Every day in the week and Sunday

thro' a numerous throng of fraternnl,
church and school officials and dig
lutarIeS of our Race, and of course
multitude of others not known to
fame. The Negro fraternal organi-
zationS of Oklahoma have increased
ir number and membership to such
degree that the direction and con
duct of their affairs require the
constant daily attention of their
numerous officers. The chief off
GERS of the Odd Fellows, the u. b. F.

Grand Master p. M. Delaney put

our reporter an interesting account
OF the remarkable financial achieve
ments of that popular order. For
instance, he reports nearly S1500.OO
collected during January quarter for
endowment, burial and monument
funds. e. M. Delaney spoke, in
feeling terms of the late B. w. Brad

years ago put his hands in his
pockets, advanced nearly $500 and
rescued the order in Oklahoma from
ruin. During his stay here, G. NJ.

women will always remain ignorant
ana Indifferent TO this fact. Many
of us are wide awake and are think
ing although only few of us dare
to express ourselves publicly on this
question.
OF course, | am intelligent enough
t. know the reason for this denun-
citation of the Colored man. One of
the objects is to keep the gap as wide
as possible between the white wo-
man and the colored man. But why
is there little or no effort to widen
the gap between the white man and
the Colored woman? Why are our
men not punished for intimate re-
lations with Colored women? NJ!
This would interfere with white
mems social freedom. Yet they ar
rogate unto themselves the role of
supreme dictator as to the race and
color of men with whom we must
or must not mingle, while they will
brook no interference as to the race
or color of women with whom they
mingle and become intimate.
With all the emphasis at my COM
mand | affirm that the Colored man
is not the unworthy creature that
the press, platform, pulpit. and the
movies have pictured him to be. The
veil of illusion is being gradually
removed from the white women's
eyes"

the memory of Dicky Morgan rest in
peace, and to let the brunt of anger
;M on Henry Hilliard, who was a no.
body from nowhere, with lying face,
"a lying tongue, and no claque to mourn
at his exit.
But then there was Angela's start
ling allegation She had declared
that Everybody" in town knew all
about HiIliard and Carol. EVERY
body" would have a different opinion.
He had tried to explain himself to
Carol, and he had failed; and in the
light of Angela's revelation, it was diff
ficut to decide whether Carol herself,
in protesting that she wanted to re-
tain him as a friend, had meant that
and nothing more, or that and q great
deal more. But no matter what she
had intended to convey, he dared not
go to her again, he dared not see her
and speak to her, for if he lied to her
but he couldn't lie to her now,
and every word Of truth would prove
a boomerang. He was trapped and
although his heart was breaking for
the love he had almost won a second
time, he remained steadfast to the
ideals he had created. If Carol were
to lose him as a sutton, she should new
er know that her first and foremost
sutton had gone TO the devil.
He told himself fercely there was
one definite and permanent way out
of it, Nobody would then have
cause to gossip about Dicky Morgan !;
no One-after the first natural flood Of
excitement and denunciatiOn--wou
remember very much about Henry
Hilliard. 1t would save such deal of
needless trouble; it would save such a
wearisome amount of shame.
But against the pitiless background
of the war, self-destruction as a means
Of avoiding personal difficulties, self
caused, seemed curiously repellent-
curiously cheap.
No it was a part of his own
grievance that Carol and the others
must grieve, too; he had dual re-
sponsibility to society. He had no
right to leave these matters cl0uded by
any uncertainty Of motive. Syracuse
had a right to know the facts; and if
the facts brought pain to those he
loved, why, that was something he
should have thought about In June,
and not in November.
AS he chung cOmfortless to the last
slipping hours Of the reputation he
had so carefully builded, he knew that
it wasn't the punishment Of the law
that he dreaded, it was the Ostracism
which would accompany it. It wasn't
his own shame which gripped him, it
was the consciousness Of the Shame
which would attach to his friends.
And so, for a day or two, all his fac
ulties were strung upon the attitude
of the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
of adverse demeanOr, and bracing him
self for the shock which was unaVOid-
ably to come. For secrets will out,
and although he had no reason to ex-.
pect Waring to break his pledge, he
knew that when rumor smolders

ment in which it bursts forth in spon-

CHAPTER XIII.

In the colorless days that followed,
Hilliard listlessly set about the order
ing Of his final plans. Fortunately,
there were few of them; his mind
would never have been equal to intri-
cate detail.
1t was a slight consolation to him to
realize that the city had habit of
judging men by personal rather than
by financial standards; for all it's
pride,and wealth, it would censure him
more for his wrecked personality than
for whatever money losses he had
caused. He was prepared to endure
that censure; and because he under
stood the provocation behind it, he
was all the more eager to aid in the
salvage. There would be more saved

The earliest mention of diving is
made by Homer, about $50 B. c., In
the "Illad," when Patroclus compares
the fall of Hectors charioteer to a
diver diving for oysters; and Thucy-

move submarine barriers placed with
the object Of impeding or injuring
the Grecian fleet at the siege of SYRIA

save a stone to carry them quickly to

brief period, about two minutes they
