Gaston's stimulating series of articles reviewing the history and constructively criticizing the Colored Church begins in THE APPEAL Next Week VOL.39 NO.23 WITN RACE IS 100 YEARS AHEAD OF AFRICA, SAYS EDUCATOR Africa Offers Opportunity for Labor of Trained Colored Men. SETS STANDARD FOR WORLD Dr. James Henderson is Greatly Pleased With Progress of Race In America Atlanta, Ga., June 8.—That the colored man of America is in every way a hundred years ahead of the natives of South Africa, is the statement of Dr. James Henderson, a noted educator from that country, who is spending a few months in America in the study of race relations and colored education. This is due, he said, to the fact that the colored American came much earlier into contact with Christian civilization and has had far greater opportunities for education and self-development. He was particularly impressed with the economic progress which the race has made in this country, which he said was far beyond anything he had expected. Africa Open Field Dr. Henderson has given his life to the education of the natives of British South Africa, having been for many years principal of Lovedale Institute, the great African Tuskegee a missionary institution with a faculty of 60 and a student body of 990 While in Atlanta he visited a number of colored colleges and was greatly pleased with them, commenting most favorably on their fine equipment, competent and devoted teachers and intelligent students. A number of well-trained American colored people, he said, are rendering fine service in Africa as teachers and social workers. Wherever they have empathy they have empathy, was his emphatic testimony. He believes that the number of such workeers will greatly increase and in this way the educated American colored man is destined to make a great contribution to Africa's development. Sets New Standards The good will work of the Interracial Commission, of which he has heard in Africa where its methods are beginning to be adopted, interested Dr. Henderson greatly. The problems of race relations, he said, are much more difficult there than here, and much further from solution. It was his opinion that the progress of the American colored man in facing a new standard for world in the development of backward peoples. From Atlanta Dr. Henderson went to Tuskegee Institute. MIGRATION MAY STOP LYNCHING, SAYS WORLD Suggestion is made to colored people that they foster the migration of their brethren from lynching districts, in an editorial published in the New York Evening World. Says the editorial: "If farmers and planters of a county were certain that a lynching would be followed by the immediate departure of every field hand, the more responsible the county would be least to elect sheriffs who would insure against such a walkout at a time when cotton demanded cultivation or when the crop was ready to pick. Certainty that labor would be expensive and hard to find would be a real deterrent to lynching outrages." THE ACME PALM ROOM HAS GRAND OPENING The grand opening of the Acme Palm room, 3117' Wabasha street, Wednesday evening was enjoyed by quite a large crowd.

SOUTH IMPOSING FINES ON AGENTS FOR LABOR (Crusader Service.) Greensboro, N. C., June 7.—The state of North Carolina continues its vain and futile attempt to stem the colored exodus by inflicting fines upon labor agents.

JUNE 9, 1923 NEW MOTOR APPARATUS OF COLORED FIREMEN Photo BROOKS Company Has Grown From 4 to 13 Men and From Horse Drawn Vehicle to Motorized Equipment Since October, 1885; Now Back In Old Engine House. A steady rise from the old horse-drawn Chemical No. 4 in 1885 to Engine Company No. 9, with the last word in fire-fighting equipment, in 1923 is the story of Captain William R. ("Billy") Godette and St. Paul's colored fire company. Company "Back Home." Leaning back in his chair in front of the engine house at Marion and Edmund streets, Captain Godette told The Appeal man how he and four others occupied the same site beginning October 18, 1885, as Chemical No. 4. We stayed here on this corner for two years," said Captain Godette, "and then moved out on Front and Mathilda where we have been ever since, until January 18, of this year. In those days the company was much smaller. Wilson C. Hawkins was captain; John Chur, lieutenant; Ed. Wall and Randolph Benz, pipemen. I was the driver. Yes, it does feel like coming back home." Reorganized in 1912. In 1912 the company, then known as Supply Hose No. 5, was reorganized as Engine Company No. 22 with the following personnel: W. R. Godette was raised to the rank of captain; Philip H. Anderson (deceased), lieutenant; George D. Charleston and Albert Godette (deceased), pipemen; W. E. Mitchell, engineer; H.C. Jones, stoker; A. L. Yeiser, engine driver and Grant Charleston, hose cart driver. Charles Brown retired on a pension in 1912, just before the reorganization after having served continuously for 25 years, less two days. Philip Anderson retired in 1915. Two Platoons in 1918. In 1918 when the two platoon system went into effect, the company was raised to 14 men, seven on night duty and seven on day duty. At this time the following men were added to the roster: Robert Hopkins, Steve Hopkins, Ed. L. Jones, A. B. White, N. A. Evans, and S. F. Lewis. Other men who have been with the company are Fred Toby, who served seven years and is now on a disability pension; John Benjamin, who served four years and William Raspberry, who left in 1918. The company at the present time consists of the following men: William R. Godette, captain; H. C. Jones, lieutenant; W. E. Mitchell, engineer; N. A. Evans, assistant engineer; George Charleston, Arthur Botts, William J. Davenport, J. T. Harris, Ed. L. Jones, S. F. Lewis, Earl W. Neil, Arthur White, and A. L. Yeiser, pipemen. Apparatus Last Word. The new motor equipment given the company when it moved back into the Edmund street barn is a combination pump and hose cart and is declared to be the very latest thing in fire fighting apparatus in the Northwest. The car completely equipped weighs 7 tons and is capable of a little better than 35 miles per hour. The pump, attached to the motor, can pump water 796 feet in the air, or 4 feet higher than the Woolworth building in New York. N. A. Evans, who drives the vehicle, admits with the captain that he is not interested so much in seeing how fast the car can run to a fire as he is in getting there without an accident. "Although I know that we have the right of way," said Chaufeur Evans, "I would rather a house burn down than these seven tons should mangle a child or smash a loaded Ford." Inside the hood of the engine is as spick and span as a new pin. The men at the house take great pride in keeping the "works" as shiny as the outside. Neighborhood Won Over. According to Captain Godette, several factions in the neighborhood were opposed to the colored company moving into the house and told the chief as much. Headquarters, however, told the delegations that the Front street residents were fighting to keep the company out there, and anyway, the colored company was the one which the chief had selected for that district. Since the boys have been in the house, the neighborhood has been completely won over, and now different ones are telling the men how others circulated petitions to keep them out. The greatest impression has been made on the people and upon passersby, by the construction of a lawn and flower beds where before there were only a muddy gutter. Black dirt, so fresh the blow force and some white paint soon transformed the spot. It is now the talk of the neighborhood. Few Bad Fires Now. "Fires?" Oh, yes, there are fires enough, but they are not the big ones of the old days," said Captain Godette. Steel and concrete cones were used to confine the armed fire fighting equipment check them before they got started good." HARMONICA CHAMPIONS MAKE STAGE DEBUT (Crusader Service.) New York, June 7—Benny Kossover (Jewish) of the Bronx, and Herbert Leonard (colored) of Harlem, continued their victorious careers yesterday by taking to the stage and knocking 'em dead in vaudeville. The two boys recently won the championships in state and national harmonica contests, the Jewish boy being awarded first prize, and the Afro-American lad coming a close second with second prize. In their first appearance behind the footlights they achieved the summit of vaudeville fame by "stopping the show." In the language of the two-a-day they were a "riot," a "panic" and a "wow." The scene of their debut and triumph was Keith's Royal theater, 149th street and Third avenue, where they have been given a week's engagement as one of the rewards of winning the championships a week RECEIVER ASKED FOR KNIGHTS OF K.

STATUTE Albany, June 6.—In an attempt to dodge the rigors of the Walker law, which will bare the secrets of the Invisible Empire, the knights of the Ku Klux Klan and their women's auxiliary, the Kamelia, filed certificates of incorporation with the secretary of state today. The objects of both organizations are declared to be "purely benevolent and social." State authorities, hold that the effect of the incorporation is to bring the Klan more surely under the Walker act. COL. YOUNG BURIED WITH MILITARY RITES (Washington, June 6.—The body of Col Charles Young, the only colored man to reach that rank in the United States regular army, was buried in Arlington National cemetery today with full military honors.

WINS JIM CROW CAR CASE IN WASHINGTON Colored Plaintiff Awarded $500 For Being Put Off Inter-State Train. Washington, June 8.—James A. Cobb, chairman of the Legal Committee of the District of Columbia branch, National association for the Advancement of Colored People, has won before the Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, a Jim-Crow case involving the right of a colored passenger to travel from Maryland into Washington without having to change to the Jim-Crow section of the car he was riding in. The case, won on appeal, awards $500 and costs to Mr. Cobb's client. William A. Waller, the plaintiff, for whom the victory was won, was ejected from a train operated by the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad company, because, having purchased a ticket from Maryland into Washington, he refused to change to the Jim-Crow section of the train when ordered to do so by the conductor. The victim took place in the state of Maryland, about midnight, and Mr. Waller was compelled to remain there until sometime the next morning. In affirming the verdict in favor of Mr. Waller, made by a lower court, Judge Barber of the Court of Appeals said: "We think that the appellee was an interstate passenger and that the Maryland Statute requiring segregation was not applicable to him."

New York, June 4.—That Marcus Garvey played the races and "went broke" at the Jamaican race tracks during his trip to the West Indies was the startling testimony brought out on Thursday by the government witness, "Sir" Sydney de Bourg, "Knight Commander, Order of the Nile, and Leader of the Far Western Provinces of the West Indies, Duke of Uganda, Duke of Nigeria," etc., etc.,—all titles generously donated to him by the Hon.

"Sir" Sydney had been in Jamaica with Garvey during the famous trip. After trying to break down the witness' testimony that he had lived luxuriously while in Jamaica on the money of his deluded and fanatic followers, Garvey opened the way for a devastating bit of testimony.

Garvey's debut as his own attorney found Leo Healey, assistant district attorney, and former counsel for the North American Steamship Line, on the stand. Garvey persisted in asking Healey questions calculated to elicit Healey's personal opinion of Marcus Garvey, defendant. Garvey soon discovered he had a witness of pronounced opinions on the subject.

Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minnesota, as second-class mail matter, June 6, 1885, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. THE MOTON MESS In the veterans' hospital tangle, which seems now to be settled because of the influence of Tuskegee's head, Principal R. R. Moton had an opportunity to wipe out all the counts against hm as a leader of colored Americans, and come to the fore as a man and a real leader. There was his cowardly refusal to fight when his wife was put out of a Pullman car; there was his infamous trip overseas to tell the colored dugboys not to demand the democracy that they had been fighting for; there was his recent cringing speech at Springfield, III; there is his whole "stay-in-your-place" life and philosophy—all these could have been erased at one fell swoop, if he had stood firm for what he must know to be right. The white Southerners whom Moton serves recognize that a black personnel is right and just. Why doesn't he see it? According to the Opelka Daily Times (white) a black personnel is not only right, but it is the logical thing. If Moton could not endorse a black personnel and still remain a "good Nigger" in the eyes of his white masters, he could have renounced the crowd and come. North. By this act he would have been respected enough by them to be hated, instead of patred and despised; and in the minds of his own people he would have been a redeemed man. It would have been bad enough, but still better than his present stand, for him to have advocated a complete white personnel. Instead he has committed himself to white superiors and colored minor officers, among them colored nurses. Now, few white men in the South can be trusted with colored women and even a moron would hesitate at endorsing the association of colored nurses with the political pawns that Southern politicians will place in the hospital. Reports have it that a week or so back Principle Moton's life was threatened by white Alabamans because he advocated black doctors . It is safe to predict that if the mixed personnel outlined above goes through his life will not be safe wherever a self-respecting block man lifts his head. MARCUS.GARVEY. L. L. B. Garvey is one thing more—an attorney. If you give anybody or anything, a jackass included, enough rope, he'll hang himself. Spectators in the court room of Judge Mack in the federal court of New York where Marcus Garvey is being tried on a charge of using the mails to defraud are witnessing the choicest demonstration of suicide that has ever been brought to the fore. Publicity in the country's magazines, robes, parades, titles, braid, buttons and signed sermons have not satiated the Hon. Marcus' craving for notoriety. He must personally demonstrate to the government of the United States, in its own court, that he is a great man. Imagine if you can the kind of impression created by a pudgy black man striding back and forth across the court room, pulling at his mustache, majestically twirling a gold monocle, dramatically bellowing out ridiculous questions, with every move and syllable showing more plainly his inordinate vanity and vast, unplumbed ignorance. Such a man was the Moses—the god—of thousands of black people a year ago; even now some of the faithful cling to him. We want the court to be mercifully quick with a sentence and close his braying jaw. The most that can be said for him is that he stole in millions, not in dimes; and dreamed in empires, not in city lots. GUILTY The sensational Ku Klux Klan trial in Minneapolis is at an end with the five Klan defendants found guilty of criminal libel. The verdict of the jury will meet with general approval. It is true the Klan critics of the administration of Mayor Leach made startling disclosure of vice conditions, and produced enough evidence to make the mayor step a little. Undoubtedly in this respect the Mill City executive and his police force will find it to their interest to show more concern in the matter of law enforcement. But the methods adopted by the Klan for the furtherance of its prop- aganda are the kind that good Americans will not stand for. There is no place in this country for any organization insisting upon masked operations and much less for one that parades in the dark under the shroud of Americanism, and in the name of reform. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of The Appeal: The time has come when the colored people of Minnesota will have an opportunity to show their appreciation for faithful services and uniting efforts put forward to assist them in attaining such justices through federal legislation as has been attained by voting for Thomas D. Schall to succeed the late Senator Nelson in the United States Senate. Any colored man voting against this gentleman will not alone be committing a base act of gratitude, but will also be guilty of disloyalty to the best interests of his race. W. R. Donovan, Chairman Sleeping and Dining Car Employees Union. Kansas City—Because, she aaves in her petition, her husband did not take a bath in their twelve years of married life, slept until 4 o'clock every afternoon, then arose, bought a nickel's worth of candy and a six-cent novel, and went back to work. She was suing her husband, Carl Van Kanegom, for divorce. She said she gathered sticks in the park to keep the home fires burning. Women Plan Memorial to Escaped Convict Bristol, VT.—A memorial to an escaped convict is to be erected in this town in the heart of the Green mountains. The man, who killed a neighbor farmer in Unadilla, N. Y., was John Broodt, a Dutchman. The Outlook club, a woman's organization of Broodt, is going to place a suitably inscribed stone marker on the site of his log hut at the foot of South mountain because Broodt was the first white man known to have settled within the limits of the present town. Broodt had a dispute with his neighbor in Unadilla over a line fence between their farms. A fight followed and the neighbor was killed. Broodt was convicted of murder, but escaped, bought ammunition, fishing trakles and assaults to secure his entry into Vermont. In the dense forest near South mountain, a mile south of what is now Bristol village, he ended his flight. There he built a log cabin and remained in solitude with his faithful dog, for twelve years without seeing another white man. When found by a surveying party in 1785 he was clad in deerskin and his dog, which he said had been black when he entered the woods, was nearly white. Broedt was pardoned later. The stone chimney which he built was standing until a few years ago, and even now the difapidated hearth marks the spot of his hermitage. THE MAYFIELD HERALD J. H. Shollenberger, in charge of the milling and baking investigations of the Department of Agriculture and Miss L. M. Alexander, expert bread maker of the department. It is here that the milling and baking value of the different grades of wheat grown in the United States, is determined. Continued from first page. 5, 1922. The amount the company had in the bank at the latter date was $31.12. At Friday's session the court was even more crowder than usually. The judge stipulated that Garvey, who is acting as his own attorney, gave indication of being somewhat cramped by the terrible blows of recent testimony. His impressive rear was absent. His whole attitude indicated a lowering of morale. He fell into blunder after blunder and once set the court into an uproar made by objection to a ruling by Judge Mack in support of Prosecutor Mattuck had objected to one of Garvey's questions, but had been overruled by the court. Garvey, however, broke into hot protest. Judge Mack informed him that he had already overruled the objection of the prosecutor, whereupon Garvey bowed, "objection," and the court went into apasm of mirth as the self-constituted lawyer put an exception into the record on behalf of his opponent. Insisted on Blank Checks. When Fred Powell, at one time assistant treasurer of the Black Star Line, was being cross-examined by Garvey and had testified that all money that came from sale of stock over to Garvey, the latter asked: "For what purpose was the money turned over to Mr. Garvey?" "I can't read your mind. You took it whenever you wanted it," was the reply. "How do you know Mr. Garvey took that money? A. Because I saw you. Q. Saw me? Hearsay, you mean. A. Hearsay, nothing! Say, look-a-here. I saw you get it. I saw you so as to enablis treasurer, and one of his employees, checks and he signed a whole bunch of them to you. Because I tried to get a better system you put the cold iron hand on me and told I was in a conspiracy against you. There were times, he told Garvey that he signed a whole bunch of them. I thought you were off your mind." Testimony by Merrillos brought out that the number of shares in the Black Star Line outstanding at the time of his examination was 153.028. However, that apparently is only a part, as testimony by another account of L. J. Liamson showed that forty-three stock record books are missing. Suspicious Entries Figures from the statements showed frequent items under stock-selling expenses of more than $10,000 for music."

The magazine exposed on the Crusader Magazine in an article that laid the basis for the present prosecution. The state rested its case about 2:30 P. M.

CHAPTER X- Madeline and Florence, into an ambush of vauques. Florence, inowing the Mexicans are after Madeline gets home safely but alone. made sure of this when, after looking again, she saw that Florence, in spite of the horse's breaking gale and the irregular course, was drawing slowly and surely down the valley. Madeline had not lost her head to the extent of forgetting her own mount and the nature of the ground in front. When, presently, she turned again to watch Florence, uncertainty ceased in her mind. The strange features of that race between girl and vaqueros were no longer in evidence. Majesty were in his beautiful, wonder-stretch, low down along the ground, stretching back and forth straight for the valley. Between him and the lean horses in pursuit lay an ever-increasing space. He was running away from the vaqueros. Florence was indeed "riding the wind" as Stewart had aptly expressed his idea of flight upon the flieot roan. A dimness came over Madeline's eyes, and it was not all owing to the sting of the wind. She rubbed it away, seeing Florence as a flying dot in a strange blush. What a daring, intrepid girl! This kind of strength—and aye, splendid thought for a weaker sister—was what the West incubated in a woman. The next time Madeline looked back Florence was far ahead of her pursuers and going out of sight behind a low knoll. Assured of Florence's safety, Madeline put her mind to her own ride and the possibilities awaiting at the ranch. She remembered the fall of her boys on the telephone. To be sure a windstorm had once broken the wire, But she had little real hope of such being the case in this instance. She rode on, pulling the black as she neared the ranch. It was perhaps fortunate for her, she thought, that the "climb up the slope cut the black's speed so she could manage him. He was not very hard to stop. The moment she dismounted, however, he jumped and trotted off. At the edge of the slope, facing the corrals, he halfgad to lift his head and shoot up his ears. Then he let out a pleering whistle and dashed down the lane. Madeline, prepared by that warning whistle, tried to fortify herself for a new and unexpected situation; but as she espied an unfamiliar company of horsemen rapidly riding down a hollow leading from the foothills she felt the return of fears gripping at her like cold hands, and she fled precipitously into the house. CHAPTER XI A. Band of Guerrillas Madeline bolted the door, and, flying into the kitchen, she told the scared servants to shut themselves in. Then she ran to her own rooms. It was only a matter of a few moments for her to close and bar the heavy shutters, yet even as she was fastening the last one in the room she used as an office a clattering roar of hoofs seemed to swell up to the front of the house. She caught a glimpse of wild, shaggy horses and dusty, men. She had never seen any vauques that resembled these horsemen. Vaqueros had grace and style; they were fond of lace and glitter and fringe; they dressed their horses in silvered trappings. But the riders now trampling into the driveway were uncouch, lean, and they were garqueries in a row of the raiders who had been harassing the border since the beginning of the revolution. A second glimpse assured Madeline that they were not all Mexicans. The presence of outlaws in that band brought home to Madeline her MIERCIA The Presence of Outlaws in That Band Brought Home to Madeline Her Real Danger. real danger. She remembered what Stillwell had told her about recent outlaw raids along the Rio Grande. The flying fabs, operating under the excitement of the revolution, appeared here and there, everywhere, in remote places, and were gone as quickly as they came. They were the money and land, but they would not be there and unprotected women had suffered at their hands. Madeline, hurriedly collecting her securities and the considerable money she had in her desk, ran out, closed and locked the door, crossed the patio to the opposite side of the house, and, entering again, went down a long corridor, trying to decide which of the many unused rooms would be best to hide in. And before she made up her mind she came to the last room. Just then a battering on door or window in the direction of the kitchen and shrill screams from the servant women increased Madeline's alarm. She entered the last room. There was no lock or harp on the door. But the room was large and dark, and it was half full of servants of laff hay. Probably it was the nearest place in the house; at least time would be necessary to find any one hidden there. She dropped her valuables in a dark corner and covered them with loose hay. That done, she felt her way down a narrow alley between the piled-up bales and presently crouched in a niche. With the necessity of action over for the immediate present, Madeline became conscious that she was quivering and almost breathless. Her skin felt tight and cold. There was a weight on her chest; her mouth was dry, and she had a strange tendency to swallow. Dull sounds came from parts of the house remote from her. In the intervals of silence between these sounds she heard the squeaking and rustling of mice in the hay. A mouse ran over her hand. She listened, waiting, hoping, yet dreading to hear the clattering approach of her cowboys. There would be fighting—blood—men injured, perhaps killed. Even the thought of violence of any kind hurt her. But perhaps the guerrillas would run in time to avoid a clash with her men. She hoped for that, prayed for it. Through her mind flitted what she knew of Nels, of Monty, of Nick Steeel; and she experienced a sensation that left her somewhat chilled and sick. Then she thought of the dark-browed, firewed Stewart. She felt a thrill drive away the cold nausea. And her excitement augmented. Waiting, listening increased all her emotions. Nothing appeared to be happening. Yet hours seemed to pass while she crouched there. Had Florence been overtaken? Could any of those lean horses outrun Majesty? She doubted it; she knew it could not be true. Nevertheless, the strain of uncertainty was torturing. Suddenly the bang of the corridor door pierced her through and through with the dread of uncertainty. Some of the guerrillas had entered the east wing of the house. She heard a babble of the guerrillas, the snapping of boots and clinking of pumps, minging of doors and ransacking of rooms. Madeline lost faith in her hiding place. Moreover, she found it impossible to take the chance. The idea of being caught in that dark room by those ruffians filled her with horror. She must get out into the light. Swiftly she rose and went to the window. It was rather more of a door than window, being a large aperture closed by two wooden doors on hinges. The iron hook yielded readily to her grasp, and one door stuck fast, while the other opened a few inches. She looked out upon a green slope covered with grass, and bushes. Neither man nor horse showed in the narrow field of her vision. She believed she would be safer 'hidden out there in the shrubbery than in the house. The jump from the window would be easy for her. She pulled at the door. It did not budge. It had caught at the bottom. Pulling with all her might proved to be in vain. Pausing, with palms hot and bruised, she heard a louder, closer approach of the invaders of her home. Fear, wrath, and impotence contested for supremacy over her and drove her to desperation. She was alone here, and she must rely on herself. And as she strained every muscle to move that obstinate door and heard the quick, harsh voices of men and the sounds of a hurried search she suddenly felt sure that they were hunting for her. She knew it. She did not wonder at it. But she wondered if she were really Madeline Hammond, and if it were possible that brutal men would harm her. Then the tramping of heavy feet on the floor of the adjoining room lent her the last strength of fear. Pushing with hands and shoulders, she moved the door far higher than the windows of the body. Then she stepped upon the sill and slipped through the aperture. She saw no one. Lightly she jumped down and ran in among the bushes. But these did not afford her the cover she needed. She stole from one clump to another, finding too late that she had chosen with poor judgment. The position of the bushes had drawn her closer to the front of the house rather than away from it, and just before her were horses, and beyond a group of excited men. With her heart in her throat Madeline crouched down. A srill yell, followed by running and mounting guerrillas, roused her hope. They had sighted the cowboys and were in flight. Rapid thumping of boots on the porch told of men hurrying from the house. Several horses dashed past her, not ten feet distant. One rider saw her, for he to turn to back back. This drove Madeline into a panic. Hardly knowing what she did, she began to run away from the house. Her feet seemed leaden. She felt the same horrible powerlessness that sometimes came over her when she dreamed of being pursued. Horses with shouting riders streaked past her in the shrubbery. There was a thunder of hoofs behind her. She turned aside, but the thundering grew nearer. She was being run down. As Madeline shut her eyes and, staggering, was about to fall, apparently right under pounding hoofs, a rude, powerful hand clapped round her waist, clutched deep and strong, and swung her shoel. She felt a heavy blow when the shoulder of the horse struck her, and then a wrenching of her arm as she was dragged up. A sudden blight pain made sight and feeling fade from her. But she did not become unconscious to the extent that she lost the sense of being rapidly borne away. She seemed to hold that for a long time. When her faculties began to return the motion of the horse was no longer violent. For a few moments she could not determine her position. Apparently she was upside down. Then she saw that she was facing the ground, and must be lying across a saddle with her head hanging down. She could not move a hand; she could not tell where her hands were. Then she felt the touch of soft leather. She saw a high-topped Mexican boot, wearing a huge silver spur, and the reeking flank and legs of a horse, and a dusty, dark trail. So soon a kind of red darkness velled her eyes, her head swam, and she felt motion and pain only dully. After what seemed a thousand every hours some one lifted her from the horse and laid her upon the ground, where, gradually, as the blood left her head and she could see, she began to get the right relation of things. She lay in a sparse grove of firs, and the shadows told of late afternoon. She smelled wood smoke, and she heard the sharp crunch of horses' teeth nipping grass. Volces caused her to turn her face. A group of men stood and sat round a campfire eating like wolves. The looks of her captures made Madeline close her eyes, and the fascination, the fear they roused in her made her open them again. Mostly they were thin-bodied, thin-bearded Mexicans, black and haggard and starved. Whatever they might be, they surely were hunger-striken and squall. Not one had a coat. A few they were scattered carettes in which a few had guns, and they were of diverse patterns. Madeline could pack, no blankets, and only a few cooking utensils, all battered and blackened. Her eyes fastened upon men she believed were white men; but it was from their features and not their color that she judged. Once she had seen a band of nomad robbers in the Sahara, and somehow was reminded of them by this motley outlaw troop. They divided attention between the satisfying of ravenous appetites and a vigilant watching down the forest ales. They expected some one, Madeline thought, and manifestly, if it were a pursuing pose, they did not show anxiety. She could not understand more than a word here and that they had uttered. Presently, however, the name of Don Carolres lived keen curiosity in her and realization of her situation, and then once more dread possessed her breast. A low exclamation and a sweep of arm from one of the guerrillas caused the whole band to wheel and concentrate their attention in the opposite direction. They hear something. They 1928 Grimy Hands Sought Weapons, and Then Every Man Stiffened. saw some one. Grimy hands sought weapons, and then every man stiffened. Madeline saw what hunted men looked like at the moment of discovery, and the sight was terrible. She closed her eyes with what she saw, fearful of the moment when the guns would leap out. There were muttered curses, a short period of silence followed by whisperings, and a clear voice rang out, "El Capitan." A strong shock vibrated through Madeline, and her eyelids swept open. Instantly she associated the name El Capitan with Stewart and experienced a sensation of strange regret. It was not pursuit or rescue she thought of then, but death. These men would kill Stewart. But surely he had not come alone. She heard the slow, heavy trump of hoofs. Soon into the wide aisle between the trees moved the form of a man, arms, fung high over his head. Then Madeline saw the horse, and she recognized Majesty, and she knew it was really Stewart who rode the roan. When doubt was no longer possible she felt a suffocating sense of gladness and fear and wonder. Many of the guerrillas leaped up with drawn weapons. Still Stewart approached with his hands high, and he rode right into the campfire circle. Then a guerrilla, evidently the chief, waved down the threatening men and strode up to Stewart. He greeted him. There was amaze and pleasure, and respect in the greeting. Madeline could tell that, though she did not know what was said. At the moment Stewart appeared to her as cool and careless as if he were dismounting at her porch steps. But when he got down she saw that his face was white. He shook hands with the guerrilla, and then his glittering eyes roved over the men and around the glade until they rested upon Madeline. Without moving from his tracks he came to leap as if a powerful current had shocked him. Madeline tried to smile to assure him she was alive and well; but the intent in his eyes, the power of his controlled spirit, telling her, of her peril and his, froze the smile on her lips. With that he faced the chief and spoke rapidly in the Mexican jargon Madeline had always found so difficult to translate. The chief answered, spreading wide his hands, one of which indicated Madeline as she lay there. Stewart drew the fellow a little aside and said something for his ear alone. The chief's swept up in a gesture of surprise and aguacence. Again Stewart spoke swiftly. His hearer then turned to address the band. Madeline caught the words "Don and I" and kissed her. A brief menturing protest which the chief thundered down. Madeline guessed her release had been given by this guerrilla and bought from the others of the band. Stewart strode to her side, leading the roan. Majesty reared and snorted when he saw his mistress prostrate. Stewart knelt, still holding the bridle. "Are you all right?" he asked. "I think so," she replied, essaying a laugh that was rather a failure. "My feet are tied." Dark blood blotted out all the white from his face, and lightning shot from his eyes. She felt his hands, like steel tongs, loosening the bonds round her ankles. Without a word he lifted her upright and then upon Majesty. Madeleine reeled a little in the saddle, held hard to the pommel with one hand, and tried to lean on Stewart's shoulder with the other. "Don't give up." he said. She saw him gazefurtely into the forest on all sides. And it surprised her to see the guerrillas riding away. Putting the two facts together, Madeline formed an idea that neither Stewart art nor the others desired to meet with some one evidently short in the glade. Stewart guided the roan off to the right and walked beside Madeline, steading her in the saddle. At first Madeline was so weak and dizzy that she could scare her retain her seat. She left her presently, and then she made an effort to ride without help. Her weakness, however, and a pain in her wrenched arm made the task laborsome. Stewart had struck off the trail, if there were one, and was keeping to denser parts of the forest. Majesty's hoops made no sound on the soft ground, and Stewart strode on without speaking. Neither his hurry nor vigilance relaxed until at least two miles had been covered. The soft ground gave place to bare, rocky soil. The horse snorted and tossed his head. A sound of splashing water broke the silence. The hollow opened into a wider one through which a little brook aurumed its way over the stones. Majesty snorted again and stopped and bent his head. "He wants a drink," said Madeline. "Tm thirsty, too, and very tired." Stewart lifted her out of the saddle, and as their hands parted she felt something moist and warm. Blood was running down her arm and into the palm of her hand. "Tm—bleeding," she said, a little unsteadily. "Oh, I remember. My arm was hurt." She held it out, the blood making her conscious of her weakness. Stewart's fingers felt so firm and sure. Swiftly he ripped the wet sleeve. Her forearm had been cut or scratched. He washed off the blood. "Why, Stewart, it's nothing. I was only a little nervous. I guess that's the first time I ever saw my own blood." He made no reply as he tore her handkerchief into strips and bound her arm. His swift motions and his silence gave her a hint of how he might meet a more serious emergency. She felt safe. And because of that impression, when he held his head and she saw that he was pale and shaking, she was surprised. He stood before her folding his scarc, which was still wet, and from which he made no effort to remove the red stains. "Miss Hammond," he said, hoarsely, "it was a man's hands—a Greaser's fingernails—that cut your arm. I know who he was. I could have killed him. But I mightn't have got your freedom. You understand? I didn't dare." Madeline gazed at Stewart, astounded more by his speech than his excessive emotion. "My dear boy!" she exclaimed. And then she paused. She could not find words. He was making an apology to her for not killing a man who had laid a rough hand upon her person. He was ashamed and seemed to be in a torture that she would not understand why he had not killed the man. There seemed to be something of passionate scorn in him that he had not been able to average her as well as free her. "Stewart, I understand. You were being my kind of cowboy. I thank you." But she did not understand so much as she implied. She had heard many stories of this man's cool indifference to peril and death. He had always seemed as hard as granite. Why should the sight of a little blood upon her arm pale his cheek and shake his hand and chicken his voice? What was there in his nature to make him implore her to see the only reason he could not kill an outlaw? The answer to the first question was that he loved her. It was beyond her to answer the second. But the secret of it lay in the same strength from which his love sprang—an intensity of feeling which seemed characteristic of these western men of simple, lonely, elemental lives. All at once over Madeline rushed a tide of realization of how great it THE APPEAL ASKS AS A SPECIAL FAVOR THAT ITS READERS GIVE PREFERENCE TO THE ADVERTISERS WHO SEEK THEIR PATRONAGE BY ADVERTISING IN IT.

A Short Story of Two Rehabilitated Veterans Ray Teachout was a dry goods packer earned $70 a month before the war. During the conflict he was a private in the Fourth Pioneer Infantry and in such service received an injury that made it necessary for him, after discharge, to go into some line of work that would take him off his feet. The United States Veterans' Bureau gave him a course in vocational training to prepare him to become a freight classification expert with a wholesale house. When his training was completed he was employed by one of the largest houses in St. Paul where he has charge of the important work of classifying and routing outgoing freight, at an initial salary of $100 per month and excellent chances of promotion. Albert J. Johnson of Brookings, S. D., was a welder by trade when he went into the army as a first class private in Battery C of the 147th Field Artillery. He saw much active service on several battle fronts, was wounded in the head and shell shocked. His war dislocation sited a change of position and the sited State Veterans' Bureau gave him thorough business course, and placed him in a good position with the State Bank at Baroun, Minn. the State Bureau These two cases will illustrate the results of carefully administered vocational training.
