ESTELLE'S STORY.

AT the invitation of Haviland,
Fleming Stone was a house guest
at Garden Steps. Pauline had
raised objections to this, but with
Carr Loria's authority back of
him, Gray had insisted, and Paul
inc unwillingly consented.
Stone himself recognized the.
fact that Pauline disliked him, or
at any rate disliked having him
on the case, but he ignored it and
showed to her the same gracious
manner and pleasant attitude that
he showed to all. Anita, on the
other hand, seemed charmed with
Stone. She lost no opportunity to
talk to him, and she used every
endeavor to attract his attention
to herself. In fact, she tried to
flirt with him, and, much to the
surprise of the others, Stone
seemed ready to meet her ad-
vances and respond to them.
The morning after his arrival,
breakfast over, Stone announced
his intention of making a thor
ough examination of Miss Car
rington's rooms, and asked that
he be permitted to 60 alone for
the purpose.
IF MI. Hardy comes, send him
up, he ordered, as Haviland un-
locked the door to give him adj
mittance. >:..
Stone passed through the bou-
doir to the bedroom and from that
to the elaborate dressing room and
bath. Quickly he noted the OBJ
vious details. Everything had
been left practically untouched,
and his rapid, trained gaze took
in the bed, turned down but not
slept in; the toilet accessories laid
ready in the bathroom; and the
fresh, unused towels, that proved
the unfortunate victim had not
prepared to retire, but had, for
some reason, donned her Jewels
at that unusual hour.
Back to the boudoir Stone went
and made there more careful scru-
tiny. Carefully he examined the
white dust Of powder on the floor.
At Hardy's orders, this had not
been swept away, and Stone
stood, with folded arms, looking
at it. He saw the place where the
powder had been smeared about,
he had been told Of this-but
he saw other places where faint
footprints were to his keen eye
discernible. MOI sufficiently clear
to judge much Of their character
istics, but enough to show that a
stockinged foot had imprinted
them. ~.
"Well, what do you make of the
tracksf" asked Hardy, coming in
upon his meditations.
"Their tale is a short one, but
clear" returned Stone, smiling a
greeting to the younger detective.
"As you see, they go out of the
room, only, they don't come in"
"ProvingY"
"That the intruder came in at
the door, accomplished his dread
full purpose, and then, stepped
around here in front Of his vic
ltim-here where the powder ia
split, and then went straight out
of the room. Why did he do
this?" o.
"He heard something to
brighten him OFF,. .rap.s AZ ,
"He saw something that fright
ened him. l. doubt if he heard
anything. But he dropped his
blackjack and fled. Did you
bring the photographs of the
scenef"

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity
(From the Christian Register.)


A circular sent out to employers in
large city, calling attention to the
number and quality of young colored
men trained in the schools of the city,
and asking cooperation and counsel
in making their services available,
brought one reply which though anony-
nous is significant of an opinion still
widely influential Kindly send them
to Africa, instead of mixing them
with u.s." AS the expression of an in.
dividual desire these two points are of
course admissible, but as practicable
measures it is curious that any intelli-
gent person should seriously entertain
them. Does any one suppose that the
colored population of the United
States could be sent to Africa, or that
II they were sent they would 20? So
long as they are here, and have al
ready been mixing for more than a
century, and have the rights of citi-
zenship, including the right to die with
white men for their country, is it any
reckonable menace to Responsibility
and intrinsic leadership to open a few
more industrial doors to their proved
abilities and usefulness? While we
write, a moving-van is unloaded by
two white men and one colored man.
The colored man is the boss. the
white men take his orders. There is
not the least trouble about it. There
would never be trouble if it were not
made by people of the temper of the
anonymous director.

the whole state, have been very
actlVe in the matter of petitioning
the state Legislature to take action
IN the way of presenting a memorial
to Congress asking for the imme
date passage of the Susan B. An

fragists of Minnesota are convinced
that they will be unable to secure
the passage of the amendment in the

ROOSEVELT-AMERIcAN.

Theodore Roosevelt, former presi.
dent Of the United States, universally
considered as 'the most typical Amer.
lean, is dead and the civilized world
bows in homage.
So many things have been written,
so many tributes have been paid to the
greatest man the country has pro-
duced since Lincoln that there is lit
tie left for the editor of a weekly
newspaper to say.
There is one point which ought to
be especially emphasized and that is
Roosevelt's intense, robust American
ism. He had little respect for the
man, whether American or foreign,
who sought to segregate himself from
his fellow citizens.
The following paragraphs are from
his last public plea for Americanism,
which we publish in full in another
column and which should be read and
taken to heart by every one who
claims to be an American:
1T is an outrage to discriminate
against any man because of creed or
birthplace or origin. But this is pred
I1cated upon the mans becoming in
very fact an American, and nothing
but an American.
If he tries to keep segregated with
men OF his own origin and separated
from the rest of America, then he isn't
doing his part as an American. There
can be no divided alliance at ALL"

END AUTOCRACY OF COLOR
Asks Editor of THE APPEAL in an Appeal Wired to
President Wilson the Eve of His
Departure for Peace Table,
calls Color Line Greater Menace to Permanent World
Peace Than Hun Mitarism Just Overthrown
Asks President to Aid the Oppressed of All Nations
Races, Colors, Creeds and Sex in Realizing
Liberty, Fraternity and Equality

Saint Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2, 1918.
To the President,
White House,
Washington, D. c.
Sir:
Now that the world war is over and
military autocracy has been doomed,
l appeal to you as the representative
OF the United States at the Peace
Table, to demand the abolition of that
greater menace to the peace of the
world, THE AUTOCRACY OF COLOR.
Through the centuries the colored
races OF the globe have been subjected
to the most unjust and inhuman treat
ment by the so-called white peoples.
Every atrocity which the Huns have
inflicted on the helpless white peoples
OF the world during the four years of
war now ending, has been suffered by
the colored peoples of the world for
more than four hundred years.
In the recent war the colored races
have furnished as many men as the
white races have supplied, if the labor
and hght1ng units are both counted,
and now that victory has been won,
1t is but just that the color line which
has hampered the progress of the COL
ored peoples, should be abolished at
once. Not only that, but the op-
pressed of the white race should be
delivered from oppression.
Mr.. President, I shall endeavor to
outline program which should meet
the approval of every believer in world
democracy:
l. Home rule for Ireland.
z. Home rule for India.
3. Home rule for all colonies which
desire 1t.
4. Self-determination for the people
OF all countries, in which the people
are practically all of one race or ma
t1onality and yet dominated and op-
pressed by few of a different race or
nationality.
5. The former German colonies to
become republics under the protection
OF the League of Nations. These peo-
pie are as capable of self-government
as the people of Russia, Germany, Tur-
key, or the Balkan States.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

The meeting of the Colored Liberty
Congress at Washington, D. c., re-
Gently, brings to mind the old adage,
Eternal Vigilance is the Price of
Liberty" Many people seem to have
forgotten this old and trite saying.
The colored people who are not only
surrounded by enemies who are try
ing to undo them and fitch from them
their rights as Americans, should re-
member that there is a far more stni-
ster and unprincipled foe within.
1t is the foe within which Is more
dangerous than the foe without, whose
moves are usually open and above
board. On the contrary the foe within
Is rank coward, ickspittle and a
sneak, and often spreads his poison
when no one of the race is near.
A large number of the "negroes"
as they almost invariably call them
selves, who solicit money for segre-
gated schools and other institutions
are traitors Of the deepest dye. Ad-
mitted, grinning, to the private Office
OF some white philanthropist, in order
to reach his pocket-book, they belittle
the colored people and tell him that
the race favors segregation. For
every dollar they collect a thousand
dollars worth of harm is done.
1t is we'll for colored men and
women to meet publicly often and pro-
test against the many wrongs they
are forced to endure, and give the lie

That Suffragan Bishop is a Scare

st. Paul, MIMI, Jan. FL, 1919.
Editor THE APPEAL:
wish I were able to state in a.
few words the full meaning of each
ana every Office in the Christian
church which lead up to the term of
Bishop. Many of them are not only
misunderstood but as we'll mis-ap-
piled. l have in mind at this writ
ing the word ''Suffragan" as applied
TO Bishop, and it is not so much
TO correct an erroneous interpreta-
ton as to enlighten an editor who
attempted to write an editorial upon
a subject of which he seems to pos
sess little or no ecclesiastical knowl-
edge.
THE APPEAL has recently pub
hshed and perhaps is still running
IN us columns an editorial referring
to the Rt. Reverend Edward Thomas
DENLY, duly consecrated a Bishop in
the Episcopal Church and is now act
ing IN the capacity of Suffragan
Bishop to the Diocese of Arkansas.

word ''suffragan' means 'segre-
gated,' and the word SEGREGATED
means, to him, "drawing the color
line. 10 read the article is quite
necessary in order to grasp the full
extent OF its ridiculous purport.

state the following facts:
There are three, and only three
distinct Orders of ordination in the
Episcopal Church. They are
Bishops, Priests and Deacons. All
OF whom are equally empowered in
their several distinctions.
There are sub-titles used to dis
tlngulsh them while engaged in GER
tain work of the Church. For ex-
ample, Priest in charge of Parish
IS called a Rector; when in charge
OF a school or an administrative sec
ton he is called a Dean; if in charge
OF "a Chapel he is called a. Vicar;
while in charge of a Mission he is
known as Priest-in-charge, etc.
He is at all times, however, a
Priest and his special duties neither
takes from nor adds to his authority
as Priest.
so with the Order of Bishops. A
missionary Bishop has a missionary
district and may be working in con-
junction with one or more Bishops
and, as Bishop, he is equal in author
lty to all other Bishops.
A Diocese is portion of a state,
an entire state or, as the case may
De, a part of several states presided
over by Bishop. In many Dioceses
the work is too great for one Bishop
or his health prevents full activity,
In either of which cases he has one
