Because Deborah's mind was quick
it all flashed upon her, bowling her in
spirit to the ground. Reuther had
been singed by the knowledge of her
fathers ignominy, she would be con-
sumed if inquiry we're carried further
and this ignominy transferred to the
proper culprit Oliver alone could be
meant. The doubts she had tried to
suppress from her own mind were
shared by others-others!
In FIVE minutes she was crossing the
road, her face composed, her manner
genial, her tongue ready for any en-
counter. The truth must be hers at
all hazards. If it could be found here,
then here would she seek it. Her long
struggle with fate had brought to the
fore every latent power she possessed.

greeting. A dog from the big house

to determine with any degree of accu-

has not, and for the Government to
select about 100000 people and say
that they are Negroes" and by that
act to aid in making them a separate
