TUCKER DELIVERS A GREAT DISCOURSE SEGREGATION ORDINANCE COMES IN FOR SEVERE CRITICISM Justice for the Negro is the Plea--Liberal- Minded White Citizens Assert Themselves. VOLUME XLVI NO. 12 DR. TU A G Deals SEGREGA IN F Justice for Minded W "Never was there an age in which the social consciousness was so thoroughly awakened as in this pres ent age—never was there abroad so much of the spirit of brotherhood. And yet we are only beginning to learn of the many barriers to be broken down before the ideal of human society can be attained: barriers of poverty, barriers of vice barriers of heredity and environment. But there is one particular barrier which confronts our own country, especially our own Southern civilization, which staggers our optimism that St. Paul's prophecy is soon to be fulfilled—that in Christ Jesus there can be neither bond nor free. "I speak, as you doubtless surmise, of that racial and social barrier that separates between our white and our colored populations. There is a great gulf fixed and fortied by the instincts of our nature—a gulf of racial integrity which we cannot ourselves cross nor can we allow others to cross. And you as we send our missionaries to other lands to establish the higher unity of Christian Brotherhood—even send our missionaries to Africa—it must give some shock to our 'dealism to ask what we are doing as a Christian Church and community to carry out the main dictates of brotherhood the elementary principles of justice and mercy—in our relations with the Negro population which lives in our midst. A NATURAL SEGREGATION. "There is a natural segregation of the two races in their social and racial integrity which we are committed to preserve for what we be lie to be the best interests of both races. That is a higher loyalty that we do not argue—we simply assume. It is the unwritten law of every Southern community, and in the main is carried out with splendid understanding on the part of the leaders and the members of both races. "Where I believe we fall is in doing equal justice to the Negro population in the provision of the public utilities of the community. One has only to make a casual visit to the sections of the city where most of the colored population is naturally segregated to reach the conclusion that we do not make an equal provision in the way of streets and sidewalks, of sewerage and lighting. It is inevitable under such conditions that there should be a gradual movement among the colored population to secure more adequate housing in those sections of the city where better provision has been made for the white population. ... TWO SIDES TO QUESTION. .. "There is at present a segregation ordinance before the City Council to regulate this situation. I recog nize that there are two sides to the question and that much feeling has been aroused on both sides. The chief weakness of the ordinance is that it only seeks to regulate a sit uation that has already arisen rather than to provide a constructive solu tion of a condition that remains un changed. The surest safeguard to segregation would be to do plain justice by the Negroes—clean up the districts in which they live to provide decent streets and sewer age and then plan for their exp兰ion into some new suburban distri ctions where the same public facilities are afforded to the Negro population that are given to the whites under similar conditions. "If as a community we ever set Disregarding a petition of a committee of representative commercial and civic organizations and the Ministerial Union asking postponement, the Ordinances Committee of the City Council Thursday night unanimously adopted the proposed segregation ordinance and recommended it to Council for approval. The Council chamber was crowded with interested persons representing both races and a number of speeches for and against the segregation or dinance were delivered. It was apparent at the beginning that proponents of the paper had sufficient strength to pass it. Efforts were made by conservative members to postpone action, in order to hear further arguments. The agencies and others who desired delay so an exhaustive survey of the situation might be obtained; but those favoring immediate action were in the majority, and reinforced by a strong gallery of constituents little time was lost in discussion by committeemen before the final vote was taken. MOTION TO DELAY FAILS. A motion by Alderman Marx Gunsa who explained the wishes of a large number of interested citizens, as reflected in a petition presented to the committee, that action be postponed one month, was defeated by the vote of five to three, those in the affirmative Gunsa, Brown and Mo Dowell against postponement being Mosa, Figg, Lligan Gregory and Jewett. This indicated the trend of things and a ripple amphause passed thru (Continued on page 8) ourselves to do justice to the Negroes in the matter of adequate housing we shall have done far more to give expression to the reality of brotherhood than any amount of sentimentalizing. Moreover, the failure to do justice has its inevitable reaction upon ourselves. . . HELPING THE DISEASED "We are already beginning to ap preciate this fact in some instances. Our boards of health recognize that physical diseases among the Negroes cannot be disregarded without imperilling the health of the white population. Many of the worst diseases that affect our homes have their origin in the unhygienic conditions of the Negro district. Tuberculosis for example does not observe the color lines. This is a clear vindication or the principle that if we do not give justice and mercy we shall lose them. "As we set before ourselves the ideal of St. Paul 'in Christ Jesus there can be neither bond nor free' we may despair of ever bridging the gulf that seems to be fixed, but it is not for us to be anxious for the morrow nor to solve all the problems of the future—sufficient for the day is it to take one actual step that leads towards that ideal knowing that the time and season of Christ's appearing are in God's hands who will use us in proposition as we give ourselves for the establishment of His kingdom upon the earth."

Fountain, B. Th. served as Vice President and President for seventeen years The Conference under the administration of the retiring officer made itself felt in many helpful ways, both to the individual Ministers' Conference as a whole and the entire city. A committee of nine was appointed at the instance of the President on the present segregation bill. We feel that this committee has done much good in the defense of the Negro's rights in this city. This committee shall still continue to function for our people and against all unfair legislation until right and righteousness rule in the hearts of all men. We pray that success may follow the retiring head of our Ministers' Conference, that his life may be still freighted with those things' that go to help a struggling race and a lost world. Our Ministers' Conference in the future will elect its president every two years. This resolution was recommended by the retiring president two years ago. . .

Taylor led the call for a collection. $50.06 was reported. Rev. Stokes introduced Rev. Dr. Hill and he proceeded to discuss "Music." He gave music a place with that of the masters and called the roll of great musical productions, which even now stand first and foremost in the realm of great musical endeavors. Finally, he discussed the recent operas at the Mosque Theatre and bluntly asked Rev. Stokes if he attended any of the performances. Barring the dancing, he pronounced the renditions as vital adjuncts to musical training. He explained that this company that produced these works of the great composers were gathered up here and there in this country and did not rank with the great Metropolitan. He announced that he had already 75 singers preparing and he expected to increase this number to 150 and he would get the Mosque or the next best place to stage the performance. He congratulated Director W. D. Jones upon his own musical ability and that of his choir, speaking also of Miss Florence Smith who had rendered a solo. A vote of thanks was tendered Rev. Dr. Hill and the audience slowly wended its way to the street, where the snow was falling. ANNOUNCEMENT The Rice Memorial Home School, New Brunswick, N.

It settles death as well as some people. The selfishness ever uppermost is caus ing most of the wrong doing. Some people complain of ill treatment on the part of some white folks and then they practice worse tactics in dealing with their own people... vss Tt was once said that some people “woulg steal a cent off a dead man’s eye.” Most of the people hereabouts do not wait for the man to be dead. ‘They “skin him” while he lives. = Going up a hill is difficult.

Whether the colored people of Virginia will align themselves in State polities with the anti Demo cratic element will make a live issue a few months hence. ‘The question ts asked if the “potters” from the Democratic Party In this State will stay out of the Party. We do not think that there is any doubt about it, with that short ballot and the great patronage which comes to the man who will be elected Governor. If the Repub ticans will consent to play “second fiddte” and allow the new comers free sway, there will be a revolution in this State. Will the Republican leaders be ready and willing to do this?

TEX RICKARD Though Dead Yet Speaketh His Estimate of "Jack" Johnson and the Latter's Description Jeffries=Johnson Fight at Reno, Nevada. Pictures of Jack Johnson in Action (By Tex Rickard, in collaboration Jim Jeffries was not actually knocked down and out by Jack Johnson. In fact as referee I did not count him out—made no count at all. This statement is made in answer to several requests I have had to tell just how Jack Johnson knocked out Jeffries on that memorable Fourth of July in Reno. 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 the ring. "That's enough!" he said to me TEX CATCHES JOHNSON'S ARM. 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 for the fight in San Francisco had exchanged their tickets for seats 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 felted 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 pro-ressued Johnson knew he was going to win. Then his boyishness came to the surface. He resisted making jokes. In one mixup Jeffries missed and Johnson soaked him a good one. "Mr. Jeffries" said a darky, his pausing in a big grin, "ain't no THE RICHMOND PLANFT, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA use in talking, dis is one time you'use met yo' Waterloo! Jes' go an' tell 'em I sa'd so. Yas, sir—Waterloo is right!" JOHNSON "KIDS" CORBETT The Jeffries crowd still had hopes and were yelling encouragement from all parts of the arena. Jim Corbett, second to Jeffries, was following 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. "Caint do no good out there. Mr. Jim" said the grinning darkly. "This Mr. Jeffries needs somebody up here, and right now!" . . . There was never a gamer fighter than Jim Jeffries. He gave all he had, but he was up against it. I don't know if anything could have saved him, there is no doubt in my mind that, the stomach, trouble weakened him. He appeared heavy and slow moving from the start. When it was all over I hurried to find out just how we stood finan cally. The receipts for that fight were $270.715! I suppose my smile would have been as golden as Jack Johnson and the gold After all the troubles and invitations I was a big winner. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Broad and College Streets) Rev. W. T.

Now we give attention to human experiences and observe how the Scriptures reveal the ways by means of which the needs of man are met in the provisions of God. How shall man act when conscious of the deadly work of sin? The answer is in the present title and Faith." "Repentence and Faith Passages for very careful study are again indicated: Isaiah 1:10-20; Ezekiel 18:20-23; 27:32; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 3:1-14; 11:1-24; Acts 2:32-39; Hebrews 11:1-10. Further back in the Old Testament than Isaiah are almost countess references to sin and its consequences. Also from the first were similar encouragements like the message from Jehovah through the prophet Isaiah: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Ezekiel shows the need of some radical action on the part of man when he declares "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." John the Baptist, an Old Testament prophet, though recorded in the New Testa- tion, eloques in society to change their lives. ment, calls upon an air classes in a. An incident of repentance, that is typical of the exercise of divine love, is given under the guise of a parable as we have the fascinating story of the Two Sons. The voiceless was away from home in spirit even while he was there in flesh. He was eager to get where he would be without those safeguarding, restraining influences that can mean so much to every child. He asked for his share of the money and went away to spend it in the wrong things he had been thinking about. Soon he was hopelessly stranded and had no asset out here. Then he thought things through and made the worthy resolve to seek a servant's place with his father. He changed his whole view on life. He was not merely sorry because he was stranded but was heart-sick because of his wrong doing and resolved that such sins would never again have any place in his life. Further, he would go back home and tell his father that he, a son, had not only sinned against him but also against the love of God. There would be no excuse—just a humble and sincere confession. Read that parable in Luke again and note the gracious reception by the father. This act is just a type of divine love and forgiveness. the father. "Earth" is presented in the Golden Text. "Repent ye, and believe in the gospel." The promise of pardon is offered to the repentant sinner. We believe in the Divine offer, accept it and full forgiveness is granted through the sacrifice of the lamb of God. This was part of the content of the preaching on the Day of Pentecost as set forth in the Scripture from Acts. Gigantic Construction Program in 1929 Seen by Head of Largest Stone Company A. E. DICKSON OF "STONELAND" North Western Travelers Served by Chinese Maid SIX America has spent $7,200,000,000 on new construction during 1928. This makes an aggregate expenditure for the entire country in the past four years of $27,270,000,000. President A. E. Dickinson of the Indiana Limestone company says that business is swinging into the new year with bright prospects "There is every indication of sustained prosperity. Not only has there been a marked acceleration in 1928 over the previous year, but the building industry is on a more stable basis than ever before. There has Lily Leong, who but a short time ago was playing as a child in the streets of Canton, came into Chicago on the Overland Limited from San Francisco, happy that she was the pleaser Chinese maid to travel on a railroad train.

Lily Leong is a San Francisco girl by adoption.

I along th On Program in 1929 seen by Head of Largest St "STONELAND" Today I shall talk about the various kinds of skins, and in describing them I can perhaps help you to visualize them more clearly if I give you a concrete comparison. So I am going to compare the thin, fragile skin to the texture of the Japanese silk, and the thick skin I shall then to the coarser weave of a piece of woolen material. Some skins are of such a delicate texture that it is impossible for the naked eye to see the pores, just as it is impossible to see the weave of a fine piece of silk; whereas in the thicker skin the pores are discernible to the eye as in the weave of a woolen material. Many women seem to have the impression that it is nice to possess a thin skin and are sensitive about having their skins called thick. But in reality they are fortunate. Those who have thin or dry skin have a far greater beauty problem on their hands than the thick-women, for their skin is far more "beauty-proof" and will bear up under stress and strain to a much greater degree than will thin or fragrle skins. If you are in doubt as to the texture of your skin, you can usually decide the question by examining your hair. If the hair is fine and soft, the skin is of a thin thickness to coarseness, the skin will in all probability be thick. Hair and skin usually run along the same lines.

"While there is some doubt regarding the possible consequence of high money rates, it seems more than probable that 1929 will show a building total close to that of 1928.

Hints On Cooking The lower animals in natural state, live on food that is un-cooked, and do so, unless they become domesticated. With highly organized man, it is different; for the most part, his nourishment is more perfect with cooked foods. Cooking serves two principal purposes: tough fibers are made tender—and, heat sterilizes. In these days of many microbes, the latter is a very important item. Infected food is one of the most common causes of disease. A very common fault is in the over-cooking of vegetables; the humble turnip and the plebeian cabbage are frequently blamed for causing digestive disturbances, when the fault is entirely in their being over-cooked. Both of these useful vegetables contain vitamins that are destroyed if kept too long in the kettle; neither should be cooked over fifteen minutes. Old or tough specimens, that will not surmire in less than an hour's boiling, are unfit for use—just so much bulk of no nutritive value. Cabbages and turnips should be steamed. Enough water in your kettle to almost cover the vegetable and seasoning, should make enough steam to thoroughly tender them in the quarter of an hour devoted to that purpose. Frying is a make-shift, a time-saver. Fried foods are at the other extreme—they are cooked too fast; the vital principles are driven out by the fierce heat, the hard and indigestible parts being left. Meats should be cooked in a vessel nearly air-tight, and in their juices. A "Dutch oven" is admirable for the purpose. ```markdown ``` EXTRA CONGRESS, EXTRA TROUBLE. PROSPERITY'S BACK LOG. MR. LUCE HALF RIGHT. WISE KING AMANULAH. There is to be an extra session of Congress, so well informed Washington reports, and the farmer will wait for "relief" until the new Congress gathers. Mr. Hoover probably wishes that milestone were passed. The farm question is this: How can you make those engaged in a thoroughly disorganized haphazard industry as prosperous as those in industries thoroughly organized on a scientific production and selling basis? Changes in the tariff are predicted. "Big financial and industrial interests feel that tariff changes are needed." If they feel that way, the changes will be made, and probably should be made. Big business has its faults, but it knows what the country needs, realizing that the big man can get only its part of what the little man can earn. All of our prosperity comes down to the fact that people EARNING more can SPEND more. Mr Ecker of the Metropolitan Life Company puts it in words: "The people earn fifteen to twenty billions more than it costs them to live. Those extra billions are prosperity's back log." Mr Lucey, the old Northampton cobbler who knew President Coolidge when a boy, is supposed to have given little Calvin this advice: "Keep your shoes laced tight, and never let your tongue wag." President Coolidge took that good advice about the tongue. There is no information as to the advice concerning shoes. It is harmful to lace children's shoes too tight. Lacing tight around the ankles, pressing on blood vessels, impeding the flow of blood, gives the heart more work to do. Cobbler Lucey was only half right. King Amanullah of Afghanistan discovered suddenly and violently what American prohibition enthusiasts are discovering slowly, that it isn't easy to change men's habits by proclamation or law. Amanullah came back from his visit to England wearing European clothes, his wife fashionably dressed, short skirts, silk stockings, nothing to cover up her face. He announced that women in Af- CROLER Hints for the Home If you are so unfortunate as to have a home without a fireplace, you can acquire the full effect of one by simply introducing a mantel with a false grate to accommodate electric logs or coals. Then, if possible, have bookshelves built into the wall at either side and you will have a charming hearth setting at very little cost. The scheme can be worked out inexpensively in almost any room since it entails no outside repairs or structural work. And the decorative effect—the atmosphere of comfort gained—are worth many times the amount involved. *** For Afternoon Tea Cocoanut Kisses Cinnamon Snaps Date and Nut Bars Lemon Tea Cream Mock Duck Split pork tenderloin down the center and fill with a dressing as for fowl.

The colored jumper is shown with plain colored skirt, and ensembles combining plain and pattern fabrics will continue. *** Bin Tuck Trimming A leaf pattern done in pin tucks forms the trimming motif for the blouse of a handsome two-piece spring costume of green crepe in the new "sun-faded" shade.

"I don't feel that way," said Billie whose head was half way under covers. "What's the matter?" asked Bobbie. "I feel like crying one minute and I don't feel like crying the next. What do you call that?" "I should say you were filled with remorse," replied Bobbie. "I have had a funny feeling near my heart ever since we painted Mister Jay Bird's head yellow and all the birds attack him. If that is remorse, I mean the way I feel, then I got remorse." Billie lay very still after this. "I had forgotten all about it," said Bobbie, after a little while. "You have a good forgettery," sighed Billie. And then they both dropped off to sleep and were not awakened until Mister Sunshine Man came peeping over the hill. The Bunnies were up bright and early. Billie still had his feeling of remorse and before they went down to breakfast Billie said. "I see and see if we can't find Mister Jay Bird." "It takes little time to do an injury, but it takes a long time to undo the damage," said Bobbie. "But I'm willing to help your remorse only let's not do anything like that again." In a little while they were hopping down the path. Soon they saw Mister Jay Bird high up in a tree and as they came nearer they heard "You thought you had me, didn't you? Well, some little girls found me on their way home and they washed my head and there I am!" "I am awfully glad you are not dead," said Billie to the Jay. "So am I," replied the bird, "for now I can play some more tricks on you." "Better be careful!" suggested Bobbie.

To expectate on the sidewalk, or on the ground about the home, is to smear the premises with worms which, after drying, are ready for a voyage into some innocent respiratory tract.

A chimney breast of beaver-board can be built out from the blank wall and a "tailor-made" mantel with space for an artificial grate set into the breast. The beaver-board should then be covered with canvas and painted or papered to match the old walls. Finish with a cornice or molding at the top to match that used in the balance of the room, and insert a grate for artificial, electric-lighted coals or logs in the hearth-space.

Of old dull apricot tint is the background of the trock, while flower clusters show shades of mauve, deep blue and a touch of turquoise. At the left hip are long streamers of turquoise velvet ribbon which extend below the hem of the skirt and give it the required zig-zag line.

There an exile Leonardo di Marioni, has come for love of Adrienne Leopard, the high-ranked Italian, Lord St. Pierre, who falls in love with Adrienne on sight. Leonardo is unable for Adrienne is hopeless. But he pleads with her to arrange an accidental meeting, to say farewell, be his companion. two. She consents. That night the Englishman is informed of an attempt being made to carry off Signorina Cartuccio and Mara gharita, who are walking, by a employed by a reporter, on a lonely road to the scene, and prove to rescue the ladies. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The two ladies looked at their preserver standing in the middle of the road—fair and straight and tall, like a fairy god, but with a terrible fury blazing in his dark blue eyes. “你 are not hurt, I trust?” he asked, his breath coming quickly, for he was in a towering passion. He was not speaking to the darkness of the two girls at all: in fact, he was unconscious of her attention. He was standing, watching the faint color steal again into her cheeks, and the terror dying out of her eyes, to be replaced by a far softer light. Her black lace wrap, which she had been wearing in Spanish fashion, had fallen a little back from her head, and the moonlight was gleaming upon her ruddy golden hair; all wavy and disarranged, throwing into soft relief the outline of her slim, girlish figure, her heaving bosom, and the exquisite transparency of her complexion. She stood there offended young men, passionately wryting at the young men who had dared to their coarse hands upon her, yet feeling all a woman's gratitude to their preserver. Her eyes were flashing like stars, and her brows were bent, but as she looked into his face her expression softened. Of the two sensations gratitude was the stronger. "You are not hurt?" he repeated. "I am sorry that I did not get here sooner, before that fellow touched you." She held out her hand to him with a little impetuous movement. hitte impetuous movement "Thanks to you. No, Signor," she said, her eyes suddenly filling with tears. "Oh how grateful we are are need we are. The Signor hailed from a terribe orange." It shing. The tenwere were and woods. But what was the cove here?" He pointed along the road. Already the sunny vehicle had become a black train in the distance, swaying heavily from side to side from the pace at which it was being driven, and almost enveloped in a cloud of dust. Adrienne shook her head. Margharia had turned away, with her face buried in her hands. "I cannot imagine. Perhaps they were brigands, and intended to carry us off for a ransom." The Englishman shrugged his shoulders. "Old sort of bandits," he remarked. "Why, they didn't the pluck of a chicken between them, especially this one." He touched the prostrate figure with his foot, and the two girls shuddered. "He is—is not dead, is he?" Margharia asked. "Not he. I shouldn't say that he was very badly hurt either," the Englishman declared, bending down and listening to his breathing. "More frightened than anything. He'll get up and be off directly we leave. You will let me see you home?" he continued, speaking to Adrienne. She looked up at him with a gleam of humor in her wet eyes. "You don't imagine that we should let you go and leave us here?" she said. "Come, Margharita." The Englishman looked at the other girl, almost for the first time, as she came up and joined them. Her dark eyes were full of tears and her face was troubled. There was very little relief or thankfulness for her escape in her expression. The Englishman was no physiognomist, but he was a little puzzled. There is no danger now, Signorini, he said reassuringly. "To-morrow I will go to the police, and I dare sae that we shall get to the bottom of the whole affair." She shuddered, but made no reply, walking on by their side, but a little distance apart. As for the Englishman, he was in paradise. To all intents and purposes, he was alone with Adrienne Cartuccio, listening to her low voice, and every now and then stealing a glance down into those wonder eyes of her. The walk through the scented darkness, with the far-off murmur of the sea always in their ears, was like the dawning of a new era in his life. It was she who talked most, and he who listened. Yet he was very happy; and when they reached her villa, and he left them at the door, she gave him a white flower which he had found courage to beg for. "What callung to-morrow?" he asks, "for the answer." "I would like to, yes," she answers, "Come early if you have anything to do, and we will give you afternoon tea à l'Anglaise. By the bye," she added, a little shly, "is there not something you have forgotten?" He divined her meaning at once. "Of course, I ought to have told you my name!" he exclaimed hastily. "How stupid of me. It is St Maurice—Lord St. Maurice." "Lord St. Maurice! Then are you not the fortunate possessor of that delightful little yacht in the harbor?" "Yes, if you mean the Pandora, she's mine. Do you like sailing? Will you come for a sail?" he asked eagerly. "We'll talk about it to-morrow," she laughed, holding out her hand. "Good-night." He let her hand go. If he held it a moment longer, and a little more firmly than was absolutely necessary, was he much to blame? "Good-night," he said. "Good- "He is—is not dead, is he?"

She had found her way into a lonely corner of the villa grounds, and, with her head resting upon her hands, she was gazing across the blue sunlit waters of the bay.

She clambered over the low paling, and pushing back the boughs of the shrubs which grew between them, made his way up the bank to her side. "Have you been away?" she asked. "Yes, I have been home. Home," he repeated bitterly. "I have wandered through the woods, and I have climbed the hills where we spent our childhood. I have looked upon the old scenes, and my heart is broken." Her eyes filled with tears. For a moment her thoughts, too, went back to the days when they had been children together, and he had been her brother. How time changed them both, and how apart they were. The could never be the same again. She knew it quite well. There had grown up a great barrier between them. She could not even pretend to sympathize with him, although her heart was still full of nity. "Leonardo, I am sorry," she whispered.

"Have I not tried? he answered bitterly. "Tell me, to I so easily reclaim my desire? Why am I here? Because I have said to myself that I will not be denied. Adrienne shall be mine!" She looked at him steadily. "We have not met, Leonardo, since the night after the concert. Do you know that we had an adventure on the way home?" "Tell me about it," he answered, looking away. "Is there any need, Leonardo?" A faint tinge of color stole into his olive cheek. "You guessed then," he said. "Tell me, does she know? Has she any idea?" "None." "She does not suspect me at all?" "No; she thinks that it was an ordinary attack by robbers, and that they might take a little way into the interior, so that they might hold us and demand a ransom. It was her own idea; I said nothing. I feel as though I were deceiving her, but I cannot tell her. She would never look upon your face again, Leonardo." --- "It is fate!" "None." "You must not tell her," he muttered. "Swear that you will not!" She shook her head. "There is no need. I am not anxious to denounce my own brother as a would-be abductor." "Margarita, I was desperate," he cried passionately. "And that cursed Englishman, he has become my evil genius. It was a miserable chance that enabled him to become your preserver." "It was a very fortunate one for you, Leonardo?" "When do you mean?" he cried sharply. "Tell me, has he been here?" "Yes." He seemed to calm himself with a great effort. He was on the threshold of what he had come to know. He must keep cool, or she would tell him nothing." "Margarita," he said slowly, "the CROWE time is fast coming when I shall have no more favors to ask you. Will you remember that you are my sister, and grant me a great one now?" "If I can, Leonardo," is good. You will not ask you anything unreasonable or unreasonable. Tell me the truth about Adrienne and this Englishman. Tell me how you have spent your days since this affair, and how often has been here. Then tell me what you yourself think. Tell me whether she cares for him; and he for her. Let me heat the whole truth, so that I may know how to act." "Leonardo," she whispered, "remember our watchword, 'Endurance.' I will tell you everything. Lord St. Maurice came on the day I came our adventure. He stayed till evening, and we walked with him on the Marina. The next day we want yachting with him. Yesterday and to-day he has spent nearly the whole of his time here. I believe that he is in love with Adrienne, and as for her, if she does not love him already, I believe that she soon will. You have asked for the truth, my brother, and it is best that you should have it. Forgive me for the pain it must cause you." The Englishman sat quite still, holding in his hand a long, curiously-shaped dagger, which the first gleam of moonlight had shown him lying at his feet. He was no coward, but he gave a little shudder he he examined the thing, and felt its blueish steel edge with his finger. It was by no means a toy weapon; it had been tasteless and meant for use. What use? Sowehow he felt that he had escaped a very great danger, 50 yards from his pocket, and leavened back in his chair. The shuil voices and clatter of glasses around him scared curiously unreal in his cars. By degrees he came to himself, and leaning forward took a match from the little marble table, and re-lit his cigar. Then, for the first time, he noticed with a start that the chair opposite to him was occupied, occupied, too, by a figure which was perfectly familiar. It was a Sicilian who sat there, quietly smoking a long cigarette, and with his face shaded by the open palm of his Lord St. Maurice made no sign of recognition. On the contrary, he turned his head away, preferring not to be seen. His nerves were already highly strung, and there seemed to him to be something ominous in this second meeting with the Sicilian. If he could have been sure of being able to do so unnoticed, he would have got up and into the hotel. "Good-evening, Signor!" Lord St. Maurice turned and looked into the white, corpse-like face of the Sicilian. It told its own story. There was trouble to come. "Good-evening, Signor," he answered quietly. The Sicilian leaned over the table. There were gray rims under his eyes, and even his lip said, "Signor," he remarked, "we occupied these game seats here." "I remember it." Lord St. Maurice replied quietly.

Then Alderman Gunst further explaining that while he favored some ordinance of a regular tory nature and believing the petitioners should have been given 'an opportunity to submit a satisfactory report based upon a proposed survey stated he would vote for the paper.' Councilman Thomas B. McDowell who, likewise sought delay in be half of the petitioners and expressed the opinion that the ordinance would be declared unconstitutional, also cast his vote in the affirmative. Mr. Brown vowed for the paper without explanation. WANTED QUICK ACTION. In casting his vote for the ordinance Alderman Charles W. Moss explained at length that he had all ways been in sympathy with the spirit of the ordinance and had agreed to delay, with the hope some better method might be suggested to separate the races, but that as no such remedy had been proposed, he felt action should be taken without further parley In the beginning it was agreed that only such persons as had not addressed the committee should speak, unless such former speakers had new thoughts to impart. The clerk read a letter from a committee representing leading organizations asking that a delay be accorded so a survey, now being conducted, might be completed and a report submitted as the result of that survey. This paper was signed by John Stewart Bryan, representing the Chamber of Commerce; Leroy E. Brown, Jr. from the Real Estate Exchange; Leigh R. Page, from the Richmond Bar Association; the Rev W. E.

Supplementing the plea of the petitioners short addresses were delivered by the Rev. R. Cary Mon tague, who representing the Minis terial Union, asked that action be postponed until a date not later than May 15 so data of importance in the work of evolving a satisfactory plan might be obtained; and Leroy E. Brown Jr. representing the Real Estate Exchange, who asked the committee to go slowly in the matter and procure all information possible before taking final action. Alderman Henry W. Woody, patron of the ordinance presented his case. He asserted that within recent weeks Negroes had further encroached in certain sections of Church Hill, and that unless something was done, and done quickly many white neighborhoods would be invaded, "with disastrous results to the men who had invested their all in little homes." He presented C. C. Crouch, who spoke at $t_0$ former meetings, Mr Crouch declared the proposed ordinance would answer all demands and tend to prevent further encroachment of Negroes upon white territory. "The situation is tense," he said "and should be alleviated." Major Ernest S. Cox author of "White America" a traveler of note and a student of racial conditions throughout the world, expressed be lief that the ordinance might prove eminently satisfactory to both white and colored citizens. There are only a few in both races who desire such mixture of living conditions as that represented by some of the speakers he observed, and while these few are in a very small minority, they cause a lot of trouble. Such a law as this he thought might relieve a situation that may become unbearable. He pointed to the segregation in street cars and railway trains in schoolhouses, theatres churches and declared with those conditions being worked out salts factorily, it is no reason to be in the army.
