army of friends, among men and
women, of all races.
She has further acquired the art
of looking on the bright side of life,
and deeply sympathizing with those
who are in trouble or who are en-
quilted in a great sea of sorrow, and
with a bright, shining and ever smil-

These are some of the many traits,
which have assisted TO make her
extremely popular with a large num-
Der of business men and women in
the downtown district and endeared
her name to many others, residing
in all sections of this city.
At all times, she has conducted
herself in a straightforward business
manner, and the finger of suspicion
has not been pointed at her, in re-
lation to unwomanly conduct like it
has at some others, who have in the
past attempted to do business in the
loop district.

No other Afro-American in this
city has accomplished what he has
accomplished in such a short space
of time along these lines.
1t is, therefore, our firm opinion
that Mr.. Binga's up-to-date and
straightforward business method
has greatly raised the majority OF
the Afro-American business men in
this city who have any dealings with
the banking institutions. in the est

Mr.. Campbell ceased talking and
the deep earnestness that had settled
on his face passed, leaving instead
the blank. inscrutable mask Of be-
nevolence behind which his clock-lika
genius was habitually hidden. The
choleric blue eyes of the president
Of the United States shifted inquir.

OF h secretary of state at his right,

the official family was gathered. It

Campbell. and for more than an hour
he had done the talking. There had
been no interruption.

Quite right" The prince laughed.
And at three o'clock, by your
watch, the mine will be fired by a
wireless operator fifteen miles from

"Something like that; yes. very
much like that" assented the prince.
Thank you. I merely wanted to
understand it." Mr.. Grimm pulled a
chair up against the door and sat
down, crossing his legs. On his knees
rested the barrel of a revolver, gilt

and Mr.. Grimm permitted his ewes to
