pie who surrounded her were deter
mined to separate them and they SC
worked on the husband that he actual
" committed suicide by drowning.
The wife had the body found and
brought to her and properly dressed
and laid out; then she asked to be al
lowed to spend the night alone with it.
She was found the next morning,
dressed as bride in spotless white:
dead, with her head upon the bosom
of her dead husband. In the packet
which had been entrusted to the dead
husband was another letter which
told that the aunt who was pro-
nounced against the black husband,
had African blood in her veins. This
knowledge drove her insane.
The story is told in a very pleas
ing manner and will prove to be quite
interesting. The book was not writ
ten for the purpose of selling it, but
because the writer is in hearty sym
pathy with Afro-Americans and de-
plores the condition in which they are
compelled to exist in this country on
account of the inconsistent, senseless
inhuman color prejudice which obtains
only in this country and hopes it will
at least cause the thinking portion Of
it's readers to think and it will.

low The HORSE CANE down TO US

She is loved by a youth who would be
considered the best catch IN the neigh
borhood. He wishes her to marry him
on the day they both graduate from
the high school, but she has q desire to
see something OF the world and he re-.
luctantly consents. She obtained a
place as bookkeeper with a man who
stood high in his community, but who
was base scoundrel at heart, and
soon ruined the girl in very despic-
able manner. She finally tried to es-
cape from the life she was compelled
to lead by going to the pastor of her
church. She was introduced to the
society of the church and her story
told. These goody, goody women
while pretending to aid her, were care
full to not do too much for her. She
made a nine months struggle, but
when she saw the hollowness of theil
charity and Christianity she. went
back to her old life. Finally she be.
came an inmate of a maison- de-joie
where she was found by her fiancee
who took her from it and married her
land she afterward lived in peace ant
happiness. The story is quite reals

having these two human beings fall
in love with each other. Upon grea-
! soning together they come to the con-
clusion that under the circumstances
they must foreg0 conventionalities: and
in the sight of God become man and
wife. They had been on the island a
year as they supposed alone, but just
about the time for very important
thing to happen they learned that an
aunt of the girl, white lover and. a
doctor, who were on the il1-fated YES
sci, were also on the island. AS all
were southern people they were terri
bly, shocked" at the condition of af-
fairs, but very wisely concluded not
to interfere as the man in the. case was
one of extraordinary strength, cour-
age and ability, and the life of the
woman would be also endangered. The
doctors services were brought into
requisition and though the child had
to be sacrificed to save the mother,
the crisis was met and passed. Then,
they were rescued by a vessel under
the command of a man who had fitted
it out for the express purpose Of hunt
ing up the ship-wrecked girl. He had
hoped thus to win her and her for
tune. On the night of the shipwreck,
the commander Of the vessel had en-.
trusted to the Afro-American q. sealed
packet to be opened the next morning
if he was still alive. This packet CON
tanned confession from the giver
that he was the father Of the Afro
American a to whom it was given. This
made the man and wife in question
cousins, a fact known by both. before
the married relation was entered upon.
After the rescued party reached this
country, by various subterfuges the
man was kept from seeing his wife.
