THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. JAN 26 1929 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1929 PRICE, FIVE CENTS. REV. DR. F. W. WILLIAMS MEETS THE ISSUE Advises the Purchasing of Vacant Land Here (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I visited the Fourth Baptist Church last Sunday morning. Rev. Fendall W. Williams, D. D. was in the midst of his fervid oratory and for forty four minutes I listened to him without making my presence known to those near the rostrum. He was talking about peace, an admirable subject for a neighborhood, where Alderman Henry W. Woody had been working industriously to produce contusions and had succeeded "mighty well" in so doing. But Rev. Dr. Williams did not bring that subject up in his sermon. He was discussing the power of God unto salvation. WOULD PRODUCE PEACE He declared that true religion would produce peace, because it was of God and that the absence of religion would produce confusion for it was of the Devil. There could be no hatred, no confusion between true believers. He illustrated the need of the religion of Jesus Christ in everything. He declared that when President Wilson went to Europe and got the representatives of the various nations to sign a document without first praying; it had given only temporary peace for a state of war and confusion had existed ever since. AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE Rev. Dr. Williams moved that large audience by his eloquent soul stirring declarations. When he had concluded his extended discourse, the choir under Choir Leader Isaiah Carter sang soul stirring selections as the collection was lifted. It made an impressive scene. Rev. Isaac T. D. Ross sat on the right of Rev. F. W. Williams, facing the door and Rev. W. E. Brown on the left, while the large portraits of Rev. Evans Payne. D. D. and Scott Gwathmey overlooked the scene; INVITED TO SPEAK. As for us, an officer of the church came down and we were soon on our way to the front, where we were invited to a seat on the rostrum. Yes, I spoke. I had to express my satisfaction over the work of Rev. Dr. Williams. Then I took up the segregation agitation. Rev. Wil liams announced that he intended to organize a building and loan association, acquire the vacant land adjoining that section and erect attractive cottages for colored people instead of purchasing the ones occupied by white people in the neigh borhood, who want to go to the more attractive additions in white neigh borhoods. A LARGE BUILDING FUND He also announced that he was at work on a building fund of fifteen thousand dollars to be expended on the present church edifice. I felt at home here and the hearty greeting accorded me awakened old memories. I accompanied the attractive wife of Dr. Walter Brown to their fine, palatial residence about which Rev S. R. Orrell, the pastor of the East End Baptist Church had spoken at the Council Chamber. Dr Brown was home and then I learned that he had resided in this spot for about six years. In the Police Court a few days previous a white resident in that block told me frankly that Dr. Brown and his family were an asset rather than a liability to that section and other white neighbors agreed with him. A REMODELLED RESIDENCE. I went over to inspect Mr. Robert C. Scott's remodelled residence, but it was a case of "nobody home." I spent a few moments pondering over conditions and a few moments later had returned to my own abode on Shockoe Hill. Mr. E. G. Pride, a former Nich monder is now located in Rensselaer New York. He was a candidate for Justice of the Peace on the Jackson Ward ticket many years ago. We hope to be able to accept his invitation for us to visit him. WANTS IT TO KEEP COMING. ... Paces, Va. Dec. 26, 1928 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sr.: Enclosed please find two dollars ($2.00). Please let The Planet keep coming. You will hear from me again before very long.

William Atkinson, an innocent colored man was on his way home on Church Hill, when upon going up Venable Street shortly after twelve o'clock he was halted by one of a group of white men and told to walk in the street. In telling his story in the Police Court Monday morning, he said he thought the white man was joking. When he saw him pulling off his coat, he ran in the middle of the street, but mis siles were thrown at him. One of these struck him in the eye, nearly closing it. WHITE MAN IDENTIFIED. He could not identify the white man who struck him, but he knew the one who had pulled off his coat. The Police Department got busy and arrested Dan Maston. white. 22 years of age, a machinist who resided at 2303 Venable Street. The hearing was postponed until Tues day., when, an additional, white witness came forward and testified as to which one struck Atkinson. Judge John L. Ingram fined Maston $10 and placed him under a bond of $300 to keep the peace. Dr. Walter Brown attended Atkinson. Mr. John F. Brown, of West Duval Street has been confined to his bed for several weeks. A little improvement is noted.

Hundreds of thousands of trappers from all over the States and Alaska send their furs for grading and marketing to Chicago and to other fur-depts located on the sites of the old trading posts. One of the most extensive raw-fur receiving services in the world is maintained in eight fur-depts, by Montgomery Ward & Co., as a free service to the trapper. Hundreds of shipments of furs are received daily for grading and marketing at the eight posts, located in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Baltimore, Jand, New Orleans, Denver and Fort Worth.

Investigations as to the extent to which the schools have been used as a medium for distributing material by business and industrial corporations, and by organizations sponsoring various "ologies and isms." reveal that almost every line of business, and every theory of economics and government, has been paraded in the public schools through literature or lectures designed to interest and impress the students. In Cleveland, Ohio, for instance, a survey showed no less than 2790 different sources for material distributed through the schools. Farmland, the alleged "propaganda" activities of the public utilities but dealing even more directly with controversial issues such as public ownership and socialism, the schools and colleges are shown to have been used extensively by individuals and organizations preaching various theories of social and economic "reform." Among these it appears, have been the more aggressive Socialist organizations and public ownership leagues. An index of the extent to which educational institutions have been made a channel for public ownership doctrines is revealed by John Spargio former lecturer for the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, in a letter recently placed in the Congressional Record by Senator Walter, of Montana. Spargio tells in detail of the efforts made to instill the theories of socialism through the schools. Among the methods utilized, he says, was the hiring of lecturers and the supplying of material for texts and for school debates. and teachings of the knowledge and authority upon the latter." Spargo wrote, "for I, myself, having several years, was one of the authors of the intercollegiate Society, later to be transmitted into the League for Inductions, Demoney.

CWT among the wealth of typical American furs sent every day to the Ward receiving stations for grading and selling. There is no state in the union which does not produce some kind of American fur in increasing demand for commercial use, from wintry Maine with its fine eastern mink, to warm Louisiana, which produces more fur annually than any other state in the union. The muskrat, most common of all commercial furs, breeds in abundance in the swamps and bayous of that state. One of the greatest fur businesses in this country is done in rabbit skins. The chinchilla rabbit, the fawn, the snowshoe hare, the jackrabbit, and cottontail, rabbits of all kinds and sizes are in the greatest demand in this country. The thirty kinds of furs are made from these rabbit skins. The largest commercial use for them is in furs. As many as 25,000 rabbit skins have been received in a single shipment at Wards. The graders at each fur dut depot carefully check the valuation of each pelt. Then the furs are marketed by the mail-order house, at the highest price, and the check for the entire amount mailed to the individual trapper. A. B. ism could be best advanced through the schools and colleges. "For many years before any public utility publicity bureaus made the least effort to reach those channels, public ownership and socialism were being preached in American colleges, academies and high schools by paid lecturers and organizations maintained for the special purpose. These paid lecturers did not aim to present objective facts. They did not make the slightest pretense that they were aiming at anything other than converting the students to socialism, to belief in public ownership and all the economic and social changes that belief implies." With the issue thus drawn in the record, congress will be faced with the job of determining to what extent, if at all, the utilities were justified in combating the propaganda and teachings of the public ownership adherents, by similar methods in some field actions. In some fields, the use of public events is meted out to the utilities for the support of the theory of private ownership, a similar dose may be given those who led the way in using the schools to exploit the theories of public ownership and even of socialism.

During the World war, Dr. Alexis Carrel and Dr. Henry Drysdale Dakin succeeded in developing a solution for the treatment of wounds. The solution was the prophylactic and nonprophylactic treatment high germicaled. It is a remarkable antiprone solution for wounds. It would not "seep". Every day it had to be freshly made by experts. Its use, therefore, was required to hospitals and to the medical profession. In the practice of modern preventatives against dis- ease, it was necessary to find a way to preserve or stabilize the Carrel-Dakin solution. The public knows the stabilized form of the Carrel-Dakin solution as Zonite. Lord Dawson of Penn, physician to King George, was associated during the war with Dr. William O'Neill. Chairman, chief surgeon for the Carnegie Steel Company, of Pittsburgh, Pa. When the wound following the operation on King George failed to heal, and the royal patient became weaker day by day, the Carrel-Dakin solution was suggested to the King's physicians. The war-born antiseptic made by the electrolytic process of its manufacture, favored in the United DOCTOR LIONEL WHITBY THE BACTERIOLOGIST WHO MADE A BLOOD-TEST States, was sent by Dr. Sherman to the royal patient by special messenger. The application to the wound was made by the King's physician and immediately an improvement was noted in the condition of His Royal Highness.

THE DUKE BROTHERS. FARMERS IN JAPAN. Moosejay, Saskatchewan, gave a dinner to Ben H. Thomson in honor of his Holstein-Friesian cow, Canary Cordyke. They both deserved. The Saskatchewan Government bought the cow for $10,000. Canary is world's champion in butter fat and gives enough milk in a day to last the average family a month. In 305 days, this wonder cow produced 1,000 pounds of butter and 26,396 pounds of milk. Too bad there is no way of improving men's brains, as we improve cows' waders. Only time can do that. The average intelligence in the British House of Commons today, according to Lecky, is lower than the average of all the free men in Athens, 3,000 years ago. Science goes ahead, man stays about where he was, a little less brutal, a little less selfish. If Americans call President Coolidge "the silent president" what will they call Mr. Hoover?

Sometimes farmers succeed, but usually they must leave the farm to do it. Benjamin N.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1929 FACTS VERSUS FICTION We were dumbfounded at the recent meeting of the Committee on Ordinances to hear Rev. S. R. Orrell, pastor of the, East End Baptist Church make the statement that Negro leaders here were intruding themselves in the white sections of the city and were anxious to live in exclusive ne'borhoods. He went so far as to intimate and say that they desired to live on Monument Avenue. He cited that case of a Negro physician on Church Hill who had moved into a white neighborhood. Being a Christian and a leader of a white flock on Church Hill, we were astounded to learn that a gee teman of his intelligence and learning, and a follower of the good and lowly Jesus should have let, his Negro hating tendencies get the better of his judgment. On last Sunday we went over on Church Hill and found out that he referred to Dr. Walter Brown, an accomplished physician, who lives on the border line, so to speak between the white and colored sections. He had resided there six years, and in conversation with a white resident, he told us that if all of the colored people were like Dr. Walter Brown and his family there could be and would be no objection to them. He had been an asset and not a liability to the section. He said, that other white, neighbors agreed with him. We then found out that Rev. Fendall W. Williams D. D., the able pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church had taken the "bull by the horns" so to speak. He was in absolute accord with the position taken by the Planer and he was proposing the organization of a building and loan association to purchase the vacant land in the neighborhood and to build new cottages for colored people in this exclusive, colored neighborhood. This will give these white folks "a Roland for their Oliver." If they do not want us to live near them, we do not want them to live near us. Our aim is to build up Richmond and to have peace between the races. This cannot be done by legislation. As Hon. John Stewart Bryan has well said, it is a civic question. Our people work here for white folks and naturally desire to be as near as possible to their places of labor. Many of them rent the out houses in white residences on this account and many others live in attics. Those white folks who were not raised by colored folks and do not know either their value or their advantages are the cause of the trouble. As to racial integrity as an issue, this is a joke. The Police Department could give much information upon this all important subject. It has the job of keeping white men away from colored women, many of whom are insulted from week to week by white men, who have a kind of hankering after Negro women. A colored man beat up a white man a few weeks ago because of this and no complaint was made by the white man. He took his "medicine." We began thinking of the race leaders here. Mr. William A. Jordan erected a fine residence. Did he purchase a lot in the West End? He could have done so with about the same money. He went out in the neighborhood of the Negro Virginia Union University. Dr. James E. Jackson purchased a lot, not in the neighborhood of the Country Club (white) but out in the neighborhood of the Negro Virginia Union University. Dr. L. D. Blaney purchased a lot. Did he select one in the white section? No. He built a residence at an approximate cost of fifteen thousand dollars in the neighbor hood of the Negro Virginia Union University. Rev. William H. Stokes Ph. D. and his madame purchased a residence already erected. It was an old house occupied formerly by aristocratic white folks. Where is it located? In the neighborhood of the Negro Virginia Union University. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. decided to move from Eighth Street to a new home. Where did he go? In the neighborhood of the Negro Virginia Union University. There these leaders with others are grouped. It is a case of facts versus fiction. Yet this leader of the Cross, the follower of the good and lowly Jesus proceeded to misrepresent and slander one of the humblest and best natured people on the globe. It may not be today or tomorrow or the next day, but in due time right and justice will prevail in this land and conditions, which now confront and appall will change. We believe that God in His own time will make these crooked paths straight and then will come to us a full realization of the fact that He will "wipe all of the tears from our eyes." THE SOLUTION OF AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION. (Republished by request) The segregation ordinance as in introduced recently in the Board of Aldermen by Alderman Henry W. Woody of Jefferson Ward has caused much harm in that it has given to the people of the State and Country an erroneous impression of the relationship existing here between white and colored people. It has aroused the colored people in a way that nothing else could have done by causing them to be lieve that it is an effort to persecute and antagonize them... the success of the Jefferson Ward alderman in almost overriding and defeating the conservative judgment or some of our ablest and most influential white and colored citizens was a bad omen and it nearly ruptured the welded friendship and kindly relationship between the races, which has been the result of years or careful nursing and culture. What further steps should be taken in this matter? The impression created was that the colored people of this city were desirous of securing homes in exclusive white neighborhoods, that whenever oppor tunities presented themselves, they could readily be induced to purchase property alongside of a white family. Nothing could be further from the truth. No colored citizen here so far as we know would own a residence in Monument Avenue, adjoining a white residence. How can we dispel its impression? We are of the opinion that our people should call a halt and refuse to lease or pur chase any property in a block in which there is a white residence and no colored residence. . . . Let us stop paying high prices for wormout houses of white people, whose owners are desirous of pur chasing new, modern houses in one of the attractive additions which have been prepared for white residents here by white capitalists who are making thousands of dollars at the expense of the humble colored citizen, as well as the migrating white citizen. Let them be forced to seek white purchasers or tenants. When they find they cannot secure either, they will be in an attitude to respect the rights, titles and interests of the colored citizens without any racial feeling. There is another way to handle the situation and that is to require these white real estate agents, who have been inducing colored folks to purchase this property to first secure the approval of all white property owners in a block in which they purpose to sell this property Let this be the rule to be followed during the next two years and hundreds of white people will appear in behalf of colored folks' interests, who would otherwise oppose them. There is no need or attempting to regulate this situation by law. It is an economic situation and it cannot be regulated by law. There is still another remedy. Let us further reduce the colored population hereabouts by migration. Let every colored family who can do so move, to northern and western localities. There are thousands of acres of land. in California . adjacent to growing and progressive cities. We have consistently opposed this migration policy, urging colored folks to remain here. But where intolerance is asserting itself in the face of strained financial and industrial relationship it will improve the condition of those who go, and those who remain to bring this situation about. It is a fact that housing conditions for white residents have been in creased many fold, while those for the colored people have been limited to such houses adjacent to the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA C.

As a matter of fact, the occupancy of houses in the neighborhood of a white church does not impair its efficiency for service.. Only the prevailing exercise of race prejudice which is not combatted by the pastor and its officers can do this. Then the way to meet it is for the colored people themselves to exercise race pride and refuse to be used as "cats' paws" for designing white agents. It may be well to state that this racial division is now and has always been in the hands of white real estate agents They select the localities where white and colored people shall reside. They have property that they rent or sell only to colored people. The white property owners are the only ones to overrule this arrangement. It is accordingly cruelly unjust to penalize colored people for this and to create the impression that a "black cloud," so to speak, is overshadowing and threatening destruction to any group of white people in this community. Stop purchasing white folk's property that is not already purchased. Stop renting white folk's property that is not already rented. Move to northern, eastern or western sections of the country, when the opportunity offers. Two years will bring about a change, which will be as phenomenal as it will be remarkable. Let us have peace. ROANOKE NOTES. Rev. James S. Hatcher of Mt. zion A. M. E. Church preached at Sixth Street Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. The evening was well spent. Rev.

IT REALLY HAPPENED The young man has been inclined toward the Ministry all of his life. And when we say all, we mean ALL of his life. He cooled like a preacher called like one and out his chubby hands like one. Although it is important, Armstrong High School's institute, he graduated from there as a preacher, just the same. It seems that he has convinced every one that he is a preacher except the board of his church charged with the duty of licensing preachers. He has "strutted his stuff" before the brethren, but they haven't said a mumbling word about that license. At each meeting the young man is in guard outside of the meeting room, so that he may be the first in a waiting world to get notice of his license. The other nght after a long vigil he painfully witnessed, the brethren file out. The chairman got in a car and drove out. When he reached the place for his next stop he was frightened to see a form leap from the rear of the car. (He thought he was being held up.) To his surprise and relief it was only the young man, who asked "Have I been licensed?" (He had NOT.) The young man had jumped on the rear of the car, not knowing the destination in the hope of getting good news. He certainly showed one triet of the minstry—Faith, as HE KNEW NOT WHITHER HE WAS BOUND.

In fact, it is a library consisting of sixty-six books, divided into the Old and New Testaments. "How We Got Our English Bible," by J. Patterson Smyth answers many questions in the mind of every investigator. Beyond all human science this Book comes from God. Rev. F. B. Meyer, D.D., says, "Inspiration consists in the divine quality that inheres in the Bible." It is certainly different and superior to every othet. book and is well called the Book of books. One cannot claim to be well educated who is not conversant with the general content thereof. Dr. Meyer also states, "The best argument for the Bible is the character it creates," and William E. Gladstone declared, "The Sunday School is the world's greatest institution for popularizing the world's greatest Book." Read this Book through, and do so as often as possible. Then commit many chosen passages to memory. One of these will be the nineteenth Psalm, from which the first Scripture portion is taken today. If you wish to note many terms for the Scriptures read Psalm 119, where there is some mention in each of the 176 verses. In spite of its age the Bible is still the best seller each year in all literature, both modern and ancient. A very simple and yet most comprehensive statement is you will keep you from this Book: This book will keep you. Study carefully each of the following selected portions that are a part of this lesson. Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Joshua 1:8; 9; Kings 22:8-20; Nechemia 8:1-8; Psalm 19:7-14; Luke 24:25-32; Acts 17:10-21; 2 Timothy 3:14-17. The first reference indicates a portion that the Hebrew places in his mezuzah and phylactery. This Word has a place on his doorpost and it is taught to his children. The Jew has made an incalculable contribution in giving this Book to the world. Well does the Psalmist say "The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul." The Word was indeed law and its precepts were to be accepted and obeyed, for they are "right" (Psalm 19:7-8. Take the other descriptions in that Psalm—"pure, clean, true and righteous altogether." Paul in charging Timothy refers him to the "sacred writings" in which he had been instructed from his youth. Thereby "the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work."

Y., has been appointed director of aviation sales for the Detroit Steel Products Co. with headquarters in Detroit. The company manufactures airplane hangar doors which have been adopted for use at many of the large airports of the country. Sowdon is one of the American flyers who are now leading their experience to the commercial development of aviation as advocated by Colin Landis. Sowdon is a pilot of more than 2,000 flying hours to his credit, 500 of which he made during the war. He has flown in practically every type of plane, and has performed every known kind of stunt flyer. His early training came at the ground school at Cornell university and at Call Field, Wichita Falls, Texas. Later he served as pilot instructor at Call Field at Post Field, Fort Sill, Oklahoma and at Tallafere Field, Ft. Worth, Texas. For six years Sowdon has directed a force of 4 men and had complete charge of all planes and equipment for the New York national guard. His experience has given him a wide fund of technical knowledge pertaining to aviation industry. "Organize the training of aviation sales under Sowdon direction will enable the Detroit Steel Products Co. to keep step with the tremendous growth of aviation," said president V. F. Dewey. "During the coming year hundreds of new airplanes are planned in all parts of the Visible Records As Time Mark New Era In NEW YORK—instrument buying has made system in keeping office records the first commandment of business success.

Time Savers In Modern Business MODERN FILING METHODS SPEED BUSINESS Late "The blind card file was considered an efficient way of keeping records in the days when business was more deliberate, but the large business house that retained that method today would soon find itself weeks and even months behind in filling orders. Visible records enable clerks to do in six seconds what it would take them fifty-five seconds to accomplish with the old-time blind file. The costliest error many smaller business houses make is in retaining antiquated methods of keeping records. The information of from four to eight waste motions on the part of clerks in keeping records may mean the difference between business success and failure for the modern manufacturer or merchant, at a time when credit buying has given business generally a tremendous impetus." --- --- Now that we are learning to be well to devote a little attention of all arts, the Art of Pleasing.

Dr. Frank Crane Says Copyright © 1908 THE ART OF PLEASING Now that we are learning to do all sorts of things it might be well to devote a little attention to that most important art of all arts, the Art of Pleasing. It is an Art and not a Science. A Science you may learn out of a book. An Art takes practice. It is not a sin or moral something we are talking about, but just common sense and expediency. You want people to please you; then learn how to please them. Permit, therefore, a few hunches for inquiring minds on this matter. 1. Beware of egotism. In some form or other, that is what we dislike about everybody. Do not praise yourself, nor dispraise yourself, nor, in fact, talk of yourself at all. Habitual dispaise is a common form of disagreeable egotism. 2. Do not be tragic. Have a sense of humor. Most things do not matter. Nine things out of ten that are threatening disappear when you laugh at them. It is very disheartening to live with one who is perpetually tragic. 3. Cultivate a pleasant voice. Do not talk too loud, nor mumble so one cannot hear you, nor slur your words. 4. Be neat. Clothe yourself as well as you can afford. Do not have dark fingernails, frayed cuffs, towlsled hair, nor unclean shoes. Keeping clean is not egotism, it is a due regard for other people's feelings. Clean your teeth. Beware of halitosis. 5. Write plainly, one letter at a time with comfortable spaces between. 6. Do not be argumentative. Why argue? Most things do not matter. 7. Observe the little politenesses. Say, "I thank you" and "If you please." Get up when a lady enters the room. Take off your hat when you meet a woman. 8. When you are slandered or abused, say nothing, as a rule. People can respond to anything you say, but it's hard to answer silence.

Wipe off the nails over-freeely, bathe ccessionally with a edging lotion or arsenic. Best Mermaid AUTOCASTER Eleanor Holm of New York has been rated as the best all-round girl weight 101 pounds.

Old age is in reality a second child. L. The infant needs certain food-elements to sustain and produce growth; it will tolerate even more than is needed. But the aged need only sustenance, and cannot comfortably bear more food than that necessary to sustain life. Perhaps it is instinct that leads the old man to insist on the plainest, most nourishing, unstimulating diet. If grandpa insists on his corn-bread and milk, don't deny him; if he just must have roast potato, you need not call him a back number because he aldrons scalloped potatoes. If you cajole him into eating new-fangled dish with a little of everything in it, yet no real fuel for the waning fire, you may give him an alarming fit of indigestion away into the night. If he refuses shrimp salad, try him on graham mush! The oldest machine of today, was probably built out of the best material at the outset. It has lasted this long by being properly housed, its joints correctly lubricated, no overloads having been heaped upon it, and, having had the proper fuel for its engine. If you desire your (human) machine to last a long time, do nothing to hinder its normal action. It is easy to indulge appetites, but not so easy to rid ourselves of the effects of overindulgence. By giving your aged ancestor the food he likes, you are adding to his comfort and longevity, besides gathering desserts on yourself they are mighty to have; then, our dating is harmful at any age.

During the Great War, two scientists succeeded in developing a solution for the treatment of wounds, which was non-polonious and non-causeful, yet possessed high germicidal power. This discovery reduced infection of wounds in Allied hospitals from seventy-five percent to almost nothing, saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and has Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart While white linen damask is the classic cover for the formal dinner table, it is now quite permissible to use a tinted cloth in one of the soft pastel colors which harmonize with the design of the claima.

Phillips Oppenheim ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEN Second Installment Second Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Palermo is the genre. There an exile, Leonardo da Vinci, has come for love of Maurice Carcucio, who spurs him. He meets an Englishman, Love of Maurice, who falls in love with Adrienne on sight, and he marries his sister Margharita, less than his love for Adrienne is hope, but he pleads with her to arrange an accidental meeting, to say farewell, be tween Adrienne and him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY She laid her troubled, tear-stained face upon his shoulder. "It is wrong of me, Leonardo. Yet, if you will promise me to say farewell, and farewell only—— "like it so! I promise!" "Be well, then, each night we have walked past the Marina, and home by the mountain road. It is a long way sound and it is lonely; but we have Pierio with us, and on these moonlight nights the view is like fairyland." "And will you come that way home to-night, after the concert?" "Yes." "It is good." It was almost midnight, and Palermo lay sleeping in the moonlight. The concert was over. One by one the promoters had left the Marina, and all sound had died away. One man alone fingered drinking in the sweetness of the night. The Englishman sat on the last seat of the Marina in the shadow of a cluster of orange trees. He had seen her again—nay, more he had heard her sing—this girl nightingale, who had taken the world by storm. He sat dreaming, with a burned-out cigar between his teeth, and his eyes illly wandering over the blue Mediterranean. Suddenly the stillness was broken by the sound of a soft gliding footstep close at hand. He had heard no one approach, yet when he looked up quickly he found he was no longer alone. A man in the garb of a native peasant was standing by his side. Naturally the Englishman was a little surprised. He half rose from his seat, and then resumed it as he recognized the dark, swarthy face and black eyes of the waiter who had told him Adrienne Cartuccio's name. "Hullo! What are you doing here?" he demanded. "I was in search of the Signor!" was the hasty response. "For an hour I have sought him everywhere, and now it is by chance that I am successful." The Englishman looked at him with suspicion. This change of dress was doubtless for the purpose of disguise. What was the meaning of it? "Well, and now you've found me, what do you want?" he asked, watching him closely. "I will tell the Signor. Is it not that he has an admiration for Madeleine Cartuccio, the singer? Well, she is in danger! It is for the Signor to rescue her." The Englishman sprang up with sparkling eyes, and pitched his dead cigar into the sea. "In danger!" he repeated breathlessly. "Quick! Tell me!" The man pointed inland. "Do you see that belt of white road I leaing up into the hills?" "Have you noticed anything pass along it?" "There was a heavy cart or carriage and some mules, I think, by half an hour ago." The native shrugged his shoulders. "It was an hour, Signor, but no matter! Step back with me into the shadow of those olive trees. That is now. Now we cannot be seen, and I will explain." The Englishman beat the ground with his foot. "Explanations be damned!" he exclaimed. "Where is Mademoiselle Cartuccio? Quick!" The man held up his hands, and spoke more rapidly. "This evening I heard by accident of a plot to carry off Signorina Cartuccio by a rejected tutor. I hasten to inform the police, but on the way I pause. I say to myself what shall I get for my pains, and for the risk I run? Nothing! Then I think of the Signor. I watched his face when the Signorina pass by, and I say to myself he has the passion of her he will show him the face to ask he will be generous. He will win the lady, and he will reward poor Andrea." "That's all right. Tell me what to do, and I will give you fifty pounds—anything you like. Don't waste time. Speak up!" The man's eyes shone with cupidity. He went on rapidly. "The Signor is a prince. Listen Along yonder road, before many minutes have passed, will come the Signorina Carticuo with her friend, attended only by an aged servant. Men are waiting for them in the grove of orange trees above the Villa Fiolease. Their orders are to carry off the two ladies to the other side of the island, where a place has been prepared for them. For an hour I have searched for the Signor, that he might with a wounding case. The Englishman sprang up with sparkling eyes. [pocure aid, and so encounter these prigards, but in vain. I was in despair. "What no help! How many of the blackguards are there?" blackguards are there! "Four. Signor!" "Four, Signor!" "Natives?" "Yes, Signor." "And cowards. I suppose?" "The man smiled." "The tree ate not much bravery, Signor. I know the men." "I wouldn't have anyone else here for the world," the Englishman said, shaking his fist. "Does the Signor want a knife?" asked the man, thrusting his hand into his inner pocket. "Not I. I don't understand that sort of thing!'our country, my brave man. Fistcuffs will settle this little matter, you'll see!" The man looked up admirably at The Englishman sprang u the englishman's commanding figure and broad shoulders. "I think they will run away from the Signor when they see him," he whispered. "But let the Signor remember this: if one of them thirsts his hand inside he knock him down or wait one second—knock him down or follow his way. He will have the keffie, and they know how to use it, these brides." "Tell me the name of their leader- *Y* mean the fellow who is trying to carry off the Signorina. Will he be there?" The man shook his head. "I cannot tell the Signor his name. I dare not. I was once in his service, and he has powers—hush!" The two men held their teeth, keeping well their mouths of the orange glove. They had reached the road, and in the distance they could hear the sound of approaching voices. "I leave you now, Signor," whispered his companion to the Englishman. "I dare not be seen. To-morrow, at the hotel." He glided noiselessly away. The Englishman scarcely heard him, he was listening intently. Light footsteps were coming along the winding road toward him, and soon a laughing voice came from the back. "My dear Adrienne, don't you think we were a little foolish to walk home so late as this? See, there is not a soul upon the promenade." "Tant miuse!" was the light answer. "Is it not to escape from them all, that we came this way? The stillness is exquisite, and the night breeze from the sea, and the hot room, is divine, and we give the ship baggage, when we get to the top of the hill." "They say that this place is infested with robbers, and it is terribly lonely," was the somewhat fearful answer. "Why would you not let poor Leonardo come with us?" "Because I did not want Leonardo, chorie. Leonardo is very good, but he wearies me by persisting to dwell in a hidden subject; and as for protection—well, I fancy Giovanni is sufficient." They were passing him nw so close that he felt impelled to hold his breath. He had only a momentary glimpse of them, but it was sufficient. A few yards behind, a sullen-looking servant was trudging along, looking carefully around. In the white moonlight their faces, even their expressions, were perfectly visible to him; Adrienne rapt and absorbed by the still restful beauty of the dreaming night, and indifferent to all fear; her companion, whose dark eyes were glancing somewhat anisolously around her, and Giovanni's, whose wute looks, more curious, were watching him out to the Englishman as an accomplice in whatever devilry was unseen himself, he watched them pass, and listened to their voices growing fainter and fainter in the distance. They were out of sight and out of hearing. They were out of sight and out of hearing. He was preparing to follow them, when suddenly another sound broke the stillness. He held his breath, and crouched down, watching. In a minute, two dark forms, keeping carefully in the shadows by the side of the road, crept stealthily past. He waited till they, too, were out of sight, and then stood up with tingling pulses, but quite cool. Moving on tip-toe, he stepped lightly over the low stone wall into the road, and gazed after them. The ascent was steep, and the road curved round and round in zig-zag fashion. On one side it was bordered by a thickly-growing orange grove, whose delicate perfume was sweetening the still languid air. On the other was a stretch of waste open country, separated from the rooftops by a wide side, and keeping under the shadow of the trees, followed them, his footsteps sinking noiselessly into the thick dust. Once the two ladies paused to look back. He stopped too; and the two bending figures between them drew closer into the shadows, and waited. He was some distance away, but sound of her voice floated clearly down him on a breath of that faint air. Again they turned, and again he up with sparkling eyes. . . great bound. About fifty yards in front of the two girls was a rudely-built country carriage, drawn by a pair of mules and with a single man on the box. They had paused at each an unexpected slight and asked whether or no they should proceed. Before they had come to any decision, the two men had crept out from the shadow of the wall and trees into the road, and with bent bodies hurried toward them. He did not shout out or make any noise; he simply lessened the distance between him and them by increasing his pace. The two stooping forms, casting long, oblique shadows across the white, hard road, were almost level with their intended victims. Now the shadow of one of them crept a little in advance of the ladies, and Adrienne Cartuccio, seeing it, stepped suddenly back with a cry of alarm. "Giovanni! Giovanni! There are robbers! Ahl!" The cry became a shriek, but it was instantly stiffened by a coarse hand thrust upon her mouth. At the same moment her companion felt herself treated in a similar manner. They could only gaze into the dark ruffly faces of their captors in mute terror. The whole thing had been too sudden for them to make any resistance, and Giovanni, their trusted escort, seemed suddenly to have disappeared. As a matter of fact, he was watching the proceedings from behind a convenient bowler. The man who was holding Adrienne pointed to the carriage, the door of which the driver had thrown open. "This way, Signorina," he said. "It is useless to struggle. We shall not harm you." She shook her head violently, and with a sudden effort thrust his hand away from her mouth. "What do you want?" she cried. "Who are you?" You can have my jewel, but I will never step inside that carriage. Help! help! He wound his arms around her, and, without a word, commenced dragging her across the road. "You may shout as much as you like," he muttered. "There will only be echoes to answer you." A sudden warning cry rang from his companion, and cry a start, he released his grip. The English, being drowned into the middle of the group, and before he could spring back, a swirling left-hander seated him down in the dust with a dull, heavy thud. "You blackguard!" he thundered out. Then turning quickly round he faced the other man, who had sprung across the road with bent body, and with his right hand in his breast. There was a gleam of cold steel, but before he could use the knife which he had drawn, his arm was grasped and held as though by a vice, and slowly bent backward. He dropped the weapon, with a shriek of pain, upon the road, and fell on his knees before his captor. The Englishman's grasp relaxed, and taking advantage of it, the man suddenly jumped up, legged over the wall, and disappeared in the plantation. Pursuit would have been impossible, but none of them thought of it.

The end came after it was very apparent that Jim Jeffries was beaten. Johnson was entirely too clever for him and seemed to have more physical strength. Jack was gradually wearing the big fellow down and had him wobbling about the ring. In the twelfth round after Jeffries had been knocked down and laid up against the ropes and had showed that he had no more chance of winning Sam Berger jumped in.

Just as he said it Johnson had drawn back for a final blow and I caught his arm. That was the end of the fight. Jeffries was on his feet. It was scored, a technical knockout, of course. In a few minutes Johnson would have had him out. Sam Berger was very wise and sensible in stopping it when he did. For me the end of that famous fight was a great relief. My job of refereeing had been no trouble at all. The men fought cleanly, and there was little for me to do except keep them at it. The greatest relief though, was that the fight at last, had been successfully pulled off. I knew it was a financial success before we entered the ring. Hundreds of those holding tickets to the Sea Francisco had exchanged their tix at Reno. The arena was full. JEFFRIES MAKES MISTAKE. At the very start of the fight, Jeffries made the mistake of trying to box with Johnson. The darky was entirely too clever for him. In the first round however Johnson was extremely cautious. He feinted around to be sure of his ground. For three minutes, he took no chances whatever. Johnson was a very clever ring general. He was trying to see how far he could go. When Jeffries tried to box him, Jack began to grin. As the fight progressed Johnson knew he was going to win. Then his boyishness came to the surface. He could not resist making jokes. In one mixup Jeffries missed and Johnson soaked him a good one. "Mr. Jeffries" said the darky, his Ips parting in a big grin, "ain't no use in talking dis is one time you use met yo' Waterloo! Jes' go an' tell 'em I said so. Yas, sir—Waterloo is right!" JOHNSON "KIDS" CORBETT.

Jim Corbett, second to Jeffries, was fol lowing every move and making occasional comment. Finally John son caught his eye. Again he smiled —showed those gold teeth. "Mr. Corbett," he remarked, looking over the edge of the ring, "you better come up here and help out Mr. Jeffries." A few minutes later he spoke to Corbett again.
