The Guinness Of Routine.

1t is remarkable how few e or
situations permitting mental exer-
cises there are In our histories; how
little exercised we have been In our

through long, dark, muggy nights or
seasons of gloom. 1t would be well

The necessity of Negroes at all
times realizing the Importance Of
friendship with the southern white
man, the Negroes neighbor and friend,
was stressed by N. S. Adkins in an
address at Shiloh Baptist church,
Houston, Texas, reports the Post Of
that city. Adkins compared the Negro
who seeks betterment in foreign fields
to the crew Of the vessel that was dy-
ing OF thirst when their ship had drift
ed from the ocean into a river of fresh
water. "Whatever sins the South may
be called upon to bear, when it comes
to business, pure and simple, it is in
the South that the Negro is given n
mans chance in the commercial
world" he said. "Our greatest danger
is that in the great leap from slavery
to freedom we may overlook the fact
that the masses of US are to live by
the production of our hands, and that
we fail to keep in mind that we shall
prosper in proportion as we learn to

We must begin and not at the top, nor
should we permit our grievances to
overshadow our opportunities The
white people Of the South who look
to foreign immigrants to help develop
the South, he said, should also cast
down their buckets and take advan-
tage of the opportunities afforded in
assisting the 100000 Negroes of the
South to make the country bloom. "As
we have proved our loyalty TO you in
the past in nursing your children,
watching by the sickbed of your moth
ers and often following them with
tear-dimmed eyes to the grave, so shall
we stand by you in the future with a
devotion that no foreigner can APP
proach," he said, addressing himself
to the white men of the South.

time is less prolific than the white

Of real manhood in you, Bob, you'll
ing you like this-when she needed
you-didn't help her any"
II knowI known The words were
wrung from him like a groan. But
the thing is bigger and stronger than
am. 1t takes both of US together TO
fight it. If she should-leave me, I'd
never pull through and wouldn't
want to-"
Never until she left Loreleis house
and turned toward the white lights of
Broadway lid Adoree Demorest fully
realize whittier her theatrical career
had carried her. Adoree knew herself
to be pure. But the world considered
her evil, and evil in its eyes she would
remain. At this moment she would
gladly have changed places with that
other girl whose life hung in the scales.
John Merkle had never lost interest
in Lorelei, nor forgotten her refusal
of his vell-meant offer of assistance
1t pleased MIN to read into her char
acter beauties and nobilities OF which
she was utterly unconscious If not ac-
tually devoid. Soon after his talk with
Bob he telephoned Hannibal Wharton,
making known the situation in the
most disagreeable and biting manner
Of which he was capable. Strange to
say. Wharton heard him through, then
thanked him before ringing off.
When Hannibal had repeated the
news to his wife, she moved slowly to
a window and stood there staring down
into the glittering chasm of Fifth ave-
nue.. Bob's mother was frail, erect,
impassive woman, wearied and sad
dened with the weight of her husbands
millions. There had been a time when
society knew her, but OF late years
she saw few 1eople, and her name was
seldom mentioned except in connection
with her benefactions. Hannibal Whar-
ton was serenely conscious of her COM
plete accord with his every action, and
in reporting Merkle's conversation he
spoke musingly. as a man speaks TO
/ himself.
John loves to be caustic; he likes
! TO Vocalize his dyspepsia" the old man
muttered. Mrs. Wharton did not stir;

mother.

in ignorance Of the truth, and now,
therefore, the girl had no one to lean
upon except an impractical stage
woman-and a drunken husband. In
Bob's mind the pity of it grew as the
time crept on.
But Adoree Demorest was wonder
full. Despite her inexperience, she was
calm, capable, sympathetic, and, best
of all, her nOrmality afforded a sup
port upon which both the husband and
the wife could rest. When she finally
made herself ready for the street Bob
cried piteOusly:

ties of this business that nothing must

minute the show is over.
"Lorelei needs you"
Adoree nodded; her eyes met Bob's
squarely, and he saw that they were
wet. Her face was tender, and she
appeared very simple and womanly at
this moment. sHer absurd theatrical
ism was gone; she was a natural, unaf-
fected young woman.

To all young fathers there comes a
certain readjuStment OF values. To
Bob, who had always led a selfish.
thoughtless existence, it was at first
bewilderiPg to discover that his place
at the head OF his household had been
usurped by another. Heretofore he had
always been OF supreme domestic i'm
portanee. but now the order of things
was completely reversed, if not hope

came this new person, tiny and vastly
tyrannlcal because of its helplessness.

above the cook and the housemaid. but
not so Bob. Somewhere at the foot of
the list he found his own true place.
