CHAPTER XIV.
The Curtain FaHs,

Bronzed by months of scouting on
those northern plains, a graver. older
look upon his face, and the bars of q
captain grazing the shoulders of his
new cavalry Jacket, Donald Brant
trotted down the stage road bordering
the Bear Water, his heart alternating
between hope and dread.
The familiar yellow house at the
crossroads appeared so unattractive
a. to suggest the thought that Nadia
must have been inexpressibly lonely
during those months Of waiting. He
knocked at the sun-warped door.
q vision of flushed face and snowy
drapery confronted him.
why, Lieut.. Brant! l was never
more surprised in my life. Do. pray,
come right in. Yes, Nadia Is here,
and I will have her sent for at once.
oh, Howard, this Is Lieut.. Brant, just
back from his awful Indian fighting.
How very nice that he should happen
to arrive just at this time, isn't it,"
The young officer silently accepted
Mr.. Wynkoop's extended hand, and
found a convenient chair. as Miss
Spencer hastened from the room to
his arrival.
Why Just at this timer" he ques.

berly.
There was . rustic at the inner
door, and MAZDA stood there. Their
eyes met, and the color mounted
swiftly to the girls cheeks. Then he
stepped resolutely forward, ~forgetful
Of all other presence, and clasped her
hand in both his own. Neither spoke
a word, yet each understood some
thing of what was In the heart of the
other.

MIR. TAFT TO THE NEGROES.
lie Will Treat Black Americans Ex-
actly AS if They Were White
Americans

In the clear, frank, unequivocal
style taht characterizes his every ut
terance, William II. Taft told dele
cation Of Negroes from the Baptist
Conference in Cincinnati his exact
position in regard to the race. He
said:
All that | can say to you is that
when get into the White House, as
Stunning that | am to be put there, no
any less consideration because he is
Negro, than if he were a white
man.
You are Americans as. I am. The
starry flag that is mine is yours
Many of our race have laid down
your lives for it,
Mr. Taft impatiently spurned the
proposal, conceived in slavery times,
but which has survived slavery in
the minds of many well meaning but
shortsighted phiianthropists, that
the Negro should go back to Africa.
He looks at the American Negro as
having the same right here as the
American white man, and he added
that the fact that that the ancestors
of the American Negro of today were
brought by force from their native
home, made it only the more incum-
bent on white Americans to see that
the Negro is protected in all his
rights.
That Mr.. Taft means just what he
say his whole career bears evidence.
and II is only justice to tile Negro to
assume that he will receive the sup
port of the cOlored race in his cleo
ton to the high position which will
enable him to carry into effect the
honorable and high-minded views
which he has so freely and unreserv-
cdly expressed
