faithful servant had kept the place open
and in order while she was gone, and it
seemed as fresh and bright when she
got back as though she had never been
away. Rush noticed the delicate odor
of violets that hung about everything
that belonged to Helen, and is brought
her rs wildly before his eyes as if she
stood there in all her loneliness. He had
not long to wait before she did stand be-
fore him in her bodily presence. She
came towards. him with both hands ex-
| tended.
You must excuse my neglige, Mr.
Hurlstone, but / didn't want to keep you
waiting, and-I wanted to see you.
Aunt Rebecca will be down in a few mo-
ments, butshe is so busy with trunks that
she can't come at once. Sit right down
here on this sofa and tell me how you are
and how you've been"
81 needn't ask you how you are, said
Rush, at last finding voice to speak.
Seating himself beside her, he regarded
her with undisguisedf admiration. He
might well think her lovely; less preju-
diced eyes would have agreed with him
thoroughly. She had been helping Aunt
Rebecca with the trunks, and had donned
loose morning gown of soft white stuff,
trimmed down the front and around the
neck and sleeves with dark fur. The red
upturned point of a gold embroidered
Turkish slipper peeped out from beneath
her gown and gave the only bit of color
to her costume. Her brown hair was
done up in a careless classic knot on the
top of her head, and she looked as though
she had Just stepped out of q frame and
it would take very little to make her step
back again.
Nothing could be kinder than her
manner to Rush. Her object seemed to
be to make him forget himself and his
troubles, and she talked about every
thing of interest she had seen. Rush
followed her vaguely, for he could not
shake off the load uron his heart. The
more she talked and the more beautiful
she looked. the worse he felt. Among
other things, she asked him if he had
seen anything of Uncle Lightfoot Myers
while she was away. He replied that he
had not seen him, but that Mr. Myers
had left his card at his lodgings.
Il wonder if he is in town now. When
was it that he left his card?'
Rush ran over in his mind all that aw-
full time He remembered his feelings
when he found the old gentleman's card,
and the recollection was more than he
could bear.

aged to say. Il had just got back from
home" And. with this memory fresh in
his mind, he buried his face in his hands.
His frame shook with suppressed sobs
and the hot tears forced their way
through his fingers.
If you are inclined to call this an I'M
manly exhibition, you must remember
that his nerves were strung up to high
pitch, that he had gone through a great
deal during the past few days, and was
not master of himself. Helen regarded
him with feelings of the most profound
pity. "Poor boyt" she said, softly. And
taking his hot head between her cool,
soft palms, she kissed him gently on the
forehead

con Just, too, as he was winning for
himself conspicuous and important
place in the metropolis, and (bitterer
than alb just as he was trying to make
every straw weigh in his favor with
Helen Knowton. 1t was cruel blow,
and it took all his manhood to rise up
under it. His associates at the Office Of
The Dawn showed the best side of their
natures. They were kind and consider
ate all through this trying time. Al
though the story of the fraudulent mining
company and the suicide and its attend
ing incidents were the sensation of the
hour, they printed as little of it as posi-
bic, and kept Rush's name out altogether.
he had no sooner returned to New
York and settled down to work again
than Archie Tillinghast called upon him
and by his gentle and manly sympathy
sealed their friendship with seal that
nothing could ever break. He also
brought kind words from Bessie
Archer and her mother and an in
vitation from Nr. Archer to spend
the following Sunday with them. Rush
was sincerely touched by these ex-
pressions of sympathy, for he almost
felt himself ostracized by the disgrace
that had befallen him; and the finding

lodgings one day did more towards con-

a short letter from Aunt Rebecca, who
of course had heard nothing of the
tragedy that had cast so deep a shadow
over the life of her young friend, an
nounced that she and Helen would sail
from Liverpool on the LIST of September,
SO that they were nearly due in New
York at the time Rush received the letter.

Whatever success have had, or am

So they said good-by, and in a short
time Rush was on board the steamer
bound for Liverpool Archie Tillinghast
came down to see him off, and brought
4 pleasant message from the Archers-
Bessie and all. They congratulated him
on his foreign appointment, and hoped
that IL was lint tho steDDinor ctopa 70 hot

from New York. He was a good sailor,
and enjoyed every hour of the voyage.
There were not many people going over,
but those who were proved to be agree

good deal of his time in writing letters
to Helen that he never intended to send,
and in sealing them with the orbidden
seal. The amount of comforth extracted
from this imaginary correspondence was
really astonishing.

to state that the cowhide business
was not tolerated for a moment
after they became aware of its
existence, but if the statements
of the parents Of the children be
true, it would certainly seem a
question of serious import as to
whether such a teacher should be
tolerated in the school rooms of
Kansas. Children violating school
rules should be corrected and
punised in accordance with rea-
son, wisdom and justice, but
no distinction, on account of race
or color in the administration of
such punishment should not for a
moment be tolerated; and we do
not hesitate to say that a teacher
who would SO discriminate is a
disgrace to the profession, and
should be summarily dismissed.

CIVIL RIGTHS CASE.

We have been watching the
progress Of the school question
at Ft. Scott with much interest.
It is a case which the colored
people Of Ft. Scott brought
against the school board, for re-
fusing to admit their children, on
account Of color. The cause was
tried in the district courts Of Fl.
Scott, and the school board gained
the cause. An appeal was tken
to the Supreme court, where it
came up on last Tuesday, Mar.
5th. The court held that the
school board erred in not admit
ting the colored children at the
time that they applied. For Ft.
Scott was then a city Of the Sec
ond class. Seperate schools for
the education of black and white
children can be maintained only
in cities of the first class. Since
the suit was brought (last fall)
Ft. Scott has been made city OF
the first class, and thus practically
will continue to discriminate on
account Of color. AS a city Of
pre-eminence we learn that the
colored people Of Ft. Scott will
ask the school board to admit
their chileren to the public schools
under the laws governing cities
Of the first class, and if refused
will fight it out on a constitutional
line. So far they have shouldered
the burden alone. They now ask
the assistance Of every Negro

THE MUNICIPAL STATUS.

Let every Negro who can vote,
register. Your votes are needed in
the April election.
The coming municipal election will
be Of much Importance, not only to
the Negro race as an element, but
also to the future prosperity of the
city Of Topeka. Its Importance to
the race lies in the representation we
now have on the city working force.
Being as we are preeminently a la
boring element, it becomes our
duty to support the candidate who
has shown greater appreciation Of
us in that capacity. 1t is our duty
to throw our strength on that side Of
the lever that rebounds the greater
good to the largest number of our
race. The employment and appoint
ment Of all the immense working
forces Of this city, lies in the hands
Of the Mayor. A Mayor who will
recognize the Negro among his en-
ployees and appointees is the man
that we want.
1t is an easy matter for any of the
numerous candidates to make prmis-
es and pledges. But practical prom
ises and pledges when they refer to
the Negro have little significance.
We must cling to him who in the
past has proved the truth of his
pledges, by action. That man is D.
| G. Metsker, the present Mayor and
candidate for reelection. Mayor
Metskers policy in the past, has been
of extreme friendiless to the race
He has been the backbone to appoint
Negroes when it resulted in making
his administration unpopular among
the whites. Let every Negro stant
by Mayor Metsker.
In the fight for constable we advise
