reused ana they glanced over their
shoulders and discovered that the oc-
cupant was one lone man and as he
approached them they made the
alarming discovery that said man was
rather good looking with killing
mustache and was going their way.
The he william in the team drove up and
stopped his horse just abreast of the la
dies ana made some mysterious signs
with is fingers that they did not under
stand He then fished out a piece of
paper ana a pencil and commenced to
v rite They looked at each other and
\ wondered what this was all about. At
last it iawned upon them that the
poor man was deaf and dumb.
After finishing his writing he handed
tie paper over to our heroines and
they read in bold letters. Il am going
10 Augusta. Would you like to ride"
He waited for an answer. They
talked the matter over and concluded
as he looked perfectly harmless that
they would accept. So he helped
them into the carriage, got in NM
self and started up the horse toward
town.
For some moments not a word was
spoken. Then one Of the girls in a
stage whisper said to her friend. ZOO
haG he is deaf and dumb. He's hand
some anyway"
Her friend answered. Yes. his
mustache is Just lovely. | wouldn't
mind kissing him just once, would
you?"
They ratified on and discussed the
poor mans personal appearance pretty
thoroughly while he. poor fellow
seemed to enjoy the ride full as much
as they did When they got most
down to the Cony High schoolhouse
they thought they had better walk
from there in so they touched the
sphiny arm and signalled to him that
they would like to get out. He very
politely drove up to the sidewalk ana
helped them out. One of the girls Dor
rowed his paper and pencil and wrote,
Thank you.
He raised his hat and said. Ladies,
T have enjoyed your company very
much and any time you see me driv-
ing hy and you wish for a ride. don
hesitate to ask and I shall be only too
happv to take you in. I wish you
good afternoon"
They gave one shrek and botn saio

the side street, You mean thing,

just roared.

CHICAGO, July 25.-General Manager
Aertsen, of the Latrobe Steel and Coup
Ter works at Melrose Park, gave out a.
statement this evening declaring that
the company has abandoned the effort to
bring colored laborers to Melrose
Park, and that they will be sent back
to their homes in Alahana.
All day the 800 colored men sat in their
cars at La Grange, twenty eight sailes
from Chicago, in fear. a committee of
five citizens of Melrose Park called on
them during the morning and used their
best endeavors to induce the men to re-
turn to their homes in Alabama. They
informed the colored men Of the actual
state of affairs in Melrose Park, where
800 armed men were awaiting the arrival
of the train, determined that the colored
men should not be allowed to alight In
the village. Their statements alarmed
the colored men more than ever, and
finally five of them slipped off the train
and made their way into Chicago, where
they sought an interview with Chief of
Police ONeiI, asking protection, which
he could not give, as the trouble was not
within the city limits.
After the five men had left the train
to come to Chicago, the fears of those
left on the train increased greatly, and
it was with difficulty that the trainmen
in a panic Nearly all of the colored
men declared that they would not go
to Melrose Park, and that if taken there
on the train they would refuse to get
off.
ORDERED OUT OF LA GRANGE.
At o'clock Marshal Rau, of the town
of La Grange, ordered the train bearing
the colored men to move out of the vii
lage 1t did so, and was placed on a
siding at Salt Creek, two miles north Of
La Grange.
In the meantime attorneys for the steel
company called upon Sheriff Magerstadt
and asked that the company be given am
pie protection against the mob violence
which was threatened. They stated pos
itively that the laborers would be landed
in the shops of the company late this
afternoon whether the sheriff furnished
any aid or not.
II have just received a. telegram from
Adjt. Gen. Reece, offering me the aid
of the state militia if / need it," said
Sheriff Magerstadt after his conference
with the attorneys, ''but will not need
it. 1 have sent half a dozen men to
Melrose Park this afternoon simply to
make a report to me on the conditions
there. If they say that mob of 300
armed men are patrolling the streets as
the officials of the company inform me,
I will swear~in a number of deputies and
will preserve the peace at all hazards
However, 1 am not going to call upon
the militia, as the county is capable of
preserving the peace, whatever happens" >"
