Casual as that event seemed, there is good evidence for the belief that it had its origin in some obscure recess of the woman's mind; or in perhaps some deep and but half-comprehended instinct that drove her, against the reasoning of her brain, to embark upon what must have seemed a fantastically hopeless venture. For Mamba had arrived at an ag] that lay on the downhill side of fifty, and her habitat had always been the waterfront. The amazing thing is that, having arrived at her decision, she was able to muster the courage necessary to take the step: In the Charleston of Mamba's day the Negro population might have been divided into two general classes: the upper, consisting of those who had white folks, belonged to the Negro quality and enjoyed a certain dolorous respectability; and the lower class, members of which had no white folks and were little better than outcasts. How long Mamba had incubated her amazing plan there is no way of knowing. It is quite certain, however, that she reinforced the initial whisper with a "cunjer" that promised success, and that then, armed only with an enormous and devious experience and a remarkable histrionic talent, she selected her point of attack. But in the last step she showed the genius that was to predestine her to ultimate success. The Wentworths, as was well known, had been wealthy plantation people before the war. But that fate which arranges the rise and fall of aristocracies had placed the original grant from the British Crown directly across the line of march to be taken six generations later by General Sherman. The condition of the Wentworths after the army had passed through their plantation was a sustained corroboration of the general's famous definition. Immediately after the war the family had abandoned the charred remnants of what had once been the ancestral home, sold the land to liquidate old debts, and moved to Charleston. There they settled in the little brick dwelling near the Battery that they still occupied when they were selected by Mamba as her point of attack. At that time there were four members of the family. Mrs. Wentworth was a widow in the early forties, possessed of intelligence, unquenchable industry, and a personal charm that the exigent years were stiffening into a manner almost too rigid for so soft a word. It was so desperately important for her children to hold their place in the society in which they had been born. It was as though, knowing the material odds against her, she dared not give an inch. The boy, St. Julien de Chatigny Wentworth, was now fourteen years of age. He had inherited an ancestral curse in the nickname of Saint, and was at the stage of being torn between a genuine desire for knowledge and the frustrating public-school system of the period. Polly, the girl, was altogether charming. A slender blonde of twelve, she was now in attendance at the Misses Sass's school for young gentlemen, on Legare street, and in accordance with the custom of the old city, was just beginning to attend her first dancing-school soirees in the company of her brother. The fourth and by no means the least important member of the family was Maum Netta. She was a small intensely black woman of great delicacy of feeling, and with a sense of social values that was infallible. If she lacked anything that one had a right to expect it was, strangely enough for her race, a sense of humour, and one shrewdly suspected that she had deliberately suppressed this quality as jeopardising the dignity of her position. It is certain that she required the Wentworths for their protection and love with a loyalty, devotion, and faith that imposed upon the two children an obligation of fulfilment almost as deep as that implicit in the relationship of child to parent. It will be readily seen that the Wentworths just deserved most ed a highly vulnerable front to the invasion of the Four Hundred planned by Mamba. Had the family been larger and wealthier she could not have gained the attention of the white folks and would probably have been given scant courtesy by the new-time Negroes in the kitchen. Here was a family born in the slaveholding tradition of amused and even affectionate tolerance toward the Negro once that Negro had detached himself from the mass and become identified as an individual. Here, too, in the person of Maum Netta was a gentle and highly competent instructor in the intricate technique that the aged tyro must acquire. True, she knew that the old servant would treat her with well-bred condescension, but, with the true spirit of the social climber, she was prepared to pocket her pride until it could be worn with dignity. The exact moment of attack was timed to a nicety, and slipped into its place with that appearance of casualness which is the result of infinitely calculated preparation. It was spring in Charleston, and almost overnight the sudden uprush of life from the soil had transformed the town. Wisteria dropped its purple stalactites from the trees and gate-posts, and the roses lifted in a foam of colour and perfume over the garden walls. Even the air had a soft velvet on it, like pollen on a petal. It was inconceivable that at such a time hearts could be hardened or harsh words spoken. The evening was one of unusual excitement in the little brick house. Saint was to escort his sister to her first soiree. Polly was slim and lovely in her white dress with its hand-worked border made after hours by Mrs. Wentworth. But there were no flowers for the debut. In all the city of bloom the little brick house was without a garden, its four massive walls crowding the little lot to the limit its accommodation. The child was breathless with longing. "Please, Mother, please; May, and Damaris, and the Hugers all have big gardens. It won't take a minute to run over to Legare street and ask for some roses. Saint will go. Won't you Saint?" But the mother said: "I am sorry, dear, you can't, you know. We are too poor to have our own, and that is the very reason why we cannot ask. Remember what Landor says. You have already paid the highest price for a thing when you have asked for it." "Yes, I know. Horrid, rich old thing. I bet he never wanted anything in his life that he couldn't run to a shop and buy." Saint put in: "Aw, they have millions and millions of them. It wouldn't be really giving, they wouldn't miss 'em." "I know, dears, but they will have to be offered. We cannot ask." Tears then—tragedy in that gay moment of departure; high-strung little nerves jumping from tears to laughter and back again. And a mist in Mrs. Wentworth's eyes, the obstinacy of an idealist in her firm mouth and lifted chin. And Saint: "Aw, come on. Don't get all messed up over a few flowers." Maum Netta opened the door from the kitchen into the dining room where desire and ethics were grappling. "Dere's uh 'oman outside wot says she want fuh see Missi. She ain't berry clean. Maybe Missie better come in de kitchen fuh see um." The three Wentworths adjourned to the immaculate little kitchen, and there they beheld an incongruous picture. Mamba stood just within the door, and as they entered she dropped a deep courtesy. She was a woman of medium height, frail almost to a point of emaciation. She was not a full-blooded African Negro, but her prominent nose and the coppery cast to her dark skin suggested a strain of American Indian rather than an admixture of white blood in her veins. Her face had reached the point at which it tells nothing of age. As it looked now with its multitudinous wrinkles, it would still look at her death. She smiled a little timidly and revealed a lonely yellow fang in the middle of her lower gum. Then she took a step forward into the full light of the kerosene lamp and looked into the face of the slender blonde girl. From the network of wrinkles the woman's eyes, large and ```markdown ``` Will The Jeweled Tortoise FadWinColoredAmerica? --- 1 2 3 4 5 ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION DAUG of a peculiar live brown brilliance, looked startlingly out, bright with the fire of indomitable youth.

Some of them have even had the baptism of air travel. Tortoise Lost on Airplane. There was a great excitement aused over the loss of a jewelled turtle on the airline between Paris and London. The owner of the tortoise came to Le Bourget with tears in her eyes to ask whether her pet, whose shell was set in pearls, had been found. He was finally discovered asleep in a corner. Many are carried under the arm as are hand-bags, others have a leather band around the shell and hang from the arms. Some end in soup but the smartest thing is to turn your pet into a tortoise shell brush when you get tired of her. Gone are the days when the white Pomeranian loulous were looked after as a most dearly loved child. Dogs are seen less and less, and when you see any in the Bois, they come by twos. That is the newest smart-set folly. If you keep dogs, they should be matched like our grandmothers used to match their carriage horses.

"Ah gots frien' who gardner on Legare Street, Miss. He gib me lot ob flower." Saint cut the Gordian knot: "Take the old flowers and let's go. We'll be late, anyhow, with all this talk." Then, seizing his sister by one arm as she caught the bouquet to her breast with the other, he rushed her to the door, and before Mrs. Wentworth could say anything more, their feet had pattered into silence down the street. The mother turned and looked at Mamba. There was a moment of silence, then the strange old woman gazed up into her face with her amazing girl's eyes, and smiled her wide single-toothed smile. Mrs. Wentworth threw back her head and laughed. "Where did you come from?" she asked. "Oh, not so fur. Ah been see Little Missie go by ebery day an' Ah jen can't wait no longer tuh put dem flower whar day b'longs." Mrs. Wentworth turned with her hand on the dining-room door knob, "I am sure it was very good of you," she said, "and now you must let Maum Netta give you some supper before you go away. It was so very odd, your coming just to-night." But was it odd, after all? Was it not rather one of those inevitable happenings that are so often mistaken for coincidences but are in reality the mathematical result of a premise originating in some remote but unswerving human purpose? There was that about the invisible comings and goings of Mamba, after that first night, which tended to confirm Mrs. Wentworth's grave misgivings. It suggested a proficiency that smacked of the professional, like a game of poker or billiards that is almost too expert for a gentleman. She would prowl about the kitchen door-yard as silent and as unswervingly watchful as a neighbourhood cat, and then, without having been seen in the house, she would leave the evidence of a visit there in some gift for Polly or service for a member of the family. On the morning following the soiree there were fresh roses, with dew still on the petals, heaped on the girl's breakfast plate. Mrs. Wentworth, who was a sharp observer, noticed that they had been torn from the wine. Gardeners on Legare Street were well trained and were provided with shears. Most certainly she must tell Maum Netta not to allow the women to return. She was not of the type to be encouraged. But after breakfast, when Mrs. Wentworth repaired to the kitchen, she encountered a new complication. Maum Netta was seated in unacustomed ease eating her breakfast and Mamba was just drying the last of the dishes. During the moment that Mrs. Wentworth stood unobserved in the doorway, she was an eavesdropper upon a masterpiece of diplomacy. Mamba was saying: "Tek yo' ease, Mistress Netta, tek yo' ease. Ah knows dishwashin' aint fuh de quality cullud folks. Attuh yo' done git up, an' comb yo' putty gray hair, an' cook dis fine breakfus, an' splain tuh yo' white folks what tuh do all day, yo' ought fuh tek yo' ease an' studdy 'bout yo' frien' Gawd, while some poor-folks 'nigger' like me clears up attuh you." Maum Netta, with great dignity, expressing itself in a heavy lugubriousness, but already making social concessions: "Well, it use' tuh be dat-a-way. Dey was always kitchen 'niggers' in de ole days. But tings is change' " The mistress could have bungled then. A single flat order could have done it. But instinctively she closed with a question, thereby throwing the burden on Maum Netta, and at once rebuking her and re-establishing her integrity. "I am really provoked, Mauma" (she had not gone as far as that in years); "I was just going to ask that woman to leave the premises, and I find you accepting favours of her. You know we have no money to pay a servant. Now, what am I to do?" "Ah sorry, Miss. Dat a hahd 'oman tuh say no tuh. See if yo' can find a ole dress or someting an' Ah'll gib-it tuh she an' sen' she away" There was silence in the kitchen and the tension of impending crisis when Mrs. Wentworth returned with some old clothing thrown over her arm. In a cool, positive tone of finality which dismissed a mutual future and expunged the past, she said: "Maum Netta will attend to those dishes." Thank you for helping us. Here are some old clothes." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION AUGHTER But she got no further. Mamba courtesed almost to the floor, with her rags trailing grotesquely about her. Then she raised a face that was radiant with gratitude. She started talking rapidly while she took the clothes, and her volatility Even Overnight Your skin will improve increased as she backed toward the door. Twice Mrs. Wentworth attempted to stem the tide, then gave it up. "Oh, t'ank yo', Miss. Ah's too t'ankful.

A. Rogers ERHAPS no character in history stands out in more interesting relief than Massinissa, f Numidia P Certainly none furnishes a more splendid example of daring, tenacity and consummate skill than he. Coming on the scene at a time when two great nations were struggling for the mastery of the world, he threw his weight on the losing side and it won. There was nothing extraordinary in that, it may be stated. But at the time, Massinissa was a fugitive—hunted and tracked by his enemies. He had less than six followers. A Great Love. And all for the love of a woman. No love story is more touching than that of Massinissa's. Let us glance at the leading figures in this mighty drama. They are: Hannibal, the Carthaginian, said to be the greatest military genius of all time, and himself an African. Scipio, foremost Roman general of his day, a man of calm judgment, cultured, ruled by his head. Syphax, king of Numidia, the king-pin of the situation. Both Rome and Carthage had done their best to win his favor. Scipio had used all his wiles, grace and tact on Syphax and at last had secured him as an ally. Most Beautiful Woman. Sophonisba, most beautiful woman of her time, the daughter of Hasdrubal, Carthaginian general, and niece of Hannibal. Massinissa, son of Gala, king of Massylia, a petty kingdom in southern Numidia. The Numidians were a people of mixed Berber and Ethiopian ancestry. The Berbers were a dark-skinned Asiatic race. Earlier in history the empire of Ethiopia extended over all that region. The Numidian cavalry was the great force of the Carthaginians. Commanded by Metinus, the mulatto, they nearly took Sicily from the Romans. Falls in Love. As a lad, Massinissa had come to Carthage to study. While there he fell in love with Sophonisba; and, Hasdrubal, taking a fancy to the comely and accomplished man, had consented to the match, "even though he was a Numidian." A giant in size and strength, none could equal Massinissa on horseback or with the sword. At the lyceum he excelled in Latin, Greek and military tactics. Gloried in War. At 17, inflamed by his love for Sophonisba and eager to do something to prove it, he induced his father to declare war against Rome, and gathering an army, Massinissa marched against Syphax and defeated him in two great battles This done, he went off to join the Carthaginian forces in Spain. At that time Carthage had the upper hand, and Hannibal was winning brilliant victories not far from the walls of Rome. 18-Year-Old Prodigy. Arriving in Spain, Massinissa, not yet 18, attacked Scipio, Rome's foremost leader, and defeated him. Another Roman general, Gneus, sent against him, met the same fate. With his black cavalry, Massinissa seemed invincible. But while this gallant young knight was endeavoring to prove to his lady that he was worthy of her, something else was happening in Carthage. The Carthaginians, anxious to win over Syphax, had offered him the prize he always coveted: the beautiful Sophonisba. Against her will, Sophonisba yielded. When Massinissa heard that his fiancee had been married to Syphax he hastened to the tent of Hasdrubal. The latter, hearing of the matter for the first time, was grieved at the injury done his brilliant young friend, but would take no steps to redress it. Forced to choose between his private feelings and what he felt was the public good, Hasdrubal decided for Syphax. That decision was to mean the doom of Carthage. The Carthaginians could not have taken a step more unlucky. They had not reckoned with Massinissa. Deserts Cartharinians Hot with anger, Massinissa quit the Carthaginian camp to return to his native land. Before leaving Spain, he stole into Scipio's camp and had a private talk with him. On the way back, Syphax sent men to capture Massinissa, but he escaped and finally arrived in Massylia. In the meantime, his father had died; and, welcomed by the people, he was made king. Now Syphax, eager for revenge, descended upon him, and defeated him in battle after battle. Dangerously wounded in the passage of a river, Massinissa was forced to hide with two companions in a cave. To cut off pursuit, he gave out that he was dead. But undiscouraged, he gathered another army and again he was beaten by Syphax. Neither in love nor war did he seem to have any success against this great rival. Once more he was a fugitive. Then one-day news came that Scipio had landed on the African coast with an army, and with great difficulty Massinissa made his way to him and offered to become his ally. With him were only five followers. But Massinissa, as will be seen, alone was equal to an army. Scipio, who had already felt the force of his genius, welcomed him. Marches with Seinie Rallying his people once more, he marched with Scipio to attack the allied Numidian and Carthaginian armies commanded by Hasdrubal and Syphax. Inferior in numbers, Scipio and Massinissa had to rely on strategy. They began by a pretense at wishing to make peace. Noting that the Numidian camp was built of reeds, the two set fire to it one night. The Numidians, not knowing that the fire had been set, came out to fight it, leaving their arms behind. On this the Romans fell on them with terrific slaughter. In the Carthaginian camp, the sentinels had seen the flames, and the soldiers there, awakened by the cries, made the same error and rushed toward the fire unarmed. As to the cries of the wounded and the dying, they thought these also were a result of the fire. Now the allies sealing into the Carthaginian camp "I love better to depend on a Numidian than a Roman. I prefer those born like I, under the skies of Africa. Let death take me rather than a Roman." ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION the Struggle between that Decided the M also set it on fire. Carthaginian Camp Destroyed Caught by the flames, men and beasts went into a panic and fell either into the fire or on the swords of the allies. Forty-five thousand of the enemy were killed and wounded; 17,000 Numidian horses were captured and six elephants, while Hasdrubal and Syphax, utterly routed, fled behind the walls of Carthage. Rallying, Hasdrubal and Syphax prepared for another battle. "The disaster," said the latter, "was caused by fire; not by battle. One is inferior only when beaten by arms." Syphax Routed Once more the four leaders met in battle. This time Massinissa arranged that he would be opposed to Syphax; and the former, made redoubtable by his first victory, swept his enemy before him. In vain Syphax pushed his horse towards Massinissa's army hoping to inspire his men. The rout was complete; and Massinissa, catching up with Syphax, cut down his horse and made him prisoner. The beaten army had taken refuge in Cirta, Syphax's capital, and Massinissa pushed on there. Was it the fugitives he sought? No; there was in Cirta a prize he deemed greater --- than all his victories—Sophonisba! Four years had passed since he had lost her—four long years of tortured waiting that had but served to increase his love. With Massinissa was the Roman general, Lelius. He decided that it would not do for Lelius to accompany him. Skillfully he used argument to make Lelius lag behind and he pushed ahead. Finde Sophonisba Arriving before the walls of the city, Massinissa displayed to the citizens their king loaded with chains. Quickly they surrendered, and Massinissa, in all the ardor of his one and twenty years, dashed through the gates. Once inside he spurred his horse to full speed, thru the city, past the palace gates, and up the steps. There Sophonisba in the full bloom of her marvellous beauty was awaiting him. Springing from his horse Massinissa went to meet he: feeling more than ever her prisoner. She also came to meet him and throwing herself at his feet began to plead with him not to give her over to the Romans. "The gods, thy courage, and thy fortune," she said, "hath given thee power over us, but if it is permitted to a captive to embrace the knees and touch the hand of a conqueror, I pray thee, oy the royal majesty with which we ourselves were dressed but yesterday, not to hand me over to the caprice of some cruel Roman. Dispose of me thyself." Overcome by Love But Massinissa, overcome by his love, was speechless while Sophonisba went on: "I love better to depend on a Numidian than a Roman. I prefer those born like I, under the skies of Africa. Let death take me rather than a Roman." Massinissa, lefting her to her feet, led her into the palace, and embracing her, assured her that he still loved her and would save her. But he had to think quickly. Sophonisba was in reality a Roman prize. Leltius was on the way with his soldiers, and not far behind him was Scipio. There was but one way. It was a bold and foolhardy way, but it seemed the only one. He would marry her at once. As Massinissa's wife, she could not be treated as a captive. Without an instant's delay he had the ceremony performed. When Lelius arrived and heard what had been done, he was so (Continued on page ten) MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by Du Bose Heyward Superior Products for Superior People mocking, then for a second in the closing door they caught the mood of the toothless smile and overflowed with laughter. Two days passed and a Sunday came. No sign of Mamba. Mrs Wentworth dismissed the whole episode as closed. The day was glorious with spring sunshine, and the air was throbbing to the music of St. Michael's chimes. Mamba rounded a corner a block away from the front door of the Wentworth residence, then stopped and lingered unobtrusively in a recessed gateway. She could not keep her feet still while the chimes were playing, and the shabby, broad toe that extended from beneath the hem of her recently acquired neat gray dress tapped gently on the pavement. She knew well the rotation of the tunes: "Shall We Gather at the River?" "There Is a Blessed Home," and the way the music dropped an octave on a high note where a bell was missing. George Washington Christopher Gadsden, the ancient bell ringer. was a crony of hers, and she smiled now at the thought of his favourite joke on the white people in the pews. Yes, there it was, slipped in between "There Is a Blessed Home" and "Onward, Christian Soldiers": "Sistuh Ca' line, Sistuh Ca' line, Can't yo' dance the peavine?" Two lines of the old song that the Negroes loved, then on into the next hymn without missing a beat. He'd be laughing now at his joke, up there by himself in the steepe. Suddenly the tune stopped and the bells commenced to toll. Three minutes now before service. Mamba peered from her retreat, and an expression of satisfaction overspread her features as the three Wentworths stepped from their front door and proceeded decorously toward the calling bells. In the Wentworth kitchen Maum Netta was washing her dishes and singing a spiritual in her high, slightly cracked soprano. She reached for a high note and held it with evident pride. Then through the open window there entered a melodious contraitto note that met it and rang with it in resonant chord. Maum Netta's eyes widened with pleasure while she held her note to the limit of her lung capacity. Then she crossed to the window and looked out. Mamba was seated immediately below her on the doorstep, and she met the older woman's gaze with an expression of awe. "My Gawd, Mauma," she half whispered, "how come nobody ain't nebber tell me you kin sing like dat?" "Cose Ah kin sing." Then slowly the necessity of being firm with this person began to triumph over flattered vanity. "But dat's neider here nor dere.

JACKSON lives in Richmond, Virginia, and has direct supervision of the nurses in Saint Philip Hospital. This means that she has charge of the discipline, control, and cultural training of the nurses. It is a responsible position, and Mrs. Jackson's writing shows that she has the cool judgment to fill it successfully. She is not easily excited, instead she has the natural poise to meet emergencies. She is enthusiastic about anything that really interests her, but she is practical in her ambitions. There is much skill in the use of her hands expressed here, indicating that while she holds a position where she supervises nurses, she is also Will Negroes Rule Manhattan in 1940? Manhattan in 1796, and the renowned Abysinnia Baptist Church was founded in 1803, serving as the fountain head of the faith among Negroes in the United States. At the time the Federal Constitution was adopted in 1791, all free Negroes in the State could vote. Negroes have always played an important part in the history of Manhattan Island. They fought valiantly during the Revolutionary War and distinguished themselves with Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie. Negroes Deserve to Rule Thousands of them went South and died to make their brethren free during the Civil War, and to teach them after Emancipation. Many went with the U.S. Army during the war with Spain in 1898. During the World War, the 15th New York Infantry, composed largely of Negroes from Manhattan Island, stayed on the firing line longer than any other American regiment in France, won the greatest number of decorations and citations, lost over half of its strength making the world safe for democracy and was the first American regiment to cross the Rhine into German territory after the Armistice. George Washington Supped at Negro Tavern It is interesting to note that in 1847 the Negroes on the Island had $839,000 invested in business and $1,160,000 in real estate. Today, eighty years later, the value of their holdings exceed $50,000,000. There have been many Negroes of wealth ever since Colonial times. From 1780 onwards there were many famous caterers among the Negroes on the island, serving the finest families there. The most noted among them were Cornelia Gomez, "Aunt" Katie Ferguson, Peter Van Dyke, Boston Crummel (father of Bishop Alexander Crummel), Thomas Downing and David Roselle.

She would be unusually successful in bandaging patients, in making them comfortable, because she has talent for doing just such things skillfully. This writing shows stick-to-it-tiveness, a very great deal of determination, and exactness about details. The nurse who is trained under the supervision of Mrs. Jackson will learn to be orderly. She will have a place for everything, and everything in place. Such a nature as this quite naturally leads to a position such as Mrs. Jackson holds. She is using her natural talents to the best advantage, just as you can use your own. You may not be suited for nursing; instead it may be you have talent for the stage, or the movies, or for writing books, or going into business. Of one thing though, you can be sure: You have a natural talent that if given proper use will give you happiness and success. You may have a personal report made of your handwriting if you will write a page, using pen and ink. Sign your name, send letter to Dr. M. N. Bunker, in care of this newspaper, with a stamped and self addressed envelope for reply. Be sure to enclose the stamped envelope, for letters without this will be discarded. During a great fire in New York in the early days of the 19th century, Thomas Downing saved the city from complete destruction by contributing his whole supply of vinegar to melt the ice in the wells and reservoirs, from which the water supply was obtained. When George Washington passed through Manhattan to take command of the Continental Army at Cambridge, Mass., and again when he was en route to his home after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, he stopped at Fraunce's Tavern at the lower end of Manhattan, then operated by a Negro citizen. The old place still stands restored at 54 Pearl street, in the heart of the lower financial district. It was also in Manhattan that the first Negro newspaper in the United States, Freedom's Journal, was founded by John W. Russwurm, first Negro college graduate in the United States (Bowdoin College), in 1827. Negro Political Power So, no group has better right than the Negroes to rule Manhattan Island, and certainly the possibility of them doing so is not very remote. GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEAD AGE GASES-NAUSEA What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this narmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much Stem one pound green gooseberries, remove the blossom end, and wash fruit in cold water.

An orange is something more than a tasty bite, or a round article to plug a hole in the Christmas stocking. In fact, careful analysis shows that the average orange possesses one hundred calories of food value. Two of these are fat, seven protein and the remaining ninety-one carbohydrates. As for minerals, the orange contains calcium, phosphorus and iron. The health-giving vitamins are not absent, for vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C are all there. Those who have adopted the morning orange juice habit and the fruit cup and fruit salad habit, therefore, have done much to furnish the body with the ingredients it needs. CERTAINLY TRUE A timid man cannot hide behind his wife's skirt these days. In fact, neither can the wife. EATING FOR EFFICIENCY Eat the proper foods slowly and carefully and you will avoid many ills that mankind is heir to, for the man who said that more people died from over-eating than from starvation was absolutely correct. This does not mean that you must be a faddist and immediately drop meat, fish, eggs and bread from your diet. They are acid-producing foods, but they are healthful foods and should be continued. Reduce the portions, however, and substitute large quantities of green vegetables, milk and fresh fruit—practically all of which will be found listed among the "alkalines." Even oranges and lemons, so often thought of as acid, are decidedly alkaline in their ultimate reaction, and are now given freely as preventives or cures for acidosis. Eat your breakfast orange, drink lemonade, eat plenty of salads and fruit cups, drink milk, and get up from the table before you feel overloaded. Do these things and you will soon begin to feel the benefit of sane dieting. They vote now and are becoming more and more of a political power, what with representation already in the city council and the State's Assembly. With the continued restriction of European immigration, Negroes are continuing to flock to Manhattan because it is the most liberal and tolerant spot for colored folk in all America under the Stars and Stripes. If the whites continue to move out as they have been doing, there will soon be no one to contest the political supremacy of the Negroes. Black folk will never be sufficiently powerful numerically to control Greater New York, but on Manhattan Island, the wealthiest, most up-to-date, most picturesque and most stimulating part of the world's greatest city, Negroes are very likely to rule in the next ten years. acid, and the symptoms disappear at once.

There can never be a satisfactory substitute for either one. Bayer Aspirin is genuine. It is the accepted antidote for pain.

The present trend is away from this district, toward the center of the Manhattan business district. Careful Analysis of the Recent Changes and Tendencies in the Manhattan Population Indicates That Black Folk May Control the World's Richest Metropolis. Will colored people control Manhattan Island within the lifetime of men now in middle age? Will this most noted borough of New York City find itself overwhelmingly populated by Negroes and politically controlled by them? Will capable black politicians of 1940 administer the affairs of this famous island? In point of wealth and population, New York is the greatest State in the United States, though only 30th in size. New York City, at its southern extremity, has the greatest population and wealth of any city in the entire world. Most of the wealth of New York state is concentrated in New York City, from which comes at least one-fourth of all the national revenue. This city alone is twice as rich as Australia and four times as rich as South Africa or Hungary, and the richest section of New York City is Manhattan Island, a borough of the metropolis, 16 miles long, about a mile or so in width and 21. 93 square miles in area. Here modern civilization has reached its greatest height in wealth, culture, refinement, art, architecture commerce and knowledge. Here are buildings by the score that shoot hundreds of feet into the air; railroads that run for miles under the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION By DANTON SMITH ground; tubes that hurl mail underground with the speed of an airplane, and a thousand other wonders of modern civilization. Will Negroes one day rule this Borough? It seems incredible at first thought, but upon examination it is readily seen to be a serious possibility. Negro Population Increasing In 1920 the total population of Manhattan Island was 2,284,103 with 109,133 Negroes. In 1925 the State census showed little more than a total of 1,800,000 and today, in 1929, there are liberally estimated to be over 200,000 Negroes in the borough. To this number it is also necessary to add thousands of Spanish-speaking Porto Ricans, Cubans and others who, while not generally considered when Negroes are being discussed, are nevertheless certainly not white people in the American meaning of the word. In brief, the general population of the island is decreasing while the colored population is increasing about one-fourth as rapidly. If this trend continues we can expect to see the Negroes numerically dominant in the borough. When that time arrives the result will certainly be the election of a Negro Borough President, aldermen and the bulk of the officials being Negroes, either elected or appointed by the power of Negro votes. Business Structures Replace Homes Is this a wild dream? The facts do not indicate such. Manhattan Island is rapidly filling up with huge skyscrapers devoted to business enterprises of all kinds. More and more they are encroaching on the residential areas of the borough. Whereas most office buildings were not a few years ago below 34th street, they have now filled a large part of the area between that thoroughfare and 59th street (Central Park). Quite naturally the value of residential property has increased. This has been followed by increased taxation, which has raised the rents so high that persons of moderate means have had to get out. Manhattan Lost Over Half Million People By this method Manhattan has lost over a half million people in the nine years since 1920. Where once there were great colonies of Jews, Irish, Italians and Germans, there are now business structures, where no one lives except an occasional janitor's family. Every day old tenements are being torn down to make way for more skyscrapers, widened streets, tunnel entrances and bridgeheads. Also with the tremendous growth of the business area has come scores of new hotels to accommodate the 100,000 THE FLATIRON The Flatiron building in the downtown section in New York. This is in the center of the district into which Negroes are gradually pushing their way. If the present trend of population continues, by 1940 Negroes should have complete political control of the Manhattan financial district. visitors who enter Manhattan daily, and dozens of palatial skyscraper apartment houses for the seasonal occupancy of the ultra-rich, who have very small families as a rule. Then, too, at least a score of new theatres have been erected in the borough in the past decade, thus displacing twice as many residences. Negro population pushes on north the whites vacate house after house, block after block. Negroes to Control Northern End of Manhattan If this trend continues the next ten years will find the Negro massed in the northern end of Manhattan and almost eliminating the white population, while the southern half Whites Abandoning Island The hundreds of thousands of whites, who are being forced off Manhattan Island, do not leave New York City. After all, there is plenty of room there. While Manhattan Borough has only an area of 21.93 square miles, the boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond have respective areas of 41.7, 77.6, 129.5 and 55.2 square miles. A million people live in the Bronx, the same number in Queens, over two million in Brooklyn, and over a quarter million in Richmond (Staten Island). So there is plenty of room in New York City for those forced out of Manhattan by the onrush of business. This explains why the population of Manhattan Borough is decreasing, while that of the entire city of New York is increasing. Negroes Pushing Whites From Manhattan There is another reason for the flight of large numbers of whites from Manhattan: The Negroes. Since the Great War the migration of black folk to New York City has been very steady. Invariably they have made their homes on Manhattan Island, and wherever they have moved the whites have either been forced to move or have left gladly of their own volition. The retreating whites have either moved north into the Bronx or into Queens, Brooklyn and Richmond. As the October 531929 own section in New York. This is in Negroes are gradually pushing their nation continues, by 1940 Negroes should be Manhattan financial district. Negro population pushes on north the whites vacate house after house, block after block. Negroes to Control Northern If this trend continues the next ten years will find the Negro massed in the northern end of Manhattan and almost eliminating the white population, while the southern half of the Island will be completely occupied by office buildings, theaters, hotels, factories and palatial dwellings of the ultra-rich. To indicate how the Negro population has spread in the last ten years, it is only necessary to point out that in one section of the island (Harlem) they were restricted to an area bounded on the south by 131st street, on the north by 142nd street; Madison avenue on the east and Seventh avenue on the west. Whites Moving Into Harlem Today Negroes in Manhattan are living as far north as 155th street, as far south as 110th street; east to Lexington avenue and west to Convent avenue. Meantime the Negro population continues to rapidly increase. Though the bulk of the colored people live in Harlem, there are also thousand, living in all of the other boroughs, but there the whites are rapidly increasing in numbers and there is not the faintest chance of Negroes ever controlling any of them politically. Negro Population Expanding In the last hundred years the Negro population in Manhattan Island has crept steadily northward from Greenwich Village, where their first settlement was located. In successive periods it has centered around Bleeker street, and 18th, 34th, 42nd, 53rd, 59th, 62nd, 98th streets on the west side of the island, until finally in the early years of ```markdown ``` MANHATTAN IN 1940? This illustration gives a panoramic view of Manhattan Island. It shows the district that would be under complete Negro rule if the present tendencies in population continue.

October 5, 1929 This illustration gives a the century it jumped up to Harlem, where it will probably be centered for some years. On the east side there is a large settlement around 99th street and smaller ones above 110th street. Undoubtedly a large number of Negroes would have gone to other boroughs just as the whites did had they been welcomed and been able to find accommodations. So, while a few thousands have forced their way into Bronx, Queens and Richmond, the bulk live in Manhattan, with THE LIFE T They were very fond of him and all grieved when they found that in spite of his great acting his health was falling and that he played under great difficulty. about 40,000 across the harbor in the Borough of Brooklyn. In the meantime, the white population of the island is dwindling. If it decreased by nearly a half million in the five years from 1920 to 1925, how many will be left on the island by 1940? Certainly not many, if the present trend continues. Today the total population of Manhattan Borough must be close to 1,600,000, with the Negroes numbering 200,000, constituting one-eighth of the total. Negroes to Rule by 1940 By 1935, at this rate, the total population of the Island will be much less than a million. If the number of Negroes resident there has grown to 500,000 by that year, colored people will control Manhattan politically, and by 1940 their supremacy will be beyond question. Then only rich whites, few in number, will be able to reside south of 110th street, while the colored folk will be massed north of that thoroughfare. Text by BEN DAVIS, JR. Drawn by A. W. RENNEGARBE TELL THEM I'M ALL RIGHT! DO YOU WISH TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT TO THE NEWSPAPER REPORTERS MR. WILLIAMS? A.W. RENNEGARDE. All day, every day, during the time of his last show in Chicago, he stayed in bed and gave orders to be reported "all right," despite the fact that he was very ill and needed constant attention. Thus it is certainly not far fetched that Manhattan will be governed by a Negro borough president, represented by Negro aldermen largely, policed by black patrolmen and protected by black firemen and watchmen. Free Negroes in 1791 Are Negroes deserving of such a trust? It would seem so. There were free Negroes on Manhattan Island in 1643. While slavery was inaugurated in 1650, their introduction was prohibited in 1782. gradual emancipation began in 1799, and all of the enslaved Negroes were freed by 1827. The number of slaves began to decrease after two slave insurrections in colonial days: one in 1712 and the other in 1741, both ruthlessly suppressed with hangings and burnings of the culprits.

He knew that Massinissa had taken his wife, and he would rather see her dead. When Scipio fepeeeted Syphax, recalling his past fortunes, and wish- ing to know why he had rejected the Roman ‘alliance and fought against his former friends, Syphax replied: “Yes, I have committed a great fault, an act of folly for which I am now extremely sorry. But the moment I took arms against the Romans was the end, not the begiri- ning of my folly. ae Syphax Pleads » “My ruin began when I fell in love ‘with Sophonisba. No man can with- stand her and she is passionately de- voted to her country, and though I was your friend, her charms made me the friend of her country.

He has. bee no wiser than I. His youth will make him feebler yet. Has he not in mar- rying her shown a blinder passion @nd folly than myself?” / Scipio who had been inclined to think favorably of the matter now saw the thing in a different light. Why, indeed, this sudden marriage in the midst of arms even without consulting Lelfus? Why this eager- ness to marry a captive? Surely it was an act of folly, as Syphax had said. Sending for Massinissa, he spoke to him as a brother: “I believe, Massinissa, that you have seen in me several qualities, ou, who first came to seek my Picndabip in Spain and again in ‘ica, you, whe have confided to me all your faith and hopes.

She was before her own door now, and grim forebodings were upon her. She excused her- self hurriedly and entered. A mo- ment later she stood surveying a scene that, while it tempted her to laughter, told her In no uncertain terms that she was in that moment witnessing her own defeat., Maum Netta sat just inside of the room with her turbaned head nod- ding back and forth to the measure of the spiritual. The door stood wide open, and upon the step sat Mamba swaying and patting witn her large, flat feet and throwing her whole being into the music. But the visitor had not been idle,-and therein lay her triumph. Before her on the marble step, fairly. sparkling in the sun, were ranged all of the shoes possessed by the family. The last one, a dancing pump of Saint’s, was just = given a final polish. Mrs. Wentworth was - obliged to speak a second time before she could make her presence known. “Maum Netta, have you gone rav- ing crazy?” Instant silence in the kitchen, and ‘he slow gathering together of aculties in the two before her, ke people waking from a daze "hat was the use? Mrs. Wentworth >-entered the. dining room, closing he door behind her, and gave her- celf over to impotent laughter. With the suecess of the shoe- shining episode, Mamba attained her first definite objective. As a matter of fact, Mrs. Wentworth was Ee destined for failure in such a situa- tion by reason of her virtues rather than her weaknesses, and where such is the case, a cause is indeed hopes less. Mamba, born of a race that owed its very existence to its under- standing of the ruling white, knew just how vulnerable those virtues were, and so she had only to direct her attack against them and bide her time, Her position was now fairly secure. She had only to keep a favour ahead of her victim, leay- ing. upon her the burden of an un- repaid obligation. The Wentworths had no money wherewith to com- pensate her, so in lieu thereof, she must be given food in the kitchen gnd_ the outworn and easily recog- isable garments of her new mis- ress. To the neighbourhood, and ven in her own eyes, this soon gave her the superficial colouration of a retainer of the aristocracy. Present- ly.. when she was ‘safely out of ear- shot of Maum Netta, she commenced to refer to the Wentworth household as “my white folks.” Mamba had: no regular bours for her comings and goings, but she had a way of materialising dramatically in Awe of emergency, and she ighted -im certain conspicuous services of a social nature.

(Continued from page ten) Marauders, the Numidians became one of the most civilized and cultured people of the day, and Cirta became a centre of learning. Massinissa had a powerful army, a rich treasury, a fleet, and from time to time he sent aid to Rome. Maintains His Brilliance Massinissa was now eighty-eight but he had not forgotten his oath to be revenged on Carthage for the loss of Sophonisba. At last he caused Carthage to declare war on him, and at the head of his cavalry rode to meet the enemy. Two of his generals deserted him, but in spite of the years, his brain had not lost its cunning. Meeting with the enemy, he pretended to flee and drew it on until he had reached a great barren plain surrounded by mountains, and deficient of all means of subsistence. Then he made a stand occupying the plain while the Carthaginians seized the heights, thinking they had the more advantageous position. "Day came," says Appian, "and Massinissa, eighty-eight years old but still a strong and vigorous soldier, was mounted on horseback without saddle or other covering as is the custom of the country; equally acting in the capacity of general and soldier, for the Numidians are the lusiest of all the people of Africa." Carthage Trapped The Carthaginians, as was said, had thought that in occupying the hills, they had the superior position. But soon they saw their error, for Massinissa, surrounding them, besieged them. Finally, after eating their horses and even the leather of their saddles, the Carthaginians surrendered after promising to pay a heavy annual tribute. But Massinissa's victory was to have another effect. The Romans, seizing on the pretext that Carthage had declared war on an ally, descended on the weakened republic and destroyed it utterly. Sophonisba Avenged Thus was Sophonisba avenged, but Massinissa did not live to see it. He had died a few days earlier, aged nearly ninety. Livy, Polybius, Appian, Justin and all the historians of the period speak in highest terms of him. Polybius says: "Massinissa was the greatest and the happiest sovereign of our epoch. He reigned more than sixty years in perfect health and died at the age of ninety. Marvellous Physical Specimen "Physically he was the strongest and the most robust man of the time. Were it necessary to stand, he could keep on his feet for days at a time; as to remaining on horseback, he could do it for days and nights at a stretch. "Thanks to the harmony that reigned in his family, his kingdom was never troubled by intrigue or domestice strife. But this was his greatest merit, his most admirable work: before him, Numidia was wild, uncultivated, and alien to all culture. He was the first to show that it could produce all kinds of fruit like any other country. He has, therefore, more title and rights than anyone that his memory should be honored. A short time before his death he inflicted a great defeat on the Carthaginians. The day after the battle he was to be seen before his tent eating whole wheat bread." Changed History But for Massinissa, the history of the world as now written would have been different. One fact is certain: the fall of the Carthaginian republic, which had been a force for seven hundred years, took world supremacy from Africa and gave it to Europe." Memory Honored by D'Annunzio Interest in Massinissa has been revived in recent years by a love story that has been written around him by D'Annunzio, Italy's foremost writer. This story has been filmed and has been shown in the United States where this writer has seen it It is the custom in the films these days to depict great personages who, from the earliest times have been known as Ethiopians or blacks, as white persons. For instance, there are the Queen of Sheba, Simon of Cyrene, and Balthasar, one of the three Wise Men. In almost every European art gallery, Balthasar is represented as a Negro. In the Italian film, however, Massinissa has been depicted as the Negro that he was. Massinissa left a nephew, Jugurtha, who was hardly less famous than he. FIRE APPLES your next pleine.

Maum Netta placed him socially with the tribute: "Me an' you, Cook, we talks cullud folks' talk. Miss Wentwort', she talk white folks' talk, but de Jedge, now—he ain't speak nutting but de grammar." But the judge was too closely allied with the law for Mamba to admit his superiority. She had a way of sucking her tooth with a loud, derisive sound, and she-employed this method of expressing her disdain to the kitchen whenever he was discussed. Once she contributed her comment, and with it stripped him to the fundamental weakness of the male. "Yas, Ah seen um once, a-settin' on he bench wid he long black robe on, sendin' 'nigger' tuh jail, like he been Gawd. But don' yuh fergit, onnerneat' dat black wrapper he gots on two-leg pants same like Cook dere." Now the cook had acquired a reputation among the Negresses of the neighbourhood, and the connotation freighted her remark with outrageous implication. The cook beamed with unctuous satisfaction. Maum Netta pretended at first not to understand, then frowned her disapproval. Mamba, enjoying her own audacity immensely, closed her eyes to narrow slits; and sat there looking darkly mysterious. This particular August morning was in the midst of one of the hottest spells of the season. From the Wentworth cottage the waves could be seen crawling far up the beach and dissolving into low, monotonous breakers, as though reluctant to release their cooling spray into the close atmosphere. The judge had risen early and gone in for his morning dip. Several guests sat listlessly on the plaza, waiting for breakfast with pre-coffee indifference to life so common in the American home. Mamba was cleaning a pan of fish in the kitchen when her keen ears caught sudden exclamations of interest from the front of the house. She dropped her pan, and, trailing a suggestion of whiting behind her, ran to the piazza and gazed over the heads of the guests who were gathered at the piazza rail, their coffee for the moment forgotten. In the shallow surf, not a hundred yards away, a most amazing sight presented itself. The judge was on all fours, roaming back and forth over a section of beach that might have measured twenty-five feet square. The agitated movements of the body, the turning at a given point as though stopped by steel bars, inevitably suggested the caged animal. "Why, he's gone crazy," one of the women shrilled. Suddenly the strange performance ceased. The judge got to his feet and started toward the house. As he passed the piazza on his way to the rear entrance, it seemed to the onlookers that his dignity had fallen from him. His figure in its wet bathing suit gave the effect of shrinking away. One hand was held over his face but was unable to conceal the blight of senility that seemed to have settled upon it. In a final blundering rush he gained his room and closed the door behind him. A babblement of speculation and comment burst forth but was immediately met by Mrs. Wentworth's instinctive generalship. "The judge seems a little upset," she remarked quietly. "I am sure he will appreciate silence in which to collect himself. Saint, you must go at once and see what you can do for him." It is unlikely that the shy, self-conscious boy ever experienced a more cruel moment. But there was actual physical propulsion in Mrs. Wentworth's voice that morning, and DARK SKINS Brightened! You can now have the exact shade of lovely light complexion you want. Queen Skin Whitener Ointment will make dark sallow, muddy skins into lovely, clear, smooth, lightness. If you do not want your skin to be very light, use only once in a while. If you are not light enough, use more often. When you find your skin the shade you want, just remember how much you used.

Write for terms. it seemed visibly to lift the reluctant lad to his feet and thrust him through the dreaded portal. The guests waited eagerly for Saint's return, but when he came they were doomed to disappointment, for he went straight to the kitchen door and summoned Mamba. When he had conducted her out into the middle of the road, safely out of earshot of the house, he said: "What do you think?—the old boy's lost his teeth." The woman bent double in the silent folding contortion that served her for laughter. The boy continued: "And, as he never wears his glasses in, of course he could not find them. I thought of you right away and told him you'd go down and look for them. That cheered him up a lot, Says he'll give you five dollars if you find them before the next car to town." Mamba was very serious now. You ain't forget yo' frien', does yo', Mistuh Saint? Ah'll git right down." The morning advanced and the heat became intense. There was no breeze from the sea and the sun was a white dazzle on the broad, flat beach. It would be noon before the judge could get his car to the city, and up to the last moment Mamba could be seen engaged upon her search. Then, almost in the moment of the judge's departure, drama developed at the little station. The unfortunate man left the cottage and hurried toward the tracks with a furtive air. Mamba approached from the beach and was joined at the house by Saint. Mamba raised her eyes, and for a moment the boy was puzzled by what he saw there. He got the odd impression that some conflict was taking place behind them, some working of the brain that the old woman wanted to keep to herself. This was not like his friend. She told him things, just as he did her. A question was on his lips. Then suddenly she looked down, and her old body seemed to wilt. Her face quivered slightly and she mopped the moisture from her brow with a corner of her apron. "No, Ah ain't fin' um," she muttered, "an', Gawd, Ah's hot an' wore out." The hand that held the apron corner trembled. "Well, he's got to give you something, anyway," the boy asserted with a new note of authority. "Come along quick." The cars were pulling in when they reached the station. They had no time to lose. Saint touched Judge Harkness on his sleeve, and a face was turned toward him that would have been mirth-provoking had it not been for its pitiful defencelessness. The authority in the boy's voice was going, and he spoke hurriedly on the last of its ebb: "This old woman has been searching the beach all morning. She did not find—anything. But she's awfully hot and Coral-Rose a new and fascinating shade now offered in Nadine Face Powder-is specially blended to create rich light-toned beauty.

The man fumbled in his pocket and drew out a two-dollar bill which he handed to Mamba. "All aboard!" shouted the conductor. Judge Harkness climbed the steps. The wheels commenced to grind on the sandy tracks. Saint felt his body thrust sharply aside, and a figure leaped past him and on to the platform of the Jim Crow car. Wheels were humming now, and windows sliding past in a blur of glass and faces. Then suddenly Mamba's face and an arm waving to him from a real window. Dumfounded, he looked into the wide, laughing eyes. Then Mamba smiled that broad unforgettable, single-toothed smile of hers, that was unlike anyone else's that Saint had ever known. A sudden premonition smote the lonely boy and etched the strange picture indelibly into his memory. It was well hat he caught it then, for it was more than twenty years before he saw it again on Mamba's face. Under the pelting heat of the August sun two passengers left the ferry the moment that it landed in the city, and, taking opposite sides of the street, set off briskly toward the retail section. One of them was Judge Harkness; the other, Lamba. Taking the least frequented streets, they cut across the city, the man furtive and ill at ease, the woman smiling the secret smile of a Mona Lisa, while the sun hurled its vertical rays down upon her unprotected head. When they arrived at King Street, with its shop windows and hanging signs, their ways parted. The judge crossed the thoroughfare, hesitated for a moment before an unobtrusive brass plate marked DENTIST, then plunged through a door into welcoming gloom. Mamba continued on her way until she came to a glass case, fastened against the front of a building, that had often engaged her fascinated regard. In it were a number of examples of dental art, and its centre a complete set of teeth operated by a mechanism that kept them chewing with a slow, hypnotising rhythm upon an imaginary cud. Mamba knew this place by reputation. It was here that her wealthy friends came for their gold teeth. She entered and climbed a flight of stairs to the office. Through an open door she saw a young man in a dirty white coat sitting in a dentist's chair, reading a newspaper. She smiled, and the young man raised his eyes, then threw away his paper and stepped eagerly forward. "Can I do anything for you, Auntie?" he asked superfluously. In portentou; silence Mamba holisted her apron up and untied a large knot in one corner. Then she exhibited to the astonished gaze of the dentist a dollar bill, eighty-five cents in change, and a formidable set of teeth, which, upon examination, revealed the fact that their interstices were filled with sand. "What do you want me to do with these?" he asked. "Fit 'em tuh me." "Were they made for you?" "Not zactly, but most." The man handed them back. "Sorry, but you have to get them made especially for you. Now, for forty dollars——" Mamba laid her hand on his arm. Why do you hopelessly endure rheumatic pain? You can get relief—quickly, safely.

She had his hand now, and was fumbling with his fingers, keeping her eyes on his all the time. She pressed the money into his hand that still held the teeth, then closed it tightly between both of hers. The man tried to protest, but Mamba, still holding his hand closed so that he could not return her possessions, plunged into her plea. "Here's yo' an' me an' dem teet' an, one doluh an' eighty-five cent all right here togeded five. It done tek me ober six yeah tuh arrange um. If we ebber get separate' now, Gawd know ef it eber happen again. We gots tuh fix 'em somehow, Boss. We jus' gots tuh!" "But, Auntie, it's like I told you." "No, yo' mus' lissen tuh me fust.

Now yo' go long an' fit me tuh dese an' Ah'll bring 'em all tuh dis shop. Yo' see ef Ah don't." The dentist laughed. He could not help it. He was entirely unconvinced as to the existence of that family. Thin!—did she think he'd be taken in by that sort of stuff? He stood looking down at her, and his laughter stopped. Now he felt something about the comic old figure that was not comic at all. A force was being exerted against him that he could not define but that somehow stirred his rudimentary imagination. He commenced to feel that there was something big here, too big for the pitiful subterfuge that it had employ- (Continued on page fifteen) BOSTON CREAM PIE WITH ORANGE FILLING ¼ cup butter ½ cups sugar 2 eggs 1 cup milk 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt Cream butter and sugar; add eps and beat until light and fluffy.
