CAVALIER OF THE DESERT
With Good Horse and a Good Voice
Life Was Sweet to All Of the
r Sons OF Freedom.

All was a son OF the sheik, and was
handsome young cavalier. although
the. desert sun had burned him all
most as black as negro. His
costume was that. Of regular. Turk
ish soldier-a dirty blue coat with
furnished brass buttons, dirtier blue
trousers Just short enough to show
considerable amount Of dirty brown
ankle above the dirty yellow slippers.
But, as free son of the desert All
refused to wear the fez of Turkish
supremacy, and bound his flowing kaf-
uyyeh with the horsehair ring Of the
Arabs. A long scimitar, inland with
silver and gold, clattered bravely
against the saddle-bags, and rain
bow-hued sash was stuck full of an
tique pistols and short. sharp knives

, that the younger woman might be
, considered white woman and make
career for herself or become the
wife of a white man Of wealth and po-
sition.
Detectives who Investigated the

girl was John Moon, white man,
once the policy king" of Baltimore.
/ When the daughter was born and ap-
/ peared destitute of indications of ne
gro blood, her mother conceived the
plan OF bringing her up as white
child. The father agreed to this plan
and provided literally for the two.
When he died twelve years ago Moon
left his daughter property in Balti-
more valued at $4,000 and left $4,000
in cash for the mother.
The girl proved to have an excel
lent voice and her mother planned a
grand opera career for her Most OF

pended in giving the girl a musical ed

went to Philadelphia so that they

AUGUSTA, Georgia, September %.
Especial to The Advertiser Mar
tial law ruled in Augusta today as. a
result of last night It's disorders, in
which two men were killed and one
wounded bv state militiamen guarding
property of the local street railway
company, whose employees are on
strike.
Five companies of Georgia national
guardsmen were on duty. The fifth
company arrived here early today and
was placed on duty around the railway
power plant. 1t was in this territory
that "dead line' was established
by the militia last night and in which
the shooting of three persons occurred.
The dispatch of additional guards
men was ordered by Governor Brown
late last night after he was notified
that the situation was critical.
Governor Brown issued proclama-
ton declaring the city to be in a state
of instruction and ordering martial
law proclaimed.
Alfred Dorm and Robert Christie,
who were killed, and Ben @. Baker,
who was wounded, are Augusta bust
nessmen. Christie was driving an au'
tomobile and the other two men were
in carriage when they crossed the
Ndead line" near the power house.
Not until the early hours today was
quiet restored. The immediate cause
of the strike was the objection to GER
tain rules of the company.
Strike leaders say the company
seeks to destroy the union.
