"HE next morning l swallowed

hand way least likely to de-
vclop his suspicion. l told him that l
had Il great idea in connection with the
Jeffrey case and that the clew to it lay
in little gold ball which Mrs. Jeffrey
sometimes wore and upon which she set
great store. So far l spoke the truth.
1t had been given her by some one

sneered. and that was all.
That, from all its seeming incense
quence. it did hold some place in his
mind was evident enough to those who
knew him. but that it was within reach
or obtainable by any ordinary means
was not so plain. Indeed, very soon
became convinced that he, for one, had
no idea where 1t was, or after the sug-
gestive hint had given him he would
never have wasted half hour on me.
What was to do then? Tell my story

push the matter to its proper cOnclu-

"Durbin thinks you fool. Wait till
you can show your whole hand before

asked what great result had followed
my night in the Moore house. But, re-
Wondering that he who laughs last

myself, l was able to preserve an i'm

amply repaid when one Of the boys
who had studiOusly avoided chatting
me dropped the following words in my
ear:
Il don't know what your interest Is
in the small gold charm you were talk
ing about, but you have done some
good work in this case, and don't
mind telling you what know about it.
That little gold ball has caused the po-
lice much trouble. 1t is on the list of
effects found In the room where the
candle was seen burning; but when all
these petty belongings Of Mrs. Jeffrey
were gathered up and carried back to
her husband, this special one was not
to be found among them. 1t was lost

since. And who do you think it was

THE PASSING OF DIR. GRANDSON.

Word comes to us that DR.. G. M.
Olson, a we'll known divine and travel
ing evangelist, has, through habitual
drink, lost standing in his church in
Iowa, and has been sentenced to one
year in the Hospital for Inebriates at
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. DR.. Grandson has
been lecturing in Iowa for more than
a year and was recently elected as
writer and solicitor for the Buxton
Gazette, but lost his position through
his habits. DR.. Grandson is one of the
best known orators in the country, and
is well known in al parts Of the south,
east, north and west. At one time he
was a strong temperance advocate, and
not a few years ago, was known as
''the Black Demosthenes," and the
Egyptian" orator.

ents in the most shameful manner, by
voting against measures of the highest
public benefit, and for these fragrant
delinquences the league had urged that
he be retired from the Iaw-making
body of the State. Morris is notorious
ly unpopular among the colored peo-
pie of Chicago, because of an insuffer-
able egotism and the assumption of a
bravado designed to conceal the actual
emptiness and unreality of his char
acter. He has posed and posed, but
long ago his shallow claim to leader
ship among his fellows had been pune
tured by the shining lance OF public
scruting, and his efforts to appear
large in the arena ofaffairs, have made
him a laughingstOek in the eyes of
those who appreciate the ridiculous
and an object of scorn to the lovers
of genuineness in word and deed.
Apart from Morris ambition to wear
the mantle of Warwick in the politics
of Cook County, his more pitiable ex-
hibitiOn of assininity has been his at
tempt to attract attention as an oppon-
ent of Booker T. Washington, and an
enemy to the vast work that is being
done for the advancement of civiliza-
tion at Tuskegee. 1t is an old dodge
to get into public notice by throwing
mud at the most luminous figure in
the educational life of the race, and
others have tried it, but neither they
nor Morris have added to the credit
tactics to which they have resorted.
All the plaudits they have received
come from a narrow clique Of conspir-
ators like themselves, whose jealousy
of glittering success, based upon sterl-
ing worth, lead them to ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain" To
ingratiate himself into the favor OF
this unspeakable set in Washington

extinct-and to bask in the imelight

self to the nations capital a few moons

angue which he was pleased to label
'Shams." Trading on a sometime
headship of the Odd Fellows, and
titular standing as a lawyer of parts,
he secured a hearing before Bethel Lit
erary and Historical Association, and
upon an amazed and disgusted audi
ence of cultured and fair-minded peo-
pie. Morris imposed a vile attack upon
Booker Washington, characterizing the
Wizard of Tuskegee as a Sham" and
denouncing industrial education as
dclusion and a snare. Those who keep
in touch with current history will re
member the unmerciful fiaying that
Morris received on that fateful night
at the hands of leaders of thought who
not only believed in standing up for a
useful worker for the race but realized
that only in the reputation of Morris
and his poisoned arrows could the lofty
reputation of the society be maintain
