matchmaking, and 1t was his boast
that his stock company averaged two
weddings a season, with the manager
invariably giving away the bride.
But this season. when he was man

matrimonial market seemed a bit dead.

Will the time ever come when unde
the American flag the negro is regard
ed as an equal in the civic administra
tion of justice and in the patronage
of public places of county and state
license as he is under the British
rule One of the most notable things
of our trip to the londike and the
Yukon territory was the liberality
of spirit and unbigoted mind as
displayed by the white citizen there
in his contact with the colored man.
1t seems in Dawson the drinks over
the bar taste none the worse because
a colored man is at the same bar
nor the food in a restaurant was nc
different as regards its digestive quail
titles or its assimilation by the gastric
and pencreatic juices into the bile. be

dining room. 1t did not disturb his
luck at the gambling table. nor effec

stranger still is the manner in whicl
the prejudiced American soon get
used to the idea and then forgets al
about any such thing as color in hi

why q? In the political arena he has
been the exemphtication of the AK

been nugatory as far as their politica

stared unblinkingly at the huge red
rose in Pyatt's rug. Then there were
two roses. then three. and finally a
great blur spread over the gaudy rug.

rehearsal this very morning, when
Rowland entered abruptly and ten
dered his resignation. Pyatt looked
worried. Rowland was a dependable
chap and had been with Pyatt two sea-
sons. No good Juvenile was to be Sc
cured west of Chicago. Pyatt chewed
his cigar and frowned. He was feel
ing for the motive which prompted
the resignation, and while he thought,
Rowland left the office, formerly the
star dressing room and opening direct
ly on the stage.
Pyatt was puzzled. Here was the
best part ever offered ''the kid" to say
nothing of d chance to make love to
the very girl he was popularity sup
posed to be wooing in real life. And
yet he had offered his two weeks no
tice with u finality which left no OPP
portunity for argument The solution
was nearer at hand than Pyatt
dreamed.
He had just lighted a fresh cigar
when Ethel Godfrey slipped quietly
into the office. Her eyes were red
trimmed from weeping. Pyatt groaned.

intention of quitting broadcast with
