DALLASITES AND AFRICA.

DALLAS1TES within the past six
months have been hosts to two men
seeking to improve Africa by means
Of the gifts OF their people intAm-
erica These men Marcus GarveS and
Bishop W. Sampson Brooks bore
messages which differed from each
other as widely as the character Of
the reception accorded them by the
people Of our city.
Carney, breathing conquest and
the doctrine of power by night
spoke to bare handful of people
and made few or no converts to his
gorgeous and fantastic project And
this reception was his despite the
fact that both north and south be
had been hailed for many months
as s'the Negro Moses. =
Bishop Brooks appeared among
rs last Sunday. He spoke OF a
heather and benighted Africa In
need o. schools and teachers and
physicians. He told of his building
already complete which is to begin
the mental an physical redemption
of this land. peopied by kindred
races of ours.
Huge crowds heard Bishop Brooks
Three collections FOR his work to-
tailed $4,000. He was warmly
welcomed. s1Iis message of con
structive effort and practical re-
demption was effective.
Thus did Dallas choose the meth
cd in which she has faith. Her re-
fusal Of Carney did not mean a
lack Of interest in africa. Her warm
welcome of Bishop Brooks proved
this hle
Thus SIZE proved her sanity and
guaranteed her ability to help tan
gibly in things worth while.
Dallas believes that Africa will be
redee ed. But she also believes that
that redemption will be wrought by
schools and training rather than by
bombast. blood and Il ln.

CHAPTER ELEVEN.
A ThunderbOlt.


The vice gang trial was over. The
minor members OF the gang had re-
ceiyed their sentences and had been
taken away to serve them. The ring
leaders. Broder and Wardell, had
escaped. but they would dare show
themselves again within the border
of New Jersey. BY the absolute fear
lessness of one man, the most power
full nest of corruption in the state
had been kicked and catered into
nothing.
Clarewood's victory was the most
smashing ever won by a district attor-
ney in the history of the state; on
lesser achievements, men had been
lifted to the governorship, the nation
al senate, even to the Presidency. No
man had ever been so rapid ly ele-
waited as John Clarewood might have
been, had not that diary been printed
and acknowledged by him, as the
truth. Clarewood was the best man
for the governorship, but he stood
branded as a Negro. His praises re-
sounded from every editorial page
in the North, letters of congratulation
poured in upon him by the hundred
but, he was Negro. His former club
mates and society friends, thanked
God for him, and prayed God to
make them like unto him-except
that he was Negro-but they did
not ask him back into their clubs
and homes. His life had been torn
by the roots; only his chauffeur re-
NAMED. And the chauffeur was a
Negro.
Clarewood was not worried, for
after his night of agony and his loss
of Virginia, social honors looked
small and cheap. He only wanted to
resign his position, sell his property
and go away. He was full of this
plan one day as he was on his way
home from the office His car had
broken down and he walked the rest
of the way, passing through the street
he had known since his infancy. HOW
dear they seemed, how hard to leave
behind!
AS he neared his house, he was
surprised to see taxicab in front OF
it. He looked at the veranda, but
there wa no visitor awaiting him
there, He turned to the cabman.

"A gentleman, sir"
But there's no one in the house

Clarewood rushed up the walk and
took the steps with one leap. Then
he paused, A mans voice, raised in
angry command, came from the
living room.

They were about to take a step

warning, the mountain did a most
outrageous thing. 1t swung slowly
