LETTER TO POWERS & REYNOLDS,
StarkviIle, Miss.

Dear Sir: Hers tale with a
point to it. Frorida is the hard
est state in the Union for paint.
Gilmore & Davis Co. Tallahas-
see, Florida, think they know
what paint can do in their
climate; they've been painting
for 35 years, Devoe ten years;
and they say Devoe wears 1O
vears-their words are: Build.
lngs we painted Devoe 10 years
ago are in good condition OF
paint today"
They also say lead. and. oil
wears only one year there; Devoe
10 years!
Ten years is long lifetime
for paint in Florida; longer than
90 in Maine. We don't dare say
that either is true as a general
fact in those States; but there
are such instances.
If we seould call the cost OF
Deyoe in Florida half OF the
usual cost of paint, it would be
too much; we suppose it's about
one third; there is so much trash
there-the costliest paint is the
worst, and the worst is the cost
liest everywhere.
Yours truly

Miscegenation is Advoc Gated

Special to The Commercial Appeal.
CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-"Shall
the white race intermarry with
the negro, or sh all the blacks be
permitted to rule the Southern
states in which they are numer-
ous?"
These startling alternatives,
suggested as solutions of the neg
70 question by Prof. Zueblin OF
the University of Chicago in an
address delivered at the chapel
exercises of the school of educ "a
tion today, have caused a pro-
found difference of opinion at the
Midway school.
"Intermarriage or segregation
are the only possible remedies
for the race question" said Prof.
Zueblin. Either give the negro
the right to rule in the districts
where they are most numerous,
or break down the barriers of
race by intermarriage.
Take Mississippi or South
Carolina, for instance. Let the
black men rule these states.
That does not necessarily mean
that all the white men must be
driven out, but that the black
men, who are in the numerical
majority, must be given the pow
er to which their votes entitle
them.
"By segregation I do not mean
the placing of the colored race in
a place where no white man can
intrude, but I mean to allow the
negro to have a voice in the set
Element of affairs. The negro
should have something to say
about the government that rules
over him."
But Professor. cit can't, 1T
can't be done in Mississippi and
South Carolina. It looks like
it is about time for our Southern
people to seek other Universities
than that of Chicago.

CHAPTER XIII,

1t was in the winter of 1900 that my
fathers health began to fail. In the
May of the following year 1 returned
from my school near Paris, and instead
of entering at Girton, as my father had
previously arranged, became his secre-
tary. l was then just eighteen. l did
the very best 1 could, and in his dear,
kind way, he made me forget my mis-
cries at the endless blunders l commit
ted. You see, there were only we two;
for my mother died shortly after I was
born, and l was their only child. We
saw few people at our little house, which
was on the Trumpington road, just out
side Cambridge. Ladies 1 met would
often pity me for the dull and lonely life
l led, and that used to make me very
angry. We were never dull or lonely,
my dear father and l.

In my narrative of the pursuit of Prof.
Rudolf Marnac, it will have been observ-
ed that Fortune had been cold to us. In
the incident which l now relate we were
to some extent more favored; for though
our supreme object was not achieved, we
were yet enabled to save the life of her
who is dearest to me in all the world.
l have told you of the homicidal ma
MIA which fell upon the professor,
and of the series of events which caused
my cousin, Sir Henry Graden, the emil
nent scientist and explorer to be asso-
ciated with Heidelberg student. as
then was, in an effort to contrive his cap
ture. How we failed to bring about the
murderer's arrest in Poland, through the
stupidity of a forest guard, l have al
ready explained. BY the time / had
obtained my release, Marnac had again
disappeared. A linguist we'll provided
with money, and on all points but one
perfectly sane, had no difficulty in finding
refuge in the cities of Europe.
l have been in some doubt as to the
best means of briefly describing the pres
ent incident. Miss Mary Weston, with
whom l discussed the matter, at once
offered to place her diary at my disposal.
Upon its perusal l suggested that she
should herself extract the necessary
items, adding such introduction and ex-
planatory notes as seemed necessary TIC
this she has very kindly consented; and
the first portion of this remarkable story
l therefore leave in her hands.

Reski rode on.
The man who had shouted flashed by
me, travelling at an easy gallop. He was
dressed in neat green uniform and
carried a drawn revolver.
Reski rode on.
1t was all over In a moment. The
stranger cried another warning, to which
the Pole answered with a snarl over his
shoulder. The next instant there was
sharp report, and Reski's horse pitched
forward. throwing his rider clear. He
was then scarcely thirty yards from Mar
macs sleigh.
The Pole was not hurt apparently, Tor
despite his injured arm he scrambled to
his feet In an instant. But he had lost
his revolver in his fall and was helpless.
he began furious explanation In his ma
tional tongue, dropping the hated Ian
guage of his Teuton conquerors.
Speak In German, you Polish dog!'
growled his captor, and then turning on
me as rode up
Here, you," he said, 'dismount and
stand by your accomplish. If you resist,

l obeyed. From his manner he was
without doubt a policeman. Also l re-
spect the. law.
Now, you," he said, addressing me,
explain, If you can, who is that man
you shot and left in the broken sleigh
down yonder. Remember, it is against
1 you that you have already tried to es-
cape and refused to surrender"

l cried, pointing to Marnac's sleigh, now
rapidly vanishing. I'VE were chasing
him. Go after him at once, or he will
get away"
The policeman laughed long and loud.

of a Pole here has been in mischief
without doubt; and you. you who are

it is no wonder that together they hatch

1t was no use to make a further ap
peal. Reski had seen that already. Side
by side we tramped through the snow
with our captor and his ready pistol be
hind us. In half an hour we had reach
ed the village we had seen ahead, anC
were lodged in a cell UNANIMOUSLY damn
and cold. All communication with oul
friends was refused till the arrival o.

from his chest and glared across at me

said. There is great choice of trains
1t was true enough. Marnac had es
