THE RICHMOND PLANET VIRGINIA JUL 20 1929 STATE LIBRARY THE VIRGINIA PENITENTIARY MURDER Graham Thomas Trial Barred. Probably Insane VOLUME XLVI NO. 31 M The trial of Graham Thomas, white, charged with the murder of Oscar Edwards, colored, was set for Wednesday, July 17, 1929, at 10:00 A. M., in the Circuit Court of this city with His Honor, Judge Julien Gunn, presiding. The grand jury handed in the indictment, after which Judge Gunn and Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, Tinsley and Attorney E. C. Folkes, counsel consulted. Later, all including the physicians retired to Judge Gunn's office for further consideration. Convicts There Five colored convicts and three white were present as witnesses, being under the watch-care of two guards. Later Judge Gunn said, "It has been developed in evidence that the prisoner is mentally deficient and is afflicted with epilepsy. Dr. Field had observed the accused. Dr. Howard R. Masters is here. Marion is the hospital for the criminal insane. The points raised bar further procedure in the trial. The information should be forth-coming before the trial. Otherwise everything would necessarily have to be gone over again." May Be Brought Back If the prisoner is insane now and was sane at the time the crime was committed, he will be committed to the asylum until he is pronounced cured, when he will be brought back here and tried for the crime. If he was insane at the time the crime was committed, he will be committed to the asylum. Dr. Masters stated that the prisoner was an epileptic. It was due to an injury received 7 years ago. He is now 20 years of age. The Order Entered Dr. Royster also testified along similar lines. Judge Gunn said, "I'll suspend further proceedings and ask you to observe this man and secure his history and that of his family, so that if he is insane, he can be put in an asylum, where he can be further observed. He should not be in the penitentiary. He shall be sent to Marion for such an observation. The counsel for both sides by previous agreement had waived a jury trial and this ended the matter for the time being. DR JEFFERSON INJURED Dr. E. R. Jefferson, 706 N. 1st St. was painfully injured on the Marshall Street viaduct. Wednesday, July 10th. He had come up from 18th Street on the elevator and was waiting to take a Fulton car going east. Just as he rushed to the car on the further track, a car driven by one of the white welfare nurses bore down upon him. Two ladies, who were standing there screamed and this caused Dr. Jefferson to hesitate, practically saving his life. The car knocked him down and injured his legs. It is stated that it will be some time before he will be able to walk again. He is under the treatment of Dr. Dunn and Dr. J. R. Griffin. HON. H. R. POLLARD TO SPEAK Hon. H. R. Pollard, one of our best white citizens has been secured to deliver an address at the Third Street A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, 21st inst., at 3:30 o'clock. An interesting program has been arranged. The public is invited to be present. W. T. FRANCIS DIES OF YELLOW FEVER U. S. Minister to Liberia Succumb at Monrovia After a Month's Illness Washington, July 15.—William T. Francis, of St. Paul Minn., American Minister resident and Consul General to Liberia, died this morning at Monrovia of yellow fever. He was the only negro Minister in the American diplomatic service, having been appointed on July 9, 1927, by former President Coolidge. Mr. Francis was taken ill on June 16, and until the last few days hopes for his recovery were held out. His heart, however, failed to respond to stimulants on Saturday, and the State Department was advised today that he died this morning at 5 o'clock. He was born in St. Paul, where for many years he was a prominent member of the bar. Secretary Stimson sent a message of sympathy to Mrs. Francis, who was with her husband at Monrovia. In giving it out, he said: "This telegram represents the feelings of all who had opportunity to know about the splendid work Mr. Francis was doing in Liberia." It reads as follows: "My deepest sympathy goes out to you in your great sorrow. The tragic death of Mr. Francis deprives the United States of one of its most able and trusted public servants. His notable achievement in furthering relations between this country and Liberia will not be soon forgotten, and his loss will be most keenly felt by all who were associated with him in the department and in the foreign service." Chicago, July 15—Mr. Francis was manager of the negro department of Republican headquarters here four years ago in President Coolidge's campaign. REV. DR. WALTER H. BROOKS TO BE HERE Rev. Walter H.

Sibley, of Georgia, was sent out to Liberia under the Jeans Fund to introduce vocational schools in the Republic of Liberia and to supervise and work with the government in the reconstruction of their public school. It was during that time that Rev. C. C. Boone, M. D., met and associated with him. He succeeded in his work there and gave the Liberians much assistance. He carried out Miss Davis, of New York, to help him. He made text books, primer, reader, geography by the assistance of the missionaries as shown in the picture. His life and labors there were valuable assets to the advancement of the Liberian Republic. IN MEMORIAM JONES—in memory of my dear daughter, Mary Alice Jones, who departed this life July 19, 1924. Today recalls sad memories of a loved one gone to rest. And those who think of her today are the ones who loved her best. Her Mother, Sylvia Jones. PICNIC TO MANAKIN A SUCCESS The first picnic of the Sixth Street Baptist Church to Manakin, Va., on July 4, 1929, was one of real pleasure and enjoyment long to be remembered. Under the shrewd management of the shraun-in, Mrs. M. L. Arrington, they succeeded in getting the crowd in three buses and at that they were swinging on the end. The pastor, congregation and friends are delighted with the success attained. SCHMELING SIGNS TO SCRAP NEGRO Cunha, Neh. July 16.—(By Associated Press.)—Bearcat Weight, Omaha Negro heavyweight, has been signed to meet Max Schmeling, German heavyweight title contender, in the main event of an American Legion show here the night of July 26th. CELEBRATION OF FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY Rev. John R. West, pastor of Union Baptist Church at Amelia Courthouse celebrated his fifteenth anniversary during the week of May 20th. The high type of services held on that Sunday placed a general stamp of love and approval on the most able. Rev. West. Some of the best talent of the community and from ether sections served on the program. In the afternoon service Miss Dorothy Johnson was Mistress of Ceremonies. Excellent papers were read by Mrs. Claiborne, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. M. A. Richardson, the latter serves in the public schools of Amelia. Beautiful solos came from Miss Rosa Robinson and Mr. M. K. Baily (Mr. Bailey is likewise a teacher). These most wonderful numbers having been preceded by a cordial welcome from Mrs. Booker and an equal response from Mrs. Scruggs paved way for the fine sermon then delivered by Dr. F. W. Williams, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church, Richmond, Dr. Williams treated his text with his usual skill and thoroughness. His opening remarks caused the great congregation to stop and think of the blessing they had in Rev. West, who has made for himself a home—of which none need be ashamed—in the community, has brought his church to become second to none with that grand spirit of love existing, while he himself is considered by many a landmark. This last truth was evidenced by the greetings and remembrances received by Rev. West and the church from friends and members in many sections of the country as well as from those at home. Memory of that grand celebration, will linger long in the minds of friends and members of Union Baptist Church. THOMPSON---WILSON.

NO TROUBLE FOR SAINT LUKES HERE. The R. W. G. Council I. O. O. St. Luke Sound As The Rocks Of Gibraltar The future outlook for the order is brighter than ever. The Right Worthy Grand Sec Treas., Mrs. Maggie L. Walker made happy when many new Legal Reserve members were presented to her for her birthday NEW YORK DISTRICT ST. LUKE IN HANDS OF RECEIVER Does Not Affect Right Worthy Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke With Headquarters at Richmond, Virginia, of Which Mrs. Maggie L. Walker Is The Right Worthy Grand Secretary- Treasurer. In the New York Times of July 13, appeared an article showing an appointment of a Receiver for the New York District St. Luke Finance Corporation. This news item has been very misleading as to the public. Many have gathered the idea that it was the Right Worthy Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke with headquarters at Richmond, Virginia, and of which Mrs. Maggie L. Walker is the Right Worthy Grand Secretary-Treasurer. This is not the case. The members of the St. Luke Order of New York State grew very strong, numerically and financially, as the years passed, under Mrs. Walker's administration and direction. Made a Mistake The members of the New York District made the same mistake which other fraternals have made in other parts of the country. They begin to reach out and to speculate and invest their monies in other things as an auxiliary to their fraternal work. For a while these ventures, on the surface, appeared successful, but as time went on, they became top-heavy. They organized a Finance Corporation, they ran a Cafeteria, a Dance Hall, and let out the auditorium for amusements and other entertainments until they became heavily involved in debt. Separate Charter They were incorporated under a separate charter in New York State. Their obligations continued to grow until creditors took them into the courts. It was found, upon an investigation, that they were insolvent, the result was the appointment of a Receiver. The office at Richmond has given out the information to the effect that this Receivership has nothing to do with the Order at Richmond, Virginia, as the Right Worthy Grand Council, Independent Order of St. Luke was no party to the speculative enterprises fostered by the St. Lukes of the New York District. Order Here Solvent This Receivership has nothing to do with the fraternal relations of the members of the New York District to the Order at Richmond. The Right Worthy Grand Council.

The Continued on page 5 BAY SHORE IN BLOOM Bay Shore Hotel, Buckroe Beach, Va. July 13, 1929. Bay Shore is now receiving the many excursions that come to it every season. From Norfolk, Berkley, and Richmond they come, in addition to the many individual visitors. Dr. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, after speaking to the summer students at Hampton Institute on Friday, came to Bay Shore Hotel, where he looked over the new improvements and went for a dip in the waters of Chesapeake Bay. At Hampton Institute Dr. DuBois spoke on "Negro Literature and Art", and among other things, said that at the present time the Negro must fight for "freedom in art". Mrs. U. Jones, and Miss Lottie Booth, Philadelphia, Pa., were among those at the Bay Shore Hotel over the last week-end. The Ideal Social Club, Richmond, brought ten coaches Monday of last week on their annual excursion, filling both the Bay Shore Hotel and the beach with a merry crowd of pleasure seekers; and on Tuesday, Provident and St. John's Churches came with their congregations. Last Monday Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Richmond, spent the day at the beach; and on Tuesday the First Baptist Sunday School, Norfolk, and the Shepherds and Daughters, Richmond. On Wednesday, St. Joseph's Catholic Church came to Bay Shore on its first outing. G. J. F. The Improved Order of Shepherds carried one of the largest excursions of the season to Bay Shore last Tuesday. The Moore Street Baptist Church under the masterly leadership of Dr. Gordon B. Hancock is scoring heavily, both spiritually and financially. The Shiloh Baptist Association will meet Wednesday, August the seventh, 1929, at Cismont, Cobham, Virginia. Delegates can reach there over the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. The meeting will be held in the Zion Hill Baptist Church, Rev. Price, pastor. Delegates are expected to be on time, and friends are always welcome. The meeting promises to be inspiring and helpful. The good people of Zion Hill Baptist Church, at Cismont are preparing to entertain in the best possible way. ON TO SHILOH! MURRY, PINKY, OR WE'LL MISS THAT CAR! A LITTLE FASTER SON WHEW!

This is the season when thousands of tourists are travelling over the highways and byways of the United States and Canada in quest of the unusual as a variation from their humdum everyday existence. Motor nomads who are fortunate enough to include in their itinerary the world-famous Banff-Windermere Highway, that wonderful stretch of mountain road between Banff and Lake Louise, in the Canadian Rockies, will be well surprised.

Bighorn sheep and mountain goats too, are often observed standing like sentinels on some leopard crag, watching with apparent interest the machines passing far below, for they realize that they are protected against the hunter. The females and kids are tamer, and feed along the road. Now and again an all-too-inquisitive door, founded by the headlights of an approaching motor car, will stand in the middle of the road as if glued to the spot, but leap away in time to escape death. It is the tourist to cease asleep. If the tourist is too careless as regards speed he may hear a thunder of hoods behind him and be called upon to "hait!" by a scarlet-coated "Mountie," or Royal Canadian Mounted policeman, who is merely doing his duty and living up to his reputation for "getting his man." Now and again the motorist will hear a whistle, and pull up to ascertain who is hailing him, but the chances are that he has been fooled by a whistling marmot, a little emu resembling a woodchief, who is merely warning the follower of a breach of his own This Week By Arthur Brisbane Which birthdays in human life are most important? The first starts life going. The second begins work and responsibility. The fifteenth means that old age has started. The seventeenth that active life is over. Eighty means old age, although it should not. And riness is reached by few. John D. Rockefeller has celebrated his nineteenth birthday. Those that appreciate a life and a great fortune well spent will wish for him many more years, taking him far beyond 100. Mr. Rockefeller, employing able scientists to fight disease, with unlimited resources at their disposal, has rendered service to the human race for centuries to come. He has given hundreds of millions to education and scientific research. No man in history has given as liberally or more intelligently. Mrs. Sabir, wife of a well-known banker, will investigate prohibition among wives of working men throughout the nation. This "survey" will ask the wives their opinion of prohibition. Those whose husbands used to drink whiskey and can't afford it now will say th *favor prohibition* If their husbands still drink whiskey, they paying *bootleggers' prices*, they will be against prohibition. Wives whose husbands used to drink beer or light wine and drink whiskey now, because they can't get beer or wine, will be against prohibition. Left to a popular vote, prohibition would win in the nation at large, and lose in the big cities. This week you will get the new small money, bills much smaller than the old size.

John Garland Pollard will be the Democratic nominee for Governor. He is one of the most brilliant legal luminaries in Virginia. Colored folks are having a hard time of it making friends with some of these policemen, who do not want them to make friends with them, but they are continuing on the job. Now they are changing the subline to the ridiculous. A suit for ten thousand dollars has been entered against Sergeant Dan Duling. Should the plaintiff win, there is plenty of money in the prohibitionists treasury to pay it. Brother Duling has not been permitted to gaze upon the "filthy lucre", much less get a proportion of it. THE TROUBLE IN NEBRASKA A most remarkable state of affairs is reported, not from Texas or any other Southern State, but from Nebraska, the home of the Bryans, of which Hon. William J. Bryan was the most distinguished representative. A colored man, named Louis Seelman shot and killed Edward Green, a police officer, when he attempted to arrest him for a minor offense. He was trapped in his house, and the police poured gasoline and made a fire to smoke him out. When he found that further fight or flight was hopeless, Seelman retreated to the basement through a trap-door. When he was again about to be routed, he shot and killed himself. This was the best and wisest thing for him to do. It is fortunate that more colored folks do not possess this kind of courage. This affair took place at North Platte, Nebraska, Saturday, July 13, 1929, and was followed by a most remarkable happening. A mob of white men formed and ordered the 200 colored people living there to leave at once or suffer the consequences. They left leaving their belongings and trusting to the charity of the public. Governor Arthur Weaver directed the Attorney General, C. A. Sorenson to investigate the happening and to proceed to secure the return of all of the colored people guaranteeing them all of the protection that the great State of Nebraska could afford. On Monday, several colored people were reported to be returning and the others were on the way home again. The Attorney General announces that he will prosecute the case to the limit. Gov. Weaver said: "All Negro residents of North Platte must be permitted to return and must be assured of immunity from any further recurrence of the Saturday outbreak." Sheriff A. J. Salisbury said: "It is our duty to protect all citizens and we will protect all Negroes who return to the city." This then is viewing the race question from a new angle. The peaceable attitude of these Negroes was shown from the fact that none of them offered resistance to the mob. This situation is becoming clearer and liberal minded white citizens especially in the Southland are on the increase. These Westerners have much to learn about this humble race of people and it seems that some of them are learning it. New hair for old omade makes your hair new! For dressing.

He filled the bungalow almost paid for, and Mrs. Jimmy Brown knew the meaning of team work in the matter of overcoming difficulties. It was in the late autumn that Mrs. Jimmy began to think about a new rug, and a few pieces of more tasty furniture for the coming spring. She had grown tired, as any good woman must, with the coarse dusting, sweeping, changing positions of the antiquated sofa and worn rockers—the just couldn't make the living-room look cheery any more! But the selentless mortgage kept eating its way into the family treasury; until it could be paid off. The little wife decided to stop every bank in the family budget she could—and to save closer if possible, but how? There was just thirty-five cents in her purse—a dime and a quarter—when her reservation was farmed; she would save every dime that came her way. She put the thin little coin in a dime-bank, one of her childhood trinkets in the bottom of a dresser drawer. It took two dimes to open it; that dime did into the tray slot, and clinked fiercely as it fell on the metal floor of the toy. It sounded good. The handyman came around with Jimmy's collars—bill fifteen cents. The dime in change joined its fellow in the little bank. When Jimmy came home to dinner, he had three dimes among other coins in his purse; he gave them to Jimmy; Jimmy; a baby father was "buckled" that day, and Jimmy like the plan. To shorten this true story, by the next April, Mra. Jimmy fell deposited in the seal bank, one hundred and seventy-five dollars—in dimes. She purchased her new set, sacrificed several richly-gifted bourbons, bought fresh ones, and a new sette—paid cash and had some lefth—all done with dimes that had previously slipped through fingers that had not appreciated the insignificant coins. This is no fair tale; any one can do the same. L.J.HAYDEN Do You Love HEALTH? My Medicines have permanently releaved thousands of people in the United States when others failed to do so.

NEGRO FRATERNITY IN RECEIVER'S HANDS Order of St. Luke of New York Dis- trict Insolvent, Says State At- torney General ALLEGED TO BE IN BUSINESS Owaiing $300,000 Harlem Property and Running Restuarant Outside Province Prosecutor Asserts. The Independent Order of St. Luke of the New York District, a Fraternal Organization which, according to the State Attorney General's office, has made enough money to control $300,000 worth of Harlem property, operate a public restaurant and own a licensed dance hall, by inducing a thousand negroes to loan money on unsecured notes, is now in the hands of a receiver. nations. On appointment of Supreme Court Justice Walsh, Walsh. Joseph F. Crater, lawyer of 120 Broadway, took charge yesterday of the assets of the society, which Attorney General Ward alleges, is inadvertent. The receivership is the result of proceedings brought by the Attorney General to dissolve the organization because it exceeded its authority as a membership corporation by going into business. Its business as brought out in hearings before William M. Brouillard, assistant attorney general, was particularly good for a time. It easily persuaded subcouncils of the Right Wing Grand Council of the Independent Order of St Luke, which has headquarters in Virginia, to offer 400 for the privilege of recommending a member to the board of directors of the Independent New York District organization, each elaborate clubhouse plans. Each recommended director was required to produce another $100. In return for these loans five-year refunding notes were issued. Similar notes went to many other negroes, who also received offers of various kinds of membership in return for their money. At one time some 80,000 notes were outstanding according to Mr. Bouillard. Apartment house properties were bought and other operations engaged in, but the real estate is now found to be encumbered with mortgages too near its real value, Mr. Bouillard said. A complaint to the Attorney General by Dr. Sir, Seldon, of Harlem, through Alderman John Clifford Hawkins provoked other charges that some notes were not being paid, although the dishonesty was enaged. The organization itself contended, through its attorney, John W. that it was making a profit of more than $10,000 a year. Following hearings and the failure of negotiations looking toward a reorganization of the society, the Attorney General brought the dissolution. CRAVEL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. L.

M. The knife wound was through the heart. The knife was made from an electric cutter in the tailor shop. The colored man had but one arm, while his assailant was a large youth with two arms. The white man is said to have been generally disagreeable. The affair arose over a contention between the two men as to whether the B. & O. R. R. and the C. & O. R. R. passed through Akron, Ohio. Thomas will be tried in the Circuit Court here July 17th for murder.

America Crowding Hard-Backed Not by 17 Million Bibles a Year! Most of the much prized and ancient bibles in the world—the 700-year-old, also covered, Byzantine scribbles themselves—last year in Paris. GLAD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY FROM PAINTING BY PLOGKHORST There is a place in America where there is a tourism and publications of mining and industry-entry courses who have made touring the anthology of the mine for the economy increase in bids since the world war. Surely enthusiasm so far gathered迪尔 so that the city is just used a market for religious items in the town. The interest in religious thought from the middle of its center, is increasing the constant growth of the "Warrior or After League," a non- conformist organization which encourages pupils to either their children around in the home for religious pretention or to pray," says John Murrayhill, Chinese, secretary of the bush which now is locked by many- well-known business men throughout the United States. "About 17 million bibles and tens of thousands of bible-science courses were sold in the United States last year" states G. E. Bogart, commissioner of the Direct Selling Federation Chicago, who has been gathering the business societies of the survey, "ann 1929 promises to smash all previous records. "One bible house clone has seventy-five thousand republican and distributing channels this year more than one-third of which will be actively selling bibles the entire year through. The 1929 sales of independent companies run several thousand churches, causes the majority in the churches and towns." The increased use of bibles in hotel rooms is the final confirmation of three facts, says Fred Fulton, Milwaukee, the successful automotive equipment manufacturer who also is international president of the Gideon society supplying bibles gratis to hotels. "We find no difficulty now in getting tools to let us supply a bible for our room" he says. "The bible is getting to be standard equipment and the extent to which it is used moves it is growing more popular every day." Sunday School Lesson This book which will be studied for three weeks is rich in thrills. Youth is particularly fascinated in reading these accounts which help to emphasize the fact that truth is stranger than fiction. Plan to read all twelve chapters in these three weeks. Portions especially indicated for study this time by the Lessons Committee are 1:1-21; 2:13-19; 4:19; 7:28; 8:15-18; 9:20-23; 10:1-19; 12-9. Daniel did not follow the saying which is an excuse for many extra sins when away from home: "When in Rome do as the Romans do." Had he even observed the examples of his own people when back in Palestine he would have followed the base customs of the Polishians. Here is a bad who was deported as a captive and who held to the ways he had learned in his home back in Jucca. This young fellow was soon noted by Aspemz, the keeper of the contents in the household of Nebuchadnezzar. When the king asked that only he be beheaded out and brought to him for special favor this boy was chosen, as well as three of his companions. The specific youth in whom is noblem but suffered and skillful in the discipline, endured with knowledge and understanding science, and had the ability to stand in the king's place. Among these four, in Jerusalem, were invited to eat its famous food that was prepared on the court table. these men and itself above the desire. For a person in the houses these men that had been outraged to hide would be served. A man is in need for conscience and Daniel does that very well that he and his friend may follow a vegetarian diet and take care during the coming ten days of quarantine. They know exactly the insanely better than those who would endure that sort of nothing. When the test came it took only a glance to the appearance of those who followed the aim of the mission the medical examination by the these stood true. --- JINGLE BELLS BY FRANK R. ADAMS ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK B. DRUEN ```markdown ``` Final Instalment "Wait a minute," I said. An idea had struck me. "I have a friend in the next coach who will pay my fare." "All right. Let me meet him." The conductor was frankly soceptical. I led the way with some misgiving across the swaying platform to the smoking car ahead. "Yes, Julius was still there, his back turned toward us. Evidently he was greatly contented with his lot in the world." I crowded into the satt in front of him. "Suffering cats." The cigar fell from between Julius's lips. "Yes, it's your old pal, Tom Bilbeo." I said reassuringly, at the same time down my left eyelid. "Certified, he preserved a discreet silence. He had no way of knowing what my next move was going to be." Julius," I said heartily, "I find that I have come away from home without any cash, and I want you to pay my fare." Julius laughed a hearty, ringing laugh. "Me, pay your fare? I don't know you from Adam." I leaned over and whispered in his ear. "There is a sheriff in the next car behind." I said. "If you pay my fare I won't tell him you are on the train." It was a long shot, but he had no means of knowing whether I was telling the truth or not and it won. "Why didn't you say that in the first place?" Julius said heartily, reaching down in his pocket and producing a roll of bills, one of which he handed to the conductor. "Where do you want to go to?" asked that worthy. Julius looked inquiringly at me. "I am going with the gentlemen." I said to the gentlemen. the colon, the comma, the hyphen, and who the colon, the comma, the hyphen, and who I am not sure what to do, which except I get it. I will get the wants answered. "I see in science for some time digesting this. Finally he grinned." "How do you think you will get the pearls?" he asked at length. "Perfectly simple, my dear Julius." I answered, patronizingly. "All I have to do is to go to the postmaster of your town as soon as this tran gets in and ask him to hold all mail addressed to a man by the name of Julius something or other. There can't be many Juliuses, and I will be pretty sure to get the right package." "Darn clever," he admired. "It would work, too, if I had addressed that package to myself, but I didn't. Besides my real name ain't Julius." He leaned back and surveyed me with an impudent smile. My face must have shown how crestfallen I was at having my sciene overthrown. I wasn't much of a detective, after all not to have thought of this simple device for evading me. Now I had betrayed my plan to him and it was worthless. "Don't be down-hearted, pal," he said encouragingly. "You've done pretty good for an amateur, but I am too old a hand for you. I have been up against this game too often." He was still telling himself how good he was when our train came to a slow stop. We both looked out to see if it was a station. It was not. We were in the midst of a snow-piled prairie. "What the dance is the matter?" Julius inquired anxiously. Every one was asking the same question, turning to one another in the stiles. Finally some one got out to see, and returned shortly with the information that we were stuck in a snow-drift with every probability of being there for some time. After we had waited quite a while I had a new idea. "You can't going to save me, are you, pal?" asked Julius. You better keep an eye on me if you ever expect to see me again." "I'll take a chance on that," I assured him. "You've got a fat chance of getting away in this kind of a country with the snow eight feet deep." My action in deserting him evidently hurried him, but he did not follow. With most of the other male passengers I got out and walked toward the head of the train. They went on to see how badly we were stuck, but I stopped at the railway post office car. The mall clarked in the car apparently welcomed a slight vacation before they got to the next town, and they were not averse to talking to a picturequeen like myself. A man in a suit is holding a book and talking to a woman in a dress. ... It contained twelve beautiful, large eggs. . . planation of how there came to be only one leg to my pair of trousers, and I kept them interested by telling them about the robbery of the Pearls. When I explained that the booty was in their own car in a parcel-post package mailed at Fair Oaks, they were eager to help me. "It will be a comparatively simple matter," said one of them, "to find all the other cases which were mailed from Fair Oaks. I don't think there were many. It will be against the law for us to let you examine them, but you can make a memorandum of where ... It contained twelve they are being sent and you can trace the address that way." That was even more than I had dared hope. It is rather difficult to get Uncle Sam's clerks to do anything out of their routine business, and the mail is an especially inviolable department. After a few minutes' search they showed me a dozen packages which had come on at Fair Oak. All but three of them were addressed to a mail-order company in the city, and two of the remainder were obviously books. That left only one package under the table. It was about ten inches long, nine inches wide, with a depth of two or two an, one-half inches. It was a little heavy, but it was doubtless with packed back to insure its arrival in good order and also in order to escape detection. "All you have to do," said the railway clerk, "is to take this address, and when you get to the city go to the postmaster and have him hold this for identification." I thanked the boys and returned to my car. As I had rather more than half suspected, Julius was not there, nor did I ever set eyes on him again. I did not care. I had the pearls once more; or at least I had then where I could get them. They were really safer in the mail-car than they would have been in my own possession. CHAPTER XV. THE PEARLS AT LAST After half an hour of delay we got under way once more, and shortly arrived in town. I went direct to the post-office just as I was. Although the postmaster first regarded me with suspicion, owing to my motly garments I explained my connection with the Daily Mail and gave him enough of my story to arouse his interest. He sent for the package under suspicion and assured me that he would keep it personally until I arrived with Maryella to identify the pearls. I went to my own room and changed to a suit of regular clothes. Then I telephoned the Old Soldiers' Home to see if Maryella had gone back there. Colonel Stewart informed me that the entire party had left to catch the afternoon train and that Maryella was in Fair Oaks waiting to be joined by the others. When the train came in I was down at the station to meet them. Maryella was expecting me, and her eye sight me anxiously in the throne that was waiting in the station. I greeted the others perforantly and drew her one side. "I have located them at the post-office, but you have got to come over and identify them." She squeezed my hand. "Oh Tom," she said sweetly, "you are wonderful." I swelled with pride as I disclaimed any special credit for helping her out of her predicament. I hiked a cab and together we went to the post-office. The postmaster was expecting us and we were readily admitted. The box lay on his desk, and after a short explanation from Maryella he opened it. It contained twelve beautiful, large eggs! We left the post-office shortly crevetfallam. I had been so positive that package contained the pearls that would have staked my life or I have just fouled me again! Maryella was excited. --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Magazine Page "What shall I do?" she moaned. "How can I ever tell Mrs. Hemmingway?" I was too humiliated by the failure of my plan to be very fertile in offering suggestions. I felt that I was in disgrace with Maryella once more, and I had planned to ask her to marry me when I restored the necklace. "I just can't face her, that's all!" Maryella stated mournfully. "I tell her if you want me to." I offered. "At least I can do all the disagreeable work, even if I wasn't very bright." e beautiful, large eggs. . . "Oh, will you?" Maryella smiled wistfully. "That will make it a little easier. I don't know how I can place them, but I suppose that it I work my fingers to the bone all the rest of my life, like women did in the story about the diamond necklace, I can replace them before I die." "But the diamonds in de Maupassant's story were only paste. Maybe Mrs. Hemmingway's pearls were imitation." "No such luck," moaped Maryella. "These were real ones." We took a cab to the Hemmingway's house to get it over with as soon as possible. We got there almost as soon as they did. They appeared very happy, and were even nice to me; which was more than I expected, considering the way they had felt toward me during the last couple of days. While Maryella stood tearfully by I told them the story of the necklace and how we had traced them and discovered only the package of eggs. Mrs. Hemmingway heard me through without interruption, sniling sympathetically. At the end she laughed. I gazed at her anxiously. Was she going insane at her loss? No; her amusement was genuine. "Oh, I am sorry," she said at last, "that I caused you so much trouble; but here are the pearls." She reached in her hand-bag and produced the strand, lustrous and satiate against her throat, around which she clasped it. "Why, how did you get them?" stammered Maryella, confused. "I saw them lying on your dresser the night that John came back to the Old Soldiers' Home, and as I knew you were through with them I picked them up!" It seemed simple enough, and Maryella and I laughed with relief as we went down to our cab once more. Once inside, she had her hand on my arm and said: "Anyway, Tom, it was aplendid you to make the effort you did, and I will never forget it." "Never!" I asked. "No!" "Not even after you are married to Jim Cooper!" I asked gloomily. She langed. "No, because I am never going to marry Jim Cooper!" "Not merry Jim Cooper!" I repeated. "Then whom are you going to marry?" "That depends entirely upon you," she said, and I started a traffic policeman by making my next remarks in pantomime. We went out together the following week after the snow had melted and operated on Grandmother Page for a new pump-gear. She was absurdly grateful, and didn't stop once all the way home, although it took us nearly three hours to make the trip because it is hard to drive using only one arm. Let all for the best!
