(Song of Solomon) UT of the mists of three thousand years, there has come down to us this most beautiful love story of the ancients—how the black queen of a mighty empire attracted by the fame and wisdom of a great Judean monarch, made a long journey to and how each fell deeply in love with the other sight.

Here is the story as it is told in the Kebar Nagast. The Kebar Nagast, or the Glory of Kings, is the chronicle of the reign of centuries of Ethiopian Kings prior to the Queen of Sheba. It dates back to the dimist antiquity, and is written in the original Ethiopian, which is the mother of our alphabet. During the reign of Queen victoria, an English expedition under Lord Napier invaded Abyssinia, defeated the king, Theodore, and took the Kebar Nagast to England, where it was placed in the British Museum. In 1872 while a British admiral was visiting the Emperor Menelik II, the admiral, in parting asked Menelik whether he would like him to take any message to Queen Victoria. On this the Empress Taitu, consort of Menelik, said: "Yes, say to her that her soldiers have taken from us a Book that we hold most dear—a Book necessary to the orderly governing of our kingdom—the Book of the Queen of Sheba, of Solomon, and their son, the Emperor Menelik I, Our Book! I pray to God that she returns it." The message was delivered, and the Kebar Nagust in due time, was returned to its old place in the Ethiopian archives. On it is now the following inscription: "Returned by the British Museum, Dec. 14, 1872." "Burnt Men" It might also be noted that the word "Sheba" is the ancient name of Abyssinia. The Shebians, or Sebans, did not call themselves Ethiopians. That word was coined by the Greeks and meant the "Land of the Blacks, or Burnt Men." The Sebans were descendants of Seba, son of Cush, and grandson of Ham. Seba founded the Seban Empire some 4,000 years before the Queen of Sheba. Another grandson of Ham, Nimrod, "the mighty hunter before the Lord," founded the great Assyrian Empire (Gen. 10, 6-10). The descendants of Cush who went into Africa became blackened by the sun, while those who remained in Asia retained their yellow complexions. Some two thousand years later the Sebans, or Ethiopians, extended their power into Asia, conquering the land of the Asiatic Cushites. It is not known just how far their empire extended, but this fact is certain: the Ethiopians or Abyssinians ruled in Arabia until 570 A. D., when they were driven out by Mahomet. The Ethiopians enjoyed tremendous prestige. More than once they were masters of Egypt, and they made a treaty with the Roman Em- --- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION.

Homer speaks of them "as the wisest of men, the most distant, and the most favored of the gods." Ethiopia was regarded as the ancient Eden by the Greeks. At the period with which we are about to deal, the Sebans, or Ethiopians were the most powerful people in what is now known as the Near East, perhaps in the world. THE STORY. The following is a digest of the translation from the Kebar Nagast by Hugues Le Roux, noted French scholar. To this is added parts of the Arabian version. At the time that the story opens, Solomon, son of David, was filling the East with the glory of his name. He was building the Temple and had sent his messengers to all lands inviting the merchants to come to Jerusalem with their caravans in order that he might buy of them. He was particularly anxious to get in touch with a famed Ethiopian merchant named Tamrin, and he sent for him. Solomon wanted the precious woods, the marble, and most of all, the red gold of Ethiopia. In due time Tamrin arrived and from the first, was so fascinated by Solomon that after disposing of his wares, he lingered on at Jerusalem. But at last he had to return in order to give his queen the money he had for her. On his departure Solomon opened his treasure house and gave Tamrin rich presents for the Queen of Sheba. Once more in Ethiopia, Tamrin was received in the audience chamber of the Queen, and with all her courtiers assembled, he told of the wonders and splendor of Jerusalem. But his chief praise was centered on Solomon. "When he speaks, Your Majesty," said Tamrin, "it is with gentleness and humility. He pardons those who commit wrong; the wisdom and fear of God governs his home and Queen Makeda was extraordinarily impressed. Again and again she called Tamrin to tell her about Solomon, and as often Tamrin had to tell about the wonderful temple Solomon was building; how he received daily between 700 and 800 merchants; and how all that he did was marked with wisdom and knowledge. At last Makeda unable to restrain her curiosity, decided that she would go to Jerusalem herself. Calling her people together she said: "I go in search of knowledge and wisdom. My heart forces me to go; it is wounded by love of wisdom, which is greater than all the treasures of the earth." Accordingly she assembled one of the greatest caravans of all time. In it were 787 asses, mules and camels loaded with some of the choicest treasures of her empire—gold and silver, precious stones, amber, rare woods, perfumes and myrrh. Solomon, hearing of her visit, had prepared a special apartment for her reception. It was of crystal from the floor to the ceiling. Under the flooring ran a stream of water. Solomon had heard a certain story about Queen Makeda and this was a ruse to discover if it was true. He had heard that one of her legs resembled that of a jackass and was covered with hair. Finally Makeda with all her train arrived and was conducted into the apartment. Thinking she was stepping into water, she lifted her dress, but King Solomon's attention was so held by the beauty of her face and the magnificence of her apparel that he forgot to look at her legs. The fact is that Makeda) had been bitten by a jackal on her leg in her youth and limped a little, which had given rise to the tale. Makeda had come prepared to admire but what she saw was so vastly greater that she was overwhelmed. The marvelous Temple, not then completed, the gardens of the palace; the arsenals. Never had she seen anything the like of it. "Your Majesty," she said, "the half has not been told." Solomon, on his side, too, was not the less impressed. The size of the caravan. The value of the presents Makeda had brought him. "She gave the king 120 talents of gold, and of spices very great store and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon."—I Kings, 10:10. The 120 talents of gold alone was worth $3,690,000—a vastly greater sum in those days. Truly a royal present! What must be the wealth and power of a Queen who could make such a gift!

The murder had been preceded by horrible sounds of CREEFING as if a great serpent were crawling overhead. It was discovered by Dioron, his Haitian servant, who, with his old wife, Meme, are the sole occupants of the house other than himself. After having been viewed by several people the girl is found to have vanished when the coroner appears on the scene. No trace of it is found. The next night, Meme, who has prevailed upon the officials to let her try to solve the mystery by staying in the room of mystery, is also murdered and spirited away. Alene Hardmore, a woman detective, has gotten permission to try the perilous experiment this time, although the famous detective, Tom Frederick, has been summoned to the case by his friend and co-worker, Alee Jonas. He is forced to give precedence for this first night to Miss Hardmore, a domineering and unpleasant person, who braggs of her ability to solve the problem. Now go on with the story. INSTALLMENT IV.

There was something of relief in being rid of the big dominating, black personality of her. It was a relief that made me forget for the moment that she was shutting herself in with a very real peril. A bit heightened probably by my own skepticism as to the deductions arrived at by those who heretofore had been in the position of observers, or rather hearers, I was loathe to accept even Alec's explanations of just what had occurred on the two previous occasions of the weird and eerie manifestations of what they all spoke of with bated breath as the Creeping Thing. Alec did not smile in return. Instead his face was grave with something of horror behind the gravity of it. "We ought not to let her do this, Tom," he said and his voice was troubled. "But, Mon Dieu! who can stop her? Such a femme, so — so —" Old Diarons voice as he broke in, was a study in concern, vexation and helpless exasperation. He broke off abruptly. There were no words strong enough to express his opinion of a woman like Alene Hardmore, detective extraordinary, and woman hard-boiled. "I am inclined to believe that the Creeping Thing will find a match in the lady in question," I soothed them, facetiously, although something in the mystery and uncanny silence of the place was slowly getting into my blood. I did not feel as unconcerned as I would have them think. At the entrance to the wide corridor we stopped and involuntarily our eyes turned with one accord to the tall, blank space of the closed doorway leading into the octagonal room. It stared back at us like a sealed entrance to a tomb. Shrugging my shoulders as if to rid them of a horror, intangible but, nevertheless, very real, I raised my voice to its normal outdoor pitch. It was an effort of which my companions were as conscious as I. Investigation. "Come on, Alec, let's investigate this blind alley here," I vociferated. "We may find the lair of this Thing that creeps about. It must be the father and mother of all the pythons, from what you guys are telling me about it. And if it is, it's got to have a den somewhere; it can't possibly do its deadly work and then vanish into thin air. The darned Thing's too big for that. And if it eats its prey, it's got to lie away somewhere to digest it. Come on, let's get going." With a bravado I did not feel, I turned and went into the short corridor with the tiny window high up—its only opening—which separated the octagonal room from the rest of the house, lying toward the front. Alec followed me in silence. Old Diaron sank with a sigh of exasperated concern into his chair just outside the narrow hall. It seemed to say: "Go on, young fool, there's nothing but your own personal experience that will teach you sense." Diaron was a fatalist. His sigh was prophetic. The corridor was irregular. It followed the contours of the two sides of the octagonal room that faced the front of the building. I held my flashlight high and examined those walls carefully. They were smooth and solid all the way up. I turned my attention to the straight wall of the room from which, separated by the width of the passage between them, they rayed away in oblique lines from the central angle of their joined corners. Like the other walls, it was smooth and solid. The infinitesimal window and the doorway leading to the main central corridor of the upper story of Selwyn House were the only openings in the place. Alec had been right, there was no explanation here. I was just a big chagrined. I had been pretty sure that I would find some explanation here—some clew to a possible mode of entrance and egress from without—in that otherwise perfectly unexplained passage. When I A But in sudden rage at the water of fear that seemed to be rising silently in my own veins as that sound kept on in the dreadful house, I swore viciously at the old man and tore his clinging hands from my arms.

He said nothing, but pursed his lips in the knowing way he had. "Well, so you are beginning to doubt your omnipotence," the expression said. I shook myself. I didn't intend to let the first setback get my goat. "Well," I said, "one swallow doesn't make a spring and one theory doesn't prove a fact." "There aren't any theories about Ezra's murder and Meme's." The words were coldly and calmly conclusive. Alec spoke them at my elbow. "Well, I guess you must be right there, Alec, but if this Thing gets in there tonight and makes as much racket as you folks say it does, there's not going to be any theory about what it does to the giant black Hawkshawess now grimly ensconced therein, if Tom Frederick knows himself." I ostentatiously loosened the big forty-four strapped in its holster beneath my arm and fiddled for a moment with the other at my waist, smiling determinedly the while. "I hope so." For all my bravado, something of the fearful uncertainty in Alec's manner and tone seemed to get across to me. I found myself IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE against something supernatural. I looked across at old Diaron leaning back against the wall with his chair legs tilted in air. His sphynx-like black face gave me no comfort. "We might as well have a smoke while we are waiting," I opined, and pulling out my cigarettes, I offered them to my two companions. "Thanks." Alec took one. "I never smoke anything but my old pipe, Monsieur." Diaron took out his strong scented old cob pipe and began filling it. "If the Thing can stand the odor of that pipe of yours, Diaron, it must be a pretty tough customer." I joked. It seemed to me that if I didn't do something to relieve the serious concern of those two, and at the same time break the tension of my own rapidly heightening nervous sympathy with their mood, I would go loco. But there seemed nothing that would bring them out of it. They both seemed wrapped in an almost tangible cloak of dread and expectant horror. Sitting thus together—Alec and I had brought chairs from the adjoining bedroom—we smoked a while in silence. At last I could stand it no longer. I got up and with the excuse that I wanted to look around some more. I left them. I simply had to get away from the tense atmosphere of horror in Selwyn House. Taking my hat from the hall rack, where I had left it, I clapped it on my head and went out into the garden. As I sauntered along the weed-grown paths that had once been beautifully-laid-out brick walks, I looked up at the shadowy walls of the big pile of stone and brick that was intended for the home of happiness for young Ezra Selwyn and his bride, Mary. "So," I mused, "does life bring to naught the dreams of man." The rising wind was gathering black clouds together like some giant fist closing over the world, and bunching great shadows to fling trees swayed uneasily in the silence, across and blight its light. The great July 13. 1929 By Cora Jean Moten The Well-Known Serial Writer be rising silently in my own iciously at the old man and Suddenly, as the plumy branches swayed above me, I thought I saw a dim glow where but a moment previously there had been blackness. I stopped, abruptly. My breath came in short, sharp gusts. I held myself motionless. Above me in the black velvet night towered the great mass of the octagonal tower of horror and mystery. There was no mistake. I had seen a faint glow in those windows high up there above me. "But"—I thought after the first startled moment,—"what of that? The woman in there would naturally have a light. The great candles would give some such glow." Yet I continued to stand and stare. "For," reiterated my thought, "why did you not observe the light when you first looked up there?" "You're getting as nervous as a grandmother, Tom," I spoke aloud to myself, trying to pound reason and some sort of calming balm into my mind and my nerves. "That Hardmore woman has simply lighted a candle to investigate something." But in spite of my words, I shook myself into action and turning on my heels strode hurriedly into the house. A Ghastly Sound As the front door closed behind me, I heard it. I thought at first it was the sudden jar of the closing door. But only for an instant did I entertain this mistake.

"Scr-r-r-u-u-s-h, Scr-u-u-s-h-h," it was—even there at the foot of the stairs—as if some huge body, reptilian, and monstrous, pervaded the whole building—encircled it in slimy folds of death. Horror flooded my veins and froze me for a brief instant into inaction. Then, with a super-human effort of the will, I broke the bonds of terror that held me motionless and sped up the long stairs, two steps at a time. At the top, I saw Alec and old Diaron standing as I had stood for the breathing space at the bottom of the steps. With a cry of fear, Old Diaron seemed to be released for the moment by the very knowledge of my presence. He flung himself into my arms, shrieking and chattering in very excess of terror. "It's come again. It's come again," he shrieked. Alec, too, looked at me as if the renewal of the horror had sapped his courage—a courage that I had proven in many a bout with danger. The sight of Alec's fear-filled eyes was almost my undoing. But in sudden rage at the water of fear that seemed to be rising relentlessly in my own veins as that sound kept on in the dreadful house, I swore viciously at the old man and tore his clinging hands from my arms. "Come on, you damned cowards," I shrilled, "there's a woman in there alone with that hellish creature. Reptile or devil, it is up to us to get her out of there—and" I was at the tall narrow door wrenching and tearing at the knob. Alec, pale-faced but with the grimly fatalistic courage that was a part of him, was at my elbow. The knob slid easily in my fingers but there was no contact with the mechanism of the lock. It was as if some grim force jested with horror and made of us, outside there in the shadows, the butts of its humor. I twisted and turned. I hurled myself against that blank door. It was as if I hurled myself against a stone bulwark. There was no tremor, no sign of any giving of that grim barrier. The sweat was pouring from my forehead. I turned by twisted face to Alec's. There was only the blankness of utter helplessness there. Beyond in the entry to the open corridor Diaron crouched, whimpering fearfully. Suddenly the sound ceased. The silence was as dreadful as the sound had been. More so, in fact. With a sudden frenzied access of effort, I seized the knob again. This time it did not budge.

Beyond the door, muffled as though by great distance, I heard the sounds of struggle. There was a thrashing as of great bodies in conflict. Frightful breathings, stifled groans, and gaspings and gurglings made the night hideous with horror. I turned again to Alec. "Is there an ax, a hatchet, anything with which we can batter this damned door in?" I hissed at him. My voice was hoarse with helpless rage at my own inaction. "I don't know." he said. "Is there?" he shot the question at old Diaron. The words were a second registering on the fear-crazed mind of the Haitian. But before he could reply, the terrible creeping sound began again.

We lived with our mother in a sort of lopsided, two-room shed. I never knew my father. I attended the nearest public school in a fairly spasmodic manner for six years. Then, when I was twelve my mother died. The city buried her in the potter's field. The two boys were sent to an orphanage. All this happened twelve years ago. Through the influence of the truant officer who had been largely responsible for my six years of inadequate schooling, I was introduced into the home of old Mrs. Stone. Old Mrs. Stone was kind to me in her way. My life at her home was at least decent. Nell Parks, a notorious older "friend" of mine, was a creature whose showy mulatto beauty, under Slabtown conditions was an almost certain indication of her profession. I know that Nell Parks had a genuine liking for me. She had always had it. When I was a small, hungry, dirty, little outcast, she used to share her crusts with me and try to warm my hands between her own icy little claws as we used to race to school. The memory of these things were hidden deep in my heart and kept me always from snubbing her. Yet—I didn't like to have her hail me with a familiar "Hello, kid," run her hand through my arm and walk down the street with me. Misunderstanding. It was such a public association as this that led to the general frowning of parents upon friendships between me and their daughters. I understood and didn't blame them, but, oh, how I suffered. It seemed to me that they ought to see that I was not like Nell Parks and I really do think they knew but what could any of us do? Small town customs are hard to break and I was born in Nell's class. I knew—and I determined to climb and climb till I was far above the slime of my beginnings. So though I flinched from her, I was kind to Nell in the only way I could be—my treatment of her. My kindness to Nell bore fruit. She secured my first job down at the lamp factory when old lady Stone died and left me no hope of employment. I met Nell the first night I engaged a cheap room at a hotel. Nell looked troubled. "What's the matter Nell?" I said, "is there anything I can do for you?" "It ain't me, Kid, it's you I'm thinkin' about. These hotels aint no place for kids like you, Lula. How'd you like to go to a sure enough home and live?" She looked at me and I looked at her wonderingly. "A home?" my voice had an unbelieving tone. "Yes," she said, and there was relief in her tones. "I can see by your face you like the idea, kid, and—I'm glad. I didn't know just what you had fixed up. When you told me you was staying at the hotel here, I wondered if—but I mighta knowed you would stay—straight—I'm—glad—Kid." If I hadn't known how hard Nell could be I'd have sworn there were tears in her eyes as she turned them away from me. Nell delivered me to the care of the Lees, who were very kind souls. One girl, alone, of all the workers at the factory, treated me with intimacy. Arlie Mack, a rabbit-faced, brown girl with crinkly reddish hair, whose flimsy dresses were always gaudily colored and trimmed. The Mack home was in the next block from the Lees. Consequently Arlie and I were frequently together. One evening on our way home Arlie slyly asked questions about the sordid side of life that was supposed to exist among the inhabitants of Slabtown. At the very first question, I became uncomfortable. I had welcomed her friendship so eagerly as the first step upward from slime, but she was now asking me to delve into this for her entertainment. For—although I had lived surrounded by filth until I was twelve years old, it had never touched my innocent childhood. Finding herself making such poor headway in this manner she boldly took me into her confidence. She related some of the most repulsive accounts of personal escapades, always with the understanding that I would be equally frank with her. Of my own experiences I had nothing to match the things she told me of herself but I told many stories of others with a little embellishing here and there. My well known friendship with Nell Parks was a strong point in my favor. This attitude of Arlie's told me how impossible it was in my birthplace to ever win my name free of stain in the estimation of my townsmen. I was young and starved for pleasure. Youth dreams of love. I was ripe for the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION FROM N ted to Live—to be ated, a Victim of C Reap the Benefits o Confession of a Girl ty by an Unsympathe plan that Arlie laid me. Temptation. "It's all in the way you go about it, Lula," Arlie said to me. "Y'see I go after the swells, n' they're as keen as I am to keep quiet a'count their women folks. I mean to marry one of them swells some o' these days anyhow, an' y' ruin your chances if you let things get out on you, see?" If Arlie Mack could do things that she was doing and still enjoy respectability, why should I be so particular? I, who had no respectability to lose might as well snatch at any fleeting pleasure life might offer me. Arlie's favorite method of enjoying her secret affairs was to leave home at six or seven o'clock in the evening seemingly to go to the movies. Then instead of going there, she would wait in the shadows until Clyde Ross, son of the Lamp Shade factory owner, or Billy Summers, the wild son of the wealthiest banker in town, met her with a high powered roadster. Then she would climb into the bright scarlet Lincoln or the screaming yellow Packard as the case might be, to be whirled away in a mad burst of speed to forbidden places. She was very successful and cunning in her excuses. With a confederate she reasoned her opportunities would be very widely extended. So she sought me out. "We will let on to the folks that we are doing extra work at the factory, Lula," she confided to me. "Then we will pretend that we have saved enough money for a little trip to the city when the work slacks down week after next. It'll be a cinch. Clyde said if I could get you to go on a bat, him an' Billy would stand the cost and give us enough to make it worth our while besides. Billy likes your looks. He said so. He always was sweet on you but he thinks you are a wet blanket. I told him he was all wet; that you just didn't know the ropes then." As Arlie talked I felt ashamed. I understood Billy Summers perfectly. Oh, yes, I knew well his intentions. My Venture. We did not go to the city with the boys. That would have been a dead give away. We went in one Sunday morning on the interurban. After boarding the car I sat beside a clean limbed, frank faced brown skinned lad a few years older than myself. A small particle of dust blew into my eye. I gave a little gasping cry of pain. Instantly the young man beside me turned all sympathetic helpfulness and apology for keeping the window open. With the utmost gentleness he removed the bit of dust from my eye. "Gee," he said when I smilingly thanked him, "I'm glad I got it out. I got a cinder in my eye on the way out to the foundry yesterday and I know how anything like that can hurt." "Do you work at the foundry?" I asked, at a loss for something to say. I liked the clean look of strength about John Rogan the minute I saw him. "Yeah, I been working out there a year now an' I'm going in to the city to celebrate the raise they gave me yesterday. Do you live in the city?" he asked rather bashfully I thought. "I??"—I laughed happily—"do I look like a city girl?" look like a city girl. "You are pretty enough to belong anywhere," he countered, eyeing me admiringly. I blushed, but a happy little thrill ran up and down my spine. "Well, I don't live in the city but I'm going to be there for a week"—I paused. Suddenly the thought struck me of how I intended to spend that week and the blood drained back into my heart in a pouring flood of shame. But John Rogan only looked at me with that worshipful glow of admiration in his honest eyes. I turned my face away and looked out of the window. "Say," his voice was eager, "when you come back to town can't I come in and see you sometime? Do you live in town or out?" "I live out at the Foundry," he said simply "board with the Smiths." said simply, "board with the Smiths." The train pulled into the city terminal. I was sorry to see the broad-shouldered boy I had just met disappear. He looked back as Arlie and I stepped into the taxi that the boys we were to meet had sent for us. I felt my hands go cold and my heart felt as heavy as lead as Arlie chattered away about the good times in store for us and how easily we had fooled the folks at home. She was still chattering when we reached the fourth-rate hotel where reservations had been made for us. Through Arlie, the dissipated youths had supplied us with ample funds till they should arrive. We did not know the city so we started out haphazardly to see what we could. As we stood waiting for the traffic to pass on a congested corner, near the hotel, I noticed a big copper-colored policeman in uniform swinging across the street ahead of us. A shrill childish cry almost directly in front of me caused him to swing around as though he were turned about by a spring. I did not have time to sense the danger till it was over. The child darted past us from the curb directly in the path of a high powered, speeding car. On the turn of a breath I darted after her, just the two steps forward that gave me a firm grip on Maggie Wallace's flying gingham dress. Jim Wallace had us both in his arms almost before I had risen from the dust where the sudden effort had thrown me. This was how I met the Wallace family. It was a tear-eyed mother, Maggie, that darned the stocking torn by the sudden effort put forth to save Maggie, Jr. Arlie sat impatiently but the peace and calm of that home gave me a restful feeling of cleanliness. Somehow I hated to leave that calm little home of respectability for the things I knew awaited me. But at last Arlie's impatience won. We left. The Arrival It was about ten o'clock that night when Clyde and Billy got to the hotel. About an hour later with tongues loosed and passion unleashed by liquor I began to see them in a different light from the light-hearted and innocent society boys who were going to give us a good time. The new light in which I saw them frightened me. I began to regret that I had shared this venture with Arlie. 55 Before my mind, there flitted pictures of girls who began similarly and had ended in social disgrace. knew the cross roads at which I stood, and somewhere deep down in my soul was a little unuttered prayer. Billy's circling arms closed around me and his passionate lips sought mine. I felt the youth within me melting to the touch of youth and very deliberately, even desperately, I set my feet upon the gay path that leads down to life's bottom-most pits. Clyde and Arlie had already disappeared in the other room. We could hear the sound of smothered kisses and giggles. At length, drowsy with love and desire, we entered the other room and shut the world out. But scarcely had we entered when suddenly we heard a great commotion outside in the corridor. The place was raided. "Come on outs there and make it snappy," the harsh voice of the big blue clad policeman frightened us. Arlie and I spent the night at the police station. All of us gave fictitious names. The boys offered cash bonds for us but with sneering and embarrassing jokes the officers told us we would have to face the music in morning court. Each of us was fined. The boys peeled off the amount of the fines and we were at liberty again. We felt more than ever at their disposal now that they had spent so much money on us. I was looking up the street when a big uniformed figure stopped beside me. I turned and looked up into the face of Jim Wallace. Beside him was—Nell Parks. Sha'me It was she who spoke first. "Yeah, these is them, Jim," she said, and her remark was addressed to the big copper-colored cop. Nell cut in. "Say, Arlie Mack," she said, and her voice, was sharp and hard, "you may be better'm Slabtowners at home and I ain't got no call and no business telling any of the things I know on you back there. They'll tell themselves sooner or later. But this kid's been clean all along. She musta been born that way, I guess. God knows she ain't never had no example from any of the rest of us down there. Anyhow if you and Bill and Clyde and any of the rest of that bunch try any more of yore come-hither work with her there's goin' 't be somethin' bust." She stopped and her eyes were harder than ever as she shot a long level glance at Arlie. To think of Nell Parks trying to help keep me pure. And I had been proud to go with Arlie and ashamed to show kindness to Nell. What a puzzle life is anyway! "Thank you, Nell," I said, and that was all; my heart was too full for more. Her "goodbye" was curt and clipped as though she checked something and held it in her heart. Respectability Triumphs With a new hope dawning in my heart, I followed Jim Wallace. "Here she is, Maggie." The words and look of infinite tenderness and compassion in the eyes of Maggie Wallace when we entered the quiet little flat (the three older children were at school and the baby asleep) told me that she knew the story and that at last I had found a real haven. Only God knew the thankfulness in my awakened soul for the warmth of the folding arms when she pressed me to her breast without a word. You can imagine the joy in my heart when that same week I discovered that John Rogan, my acquaintance of the dust mote, was Mrs. Wallace's brother. John and I afterwards became sweethearts. Six months later we were united in the marriage which happily has still lasted. We have our differences as every married couple. But the memory of our meeting and little John, Jr., serve to keep our lives rich with abiding love. And Nell Parks, God bless her, beyond the pale of respectability as she is, was the divine instrument that made possible my fine husband and baby, by saving me from myself.

While school is in session, there is regular rising, eating and leaving for school. In school, there are regular routine and tasks. This daily exercise in forming regular habits is by no means the least important of the results for which the school thrives. Mrs. Elise Ayer Mrs. Elise Ayer Knowing this, the wise mother begins now to give thought to the daily program for her child, between school closing and opening. She realizes the danger of allowing a complete lapse of child discipline. But she must not spoil the joy of vacation by being over-careful. If she will let the spirit of play pervade all of her directing, she can attain a happy household through some sort of routine for each day. Little girls love to play "house." Morning tasks may be given to them which they will find possible and enjoyable. The mother is now the teacher and the home the class room. Mother must take time to give much needed training in house work. Some cooking, cleaning and sewing is within the ability of even a five-year-old. A party now and then calls forth all of this ability and is a suitable reward as well as a chance to show what has been learned. A sewing club is a pleasant variation and adds the social feature. Boys like to run errands. They may be trained to see the business end of marketing, especially if the mother herself has the up-to-date manager's preparation for so important a task. A boy will learn much in reading, geography, economics and arithmetic, if he is led to read the morning's paper for easily comprehended market news for the day. Actual trading at the stands will keep him alert and sharp as well as make him an interested party in the household economy. Incidentally, he gets some muscle exercise carrying home the purchases. Some boys like to press and iron clothes; others prefer the odd carpentry jobs around the house. Whatever is suitable and likable for the boy to do should be given him as part of his daily outline of activities. To make these tasks more enjoy- Why do you hopelessly endure rheumatic pain?

W, National Toilet Co., Paris, Tenn. Ill Negro Music is a remarkable collection of talented young Negroes. It is their extraordinary performance, which has been deeply important in inspiring Dr. Dett to his greatest achievements. It is said that in this choir are soprano voices capable of the height of Tetrazzini, and bass voices capable of the depth of Chaliapin. It is for this student group that many of his choral numbers are written. This choir is known to be a world in itself, and is as nearly perfect as can be found this side of the celebrated Vatican choir of Rome, Italy. The members' voices perfectly blend with each other, and so close has been their team work that the slightest change in the personnel is likely to cause very noticeable effects in the keen harmony which they produce. Again Dr. Dett is philanthropic with opportunity. He has elevated the music of Hampton Institute to the highest point. Musicians of the highest order have been imported there in order to give the Hampton student body the most exclusive training and background. Dr. Dett's birthplace is Drummondsville, Ont., Canada. In 1908 he graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, with the degree of Bachelor of Music. That he possesses one of the most marvelous musical talents in America is attested by the fact that he has received the doctor's degree at both Oberlin and Howard, the Francis Boott prize for original vocal contrapuntal composition in the style of Mozart, and the Bowdow prize for his essay on the "Emancipation of Negro Music." At present, Dr. Dett is director of the School of Music at Hampton Institute. He is also a noted pianist. He has freed the Negro ensemble through his choir from the confines of the more primitive type of folk song singing, by his presentation of certified programs sung in distinctly professional manner on the plane of dignified artistry. The occupational census of 1920 reports 41,056 Negro men and 39,127 Negro women in professional groups, a total of 80,183 of the 2,-143,889 listed occupationally by the census as in the professional group. Among the Negro men professionals are 19,343 clergymen; 6,319 teachers; 3,752 musicians and teachers of music; 3,430 physicians and surgeons; 1,378 actors; 496 college presidents and professors.

Shall I propose again, and when and how should I do it? "SINCERE LOVE.” There is much truth in the old say- ing, “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” however moss-grown it may sound to us moderns. Provided that absence is not too long, it is very stimulating to love. During an ab- sence of two or three months the im- age of our loved one is still clear and vibrant in the mind, and we contrast the pleasures we enjoyed with our ae to the emptiness we feel with- out him or her, | But I advise no lover to stay away six months, because in that time, the mind gets too many new impressions which have a tendency to blur and displace former impressions, If the sunshine is moved from one side to the other of a flower, the shady side will in time begin to droop; and, like flowers, human beings need constant stimulus. By all means, ask her again. Send her some red roses; take her to din- ner, and then for a stroll in the near- ess park.

Having won the confidence of Mrs. Knox, Miss Choisy says that the former told her about the house, after she had taken an oath that she would be "discreet and tell no one." "There," explains Mrs. Knox, "is a very good house, known only to a select few. It is a house of men for women. None of your vulgar gigolos.

Maryse Choisy suggests that for eight dollars she would expect nothing less than an English lord or a French duke. Mrs. Knox replies very seriously: "Oh, I do not think you'll find any of those there." Both start for the house. "We stop before a cosy house hidden by a clean, geometrical, well-kept garden. It could be the home of an old dowager with trains of velvet and a gallery of ancestors. It could be the retreat of a poet or of a midle-class couple with a large family. Inside is an appearance of great luxury. One smells the steam-heat, the soap, the American atmosphere. An influence of decorative art overspreads the furniture. A grand-dame welcomes us with an aristocratic smile as to a tea in high life. She makes social presentations which sound like a reception at the American Embassy. I hear only Prince X——, Duke Y——, Count Z——" But among these princes, dukes and what-nots, Miss Choisy recog- nizes two male cocottes that she had met at another establishment. After chatting for some time about art, the elections, the weather, income tax and the like, Mrs. Knox whispers in the ear of her friend, bidding her to choose one of the gigolos. "I reply very courteously: 'After you, my dear.'" "No after you,' insists Mrs. Knox." "I choose the Prince Ludmirsky-Kossattkoff. I wish to enlighten myself on a point of geography. I recognize that accent of his and it certainly is not Russian." Outside the parlor she stops the Prince, promising to pay him his tip just the same. She begins to ask him questions. "Do you have many clients here?" "Oh, yes, plenty English and American women." She learns among other things that he earns eight dollars a day (more than half of which is taken by the house), as well as the fact that he knows only a few carefully memorized Russian phrases. Some time later she and Mrs. Knox are back on the street. Mrs. Knox is boasting about her Prince Igor. "He told me that I am very pretty today," she beamed: ADDRESS CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMENTS TO THE PARIS PEPPER-POT. ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION, IN CARE OF THIS PAPER.

Combine Marvelous Marvelous Love Story (Continued from page one) The 120 talents of gold alone was worth $3,690,000—a vastly greater sum in those days. Truly a royal present! What must be the wealth and power of a Queen who could make such a gift! Love At First Sight But something else had happened; the dark olive-colored king and the beautiful and majestic black queen had fallen in love with each other on sight. Each was dazzled by the other Each demanded in his or her heart: "What is this I behold? Is it a vision or a living creature?" Solomon had built for Makeda a throne covered with carpets of silk, and hung with fringes of gold, silver, pearls and diamonds. She sat on this throne by his side; he delivered judgment, and she marvelled at his wisdom. He gave great banquets for her—the banqueting hall of which was so perfumed with myrrh, galbanum, and incense that one was almost already filled by the odor of them. She accompanied the king as he went about giving orders for the building of the Temple. She saw him give the measures to the workmen; she saw him balancing the instruments, commanding the carpenters, the marble-workers, the jewellers. (Continued from page four) the whole top of the scalp had been removed—cleanly as an Indian does. The woman had been scalped and she was dead. There was no doubt of Alene Hardmore's death. I saw that at the first glance. There should be no disappearance of this body, though, that at least I would prevent. Very deliberately, but not without inward tremors, I took my cigarette lighter from my pocket and carefully and methodically proceeded to light every one of the huge cancles in that room of death.
