EASED MISS .SOPHRONIA'S MIND

The Misses Malcolm were known to
the little world of which Greenby was
the center as "the two Malcolm girls"
in spite of their gray hairs and sixty
odd years. They were also known as
the best housekeepers in all the re-
gion, and any lapse from the exquisite
neatness of their domain seeming to
the Misses Malcolm a terrible thing.
When cousin Palmer Malcolm, a
reckless western relative, died, the
Malcolm girls started for the Missouri
town on four hours notice, althou""
they had entertained thirty-two "H
vest Cleaners" the night before, too
To Miss Sophronia, the elder, was
allotted by mutual consent the task of
putting the lower rooms in order, so
far as possible, while Miss Eudora at
tended to their bedrooms and their
simple packing.
When they were at last seated in
the train, after a two miles jolting
ride in the old coach, Miss Eudora
noticed that Miss Sophronia's face
wore a troubled and anxious look. AS
cousin Palmer Malcolm had been a
great trial to the family, Miss Eudora
telt that his death could not be the
cause of her sisters worry, and after
1 few moments of silence she decided

SLAVERY IN OLD ILLINOIS

Some of the early laws for the regu-
lation of slavery in what is now Hi
nois were curious and interesting. In
Prof. N. Dwight Harris book on the
subject the author says that in 1903 it
was found necessary to provide some
legal status for the numerous linden
tured negroes. Under the provisions
of this code all male negroes under
Is years of age, either owned or &C.
quired, must serve till the age of 35;
women till 80. Children born to per-
sons of color during the period Of
service could also be bound out-the
boys for thirty years and the girls for
twenty-eight. All slaves brought into
the territory were obliged to serve the
full term of their contracts"
Slaves were easily imposed upon.
Most of the settlers owned slaves
and were anxious to get as much SER
vice out Of them as possible. They
registered them for periods Of servi-
!ude far in excess of the legal limit,
many being booked to serve from
forty to sixty and eve ninety-nine
years. Ninian Edwards, the first gov:
ernor of the territory, registered his
slaves as follows: Rose, 90 years Of
age, for thirty-ive years; Antony, 40
years old, for fifteen years; Maria. Is,

The Nigeria Region.

Nigeria is an important region in
Africa and comprises the whole of the
British sphere with the exception of
the colony and the Protectorate of
Lagos), within the lines of demarca-
ton arranged by the Anglo-German
agreements of 1885, 1886 and 1898, and
the Arglo-French agreements Of 1889,
1890, and 1898. The region covers be-
tween 400, 900 and 500, 900 square miles,
and its population is variously esti-
mated at from 5000, 900 to 40, OOO, 900,
but in the absence Of any census, no
reliance can be placed on such esti-
mates. 1t is certain, however, that a
great number of towns in Nigeria con-
tain considerable population. For ad-
ministrative purposes Nigeria is tenn
porarily divided into two governments,
Northern Nigeria and Southern Nj
geria, but in the absence of any data
it is impossible to say which section
has the largest population. B~rigadier-

to probe, the matter. At that very
moment Miss S%ophronia spoke.
"Eudora," and her tone was one Of
distress, Il let Mrs. Goodwin go up
to the spare room just before supper
last night to get the measures of
our quilt and bolster-spread, and the
bell rang while she was measuring.
and she hurried down, leaving the
quilt on one Of the chairs and two Of
the curtain shades up to the top. She
told me, and l forgot it. Suppose the
house caught on fire while we're gone.
nd the neighbors went in and saw
that quilt on a chair, and all, what
would they think Of us?"
Now, Sophronia, you ought to have
trusted me, and not worried" said
Miss Eudora, calmly. Something led
me to open that spare room door the
last thing, and when I saw what a fix
twas in, and knew I hadn't another
minute, I just locked the door and
put the key in my pocket, for the
thought of fire came to me just as 1t
did to you"
Miss Sophronia's face cleared.
I'm so thankful" she said simply.
Il shouldn't have had one mite Of
pleasure or comfort in the journey or
the funeral If that door had been left
unlocked.'-YOuth's Companion.

for forty-five years; Jesse, %, for
t~hirty-five years. The ignorant ne
groes were deceived into believing
that 1t IA right to bind themselves
for such long periods.
Even at this early day kidnapping
had begun. Negroes whose terms OF
service were about to expire were
seized and carried off to the south
and sold into servitude more wretched
than before. The hiring Of negroes to
work in salt mines, legalized by stat
ute in 1914, served as a pretext for
holding slaves in other parts Of the
state. TO roll a barrel of salt once
a year or to put salt into a salt cellar
was sufficient excuse says Gov. Flow.
err, for any man to hire a slave and
to raise a field of corn"
Wholesome food, sufficient clothing
and lodgings were to be provided for
eacn slave. The outfit for a servant
was enumerated as follows: "A coat,
w%aistcoat, a pair of breaches, one pair
of shoes, two pairs of stockings, a
hat and a blanket" No provision vas
made for a future increase and there
was no penalty for failure to provide
the original outfit. Lazy or indiffer-
ent servants might, or an order from
the justice of the county be punished
by whipping.

row CLIMATE AFFECTS BLONDES

Did the ancient highly civilized ma
tons Of the past die out because they
were blonde and therefore untitled for
the regions in which they flourished?
DR.. Charles e. Woodruff, a surgeon in
the United States army, who has writ
ten a book on the subject, believes
that this was the case. He maintains
that too much light is injurious to
white through its actinic or
chemical effects, from which the dark
skin pigments of swarthy races pro-
tect them. Thus he explains why, by
survival Of the fttest, dark races are
found in tropical lands, why Euro
peans have always failed to colombo
the tropics and why blondes disappear
when they migrate southwark. Says
a reviewer In the Edinburgh Medical
Journal: "The blonde and intelligent
rulers Of regions suited better for
more swarthy inhabitants have regu-
larly in the course of ages died out,
while their subjects, thoroughly &C
climatized to their domicile, remain.
Egypt has been the theater of immi-
grafton Of intellectual races over and
over again; in each cas- these dis
appeared and civilization decayed,
though the native fellah survived and
survives. There wfn,' the author
predicts, never be another dark age,
for the present Aryan conquerors rule
it from London and are not coloniz-
e!rs.' While the blonde type Of
kind requires for it's evolution a cold,
dark, northern country, the brunette

Of various degrees Of intensity up to
absolute blackness Is alone adapted
for lasting existence in most regions
Of the world"
There is too much sunshine In the
United States and none of the races
that have come to this country until
recently Is adapted to the climate.
DR.. Woodruff thinks, except the Jews.
All the rest are degenerating from ex-
cessive light. The lower Mediterran-
can races, however, are now focking
over, and If the blonde types die out
as they did in Greece and Italy during
the d~ecadence of these two countries,
United States history may repeat
theirs, though DIR. Woodruff believes
that the northern types may survive
in sufficient numbers to prevent the
destruction of the republic provided
it takes warning and limits the fran.
chise to the races represented by
these types.
About seven centuries were re-
quired, according to DR.. Woodruff, for
the climate Of Greece to destroy its
blondes. In 500 B. c., the period OF
it's greatest literary glory, the deca-
dence of the Greeks was already evil
dent and shows itself to-day in their
literature and art. DIR. Woodruff
points out how ancient Greek statues
exhibit many of the stigmata of de-
generacy; even a famous head of Juno
has arrested development of the jaw
and is "the head of a dying race

STURDY MINERS OF BUTTE

Probably nowhere in the world IS
there such a f~orceful, virile body OF
workers as are the miners of Butte.
There are no graybeards. They are
social rebels; not that they chant the
Carmagnole to the waving of the
black flag of anarchy, but in the sense
that back in the well-ordered civiliza-
lion of the east they rebelled against
poverty and pushed on to the from
tier, big-muscled, red-blooded, deter
mined to sail the ship of their destiny
into p~leasanter places than their boy
hood knew. From the copper mines
of Berehaven, in the County Cork,
from the coal mines of Tipperary,
from the tin mines Of Cornwall and
from wherever in Western Europe

CHAPTER XIV.
The Arabs Purpose.

ihc Aid uIpOSe
AS Ulin sat upon the greensward,
with her back against a palm tree,
and one hand resting upon Albia's
arm, she could take a clear view of her
captors. The sun was just tinging the
distant mountain tops with it's golden
light, and the last shadow of the night
had gone. The Arabs had watered the
horses and left them where they could
crop the green grass, and were now
gathered together, listening to the
words Of their chief.
They were rough, dark looking men,
these Arabs. Their clothing was
sparse and poor, and their skin swart
and dirty; but their weapons were
bright and keen and their horses in
most perfect condition, both as to
health and cleanliness. A little while
they %conversed together, and then one
Of them brought forth the bundle
which had been taken from Shubal. 1t
was opened by the leader, and the ar
ticles of clothing which it contained
were spread out upon the ground.
Folded up in a silken scarf was found
a purse, from which fell a score or
more of broad gold pieces; whereupon
the marauders gave utterance to vari-
Gus EXPLANATIONS of satisfaction.
They are robbers" said Ulin, as
she saw them dividing the gold.
Certainly" responded Abba. "I
have suspected that from the first"
Can they belong to Julian's band?"
"Why should you ask such a ques-
ton, my mistress? You know that
Julian would never have such men
about him."
AS she spoke, the Arab leader came
towards them, and after gazing upon
them for a few moments, he said, ad-
dressing the princess:
81 hope you find yourself none the
worse for this little deviation from
your original course; for, let me as
sure you, the meeting has afforded
me much pleasure. Does the princess
Ulin know who is speaking to herr"
mo, SIR" replied Ulin.
Then she shall know into whose
protecting hand she has had the for
tune Of falling. I am AL Abbas. Does
the name sound familiar"
"No, SIR"
"It is familiar enough to me-" said
Abba.
"Ah. pretty one-and what know
you of it,"
81 have heard the name. sir, when
speech has been made touching a GER
tain Arab robber, whose deeds had
caused him to be feared by honest
travellers"
The rascal seemed pleased with this
remark, and smilingly returned:
"You have hit the truth, my fair
damsel. I am the robber, Al Abbas;
and 7 am a terror to those who fear
to lose their money. But, my dear
lady" he continued. turning to the

herself steady, but her horse noticed
mo- the guiding of her hand. The lead
er OF the party rode in advance; then
Followed two more of the gang; then
came two females; and behind them
followed the others, with the slaves
under charge. Through the wood they
rode at an easy pace, and when they
had gained the open plain beyond they
struck into a swift gallop. Ulin had
discovered to her satisfaction that the
strange horse paid no attention to the
rein, so she only sought to keep an
easy seat. She was weak with fear
and alarm, and all sorts of dreadful
pictures arose to her Imagination as
she sped on. She could not speak with
Abba, for the Gathering of hoofs
drowned her voice. What did it
mean? Where would it end?
On they sped, straight over the plain
on, on, on-without hating or turn
ing-on through the darkness of the
night-on, league after ~league-until
the gray streaks of morning appeared
IN the eastern horizon. Another wood
was before them, and when it was
reached, the party stopped. Not far
distant, where a clump of noble palms
reared aloft their plated foliage. a
crystal spring burst forth from the
green earth, and the Arabs held their
painting horses back from the tempting
beverage.
Now, lady, you may find repose,"
said the leader, as he came and lifted
Ulin from her seat. 1--WE shall re-
main here a few hours. + will be with
you again presently"
He turned and handed Abba to the
ground, and then wen to where his
followers were taking care of Shubal.
Abba, what will they do with us?"
cried the princess, clasping her hands
in terror.
But the bondmaiden could not an
swer. If she held suspicious, she
dared not speak them.
%, wish I had not taken this false
step! 1t is a punishment for my SIM"
Hush, dear mistress. 1t is our fate.
1t is no punishment. Wait until we
know what this Arab means to do
with u.s."
What can he mean" 1t must be
something dreadful. Why has he
taken us away so far? o, Abba, + am
frightened"
mo, no, sweet lady. Have a hope.
They will not kill u.s."
All" murmured the princess, with
folded hands, there may be a fate
from which death would be a happy
escaped"
The bondmaiden shuddered, and
from her thoughts at that moment
she could frame no reply which she
dared to speak aloud.
