line was "reestablished." The aggressive came from Abd-el-Krim. Proconsul Lyauye at Fez had been content for years to set the Riffs alone. The authority of the protected Sultan of Morocco did not run beyond the Wergha River. It is Mr. Sheean's estimate that effective French control in Morocco has so dem extended over more than third of its nominal area. The French policy was to hold the populated heart of the country and there to concentrate on the work of administration to whose notable results the author is only one of numerous witnesses.

Stubborn Coughs Quickly Stopped This New Way It is often surprising how the most persistent, hacking cough that not only robs you of strength and sleep, but often leads to more serious trouble, yields quickly to a simple but wonderfully effective treatment. This treatment is based on the prescription known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. You take just one teaspoonful at bed time and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before allowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of night coughing. So with the cause removed, coughing stops quickly, your sleep undisturbed, and the entire cough condition soon disappears. Dr. King's New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse-ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown-ups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask for DR. KINGS NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS The Capital Photograph will be distributed to any licensed merchant throughout the State at wholesale price. Notify The Planet Office or L. Dickerson, Nesting, Va.

On the left the sun is sinking, an Arizona sunset. Come on you want to know how it looks. On the left the moon is up, gaining color, as the sun goes down. And from this spot you could walk a few feet, then jump down one mile. This is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, with its thousands of towers, mountains, forts, peaks of every shape and color rising up from the Canyon's floor one inch down. The western horizon is a rite of gold, the farewell effort and defiance of the sun, rolling down to China. And the canyon below is changing its colors and shadows, obedient to fading sunlight and growing moonlight. It would be worth your while to see that. Shadows and bands of color a mile high, exposed layers of old earth that took millions of centuries to build laid bare by the rushing water, each with its color and character, each an open book to the geologist, showing exact age as plainly as you read it in a painted face. A genuine artist, with soul, temperament and similar things, would be sick and probably faint if he could look up from these typewriter letters, carefully padded with rubber, toward the east and west. Below the pale moon, almost full, the sky is a dark rose purple. Below the purple there is a dark broad band of heavy blue. The moon, queen of heaven, rides in triumph on a colored throne as wide as the sky. Somebody should warn owners of mills in Passaic that they are running risks.

Spring Chic AUDIOCASTER Fashion, usually so frivolous in her dictates, takes a new turn by creating this practical sport hat of draped grosgrain ribbon in brown, with a narrow red hand as it's only trimming. One of the practical features of this hat is that it can be crushed without damage pleased to hear employers灯亮, a strike, caged in character, using gas bombs against their workers, and turning heavy streams of cold water on women and children, when tear gas failed to do the work. Now the workers have bought two thousand gas masks to be ready for the next attack, which is not pleasant reading in this prosperous republic. We are doing pretty well here; industrialists are not exactly starving to death. They should warn those Passaic idiots against upsetting the apple cart. Employers have considerably more to lose than employees in the game of violence. A solemn Washington dispatch says the President and Cabinet discussed the Wall Street scare, and "President Coolidge let it be known that he felt there was nothing taking place in the business world symptomatic of a hup in the present prosperity." The trouble, just "nervous properly" among those of the gentlemen, afraid of their own profile. The revised income tax rate will bring hundreds of millions out of the income tax proof non-taxable securities, and business will become more than ever. You read of young Americans going to the dogs via the Charleston, jazz and bootleg whisky. Then Samuel Moore, seventeen-year-old captain of the high school rifle team at Newton, Mass., reassures you with his new world's record. That young gentleman, it sounds unbelievable, made three thousand consecutive bullseye between eight o'clock in the morning and five in the evening. Neither Charleston nor premature hooth has ruined that young man's nerves. The world has been much explored since and before the days of Marco Polo, and the exploring goes on. Tan expeditions are about to start for the polar regions, some to find the Pole again, others to seek new lands, and, perhaps, oil, gold, etc. Others go in the interest of science. In Canada frozen roads are packed with gold seekers, defying the temperature fifty degrees below zero, in a new gold rush; gold seekers, mushing in dog sleds, racing to the new strike water; "gold is showing over a stretch of country five miles in length, with good ground still unstaked." It won't remain unstaked long. Say "gold" and people move as when you cry "fire."

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page by John Joseph Guinea, M.D. We have almost abandoned wholesome, air-cured meats, from which most of the deadly nitrates have been removed by the pure air of the country, and have espoused instead the chemically treated product of commerce. During a fraction of the year we eat fresh vegetables from the garden—at least some of us do; others buy vegetables that have passed through a half-decen dealers' hands—witted and stale. Most of the year we resort to the factory product, housed within its tin can, from the shelves of the wholesaler. Verily the road back to the simple life is growing longer every feverish minute, yet the simple life is the strong lieutenant of health and happiness. The law of right living has been ignored, trampled upon, despised. We fill our bodies with food at the hours when the digestion is at its lowest efficiency — we overpower the stomach, thus starving the nerves. Hours of rest are pirated into hours of activity, until the inevitable failure comes..... then we consult the specialist to find out why we can't sleep! Very few people observe the Sabbath day; it is spent in the harness. There is a great measure of happiness in accomplishment, it is true—but not at the expense of life and health. Greed and speed are the unwholesome twin sisters of early obsequies. This applies as well at the dinner-table as in the marts of trade, and on the paved highway. To abandon both is to take a long step forward to health, happiness and longer life! CIGARETTE SMOKING Success at Home AVIDCASTER Ten years on big city newspapers, last of which were as managing editor, convinced this publisher, A. A. Hoopingarner of Dover, Ohio, that success in the small town held as great rewards as in the city. So he returned to Dover, bought the local paper and in five short years put it across so successfully, that the bigger field heard and called again. He is the new editor and publisher of The American Press, New York. He expects to retain his Ohio properties.

The One who Forgot BY RUBY M. AYRES BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER loses his memory on the Western Front. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize NAN MARABY, the girl to whom he was engaged before going to France. She leaves her friend, JOAN ENDICOTT, and returns home, where comes of her stepmother's death. JOHN ARNOTT, fellow officer with Peter, who has brought the letter to the home of his sister for her mother's death, a money loader, who has been to Man's home several times to see her father. Their conversation is interrupted by Man's three young stepbrothers. Man takes them away to make them feel better, telling her that beeton is the man who hit them with his riding whip. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY NAN did not know what to say for a moment, then she said brisly: "Well, I dare say he thought it was just as well to teach you a lesson," she said. "You might have been killed if the horse had knocked you down." She would not allow further arguments; she hustled them downstairs again and into the schoolroom, where ten was laid. Softon was standing back to the fireplace, looking round him with quizzical eyes. "Thinking how shabby the place is, I suppose." Nan told herself indignantly; she went into the kitchen to fetch the cake; when she came back the three boys were standing in a defiant row, eyeing their visitor with unfriendly eyes. Nan broke what seemed to be an embarrassed silence. "Tea—tea!" she said gaily. Sefton came forward; he took the cake from her. Let me carry that to the place of home. "His fingers touched hers as he took the dish, and Nan gave a little shudder. She looked at his hands, and quickly away again—strong, rather cruel-looking hands they were; the sight of them strengthened her dislike of him. "How dare he hit the boys—the brute!" was the indignant thought in her heart. "It's just exactly what I should expect of him. No wonder the boys won't shake hands with him. I don't blame them." Teen was hardly a success, though Sutton did his best to be entertaining. He tried hard to make the boys talk, but beyond answering in monosyllables when compelled to by Nan. they sat silent, all three of them on one side of the table, staring at Sefton from under their shaggy hair. Even the offer to take them for a ride in his car exacted no better response than a sort of grunting acquiescence, and yet Nan knew that if there was one thing in the world for which the boys longed it was to ride in a car. Afterwards, when the meal was ended and the boys had rushed off, glad to get away, Softon said with an ironical note in his voice: "The only success seems to have been the cake." Nan could not help laughing. "The boys were rude," she said. "I feel that I ought to apologize; they're not always like this—they can be perfect darlings if they like." There was a note of appeal in her voice. "It's an odd thing, but children never like me," Sefton said candidly. "It's rather a sore point with me, I must admit." "Really?" Nan was not at all sympathetic. "Children are queer little thing." "They get a like or not head and stick to you now you try to dislike." Young Chief PETER Four years ago James E. Davis was a "tenderfoot" Los Angeles, Calif., pollinator. Now is chief, the youngest ever in that city. Talks Over First Phone Mrs. Ella Orr, secretary to Albert E. Berry, president of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company at Washington, is shown talking over the first telephone made by Alexander Graham Bell. It was used to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the telephone recently. of their dislikes." "Oh, I hope not," Nan said, politely. She was wishing that he would go. She looked at the clock on the abell and sighed. Presently he dragged forward a chair and sat down opposite her. "The subject of loss of memory opens the road to endless possibilities," he said, irrelevantly. Nan tried hard to hide the start she gave, but she knew he must have mean it. "A good subject for a novelist, is that what you mean?" she asked, lightly. "Novelists must be having the time of their lives with this dreadful war on, what with air raids and missing men turning up months after everyone believes them €13 R J SEOUT "My father has never borrowed money in his life." dead—" She broke off with a little hard laugh. Her voice had sounded flippant, and she hated herself for it, but she knew she could not be serious with this man. "I suppose you don't write books by any chance, do you?" she asked flippantly. "No—it's a thing I've never tried my hand at," he answered seriously. "If I thought I should succeed I might perhaps be tempted now—" "Why now—because of the war, you mean?" "Not altogether—I was thinking of the case I told you about the other day, and of Lyster, too, of course." "You think M. Lyster looks ill!" He seemed to consider the question. "Not exactly 'ill,'" he said at last. "But greatly changed of course, it gave me a shock to find that he did not know me. I went up and spoke to him in the ordinary way, and he was quite annoyed—seemed to resent it. Of course, I understand now, but at the moment, considering what great friends we used to be . . ." He paused. "Were you great friends?" Nan asked indifferently. She was sitting back on her heels, her hands clasped in her lap; there was a little eager light in her eyes, and her cheeks were flushed. Sefton laughed—there was a peculiar note in his laugh. "Were we not?" he said with faint sarcasm. "Surely Peter has told you?" She shook her head. "He had never mentioned you to until that night we met." I looked away into the glowing of the fire. ♥ I have known him—some time, she asked after a moment. There was a short silence. Soffa drew his chair a little more forward. "There is something about which --- I should like to ask your advice," he said then. "I wonder if I may?" Nan looked up. There was a sort of childishness in her face at that moment, and her eyes met his with a sort of puzzled pathos that stirred his heart strangely. "Ask my advice—you!" she said. "Yes, because I think you may perhaps be able to help me." He stopped, and went on again abruptly. "Miss Marraby—do you know day-thing about me?" "About you? What do you mean?" "I mean did Peter tell you anything? Or have you heard anything since?" "No." She looked at him anxiously. "Peter hardly mentioned you at all after we parted that night. Why?" "Because there is something in your manner that makes me think you have been told something that is not right." "No." She told Men. "I am glad of that," he answered, "because I want you to like me—I want you to let me be your friend." Nan not at very still. "And, for two people to be friend —real friends," Sbottom said, presently. "It is necessary for them to know —well, a great deal about one other." Nan scrambled to her feet. "Really, Mr. Sefton," she began, hurriedly, "I'm sure I—" but he stopped her. "Listen to me for a moment." He had fisen to his feet, too. "I told you just now that I was a business friend of your father's . . . you did not ask me in what way?—or what my business was." "I know what it is," Nan said, directly. "You are a moneylender. Mr. Arnott told me." He looked a little taken aback by her candor. "Then you probably understand what my business relations are with—your father," he said, smoothly. "With—my father!" Nan echoed his words, a slow flush crept into her. "My father has never borrowed money in his life," she said, with impetuous anger. "How dare you even suggest such a thing . . . how dare you" She was breathless with anger; her eyes flashed. Sefton spread his hands deprecatingly. "If you are going to take that attitude—of course, it is useless my saying any more, but, ..." "Quite, quite useless," she interrupted scornfully. "I should not believe it—and as for your offer of friendship ..." Sefton colored. "My friendship was good enough for Peter Lyster," he said. "I don't believe you were anything but an ordinary acquaintance of his," Nan cried in a rage. She felt as if he had goaded her past endurance. "If you had been—he would have told me—he told me everything; never had any secrets frown on another ..." Her voice shook. Sefton's face changed. So she still loved Lyster—that was the thought that flashed into his mind; still loved him in spite of this engagement which she declared had been broken off long before Peter was wounded. An odd sort of rage consumed... "Told you everything, did he?" he echoed with a faint sneer. "Then, of course, it will be no news to you to hear that Peter owes me a very large sum of money—more than he can ever repay—and certainly more than I can afford to lose. He stared at him blankly. The man—his voice, his eyes, his whole attitude—seemed to have undergone a swift transformation; she felt as if she looked at the face of a stranger; she fell back a step from him. "Peter—Peter owes you money," she said breathlessly—then suddenly her voice rose. "I don't believe you—I just don't believe you," she stammered. "It's a lie—a cruel lie, which you know he can deny. Deny anything to the man she was defending; she only realized that Sefon was deliberately lying to her about the person she loved best in the world.

Richmond, Va. July 8, 1915. A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waiting thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago we've leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hardwick's Herb Medicine and try to be being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large jar. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I might recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity. I am, J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave.. Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. Mr. L. J. Hayden. 224 West Broad Street. Richmond, Va. I received your treatment O. K. and I have started to taking it already for a few days, and it has already begun to improve my affection so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. I have spoken to many of my friends and they say they are going to send for a treatment. I think it fits with my painas I used to with my pains as I used to with my appetite is just fine and I sleep much better every night. and feel fine monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Bullafalo, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment, and most of the officers were Negroes.
