SOLVING A DARK
MYSTERY

iTXIHEN you can say for a story
w that 1t is funny and that, more
over, it is the recital of an actual oc-
double value. l think this story =
funny, and ! have knowledge that the
thing happened substantially as II Is
ihefe set down:
Achmed Abdullah, the novelist and
short story writer, Is an Afghan, de-
,scendapt Of an old and noble family
lot Afghanistan and son of for
inner governor of Kabul He was edu-
coated In Europe, and he has lived and
iadventured pretty much all over the
world Being natural Hnguist, he
has picked up tongues as he went,
until today he knows as many Ian
Iguages and tareQns as probably any
living man knows. -s>sx-.sest,
With the rank Of captain be was on
recruiting service once for the British
army in Cairo. To him came an
Egyptian officer Of police to ask hts
aid. It seemed that two native con-
STABLES had picked up in the bazaars
10 black man whose nationality was
unknown and whose purposes were
Iunfathomable seeing that be could
mot be made to understand the CUES
Hons put to him by his captors
Il seemed that for several days be-
fore his arrest the prisoner had been
lurking about the bazaars, butt for
Isamins and the despair Of those who
sought to interrogate him regarding
hits antecedents and his intentions. As
mucb for his own protection as for
ANY other motive the police had locked
him up Now the expert assistance
lot Captain Abdullah as translator Was
solicited
| Abdullah accompanied the puzzled
xunctionary to the prison. In q cor
Inef OF cell crouched huge black
imam staring with apprehensive, sullen
leyes at the newcomers. It was EVIL
dent that he was of some African
stock also it was plain that he was
IN badly frightened state. He was
clad In a nondescrlpt costume Of tat
tiers which he had picked up some
Iwhere-the sandals Of an Arabian, a
Turkish fez and the ragged remains
of donkey drivers white robe
Being admitted to the cell. the vol
unteer interpreter proceeded to fire
simple questions at the captive, first
In French, then in Afghan, and then
iin Ashantee. in Turkish, IN Tibetan,
In Greek, in Chinese, In Persian and
10 Batu- There was no response; the
black merely continued to glover at
him dumbly. So then Abdullah tried
him In some Of the tongues of the
Sahara desert and in the clucking dia-
iects Of one or two Congo tribes and
finally In Zuluese, with which he was
also more OF less familiar Still the
hunched-up figure gave no sign OF
understanding.
In despair Abdullah gave 1t up. II
wonder" he said aloud to himself in
English, "what In thunder you are
anyway"
With below of Thanksgiving the
prisoner leaped to his feet.
'Boss," he whooped, Use a Free
Will Baptist ~
And so he was--a country darky
from Alabama who had shipped on q
tramp steamer out of New Orleans
had deserted off the African coast
swimming ashore naked, and had for
days past been lodging about the ma
tive quarters, growing hourly more
bewfldered and more desperate ir
these strange surroundings.

anairs. He was surprisingly great I'm
all OF that. But he was very much
more. He wished to see his country
not only materially prosperous and
politically successful, but beyond that.
and above 1t. he wished to see the in.
tellectual. moral and spiritual life of
the people developed. This is the
SIDE OF Washington to which too lit
tie attention has been given. He did
not fail during his lifetime to give
the most painstaking thought to these
subjects. In his farewell address he
soiemnly warned his countrylnen that
tnese are the foundations on which
rest all American institutions. More
than that, they are the foundations
on which all civilization must rest.
~ Is as an expounder of these great
principles that he performed the great
est service for the world
Our country has prospered. our Gov
eminent Is secure. But that prosper
lty ana that security flow from the
scnool and the church. They are the
product Of the mind and the soul.
Iney are the result of the character
or the American people. Through and
through, Washington Is the great ex-
ample of character. He sought to be
stow that heritage upon his country.
We shall fail in our estimation and
understanding of him unless we re-
member that during his lifetime he
helped to build a place of religious
worship; in his will he provided for In
situations Of learning. and in his fare.
well address he emphasized the spirit
ual value Of life. But what he did
was even more eloquent than what he
said. He was a soldier, a patriot, a
statesman; but in addition to all these
he was a great teacher.

sources and opportunities already 10
Gated in the Capital City. The Fed
eral Government, however, has not
been remiss In the support of ad-
vanced learning and of vocational
training. for which 1t has appropriated
moro than 100000 in the last 35
years, while for general educational
purposes 1t has donated about 81, 000.-
oo0 acres OF the public lands.
Precepts Followed.
The country at large has not failed
to follow the precepts of Washinet On.
from the 8 institutions of higher
learning in existence at the time of
his birth the number has grown to 913.
with total enrolment of over 664 900
students and over Sc, 900 teachers, an
endowment of nearly $4,000, 900
and a property value of 81 600, 900 900.
Our elementary and secondary schools
nave expanded until they provide for
more than 100000 pupils and re.
Quire over $4,000 teachers. In 1912
the total amount expended yearly for
all educational purposes was about
$7O6. 100000. This has been increasing
with great rapidity, until in 1924 it
reached $2,400,O0O,000 The source of
this enormous expenditure, so far as
public money is concerned, is almost
ernments.
This represents the result which has
been secured by the carrying out Of
some of the most important policies
Of our first President. 1t should be
noted that these are the policies of
peace. They are based on, a desire
for intellectual and moral enlighten-
ment. They are the only means by
which MISUNDERSTANDING, suspicious,
hatreds and wars can finally be eradi-
Gated from the earth. They are the
foundation Of order, of law and of an
advancing civilization. 1t is these ele-
ments of domestic tranquility and
foreign harmony that Washington
helped to build into the structure Of
our Institutions. There is no other
structure on which they can rest.
Praises Vision Shown.
Envy, malice, Observation-Disclosures,
class jealousies, race prejudices and
international enmities are not real
