CHAPTER TX.
THE RHYTHM OF THE DANCE,

THE RHYTHM OF THE DANCE.
Before boarding the train he
was to take for Raleigh. he ling
cred with Mrs. Durham talking"
talking about the wonder Of his
love. AS he arose to leave he
said:
Now, mother DEAR
Charlie, you just say that so
beautifully to make me your
slave"
OF course do. What I was
going to say is, I can't write 10
her. I don't dare. You can.
Tell her all about me won't YOU?
Everything that you think will
interest and please her, and that
will be discreet. Your intuitions
will tell you how far to 60.
Tell her how hard I'm working
and what an important mission
I've undertaken, and the tremen-
dous things that hang on its out
come. And tell her how inpati-
emily I'm waiting for her to come
to the springs. Be sure to tell
her that"
All right. I'll act as your at
torney in your absence. But
hurry back, she must not get
here first, Iwant you to be on
the spot"
Ill be here if 1 have to give
up politics and go into business
and you know how I hate that
word business"
I'll telegraph you if she
comes"
Don't let her come till I get
back. Tell her the hotel isn't fit
to receive guests yeti never is
for that matter-but anything to
give me time to get here"
He worked with indomitab1e
courage for two weeks, visiting
the principal towns in the state,
and everywhere arousing intense
enthusiasm. There was some
thing contagious in his spirit.
The young fellows were charmed
by his eager intense way of look
ing at things, they caught the
infection and he made hundreds
of stanch friends.
"You'cr just in time!' cried

PART TWO.
CHAPTER VIII CONTINUED.

I think you exaggerate the
social danger, but I see the polit-
ical end of it,"
i don't exaggerate in the least,
l am looking into the future.
This racial instinct is the ordi-
nance of our life. Lose it and
we have no future. One drop of
negro blood makes negro. 1t
kinks the hair, flattens the
nose, thickens the lip, puts out
the light of intellect, and lights
the fires of brutal passions. The
beginning of negro equality as a
vital face is the beginning of the
end Of this nations life. There
is enough negro blood here to
make mulatto the whole public.
Such a danger seems too re-
mote for serious alarm to me-"
replied the younger man.
All! there's the tragedy" pas-
sionately cried the preacher.
You Younger men are growing
careless and Indifferent to this
terrible problem. It's the one
unso1ved and unsolvap1e riddle
of the coming century,! Can you
build, in a Dem ocracy, a nation
inside nation of two hostile rae
es? We must do this or become
mulatto, and that is death. Every
inch in the approach of these rae
es across the barriers that seper-
ate them is movement asking
him to your home sooner or later.
If you ask him to your house, he
will break bread with you at last.
And if you seat him at your table,
he has the right to ask your
daughters hand in marriage"
1T seems to me a far cry to
that! But see the political cris-
is. What is your plan?"
This ordgnize the young
Democracy in every township in
the state, and put yourself at it's
head, control the primaries and
down the old crow. They We got
to follow you. If you are defeated,
God have mercy on us, but you
will be ready for the next battle.
I'll do it," said CASTOR with
emphasis.
Then want you to go on a
mission to Colonel Duke, the pre-
sident of the National Farmers
Alliance. He's a good Baptist.
He means we'll, but he's crazy.
He dreams of the presidency
when he has esta blished the sub
treasury for the farmers! He's
afraid of the negro, and is ner-
vous about using him. lie knows
l am the most influential Baptist
preacher in the state. Tell him
I say you will win, and that we
will give him the nomination for
governor, and put him in line for
the presidency"
when shall I go to see him?"
I'm mcdiatcly. Get ready to-
night"

Nonsense. I'm as free as a

PARTING OF THE WAYS.
Halifax Chronicle Says Canada Is
About Done With ENGLAND.

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 2S.-The declara-
ton that the existing relations between
Canada and Great Britain cannot exist
much longer was made, today, by the
Halifax Chronicle, the leading news
paper supporter in the maritime prov
inces Of the Liberal party In the
course of an unusually outspoken edi-
torial on the recent Alaskan boundary
award, the Chronicle says:
This Alaska episode has made it clear
that our existing relations to the empire
cannot be continued much longer We
are even now at the parting of the ways.
Our subordinate position has been So
clearly and so humliatingly revealed that
it must speedily become utterly unendu1
able.
The Chronicle adds that there are now
only two courses open for Canada-com
plete legislative independence within the
empire, acknowledging the sovereignty of
the King of England alone. or the status
of an independent nation. The paper says
there is much to commend the latter step
in particular because it would free Can
ada from the danger of being ever en-.
broiled with the United States on account
OF its European connection and at The.
same time would secure for the Dominion,
the benefit of the protection of the Mon
roe Doctrine.

y THE BULGARIAN RESERVES
To Be Demobilized With Utmost Dis
patch, Says the Latest.

London, Oct 2S.-An order has been
issued, says the Sofia correspondent of
the Times, for the complete demobliZa-
ton of the Bulgarian reserves, who re-
turn to their homes, today, (Tuesday).
This, SAYS the correspondent marks
the end of the war scare for this year
TIE decision to mobilize the reserves at
the moment when the massacres We're
at their height and large concentrations
Of Turkish troops We're taking place on
the frontier occasioned sudden change
in the situation. Europe realized that
the forbearance of Bulgaria was almost
exhausted and that a serious crisis was
imMinent. and the attitude of the Sui
tan underwent a sudden change. His
Majesty lost no time in expressing con-
ciliatory sentiments and in reopenine
direct negotiations.
The mobilization has been n severe
strain on the resources of Bulgaria, but
says the correspondent the sacrifice
was not made in vain. 1t is scarcely
too much to say that if Bulgaria had
not armed the enlarged Austro- Russian
program would not have seen the light
Upon the success or failure of that pro-
gram depends the contingency of 9
fresh mobilization in the spring. Should
Bulgaria he compelled to arm again
war will not easily be averted, since
there are limits to the patience of ever
the weak and friendless.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times says that throughout the Mace

Germany has viewed with the Creates

est reluctance the proposal to subject
the civil and military administration Of
Macedonia to the control of the agent:

Lowell Armenians Profess Ignorance

AFRAID OF SMALLPOX.
Allegheny, Pa. to Be Guaranteed un
less Restrictions Are Rigid.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 2S.-Allegheny
will be quarantined. today, to protect
the outside public from smallpox con-
tagion if the State Board Of Health is
able to carry out it's threat. For sew
eral months Allegheny has been afiiict-
ed with many cases of smallpox, but
the authorities of the city were conf
dent of being able to control the dis
ease without resorting to heroic meas
ures. DR.. w. b. Bott, quarantine Off
cer-at-large of the State Board of
Health, in due time investigated the
situation, and on Oct. 10, notified Supt.
Mclaughlin of the Allegheny health
bureau that the state board had decid-
ed to quarantine the city unless within
five days the laws regulating the con-
troll of contagious diseases would be en-
forced by the Allegheny Board of
Health.
The time limit expired, Saturday, but
because of the appeals of prominent
citizens it was extended. Allegheny
council in special meeting, Monday,
failed to take steps deemed necessary
by the state board, hence the radical
action taken by that body.
DR.. Bot will arrive here, today. when
1T is expected he will put in force the
quarantine law in it's fullest sense and
the people of Allegheny will be pre-
vented from leaving the city. Already
orders have been issued to regulate the
transmission of mail, money by banks,
parcels, packages and baggage by ex-
press and otherwise.
