Illustrated FEATURE SECTION Washington Tribune "THE KID JOINS THE GANG" First Installment of the Confessions of a Bootlegger By "DOC" JENKINS Interesting Entertaining and Instructive THE KID HE "KID" for some time had been trying to break into the "gang." He wasn't a bad kid as kids go, and I, for one, was willing to take him on. "Red" Jackson (called so because he was as nearly coal black as a human could be), and Johnson the Swede, were also willing, but Jack ("Gentleman Jack"), Harry Whiting and "Tom Thumb" vetoed the proposition. Nix on the kindergarten stuff, they would say, and tell the "Kid" to chase on up to "Dusty's" and try and beat the rummy game. Charley, the Kid's brother, was the leader of our cosmopolitan outfit. Charley, "Red" Jackson, and myself (Doc Jenkins) were black. "Gentleman Jack" was white, and from Virginia. Harry Whiting was a little Cockney Englishman, and Tom Thumb, whose real name wasn't Thumb at all, but something like Casey or O'Connor, was an Irishman with a brogue as thick as a Puget Sound fog. ```markdown ``` Charley wouldn't vote either way about the Kid. The "Kid" was his brother he said, and he wouldn't force him on the gang. If the gang wanted him all right, let the gang decide. So there we were locked three and three until the "Bertha" docked at Smith's cove. The Kid brought the news about the stuff on the "Bertha." We were all at "Dusty's," the joint where most of the stevedores and longshoremen of the Seattle waterfront used to hang out in those days. "Red" Jackson and Tom Thumb were playing "Rummy" and the rest of us were watching—we were getting a big kick out of the way "Red" would "fall out" (win) every other pot as Tom slipped him the "Spreads." Charley and the Kid spoke Spanish. They looked like Mexicans anyway. I think they were from San Antonio or some town in Texas, and were probably mixed with "Mexicano" somewhere down the line; so when Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing E GANG "" the Kid came in and began Jabbering to Charlie in Spanish, we paid no particular attention. But Charley called "Gentleman Jack," Harry and me over and explained to us that the Kid had heard from a sailor on the "Bertha" that the purser had ten cases of "Sam Clay" he would sell for sixty dollars a case. The news was rather interesting for we had been idle three weeks; and too, we had struck a snag on our last job when Johnson the Swede, Tom Thumb and myself, each packing a gunny sack filled with a case of "bonded," had run right into the arms of four uniformed cops. We got away but we had to drop the stuff. It cost us one hundred dollars a case. We blamed Harry Whiting, who got to tinkering with that buzz wagon of his and let the cop get by without warning us when he was supposed to be looking out. Anyhow the three hundred we lost was just the amount of profit we made from the three cases brought in by Charley, Red Jackson, and Gentle- (Continued on Page 4) --- ABORN football player! How often has one heard this tribute paid to some athlete of the cleated turf, whose brilliance has blazed across football's starry-studded sky! Most athletes are made. A few are born, and it is to this "royalty of the sport" that "Jazz" Byrd of Lincoln belonged. He had something more than mere technical ability, speed, courage, stamina and form. For to this lad must go the credit of taking the annual Thanksgiving day games between Howard and Lincoln out of the quagmire of mediocrity. He it was who made those annual clashes the sporting and social event of the eastern seaboard. Race newspapers and an awakening race consciousness laid the cornerstone for the "classic," but it was "Jazz" Byrd and his "eleven second" legs who built the foundation. He, more than any other individual, carried the game from the 7,000 class to the 20,000 group. "All-America" From The Start! It was the final game of the 1922 season. Some 8,000 fans, our aristocracy of sport and society, had gathered at the American League park in Washington, D. C. They were witnessing the twenty-eighth meeting between the blue and gold of Lincoln and the blue and white of Howard. Lincoln appeared to be outclassed as the game moved into the third quarter. Howard was leading, 12-6. Suddenly, the late "Lyss" Young, Lincoln coach, stopped his worried solitary pacing. "You, Byrd," he jerked his thumb, "go in at half." Byrd went out to win with Lincoln—but he won for them! It was Lincoln's ball, second down and 80 yards to go, on her own 37 yard line. The first play carried the ball to the sidelines. Signals were barked. Lincoln's left end shifted. The writer was within 20 feet of the teams as the ball was snapped. Then, almost quicker than the eye could discern, came the lad who broke Howard's morale. Through a tiny hole along the weak side of the line he slipped. Clutching fingers slipped off him as though he were a phantom. A paralyzing stiff arm which crashed a tackler into oblivion—a dancing pivot—full speed ahead in half a dozen steps—and Byrd was speeding toward's Howard's distant goal line. And then, came S-P-E-E-D! Dazzling speed! The speed of "eleven second" legs! Byrd needed all his natural speed that day. For Howard's safety man of that game—Cute Carter—ranked with the game's immortals for speed. As Byrd jockeyed with Carter and then literally "ran around" him to place the ball 'neath Howard's towering goal-posts, the stands went berserk. For "Jazz" Byrd, 18-year-old sophomore of Lincoln, weight 138 pounds, and the son of a Jersey minister, was "All-America" from the first play. Lincoln won that day, 13-12. Byrd vs. Doneghy! Came 1923, and another Howard-Lincoln classic. Coach Morrison of Tufts, Howard mentor that year, (he's at Lincoln now) had developed a bong-crushing grid unit. Lincoln, with another wonderful scoring machine had gone through a victorious season, marred with but one black mark. Doneghy was the key-man at Howard, while at Lincoln—who else but Byrd. Howard was 6-5 favorites to win. At 19, Byrd had come into his "Mercury" Byrd, "Human Antelope," and the gridiron's "Will o' the wisp," were some of the names he had earned for himself. Slim, almost fragile in built, elastic and loose-jointed, his remarkable co-ordination of mind and muscle had made him a master of the gridiron. He outthought his opposition and his hair-trigger brain would hardly flash a thought before his legs and arms were carrying them out. In 1923, it was Byrd and his meteoric trips from goal-line to goal-line that had spelled death for the hopes of many a school. But back to the game. Howard, with Doneghy as its pivot man—Captain Doneghy, All- "ELEVEN SECOND" LEGS! BY WILLIAM G.

In 1924, "Jazz" Byrd and beat Hampton for the first since 1921, when the All- Lincoln elected to receive. She had to get her hands on the ball in some way. A high, looping kick fell into the outstretched arms of Byrd. And again, as in 1922, he ascended the heights. Tucking the ball under his arms he set sail for the distant Howard goal-posts, 90 long yards away. Ninety yards down the fairway to fame and glory, dodged Byrd. Ninety yards of fairway, choked with human impedimentae who had been drilled all year to "Stop Byrd." Byrd swung along the right side of the field behind almost perfect interference. Then as Howard men began to bowl over that interference, he reversed the field. My next clear view of him was on the other side of the field, full speed ahead, with tacklers falling all about him. I don't believe a Howard hand touched him on that run, said by old-timers to have been the most spectacular of Howard-Lincoln history. Suffice it is to say, that his run took the arrogance out of Howard and reduced them to a mere shell of their once great threat. The game, oh yea—it ended 6-6. Howard's lineup that year, included, besides Captain Doneghy, the names of such grid satellites as Buldog Williams, Contee, Sam Peyton, Long, Blackmon, Priestley and others, while Lincoln boasted Big Boy Morgan, Caston, Speed Taylor, Birdie Crudop, Capt. Whirlwind Johnson, with his famous "13." Lan- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION caster, Goodman and Poindexter, "——In a Blaze of Glory" Nineteen twenty-four! His greatest year! That's what his record shows. Nineteen twenty-four was Byrd's final year for Lincoln, and here's a brief resume of what he accomplished. In 1924, "Jazz" Byrd and Lincoln beat Hampton for the first time since 1921, when the All-American half-back dashed 65 yards through a broken field for a touchdown in the first quarter. The final score was 7-3. Hampton's lineup included the names of the Jones boys at the terminals, Coleman, the mighty Gunn and Jacobs. Crudop, Calloway, Brown and Goodman played real ball for Lincoln. Lincoln beat Va. Seminary, 21-0. All Byrd did was to score two touchdowns on two runs of 55 and 60 yards. St. Paul was beaten, 33-0. Byrd made an 80-yard run, which was disallowed; the officials claiming he stepped out of bounds. He also made a 40-yard dash for a touchdown. Virginia Union, however, stopped Byrd and held Lincoln to a scoreless tie on a field ankle-deep in mud. "Fight, Howard, Fight, Like H—I" Came Washington again. The final game of Byrd's final year! How well I recall the picture. Seems as though it were but yesterday instead of yesteryear. Twilight shadows casting their eerie reflection over battle-scarred goal-posts. In 1922, 7,000 people. In 1922, 7,000 people. Nineteen twenty-four—20,000 people. Silent tribute to the prowess of one "Jazz" Byrd. Across the field the last despairing, defiant bark of 2,000 Howard students and co-eds, as they sobbed that now historic yell: "Fight, Howard, Fight Like hell! It was their death cry! For the 20-year-old Byrd, who two years before, had beaten Howard by a single point, now led the team of Lincolnites which handed Howard their worst defeat at the hands of their age-old rivals. Thirty-one to nothing, with Lincoln on the big end, was the score of that game. Young-cunning and young-strategy, plus Byrd's "eleven-second" legs, made of the game a rout. Here's a press account which is highly significant: But to Jazz Byrd, the greatest running halfback of modern times, goes the credit of giving that throbbing, pulsating, picturesque crowd of 20,000 the game's greatest thrills. His work in '22 and '23 had resulted in a victory and a tie. In the first half, he carried the ball but three times. In the second half, Byrd came into his own. Flashy, brilliant and colorful at all times, Byrd never before showed his real class as he revealed it on Thanksgiving day, '24. Time and time again, the entire stadium, forgetting partisan difference, rose enmasse and paid homage to this nimble-footed son of Old Mercury, his longest trip, a dash of 43 yards around Howard's right end for a touchdown, gave fans an idea of his dazzling speed. But on three other occasions, he showed an exhibition of open field running which stamped him as being without an equal. What other player could shake off six Howard tacklers within 20 feet and still remain erect? Lightest man on the field, he was unstoppable. As he started, so did he end it—in a blaze of glory. Football players may come and go, but "Jazz" Byrd, a true "blueblood" of the gridiron, is the lad responsible for the nation-wide enthusiasm our folks are paying to autumn's great sporting event. Statistics show that he gained 3,000 yards against opposition, and during his career was thrown for losses on less than 30 occasions! Byrd was a track star of no mean ability and an indifferent basketball player, but it was his "eleven-second" football loss which brought him football's biggest diadem—ALL AMERICA. November 24, 1928 A RHODESIAN GARDEN MY AFRICAN GARDEN. By Sheila MacDonald. The Century Company, New York. Price $2. This is a rather rambling story about the trials and tribulations of the wife of one of the white settlers in Rhodesia in maintaining a garden there. The weather, the insects and incompetent servants make it a difficult job, but at last she succeeds. The book is written with charm and humor, but it gets mighty boresome in many places. As one would naturally expect in a book of this kind, there is much poking of fun at the black servants. All of them, it seems, are liars and thieves, with the minds of little children. Rhodesia, one gathers from this book, is a second edition of the state of Mississippi. I finished this book with great relief. Wit and Humor NIGGER TO NIGGER. By E. C. L. Adams. Charles Scribner's Sons. New York City. Price $2. Ignore, if you can, the rather offensive name of this book, open it and begin to read, and I can guarantee that you will be immensely entertained. Dr. Adams is a white physician who lives in Columbia, S. C., and has observed the Negroes thereabouts with great sympathy and understanding. This book, like his previous one, "Congaree Sketches," contains tales, dialogues, sermons and ballads in very accurate dialect of the black people who live in the neighborhood of the Congaree Swamps. There are very few people left in the United States who can put down accurately on paper the dialect of the backwoods Negroes of certain sections in the South. Dr. Adams is one of these few people, and consequently his book is charming and informative without being offensive or resorting to efforts to get laughs at the expense of the Negroes. Indeed, one might say that this book glorifies the wit, humor and intelligence of these country Negroes. Here is a choice passage that illustrates the point: "Tad: 'Well, I ain' guh jine you in dem ideas, but ef my judgment ain' wrong, you better put you' mind on gotten out when you is loss. You ain' got no time for prayin'; de thing to do is to git out. When you is safe, go to prayin' an' offerin' up thanks. You can't fool God wid no prayers. He got sense 'nough to know you thinkin' 'bout gotten out. You ain' thinkin' 'bout Him. He mought listen to prayin' when de danger is over, but it's too late to pray when you is lost. My brother, you better be prepared.'" Let me quote another gem and I am through: "Scip: Is you hear wha' Tad tell he boss? "Voice: Wha' he tell him?" "Scip: De boss come out all dress up an' shave, for God's sake. An' Tad look at him an' say: "Boss, you sho' God is a good-looking' man. You de best-looking' man I ever see.' "An' de boss look at him an' say: 'You think so, Tad?" "An' Tad say: 'You sho' is. I reckon the reason wuh make I think so is you moest generally looks so wuss.' "Voice: Wuh de boss say? "Scip: He ain' say nothin', but he look like somebody guin him a dose er physic." It seems to me this book is worth much more than its price.

CHOCOLATE BABY FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF THE DRAMATIC SERIAL OF AMBITION, DECEPTION AND SUCCESS BY SAMUEL I. BROOKS November 24, 1928 CHO FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF T What Has Gone Before Martha Hastings, beautiful and talented daughter of a hard working widowed mother is seeking a career in order that her mother may enjoy a comfortable old age. Then comes S. Gordon Johnson, a crafty young insurance man who comes to town to establish an agency. He rents a room at the girl's mother's and when her mother is absent attempts to take advantage of her. Falling in this, he decides to win the girl by paying ardent court and promising marriage. He is successful in this and is about to lead the girl to ruin when Martha Armstrong, the manager of Hastings dell. Farm, Foiled. Johnson leaves for Chicago. From there he sends a letter to Martha with car fare to bring her to him. In spite of the objections of Ralph Armstrong, the girl goes. Armstrong tells her mother and promises to follow the girl on the next train and bring her back. Now go on with the story. ARTHA arrived in Chicago about 5 o'clock the following afternoon. As the great city loomed up all about her, she experienced a feeling of fright and bewilderment. ARTHA arrived in Chicago about 5 o'clock the following afternoon. As the great city loomed up all about her, she experienced a feeling of fright and bewilderment. She wondered whether Johnson would be at the station to meet her. She had telegraphed him at his office the hour of her arrival. She felt very strange in the midst of the great throng of people wending their way out of the station. Would he be there? Would he meet her as he had promised? Would he do as he had said? All of these thoughts strayed through her head as she followed the Red Cap through the gates. There was a great crowd of people assembled in the station. She glanced this way and that looking for Johnson. She was about to give up in despair when she saw him, tall and handsome rushing towards her with a broad smile on his face. She ran up to him with a little squeal of delight, and he folded her in his strong arms. "Oh sweetheart," he exclaimed. "I am so glad to see you. I wasn't sure whether you would come or not." "Oh Johnson!" the girl cried, "didn't you know I would come when you sent for me?" She looked up at his trustingly and a hot flush suffused her cheeks. Johnson was gay. Everything was working out just as he had planned. Carefully, he assisted her to the curb where his long low roadster was waiting. To the Black Belt Bundling the girl into it, he put her suitcase in back, and seating himself beside her started down the boulevard toward the Negro section. "You didn't tell your mother that you were coming, did you?" he asked the girl anxiously. Oh no, darling," she replied. "I didn't say a word to her about it. I'm awfully sorry, too, because I rather think I did wrong in coming away as I did." "Nonsense," Gordon replied. "Everything will come out all right and she will be glad to know that you and I are married." At this Martha looked up trustingly into the man's face. All of her fears were gone now and she trusted Johnson implicitly. All her worries suddenly came to an end. While Johnson had been in Chicago he had not been idle. In his office he had covered his tracks well. He had given his employers to understand that he was on his way to a small town in West Virginia. He had checked out of the Vincennes hotel where he stayed, telling them that he was leaving town for several weeks. Then bidding goodbye to several of his friends, prior to the arrival of Martha's train, he had gone down to the station to meet her. He figured that his trail was well covered. Accordingly, he did not drive his roadster through any of the sections where he was a familiar figure. A Suspicious Place Instead he drove out along the edge of the Negro section and stopped in front of a large dreary looking stone buildin. It was a rather forbidding structure. All the curtains were pulled down. ```markdown ``` A "Johnson tip-toed into the room" and the house had somewhat of a deserted air. "Just a minute Baby," he said as he stopped the car. "I want to run in and see if everything is fixed." "All right, darling," Martha replied, and snuggled down in the seat while Johnson went into the house. A tall light-brown flashily dressed woman answered the bell. "Oh! It's you is it?" she asked cheerfully. "I see you've got the brown with you." "Not so loud!" Johnson cautioned. "Is everything all fixed?" "Surest thing you know," the woman replied. "Ive got those two adjoining rooms all prepared, and you can go right up." "Say listen here!" she called, as Johnson turned to go. "I don't want any trouble about any broad. You know I can't afford to have the bulls down on me." "Oh, this is all right," Johnson said, with an indifferent toss of his head. "Everything will be all right. You won't get into any jam." "All right then," the woman said. "So long as I don't get jammed I don't care. Johnson then ran down the steps and took Martha's suitcase out of the back of his roadster. "Get out, honey," he requested. "Everything is all ready for us. Mrs. Jones has your room all prepared." "Oh, darling!" Martha gushed. "You have seen to everything, haven't you?" "Why certainly," Johnson boasted. "Why I wouldn't be much of a lover if I hadn't for the girl I love." At first sight Martha didn't like Mrs. Jones. The woman was of a very different type from any she had ever met. There was about her a certain bold, flashy air that Martha had always associated with women of the underworld. And still the woman greeted her kindly and her manner was very courteous and motherly. Mrs. Jones escorted Martha and Johnson up to a very large and lavishly furnished room on the second floor. There was a bathroom next to it and another room adjoining the bathroom on the other side. Of course Martha did not know of this room on the other side of the bathroom. Mrs. Jones very carefully avoided making any mention of it. "You will be right comfortable here, darling," Mrs. Jones assured Martha. "This is the best room in my house. I am very glad to give it to you because I like to have respectable people here." This statement had the exact effect that Mrs. Jones had intended. It allayed all of Martha's suspicions and made her feel more or less at home. When Mrs. Jones had departed Johnson came into the room and Martha's Room ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION folded Martha into his arms tenderly. "Listen, dear," he told her. "I have a room in another part of the house, and now I'll leave you to freshen up a bit while I take a shave." Then he kissed her passionately and departed. When Johnson had gone Martha gaily inspected the room. Martha Freshens Up She was feeling happier than she had ever felt in her life. She was experiencing all of that feeling of freedom that so many young people have when they finally get out from under parental restraint and authority. She felt all of the feminine assurance and satisfaction in having a lover about to make her his wife; a intelligence, ... now of the first effort Johnson had made to force his attentions on her in her mother's little home in Hainesville. Of course, she had long since forgiven him for that in the careless manner of youth. As she began to take off her street things and prepare to take advantage of the spotless bathroom to remove the evidences of her journey, she entertained herself thinking how happy she and Johnson would be in their little home after marriage. While filling the tub with steaming water, she actually laughed aloud with joy. In the meantime, Johnson was downstairs chatting in low tones with Mrs. Jones. "Oh, I know how to handle her," he was saying. "You just do your part and I'll see that you are well paid for it. She won't be here more than two or three weeks before you'll be able to get her in the business. I know these little country girls, you know. I haven't been traveling all around this country for nothing." "Does she suspect anything?" Mrs. Jones queried with just a hint of anxiety in her tone. "Hell, no!" the man replied. "Haven't I just got through telling you she is as green as a gourd? But you just leave her to me and do as I say. After I have a little fun I'll turn her over to you and you can train her to bring in the jack. She's not exactly a fool and I guess she'll soon see on what side her bread is buttered." "Well," commented the lady of the house, "a broad with her looks can certainly clean up a pile of dough here. We haven't had as good looking a gal as her in the house for ages." When Johnson figured that Martha had completed her toilet he went up to her room and knocked softly at her door. "Come in," Martha called in her sweetest tones. As he entered she flew into his arms and hung tightly to him while he showered her with kisses and pressed her lithe body firmly to his. Martha felt a peculiar shiver go down her spine as Johnson's hand swoked her back and shoulders. She felt a languorous daze come Johnson Enters Columbia "Magic Notes" "With Tears in My Eyes I'm Laughing at You" Sung by JESSE CRYOR A beautiful ballad, full of sentiment and love "With each smile that appears There's a million of tears" The 'cello accompaniment is superb.

Martha looked on in amazement as the waiter busied himself uncovering first one dish and then another; carrying dishes out and bringing more in. "Now," Johnson began as they sat down, "you must have a little appetizer before you start eating. Just take a little swallow of this liqueur. With this, he filled two slender little glasses, hardly large enough to accommodate Martha's little finger, with a golden syrupy French liqueur. "Oh, how cute," Martha exclaimed, admiring the minute glasses. She was not hestant about drinking now. She noted that there was hardly a swallow in the glass, and being ignorant of the potency of the drink, she swallowed it without ado. It tasted very good as it coursed slowly down.

As they neared the end of their gorgeous repast, Martha felt giddy from the wine, she was drunk, but Johnson insisted that she take just one more drink to properly end the dinner. Then he had the waiter bring in a peculiarly mixed drink in a wide-mouthed glass. It had a more deadening effect on Martha than anything she had drunk before that evening. She could hardly keep her eyes open and she experienced a peculiar feeling of indifference and carelessness. Johnson offered her a cigarette and she smoked it with abandon, much to her own surprise. He helped her as she walked unsteadily to the couch, and then winked to the walter as a signal to remove the dishes and clear out. In five minutes the evil-looking fellow was gone.

We were all rarin' to go and sixty dollars a case was dirt cheap—back to the price of the days before the amendment when only the state of Washington was dry and the stuff only brought ten dollars a quart retail. Now we could get twenty dollars a quart, two hundred and forty dollars a case, or a neat little profit of eighteen hundred bucks on those ten cases. The gang decided that Charley and Jack should go out and see the Purser. We made up the six hundred bucks and they left. In the meantime the Kid had cornered me off and was trying to get me to plead his case with the gang. I liked the Kid. He was a game little cuss; could cold deck or hold out in a rummy game with a dozen hard-boiled long-shoremen as coolly and almost as neatly as Red Jackson himself. And that took nerve, more nerve than I had, and I believed the Kid would make good. Again, the Kid and I had a common interest. The boys called me "Doc" because it was rumored that I had once been practicing saw-bones and had quit in disgrace or disgust, one or the other. However that may be, the Kid, who was pretty smart, and I both liked to read and to argue about science, philosophy, religion, etc. We would sometimes sit in the longshoremen's hall (all the gang and the Kid were members of the union) until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, arguing about science and religion. Neither of us made a convert of the other, but we had formed a firm and fast friendship, based perhaps on our differences. He braced me and asked me to go to bat again for him. I promised I would, intending to use the argument of how valuable the Kid would be in getting information, such as he had brought us that day. Jack and Charley found the stuff all right. Ten cases of "Sam Clay" in the original packing boxes; labels, seals and bottles, all intact and all genuine. They had paid the purser, taken the bottles out of the cases and put them in ten gunny sacks. We locked them in the purser's cabinet, on the starboard side of the ship, and placed a heaving line handy. The "Bertha" was berthed at the west end of the pier. About a quarter of a mile away was a row of fishermen's cabins with a street between running down to a skiff landing. Charley and Jack were to work the ship; get the stuff out on deck and great tongue the again green k, al-arkling their giddy k, but e just and the ing in wide- less. Can't you leave me now? I'll see you in the morning." "Why certainly, honey," Johnson agreed with alarcity. "T'll have Mrs. Jones come up and help you with your things," and he went out immediately. Meeting Mrs. Jones in the hall, a whispered consultation followed. Johnson then went into the next room connecting through the bath with Martha's, and the housekeeper went into Martha's room and helped her undress. Then, going into the bathroom, she unlocked the door to Johnson's room very quietly and returning, bade Martha a cheery "good-night," to which the girl was unable by this time to reply. Seconds lengthened into minutes, and the minutes lengthened into an hour. Martha, arrayed in her chaste white nightgown, lay unconscious on the bed, her breast gently rising and falling. The knob on her bathroom door turned slowly without a sound. Stealthily the door opened and Johnson, in pajamas and slippers, tip-toed into the room, a lustful smile of anticipation on his face. (Continued next week) (What happens to Martha now? No tellin', folks, no tellin'. But it looks like it won't be long now. Be sure and read what happens next week. That fifth installment will be just too bad!) lower it by means of the heaving line to Johnson and Tom in the skiff. Harry and I were to be at the landing in Harry's Studebaker, while Red Jackson was to act as look-out on the dock. The time was set for 8:30 the next night. Harry and I were to row the skiff over and tie it up to the landing the next day about 4 o'clock, look over the lay of the land and get the car in shape. The rest of the gang were to work the day shift, trucking off the "Bertha" so as to be familiar with everything. When the night shift stevedores went on the ship Charley and Jack were to go with them, and promptly at 8:30 be ready to lower the stuff. Harry and I were to blink the headlights if anything suspicious showed up on the road leading to the dock, and Red Jackson was to relay the signal to Charley and Jack on the ship. "How about the Kid?" said I. "Don't you think we ought to give him a chance, since this is a small job and he brought the tip in the first place?" "Now, Doc," said Gentleman Jack, "you are always harping on the Kid. Even though this is a small job, it's our first one for three weeks, and we don't want to take any chances on having it gummed up by a green kid, who might get cold feet in a pinch." I was about to make a hot reply in defense of the Kid, to the effect that I believed he had as much nerve even as Gentleman Jack, when I caught Charley's eye. Charley had been talking to me about the gang. "Doc," he had said to me, "I don't intend for the gang to be doing this petty larceny stuff very long; two or three good breaks and we'll be able to muster up enough kale to buy a little boat I saw over in Tacoma. "Three high speed motors, Doc, and she can outrun anything on the Sound; fellow built it checked out and she can be bought for a song. You know since the Eighteenth amendment Canada is our best bet and this little beauty will snatch a hundred cases here from British Columbia so quick it will make your head swim. 'Twon't take long at that rate, Doc, for us to get—well, we will really be in the business." I remembered what Charley had said to me and I knew he was particularly anxious to keep Jack in the gang and satisfied. Jack was a valuable man; his specialty was his appearance. He could put on a front and you couldn't tell him from Astorbilt. He turned all the stuff we got at the highest market price before we got it off the ship. He and Charley had stopped at the club on the way back from the cove and Jack had gone in and arranged to unload the ten cases as soon as we could deliver them at two hundred forty per. Also, the Kid was Charley's brother and if he didn't see fit to push the matter it was a little out of place for me.

We got there just at 5 o'clock, as the day shift were coming off. As soon as we saw Tom and Johnson we could tell that something was wrong. We glanced up at the ship and there, sure enough, were two revenue men, one fore and one aft. "How long have they been here?" I asked Tom. "The bloody beggars have been here all day," he replied. "Here comes the relief now." The two who were on the ship came down to the gangplank and left after exchanging a few words with the newcomers, who went on deck and began slowly patrolling in their places. We all agreed it looked bad. The Bertha had been in port five days, would sail the next night, and take our ten cases of "Sam Clay" with her unless we could find a way to outwit the "revenuers," who had evidently smelt a rat. There was nothing to do but wait around until Charley and Jack came and then talk it over. The night shift worked only four hours, from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and a number of the day shift were doubling and waiting to go on, so we were not conspicuous. Charley and Jack came early, about 5:30. Red Jackson was with them. They had "piped" the revenuers before they reached us. Red was indulging in some long distance back-handed compliments expressed in his choicest Charlestonian profanity. Our plans were rearranged. Charley and Jack were to go on ship. Tom Thumb was to mull around and see what he could find out. Red was to hang around until 10 o'clock or if the revenuers left before then to come over to the automobile, where Harry, Johnson and myself would be waiting. If the revenue men did not leave at 10, when the night shift went off, or before, Charley and Jack and Tom were to stay on the ship (hid in one of the cabins which they would get the purser to open for them). The rest of us were to go over to an all night joint near the pier and wait. If the coast cleared any time during the night Tom would come over and get us and we were to go through with our plan. It didn't clear. Charley, Jack and Tom found us lying around dozing and told us how carefully the ship had been watched during the night. The revenuers had changed shift again at 12 o'clock and again at 8. They were not on the ship now, however, but on the pier. They evidently knew nothing would go over the sides after day- (Continued on Page 7) GOOD LUCK QUICK! YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD! ORIENTAL LUCKY DOG FREE!

PETONE CO., Dept. 2-F. St. Louis. U. S. A. The Modern Ideas in Furniture How to Live and Look Well-By Heba Jannath A Room furnished in modern style. ALTMAN'S in New York and Marshall Field in Chicago are showing "Modern" furniture. This is the new furniture built on simple lines and highly colored. It is almost without carving and reminds you of the modern architecture. The tall pointed chair backs recall the skyscraper. So do the triangular tables and footstools. But the arm chairs are usually exaggeratedly squat with curved arms. And the tables are either taller than ordinary tables or more squat. I saw an exquisite round, green and black table that was just two feet high. These tables are for magazines or for tea or breakfast. They sit between the large low squat chairs and you reach down for your teacup. This type of furniture is bound to become popular. Especially for city apartments, for it reflects the simple lines of city dwellings. And is more in keeping with modern dress and thought and movement. It expresses likewise the frank and direct attitude of our present civilization. Modern Furniture for the Moderate Income The best thing about it is that it can be bought unpainted, and you can paint it yourself in the colors you want. Thus it can be more distinctive and better express your individuality. Because the ideas are so new it costs a great deal bought finished. In fact, only the rich can stand the "finished" prices. But anyone can afford it in the unpainted state. Not only that but if your husband is handy with the saw he can make it. Or you can give the ideas to a carpenter and get it done very cheaply. It is without the old fashioned carving and fretting. Straight lines forming squares and rectangles and triangles are most used. Simple curves and circles are also popular. Some of the tables are built in the graduated style like a set of blocks. The part at the bottom being larger and decreasing as it rises in size. Bookcases are formed like skyscrapers, one side will be tall, one short. And there are combination benches and tables. Paint Your Own Furniture To paint furniture all you need is a little patience and good taste. You can buy enamel in all colors. The quick-drying enamels are the most expensive and are often convenient. But I find the cheaper slow drying ones easier to handle in the long run. For on large surfaces the quick enamel dries before you have finished. And if you cannot afford enamel, house paint will do. The main thing is to paint your furniture, enliven it, give it character! If you cannot afford to buy the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION new type furniture, paint your old things. Unless you own real antiques or very fine wooded furniture it looks better painted. The old imitation oaks and maples and mahogany is absolutely out of style. But you can paint over any of these woods. Mrs. Jerome Discusses "Time Limit" in Love THE ART OF LOVE By Julia Jerome A YOUNG MAN takes us to account upon our last week's letter and comment. Dear Mrs. Jerome: It may be true that some women dislike a man to "rush" them into petting parties "right off the reel." But it's my experience that they despise you if you don't. If you don't get fresh with them they put you down as a dead one. Now which is the worst? To be criticized if you're "fast" or despised if you are slow? Taking it now from the man's side, which is the most profitable? I'm not a fast worker myself so I speak from sad experience when I say that I honestly believe it's worse to be too slow than too fast. A LOSER. That's as hard as the questions they used to put to King Solomon! But it seems to me that a kind of sixth sense ought to be used in the matter. A man ought to be able to "sense" the proper moment for serious approach. If a woman is "falling" for you, you'll know it. Don't be either hesitant or hysterical. For there is something hysterical about a man who grabs at every female he meets. Try to remember that there are other fish in the sea. That the woman before you isn't the last one on earth. There is a difference between restraint and constraint. Be agreeable but impersonal the first few times you see a woman. Then when you do make advances she will believe it is because you care for her. She will believe that her personality has finally won you against your will. Human nature is the same whatever the sex. Each like to believe they are winning something. That he or she is making a real conquest. A man despises the woman who throws herself at him. So it ought not to be hard for him to realize that a woman feels the same way. Now to answer Mr. Loser's question. Which is the most profitable from the man's side, to be too fast or too slow? I really don't believe the Slow A Money Saving Offer If your druggist does not carry Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing refuse all imitations and send $1.00 today for our Bargain Assortment consisting of 4 boxes of Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing and 1 cake of Hi-Ja Beauty Soap (Value $1.25).

Church St., Dept. 61, New York, M. Y. The Kid Joins the Gang (Continued from Page 6) break, so now they were watching the gangplank to see that nothing came down that way. Charley, Jack and Tom had spent the night playing pinochle and arguing with the purser. The purser was pretty hard-boiled. He wouldn't agree to take the stuff back at half price or any price. As far as he was concerned the deal was closed. He would do what he could to help us get it off the ship, but if we didn't succeed he would have to heave it overboard when he got out to sea. If he took it back to the home port some busy-body might run into it and his job would be gone. The "Bertha" would sail at 6 o'clock. We didn't intend to let her sail with those ten cases if we could help it. There was only one thing to do and not much time in which to do it. We must pack the stuff off on our persons. The only chance we would have to do that would be at the noon hour and at the quitting hour. There were seven of us. We could each stow away six quarts under our mackinaws without much chance of detection. Any more would be dangerous. Six times seven would be forty-two. Forty-two at noon and forty-two at quitting time. That made only $4. Thirty-six bottles to go back with the "Bertha" unless we got a mighty lucky break. Here was a chance to speak a word for the Kid. Nobody objected. We needed all the pockets we could get, and I was lucky enough to get him at the hall when I telephoned. We began one at a time to ease on the ship about 11 o'clock. At 11:30 we were all in the purser's cabin with the ten cases of booze. We began to load up. Six bottles apiece, one in each hip pocket, one in each front pocket in our overalls, one in each side pocket of our jumpers, under our mackinaws. Charley and Tom went out to reconnoiter. In about ten minutes they came back. The ship was clear. Both the revenue men were on the pier. When the whistle blew we were to come to the fore gangway, where Tom would be standing. Tom was to whistle the chorus of the "River Shannon" just at the moment when a big bunch of stevedores were ready to go down the gangway. The whistle blew. I intended to keep close to the Kid, but the passageway was so narrow we got strung out and separated. Afterward I learned that the purser had come up behind the Kid and, not knowing who he was, the Kid had ducked into the engine room. Anyhow, when I got out on deck I saw the Kid coming out of the passageway leading from the engine room. To my surprise he kept right toward the gangway. I was dumbfounded. The stevedores were just coming up out of the hatch. The Kid reached the gangway alone. From where I was I could see one of the revenue men standing about 12 yards from the gangway behind a crowd of longshoremen who hid him from the Kid. I could see the Kid was worried; he didn't seem to savvy where the rest of the fellows were. Just then the purser came out on the deck. The Kid saw him and started down the gangway. I tried to warn him, but he didn't hear me and kept right on. I heard Tom let out a string of Irish oaths, and Charlie yell out "Culado!" (look out—in Spanish) just as the Kid stepped off the gang-way. The revenue man had come out from behind the longshoremen and started for the Kid. The Kid saw him and knew it was all off, but he was game. turned to the right—opposite (Continued on Page 8) ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION I enclose 25c in stamps for which please send me one large seal package of Wavine Stick Sheet standing that if I am not delighted with it you will refund my money.

Longshoremen were all around, sit- ‘ting on trucks eating lunch, As the Kid passed old George Harding I could see George telling him the revenue man was behind him, i Anyone could tell the Kid was loaded now. He wasn't used to packing the stuff, and with the excitement and all the two bottles in his front over- alls’ pocket were giving him trouble. ‘The revenue man called out: “Hey there, young fellow.” The Kid didn’t turn around, but kept on walking at an angle toward the east gate, just so he could see the revenue man over his shoulder. ‘The revenue man speeded’ up a bit to overtake the Kid. ‘The Kid speeded up also. ‘The revenue man bent down and started to run and the Kid lit out. Straight for the big east gate he flew. ‘Then I saw the other revenue man I had been trying to locate. From behind a box car near the gate he jumped. ‘The Kid saw him, too, and saw he ‘was trapped. He swung in again at an angle to- ward the ship, and I wondered if he were going to jump oyerboard, I heard the revenue man say: “Stop or I'll shooi.” ‘Then I saw where the Kid was heading for—a little gate, just on the edge of the pier, which opened out into a flat waste where a big pile of oil barrels was burning. In the meantime the Kid had got the two bottles out of his front over- alls’ pockets. Down on the pier they went— smash, smash. The Kid made the gate with the revenue man about ten yards be- hind. Straight for the long pile of burn- ing barrels he flew. I didn’t see how he was going to get away, for one end of the fire ran right down to the bay and the other into a sort of lagoon that made that stretch of waste land a long penin- sula lying parallel to the bay. ‘The revenue man saw they had the Kid trapped and separated, one run- ing toward each. end of the pile of burhing barrels, to head the Kid off whichever way, he went. Straight through the fire went the Kid. The pile of barrels was about two hundred fect long and twenty feet wide, and the Kid went through twenty feet of fire without looking round. It took the reveriue men so much 'y surprise that they both stopped, hen rushed to the place where the <id went througn, expecting, I guess, to find him in the fire, but the Kid had gone through and with undimin- ished speed kept on to the end of the peninsula, crossed the lagoon on a little foot bridge there and was hit- ting it for the tall timbers. — - He was waiting for me at Dusty's when I got there, about 3 o'clock. He looked pretty sad, all hunched up over a glass of near beer which he had ordered and not even tasted. “Well, Doe,” he said with a little weak smile, “you did all you could for me and it wasn't your fault I flunked and gummed up the works. I guess Jack was right; I'm only a steen kid. Must have had myself over-rated.” “Tell me, Kid,” I asked, “why did you hit the gangway before Tom's whistle? Did you get scared of the purser?” “Was that the purser, Doc? 1 aidn’t know who he was and I admit he made me a little uneasy, but I would have been dodging him till yet if I hadn't heard somebody whistle ‘River Shannon’ Honest, Doc; you know F wouldn't le to you.” I didn’t beileve the Kid was lying. Harry had sworn he also heard the whistle. Tom Thumb wasn't the only Irish stevedore in Seaitle and it was our fault for picking such a common tune. 5 Anyhow the Kid looked so broken up and forlorn I didn't have the heart to keep the news from him any longer, so I told him the rest of the story.

SARAH JOHNSON of M Louisville writes in as follows: “Dear Sir: Will you please tell me what this dream means? It seems that I saw many stars falling from the heavens, The sky appeared to be clear and cloudless, and the stars fell very rapidly—Sarah John- son.” This is ‘quite an unusual dream. Had Mrs. Johnson dreamed of the falling of only one star, that woule have meant that some person of ver: great prominence in the nation is very shortly to die. To dream of the falling of many stars, however, would seem to point to some very great social or political commotion. I do not know whether or not Mrs. Johnson is in pclitics, but I am sure ‘she must be interested in politics. Hither that or she takes a keen interest in social affairs, Whatever be her interest, I am convinced that there is going to be ‘considerable upheaval therein within a very short time. Ever since the birth of mankind human béings have been interested in the heavens and have made a study of the stars. Persians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Aztecs and Incas, all had astronomical observatories in which trained men, usually priests, studied the meaning of the stars and the laws of their rotation, Hence, you see that interest in the stars is of great antiquity. To dream of them always indicates change in social or political affairs. From the Editor’s Desk BOUT a month-ago a Ten Bil- A lion Dollar dinner was held in New York City. | Of course, the dinner did not cost that much, but it received its name from the fact that “the combined wealth of the principal guests of bon- or was Ten Billion Dollars, There were at .that dinner, Henry Ford, the automobile king; Eastman, the kodak king; Firestone, the rubber king; Schwab, the steel king; Lipton, the tea king; and several other men of fabulous wealth. “ Hipw did these men get their ‘moriey? < | ‘Through the application of adver- tising and organization. But for that intelligence or organ- ization, it would not have been pos- sible for them to have accumulated 80 much money without faith in what they had to sell. Because they had faith in their products, they spent millions and millions of dollars advertising them. For instance, when Henry Ford put out his latest model of automobile, he spent over a half million dollars in full-page advertisements in the principal newspapers of the country. Because he had faith in his own product, people also had faith in it. Thousands and thousands of cars were sold before they were even made. Faith did it, The reading public has faith in the large advertisers. The large advertiser spending huge sums every day must have faith and confidence in what he fs selling in or- der to inspire that same faith and confidence in those who will buy his products. Modern business is erected upon faith, and large advertisements are @ pretty good barometer of the faith that a man places in his goods. ‘The buyer can depend upon ’t that the goods offered by the large adver- tiser are all that they are claimed to be., i ans ee .
