SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1926 PRICE, FIVE CENTS THE BIG WAR IN MOROCCO. African Chieftain Takes Offensive. Will Attack France and Spain Again--Neutral Tribes Again Wavering--Peace Terms Being Discussed. Rabat.—In the absence of the French governor, M. Steeg, now in Paris, no officials here at the capital of French Morocco would make any comment concerning the new peace negotiations reported proceeding between the French and Spanish authorities and Abdell-Krim. Unspecifically, it was made known, however, that whether or not there is a possibility of early end of the Rifian war, the French army in Morocco is ready to take to the field, whenever the situation demands it, with a better organization than ever. The view, unofficially expressed by the French, has been to be ready at all times to receive peace proposals from the Rifian chief, but their acceptance necessarily must include a safeguard for French interests in the Moroccan protectorate and must also conform to the engagements entered into by France and Spain for the promotion of order and progress in Morocco. It is assumed that such safeguards include police patrol by the French and Spanish in their respective zones and the disarming of the Rifians, as previously insisted. If Tbd.el-Krim is now ready to submit to these terms it means that he is in a weaker position even than recently reported. Formal recognition by the Riffians of the sovereignty of the Sultan of the Shereefian Empire is also one of the points upon which the French and Spanish have insisted. Abd-el-Krim has been ready to recognize the Sultan's religious sovereignty, but has DR. J. C. THE BROOKLYN PRESS DR. J. C. WHITE. DR. J. C. WHITE, OF COLUMBIA, S.

At the very moment when negotiations for ending the warfare in Morocco appear to be well under way and when the feeling in French and Spanish camps is that peace is in the air, information is drifting in from a dozen sources indicating that Abd-e-Krim is about to launch a series of heavy attacks against his European foes. These attacks, according to opinion here in the military and political capital of French Morocco, will be in the nature of a peace offensive. They will be designed, the French believe, to impress Paris and Madrid with the strength of the Klimks at a time when these governments are considering what concerns are necessary to conclude peace with the Riff. Heavy concentrations of Riffian troops have been sighed opposite the French and Spanish lines. On the French side it is expected that Queezan, one of the most important towns in the French protectorae, will be Abd-el-Krim's principal objective. The French forward positions here are only some eight miles beyond the town. Another important concentration is taking place among the Benzi Zeroual tribesmen in the Ouerga sector. Confirmation on both the French and Spanish sides indicates that Tetuan, the Spanish capital, will be the objective of the Riffian thrust. There the Spanish defending lines, rrp WHITE. Richmond has not heard a minister so conversant with sacred and profane history and so gifted in bringing to present problems its unerring truth. When Dr. White takes those historical flights his audience moves reverently adown the dim corridors of departing ages and there stand awe-smitten and mute before the unfolding purposes of God. Richmond will not soon forget the burning messages from this man of God, and it is no wonder that eager hearers come from all parts of Richmond and its environs. Even now plans are maturing to have Dr. White again in Richmond. along the hilltops in easy view of the city. Riffan Column on the Move. The news of military activity in the Riff was gained by secret agents among the natives as well as by aerial photographs showing moving Riffan columns on all trails leading to their advanced position. Large mule trains carrying munitions are being sent daily from the Riffan headquarters at Tarquist to various concentration points near the front line. Heavy cannon drawn by war prisoners are also reported on the front. French sympathizers among the (Continued on page 4.) A GOOD SUNDAY, EVE PROGRAM The B. W. P. U. of the Fifth B.

Negro Minister, Accessed by Wife, Must Return After Sermon. Atlantic City, N. J.—In order that he may preach to his congregation, Charles A. Outen, a Negro minister of this city, was temporarily released from the county jail by Judge William H. Smathers. Outen will go back to jail Monday. The preacher was sent to jail several days ago for assaulting his wife on the street in front of his home. Outen, who is a hoodavair and preaches at the Memorial Baptist Church on Sundays, testified that his wife was drunk and with another man, while she charged that he was drunk and with another woman. Judge Smothers ordered the temporary release upon receiving a petition from members of Outen's congregation. SOVIETS WANT (COLORED) FOLKS Moscow. — Solomon Abramovitch Lozovsky, general secretary of the Bed Trades Union International, is urging members of that organization to insist on the inclusion of Negro workers in all foreign trade unions, especially in the United States. Failing this, he says, Negroes should be organized into independent trade unions. "In the United States there are eleven trade unions, comprising 436,000 workers, which reject Negroes as regular members." Lozovsky declared in a speech. "Even other trade unions which do admit Negroes treat them as outcasts. If American trade unions refuse to admit Negroes we must not be afraid to create parallel Negro trade unions to compete with them." Lozovsky said the international committees for propaganda must act energetically in the creation of "vertical international trade unions" to prevent capitalists from organizing international blacklegging or strike-breaking. He added: "The existence of such unions, for example, would have made it impossible for England to import coal from America and Belgium during the last strike of British miners, because American and Belgian mine workers would have struck in sympathy with their foreign comrades."

Those who have heard Mr. White Aside from his art he has a most engaging personality, and in playing there is a blending of his art and personality that is almost irresistible. After a recital in Omaha the following comment was made by the music critic of the Omaha Bee: "Mr. White displays many commendable qualities. He has an abundance of temperament, a fine sense of musical niceties and an efficient technical equipment. He wields a skillful bow and the tone he draws is clear and beautiful." The West London (England) Times in commenting on his recital in London said: "The career of Clarence Cameron White reveals a life of inspired achievement. His supremacy is the natural reward of true genius—the result of great things actually accomplished. His selections were musical gems; he is indeed an exceptional artist."

Good time people are plentiful these days. Be cheerful, although you find yourself handicapped in so doing. This may be "a white man's country," but the Constitution of the United States doesn't say so. A person who will spend fifteen dollars for frivolity has a hard time finding fifteen cents for the church. The ministerial profession is heavenly when it is regarded with awe and respected with reverence by both the pew and the pulpit. When colored men improve their own condition and increase their own self-respect, they are making progress in the right direction. Treating white people with respect will lead to your treating colored people the same way with no loss of your self-respect in so doing. Prayer is all right, but you should get your mind, hands and feet in a condition to follow up those prayers with "worth-while" actions. Some people do not like the United States of America and yet they will not leave this country for fear that when they get out they cannot get back. If you want to be turned out of some of these churches these days, you speak up for the truth and the right and be guided by the divine teachings of the Holy Master. Some people believe in a short cut to Zion. When they get to the end of the line they will find the road blocked and they will be required to turn around and go the way marked out in the Book of Life. Some people wonder at the infidelity in the churches nowadays. This is caused by inducing sinners to join the church before they have been truly regenerated and before they have made up their minds to tread the narrow path defined in the New Testament. Some of the black folks at the Detroit meeting must have thought, before the convention was over, that Marcus Garvey had gotten out of the Atlanta prison, if we are to judge by the method and manner in which he controlled affairs there. Those who expect to overthrow Garvey either in this country or out of it will find out that they have a mammoth job on their hands. The only way for the disgruntled elements to do it to "start a hell of their own." Some young girls are "crazy" to marry and some young men are determined to say single, until they come under the influence of the young girls. Then comes the argument that it is just as easy to take care of. two as it is to care for one. In this kind of discussion, the youngster has no show, for the girl can convince him. He proceeds to undergo a hypnotic spell, from which he awakens only after he is married, and then, in disgust, he takes to drink or to some substitute therefor. As for the girl, she usually finds consolation with an indulgent mother, who knew all about it beforehand. God help the rising generation. The hanging of Gerald Chapman last Monday night at Weatherfields Prison, Coun., was a ghastly affair. If the newspaper reports of the affair are true, the enormity of Chapman's crime is obscured by the brutality of his execution. To break the neck of a live man by this process is bad enough, but to break the neck of practically a dead man in a second jerk is brutish. It is these kinds of scenes that are creating a sentiment in favor of the abolition of capital punishment. Gerald Chapman deserves no sympathy, and it will be argued that he got what he deserved, but the method and mode of his taking off seems to us to have been a blot upon our civilization. Even drowning or asphyxiation would have been more humane. We claim to be enjoying the blessing of modern civilization, but it does seem that at times we have a recurrent attack of a return to the barbarities which were presumed to have seen its end in the centuries which have passed. natives have brought in colorful accounts of Abd-el-Krim's efforts to rally the tribesmen for a grand assault. Appealing to a gathering of tribal chiefs at Ktanan, these natives report he dramatically pressed his hand to his heart and called on their chiefs to support him in his effort to win independence for the Riff or choose another chief to supplant him. He demanded particularly that the Kites and Gomara tribes of Djeballe bring heavy troop contingents. He also relieved all the chiefs of the Beni Zeroual tribe, according to information reaching the French, and replaced them with leaders more disposed to pursue a vigorous war course. Calls for Unity Against Christians. French native agents at Fez report the interception of the following appeal circulated by the Riffian chief in the main towns, of which the authenticity cannot be vouched: "Unite and form a rampart against the Christians. Massacre them wherever you encounter them. Harass the enemy every moment. An unique occasion presents itself and we must profit by it. Face the holy war to defend our religion for the sake of our country. Dare to die for teh love of Allah." The French authorities evince no uneasiness over the expected Rifian offensive. They assert their line is greatly strengthened since last year both by material and men. New detachments, particularly strong in machine guns, and a fleet of airplanes are held in reserve positions ready to go into action the moment a hostile attack develops. Paris. While no undue optimism is being attached in Paris to the peace negotiations with Abd-al-Krim, it is stated that during the past few days a more tangible and clearer situation has been produced than heretofore through the intermediary of some Calds in the subjected zones. Contradictory reports that the Riffian leader is preparing an offensive and at the same time seeking peace are interpreted here as showing his indecision. The government, however, is determined that while it will continue the peace negotiations until peace is obtained or until there is no possible prospect of success, it also will continue all necessary preparations against a new outbreak of hostilities. Premier Briand had another long interview with Governor Steeg today and with the War Minister, M. Paul Painleve, and it is understood that alternate peace and war programs have been definitely agreed upon. In Syria, the beginning of the offensive against rebel Druses marks the failure of all the attempts of the High Commissioner, Senator De Jouvenel, to reach a peaceful settlement. During the last few months the French Commissioner has made repeated peace propositions, all of which have been rejected by the Druses, whose continued resistance has thrown the country into a state of brigandage. M. De Jouvenel has now, however, by his agreement with the Turks and with the British in Palestine and Transjordania, succeeded at least in preventing easy access of supplies and ammunition to the Druses across the land frontiers. It is not expected that there will be a full development of the present operations before the end of the month. Rabat, Morocco.—A Riff attack against the French outposts, which had been expected for several days, opened this morning. Some of Abd-el-Krim's regulars, whose presence had been noted along the fronts of Marnissa and Gatznia, began an offensive action against the friendly tribes of Fenassa, Beni Ouendjel and Ouled Bouslama, situated between Tioua and Marnissa. These tribesmen, who were only recently won over to the French cause, were posted about twelve miles to the north of the French main line of resistance. They retreated, and Abd-el-Krim's forces occupied Soukel-Kemis, ten miles north of Cheyab. Riffian Air Force Improved.

Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment.

The French have resolved to eliminate Abd el-Krim as a disturbing factor—unless he accepts peace terms, giving guarantees—before the visit of Muali Yussef, Sultan of Morocco, to France in July next. Ahd-el-Krim, taking advantage of the report of the proposed trip to France of the Sultan, announces that France will not permit him to return, but will establish Morocco as a republic under the rule of an "infidel president." The weather now is dry and clear, with moderate heat. It is the best season of the year for military operations. Negotiations Admitted by Paris. Paris.—The first official admission ```markdown ``` POLITICS WET AND DRY ISSUE that peace negotiations between the French and Spanish and the Riflians are being made is contained in a communique issued by the Foreign Office this afternoon following a long meeting by Premier Briand, Minister of War Painleve, Governor General Steege, Marshall Petain and two technical assistants. Basically the conversations were aimed at methods of "conducting the military operations and realizing peace," but the communique shows that the ministers and the Moroccan civil and military executives chiefly discussed a much narrower subject: "The eventual opening of official negotiations is developing under good conditions," says the communique. "Conversations which are now taking place between emissaries duly authorized by Abd-el-Krim and representatives of the Spanish and French governments are considered as very serious and favorable results are expected therefrom." The question naturally arises where the peace negotiations are being held and who the duly accredited representatives of Abd el-Krim are. A clue may be seen in the arrival from Morocco of General Simon, who participated in today's council and brought the "latest information" to the Premier and his collaborators. This is considered in Paris as evidence that the negotiations are going on at Rabat or another point of Morocco between natice cheftains representing Abd el-Krim and the Spanish and French civil and military staffs. Likewise it is considered proof that Captain Gordon Canning is not the duly authorized negotiator referred to by the French communique and that the Riffians are negotiating on their own behalf. On the other hand, so far as Captain Canning is concerned, he actually does represent Abd el-Krim in view of the long letter he brought cunningly couched in biblical language by the Riffian leader. But there is not the slightest chance of Captain Canning obtaining recogni- (Continued on page 5) C. P. HAYES, A. Hayes (Q. Son) 727 N. 2d St., Richmond, Va. LATEST IMPROVEMENTS IN FUNERAL EQUIPMENT.

The Bureau of Industrial Technology says it costs the United States FOURTEEN BILLIONS A YEAR to buy automobiles and keep them running. That's more than the amount lent to Europe during the war and it is also a better investment than the war loan. From Europe for our ten billions we get criticism, the accusation of meanness. From the automobile for our fourteen billions we get national health, saving of time, much pleasure, millions of families united. At fourteen billions a year the automobile is a bargain. If you haven't got yours yet, get it NOW, with the opening of Spring. To use public moneys for the comfort of the prosperous class is "sound conservatism." To use it for the unproperous class, their wives and children, is SOCIALISM. We spend thousands on a fine bridle path in a great park, supplying soft footing for the horses or the well-to-do, that's WELL. But when the Governor of New York suggests using public moneys to solve the housing problem for the poor, providing decent living quarters at reasonable rentals, that is denounced by indignant landlords as "rank Socialism." The Rev. Dr. Thomas, president of Rutgers, University, says all our progress is due to religion—"this nation forges ahead through its faith in God. Science and education have been negligible factors in the progress of America." The founder of Christianity said: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's." He would have rendered unto Fascist Leader Signora Margherita Sarfatti is known as Mussolini's "minister, with out a portfolio." She has been the Fascist dictator's right hand aid for more than ten years, and is called the "mother of the Fascist movement." "No Hoss Thief" AUTOGASTER The authorities of Asbury Park, N. J., have arrested 92 year old Dr. E. P. T. R. Obsidesten, for stealing a horse and buggy 45 years ago. The Doctor claims police want his half brother, who has the same name. "He has a silver plate on his head, I have, which he got from a gun fight in New York." 2 The boom in old-time fiddling in America brought these two veterans from the lands of the heather and the shamrock to try their prowess. To the left is John Wessman, 76, self-styled "young Irish ditto" from Bantry Bay. To the right is J. Scott Skinner, 83, the champion of Aberdeen. They'll play in the contest at Lewiston, Me., in April. science and education all credit due to science and education. The radio, carrying sermons, including the marvelous Sermon on the Mount, to millions unseen by the speaker would have interested him and the modern methods of protecting mothers and prolonging the lives of children would have delighted the heart of the great defender of children and women. Religion is the greatest thing in the world, because it deals with the infinite. Science and education are important also. Eugene C. May, highly educated, has left this earth in disgust. Years ago he learned the location of a schooner sunk in a few fathoms of water on its way from the Australian gold fields with $10,-000,000 in gold on board. Trying to get that gold he fitted out two expeditions, spent all he had, more than $100,000, failed. He opened the veins in his wrists, died, and now his ashes will be scattered on the surface of the Pacific Ocean above the $10,000-000 in gold that he did not get. A good text for sermons. A British scientist makes this most important announcement concerning cancer. He can detect, by analysis of a few drops of the patient's blood, the presence of cancer in its early stages. Cancer located and treated promptly in the beginning can be permanently eradicated. Cancers that kill are those ignored too long. Report any strange growth to your doctor. Seven years ago, young J. R. Tucker, of Dartmouth College, owned just one dime and a watch. Now his life is insured for a million. That interests many who think money means happiness. Later Mr. Tucker won't have even the dime, and the worms will have him. But the crowd forgets that. We have heard an unpleasant story of slave labor. A State is alleged to have made a profit of more than half a million dollars in 1925 by putting convicts to work in the mines as slaves, under conditions of dreadful cruelty. Conditions are not as bad as they have been formerly, however: not as bad as when English laborers were branded with a red-hot iron on the cheek if they sought work outside of their own parishes not as bad as when men sent to the mines by Peter the Great lived and died chained to their wheel-barrows.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. SCIATIC NEURITIS. Sciatic neuritis is, of course, limited to the sciatic nerve. It is often excruciatingly painful. There is no swelling. Lameness is pronounced. Fever is absent in the majority of cases. Absolute rest is the best treatment, though other measures may go along with benefit. I find it very difficult to convince these people that they do not have rheumatism. Old-time physicians indeed, used to pronounce this disease "sciatic rheumatism" when conditions were not understood as they are now. An aged physician was one of the worst sufferers that I have ever seen. Medicines for rheumatism were absolute failures in his case. A plaster-paris cast which enforced absolute rest for two weeks cured him—without a drop of medicinal Rheumatism, so-called, is an inflammation of the joints. It is characterized by swelling, pain, limited motion, and fever in acute stages. The correct term is arthritis. Rheumatism is an obsolete name, or should be. Neuritis is an entirely different proposition, and requires entirely different treatment. Blood disorders and germs cause arthritis. Injuries, over-use, strains, and disease of adjacent-organs cause neuritis. A rectal ulcer may cause sciatic neuritis, which treatment of the ulcer cures promptly. Women have sciatic neuritis from causes that escape notice, often the physician himself falls to locate the source. A bit of reflection ought to convince any one of the futility of using medicines for rheumatism in such cases.

BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER has lost his memory from shell shock on the Western Front. Upon his return to London he has to reconcile with MARABRY girl to whom he became engaged before going to France. Nan has returned to London to reconcile with her stepmother, to take care of her three young stepbrothers. She is joined by JOAN ENDICOT, in London, who is expecting her husband on leave and who told her that Peter and a friend, JOHN ARNOTT, were spending their leave at the home of Arnott's widowed sister not far from the Marmot's jealous of Arnott's sister, and very displeased with the attentions of HARLEY SEFTON, a money lender to Peter. A friend of Peters before he was born Peter also failed to recognize him. Peter met. Sefton has told Nan that he met Peter, the eater he him great sums of money. Nan is walking through the window, her home, crying over her fate, when she meets Peter. She tries to explain her tears that becomes quite fluffy with "the Man Who Forgot." They have to be on the fence surrounding the Maraert estate when Nan expresses a doubt of her ability to vault the stile. forgotten the way to climb a stile," Nan said, her heart was hammering in her throat. "The best way is to give me your hands—stand on the top bar and jump," he declared. "Give me your hands." Nan was sure that he must feel that she was trembling, but he took her hands firmly and steadied her. "Now—one, two, three—jump!" he said. His face was raised to her as she stood above him—she could see his eyes plainly in the faint moonlight, with his half-laughing, half-embarrassed expression. His cap had got pushed a little to one side, and an obstinate lock of hair which she remembered never would lie down and behave had struggled out and lay across his forehead, giving him a singularly boyish appearance. Nan looked at him, and suddenly the moonlight seemed blotted out and the whole world to be swimming around her. She swayed giddily, and would have fallen but for his upholding hands. "Oh!" she said, weakly. "Oh, I'm falling." But in a moment his arm was around her, and she was safely beside him on the soft grass. He kept his arm about her for a moment; he made her stand with her back to the stile. There was a punched point of look on his face. "I am afraid you really have forgot ten about being a country girl," he said, presently. Nan opened her eyes. "That what it must be—I've never turned giddy before—how silly of me—" She pushed her hair back from her forehead. "And now, having made an exhibition of myself for the second time," she said. "I think I had better go home, or there will be a third time, and you know what people say about the third time?" Peter Lyster looked at her steadily. "Miss Marrabry—will you tell me something?" he asked. Nan was brushing a dried leaf from her sleeve. "Will it?" she echoed flippantly. "Why, of course." She rushed her eyes to his face. "What is it?" she asked smiling. But Peter was grave. "Tell me why you were crying when I met you," he said. A little bat whirled by overhead, cutting the air with its gauzy wings; it flushed away like a shadow in the moonlight. Non watched it mechanically—the fever in her veins seemed to have quieted; her face looked very young in the pale light. Lyster came a step nearer. "Tell me," he said again. "I can't," said Nen. "Oh, I can't... ... Their eyes met. "You mean that you won't?" Lyster asked. Nan laughed then—a little reckless laugh. "Perhaps—some day," she said. "Perhaps—some day." Lyrics - bobble city. Lyrics took off his cap and brushed the hair back from his forehead. "I shall hold you to that promise," he said. The morning brought Nan a letter R. J. SCOTT E16 "My brother has spoken about you so often." from Joan Endicott. The wonderful Tim had arrived, and apparently all was sunshine. "I haven't really time to write at all," she she began her letter, "At time is fidgeting round, begging me to go out with him, but I thought I ought to write you a note and say how happy I am. I am wearing the pink blouse you made, and Tim says he has never seen me look so pretty. The time is flying—a whole day gone already. Nan-Tim says that he thinks the war will be over this year, but I can't help feeling that he only says it to comfort me. I think of you a great deal, and wonder how you are getting on, and if you have seen anything of Peter Lyster or Mr. Arnott. You know, I think with Mr. Arnott was just a little taken to you! He looked at you such a lot, and the day he came here after you had gone Leavenden, he was most absurdly disappointed. I should love to see you settled down and happy, Nan—after all, Peter isn't the only man in the world. I told Tim about what had happened, and he was very sympathetic, but he says that life is too short to spend it in grieving, and that if anything happened to him he would rather know that I had found some man to look after me and be kind to me, than to think of me being unhappy all my life. Isn't it sweet and unselfish of him?" Nan tossed the letter aside. It was so like Joan—full of little timeless trivialities. She wondered apprehensively if the day would ever come when she would have to go back and live with her again. She resented Joan's very obvious hint about John Arnott. "As if I could ever care for another man?" she told herself passionately. John was changing her frock upstates in the afterlife, when she --- heard a car drive up the road and stop at the gate. She looked out of her window curiously, then the blood flew to her cheeks in a rush of crimson. John Arnott was getting out of the car; he turned to give his hand to a woman in black. "His sister!" Nan told herself. She rushed to the head of the stairs and called to the little maid. "Are you dressed?"—Mary—are you dressed? It was an enormous relief to get an answer in the affirmative; she whispered instructions over the balusters. "Some people are calling—ask them in the drawing room, and say I will be down in a minute—oh, and, Mary, keep the boys out of the way—and, her heaven's sake, mind that the cake doesn't burn—it's in the oven." She twisted her hair up anyhow—her hands shook as she fastened her frock. "I don't know why on earth I'm so excited," she thought. Her heart was pounding traitorously as she went down the stairs. The drawing room door was closed, and Nan stood for a moment outside. When at last she went into the room there was a little flush in her cheeks, but she smiled composedly enough as she went forward. Arnott was standing staring at a picture. He wheeled round as the door opened. He began a clumsy introduction, but his sister cut him short. "I have heard so much of Miss Marrabry that there isn't any need for us to be formally introduced, John," she said. She gave Nan her hand. "My brother has spoken of you so much, I feel as if I know you already," she said. "You are very kind." Nan said, but her cheeks felt hot. Arnott seemed to read her thoughts, for he said suddenly: "Lyster came along with us, but he spotted your young brothers on the road and insisted on getting out and walking home with them, Miss Marrabry. Topping little chaps, aren't they? They wouldn't have much to say to me, but they were all over Peter. Nan's eyes shone. "Peter was always fond of children," she said, unthinkingly. Arnott's sister looked up quickly. "No, no, no M. Lyster well" she asked, in calm voice. "I Oh, no—at least." Nan stammered and hesitated; she looked appealingly. at John. He rushed into the breach. "Miss Marrabry has me, him when we've been together once or twice," he said; "that is all . . ." He followed Nan to the tea-table. "I say, let me help," he urged. "I'm a dabster at pouring out tea and passing cups and things." Doris Mears watched them silently across the room; she was a slightly-built woman, rather below average height, with extremely small hands and feet of which she was inordinately proud. "Will Mr. Lyster be coming along, then?" Nan asked presently; she tried hard to make her question appear casual, but to the other woman there was a sort of suppressed eagerness in her voice. "He didn't say," she answered sweetly. "They all turned off into the kitchen. They all turned trouble to keep any tea for them." "It's no trouble," Nan said. "The boys will be hungry, anyway." "I'm not going to like her," was the dismayed thought in her heart. "And she isn't going to like me, either." She was ashamed of the instinct; she liked Arnott well enough to wish to like his sister also. She took her cup and went over to sit down beside Doris. "I hear you have a little boy," she said. "I wish you had brought him with you." Mrs. Mears laughed, and raised one hand hand deprecatingly. He's gone. I'm the perfect wreck after 10 minutes with him, so I always leave him at home. He loves Peter, too, Miss Marabry—I'm afraid he gives him an awful time." "Peter it likes," said Arnott; he spoke rather indistinctly as his mouth was full of cake. "Peter—huilo; here they come. . ."
