The doprman has already notified
the box Office what Is going on, and
when the usher and the scolored man
inquire there they are told, with great
regret, that there Is not single par
quet seat remaining. The box office
will be glad to return the money paid
for the seats or 1t will do the best 1t
can-furnish a couple Of seats in the
top gallery and return the difference
in the price Of the seats.
1t is hard to see any great difference
between this procedure and that en-
ployed in the south.
Even the various sporting clubs
which are organized for the purpose
of giving boxing matches In northern
cities practically refuse to put on
fights in which negro boxers are
matched against white men. And In
this case the colored fighters have seen
fit to threaten retaliatory measures.
Only a few weeks ago the managers Of
all the important boxing clubs In Chi
cago received letters from a local
firm Of colored attorneys to the fol-
lowing effect:
AT present you are discriminating
against colored boxers. AS you are
we'll aware, your shows are In VIOLA
tion Of the state law and are only al
lowed by the city authorities as con-
cession. This Is to notify you that In
case colored boxers are Disseminated
against in the future 1t would not be
surprising II an injunction was asked
for restraining you and all other
managers guilty Of discrimination
from giving boxing matches in the
state Of Illinois,"
The managers Of the boxing clubs
were prompt to answer that they did
not draw the color line and would be
glad to put on colored boxers when
suitable matches, promising profitable
results, could be arranged. It now re-
mains to be seen what further action
will be taken in the premises. as 1t
Is not at all likely that the policy OF
the clubs will be actually changed IN
this respect.-Chicago Tribune.

dows with Parker in demented 81
lence. There was no Herald; there
was no one to get it out.
In the Rouen hospital John Harkless
feebly moved on his bed Of pain. His
constant delusion was that the uni
verse was a vast, white heated brass
bell and he point at the center Of 1t,
listening, listening for years. to the
brazen hum it gave off and burning
In hot waves of sound.
Finally he came to what lie would
have considered a lucid interval had
it not appeared that Helen Sherwood
was whispering to Tom Meredith at
the foot of his bed. This he knew to
be fictitious presentation Of his fever,
for was she not by this time away and
away for foreign lands? And also Tom
Meredith was slim young thing and
not a middle aged youth with an un-
deniable stomach and baldish head
who by the preposterous necromancy
of fever assumed grotesque likeness
of his old friend. He waved his hand
to the figures, and they vanished like
figments of a dream; but, all the same,
the vision had been realistic enough
for the lady to look exquisitely pretty.
No one could help wishing to stay in
O world which contained as charming
a picture as that.
But the next night Meredith waited
near his bedside. haggard and dishev-
eled. Harkless had been lying in a
long stupor. Suddenly he spoke. quite
loudly. and the young surgeon, Gay,
who leaned over him, remembered the
words and the tone all his life.
"Away-and away-across the Wa
ters," said John Harkless. "She was
here-once-in June"
"What is it. John?" whispered Mere
dith huskily. you're feeling easier
aren't you"
And John smiled little, as If. for
the moment. he saw and knew his old
friend again.
That same night a friend Of Rodney
McCune's sent telegram from Rouen:
"He is dying. His paper Is dead.
Your name goes before convention In
September"

the trainmen for me, but they wouldn't
listen or else couldn't make myself un-
derstood. That's all. The rest is blur.
l haven't known anything more until
those surgeons were here. Please tell
me how long ago 1t happened. | shall
not die, think. There are good many
things I want to know about" He
moved restlessly, and the nurse soothed
him.
Meredith rose and left the room with
q noiseless step. He went out to the
stars again and looked to them to check
the storm of rage and sorrow that buff
feted his bosom. He understood lynch
ing, now the thing was home to him,
and his feeling was no inspiration Of q
fear lest the law miscarry. 1t was the
itch to get his own hand on the rope.
Horper came out presently and wills
pered a long. broad, profound curse
upon the men Of the Crossroads. and
Merediths gratitude to him was keen.
Barrett went away soon after. and
Meredith had strange. unreasonable
desire to kick Barrett, possibly for bis
sergeant's sake. Warren Smith sat in
the ward with the nurse and Gay, and
the room was very quiet. 1t was long
vigil They were only waiting.
At 5 o'clock he was still alive-just
that. Smith came out to say. Meredith
sent q telegram to Helen which would
give Plattville the news that Harkless
was found and was not yet gone from
them. Horner left for the station to
catch train. There were things for
him to do in Carlow. At noon Meredith
sent second telegram to Helen as bar
rem Of detail as the first. He was alive;
was little improved. But this tele-
gram did not reach her. for she was on
the way to Rouen. and half Of the pop
ulation of Carlow-at least so it seemed
to the unhappy conductor Of the accom-
modation-was with her.
They seemed to feel that they could
camp in the hospital halls and corri-
dors. and they were an incalculable
worry to the authorities. More came
on every train. and nearly all brought
flowers and jelly and chickens for pre-

UNOFFICIAL "JIM CROW" LAWS
How tho coIored People Are Treated
In the Northern States.

In many Of the southern states the
so-called "Jim Crow" laws are on the
statute books and so have the SEM
blance Of legality. In many Of the
northern states the same discrimina-
ton against the negro is enforced,
though usually by underhanded and
indirect methods. 1t might we'll be
asked whether the real feeling and the
real result is not practically the same
In both cases.
For instance. in the south negroes
are not allowed to eat in the same
room with white men, not even at
railroad eating houses.
Here are couple Of instances Of
the way in which the same rule is en-
forced in the north:
In one Of the most famous restau-
rants in Chicago the walters were all
colored men. When negro entered
and asked to be served he was seated
in the usual way at table on which
there were no menu or price cards.
Presently a price card was laid before
him. And in that price card lay all
the effectiveness Of the strictest south
ern "Jim Crow" law. 1t read some
