FRIEND OF BLACK MAN.
Booker T. Washington Writes of Coils
P. Huntington.

P. Huntington.
Booker T. Washington, principal of
the Tuskegee, Ala, institute, writes:
Since the death of Coils P. Hunting
ton, I have been much interested in
reading what has been said about his
life.
For more than ten years it was my
privilege to know Mr.. Huntington and
to come in close contact with him.
Perhaps because I was a member of
another and unfortunate race, who
had no Gains upon him, gave me an
opportunity to really know the higher
and better life of the man better than
some Others The first time | saw Mr.
Huntington he gave me 81 for our
school at Tuskegee; the last time /
saw him he gave me $4,000 toward
the endowment of our school. Mr..
Huntington not only aided our school
at Tuskegee financially, but he took
deep and personal interest not only in
the Hampton and Tuskegee schools, as
we'll as others, but in the entire negro
race.
Many times when I have met him
at his home or at his Office, I have
wondered how man who was bur-
deEed with such tremendous respon-
sibilities could find the time to talk
with me at so great a length about the
welfare of our school and race. Often
I have gone to his Office in the midst
of his most busy days, and he would
spend an hour in getting information
and giving advice regarding the eleva-
ton of the negro race. He not only
did this, but [ received from him
the greatest pains to point out the best
way for the conduct of our school and
the education of the race When trav-
cling in the south, in his private car
he could always be approached by the
most humble black man.
"To me his heart always seemed as
tender as that of child, and I never
went to him for anything that he
thought our school at Tuskegee need
ed, that he did not assist in securing.
Only a short while before he died he
learned in some way that the work at
Tuskegee would be madesmore efficient
if he could secure an additional boiler
and engine. AS soon as he learned
this, he told me that he wanted to
provide these for US. In order to be
sure that we secured just what we
needed, he gave his personal attention
to seeing that the proper boiler and

Fishino and Wishing.

Three little folk by the meadow brook
With line OF Irvine and bent pin
hook,
And an eager, earnest, serious look,
Sat resolutely fishing!
But either the fish were wondr0us wise,
Or they had the sharpest kind of eyes,
For they wouldn't bite, to the great
surprise
Of the little folk, who said with signs,
Lets play game of wishing"
II WISH" said Tom, for pot of gold,
With every minute that has been told
Since the day the earth was young or
old;
I'd have more money than I could hold.
See what I get by wishing!''
81 WISH said Ned, that the ships at
And all that is in them belonged to me.
And all that have been, or ever will be;
My wish is the best, don't you agree,
And worth a day of fishing!"
81 WISH" said Moll, with a toss of her
head,
And pout of her lips that were cherry
red,
you'd get your wishes just as you
said,
And give them to me-now, Tom and
Ned,
I've got the most by wishing!"
And all day long in the woodland shade
The three little fsher-folk sat and
played,
And oh, the millions of money they
made,
Though never a dollar of it was paid,
Was worth a year Of fishing!

Lyster Ayrton knew there would be
a battle to fight. Before now, men not
too particular in their habits of life
had forbidden him to cross the thresh-

or daughter to guard; so it was not
likely the squire would give up his
darling without a great struggle.

CHAPTER VIII.
"His Life in Her Hands,"


The first day and evening were
spent in finally arranging and re-
hearsing the tableaus. They were very
effective. The first was the we'll
known picture of Amy Robsart in her
bower-room at Cumnor House, with
the Earl of Leicester by her side.
Sybil Jocelyn made a superb Amy;
the costume suited her to perfection.
Sir Rupert was the gallant earl; and
Amy, in the most bewitching of atti-
tudes, sat at his feet, looking up into
his face.
'That will do excellently," said
Lady Marche, who had a complete
mania for tableaus. "There is just one
fault, Miss Jocyln. Your pose is mag
nificent, but you do not give the right
expression. Amy worshiped Lord
Dudley, and you must contrive to look
as if you worshiped Sir Rupert"
''WilI it be so difficult, Sybil?" he
whispered ooh, darling! think, as
you look at me. how I love you"
ct have not the capability of wor-
Shipping said Sybil to Lady Marche.
"You must learn" she said, briefly
"Here, Captain Ayrton, you are mas
ter of ceremonies. While I drill Sir
Rupert, give Miss Jocelyn a lesson"
He came straight across the room
to her
"Will it be difficult. Miss Jocelyn?'
he asked. 'eWill you turn your face tc
the light?"
She did so. Lady Marche had gone
with Sir Rupert to the table. where
sketches of different costumes lay.
''Sybil," he whispered, 'look at me.
She raised her eyes and read the
love that shone in his. For one mo-
ment her whole face seemed trans
figured; the whole love that had 81
unconsciously grown in her hear
shone there; then a crimson flush
seemed to burn her cheeks and brow.
There is nothing for me to teach,
he said, gently; and she turned ava!
from him-turned away, never to NEE
his gaze unconsciously again. Thai
one lingering, passionate glance had
broken up forever the calm of Sybi
Jocelyn's life.
She had no time for thought; Lad!
Marche was calling for the third pic
ture. She was to be Rowena, ant
Violet Ruthers Rebecca. The dark
glowing, southern beauty of the one
contrasted so charmingly with the
fair Saxon loveliness of the other.
In after years, Sybil often wondered
if some malicious fate had taken thes'
tabIeaus into hand. On the evening
appointed for them, when the large
