CHAPTER vii
The Pass of the Goats.

In the throat of the gorge the sun
close to seven o'clock. Sandy's lean
face was anxious. The girl dropped
In her seat, tired from the long climb,
not yet Injured to the saddle.
Sandy had only once crossed the
Pass of the Goats and that was years
before. There had been washouts
since then. Several times they were
forced to dismount and lead the nerv-
Gus beasts, Sandy doing the coaxing,
helping Molly over the difficult places.
He rode a mare named GOldie and
the girl a bay with a white blaze that
Sandy had chosen for the mountain
work and which had been brought to
them at the lava strip.
The mare halted, neck stretched
out, turning 1t to look inquiringly at
her master. A sharp incline lay ahead,
the path little better than one made
by the goats for which the pass was
named. Behind, Molly's mount fol-
lowed suit, blowing at the dust. Sandy
patted the mares neck and dis
mounted.
"Yo're sure game, Molly" he said
admiringly; "you must be clean tuck
cred out"
She shook her head with an attempt
at a smile.
"I'll be glad when we start goin'
down, fer change" she admitted,
looking into the gloomy trough of the
canyon through which the night wind
soughed.
"Ill tighten up yore cinches," said
Sandy. "Worst of the climbs Jest
ahead. Then we start to drop down
t'0ther side. You don't have to git
off," He tugged at the feathers, his
knee against the bays ribs as she
grunted.
"You amt much furtheh to 90, lii
hawss," he chatted on. "Downhlll all
the way soon, an then drink to

"Gits dark mighty quick up here"

A great cloud was balloonlng above
them, like dirigible that had lost
buoyancy and was humping along the
mesa ridge. Its belly was black, It's
western side ruddy in the sunset.
Sandy viewed 1t apprehensively. The
cloud was soggy with moisture. Burst
ing, it would send torrents roaring
down every ravine, wash out wealth.

Sandy examined his own cinch and
tightened 1t before he mounted. And
he whispered something In the mares
ear that caused her to lip his sleeve.

Molly" he said. I'm lettin' Goldie
do the pickin' TO the lead. ReadyT
It was growing cold in the twilight.
One spire ahead glowed golden. The
cloud drifted down upon it, glooming
and glowing on its sunset side. The
crag pierced it, ripped IT as 1t glided
along, like the knife Of diver in the
belly Of a shark. cold wind blew
from the riven mass. Then came the
hiss of descending waters.
Through the steady patter began to
sound the savage voice of torrents
falling over cliffs, rapids rising and
surgng In deep gorges The wetness
and the cold sapped Molly's vitality.

Class History

In September, 1919, squirmed 70, th
thirty-three awkward, sensitive, shy
Freshies, as green as the grass on
Bunker Hill. We struggled with our
new studies such aS Algebra, Ancient
History and Latin. Then as the year
wore on we completely lost our back
wardness and emerged from it crowd
of full sized ruffians and barbarians.
The next year found us somewhat
more adapted to our environment and
fast believing ourselves to be all-im-
portant. Geometry was bugbear but
we swallowed it and ran out to ath-
letics.
Oh, we were the jolly Juniors, off
to the power house to learn how to
read meters, wind dynamos, etc. This
is not all we did for we tried our skill
at dramatics and from behind the foot
lights Mary won her universal theat-
1ical fame.

Federal Courts to
Pass on Value
Of Amendments
Walton Cohen Heads List With
Large Donation to Keep FL
nance Case in Supreme Court.
(By the Associated Negro Press)

(By the Associated Negro Press
New Orleans, La, Oct. 13.-The
Federal courts viii soon pass on the
question as to the disfranchisement
of Negroes in the South whereby
thousands of taxpayers are deprived
of the right of franchise solely on ac-
count of their color. 1t has been a
notorious fact throughout the entire
South that Negroes have been de-
MED the right to hold Office in the
gift of the people, and that they have
been denied the right to register or
vote, though the state accepts poll
taxes from all who will pay. The late
President Harding appointed Walter
Cohen, Negro, to the important po-
sition as comptroller of the port of
New Orleans over several white op.
ponents, recognizing the coiored man
as a representative of his race. Citi-
zens of New Orleans, as a whole, or
the newspapers in this section, did
not object to any great extent, the
opposition has been filed in Wash
ington by citizens outside the city in
the upstate districts who still retain
the opinions held by their forefathers
of over half century ago. Lately
the New Orleans States, a represen-
tative daily newspaper, recognizing
the rights of the colored man is run
ming series of paid advertisements
which shows the exact status of the
Negro in the South, as regards taxa
ton - without representation - his
business qualifications and the prog
ress made by the race as a whole in
the South, and particularly New Or
leans. With this as basis to work
on, members of the Republican state
central committee met in this city
last week and formulated plans for
Negro representation in the state.
and demand that the Constitution
of the United States cupercede that
of the state of Louisiana, which de-
MES the right of franchise to prac-
tically one-third of the population of
the state. The meeting was largely
attended by white citizens and fund
has been started to take the question
to the highest court in the land.
Walter Cohen headed the list to raise
money to carry the proposition to the
United States Supreme Court with
$3.50, which was speedily followed by
white citizens who recognize the
rights of the colored man in the
South. The state primaries of the
Republican party will be held Janu-
airy Is, at which time 1t is expected
that several colored men will be
placed on the ticket, to represent the
many thousands of Negro voters in
the state.
At the present time thousands of
aliens. mostly Italians, who in many
instances cannot speak the language
of the country, much less pay taxes,
are being naturalized with the inten-
tion of voting them at the coming
state and presidential elections.
