CHAPTER XII.

!: Il was about IL o'clock on the tenth
day after the sailing of the Cleopatra.
Maj Goddard, Mr.. Talley and Blanche
were in the dining-room about to sit
down to luncheon, Miss Dean having
sent down word that she would be-
detained in her room.
The door bell had rung, but none of
the trio had heard it. Just at this
juncture James came in bearing
telegram on q tray. He handed it to
the major who opened it slowly.
II wonder what this is?" he muir.
INJURED.
MRS. Goddard has arrived safe"
suggested Talley; this is the tenth
day, you know"
mo, it is not a cablegram,'' am
swered Goddard. whose eye was we'll
schooled in such matters; lit is from
the city"
The others watched his lace as ho
unfolded the sheet Of paper. They
saw him start, and his eyes open wide.
Surely, she could not he began,
and there paused.
May I see it?', asked Talley, his
thoughts on falling stocks, bank fall
ures and possible financial crashes.
The young man engaged in specula-
ton now and then.
The major gave him the telegram
and turned away. He was deathly
pale and tripped on a rug as he
walked towards the door. Blanche
looked over Talley's shoulder. The
message was from the agents of the
Cleopatra's company on Broadway,
and ran as follows:
I'VE regret to inform you that your
wife, in temporary fit of insanity,
during severe storm two days before
the Cleopatra arrived at Liverpool,
threw herself overheard ana was not
rescued. Our information comes di-
rect from the captain of the Cleo
patra; who adds that full particulars
are being sent to the New York pa
pers."
Isn't it awful-poor old mani" said
Talley, looking at Blanche, but she
seemed to have lost the power of
speech. She turned white to the
roots of her hair. Going into the lit
tie reception-room adjacent, she found
her guardian standing at window
She: laid her hand on his arm.
"Oh, l am so-sorry!" she said, ten
derby.
But he only laid an unsteady hand
over hers, pressed it a little, and said:
THANK you, dear little girl; leave
me alone now, please
And as she moved away she saw
him sink into big armchair and
cover his face with his hands,.
That afternoon the papers came
| bearing long account of the tragedy
The jor was in his room and sent
| che of the maids down for them, so
no one saw his face while he was
reading the details, which shocked
him as if every word of the account
| had been true.
did you ever imagine that Mrs.
| Goddard was not quite right mental
ly??'' asked Talley when he was able
to catch Blanche alone that after
noon.
Eyes" she answered. II suspected
or rather she confessed to ten
dency in that direction the nj ght be-
fore she sailed. She said she hoped
the voyage would cure her."
"Ah. that sort of thing never en-
tered my head" said the private Sec
rotary: II thought she had the clear
est head of any woman alive, but
bright people do lose their balance"

HoW LONe MILL LIE WAR LAsI7

In bis last report the Secretary of

nearly three thousand officers. Just

pense this must be to the Government,
and yet We seem to be accomplishing
such a little towards the pacifcation
of the inhab bitants of this far away
island! Unless there is an early solu-
ton to this vexed problem which we
have undertaken to s)lve, we believe
that it will become burdensome to the
Americans beyond endurance. 1t does

The AFR0.AMERICAN AND THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY.

The Afro-Amerioan enters upon the
new century under conditions radically
different from those which hedged him
about at the beginning of the hundred
years just passed. In 1901 he was in
absolute bondage, the unconditional
property or ehattel of another; he was
forced to work for bis masters benefit,
without his own consent and without
any compensation other than the nec'
essarY foed to keep him alive and suf'
fcient clothing to cover bis nakedness.
In short, he was a man without rights,
q man without prospects, and conse'
quently man without aspirations He
begins the new cycle freeman, he be-
gins it with new hope arising from
his eternal faith in the triumph of
right, and with a new name-Afro'
American creditably himself, but des'
tined to live nevertheless through all
time,
In 1901 there were about 100000
slaves in this country all Negroes and
mulattoes; in 1901 slavery exists no
where throughout this broad land,
and ten millions of the descendants of
those held in bondage hundred years
ago are taking their places side by
side with the chil1ren of the former
masters In all walks of life, making
themselves good citizens and sharing in
the duties and responsibilities of
splendid citizenship. The Twentieth
Century with all of its opportunities
finds the Afro American prepared to
meet them and ready to make an
earnest effort to justify all the prophe-
cies for good that have been uttered
in bis behalf. The Afro 3 merlcan is a
conspicuous element IN the American
civilization and in this century he will
become one of the strongest factors in
all thab goes to make the Republic
great aud distinguished.

hurt them politically.
No, there hasn't been case of yellow fever IN
Santiago province, and the province is remarkably

Major Lynch has given expression
TO the whole Cuban situation in this
pithy interview. The Cubans do net
want to become & part of Us, nor do
they want an American protectOrate.
They have been fighting for many years
for absolute independence and it seems
that they will be satisfied with nothing
less than that. Indeed, We are inform
ed on the best authority that the re-
ports that come from the Island 80 the
effect that there is a struggle for su-
premaey between the white and black
Cubans are false in toto The people
of Cuba know nothing about diferenc-
es on account of color and it will be a
difficult thing for American neWspa-
per correspondents to bring about any
such feeling among them.
We are glad to welcome our distin
guished fellow citizen, John r, Lynch,
to the States He is one of the abIest
Negroes this country has produced.
His wbsle career from member of the
Constitutional Convention of his State
in 1868 to his present responsible and
dignifed position In the United States
Army is an inspiration. AS speaker
of the House OF Representatives of his
State, as Congressman. as Auditor of
the United States Treasury, and pay
master In the Army, he has always re
fected credit on himself and on his
race. Major Lynch is an Observant
man and it is we'll to note what he says
about the feeling of Cubans towards
the Americans.
