Negroes Protest at Presidents Action
In Dlschargne Troops.

Salisbury, N. c., Nov. 17.-At 3
meeting OF the Negro Baptist associa-
tions Of North Carolina, resolutions
denouHcing President Roosevelt for
discharging three companies Of the
Twenty fifth infantry, were adopted.
The body represents constituency
OF 100 900. The resolutions "strenu-
ously protest against the unprecedent-
ed and arbitrary action Of President
Roosevelt in Furnishing the innocent
and guilty alike. No one for mo-
ment believes that these companies
would have been dishonosably dis
missed if they had been composed of
white soldiers.
IF extreme measures had been nec-
essary, this present time of tension
between the races and OF fear, fore
bodlngs, uncertainty, unrest and
heartaches on the part Of the colored
people was the most unpropltious that
could possibly have been found. The
chief executive of great nation has
estranged ten millions OF his hither-
to ardent admirers and supporters,
and It is the voice Of the convention
that committee be appointed to con-
fer with similar committees through
out the country TO take the steps
necessary to have the action of the
president reviewed by the highest tri-
huua1 of tho land

turned down to small blush tongues of fame
He walked along it on tiptoe, and came into an
other and wider corridor, thckly carpeted and
leading to the principal bedrooms of the east
wing
Here he was on known ground, and had no
difficulty in locating the door of the Countess
bedroom. 1t was, he had ascertained many
months previously, the third door from the end
of the corridor
He placed his fingers on the handle and turn
ing it softly opened the door The room was in
total darkness. He entered quickly and, closing
the door behind him, turned the key.
Once in the room and out of the light of the
passage he breathed more securely. He leaned
against the wall and listened, There was abso-
Lutte silence. His hand touched the switch of the
electric light. Then he hesitated. Though he
knew that heaven would applaud his deed, he
had no wish to see the thing he was about to do.
No, she should die there in the darkness. 1t
was a more httlng end 10 ner lte.
He held his breath and listened again He
thought it odd that ne could not hear the sound
of her breathing The sudden thought struck
him that he had perhaps after all, mistaken the
room, or that the family had left Heatherstone
Hall, and that Lady Hetherstone, departing from
her habits of over two years, had gone with
them Olce more he placed his hand upon the
switch, and once more he hesitated
Then he crept stealthiy from the wall, and as
he moved across the soft carpet to the bed he
suddenly noticed that there was strange smell
in the room, sweet, sickly smell like perfume
or the scent of hothouse flowers. For some rea-
son or other it brought back vivid memory of a
scene in his past lifethe 6Sst day he had ever
kissed Marie de la Mothe, He remembered il
we'll She was pinning gardenia in his button
hole
When he reached the edge Of the bed he stop
ped and again listened Then he passed his hand
lightly over the coverlet and discovered that
there was some one lying beneath it. Their he
moved his finger along the recumbent form and
across pair of folded arms, till they touched the
outline of face hidden beneath piece of vel
! vet.
