foreign governments, especially, take
the question of an oil supply more
seriously thar we do at home.
Its about time that all our people
quit snarling at each other about
fancied abuses in the oil industry
and got together, took stock of the
whole situation and found out just
where we stood and could stand in
case some great calamity like the
recent world war overlook us.
Ten years ago If some one had told
us hat we in this land of plenty
should ever be short of wheat he
would have been looked on as a fit
subject for some physcopathic hos
pital, but the shortage did come dur
ing the war and we were told tina it
was a patriotic duty" to divide ma
terials that we had looked on as ofal,
with the pigs.
History should teach us what might
happen in the future, for after all
experience is only the ability to guess
what will happen by what has hap
pened. OF course we got through
all the problems of the war when
it did come but what about the cost
of ives and treasure that might have
been avoided If we had been a trifle
more prepared.

battling with a frenzied parade OF
rapacious creditors-Cohen, who was
threatening her now for the overdue
installment on her last Winters fur
wrap: the perfectly adorable hat she'd
bought Yesterday and promised TO pay
for tomorrow; the woman who ran the
hosiery shop who had refused to give
her another pair of silk stockings un-
til she paid for the last four pairs-so
she came at last to the outer door of
the Old Mans office, on the uppermost
floor.
Joanna had never seen Graydon, the
owner. Few of the store employees be-
low the rank of buyers had. He came
and went through a private passag

seemed, somehow, to be from a differ

shop outside, smiled warmly at the
pitifully defiant shopgirl who stood
haughtily at the Office threshold and
announced:

in the Dismal Silence of the
Louisiana Wilderness When the
Unfortunate Victim Might More
Easily Have Been Buried?

Watching his step and pushing aside the
messy curtains that hung in his path, the
darky CROPPED his way. After couple of
hours he decided he had gone far enough,
and, hearing his dog barking some distance
away, called to it. But the dog, instead
of obeying, barked back at him. For a
while the master and the hound called to
each other, and finally the man gave in
and with much difficulty went to his dog.
In the middle of little natural clear
ing beside a stagnant pool, which reflected
the great pines and their hoary whiskers
of Spanish moss, he saw the ashes of
large wood fire, and in the middle of it lay
a backened object At this the dog was
barking nervously. The man was able to
make out that it was the body of wo-
man, limbs and head almost consumed by
what must have been prolonged and in
tense heat. His hasty, frightened exam
ination revealed nothing to identify her,
nor, at that time, was he certain whether
she was white or black.
The man saw no footsteps, wheel tracks,
nor any other sign to indicate how she got
there, but there was clear evidence that
someone had worked hard with an axe,
chopping and carrying more than cord
of long pine logs and branches, and there
was a bucket which smelled family of
kerosene.
Stunned at the discovery, the hunter
called his dog and started homeward,
taking pains to blaze a trail with his hunt
ing knife so that he could find the place
again without relying on his dog. Arrived
on old familiar ground, he hurried at
first, with the idea of reporting to the
authorities at the county or parish seat at
Wnnsboro, ten miles away. The more
he began to picture himself actually doing
that the slower the darkey's feet moved,
until, finally, they turned around and took
him to his own little cabin. He was afraid
to go to Winnsboro.
His reasoning was this: That woman
was probably missed by this time Maybe
it was known or suspected that some I'M
known negro had carried her off. If so,
the town was, no doubt, seething with ex-
cited white men eager to take vengeance,
and the sheriff more than likely search
ing the swamp with his posse. Now it
seemed to the colored man that if he
walked into that hysteria and told them
that he knew where the woman's body
was, they would ask him by what miracle
he happened to find it.
OF course, he knew that it was not a
miracle. IL was his hounds keen scent
that had followed somebody's invisible
tracks to the scene, but would they be-
lieve that? If they did not believe it, he
thought they would just naturally hang
him to the nearest cottonwood tree and
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-20

they had endured; the metal frame of
handbag, a gold vanity case, and white
gold partly melted class ring or fraternity
ring, few metal buttons, and part of the
high heel of woman's slipper. This was
all, though they combed the ashes,
searched among the broad-leafed pal
mettoes and cut down the tangled cane
brake beyond the pines. There were no
footprints nor tracks, and the bucket was
just bucket that might have come from
any of thousand stores, and the recent
heavy Fall rains had cleaned it of any
fingerprints.
Examination of the remains showed that
the woman was probably not over twenty
years old, and either white or with so
little cOlored blood as to pass for a white
girl. The sheriff at once sent out an
alarm for all missing girls, and was soon
informed that it must be the body of
Cora Mcknight, a young and very light
mulatto girl, who had disappeared with
her husband under what were considered
