An aristocratic face is usually synonymous
with homely face.
Most people think it not wrong to do any,
thing on the Sabbath that is not wrong to do

The prevalence of the blues is largely due

THE DIVA'S RUBY" which starts run

THE DIVA'S RUBY" which starts running
serially in THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE section
next Sunday. March IS. was written by Mr..
Crawford expressly for this publication. The
arrangements for such story were made with
Mr.. Crawford personally when he was in Amer
lea last summer, and he began work upon it
while his steamship was still in sight of Sandy
Hook. 1t was completed in September.
Fair Margaret. the charming prima donna
of two earlier tales, is still the young and ever
delightful heroine of this story. But Fair
Margaret is not permitted to shine alone; for
an Oriental beauty from far Tashkent is in
troduced in the thrilling chapter with which
brunette vies with the fair heroine in action
traying in the guise of fiction the vastly differ
ent ways in which the divine passion is re-
vealed in the Anglo-Saxon and the Oriental
types, he could not have hit upon a happier
delineation than THE Diva's Ruby affords
for as these two women contrasted, so
are the two principal male characters in the
story-Van Torp, the American Nickel Trust
magnate, and Logotheti. the Greek fnan-
cier.
From the thrilling adventure in the Tartar
ruby mine with which the story opens. clear
to the wild and exciting steam yacht race in
the Mediterranean. there is not scene or an
incident that will not be indelibly impressed
the mind of every reader. And for many
readers there is a scene in Beyreuth at Par
sifal' performance that will stand forth as in
comparable in all the world of fiction.
The Diva's Ruby" in short, is story that
cannot, will not, be forgotten.

all who had to do with producing the drama.
1t was a striking souvenir of the play that the
Divine Sarah" had asked Marion Crawford
to write for her, and which, when produced in
Paris. was an immediate and great success.
AS dramatist Mr. Crawford has another side
which might be dwet upon to his credit.
That is a story by itself
But there is still another side to this versa
tile genius. and that is as a historian. He
feels that he is now engaged in what he be-
ieveS will be his most important work, namely.
history of Rome in the Middle Ages. But it
may be surmised that an author who has had
published thirty-eght novels, of which over
two million copies have been sold, is not likely
to break himself of the habit.
Sympathy from Stevenson
THE Bookman" recently brought to light
an unpublished letter from Robert Louis
Stevenson. dated at Sydney, New South

interest. 1t was written in the spring of 1890.

persons were injured and two score
Of houses, mostly occupied by ne
groes, were burned last night as the
result of an attempt by mob to

LEWIS JOHNSON, II years old.
JAMES SCOTT, 70 years old.
VIM. BURTON, colored, lynched.

The rioting was precipitated by
an assault committed early yester-

residence street, awaiting the re.
turn of her husband, the man broke
into her house, dragged her into

crime. The victim partially identi-

gathered about the Jail. but Sheriff
Werner's force and the police were
able to preserve order until night
fall without difficulty.
Shortly after 5 o'clock success
full ruse was worked by the authori-

away to safety in Peoria. With him
was taken another negro charged
with attempted assault and murder.

FRESH OUTBREAK.

Night riders are again in operation
in this county. Last night they
burned the barn and stable of lobe
Roberts, a farmer and former school
teacher on the east side of the coun-
t.. Soldiers were on the scene, but
got there too late to be of any GER
vice. The reason for the burning of
Roberts barn is mystery, for all
along he has been a strong associa-
ton man. Only last week he re-
fused to help his uncle thresh wheat
because he refused to join the asso-
citation. All along he is said to have
opposed Judge Wells in the bringing
here of the troops by HIM, hut last
night he telephoned for them imme-
diately after he discovered the fire
on his place. Only telephone mes
sages can be received from his place,
and it is not known whether he re-
cognized any of them. Bloodhounds
have been brought here and every
effort made to run down the guilty
parties.

Mr.. Smith gave him the countersign
of the night riders and that Judge
Cook was also a member of the order.
DR.. Berry told Mr.. Sexton and Mr..
Sexton told Mr.. Whitnell, and that
is how the report became circulated,
so DR.. Berry said today, talking to
the Times correspondent.
County Attorney Barnett opposed
a written report. He advised the
members of the jury to dismiss the
subject when he found that the evil
dence did not warrant an indictment.
The investigation was thorough
and complete" said Mr.. Barnett,
and the evidence did not warrant
an indictment. There were general
rumors of Judge Cooks and Mr..
Smiths sympathies being with the
night riders, but there was no proof
connecting them with the lawless
element. | opposed a written re-

them one charging Kelsie Kirk, Clay
