Edith found tears of joy raining down
her face. 1t all seemed a beautiful con-
spiracy to insure her perfect happiness,
and she was laughing and crying at the
same time, quite regardless of the opin-
ion of the Grove street maids. Nor was
she aware, in the sweet confusion of her
ideas. that a Young man much tanned
by wind and wave and n wa rapidly
approaching down the broad walk. II
was Harold Ashley, Just returned from
his trip, and now be planted himself in
front of Edith and blocked the way.
''How good you have been to WinF'
she murmured, ashamed Of the happy
tears on her cheek. 81 have Just been
reading a letter from him"
There is no goodness in giving a lift
to a fellow like Willard" said Harold,
looking embarrassed. "Of course he was
bound to make his mark all the anne if
l had not happened to mention him to
my uncle. BY the way, Miss March, /
have a little note in my pocket for you
that was intrusted 20 me by of your
friends" he fumbled about in his vari-
Gus pockets, and at last drew out a billet
which he presented with a formal little
bow. Edith turned it over, looked at
the crest, inhaled the delicate perfume
and then slowly broke the seal. The
handwriting was unknown. She turned
to the end AMI real, 70 her establishment,
the name Mary Isabella Trevor. Harold
watched the huctuating color in the
girls shy, downcast face as she read as
follows:
DEAR Miss MARCH, fear you have
imbibed a very erroneous impression in
regard TO my relations with my cousin,
Harold Ashley. We are not engaged,
and could not be, for l am a confirmed
invalid and shall never marry. Harold
is a noble fellow, warm hearted, strictly
honorable and calculated TO make any
wo-uan happy upon whom he bestOws
his affections. Dear Miss March, you
win, 1 trust, pardon the liberty 1 have
taken. but l wish to confde 10 you a Sc
cret. harry will b envy heir. and / should
like him 10 hear this fact, Of which he is
now ignorant, from the lips Of the wom-
an he loves"
A rosy cloud passed before Edith's
eyes, and she dared not look at the young
man still planted there before her,
watching the varying expression Of her
face. She knew he was saying some
thing, but the words seemed 10 come
from a long distance away. Dear
Edith" be seemed 10 say, Il dOntt know
what Mary has written, but l must tell
you how dearly | love you, how noble
you seem TO me, above all other women
in the world. Tell me, can you ever
learn to care for me: / do 50 honestly
and truly love YOU"
Edith raised her eyes to his, and her
lips parted in a smile. You are 30
good she murmured. Il think you are
almost divine. How could | help loving
your"
He took her hand and drew it through
his arm, and then she remembered a
neglected duty.
Il must go TO poor old Miss Rivers at
the hospital. for 1 have good news for
her, and it would be a sin - keep her
waiting"
"And | will go with you, he answered,
''to the worlds end"
So they walked on, not down prosaic
Grove street, with its great leafy elms,
but through some EMPOWERED and flower
decked lovers lane in paradise.

farm was sold and John has kept his
threat. The years have rolled by since
he went to bed, and old neighbors have
moved away and new ones moved in to
take their places, but as little was said of
John many of them did not know of bis
existence. The mother died, and while
a number of neighbors were sitting up
with the corpse at night, the pale and
emaciated John presenting a ghostly
appearance, came into the room and
knelt by the side of his dead mother.
Few knew that such existed.
Many times John gets contrary and will
not allow his clothes arranged, at which
time neighbors have to be called in to
aid. Several doctors have examined
him and fail to find anything serious the
matter, but he has lain in bed until now
the least exertion causes him to tremble.

The Woman's Independent Organiza-
ton Of Chicago has issued circular ap.
peal to the representative Afro-Amer-
lean women of the United States urging
them to meet in convention in this city
on the 21st inst. and take some steps
In regard to their great interests in the
Wo Ids Columbian Exposition, and re-
sent the insult hurled at the women of
our race at the last session of the Board
of Lady Managers. The circular is a
strong one and it's request should be
needed. 1t gives some of the express
sions of those Lady" Managers as fol-
lows; Lady from Arkansas, Il wish to
exhibit the work Of the poor white cot
ton pickers." Lady from Virginia,
1.-THE Colored people do not need any
representation. 1t will put them on an
equal footing with the whites" Repre-
sentative from Texas, 1.-THE darkies are
better off in the white folks hands. The
Negroes in my state do not want repre-
sentation." Now such comments as
these demand resenting, and our coura-
geous Colored women are going to do it.
They are not seeking political prefer.
ment and consequently can be outspoken.
Had our assumed leader, Mr.. Bruce,
been ss watchful of our interests as he
now desires to have us believe from his
speeches of threaten characteristics
concerning colonization, we would now
be represented on the Board of Directors
of the Columbian Exposition. When
DR.. Townsend's name was mentioned as
collector of Colored exhibits, Mr.. Bruce
rushed to Chicago to oppose it and up to
date no Co!ored person has been ap-
pointed. Perhaps Mr.. Bruce advised
that "The darkies are better off in the
white folks hands," Who knows?
We notice growing tendency of the
young Colored men to revolt against this
nefarious syAtem of leadership that We
have. We receive letters daily from all
parts of the country asking why we do
not urge in our letter to the press the
organization of the young men into an
aggressive body that will assist and aid
materially in the settlement of the race
question by revolving against the blood.
sucking tactics of such men as Bruce and
others we'll known. We reply to our
correspondents by saying that the young
and growing Colored journals could best
further this idea by vigorous editorials.
We believe that Mr.. c. E. Hall, of Chi
cago is working to organize the young
Colored men and we hope success will
attend his efforts. The idea deserves
encouragement
