OF some other way"
As soon as Marjorie reached home
she hunted up Jack and told him all
about her visits, not failing to mention
her hope Of getting the things that
were needed. Now Jack was just two
years older than Marjorie and some
times he was pretty cross and "bossy,'
as Marjorie said, but he loved his little
sister, and nothing pleased him better
than to be consulted about things, so
when she finally ended her account
with 'Now, Jack, how can we do it?'
he began to rack his brains hard to
think of some way.
Under her plate at lunch that day
Marjorie found the following an.

It was Mildred Marvin's turn to do
the neighborhood visiting that day.
She was ? trained nurse, a bright,
strong young woman, whose skill and
energy were unfailing Whether her
fair head, with its coils Of light hair,
bent over a fever patient or her blue
eyes grew dark with sympathy when
she dressed a wound, she was always
gentle, always beautiful Her very
presence brought comfort and light
into the poor homes she visited.
Marjorie adored her as did the poor
afflicted little ones she did so much to
help, and niece and aunt were very
much alike, everyone declared.
They certainly looked alike as they
started down the street that morning,
and one had only to look into Mar
tories blue eyes to see how happy she
was. There was the long ride on the
cable cars, and there was plenty of
time to ask questions, so that by the
time the journey was ended she had
heard all about the people they were
going to see-knew how little Polly
sat in a chair by the window day after
day and watched the people pass OF

wish, though, she had a rolling chair"
added Mariorie's aunt, as she looked
thoughtfully out Of the window. Then
Marjorie wanted to know what that
was and how much it cost.
Then the two went on to the
wretched rooms that were the only
home Jimmy Brown knew, and left
substantial evidences Of their visit.
Poor Jimmy looked up and grinned at
them in spite of the pain In his broken
leg, but there was a drawn look on
his freckled face when he sank back
on the bed.
"The doctor said Jimmy would be
all right after awhile, but it's myself

I his negro was lynchcd because he and
others had violated the law and then re-
sisted q police officer. The negroes were
having a dance. and this particular nesro
u, 4 his brother were d.sorderly- a police
officer interfcred and the negroes became
insulting. The policeman drew his CLUB
to defend himself. when the negro who
was subsequently lynched slipped up be-
hind the officer, grabbed his pistol and
s;.nt him behind l.e ear.
cne of the worst phases of the negro
problem is this manifest disposition on
the part Of many negroes to disregard
The authorities ard to defy the law.
These outbreaks are of frequent occur
reI.ce. and there have been many of them
in the city OF Richmond during the past
few ,nonths. The negro complains that Ia
is badly treated, but he cannot expect to
be we'll treated and he cannot expect to

whites so long as he sets the law at de-

money would be very much better in
