see II there are other women VINO look

as she. Usually she finds more than
one pair Of eyes focused upon the pic
ture of feminine loneliness she pre-
sents
Very few women enter deliberately
into folly. They are most always
drawn into it by slow degrees. 1t isn't

that's the end of it. II she casts a
peep again, and yet again, to note If
the fascinating stranger is regarding
her intently, the mischief has begun
to brew. Should she see woman she

q vain woman as victim manages by
hook or crook to secure an introduce

The woman's opinion Of him

tells her he is alarmed to sec her with
such costly gems on the street. He
begs to call cab, to see her safely
home. Many a:foolish' woman has &C.
cepted such an offer to her undoing.
He keeps up such lively conversation
that she does not know or notice the

big business among Negroes. Thomp-

no color line is drawn in the market
against his IL and 14-ounce Alberta

him the value of remaining quietly at
work and of producing among other
crops peaches that can't be beat"

years old, who was born in Baltimore
October II, 1915, the son OF Richard
Allen and Jane Wilson, is thought to
be the oldest colored man in Boston.
He lives at Hope place OF North
Russell sereet, West end.
"It<was only the other day l made
up my mind to tell my life story, for
wanted to wait until l was 100 years
old, .but everybody that comes to see
me Said l ought to tell it now" said
Mr.. Allen, who. in spite OF his age,
looks well, sleeps we'll and is without
a pain or ache, except once in a great
while when he has slight attack Of
rheumatism.
Mr.. Allen told the Globe reporter all
about his war record, as well as his
early life when he was very cruelty
treated GA farm FIVE miles out from
the city Of Baltimore. His story is as
follows:
My grandfather. grandmother and
mothers two sisters were stolen from
Africa and brought to Baltimore and
sold in the Woodfork jail
"A sea captain by the name of
George Thompson bought them and
set my grandfather and grandmother
free. My mothers two sisters were
in the service of the captains wife for
% years.
After my mother was set free l
was born. My mother bound me to
her mistress until l was twenty-one
years old. Her mistress name was
Elizabeth Southcomb. and her hus-
bands name was John Plummer
Southcomb.
In 1924 Captain Southcomb was
lost at sea. / was put out with an
other man named Johnson-a white
man, of course-in 1927.
Il endured great hardship while
with him, for he treated me very
creully. / stayed with him until 1885.
He often came home drunk and abused
me.
Once he came home from the city.
and being enraged at something that
happened to him, he took revenge out
of me. This time he locked me up in a
smokehouse for an hour 1t was in the
month OF August, and it was the hot
test day that summer.
He made a fire in the smokehouse.
He called an old lame man named
Stepney and told him was baking to
death in the smokehouse Then he
opened the door and called for me to
come out, but didn't come out fast
enough to please him.
He had an idea that Mr.. Stepney
would highly approve OF his cruel &C
ton of me, but he didn't. Instead
Mr.. Stepney and Johnson got into an
argument, Stepney telling him he had
no right to treat me in such a cruel
manner. Mr.. Stepney, as result Of
the argument, struck old man John
son several blows, knocking him
down.
Il was a small boy when l became
free, and started out to make my own
living. / have been with all kinds OF
people in my years, bad and good
with sailors, gamblers, thieves and
have been with the very best people
