HUBBY CUTS WIFE'S THROAT ROBERT GREEN TELLS STRANGE STORY Woman Did Not Love Him--A Gruesome Tragedy. FULL STATEMENT OF THE CASE--THAT ALLEGED FRIEND. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 24 HUB ROBE Woman FULL S Robert Green, chauffeur for Funeral Director A. D. Price, Jr., cut his wife's throat almost from ear to ear, severing the jugular vein, last Tuesday about 1 o'clock P. M., in the kitchen of the residence of the white people where she was employed. Green quietly walked into the Price establishment, where he is employed, and calmly announced that he had killed his wife. Mr. Price was hastily summoned from his residence upstairs and listened to Green's story. He placed him between two men, who later carried him to the Second Police Station to give himself up, while he went up to the place on the Pump-house Drive to investigate. In Pool of Blood He notified the resident on the property adjoining before he would enter the house. The white people had gone away to spend the day, but upon going to the kitchen, the door was found partly open and lying in a pool of blood was Pearl Green with her throat cut. She must have died almost instantly. The only excuse Green gave to his associates at the Price establishment was that he killed her because he found out that she did not love him. At the station house he is alleged to have made the statement that she had a friend with whom she had gone out and had a good time and that she had another engagement with him. A Hard-Working Woman Those, who know the dead woman say that she was a good, hard-working person and that no man but Green himself had been seen at the place where she rendered service to her employer. The body was removed to the A.D. Price establishment, where it is being prepared for burial. The Case Called The case of Robert Green was called last Wednesday morning in the Police Court, Judge Ingram presiding. The accused was remanded to jail to await the report of the coroner's jury, which convened Friday morning. Green was seen in the "pen" at the Police Court and he stated that he went to where his wife works and was with her Morning day night. While there, she told him she did not love him any more. When pressed for a reason, she said that she would tell him when he came up the next day with the laundry. That Alleged Friend. He asked her again to tell him and she said that she had a friend and that he was one she went with before she went with him. She had met him on a car, not having seen him for a long time, that he winked at her and that he made an engagement with her and that she had spent the day with him, the day before and that they went to bed together. She also said that she was going out with him Wednesday night and again Thursday night. Green said he exclaimed, "You my wife and you are going out with another man like that." His wife struck him and he struck her with the knife. Green said he did not know this friend's name. Green's father is Rev. R. H. Green. He has recently removed to Brooklyn, N. Y. He has a mother, two brothers and four sisters. Wife's Brother There. Green said he had never seen any may with his wife and he did not know of any man visiting her. On the Wednesday night preceding, he saw her brother with another girl and another fellow there in the room. Her brother's name was John Harris. His wife had a mother, a step-father, Richard Jones, residing at 1412 Jacquelin Street. She had a sister in Florida, who ran away with a show. At the A. D. Price establishment it was stated that Green came in there after 1 o'clock stating that he had killed his wife. He was in a state of nervousness, exclaiming, "I have killed my wife! What am I to do? Send me something to eat until I get in the electric chair." Green stated that he was not drunk. He looked more like a man who had been under the influence of dope. The gash made in the woman's throat extended from under the lobe of the left ear, across the neck severing both the jugular vein and the wind pipe. He had not secured counsel at the time of the interview, but was anxious to have his father arrange this matter. The weapon used in the killing was a pocket knife. --- BLOOD OF WHITE MAN SAVES NEGRO WOMAN NEAR DEATH IN HOSPITAL BROOKLYN, N. Y., April 16.—Mrs. Annette Robinson rested comfortably in Holy Family Hospital, Dean Street, Brooklyn, Thursday, with a pint of a white man's blood in her veins. She liver probably only because Harry Hughes, an ambulance driver, volunteered for a transfusion after some of her friends had refused. Mrs. Annette Robinson, thirty-eight, was taken to the hospital Tuesday bleeding from her ears, mouth, nostrils and internally. Her blood would not coagulate. Relatives and friends were informed that an immediate blood transfusion was necessary. Volunteers among the hospital staff were asked for. Several came forward. Among them was Harry Hughes, who is an ambulance driver is acustomed to assisting in saving lives of persons without inquiring what is their station in life or their color. His blood was found to be best constituted to succor Mrs. Robinson. Another driver went to relieve him and he was rushed to the women's ward. Drs. Joseph Lionello and Anthony Pirondino, assisted by Dr. Bernard Bottieb, performed the operation. They said later they could recall noprevious instance of such a blood transfusion. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon when Hughes was wheeled from the women's ward. Shortly afterward he walked out of the hospital and Mrs. Robinson was declared out of danger. After dinner Hughes again took the wheel of his ambulance. The Charles G. Jurgens'. Son has many friends and the sale of good furniture at low prices and upon accommodating terms is the cause of it.

Olivet The Pastor and Congregation Jubilant. Mount Olivet Baptist Church has been given the fine old organ of the Monumental Episcopal Church, located on Broad Street, near College Street, with the exception of the gold gilded pipes, which ornament the front of this historic instrument. Mr. Burgess Ramos will have charge of the removal of the organ, which will give place to one of modern construction. The organ was installed by Henry Erben, of New York, in 1850, and it has wooden pipes. Those Inscriptions The tone and volume are equal to the best now upon the market and when played brings forth melodies of transcendent sweetness. A visit to the church last Monday morning caused the copying of the inscriptions upon this historic structure. "Monumental Church, Erected in 1814, Rev. GeorgeMayo, Sunday services, 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. Seats free." Another inscription reads: "The Virginia Convention of 1788 met in Richmond Academy, near this spot and ratified the U. S. Constitution. Placed by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, 1907." Rev. Bowler's Statement. The story told by Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, the pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, is interesting. James M. Frayser met Rev. Bowler near the corner of Eleventh and Broad Streets and "tipped him off" relative to the intention of the Monumental Church to get rid of its old organ and install a new one. He thought that with the proper action, he might secure the old one as a gift. Rev. Bowler lost no time in acting (Continued on page 8). ETHEOPIA AT THE BAR OF JUSTICE.

The resolution permitting them to vote went over and it is believed that had it been put to a vote, the male members of the church would have overwhelmingly defeated it. Still this remains to be proven. Moderator's Ruling The question came up in the April meeting and the motion was made to permit them to vote. This was never acted upon, the point being made that the adoption of Hiscox Church Directory by the Ebenezer Baptist Church governed and repealed the custom and usage of the church. Rev. William H. Stokes was appealed to in the matter and ruled in favor of those making the point. This ruling has not been reversed by the church and it is rumored that further discussion will follow when the matter comes before the church at the next regular meeting.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Judas Sheep Lures 750,000 Of Own Kind to Death BILLY has no con- Perhaps that's well for him. He's a paid and professional Judas. Betrayal's his stock in trade. That's how he makes his living—leading members of his species to death. Of course Billy is not He's only a goat—a siren in He's and when he sings, it you call Billy's bleat a song, then that's the music which some 750,000 trusting sheep have followed to the butchers' knives in the past five years. Without Billy and five others of his kind Chicago packers would be quite at a loss. Sheep soot in for slaughter must be gotten, is humane manner, from the pens to the place where they are killed. Can't Be Frightened To drive or frighten them up the runways would not be permitted under the law. Likewise such practice would race the blood and make the meat unfit. And so with all these things to cope with the packers hired Billy. They feed him well and he doesn't have to work very hard. Matter of fact he works only a little while in the morning. Just long enough to look fresh from train and recent pasture to the quick heaves that end it all. A long fierce bleat is Billy's cue. The sheep answer that call.

It is as though their cries for rescue had at least been heard. Longing is over in a few minutes—Just long enough for Billy to clear the slaughter scene and start the first sheep through the door THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME. which means death. At that door Billy jumps back to safety. It's only a routine task to Billy. Perhaps he would hang his head a bit if he could or wanted to. But as we said before, Billy has no concience.

SATURDAY.....APRIL 24, 1926 Many people, who praise God are mighty slow about serving Him. You cannot win by shirking work or by neglecting your duty to your family. They areputting children's dress upon women and charging women's prices for them. Some people deal with religion just as they would with any other business. They are in only for the money that they can get out of it. Faith in God is all right, but it is vitally necessary that you have faith in yourself, if you wish to, win in this world or if you desire to succeed in reaching the other. If you will read history with your eyes wide open you will note that history is repeating itself. We are now reaching the peak of wrongdoing, immorality, hypocrisy and easy living. The "wets" and the "drys" are spending the people's money at Washington in useless discussions. Both sides are well provided with funds. The latter side has the United States Government to back them. They are saying now that the people will not vote. When they did vote their wishes were nullified and they are now permitting the "flannel-mouthed" politicians to wreck the country. BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION. A decision handed down by the United States District Court of Appeals in the case of John Henderson, a well-known colored citizen of this city recently with Judge John J. Parker, would seem to indicate that at last we are going "back to the Constitution." Upon the first hearing, the court ruled against Henderson and sustained his conviction, but the Supreme Court of the United States had in the meantime handed down another opinion vitally affecting this case and a rehearing was granted John Henderson with the result that the decision of the lower court has been reversed. Two decisions of national significance were handed down by the United States District Court of Appeals here yesterday. One was a reversal of an antinarcotic act conviction of an aged Richmond negro, wherein Judge John J. Parker reaffirmed the ancient common law maxim that "every man's house is his castle" in deciding that, because evidence was secured by unlawful search of defendant's house without a search warrant, it was erroneously admitted by the district court here, from which appeal was noted. The decision is expected to have great effect in prohibition cases, as it is not believed that former opinions by Federal judges have gone as far in interpreting the fourth amendment as a guarantee of individual liberty. And again: Whether an officer can search a house without warrant on the theory that such search is incidental to a lawful arrest was the point at issue in the Henderson case. Attorneys L. O. Wendenburg, T. Gray Haddon and Alfred Kirsch, of Richmond, represented plaintiff in error, and the case hinged on the legality of the search admittedly made without warrant by Federal Agents Woodside and Rocecicoliol Marked money for which cocaine was said to have been purchased was alleged to have been found in Henderson's residence, in the building with his small grocery store. The fourth amendment quoted by the court as a basis for the opinion follows: "The rights of the people to be secure in their persons, houses papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particular description of the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Judge Parker said in the opinion: "The great bulwark of individual liberty incorporated in the fourth amendment would be but a mockery if petty officers of the government were at liberty to disregard its provisions whenever, to procure evidence, they might see fit to arrest without a warrant upon a belief that a felony had been committed. In the Henderson case, the court held, the evidence had been "procured by means of unreasonable and unlawful search in violation of constitutional rights." It is gratifying information that this scandalous violation of vested fundamental rights is to cease, that a freeman is not to see the bulwark of the republic destroyed and the great principles upon which this ideal country was founded to be wiped out forever. We have lived in an atmosphere of the whirlwind rule of the majority with no respect for the rights of the minority. Constitutional law is founded for the specific purpose of protecting the inherent, fundamental rights of the minority. When this factis ignored and disregarded then we are living in a despotic realm and need only a yrannical Czar to complete our uim. MAN STUMBLES OVER OVER COAT, SKULL FRACTURED. NEW ORLEANS, LA., April 16.—A late spring and an overcoat are responsible for the fall of William O'Connor, 64 years old. O'Connor has been an employee at the Trianon Theater in Canal Street for many years. He started for home and dinner Monday in a hurry. He was hungry. The patrons of the darkened show were startled from their seats by a resounding crash on the stairs in the rear. They craned necks and moved from their seats. Police explained that O'Connor ripped on an overcoat he was carrying and fell headlong down the stairs. He was treated at Charity Hospital for a probable fracture of the skull. Melissa Towns, It Develops, Was Worth Many Thousands. HENDERSON, N. C., April 16.—A large estate belonging to Melissa Townes, of this city, who died about a year ago, and amounting to $31,-916.42, was brought to light in an action of the City Council at its regular meeting last Monday night, in which steps were taken to list and collect taxes upon the unlisted property of the dead woman for the years 1921 to 1925, both inclusive. Tax officials of Vance County are also moving to levy upon the property, most of which never was upon the tax books. It was estimated at the meeting last Monday night that the city would realize approximately $1,500 out of the collections, and the county will get more than that, if it presses its case. The estate came to light in the filing of a statement with the clerk of the court by the administrator, in which was listed $25,663.46 on deposit in cash in the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham, a negro bank; $1,899.96 cash in the Citizens Ban kand Trust Company of Henderson; and houses and vacant lots in and near Henderson valued at $4,350.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, 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. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

SIX This Week By Arthur Brisbane PLANES VESUS MOSQUITOS PRACTICAL JAPAN ALWAYS 2,300,000 SICK SUZANNE'S FAMILY The marines at Quantico, Va., will fight mosquitoes this Summer with flying machines. Commander McLean will scatter from planes sawdust soaked in water containing a little arsenic. It isn't strong enough to hurt humans, birds, fishes—in fact, it's a good tonic for them. But it will destroy mosquitoes in swamps, creeks or stagnant water instantly, just as a slap that does not hurt your cheek kills the mosquito. The Government ought to be doing that work everywhere. To rid the entire country of mosquitoes would be worth fifty times the national debt. It is said that the Reckefeller Foundation, which seeks to PREVENT DISEASE, rather than to cure individuals, may try the flying machine mosquito attack. If successful, it would end yellow fever and malaria FOREVER. While others talk the practical Japanese go straight ahead. Recently they completed a gigantic, long distance bombing airplane, so big it took seven railroad cars to carry it. Yesterday Japan added to her powerful fleet a huge submarine of 2,000 tons, with all the latest devices, including heavy guns, a war submarine able to cross any ocean, able to carry and release flying machines. While the United States solemnly discusses beer and the right of citizens to select their own beverages, Japan attends to things more important. Chinese doctors are paid when their patients are well. No pay when they are sick. If Uncle Sam could arrange that for his children he would save money. Every Stars That Shine A Here are the big guns of the account of themselves in the first book made gallant bids for fame, but names of Ruth, Johnson, 'Cobb and Perpetual Motion? AUTOCASTER Garabed T.

Giragrossian of Boston has invented an "unlimited energy" machine which he claims can drive aircraft and ships unnumbered times across the ocean. Congress has consented to look at his apparatus, which is the first time an inventor has received such recognition. day there are 2,300,000 sick people in the United States. Allow $5 for each lost working day in these high wage times, and the total would appreciably reduce the national debt. Worse than the loss of wages is shortening of life. Colds, that people neglect or despise, weaken the system permanently, and cut so many months from your life at the far end. Science proves that canned vegetables retain their full quota of vitamins. This has been known for a long time to doctors that gave canned tomatoes to infants in public institutions, unable to afford fresh orange juice. The juice of the tomato is rich in vitamins, which makes it important to include a well-made tomato soup or canned tomatoes, stewed, in the regular family diet. Rev. C. E. Wagner, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, says belief in immortality is growing feeble. He knows, undoubtedly, but the statement is amazing. What is worth while if hope of immortality be taken away? "The satisfaction of providing for your children, which is a kind of immortality," you may say. What satisfaction is that, if children in their turn are born only to die and forever remain dead? But immortality IS real. Matter and force are indestructible. Would the wisdom that controls this universe CONSCIUS-NESS, the light of the soul, to eternal death, while giving perpetual existence to force and matter? Suzanne Lenglen is to be married and every stiripiculturist, convinced that the race can be improved by scientific selection of parents, will be interested in the French champion's children. The happy husband-to-be is Jacques Brindejones Offenbach, grandson of Offenbach, who composed the music for the "Tales of Hoffmann," including the "O Belle Nuit, O Nuit d'Amour" song. Madame Lenglen's young man, inheriting his grandfather's talent, is a poet of ability. Suzanne Lenglen, with her marvelous coordination of mind, nerves and muscles, and her ardent temperament should have wonderful children, with the right father. On the other hand, the children may not even be able to play tennis. You can breed humans by any known rule. Season Stars AUTOCASTER baseball world who gave a good ties of the season.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. MEASLES. Do not get the idea that measles is a simple, childhood disease. Medical skill has conquered all of the acute, infectious diseases, except this really dangerous, epidemic thing. Measles runs a definite course if uncomplicated. It is better not to try to "break up" measles, unless you are fond of trouble. The chief measure in the treatment of the attack is nursing. Errors in nursing are responsible for most fatalities from the possible complication; Pneumonia may set in; Bright's disease may follow the attack; the eyes may be permanently damaged by too bright light in the sick-room----and so on. A very grave danger is, in letting the patient out of his bed before he has thoroughly recovered, —better be safe than sorry. Encourage the appearance of the eruption by giving abundance of hot drinks—all the patient will tolerate. Sometimes the diagnosis is in doubt—the fever high, the distress great. If there is a remote possibility of measles, do not do anything that would retard the eruption coming out, such as cold baths for the fever, or depressing medicines for pain or cough. Give abundance of cream-tartar and water during the febrile stage. Allow only soft or liquid diet. Nurse your patient and, if disease is uncomplicated, he will get well. Of course you will call a physician—that's the first thing to do, then, quarantine the case, and fumigate well after recovery.

For despite his immense fortune he scorns a limousine, preferring to ride to his office via the subway.

The One who Forgot BY RUBY M AYRES Coolidge Honors Rifle Champ THE MUSICIAN President Coolidge is pining a medal on Sam Moore, 18, of Newton- ville Mass., world champion rifle shot, who made 300 consecutive bits. BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER has lost his memory from shell shock on the front. Upon his return to London he will miss NAN NARABY, to whom he be- engared prior to going to engage with his friends, to return home and care for her and to stepbrothers Nan in touch with JOAN ENDICOT, in London, who suggests that she forget about *the apparent love of Peter's friend and fellow officer*. ARNOTT, with whom Peter is spending a leave for rest at home of Arnott's sister located near the Marrary estate. Joan is jealous and disgusted with the attentions of HARLEY SEFTON, money lender, who first met through Peter prior to his visit. Sefton, whom Peter also failed to recognize on his return has told Arnott that he him large sums of money and that it is entirely up to her wife he presses collection. Arnott, who have stopped in for tea with Nan. They are just leaving and Arnott has答应 to him call and take her to his home for a visit. **NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY** "VERY well," Nan said with sudden flippancy. "Any day you like—I shall be delighted." She purposely avoided shaking hands with Peter before the car started. The last glimpse they had of her as they drove away was her slim figure at the gate, with the three boys clamoring round her. The day after Arnett and his sister called at Leavenden, Nan met Harley Sefton in the wood. He wore the riding breeches and galters which he affected when he was down in the country, and he carried his usual crop. He liked to play the part of country squire when he was at Little Gadeden. Nan rose to her feet when she saw him, dropping the little sweet-scented flowers all around her, her face paling. He smiled delightedly as he raised his hat. "This is better luck than I hoped for—I was coming to call on you this afternoon." Her voice was unfriendly; she kept her hands behind her back. "I shan't shake hands with him, even if he offers to shake hands with me," she was telling herself determinedly. But Sefton did not offer; he stood flicking his boots with the hunting crop. "Did you pick those flowers to throw them away?" he asked after a moment. Nan glanced down to the scattered primroses at her feet. "Yes," she said defiantly, "I did." A half smile crossed his face. "That's rather unkind, isn't it?" he asked. Nan flushed; she watched silently while he stooped and gathered them together. "Why were you coming to see me?" she asked suddenly. He did not answer till he had picked up all the flowers, then he held them to her in a neat little bunch, but she drew back. "No, thank you." He did not look in the least offended. "That means that you will give them to me—a thousand thanks." I can put them in his button hole. Nan looked at him with flashing eyes—suddenly she tore the flowers from him. "I wonder you dare treat me like this," she said. "I wonder you dare even speak to me after what happened the other afternoon." Her eyes were furious. He regarded her serenely. "And what did happen?" he asked * smoothly. "Just a little plain speak. ing between two people who are both sufficiently wily wise to understand. Come, Miss Marraby, I want to be friends with you." "And I," said Nan, "would rather die than have you for a friend. I don't trust you, and I don't like you." The faintest little flicker of anger crossed his face. "That's almost a pity—seeing that I mean to marry, you," he said, calmly. Nan stared. "I am stronger than you," he said. "And I mean you to hear what I have to say. First of all—will you marry me?" "No." Nan's voice trembled with anger. She clutched at her courage with both hands. "I wonder you dare insult me," she R. J. SCOT "First of all—will you marry me?" said, in a queer, high-pitched voice. "Let me pass at once, or . . ." "Or you will tell your father and ask him to forbid me the house," he finished for her. "You have told me that before, and I told you to do so—I tell you so again—fetch your father, or we will go to him, and I will tell him that I have asked you to marry me, and you will find that he will be delighted." A motherhed sob broke from Nan. "You—cad!" she said, brokenly. Sefton frowned. "If I am, it's your fault. For your sake—well, I'm not sure that I couldn't become quite a decent fellow. I've been no saint, as you know, you would be holding yourself for care for me—even a little." He caught her hand, holding it fast. Nan did not move. She knew it would be useless to pit her strength against him. "I've known some fine women in my time," he said, with a touch of real emotion in his voice, "but I've never met one I admired as I do you. Marry me, Nan. . . . Marry me, and I'll let your father off every penny of the money he owes me." "I don't believe that he owes you anything—I wouldn't believe it if you swore it," she told him. She was breathless and trembling. Would I believe it if he told you?" he asked. "No," said Nan, violently. "And—and even if I did," she added, after a moment, "do you think I would sell myself to you, to pay an extortionate debt to which I don't suppose you're really entitled?" He bent suddenly, peering down ```markdown ``` into her flushed face. "But—supposing it was to save—someone else!" he asked. Nan's eyes dilated as they met the subtle meaning of his. "What do you mean?" she whispered. "You know what I mean—you need not look so innocent," he answered, brutally. "You haven't lost your memory as Lyster has—or as he pretends to have done; you know quite well what I told you the other afternoon. Well, I'll be magnanimous—I'll throw Lyster's debt in with the marry me, and I will wipe them both off, but if you don't—" "I if I don't," said Nan. He let her go; he even drew back a step. "If you don't," he said, "I'll go straight to Lyster and tell him the truth." "Tell Mr. Lyster?" she stammered. "Why—why, you must be mad! What do you mean? What are you going to tell Mr. Lyster?" "mean what I say. I shall tell Lyster. He loves me money—and make him pay." Nan almost laughed; she had been thinking something quite different from this. "Such a threat doesn't frighten me," she said; her courage was coming back. "It's nothing to me whether Mr. Lyster owes you money or not; but I know him well enough to know that if he does he will pay him a special penny of it." Softon laughed disagreeably. "You think so? Well, I hope you are right." Nan raised her head proudly. "And now, if you have quite finishes, kindly let me pass." "But I have not finished—there is a great deal more I have to say. Nan, I'm a rich man—I can give you everything you want; I can look after those brothers of yours and give them a start in life. I can put you in a position to make you somebody in the world." Nan listened apathetically. When he stopped speaking she looked him squarely in the eyes. "I don't care to be somebody in the world," she said. "And I have had all the happiness I ever want—thank you." "You mean—Lyster! Very well, then it will no doubt be a great kindness on my part to go to him and tell him what he—pretends to have forgotten"—the pause was deliberate—"that you were once engaged to him—that he once imagined he loved you devotedly, and that the engagement was never broken until he came back to England and you were forgotten. You see, I have guessed rather more than you told me that day when we came down from town together." "You can tell him what you like—it is of no interest to me." She made a movement to pass him, but once again he barred her way. There was an angry light in his eyes, and a note of impatience in his voice. "No interest to you—sh? Well, she shall see. I am pretty good at wording, I must choose, and I think I can tell Lyster a very story of a girl who is broken-hearted at the unfailfulness of her love—of a girl who . . ." He stopped short—Nan was crimson; for a moment he thought she was going to strike him, then she shrugged her shoulders. "You're not worth arguing with," she said, cuttingly. "I have waisted too much time here already. I forbid you to ever speak to me again—do you hear?" He laughed. "You forbid me! That is good—as if a woman could ever pit her will against mine—see . . ." With a sudden quick touch he heaped arms-before she could stop him he had bent her head back against his shoulder, and was kissing her white face. Nan fought him with the frenzy of despair; but she was a child in his grasp, and her strength would have availed her nothing had not a crackle in the undergrowth broken the silence, and the next moment Peter Lyster was facing them in the narrow footpath. Harley Seton let Nan he was flushed, but he met Peter's eyes composed enough. For a moment nobody spoke. Nan was trembling in every limb. (He Continued.) PEN POINTERS The farm population of the United States decreased 479,000 last year. That's about the same figure as the gain Florida made. One Chinese army has agreed to sell Peking to the other for $50,000. Watch the papers to see if the gage in Chicago follow up this idea.
