NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER 13 GREAT airplane slowly ciccled above the glade where Angie stood gazing upward from the doorway of the Nest. Twice, three times it zoomed in grest se a ae a a a fn rising gracefully, soared humming toward the east, to drop down beyond the line of trees in a glide thag car- ried it beyond her gaze. “Wish I could fly away’s easy as that,” whispered Angie, drearily, talk- ing to herself as troubled folk are wont to do. “That'n’s big enough to earry a heap o' folks. It's lots big- ger’n that'n the Chocolate Kid runs.” Her voice ceased and she dropped listlessly down on the’ floor just in- side, leaning her head against the rough iintel of the open door: Angie still sat drooped despairingly where she had dropped’ when the commotion in the line of trees cir- cling the east side of the cabin drew her attention. A SUDDEN FLASH A sudden flashing light of hope swept across her wan face as four people stepped into the open space. ‘Then, as she saw who they were, as suddenly went out. Zola was the first to speak, and her voice was soft with sympathy. “Angie,” she said, “are you alone? ‘Where is—your lover?” But Angie did not answer at once. Her eyes were on the Chocolate Kid, Chocolate did not ASK if she was alone; but every nerve and muscle in his tense, wiry body was inyesti- gating each possibility. Angie’s eyes were glued in fascinated attention on the business-like automatic he held ready in his hand. There was fear and questioning in her pose. Barry Dwane, with less of the dare-devn bravado but as much of caution in bis own movements, stood by the Chocolate Kid's side. Behind them, bleared eyes, sober and sure, stood old John Belling. The Chocolate Kid turned to the wide-eyed outcast, His eyes lost some of their menacing quality, but they were still alert, watchful. “Where's Bledsoe?” The question was curt with imperative command, certain klowledge that she held the answer. - Barry Dwane, with the crafty cau- tion that. his years with Big Ott had taught him, kept careful watch of the ring of trees as the Chocolate Kid faced the cowering girl. Old John Belling stood quite still, watching the proceedings, Zola, with her instinct for kindly sympathy, took an involuntary step toward the door. ‘Angie's face went pale, but some- thing dawned in her eyes that was greater than her fear. She moistened her lips before she spoke. But her voice was steady. “He’s gone back to Etingford to Win Your Loved One Zo * Stop worrying about Sa your love troubles. Be happy.

Her face looked suddenly haggard. Her eyes shot fire. “You——” she said; then at the look on Angie's face she stopped, puz- zled, uncertain, Barry wheeled about, half relief in his face. But the Chocolate Kid still watched, apparently unmoved by the news. “Is HE coming back, or did he say he would send somebody?” His voice was couversational in tone. “He said the whole town would be out here by tomorrow, after he told them that this cabin, belongs to Dave and that Dave built it for—for—what Anson used it, And——" No one of those looking at the girl could fail to understand the genuine despair and desperation in her eyes. “Now he said if I told anything that would ‘help Dave he would kill me, but I don't care; I might’s well be dead anyway.

The Chocolate Kid smiled—a care- lessly kind but.-an understanding smile. His little eyes were soft through their keenly cunning glance. Barry drew 1 long breath and pock- eted his revolver. Old John Belling spoke and his voice too had gained assurance.

The other trained its ‘beam on the padlock, which the Kid unlocked. ‘Together they stepped into the room, It was just as they had left it earlier in the afternoon. AT ANGIE’S HOUSE Angie was a neat housekeeper; everything was in place. The room Was fragrant with the smell of the forest. The wide fireplace at one end was swept and garnished and piled high with cedar boughs, whose fra- grance rose like pungent incense through the cther pleasant odors, Once within it took only an instant to locate the green shaded kerosene lamp, its chimney sparklingly clean. Extracting the small box of safety matches from his pocket, John Bell- ing lit the lamp.

IS CIVILIZATION BUNK? PROMINENT AUTHOR SHAKES ACCEPTED NOTIONS AND CONVENTIONS THE OUTLINE OF BUNK. By E. Haldeman-Julius. Published by the Stratford Company, 234-240 Boylston St., Boston, Mass. 501 pp. Price $4.00. WHAT is Bunk? What is a debunker? Is religion an asset or a liability of modern civilization? How much of politics is bunk and how much is of value PETER Mr. E. Haldeman-Julius at work to the masses of people? What mistakes are being made in our civilization and how can they be corrected? Are the present standards in sex and morals correct? In what direction are the present tendencies of modern conventions going? Is public opinion bunk? All of these and several other questions are raised in the mind of the reader as he scans the pages of this prominent author's new book. The new tendency is towards those books which invite the reader to think for himself. The old books with cut and dried solutions for all modern evils are fast disappearing. No book represents the new trend in bookreading more than The Outline of Bunk. It stimulates thought. It helps you to decide for yourself whether you will accept everything dished out from the antiquated desks of old "fogies" bent on retarding the intellectual growth of the masses of people. This book reveals the corruption of so-called "reform movements," showing with considerable clarity how these movements will not stand the searchlight of rigid analysis. It also sheds light on how and why The Freedmen's Bureau and the relief agencies were chiefly effective in educational work between 1865 and 1870. During the first year of the Civil war the bureau itself reported the establishment of 4,239 schools with 9,307 teachers and 247,933 students in the various states. Lemuel Haynes, a brilliant Negro minister, was born in 1753 and served with distinction in the Revolutionary war. He showed unusual ability in engaging in the theological discussions of the times. Judge Albert Bailey George of Chicago is the first Negro in American civic affairs to be elected a judge of a court of record.

A great deal of human understanding is manifested by the author in portraying the desires as well as the needs of the masses of people.

Write today "Cum" Posey Made Athletic History April 6, 1929 REQUENTLY sports writers on daily papers have asked me, "Whom do you consider as the outstanding athlete of your race, past and present?" REQUENTLY sports writers on daily papers have asked me, "Whom do you consider as the outstanding athlete of your race, past and present?" Several names present themselves and I vision Paul Robeson, mighty end of Rutgers' great teams; John Henry Lloyd, still a baseball star after twenty years; Oscar Charleston, peer of any man on the diamond. And another. And that other, because he fought to the top without the fanfare of school publicity and the plethoric bank roll of magnates behind him, looms above them all. He made his own organization, he and his fellows financed their own clubs; at last, through as an active athlete, he became an owner of a sports crew. His name is Cumberland Posey, Jr. Of "Cum" I write with a knowledge born of close contact through many years. It was my pleasure to be associated with him in the days when our slogan was, "The game's the thing," and when his upward surge was at its crest. BORN IN WEALTH His has been a varied career in the glare of the sporting spotlight. Born of wealthy parents, Posey could have had every educational advantage and at various times was a student at Penn State, at Holy Ghost College (now Duquesne University) and Pitt. But an adventurous and turbulent spirit brooked no faculty interference with his desires and he never stayed anywhere long enough to get the recognition which might have been his. Basket ball was always his hobby and he left Penn State because the powers that be refused him permission to go on a trip. Of course, they were within their rights, since the sandy-haired Cum was not as well up in his studies as he should have been. So home to Homestead he came and conceived the idea of a floor team among his playmates. Then came into being the "Monticello Club," named for the street which was the home of the Rickmond boys. ON MONTICELLO TEAM On that Monticello team in the beginning were Walter Clark, Bud Brown, Charlie Rickmond, Dick Garrison, Joe Mahoney, Jim Dorsey, Frank Bell, Austin Norris, George Bell, Seward Posey and others whose names are lost in the limbo of the years. In those days—1912—the collegiate champs were at Howard University. The persuasive powers of the Posey were used to good advantage and the chesty collegians came to Pittsburgh for a practice game with the kids. When the tumult and shouting had died Howard was badly licked by the tyros of the court. The score was 25-19 and the ever-famous combination of Gilmore-Sykes-Gray-Oliver-Nixon was a wiser and sadder bunch. That victory "made" Monticello and immediately the team was in demand in New York, then the basket ball center of the universe.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION DEFEATS ALL COMERS To New York the blithesome youths journeyed and wrecked two more wonder flives, Alpha and the 1910 "Cum" Posey, the greatest basketball player of all time. Brooklyn Smart Set. That was the beginning of intercity basket ball history and Monticello more than held its own with the best that New York could boast. We journeyed east to triumph year after year. Alpha, Incorporators, St. Christopher, Spartans trekked west to defeat year after year. Now and then we lost but the Posey jinx was asserting itself over the best that Gotham could muster. Posey was a name to conjure with and he was as well known on Seventh Avenue, New York, as he was on Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh. Manhattan Casino groaned beneath the weight of the crowds which came to cheer or jeer for the slender, blond westerner who upset their dearest teams. After the battles they wined us and dined us and the town was our collective friend. The athletic organizations vied one with another to entertain the Poseymen. There were theater parties and the Lafayette, dinner parties at the Libyia, Haynes', Goldgraben's. Youth and sport were having their fling.

To the Posey banners came college lads and others—boys who had been taught the game on our junior team—to learn a little more from the Master of the Show. Into and out of the red and white woolens of Monticello paraded such men as the original team, Sell and Howard Hall, Lukie Williams, Fats Jenkins, George Gilmore, Cracker Holland, Himmy Edmonds and others. And then sounded the alarms of war. Conditions changed. The game was commercialized. Monticello lost its identity in the Loendi Club and basket ball knew its greatest team of all time. The forwards were Posey and the lamented George Gilmore, childhood chum of mine up in the oil country, Howard and Alpha star of later days. Sessoms, of Lincoln, jumped center and the guards were "Greasy" Betts, product of the Homestead Steel Works, and Young, Lincoln immortal. No team before or since ever has known the power and the ability of Loendi. No Negro five on earth could equal them. When death or circumstance serried the ranks Georgie Flall, Specs Moten, Pappy Ricks, Rock Anderson, "Lyss" Young or a budding rookie filled the gap. One could take Cum Posey, Young and "Greasy" Betts and any two mediocre players and have a world's championship five. Of a truth, these three musketeers were the Athos, Portos and D'Artagnan of the floor. Giants crumpled and quit before the fragile-looking Posey, Sabre of the Monon Valley. He was at once a ghost, a buzz saw, a "shooting fool." The word "quit" has never been translated for him. JEWISH TEAM THREATENS In their good days but one team ever caused the Posey passers any trouble. That was the Coffey Club, of Pittsburgh, a group of Jewish boys who had lived and fought all of their THE FARMER'S FRIENDS "Cum" Posey and W. Rollo Wilson, the writer of this article. lives in that Ghetto which is "the Hill district." These battles were classics and in all the years of civil warfare only one game saw a final score where there was a margin greater than three points between winner and loser. In football Posey was an "outlaw" from his set. He cast his lot with the Collins Tigers, the "roughneck" team of the Washington Park playground, and was always their Frank Merriwell in the annual game with the Delaney Rifles, the dicty outfit conceived by genial "Cap" Steward. Here again his size was the trap which ensured the Goliaths of the gridiron. FINE BASEBALL PLAYER In baseball he was a fleet outfielder, a fair hitter and always the possessor of the Posey brain. And in the sport where he shone least he now makes a comfortable living. For he and Charlie Walker own the Homestead Grays. Of this club much has been written. One needs add only that it is the grown-up whose infant monicker was the Silver Leaf (or was it Maple Leaf?) A. A. of the summers when Sell Hall was almost as good a pitcher as he told you he was. Cum Posey, the athlete, is now Cum Posey, the magnate. He is an opportunist who has made sport pay him liberally for his contributions to it. I doubt if any Negro sports figure is known to as many people as Posey. Derelicts and plutocrats call him "Cum" and he replies in kind. "CUM" GREAT SPORT When he walks to the coaches' box at first base the fans cheer him. When he protests a decision they jeer him. But there is nothing evil, nothing lasting, in their venom of the moment. He's their friend and if they want to cuss him, that's their prerogative. Cum Posey belongs to the sport world; he is in it and of it and it is proud of him. So, if you are still asking me whom I consider the greatest athlete, the one who has meant the most to "the game," the answer is "Cum Posey." Negroes made a record for valor in the war of 1812. 1960 Whitens Brown Skin in 1 Minute or Money Back Test This Amazing New Fluid Without Risk If you want to quickly whiten and completely change the color of your skin in just one minute, you should make this simple test.

GREAT WARRIOR Born in 1865 and head of a lowly tribe known as the Zondi, Bambaata led the greatest black revolt against white supremacy in modern times. For resourcefulness, bravery and daring he has been equalled but not excelled by Washington or any of the great white patriots. 1980 Tanned Skin White Almost Overnight!

Try the big dollar bottle today! guns armed only with spears? It was certain death. They hadn't a single chance to win. What a theme for some Negro Tennyson! As a boy Bambaata was headstrong and fond of fighting. The Zulu takes great pride in warlike skill, and as a youth Bambaata excelled all his fellows. As he grew to manhood he viewed with increasing resentment the presence of the white intruder in the land of his fathers. Gathering the bolder spirits of his tribe around him he made repeated descents on Boer farms, returning with much cattle. He continued these raids until England defeated the Boers and took all of South Africa. The war had lasted three years and the British colonists, finding themselves heavily in debt, decided that the black natives should be made to pay a part of the war debt. UNJUST TAXATION Accordingly a poll tax of five dollars was placed against every male native. This was in addition to the hut tax of fifteen dollars, and a dog tax. Bambaata's tribe numbered 5,000 and his huts 1,142. When he heard of the new tax he decided that he wasn't going to pay it. More, he decided that he wasn't going to pay any tax at all. He and his people had been getting along quite well before the white man had invited himself into their territories. The other chiefs sympathized with Bambaata, but they advised their people to pay. Many of them had revolted before and had tasted the white man's rifle—the Ubainbai—"the stick that kills from afar," as they called it. There was one exception, however, and that was Sigananda, who had five taxable sons. Sigananda was ninety-six and had taken an active part in the noted massacre of the whites by Chief Dingaan. On his refusal Bambaata was summoned to headquarters. He would not go, whereupon the government ordered him deposed and another chief named Magwababa, was put in his place. He also refused to go with the policemen sent to arrest him. At this 170 white men and a native troop was sent to bring him. Bambaata fled into Zululand to seek the aid of Dinizulu, Paramount Chief. Dinizulu refused to receive him openly. He, too, had revolted and had been exiled like Napoleon to St. Helena. Now he was back on the throne on his good behavior. But Dinizulu, like most of the other chiefs, sympathized with Bam- St.Jo G.I. AL CO AVEC WHIR TO Pric e $1.00 April 6, 1929 baata and wished his success.

The first was the withdrawal of the English soldiers from South Africa; the second was a sight such as no South African, white or black, had ever witnessed before: Fields of corn all over the land looked as if they had been oiled, and glittered like glass in the sun. The third was a hallstorm of unusual severity accompanied by very loud thunder.

Instead of the bar going across the "t" stem, it is back of it. Such a fellow is constantly putting off doing the thing that should be done now. He is not lazy—that is, he may not be—but he has the very bad habit of pushing the thing that should be done now, over until another day. Such a fellow cannot succeed. If he has a job of work to do he pushes it back and lets it wait. He is always behind in his work. This is the whole secret of his failure. He has had the ability, but he has not used it. He has put it off. THE BRAVE and the number of his followers increased. But he was faced by one great obstacle. The older Zulus, fearless where spears and war-clubs were concerned, thought of the machine guns. The white man had but to stay out of range of their spears, press a trigger, and they would fall in heaps, all their bravery and valor counting for naught.

BAMBAATA'S RUSE But Bambaata was resourceful, if anything. He told his people that a famous witch doctor had risen from the dead and had given to Dinizulu a muti (medicine) that would turn the white man's bullets to water. Getting many of his followers together he had a cow sprinkled with this special charm that had been made from the heart and lungs of captured white men. Then calling eight of his men he ordered them to shoot the cow. The rifles spoke but the cow ran off unhurt, although but a few yards away. The audience marvelled. A miracle truly! Now another cow was brought and the eight rifles were again fired. This time the cow dropped dead. "See," cried Bambaata, "no muti was sprinkled on it." Certainly that seemed convincing. But Bambaata wasn't finished. He called for volunteers to be shot at. None answered. Ordering the witch doctors to sprinkle him with the charm he sprang into the open and ordered the men to reload and shoot at him. Again the eight rifles spat fire at the command of the chief. When the smoke cleared there stood the smiling Bambaata unhurt. Here was a miracle, indeed. But Bambaata was not finished. It was necessary not only to inspire his followers but to make them fear No Experience Necessary Sell the widely advertised Fair Flex Bleaching Ointment and Other Beauty Creations.

In the camp was a captured spy. Sprinkling this man with the muti he ordered him to be shot. Once more the rifles spoke. But the spy stood unhurt though but a few yards away. A groan of consternation from the gathering. So the charm could also protect traitors! But at this the triumphant Bambanta arose, spear in hand. The next instant, his weapon sang through the air and the spy fell, pierced through the heart. Turning to the astonished group, he said: "Go, tell what you have seen with your own eyes. And say, too, that while the muti will protect the faithful, it will not save traitors." The explanation? Simple, Blank cartridges! DEFEATS WHITES At last Bambaata was ready to strike. Returning to his tribe he ousted his successor and killed or put to flight the forces of the government. At this several hundred soldiers were sent after him, but ambushing them, he killed many and sent the others running. The news of his victory flew over the land, being magnified with each telling, as in true civilized style. Moreover, not a single native had been hurt. "The muti had worked." A few days later another force of whites arrived and bombarded Bambaata's village at a range of several thousand yards. But again he am- (Continued on Page 8) DOUBLE YOUR MONEY Choose YOUR OWN COMPLEXION BAMBAATATHE BRAVE (Continued from Page 7) bushed the enemy and put it to flight. Martial law was no./ declared and a force of 2,000 Europeans and 3,000 natives under Gen. McKensie was sent against him. But again Bambaata was successful. By never giving open battle, and by sending his own men among the enemy wearing the distinguishing strips of black and red cloth worn by the native soldiers, he played havoc with his foes. OTHER CHIEFS JOIN After these victories twenty other chiefs joined on, while others awaited the turn of events. But as the conservative chiefs had foreseen Bambaata hadn't a chance. He had less than twenty rifles, and what were spears against the latest pattern of machine guns in the hands of men who had just been through a great war? In every engagement—at Nkandhla, Otimati, Peyana, Insize, McCrae's, Store, Mome Gorge—these black men fought like brave heroes of old. Like their brothers at Carrilag, they charged almost unarmed into the teeth of certain death, courageous to the last. Bambaata, himself, was killed at Mome Gorge, while making his way unarmed and alone up a river. A native soldier, seeing him, sprang at him from behind a tree and plunged his spear in his back. The soldier tried to draw out the weapon for another blow but it had been bent and he could not, whereupon another black soldier came to his aid. But Bambaata, seizing the latter's spear, attacked them both, and though wounded was getting the better part of the struggle when another native ran up and putting his rifle to Bambaata's head, fired. HEAD CUT OFF Soon after his death the rebellion collapsed. Of the 12,000 black men who took part, 2,300 were killed and 4,700 made prisoners. Among the number was the aged Sigananda who died a few days later in prison, defiant to the last. The rebellion lasted nine months, (July, 1905, to April, 1906) and cost the government five million dollars. Sixty white men were killed and several hundred wounded, of the 11,000 engaged. They were aided by some 6,000 blacks. Some of the prisoners were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment; twenty-five of the leaders were exiled to St. Helena, while Dinizulu, who was accused of playing a hidden part, accompanied them. But as to the valiant Bambaata, his followers refused to believe him dead although the government exhibited Don't Tolerate RHEUMATIC PAINS!

April 6, 1929 T WAS on Dec. 31, 1925, at the River Rough Plant of The Ford Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan, when Ed. Stewart turned in his badge and tools and drew his last check I "Why are you leaving?" asked the foreman. "You've been in this department three years and have always done your work well." "I'm not the least dissatisfied with the job," replied Mr. Stewart, "I've always been treated right since I've been working here. I like The Ford Motor Company. It's a good place to work. I have a good reason for leaving—to go into 'business for myself.'" To start a business of his own was an oath he had made to himself more than ten years previous, when he had to discontinue school to help his parents with the work on the farm. He lived with his parents on a farm at Jasper, Florida, working many years through the entire farming period from sun-up until dark, getting only discouragements and disapointments in the end. Despite all of these struggles, he had a determination not to work for "the other fellow" all his life. At the age of thirty he was married to Fannie Clyde of Valdosta, Florida. He was then only a country boy without education. He had done only farm work and timber cutting. He knew practically nothing about any other kind of work. Many a night after sawing timber all day he would sit by the dim oil light, reading of the success of other farm boys after having so many handicaps, and wondered how far away was his own success. He had already done farm work, timber cutting and factory work—all for the other fellow. Now he felt that he should start his own business and work for himself. South Sea Race Disappearing? EVER since the inhabitants of the Marquesas island became "civilized" they have been victims of the banes as well as the boons of their sophisticated enlightenment. It was the famous Captain Cook and other explorers who introduced the first dawn of civilization to these naked but innocent savages. These discoverers inaugurated fruits and vegetables and other modern customs on Nuku Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas islands. When the white man first visited this island cannibalism was the rule anything else was the exception. Though it may seem strange, these people had considerable difficulty adapting themselves to such tasteless dishes as fruits and vegetables. A.

THE KID ACTS The closet was held shut only by a hook through a staple on the outside. The Kid opened it. Far back in a corner of the top shelf was a small brown package. He took it out. It was a bit of brown burlap neatly folded and tied with a string. He turned and carried the insignificant little bundle to the table set crosswise in the corner of the room at the right of the fireplace. John Belling, the light held high, followed him and set the lamp on the table. With his small penknife the Chocolate Kid cut the string that bound the bit of burlap. It felt stiff beneath his fingers. Carefully he opened it. As he spread it out on the table before them, both men looked at it. A puzzled frown wrinkled the brow of the Chocolate Kid. On the inside surface of the bit of coarse brown cloth was a crude painting of the interior of the room in which they stood. It was as if a child had painted it with the colors from his master's oil-color tubes. The paint was laid on thickly and with odd variations in technique. But one bit or the whole stood out true to life. It was as if a master painter had painted it in to show the child just what might be done. The fireplace was painted in so true to life in every detail that it stood out clearly and unmistakably even to the slight dip of the center stone of the apron and the little indentation at the side. For a long moment the two men stood studying the crude bit of work. Then with a sudden exclamation the Chocolate Kis sprang and crossed to the fireplace. With eager hands that trembled in tense expectancy he began clearing the place of the piled cedar boughs. Firmly, but with shaking finger, he pressed the small depression; then, easily, smoothly, without friction, the large central stone on the apron of the fireplace rose slowly but steadily until it was a half foot above the rest of the floor, held so on four sturdy upright beams hinged at the half-foot height to fold back, carrying the central stone outward and lowering it gently to rest on the inner surface of the hearth. John Belling stood watching the phenomenon with eyes filled with amazed incredulity. But the Chocolate Kid sprang to the opening without hesitancy. Beneath it, in a perfectly fitted compartment, was a leather-covered box. It was about the size of a small trunk, and a handle on the top indicated that it might be lifted from its snug compartment. The Chocolate Kid gripped !VIVE! L'OUVERTURE ECAUSE of his success in opening the way everywhere with his army, he was nicknamed "L'Ouverture," which means "The Opener." the handle without hesitation and lifted. The box was too heavy for one hand. He reached with the other, then tugged with all his wiry strength. Slowly he raised the box and set it beside him on the hearth. Old John Belling had advanced and stood by his side. The box was locked, but the key hung from a slender thong on the handle. A SURPRISE It was the work of a minute to cut the thong and insert the key in the lock and turn it. It turned easily as though it had been used recently. With a quick, easy motion the Kid swung back the top of the box. Both men gasped. Strewed in and among a lot of folded papers there were priceless articles of jewelry and precious stones. "God!" The word burst from the lips of the older man and he sprang forward and bent above the box, his hands outstretched. Tremblingly he grasped a long, thin gold chain that was half hidden by a folded paper that also concealed the oval-shaped diamond-set locket attached to it. With eyes that suddenly glared like a madman's he stood holding the chain with its dangling locket. His lips were bloodless. His brown jaw set in a craglike line. "Mary's!" he said. "Mary's locket! And the damned skunk wrote me she left him and went to South America with another man and took all her jewelry and everything he had given her, too, with her. I've wandered the world looking for her. I've grown old and broken with the failure to find them and wreak my vengeance upon them. Grown so old and broken that it was no wonder he didn't know me, though I was in the same cell with him for days." His voice hissed through his clenched teeth. (Continued on Page 11) SOUTH SEA RACE DISAPPEARING? (Continued from Page 9) was always on hand for the celebration of the pagan religious ceremonies. Cannibalism and the tribal warfare were moreover the favorite pastimes of the Marquesans. Hence they resisted anything that even hinted at order or a restriction of their primitive habits and liberties. The French soon ended the cannibalistic tendencies but frequent epidemics have since nearly destroyed the last Marquesan. The city of Taiohoe was for many years the headquarters of the French administration in these islands. This FASHION HINTS For the Well Dressed Person ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION STICKPINS AND STICKS ARE POPULAR THE recent victorious return of the scarfpin or stickpin has been a great surprise to many haberdashers, who, only six months ago, were of the opinion that the soft collar pin had ousted it from smart male neckwear forever. Now, the two appear to be running neck and neck, so to speak, although the scarfpin seemed to gain a trifle, if anything, during the shopping rush of last Christmas, when so many women were buying gifts for their men relatives. While the collar pin has much in its favor in point of convenience, being very useful in holding a recalcitrant soft collar in place, the scarfpin is more ornamental, and men have begun to be vastly swayed by this factor in choosing their accessories. Who could have predicted a couple of years ago, for example, that the masculine wrist would take kindly, even enthusiastically, to a watch set in a gold mesh bracelet, or that business men would be carrying their paper currency neatly folded in a gold bill clip, set with a large central crystal or opal? Yet no one is prepared to deny that it is the bracelet which usually sells the watch nowadays, and the crystal or opal which sells the bill clip! But to return to scarfpins—the new ones have much larger stones, or pearls, as the case may be, than the old-fashioned variety, and hence pro city now is virtually deserted and no traces of a thriving Marquesan community can be found anywhere. This fact has led science to take the position that diseases of modern civilization introduced on the islands by Captain Cook along with his civilized innovations on human nature have almost eliminated these hardy southerners. The National Geographic Society's latest pronouncement is that the exceptionally high mortality rate of the Marquesans was due largely to the introduction of European diseases. It is not easy to ascertain which of the two kinds of diseases, American or European, have been more effective in exterminating the Marquesans; however, the fact remains that a Marquesan is fast becoming a rarity even in his own country.

Worn below the knot, they hold the folds of the tie securely in place, which also tends to hold the collar down in front; and it is noticeable that to most men a touch of color in this position is very becoming, since it accentuates the brilliance of the eyes. The tie should provide a dark background, of course, as the majority of ties do this season, for if the whole tie is a blaze of color the eyes have little chance. Men are beginning to appreciate these fine nuances of dress—try it on your own mirror! In addition to pearls, always the most popular with middle-aged men and conservative types, most of the well-known semi-precious stones are presented in the new pins—garnets, amethysts, aquamarines, bloodstones, chalcedony, lapis lazuli, crystal, topaz and various shades of quartz. In the most expensive class are emeralds, star-sapphires, star-rubies and catseyes. Usually the stone, uncut, sometimes engraved, is set in a narrow chased platinum or gold border. It is the size of a large, full-grown pea, and, curiously enough, this largeness gives it a sturdy masculine character. Since color contrasts are the vogue in men's apparel this season, and the colors are dark compared to those worn last year and the year before, brilliant accessories are naturally fashionable. The scarfpin should form an abrupt contrast with the color of the tie—a garnet against dark green, for example; lapis against tan; emerald or green quartz against wine-red; an amethyst against dark green again; a topaz against dark blue. The same stones and the same contrasts are likewise the mode with cuff links. These may match the scarfpin, but should form a color contrast with the shirt instead of blending, as they did last year. Whereas it was formerly considered smart to wear, say, blue chalcedony A BABY FOR YOU A BABY FOR YOU Are you denied the blessing of motherhood—the glory of a baby all your own? Do you and your husband yearn for a baby's arms and a baby's smile? Nature does not intend that any woman should be childless. When she is, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly toned up, invigorated and helped to function properly, the blessings of motherhood may be realized. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gen-Tone and expressing their gratitude for what it has done for them. Intended as an aid in revitalizing the organs of reproduction, many report also that it helped to relieve many of the aliments common to women, such as bearing-down and periodical palms, etc., and alda them to lead happier and more companionable lives.

Colored enamel links, grown more ornamental by the combination of black with bright red, green and blue, are still greatly favored for sports wear, except by the very wealthy, who have gone quite mad over the new crystal links with figures of animals, birds, boats or yacht club pennants shimmering in their depths. These links are the result of laborious effort on the part of jewelry artists, who carve the figure out of the back of the crystal and then paint it in the realistic colors, and they are, therefore, very expensive.

A 1997 CHICAGO --- April 6, 1929 Struggling Hearts (Continued from Page 10) "God! If I had known then—but I thought she had left him as she had me—that surely she could have been to blame for his temptation. I thought she had lured him and fooled him as she had fooled me, and I believed he had been sufficiently punished by finding her out. But here is her locket—here, in this cache! And Mary—where is she? The skunk! If he has harmed a hair of her head. If—" The old man's voice broke on a note of menace and a sob. The Chocolate Kid stood, in his turn, dazed and wondering. Then, as the elder man sank down on a chair near the fireplace, holding the locket in his hand, he drew near and waited for a breathing space before he, too, plunged seeking fingers among the pile of papers and jewels. One by one he lifted bundle after bundle of securities from the piled-up documents. Gingerly he opened, at last, the folded paper that had dropped to the floor from old John Belling's listless fingers. His eyes were puzzled as he looked at it. It was a birth certificate. For a moment he locked at the man sitting slumped in the chair, and then gently he called him back to the present. "I wonder how Barry's birth certificate got mixed up with Ott's things?" he said. The other man came back as though he had been wandering in far places. "Barry's birth certificate?" His voice was unhurried, as is the voice of one whose mind is on other things. "Yeah." The Chocolate Kid laid the paper in the listless hand outstretched to receive it. As the dream-filled eyes fell on the paper a change passed over the brown face. His expression suddenly became alive—jerked back to the present by what he saw there. "Son of Annie Dwane Miller!" He shouted the words aloud. His jaw tensed. "He is not Mary's son, then. Not Mary's, but another woman's and Ott's. Why—why—that was the name of the woman who died of smallpox at that deserted cabin just on the outskirts of Colby. They told me there had been another woman and child there, but as soon as they were well a man—a big black fellow—had come for them and taken them away in the night. "And"—his voice became reminiscent—"Ott wrote that Mary and my child had left him a month after she went away with him. I tried to trace them, but there was no trace. I followed even the weak clue of the man and woman and two children that settled in that tenement in Austin. But the woman had died under mysterious and suspicious circumstances, and the man had taken the two children and disappeared. "The neighbors thought they had gone to Chicago, but no one knew. I got the letter then about Mary going to South America, and—" Something seemed to click in the old man's mind. To click and let light into the dark shadows that had been gathering there for years. He turned to the Chocolate Kid, who was again searching through the contents of the box. "The d——d skunk!" He gritted $-ALWAYS HAVE LUCK!-$ Unlucky in Money, Games, Love or Business?

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Aframerican Fables THE PARABLE OF THE HARD GUY By G. V. GARWIN THERE was once a certain egg who took the keenest delight in acquiring and maintaining a reputation of being a tough nut. He was built like a blockhouse, and had, through constant practice, caused his face to develop an expression that was a cross between a bushman and an enraged ape. His voice had the sound of a horn and he let it loose on the slightest provocation. His greatest joy was to approach a prospective victim in a posture like that of Lon Chaney in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," assume that Attilla look, bellow a few sandpapered phrases, and thereby so intimidate the party as to cause him or her to try a little track work—mostly dashes. Or, providing the one approached showed signs of offering some kind of a comeback, the Bad Boy would clutch the objector in his paws and subject same to a Bowery man-handling. Thereafter the efficiently mauled one would give him a complete run-around. Now it wasn't long before this sort of thing made the Big Bully the kingpin in his immediate vicinity. People gave him the go-by, and his approach was the signal for any group to do a rapid fade-out. He was as welcome as a flood, but that didn't cause him any mental distress; he lived in a world unto himself, and was extremely gratified in the knowledge that he was the uncrowned czar of the browbeaters. To see folks quall in his presence was as strong drink to his vitals. He was so mean that he even delighted in seeing a cur turn his tail down and travel when frightened by his vocal explosions. The deferential mien assumed by those unfortunates under his sway caused his face to glow with visible pride. He strove hard at the job of establishing himself as the roughest thing in the community, and his success was beyond question. In his own eyesight he was a combination of Ghengis Khan, Ivan the Terrible and a buzz saw—it being his constant boast that he wasn't afraid of the devil, the dark or the Dead Sea. He threw reckless challenges indiscriminately, and no one was killed in a rush to throw gauntlets of acceptance at his feet. He had a Moll who either from fear, hero-worship or some other left-handed reason, clung to him with New Opportunities Open to Negroes ECENTLY one of the largest Negro newspapers in the country, with a weekly circulation of over 200,000, offered advertising space to the value of $1,000 to the first Negro Business Enterprise in the main business district in a mid-western city, which furnishes convincing demonstration of Negro business ability. It is stipulated that such an establishment must measure up to the highest standards of the district, in beauty of appointment and operation, and that it must cater to all American citizens and employ all races. Another new opening to Negroes is the employment of 200 Negroes by a national chain of grocery stores in their Chicago stores in districts where the patronage is predominantly of the colored race.

Atlanta, Ga. the words so savagely that the other had ceased his searching and looked up again to give closer attention to what he had considered the wanderings of a half-dazed mind. "Chocolate, I've got it all!" There was nothing dazed in those clear tones. The Kid attended him closely. "I didn't tell you; I've never told anyone, and Ott himself doesn't know. Drink and sorrow and remorse have changed me so that even he didn't know me. But I am John Belling Carruth!" At the look of amazed incredulity on the face of the Chocolate Kid the man nodded and drew himself up. BELLING'S IDENTITY "Yes," he said; "the great John Belling Carruth, whose wife left him, and who in turn left his beautiful home and the wealth of his great oil fields so suddenly and faded out of the world of men. I did not tell you and Zola all when I revealed that I was her father. I wanted to find out what had become of her mother, but she is strangely silent on that. The finding of this locket makes me wonder if she knew the truth and for some strange hidden reason let me go on thinking the story I believed was true was the real truth when I told her of it. There is still some mystery that I cannot fathom, but I have the rest. Big Ott was a clerk in my bank when he left suddenly, and my wife and child went with him. I could never find him till I was in that cell with him, but I heard from him, twice. The first letter was to tell me that my wife had left him for another man. THE TRUTH DISCOVERED "The sent me hunting the world for them, but before I went I got the second letter that told me Mary had left for South America with her second paramour—and I believed it. I did not dream that the girl—mine and Mary's—might grow to young womanhood here under Big Ott's malevolent tutelage. When I saw the boy I believed—I thought he was a second child of Mary's. I knew the girl was hers. Her beauty is Mary's and I believed maybe her evil ways were Mary's, too. But now—I am glad that I know this." He paused. "We'll know everything in the morning, when Zola and Barry come out with the crowd Anson Bledsoe is going to guide here—thanks to Angie's help and her genuine honesty. There's a lot for us to clear up tomorrow." With the words the Chocolate Kid looked into the stern eyes of the man from whom the years of ineffective old age seemed to be dropping like a useless, discarded garment. (Whew! -What thrilling revelations! The last installment will tell whether Big Ott gets what's due him. Don't miss it!) FASHION HINTS (Continued from Page 10) modern designs in cuff links, silver has suddenly assumed great importance. Sterling silver links, chased, engraved and engine-turned the same as the gold, are proving enormously popular with the majority, who might hesitate to pay the price of gold ones. They are especially appropriate when the wearer habitually carries a silver cigarette case and lighter—a combination favored by a great many business men. Some of the new silver links have very narrow dark, colored enamel borders, which match enameled cigarette cases or colored leather lighters. The demand for lighters this season appears to be almost as huge as that of last year, when it looked as if every man in the United States must have purchased or been presented with one. Although prices have slumped considerably, the standard minimum for a really good lighter, made of something better than tin, is $5. This is a popular gift price, but in the Fifth avenue and Madison avenue shops, where cases are finely wrought and frequently jeweled or set with a small perfectly good watch, the prices run up into the hundreds of dollars. It is interesting to note how frequently lighters have begun to appear in our popular detective and adventure stories. What a help they are to heroes suddenly dropped into a strange house in the dark! Think what Robinson Crusoe missed by not inventing one! An unusual business is being done this year in walking sticks, with gold or silver-rimmed tops. Perhaps it is prosperity, or perhaps it is travel abroad, but American men are rapidly losing their self-consciousness with regard to this fashionable appurtenance. More and more sticks are being seen on the streets of our large cities, and such is the savoir fajre with which they are carried that it is no longer possible for this writer to spot an Englishman coming far down the block. ECENTLY one of the largest Negro newspapers in the country, with a weekly circulation of over 200,000, offered advertising space to the value of $1,000 to the first These are two significant steps and a tenacity that was surprising; it was inconceivable that anything inside of a shirt could actually love a disposition like that. But that sex is noted for doing things beyond the ken of logic—what? At the height of his unpopular reign, he and his floozy walked into a soft-drink joint one evening to get wrapped around a couple of sodas. As they were making their way to a table a nice-looking young man of average size caught the eye of the Belle and gave her an unmistakable high-sign. The Bad Boy saw the wink, however, and promptly bore down upon the Stranger with a roar like a rhino gone berseck. People fell away from the newcomer as though he had suddenly developed black smallpox. The Bully reached for him—and got the surprise of his life; for the Stranger met his rush with a perfect French "savate." Now for the edification of the reader who has never seen this choice bit of mayhem performed, I will explain it as being a stunt whereby one leaps from the floor and plants both feet in some part of the opponent's anatomy where the contact will cause excruciating and lasting pain. In this instance the Stranger's pedal extremities landed violently against the Bully's degestive organs, and he went down like a torpeded ship. Then he—the Stranger—performed a neat little oneman riot. He tied the Bully's arms into Gordian knots; he used a very creditable toe hold to twist his legs into something resembling a circular staircase; he did more things to his head than Strangler Lewis could have done with his head-lock; and then, having satisfied himself as to the quality of the job, he picked the Bully up bodily and dropped him squarely on his head. The last-mentioned trick produced the coincidental effects of silencing the Bad Boy's howls and knocking him colder than the shady side of the moon. The ambulance carried away one of the most thoroughly tamed bad men that the world has ever seen. The last heard of him was that upon his release from the hospital he was headed for parts unknown—the more unknown the better. EVERY NAPOLEON HAS HIS WATERLOO. mean that new vistas are being opened to Negroes. For a long while national chain stores refused absolutely to employ Negroes in their neighborhood stores. It is to be noted that several of the large chain organizations have recently been employing Negroes. Undoubtedly the Negro must be proving himself more competent along business lines, else these increased outlets for his business and executive ability would not be accorded. There is a growing tendency all over the country toward increased economic opportunities for the Negro race.
