DR. A. M. BOWLES CAPTURES WHITE BANDIT WHO HELD UP HIS DRUG STORE

DR. A. BAN Fires on Him a Until
Beating a highwayman to the first shot, Dr. A. M. Bowles, popular pharmacist, directed such a deadly fire at a masked white-hold-up man who commanded him to "hands-up" that the would-be bandit threw his gun on the floor and held his hands high, begging for his life. This reads like fiction, but it really happened last Monday night at about 11:20 in Dr. Bowles drug store, directly oppose Mechanics Bank Building, at Third and Clay Streets. Dr. Bowles was in the rear, alone, when he heard what he thought was a customer, enter the front. He walked out, only to be met by a young white man, masked, with a revolver pointing directly in his face. The visitor made a peremptory demand for Dr. Bowles to throw up his hands. Right here the Doctor did what only few men can do in such emergencies. He quickly dreaded behind his cash register, get-
out of direct range of the looking six-shoe, and read to the rear of his store, all time partially covered by his counters. The little Doctor (he is only about five feet) reached for his artillery and opened fire from his position on the bandit. Dr. Bowles' fire was so sudden and fierce that the burglar threw his gun in the direction of Dr. Bowles, reached for the skies and begged to be spared. The skimpy phantom then threw his gun with his gun (which by the way was empty at this time) and backed him into the rear, where he held him at bay with one hand and called the police station.
When the officers arrived they found the bandit sitting in the chair, with Dr. Bowles standing over him covering him with his unloaded revolver. The police were high in their communication of the redoubtable pharmacist and it is reported that they will supply him with more deadly pellets to reload his revolver. The police found this highwayman was wanted for other offences and he has been remanded to the custody of the jailer. Dr. Bowles' friends are commending him for his unusual bravery and fast thinking and at the same time expressing their happiness at the thought that he was not injured. He and his wife reside at 714 N. Fifth Street. They have two children. Miss Elise Bowles is very accomplished and is teaching in the schools at Keninsville, N. C., and his son, Mr. John Bowles, resides in New York.

RICHMOND URBAN LEAGUE
ANNOUNCES ANNUAL
MEETING
To Be At Second Baptist Church Thursday, January 9th
Eugene Kinkle Jonae Principal Speaker
The Richmond Urban League announces that its annual public meeting will be held at the Second Baptist Church, Byrd Street, Thursday, January 9th, at 8 P. M. At this time, the work of the past year will be recounted, and plans for the future will be announced.
Eugene Kincake Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, has been secured as the principal speaker for this occasion. He will tell of the work of the national organization, and of the various units of the Urban League lo-
RICHMOND; VIRGINIA; SATURDAY; JANUARY 41; 1930
cated in more than forty cities throughout the country. Mr. Jones is no stranger to Richmond, as this is the city of his birth. He received his early training in the public schools here, completing his work at Virginia Union and Cornell Universities. He has been associated with the Urban League movement since its beginning, more than twenty years ago, and has guided the growth of the organization to the point that it is now one of the recognized national social agencies in America, whose work was endorsed by ex-President Coolidge and President Hoover.
In addition to Mr. Jones, Dr. Gordon B. Hancock, of Virginia Union University, will deliver an address. For some time Dr. Hancock has been writing on the economic needs of the race, through his column "Between The Lines", carried in several of the leading Negro weeklies. For this and other reasons, he is conversant with the social and economic needs of Richmond.
This meeting is of added significance to the colored people of the city because it follows so closely the announcement of larger welfare work for Negroes here, as a result of the survey just completed by the Council of Social Agencies. This survey was a most thorough investigation of our social needs, and the Survey Committee has made some very far reaching recommendations. Much of the work of carrying out these recommendations will be undertaken by the local league in its 1930 program.
Miss Katharine H. Hawes, chairman of the Board of the local league, will preside, and the following program will be rendered:
Opening Chorus—Choir Second Church.
Invocation—Dr. W. J. Clark.
Welcome Address—Dr. J. T. Hill.
Address, "When the Manna Faileth"—Dr. G. B. Hancock.
Cornet Solo—Mr. Preston Johnson.
Address—Eugene K. Jones.
Negro Spirituals—Cheir.
Announcements.
The public is cordially invited to this meeting.
Southern Aid Enters Life Insurance Field.
The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., the race's oldest existing insurance company, after 37 years of conducting an Industrial Sick Benefit or Health business, will issue Industrial Life Insurance policies on and after January 1, 1930. That is, it will offer to race people the most modern type of Industrial Whole Life, 20-Year Endowment and 20-Payment Life policies, as well as its superior weekly disability contracts which pay, for one small premium, weekly benefits when the policyholders are disabled by sickness or accident and a death claim following their death.
The management of this old and stable insurance company has developed this company during its 37 years of existence from a small beginning to the largest race Industrial Health company, and this will be readily attested by the fact that it has accumulated over $900,000 Assets, and maintains a Policy Reserve of $500,000 and has paid nearly $6,000,000 to race people in claims. Therefore, in entering into a larger and more difficult to render a larger service to the race, both in giving a larger insurance coverage to policeholders and in employing a much larger number of race men and women.
In addition to enlarging its scope of insurance practice, this company has recently purchased for its future Home Office purposes, the very desirable and valuable properties at the northwest corner of Third and Clay Streets, Richmond, Va., which were erected and owned for a number of years by the Mechanics Savings Bank. This property and location are only two blocks from Broad Street, which is one of the business and longest retail thoroughfares in the Southland. One of the leading National banks is being erected at Third and Broad Streets, at this time, a 23-story modern banking and office building.
The reader will therefore easily comprehend that this company has secured very desirable and valuable holdings. The company is perfecting plans for extensive alterations to these properties during 1930, and when these are completed, it will occupy, as its permanent Home O..ce, three floors of the main four-story building. The Commercial Bank and Trust Company, a very successful race bank at Richmond, and other leading business and professional groups will also occupy space in these properties; thus making this central location a beehive of race activities. The sterling worth of this company and the liberal insurance patronage given it by race people, is best evidenced by the fact that the policies in force have a ratio of one to every third race person in its home state. Thus with its added insurance features, it will show a much larger business and likewise will render a larger service to policyholders and the race.

President, Central National Bank of
Richmond
In greeting the many readers of The Planet who are also friends and customers of the Central National Bank, I wish to remind them of the bright prospects that 1930 holds for you in our city, our state, and our nation.
After many years of struggle and misunderstanding, the city legislative representatives of Richmond have seen the absolute necessity for providing modern and adequate recreational facilities for the colored people of Richmond, and the establishment of a park is a matter of only a few months time and an achievement and pleasure that will be realized during 1930. The Richmond Community Fund, with the valued assistance of representatives of your own institutions, while not oversubscribed, was subscribed sufficiently to take care of all of the colored philanthropies

represented in the community chest of our city. Improvements to streets and roads in residential sections made during the past year have added immeasurably to the comfort and health of your families, and these improvements will be continued during the new year Stricter plumbing regulations which will be carried out during 1930 will insure adequate sanitary facilities for every home in our city, doing away with the dangers of disease that formerly lurked near the places where you live. The colored school system of Richmond is now well-manned and new buildings, as well as renovated schools, will take care of the proper education of your children during 1930.
The State of Virginia plans legislation during the coming year which will alleviate hundreds of your people from excessive taxation, and real estate assessments to be made this year will take into consideration the status of the people of moderate means. The State also plans to properly protect the thousands of colored people who do not operate automobiles by providing that all automobile owners carry liability insurance, and the state school system is being reorganized to give even greater opportunities to the colored school children of Virginia.
With President Hoover showing an increased interest in the colored citizens of Virginia, and a member of your own race recognized as a full-rated member of the Congress of the United States, and an appointee on several important committees, 1930 looms brightly for you so far as national affairs are concerned.
So, in keeping with this bright outlook for the New Year, I send you my sincere greetings, and my best wishes for your good health, happiness and prosperity during the year 1930. Incidentally, it might be well for you to remember always that you

HOULD you ask the captain of the traffic-police to his records, he could tell you almost exactly how many men and women will be injured on the streets on any particular day of the year. Moreover, he could tell you what hour of the day the probability of accident is greatest. I saw only recently in a medical magazine a study of the figures for the city of New York. The early-morning hours are comparatively safe; the light is good in those hours; men and women are clear-headed from the night's long sleep, and traffic is not so dense. Gradually through the morning the incidents increase; and in the afternoon the figures mourn alarmingly—until, in the late afternoon, between five o'clock and six, the highest point is reached.
That is the hour of crisis—when the day's work is over and men turn away from their benches and their deeds. The critical hour, the experts call it, and they have named it well for in that hour Fate plays hard tricks with the bodies and the souls of men.
I often wonder about it, when I sit in my office on the fifteenth floor and watch the lights go out one after another in the office buildings opposite. Every light snapped off means a desk pulled down, and a man starting away from his work. What thoughts are in his mind, as he turns up his overcoat collar and steps into the street?
Are there children and a woman waiting for him, somewhere in the suburbs? A faithful little woman, taking off the baby's shoes, and saying every time the whistle of a train is heard: "Do you think that Daddy is on that train?"
Is this the picture that is in his mind at the critical hour? Or has he telephoned that he "is kept downtown by business and won't be out until late"?
Does the twilight that draws its veil across his work lift the man higher than the level of the day's occupation? Or does it sink his thoughts lower, to meaner occupations and baser joys?
It seems to me if I were hiring a man, I should like very much to know what thoughts are in his mind, in that critical hour. I should like to know whether, if one could look into his soul, as through a window, the man would stand straight with pride under that scrutiny, or blush with embarrassment.
In the whirl of the business day, when the routine of things carries us along, we tend to be a good deal alike in our mental processes. We are not so interesting then. But the clock strikes five or five-thirty, and we are no longer clerks or plumbers or millionaires, but men—our thoughts set free. What do we think of them, at the critical hour, between five and six, when we are hurrying away from our work—the hour when the lights are glaring and, outside our souls and in, the accidents occur?

No girl, no woman can be truly beautiful if she is not healthy. An external semblance of beauty can be realized to some extent through the use of cosmetics and face lotions. The truly beautiful type of girl is the healthy type, exemplified by Betty Dumbris, of Ziegfeld's Broadway success, "Whoopee," who needs no make-up, except for stage or screen work. Miss Dumbris says that the attractive glow of beauty comes through good health, attained by good daily habits. The first principle is to keep the mouth clean, the breath sweet; the voice clear, and to ward off the first signs of a cold. She stresses the importance of this so that she will not disappoint her public by losing time through illness. Her great secret is the daily use of the lastingly effective French antiseptic known as La Lasine which avoids colds and the many other ills caused by the germs of dangerous diseases that start in the mouth. Now that the season of sore throat and colds is here, and those with weakened bodily resistance being susceptible to its devastating ravages, no better preventative is known than the use of La Lasine at least once a day as a mouth wash or throat spray to check these diseases.

JOHN MITCHELL, JR.
—
GREAT EDITOR HAS FALLEN
The death of John Mitchell, Jr.,
editor of The Richmond Planet, of
Richmond, Va., removes from active
life one of the most fearless news-
aver men the Negro hap produced
me years ago, it was the pleasur
of the writer to visit Richmond, unc
ne man could visit Richmond, ‘wit.
out meeting the courageous edito: of
‘The Planet, and Bank President. He
impressed me as a man who loved
justice and hated injustic.. He
threw himself body and sou! against
the lynching evil and at @ tine when
it took real courage to champion the
cause of law against mo} violence.
Tt is said on one occasion he saved
the lives of two wome. who were
about to be lynched, a the risk of
his life. He rode that lawless
community, not know:ng what, tie
he would be kille: ‘rom ambush and
Snatched these wn‘ortunates, who
were soon to me mothers, from
the fiead'sh clutches of the mob.
N. Ae v., that has done
work in the cause of law
ni, owes a debt of grati-
men of the type of John
Jv, of Richmond, Va.—
Star, Wichita, Kan., De-
, 1929.
MITCHELL, JR., GONE
frozen fingers of death
‘led the editorial pen from the
s of John Mitchell, Jr., a few
usys ago. For more than forty-six
ears he edited the Richmond Planet,
which he was founder and owner.
John Mitchell and The Planet quick-
ly received national recognition and
Deeame our most valued racial asset.
He was a product of Richmond,
Va., educated in her schools; he had
in him the inate fiery burnings of a
Southerner, Few men, perhaps none,
ever lived in the South and stood up
‘against dangerous odds and said and
wrote in defense of the Negro as
did John Mitchell, Jr.
‘He was brave, courageous and
even fearless to a fault. This dead
patriot’s contribution to the develop-
Soxt of the young men of our race
wilt never be forgotten.
John siitchell entered into large
pusiness; he was founder and presi
dent of the Mechanics Savings Bank,
Richmond, Va. He was big hearted
and sympathetic and this was well
Known by all. Failing Negro, bust
ness concerns and ambitious begin.
ners rushed to John Mitchell; he
tried to help all and later found him
self and his bank in a bad way.
The failure of his bank and th
long court litigation does not tak
from John Mitchell the honor an
glory he richly deserves for mor
than forty-six years of unflinchin
defense of his race. We feel keen!
the death of this brave man. Ou
personal friendship dates back man:
Years. Peace to his ashes.—Christiai
Review, Philadelphia, Pa., Decem)

next issue w'tin Roscoe C.

a Vox Populi. in which
we hope to have a cross
section of live thoughts
on pregnant questions.

SPADER--THE WORLD'S GREATEST PEANUT VENDER
HIS REAL name is Archibald Campbell Ceruly, but in the dim distant past some one nicknamed him "Spader." Everybody calls him Spader today. He started selling peanuts as a small boy under "Ole Jim Salter." Born in the city of Pennington, N.J., Spader later moved to Princeton, N.J. where hungry col-

You look to see from whence this cry comes. There, weaving his way through the crowd, is an old colored man busily selling his wares. He is decked out in a brilliant orange Prince Albert coat with a double row of huge black buttons, orange trousers and a stove-pipe silk hat. Across the front of the hat in white letters is printed the sign "Spader, King of Peanut Sellers."
Every student who has ever attended Princeton since the early nineties knows Spader. He is a Princeton institution. His selling patter is just as much a part of Princeton tradition as the old college songs. At all the games he can be heard.

HIS REAL name is Archibald Campbell but in the dim distant past some of named him "Spader." Everybody Spader today. He started selling peanuts a boy under "Ole Jim Salter." Born in the Pennington, N.J., Spader later moved to P. N.J., where hungry college students provided a ready market for his wares.
The theme of this story is not based on the mere item of peanut selling. Men are selling this food product every day, either over store counters or from push carts. Our interest in Spader lies in the extraordinarily unique salesmanship that he has developed. He has mastered that fundamental rule of business "it pays to advertise." Spader is his own advertisement.

IN THE early part of 1908 Jack sailed for London. For two years he had chased Burns around the world. Consequently his entire negotiations for matches were now toward a championship encounter with the champion, Burns. Prominent sport authorities had recognized Johnson's logical claims.

JACK made innumerable concessions to Burns during the negotiations. He even consented to Burns's manager acting as referee, so sure was he of his skill and training tactics. This was the first time in pugilistic history a contestant's manager served also as referee.

Spader "special delivery." It is not necessary for him to climb into the stands to hand out his wares. He can throw a bag with uncanny accuracy and catch his nickel at almost the same time. In the winter "New Jersey's fastest peanut seller" takes his stand at the Trenton arena. Here amid the dust of the resin and the thud of the fighter's blows, one can clearly hear him cry:
"Get yer hump back peanuts, HEAH,
Get your double jointed peanuts, HEAH!"
One evening a hard working announcer after frantic efforts had finally succeeded in getting quiet, "Ladies and gentlemen," he shouted,
"I have this announcement to make, I—"
"Get yer knock out peanuts, HEAH."
Spader as usual was on the job.
This stunt of naming his peanuts after some occurrence or event is characteristic of our friend Spader. If he is at some carnival, they are "carnival" peanuts, if he is working at a ball game, they are "home-run" peanuts, if President Hoover were present, Spader would be selling "Hoover" peanuts.

There is a deep seated plan behind Spader's tom-foolery. His aim is not simply to amuse people. His desire is to sell as many bags of his "hump backed, double jointed, well roasted, always toasted peanuts" as possible. To do that he has decided that he must attract attention. There is no doubt that he does both of these things. After thirty-five years at this work, he had accumulated a tidy sum of money. This money he invested in several propositions ranging from hogs to houses. At one time Spader owned three automobiles. However, something happened and the investment projects didn't pan out as he expected. He lost a good part of his savings in a maze of legal intricacies that he could not understand.
Spader may be down but he is not out. He is coming back and coming back strong. If you ever are in Princeton or Trenton, listen for this cry:
"Get yer peanuts, HEAH!

JACK received a warm ovation upon his arrival in Australia. However, Burns was the decided favorite in betting due perhaps to the racial element involved. Many of Burns's friends had been misled into betting on him. For in spite of Jack's known skill, Burns's reputation was formidable.

EEING HELPFUL IS A MARK OF BREEDING
What we fear most we are most sensitive about. We are always on the lookout for it. Some call it having a chip on the shoulder. This attitude of mind is something that thoughtful parent should think about, first in his own mind for fear he may transplant it in his child. It is a human trait to praise one's self and one's own family. Many terse savings which have
Mrs. Elise Ayers come down through the ages perpetuate this truth. For instance: "Every crow thinks his own the blackest." And, most often, this tendency to "blow your own horn" means that you come to believe that no one else has a horn to blow and he does he is doing so unjustly.
It also comes about that one group of people delude themselves into thinking that they really have more to "crow" about than other groups of people. And, on the other side of the picture, certain groups feel that they should be ashamed of themselves since for centuries they have not been proud of themselves. At last a reaction sets in, and those of the despised or humble group cast about for mental relief from this distressing daily atmosphere. The more intelligent study out the relative merits of humans and groups and arrive at the conclusion that most of the vainglory is unfounded. Others who have less time and inclination to think, translate their emotions into resentment, non-

for luxury? Please tell me.
A.F.
My dear, love is the greatest of luxuries. Evidently you love your man in a fine, sensible way. I think this, despite your longing for a nice wedding. I suppose you mean an ostentatious one. For the simplest wedding can be nice. Frankly, I believe big weddings are going out of fashion.
The tendency today is for privacy in heart affairs. The less we let the public in on such things, the less it will have to gossip about, should the marriage fail. Instead of throwing away money on a lavish wedding, put it into a beautiful home where you can enjoy it for many years to come. Use it to establish a beautiful setting for a continued romance.
And as for your education, why must you stop school just because you marry? Today, in our big cities, hundreds of married couples attend night school together. Other thousands take lessons through the mail and study at home together. You could even marry and continue in college. It has been done. By all means, don't cease educating yourself because you marry. For the more you know, the more likely you will be to make of marriage a success.
Stubborn Cougns Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home
Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics. From any druggist, get $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar yrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made for three times the cost. It never spoils and tastes so good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease, but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the conchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It loosens the germ-laden phlegm and eases chest紧ness in a way that is really astonishing. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a reed, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of discussing coughs, chest colds, and bronchial tubes.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION—January 4, 1930
In the case of children this attitude is disastrous. For fear that they will be taken for menial many children refuse to pick up fallen things for elders. They hesitate about getting a glass of water for a teacher. They decline to do accommodating errands. Naturally children are anxious to do things. They do not wish to do them regularly or over a sustained period because they have to be taught habits of industry. But they start out liking to be active and to be pleasing, as a rule. So, the parent, who directly or indirectly puts into the child's mind the idea that he should not be courteous and helpful, doesn't realize what damage he is doing.
The reasons back of his attitude may be deep down in the petty sufferings which he has endured over a long period of years. But the school-world in which the child finds himself is relatively free from these annoyances. The teachers are not conscious of them. The child is not. All that appears on the surface is a contrary child whose breeding and training are very poor. Such may not be the case at all. It is only the result of a wrong method in dealing with a problem.
It is much better to keep from the child all the bitterness that has crept into the parent's life. Let each one have a happy childhood. Encourage good manners toward everyone. Encourage the desire to be helpful. Only step in when gross advantage is being taken and that is not often in schools. Therefore, to earn the coveted reputation of being well-bred, parents must put behind them all thoughts of resentment, and cling to principles which they know are generally right, and only vary from them when a concrete instance demands it.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy
Lissa has blossomed into a maiden of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice—the deep contort handed down from Mamba through Baxter—has attracted much attention.
Lissa is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia, where she meets Frank North, a young Negro painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is interested in Lissa.
Lissa is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the fact that she is told to be proud of her Negro heritage, all her associates are trying their "damndest" to be white.
Gardinia Whitmore, a mutatto beauty and the true flapper type, seeks Lissa's companionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia's overtures.
Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild" party. After much inward conflict Lissa consents to go. But she soon abandons her accustomed reserve becomes the seismillating life of the party.
Prince, the village shek, whose flavor is courted by all the fair damsels, is attracted to Lissa. He proceeds to give Lissa a "good time."
Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Lissa introduces Mamba to Prince as the young couple are about to go upon another of their frequent aut rides. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor. Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spell only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissa have disappeared from the ounch.
Gardinia makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately naming her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance.
Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Bagar, who, having been told that "Prince" is none other than Gilly Bluton, whom she befriended years before, recognizes the necessity of immediate action.
Bagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the latter's underworld activities. Thereupon, she and Mamba set out for the cabin. As they approached, they hear Lissa's frightened voice.
When they open the door they find Lissa seated in a corner with her dress torn and arms locked about her legs below the knees. "Prince" stands over her in a threatening manner.
Lissa leaps into Mamba's arms and together they leave the cabin. Bagar, completely forgetting herself, unleashes her great strength upon the cowering and ungrateful "Prince," and sirangles him to death with her bare hands.
Hagar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissa to New York City, where Saint Wentworth meets her.
Saint and Lissa take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson.
—NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY—
INSTALLMENT XIV.
"How are you fixed for money," he asked bluntly.
She opened her handbag and gave him a roll of bills and a pass book on a Charleston bank. He counted the money—three hundred dollars. Then he opened the pass book. It showed an account in the name of Lissa Atkinson that had been opened nineteen years previously. He spun the pages that exhibited columns of deposits of one dollar—sometimes two—here and there a week was skipped. That was when Hagar was up for a one ne thought. After each of these eloquent breaks the amounts would run to one-fifty or even two-fifty until the deficit had been made good. He came to the final page and found the balance: fourteen hundred and twenty-five dollars. For a moment he sat struck dumb by the utter beauty of the thing that lay behind the prosaic columns of figures. Mamba—a maker of bricks without straw, a disciple of a single transcendent ideal, in the name of which she had worked her obscure miracles, with no e to know, none to applaud.
Wentworth turned with a new curiosity to examine the girl who had been the cause of such devotion. The very magnitude of the sacrifices which she represented endowed her with an importance out of proportion to herself as an individual. She was a symbol into which had gone the blind upward urges, the stumbling aspirations, the great, fantastically conceived dreams of the old woman, and behind Mamba, of millions of her inarticulate kin.
During the brief space of time that he had been with the girl, Wentworth had been conscious of a growing annoyance at her calm acceptance of the sacrifices that were being made for her, at the coolness with which she had precipitated a wreck, then left the debris for others to clear away. Mamba, Hagar, Grayson, himself, would attend to details. Why should she worry? Now the little book that he held suddenly explained her attitude. It went further and convinced him in some inexplicable fashion that her assumption was justified.
Lissa would attain her goal because she, like her grandmother, had never once removed her gaze from it. He knew, of course, of the girl's reputation in coloured circles as a singer, and of Mamba's faith in her future. Now he saw that this faith was the only thing that mattered in their lives. It had been born and bred into the girl. Her own belief in herself was supreme. Of the great

faith that she and Mamba held in common there were certain articles that she must perform Mamba h. others. It was their job to carry through together; the job of believing in a thing so intensely, so single-minded, that the day would come when that belief should become an accomplished fact. If Lissa hesitated now, if she removed her gaze from the steady light to which it had become accustomed, and turned back, dazzled and blundering, she would have broken faith with Mamba. She would be guilty of unpardonable weakness. She must look only forward, and leave the road that she had traveled to the watchful eyes of the old woman.
A pang of envy assailed Wentworth. Of late he had been enormously pleased with himself. He was a success. Charleston said so, and, as it had watched him from boyhood, it ought to know. The symbols of

conquest were his. Next week we would return to town with Valerie. then comfort—love—probably children—an ordered and beautifully completed existence. Yet there he sat envying an unknown mulatto girl, and seeing with a sudden and terrible clarity a seedy youth in a country store hunched over a guitar, groping for the unattainable with eager clumsy fingers. But the past had reached dead hands after him, guiding him imperceptibly this way and that. Forces that had driven forward in grooves for generations ha pulled against his amorphous longin, his only half-realised dreams—had neld him true to form and tradition. Behind Lissa there had beer Nothing; before her, Mamba's one immovable idea. An old loneliness that he had known in that far-gone time stabbed up through his complacence, and now he knew that it had been a singular and beautiful thing; and that there exist for certain solitary spirits a loneliness that holds more ecstasy that the delight of any human companionship. And so to-morrow was to be his wedding day. And there was Lissa following her dream.
He realised that his hands were trembling, and he tensed them savagely. He was a sentimental fool. His mother had been right. Val had been right. Life would still be an adventure
He stole a glance at his companion and realised that she was no longer conscious of his presence. She was sitting forward with her gaze fastened upon the crowds, the towering buildings, the surging traffic. Over their heads the Elevated hurled its mechanical thunders. From a yawning excavation almost directly under their hurrying wheels thudded the heavy detonations of blasting. Faces

hurled by in caxis. Faces intent and watchful swept in full tide along the pavements. After a while the gir turned toward Saint, and in her first remark showed that already she had sensed a thing that the Southern white man had never felt, that in the vast unconcern or this city there was escape; that in the very heart of this crowd there was a strange and private hiding place where no one has time to wonder who you were or what you were doing.
"This is where I belong, Mr Saint," she said. "Nobody here has time to wonder whether I am even white or colored."
Presently they were on Lenox Avenue north of the line, and the white faces were behind them. Lissa saw the change instantly, and nei composition vanished. She clapped her hands with a delight like that of a child. "Here are my folks. Mr. Saint," she exclaimed. "See, everywhere—and such big houses." The taxi swerved to the right, and they wer in a street that showed a glimpse of the East River under the high-flu-g bridge of the Elevated. Then they drew to the curb and stopped. Wentworth awakened to the realisation that he was sitting with Lissa's money and bank book still in his hands. He put them hastily back into her bag, took the valise got out, and discharged the driver.
They found themselves on the pavement before a three-story brownstone building. Over a push button beside the door was a brass plate which stated: "Rectory of St. John's Episcopal Church."
The muat' maid who admitted them said that the Reverend Thomas Grayson lived there, was at home, and would be with them presently.
In the few minutes during which

they sat in the quietly furnished room Saint was again impressed by Lissa's ease and appearance of packaging. Once their eyes met and she gave nim the bright, transfiguring smile that linked her with Mamba and Hagar, but, except in that moment, he felt she was already to home in the alien metropolis and that he was the provincial visitor.
Grayson entered, holding Saints card in his hand. He was older than as Wentworth remembered him, and his expression of seriousness had deepened almost to one of solemnity. His shoulders and chest had grown heavy with his greater maturity. The large head set firmly on his short neck gave an impression o. rock-like solidity to the figure. His ears were small and close-set, and the closely clipped graying hair revealed the lines of his skull and stressed the Negrond formation. The years that had passed since his residence in the South had produced in some subtle way an appearance more characteristically nigro, a race consciousness that had become definitely assertive. He conveyed sense of power, but it was the power of one who moves slowly, predicating action upon a laborious logic, not to be swayed by an appeal to the emotions until the matter had been thoroughly weighed. Knowing his history, one would have said that his experience in the South had taught him to fear and distrust emotional hysteria, and had swung him to pure reason as a basis for behaviour. As a result his position in Harlem was one of unique importance, for his church had attracted the rising intellectual element, and through them he was in contact with the leaders o. advanced thought among the white people of the me-

tropolis, thus profiting by this first opportunity of the race in America to meet the Caucasian upon an equal basis of give and take. Grayson showed no surprise at the visit, and sat in an attitude of easy attention while Lissa told him her story. Then the girl drew the little prayer book from her bag, opened it at the flyleaf, and handed it to him. "My mother said to show you this," she said simply, "and ask you to look out for me." He sat looking at the page for a moment, then he raised his eyes to Saint's. "The mills of the gods, Mr. Wentworth," he said; "perhaps my venture into the mission field has hered fruit after all."
He turned to Lissa. "And you will stay here for a while, at any rate, with my wife and me. We have no children of our own. She will be glad."
Saint thanked him and, feeling an enormous relief from the burden of responsibility, took his departure.
The maid appeared to show him out, and while she was handing him stick and hat he caught from the drawing room a fragment of conversation that he was never to forget: the deep voice of Grayson said. "And you, my child, have you any plans? Is there anything that you can do?" And immediately into the ensuing hush like the cry of a bird at dawn

"I can sing."
For several minutes after the departure of Lissa and Mamba Hagar stood in the road. Her eyes, still resting on the spot where the car had stood when Lissa had embraced her, were wide and intent, like those of a sleep-walker, and a faint, fixed smile was upon her lips.
In a scrawny cedar close by there sounded a drowsy flapping of wings, then Maurr. Vina's big rooster stood erect on a limb, arched his neck eastward, and flung a ringing challenge into the teeth of the advancing day.
With a start Hagar recovered herel' and looked about her. She was quite alone now, and there was something to be faced there in the dark without Mamba without anyone; all by herself now she must make plans and carry them out. She thought of Blutc lying in the shack, but with neither regret nor terror at what she had done. Only out of that thought there seemed to grow blackness that menaced Lissa and that was unendurable.
She turned and entered the cabin, and with a clumsy meticulousness, is though every simple movement were the result of an elaborate mental process, she made her preparations for devarture. In the faint glow of the lowered kerosene lamp that stood beside Maum Vina's bed, she dressed herself and made up a small pack-

Back Quit Hurting
"IN the spring (about 1924),
I was suffering with extreme weakness," says Mrs.
Martha M. Reed, 2415 Palmyra St., New Orleans, La.,
whose picture is printed above.
"This seemed to affect my back. I could not tell how much I suffered, but was tired and nervous all the time. I complained a good deal, for I just couldn't help it.
"My husband advised me to try Cardui, which I did. I took two bottles at this time, and soon I was well and strong. I seemed to be much better after taking it and my back quit hurting.
"Once since, when I felt I needed a tonic, I took two bottles of Cardui. Again I felt much stronger. I am in splendid health now, and I recommend Cardui to my friends."
