THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia's State Library PROMINENT MAN IS CHARGED WITH VOLUME XLIV, NO. 9 PROMI IS CHA JAMES FAULKNER IS ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE-DENIES GUILT RELEASED ON $2500 BAIL BOND. FRENDS TO THE RESCUE. The arrest of James Faulkner, a well-known progressive citizen of this community, who resides at 712 N. Fifth Street, Monday, December 27th upon a warrant sworn out by a white police woman officer created something of a sensation, as the charge was unlawfully, assaulting and raping one 'Banche Moore, a colored domestic of South Richmond, Faulkner strenuously denied the charge and he was bailed when first arrested in the sum of $1,000. When the case was heard in the Police Court, Judge Ingram increased the bond to $2,500. The girl gave her age as 13 years. ADULTERY CHARGE MAGNIFIED Some difficulty was experienced in raising this account until January 1, 1927, when he was released from jail, when he had been committed to fact seem to be that Faulkner is charged with taking a rooming house with the girl with her consent and I accused to have paid her $1.00. The complaint of the officer seems to be that the girl was under the age of consent hence the seriousness of the charge, which places it in the category with murder. Mr. Faulkner's friends are rallying. He has secured the services of Attorney George F. Wise with Attorney L. O. Wendenburg and the case will come up again in the Police Court on the 17th inst. A PROMOTER OF BUSINESS Mr. Faulkner remodelled the house adjoining the Fifth Street Baptist Church and sold it to the Church later. Then he purchased another house across the street and remodelled that it, being one of the most attractive in that block. He is engaged in the automobile taxi service and is also conducting other business. His friends scout the idea that he could be guilty of the crime of rape. It is understood that other witnesses are available and their testimony will relieve Faulkner of this bideous charge of criminal assault. THE OTHER SIDE. A visit to Police Headquarters and a conversation with the famous Chief of Detective Headquarters A. S. Wright disclosed the other side of the case. Captain Wright stated that the report as made to him was that a colored woman accompanied by her granddaughter arrived at Broad Street Station from North Carolina. She wanted to go to an address on East 101th Street in South Richmond and she so stated to a red caporter. He called James Faulk per a uniformed chauffeur. . SECURED EMPLOYMENT Faukner took the woman and her granddaughter and the luggage to the South Richmond address and left the grandmother there, but he took the girl away with him, stating that he would get her a job. He did not return and the grandmother became uneasy, being almost hysterical, thinking that some misfortune had overtaken her granddaughter, whose name is Beachy Moore. She reported the matter to the police, giving the age of the girl as 18 years. AT WESTBROOK SANITARIUM. Captain Wright and his assistant got busy and the red cap was found, also James Faulkner. It was found that Faulkner had taken the girl to Westbrook Sanitarium, where he had obtained a position for her for a short time as a substitute for one of the servants. Miss Ruth Sanders the popular policewoman interviewed Beachy Moore. The girl, who is a plain, country lass, stated that Faulkner took her in the country and assaulted her twice. Thereupon a warrant was sworn out against him charging him with rape. Officers T. G. Walton and G. Z Parker executed the warrant. The girl and her grandmother are now at the South Richmond address. DR. LYMAN B: TEFFT, FORMER HEAD HARTSHORN MEMORIAL COLLEGE BURIED IN RHODE ISLAND FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THE FOUNDER OF HARTSHORN MEMORIAL COLLEGE. PROVIDENCE, B. I.—Cranston St. Roger, Wives Baptist Church, of Providence, Rhode Island, old in history and in philanthropic services was the scene of the funeral services of Dr. Lyman Beacher Tefft, who departed this life, November 29, 1926, at his home 221 Oaklawn Avenue, Mesheantic Park, R. I. The Pastor, Rev. H. H. Hayes had charge of the funeral services With the Pastor on the platform were Miss Ada C. Baytop, General Secretary, Southern Branch, Y. W. C. A. Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, Va.; graduates of Pa. təthon College; Dr. W. H. Hughe of Richmond, Va., and Dr. David Mullison the present President of Hornhorn College. After the Scripture lesson and prayer by the Pastor, Mrs. Wood sang, "A Homeless Stranger Amongst Us, Usame" one of Dr Tefft's favorite songs. The eulogies of the life of Dr Tefft were given by his Bar top spike first. She said in part, "I came not here to talk, for we do as no avail in the presence of a life like this. As we stand before a great mountain whose top pierces the blue-silent; as we look across the broad expanse of the ocean silent, as we look upon a magnificent sunset with all its glorious beauty, silent, so we stand before this glorious life-silent. I came because I loved him while he was a tenant of this mortal flesh, and I shall love him in the new spiritual life which no one is and shall be a person. And he has not a soul in the boys and girls of Roger Williams University, and the girls of Hartshorn Memorial College and then their children and grandchildren in ages to come. Dr Hughes, who was attendant physician at Hartshorn College during a part of the administration of Dr Tefft spoke next. He said, in part: "We came from our Southern homes on this occasion as a representative of a group of people whom Dr Tefft loved, and for whom he inhaled for a number of years. No encomium from our lips can add anything to the splendor of his life. We come simply to lay a flower on his bier, because "First—When we were hungry, he fed us; when we were thirsty, he gave us drink; when we were naked, he clothed us; and when we were sick and in prison, he visited us. Second—Because of his devotion to our cause; because he opened more widely the door of hope to our people and at his feet we learned to "Forgive those who despitefully used us." Third—We come because our life embodied our conception of the Life of Christ. The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man in his life was not as sounding brass or as a tinkling cymbal. "Fourth—We come because he loved us and lived in our hearts. Fifth—We come because we loved him. Sixth—We feel warranted in saying that Dr Tefft laid down his life for his friends, and greater love then this hath no man. "To espouse an unpopular cause, such as that of the Colored People of the South when he did, was to lay upon the altar ones life. What distinction, as the world calls it, might he not have achieved? Being above want, having a mind highly trained, living in a day when ambition beckoned onward and he chose to eat with publicans and sinners as his Lord had done before. In losing his life for his Master by spending himself for others, he found life, and that more abundantly. The dusky children of the Southland, whom he loved and who loved him, will reproduce his life in godly fear and service and hand down to generations yet unborn the hallowed memory of this saluted man. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." After this Mrs. Wood sang, "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Mrs. W. T. Johnson, representing the Alumnae Association, said in part, "I have come from my home RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927. in Richmond, Va., not only to pay my tribute of respect to my friend of many years, but also to represent the Alumnae Association. Were it possible, each member of the Association would be present here on this sad occasion to express their appreciation of this servant of God, Dr. Lyman B. Tefft, who labored with us and for us in Hartshorn Memorial College for 29 years. Truly his work with the women of my race was a work of sacrifice. Not only was his work and influence felt in the school in which he labored, but it was felt throughout the community and throughout the State and other States, wherever the young women who have been trained under his Christian influence cast their lot, even to Africa's distant shores. Did we love Dr. Tefft? Yea, we addressed him. We loved him as a father. None knew him but to love him. None named him but to praise. Each year the members of the Alumnae Association tried to express their appreciation for his wonderful work by sending to him some token of love. We wanted him to know that he was not forgotten by us Mrs. Johnson closed her remarks with this verse: "Servant of God, well done, Dr. David Mullison President of Hartshorn College said that he wished he had and the privilege of knowing Dr. Tefft longer. He had met him only this Fall, but he said, I have found out that Dr Tefft built the buildings of the school to last. He made the plans himself and personally supervised the building of them. I found out something more. I found out that he built into the character and lives of those young women. Christian principles of life which were lasting. I have had the privilege of attending several conventions and wherever I find the Hartshorn girls. I have found worth while women, actively engaged in helping to better their communities. Before I left Hartshorn I appointed a committee to arrange memorial services for Dr. Tefft to be held at 2 o'clock and today they are holding that service at this time. Dr. Mullison extended his sympathy to those bereaved and especially to Miss Tefft and prayed God's blessings upon her. Hartshorn graduates present at the services were: Mrs. W. T. Johnson, Richmond Ma.; Miss Ada C. Bayton, Philadelphia, Pa.; Miss Nellie Calloway, New York and Dr. Bessie Tharps Moore, Indianapolis, Indiana. Mrs. Wood then sang, "Jerusalem My Happy Home." She poured out her soul in sympathy for the beavered as she beautifully sang these songs that Dr Tefft loved to hear. Rev H. H. Hayes made the concluding remarks. He said, "We may meet a large number of people, but only a few stand out. Only a few make an impression on our lives. Dr Tefft was one of those characters. When I came here six years ago and saw him sitting in front of me, I knew that he was one of God's Saints. in addition to what has been said. I would like to mention three things that stand out in the life of Dr Tefft. "First—His absolute conviction as to the power and worth of the Scriptures. Second—His absolute faith in the authenticity of the Scriptures and the way in which they were delivered. Third—His loyalty and devotion to the cause of Jesus." Rev Mr. Hayes closed with a poem entitled "Dust as Jesus Leads." The floral tributes were many and beautiful, the largest and most beautiful coming from the Faculty and Student Body of Hartshorn College and also the Hartshorn Alumnae Association. A large number of friends were assembled at the church for the funeral services. Among other out-of town friends were Mrs Anna Moore Foster of Norfolk, Mass; Miss Leola B. W. Burton, Central Falls, R. I., both former teachers of Hartshorn College; Mrs Hattie Toffe Church, Ungsville, Conn.; Mr. G. W.

January list, was a signal success and reflected credit upon the officers and members of the Emancipation Celebration Association and the citizens of that city. Dr. Thomas, the president of that association demonstrated great ability in planning and executing such a creditable program.

All of the members were conspicuously uniformed in white and green, and made a great impression on Newport News for our order.

DURHAM BUSINESS MAN MISSING; FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED W Gomez Left Home for Short Trip--Not Seen Since Dec. 18 (Preston News Service.) DURHAM, N. C., January 6—W. Gomez, one of the leading business men of this city, secretary and manager of the Bankers Fire Insurance Company, and connected with many other business and financial organizations here, has been missing since December 18, causing his business associates and family to fear he has been the victim of foul play. He left on that date on a short business trip to Washington, D. C., reaching that city and visiting his foster son there. Since that time he has not been seen, telegraphic inquiries to several northern cities failing to locate him. An audit of his books showed them entirely satisfactory, officials of the companies with which he was connected, report. He had no financial or family troubles that would cause him to want to leave, so far as can be learned. A nationwide search is being made for him, his business associates and family leaning toward the foul play theory. GET GITS THIRU INVSTMENT BY W. W. FULLER OF LEGACY LEFT BY HIS SERVANT. FAYETTEVILLE, S. C.—Forty ante bellaum Negroes, all that are left here, were the first participants in the annual distribution of the James McAllister Christmas Fund, established last May by Williamson W. Fuller, of Briacliff, N. Y., former counsel of the American Tobacco Company. Mr Fuller established the fund in memory of Jim McAllister, a house servant in the Fuller home before the Civil War, with the proceeds of property willed to him by the Negro. "When I have been in trouble or needed help or advice," said Jim in the will which was signed with his mark, "I knew where to turn; and Mr. Willie never failed me; may not need my little home; I pray not, but he will know better what to do with it than I; and in this I want to show my appreciation of what he has done for me." "Mr. Willie," who has a house and a farm at Braricliff, didn't need it, and he had an idea regarding what to do with Jim's property. He sold it. for $5,000, bought Bothelem Steel 75 and created a trust fund to be administered by three Fayetteville business men every Christmas for the Negroes of this city. The trustees chose ante bellum Negroes to receive the first gifts. Thomas Staples Fuller, son of Mr. Fuller and his successor as counsel of the American Tobacco Company; Mr. Fuller's grandson, W. W. 2d, and his granddaughter, Margaret, were here and saw the old Negroes gather in the director's room of a local bank and smile their thanks as each received his "Christmas gif."

And the men have the same habit. Most women believe in dress, and many men admire the women, who believe in dress, provided these women are not their wives and they are not required to "foot the bills" at the fashion stores. Many women find out just what they want only when their husbands let them know what they do not want them to have. Hooked up ma trinomial teams as a rule pull in the opposite direction. If you do not believe it, get "hooked up." Women wanted to vote as long as they thought men did not want them to exercise the right of franchise. As soon as the men agreed and gave them the right to vote, most of them find that the election day is a good time to do housework or to go shopping. A GREAT RECOGNITION The burial of Arch-Bishop Denis J. O'Connell. Wednesday, January 5. 1927 from the Cathedral of Sacred Heart in this city constitutes an event that will long be remembered by those of us who noted the special consideration shown the colored people connected either directly or indirectly with this great Church. Through the intervention of Right Reverend Joseph B. Glenn, the colored people were accorded front seats at this most gorgeous funeral that has been witnessed here for many a day. The colored children from St. Joseph's Catholic Church, as well as the communicants were given front seats, while hundreds of white children and other communicants willingly stood to make room for them. The colored Boy Scouts, from Bell Mead School at Rock Castle, were accorded the post of honor, constituting an escort to the remains from the Cathedral to the funeral car and then from the Cathedral to the open grave at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. You may say what you will but these manifestations show that a great change has taken place and is still taking place in the dealings with the colored people of this section and country. The hands upon the dial plate of progress are steadily moving in the direction of the colored folks. Our Catholic colored neighbors have been especially fortunate in the type of religious men secured from the priesthood in dealing with their interests. From Hannigan to Glenn is not a far cry. Certainly God has heard our appeals and even today is aiding us and He indeed is "wiping all of the tears from our eyes." COLORED PEOPLE ATTENTION!

Our Many Y Conduct All Funerals in a Most E More However by I corporating a heir Under tending 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 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.

As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the attacks of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimine self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

Thirteen years ago twelve 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. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before 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 pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

British Columbia, the Big Game Paradise of America ```markdown ``` This Week By Arthur Brisbane GOOD NEWS. CANALS, CROPS, PROSPERITY. WE ARE HOMOGENOUS. ALL ALIKE. It's really a prosperous country we live in, and the prosperity has only commenced. Arthur Reynolds, able Chicago banker, says our prosperity will last through 1927. It will also last through 1927 and beyond, if we give it a chance, really, work and do not cheat each other too much. Revised Government reports on crops put corn for this year at two billion six hundred and forty-five million bushels, wheat at eight hundred and thirty-two million three hundred and five thousand bushels—and forty million bushels of rye, forty-one million bushels of rice, eighteen million six hundred and eighteen thousand bales of cotton, thirty-three million nine hundred thousand boxes of oranges, etc., and you have a slight idea of prosperity means. And unlike oil, those crops are not exhausted, but go on forever, increasing. Land in France planted to wheat for centuries produces more bushels per acre now than it did 200 years ago. The city is that when farmers have big crops they get small prices. Combination sales and voting could help that, but farmers do not yet know how. Other good news for all Americans is this: "The lake cities will be connected with the Mississippi, the Gulf and all ports of the world by navigable waterways through legislation that should pass this British Columbia JOE SARTORI AND HIS MOOSB Where is the big game country? Where can men get far enough away from civilization to return with spots sufficient to satiate their hunting instincts? These two questions are asked each year by many who long to enter the big game country. These questions are answered by Capt. Frank Dougres and Joseph J. Sartor, of Brooklyn, New York, who for sixteen years have dined in Canada and proved in big game country. These two well-known hunters and guides, Glen Walters and the Indian game keeper Williamson, began their treak trail north at Ainsworth, Stirling Columbia, where they left the Campsite, northway and started in the new mining expedition, going over the routes to reach the Carrion Country. Part of this journey has used over the famous "Carrion tree" only in the days of the best road ran. A good distance was traversed on four and when possible motors were used. A man in a black shirt and hat holds a large animal's head. The animal's ears are fluffy and its face is partially visible. The background is a blurred image of a forest or park. Winter. And a canal from the lakes to the Atlantic also seems probable if an agreement can be made with Canada for joint use of the St. Lawrence. The right plan would be an all-American waterway, from the lakes through New York State, and that will come. But it would cost five or six hundred millions more than the low cost of the St. Lawrence canal, which probably will come first. Farmers are deeply interested in these canal projects, for which Secretary Hoover deserves greatest praise. He is a worker. The canals will cut an average of twelve cents from the freight on export wheat and add twelve cents to the farmers' price. Harnessing the Colorado River seems not far away, thanks to a number of earnest men, including Senator Hiram Johnson, Secretaries Work and Hoover, and others. The remaining difficulty seems to be arranging an agreement between California and Arizona. The dam would be in Arizona, a great part of the power and irrigation would be used in California. The prosperity of one State is reflected in all States. California cannot thrive without benefiting Florida and Maine. Arizona, the great State of copper, cotton, citrus climate and the Colorado, will prove itself the State of brotherly conciliation. The thing designed is to use the country's wealth, water and power especially, and thus build up the entire nation. Arizona will not unwisely withhold from development and use that which, at the moment, she herself cannot use. This is written on the writer's eleventh trip across the continent in fourteen months. The offender you cross, the more uniformity of life and manners in America amazes you. The young man in semi-balloon trousers, left in New York, you find again in Chicago, Kansas City, Topeka, Gallup, Albuquerque, Barstow and tens of thousands of him in Los Angeles. Travel a short distance from the shores of Brittany to the mountains of Auvergne, in France, and you find language and clothes changed completely, also interests, habits and manners. Here, from Miami to Portland, we all know the same baseball and football scores, see the same moving pictures, wear the same clothes, get about the same wages. a, the Big Game Paradise DUDERA CAMERA) GUIDES RUPHIES GUIDES WITH TROPHIES Capt. Doudera stated that he was had "convinced this country is one of the greatest stretches of hunting territory in the world, and not alone from a game viewpoint but mount for beauty of scenery as well." One unusual incident of the trip wild was the advance of a caribon on that the hunters, despite having got it, their scars. The caribon came 28 miles north of the Mitchell River, and it may well name be that the caribon had no fear of man, or out of curiosity he wished also to get a closer view of this animal bags of which he knew nothing. Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. DRIED FRUITS Winter now being on, the human family may well consider the item of the best obtainable fruits for the dietary. * Fresh, native fruits are difficult to obtain at this season. Fortunately, we do not need to accept inferior substitutes; we have in dried apples and peaches, as well as prunes and apricots, not only the equal, but actually the superior of most of the fresh fruits that come to our tables. As an article of fruit diet, there is nothing finer than the old-fashioned, home-dried apple, which may be stewed, and partaken of three times a day, with the utmost benefit to the system. Preserved fruits, which are necessarily heavily sugared, are more difficult of digestion. The "dried-apple pie" seldom heard of any, is far safer to indulge in than many of the factory-made chemicals which are incorporated into too many of the fashionable pies of today. Drying fruits, especially in the sun, does not remove anything of value from them. The watery content of the apple is taken away by evaporation in drying; the vitamins are left, along with the acids and bases peculiar to the variety of fruit dried. People who eat dried fruits in abundance are seldom afflicted with constipation, indigestion, ulcer of the stomach, and many nervous disorders—a statement which does not hold good when excesses of fresh fruit are taken. Dried fruits are in no way experimental; they are a time-tried, proven, preventive of disease. I have never been called to treat a patient suffering from an over-dose of stewed, dried fruits. Next Week DANGER SIGNALS adise of America had an unusually successful trip, "We shot moose with big spreads," Capt. Doudra nested, "three caribou with imposing antlers, four mountain goats, four large wolves and four coyotes, besides many wild ducks and geese." A country that is so short a distance, in reality, the many trophies of the hunt in short a time, rightly deserves the name of the greatest big game country in North America. Griselia weighing half a ton are often begged in the Cariboo and Doudra and Sartorl shot at one, but the big yellow got away and saved his life. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Too Much Efficiency By E.J. W.J. Walth and Co. Rath Joy in Washington—Winter Is Here! THE FIELD IS FROZEN. BEGIN HERE TODAY JOHN W. BROOKE, hardware magnate, widower and father of three grown children, has been away from home several weeks after the death of his efficiency experts to put his Fifth Avenue mansion on an economic basis. He failed to consider the consequences of his death, Billy and Alice at the mercy. H. HEDGE, efficiency expert, assigned to carry out the con- firming of the con- losing battle until Hedge falls in love with Constance. Col- cident with their engagement records, the records records accumulated. In the Brooke library and cancels all regulations made in the name of English Mining Company, it possible to approve the regenerated Hedge. All join to prepare for war, extend aid for the celebration tonight. Constance is phoning friends while Hedge is calling the caterer, decorator, and other necessary individuals to provide the celebration. Billy has just reported for duty. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "NOW, Bill," said H. Hedge, "you never worked for me before, and this is your last chance. Dump a barrel or so of gas into that foolish jitney of yours and stand by for orders. You may have to go a hundred miles a minute, so here's money to pay your fines." He jammed a roll of yellow bills into the hands of Billy, whirled him about, and propelled him from the room. Then he seized the desk 'phone. For the next fifteen minutes H. Hedge was a conversational volcano. He spouted vehement words until the transmitter fairly quivered. 'How many? Oh, be ready for two or three hundred anyhow. Walters, everything! How much do I want to spend? Don't be silly. I want the whole works, and it's up to you to see I get 'em. Make believe it's for royalty; there'll be a queen here anyhow. Winof! Of course, any- thing, everything! - you think I'm running—a hash house? You have deeds? Right. I'll have it there in half an hour. Now hop off the wire. I've got to talk to somebody else.' He never paused to take breath. "You say you've decorated this house before? You're wrong, old man; you only think you did. You mean you trimmed it. I want it decorated. You got six hundred dollars for the last job? Well, you're going to get fifteen hundred for this, and if everything isn't all set by nine o'clock I'll come down there and throw bombs through your greenhouses. Yes, you need a post, too. No snail shell out the begonia and the potted palms and the flower bowers. Do I want roses? I said I wanted this place decorated, didn't I. I want everything from roses to rubber plants. Get it into your head that this is a desert and that you're-Luther Burbank. Ring off, Luther." H. Hedge was assuredly tireless. "Send somebody to the phone who can talk United States. I want the boss; I don't want the guy that saw the big fiddle. Hello—ah, good. I want a couple of orchestra. Yes—two. Can you get the Metropolitan Opera bunch? No? Why, I could do that myself if I am a time. Have 'em at the job at nine o'clock. What'll they play? All the latest dance dirges, friend. For how long? How do I know? I may have 'em here playing for breakfast. They're here until I blow the whistle. "Would I like a lady harpist? Sure I would. Tell her to trot right along. I leave it to you. If you say hand-organs, it's hand-organs. But the Lord help you if you throw me down. Selah! Yes—that means byly." From telephoning H. Hedge turned to the writing of checks. He was still at it when Billy Brooks returned to announce that his car had been vitalized again. "Take these checks to these ad dresses, Bill," commanded the ex-friendy man. "They're deposits. Let's see; it's two o'clock. Take 'em to the bank first and get 'em certified. Don't mind, do you, old man?" Billy grinned. "Let's shake again," he said. The shock. "And E. E.-you're going to be awful good to Connie, aren't you?" H. Hedge gripped Billy's fingers until their owner winced. "Bill," he said, "I'm going to be awful good—but not good enough. Nobody could be good enough to Connie. I'm only a poor human boo, after all." "You'll do," said Billy. "And E." R. J. REON 25 "I want everything from roses to rubber plants!" E—some time I want you to teach me that straight left—the one you handed Tommy Tremdwell." "I'll demonstrate it right now if you don't rust with these checks, son! Burn the road, Bill. It's Connie's party." The retired efficiency engineer was sitting back in a swivel chair, with his feet on the desk, smoking placidly, when Constance appeared. "What gown do you want me to wear, E. E. I've been looking them over and I can't decide." "Gown! Holy smoke! I forgot your gown! Why, you can't wear any of those gowns, Connie. Not on your life! Walk." He rushed to the telephone and called a number. "Put the head gown-bulder on here," he commanded. "Ah—how do you do, madame? This is the residence of John W. Brooke. Miss Brooke—Yes: of course you know her. Well, Miss Brooke—Yes, yes! As I was about to say, Miss Brooke—oh, yes, yes! Now, Miss Brooke—one moment please. This is my conversation, madame, not yours. It's the most important course of the particular minute, and I will not be interrupted. "Miss Brooke desires a gown to wear this evening. Therefore, you will have every gown in your shop sent on here inside of an hour, in order that she may make a relation. And send a couple of tailors along to make necessary changes. "What? Maybe they're not tailors but anyhow you send 'em. Have 'em bring their own seissors and pins and all the customary tools. This is a rush job, but it has to be done right. "How's that? Oh, bunk! You call as many automobiles as you need and put 'em on the bill. Get these gowns here; that's all. What? Oh! Consider all apologies made—in French. Sure. Merci, madame. You are charming—magnifique! All to the world's that? All right? Sure thing you know; we are great friends in no time. Only get those gowns here, Hortense!" Constance had collapsed into a chair. "E. E," she gasped, "you are the limit!" "Well, that's the only way to talk to those gay Parisiennes, my dear. I bet you those gowns will be here in half an hour. Why, that kid is hating me in the boxes now?" "Kid! I'm fifty if she a day, and she's fat." "Never mind. She's human. She's so curious to see what talked to her that she's bringing the gowns up herself." There was more than a mere sound of revelry in the Brooke mansion; there was a pandemonium. H. Hedge had at last given a party that exceeded anything within the memory of Constance or Billy. What it cost, the young Brookes had not the least idea, although the probable magnitude of the expense stunned and a little startled Constance. As for Hedge, he had no more notion of the cost than they, and did not care. Perhaps he had wiped out all the records by scientific management; he rather hoped he had. He was certain he would never exactly know, because the records of his administration were in ashes. There had never been so much and such beautiful music, it seemed to the guests of the Brookes. There had never been such a supper. As for flowers, the house seemed literally to be built out of them. And, to add the last touch of magnificence, particularly in the eyes of H. Hedge, Constance wore the kind of gown that only comes once in a lifetime. It was nearly midnight when a commotion in the front hall sent Hedge scurrying out to investigate. He returned in five minutes, grinning. Constance questioned him "just the old gentleman who is slightly out of his head," he explained. "He managed to make his way past the man at the door, and he won't go. He seems to have an idea he belongs here, and he become rather noisy when they tried to eject him." "The poor thing!" said Constance sympathetically. "What did you do?" "Telephoned for the police. It's the only right thing to do. They'll take care of him; probably send him down to Bellevue for observation." "Where is he now?" "A couple of men are holding him out in the vestibule. He's making a rather embarrassing rocket. The funny part is, he keeps on saying he owns the house." He's dressed at H. Hedge, and her eyes slowly widened. "What does he look like, E. E." she asked in a whisper. "Oh, he's about medium height with a short gray beard. He's chunky built and has a deep voice, with a funny way of making gestures with his hands." Constance turned white and rose, unsteadily to her feet. "Oh, E. E.," she gasped, "do you know who that man is?" "You mean the old tad who's trying to break in?" "It's father!" Constance pushed from the room, leans forward. Hedge paralyzed in his tracks. It was far ahead of the day set by John W. Brooke for his homecoming. He propped his shoulders against the wall for a few seconds in order to steady himself while realization became complete. ```markdown ``` AUTOCASTER Russel C.
