When Wentworth recovered from
his trancelike absorption the house
was applauding; the large Negro
chorus was taking a curtain call. The
demands of the audience became
deafening. Lissa's great hour! She
advanced to the footlights and bow
ed. Now, in the full light she was
plainly visible for the first time, a
mulatto, little above medium height,
and of superb proportions. Went
worth noticed that she wore no make
up except a slight darkening of the
lips that made them seem fuller,
more deliberately Negroid. This struck
him as significant FROM the light
bronze of her face her eyes looked
out, large, expressive, and eXtraordi-
narily brilliant Mamba's eyes yes,
and Hagar's. Now, for the first time,
he noticed that she appeared self
conscious, anxious to be away. She
bowed for the second time, and with
out waiting for the curtain, withdrew
among the chorus.
But the audience would not let it
rest at that. They got to their feet
and cheered. They kept the Glamour
going with a sort of mad persistence.
After five minutes of it the curtain
was seen to move, rising slowly on a

bright vacant stage.
LISA stepped from the wings, and
the Glamour plunged into silence. The
trace of embarrassed Self-consclous-
ness was gone. She seemed detached,
oblivious of both herself and her au-
dience. The conductor rose and look
ed up to her for his cue. Apparent
~ she did not see him, for she gave
no sign. Instead she stopped where
she was just out Of the wings, and
unaccompanied commenced to sing
the National Anthem Of the American
Negro.
Apparently most of the audience
had never heard of it. Wentworth
never had. From the first note he was
aware of an absolutely new sensation.
Against his perception beat the words
of James Weldon Johnson's inspiring
poem swept forward in the marching
rhythm OF Rosamond JohnSon'S
music:
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring.
Ring with the harmonies OF Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let 1t resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full Of faith that the dark
past has taught us,
Sing a song full OF the hope that the
present has brought us:
Facing the rising sun OF our new day
begun,
Let us march on til, victory is won" ~

Orseved Orders at the Risk of His Life

Moses head. "Shoot to kill" 1t
meant considerable to kill somebody.
A human life was something that
couldn't be given back.
The gun felt heavy in his hand.
Sure enough, he had the bag of dia-
monds. It contained a fortune in
diamonds. And he had been instruct
ed to guard it at the expense Of hui
man life.
He heard the roar of a motor out
side, knew the folks were leaving,
heard the car thud its way down
the gravel path. The sounds became
muffled by distance. and eventually
died out completely. Nasty job, he
had. But the orders he had received
had come from the man he respect
ed and worked for.
Nose felt that he was duty bound
They might do anything to him, but
as long as he lived, they couldn't
take that bag of diamonds from him.
He determined to die before anything
of that sort could happen.
Nose was alone in the house. All
the other help had gone to the
dance. The house was still. Not q
sound. Nothing to be heard, save
the whisper of the wind, and the
creak of a board blown back and
forth. Nose remembered having
nailed this strip above the garage
door that morning, to stop up
crack through which snow sometimes
fell. -,
He carried the black suitcase with
There was an enormous fireplace
made of crude stone, and a large log
in the CRATE, burning cheerfully.
Here Nose stood, with the mantel OF
the fireplace being above his head,
holding the gun in his hand. He
set the grip down at his feet. He
waited He didn't know for what.
But he felt premonition that he
was waiting for something. He had,
in other words, one OF those nerve
racking presentiments.
Hours passed swiftly until, sud-
denly, he heard a sound at the front
door. 1t was showed open. 1t slam
med back against the wall. A pic
ture was Jared off, clattered to the
floor, broken in many pieces. A
Strong draft of cold air swept
through the red walled room. Then
came the sound of slithering feet.
Nose knew somebody was approach
ing him. He whirled about. His re-
volver was ready for instant action.
Nose cursed himself for leaving that
door unlocked However. it was the
custom of this community to leave
the front door unlocked.
"Stop!"
Nose shouted the command to
halt. But the dark bulk continued
to advance toward him, drawing
nearer and nearer. Then, without
waiting, Nose fired twice. The first
bullet cut the robed figure to his
knees. the second cut him to the
floor, but while he was on his knees,
the man in the black robe fired one
shot at his opponent, sending him
staggering into the enormous crate.
When Nose fell into the crate he
burned his hands. His clothes caught
on fire. The black bag was scorched,
for Nose had picked it up before
firing shot. But he managed to
remove himself from the flames,

gang, as we'll.
That night when Mr.. Waite took
his departure from the house, bound
for country dance, he said to Nose:
eff any suspicious characters APP
pear here, shoot, and shoot to kill"
Nose nodded his head, manitesting
that he would obey instructions
And he did not hesitate to do it
when the occasion came up short
while later.
Just how Mr.. Waite happened to
leave the diamonds in care of his
employee is uncertain, but it is es-
tablished that Waite is a jewelry
salesman who sometimes takes his
valuables home with him over the
weekend. Be that as it may he was
visiting his sister in the big brick
house, with fountain in the yard
flowers, summer houses, tennis courts,
and everything. And Waite had all
the jewelry he carried on his selling
trips, in his possession.
Sometimes Waite had to take back
defective gems that his customers
had sold only to have brought back,
and besides these, he usually car
ried fine display of samples AT
any rate, on this particular night, he
had something like thirty thousand
dollars in diamonds which he gave
to Nose to look after
Nose didn't step into Waite's con-
fidence over night. He had been
working in the family for a long
number of years Mrs. Andrews had
testified that he was absolutely
honest. Moreover. she had often
spoken to her brother about Nose.
She felt safe living alone there in
that big house, with this venerable
colored lad to look after her. She
believed that if the occasion present.
ed itself, Nose would make the SUI
preme sacrifice for her safety.
Nose knew he was in the favor of
Mrs. Andrews, and this, of course.
put him in the respect Of all the help
in the house. Everyone had i'm
plicit confidence in Nose.
But Nose was going away. Mrs.
Andrews was to be gone South for
approximately three months. during
which time the big house at Egypt
Mills would be closed. In the mean
while Nose was to be with Tom
Waite, and he was packing his
things to leave with his new en-
ployer the next morning when Waite
stepped unobtrusively into his room
with a black travelling bag in his
hand.
''Mose," he said quietly, there's a
fortune in diamonds in this grip, and
I'm going to leave it with you to
guard Also, I'm going to give you
an automatic pistol. Can you
handle one?"
Nose was not excited, although he
could not help but realize the weight
of the responsibility that had been
placed on his shoulders. -,
II never did use one much. SIT,
he confessed Stoutly. But can
certainly try
Waite handed him the gun.
"This bag is in your care. Guaro
it with your life. Don't let 1t out OF

perience when his master in
structed him to guard the
priceless diamonds he left
behind in an enormous house
near Egypt Mills. In this
small town Mrs. Andrews,
sister of the employer of
Nose Morton, resided in the
winter months. In fact, the
experience was so unusual
that Nose had stepped, al
most before he realized it, in
to the spotlight of the state.
All eyes are on him, and no
doubt, before another month
has passed, Nose will in some
way be rewarded for his
faithful services. 1t is known
that the employer, Tom
Waite, is now planning to
surprise his brave employee
with a nice sum of money.

were left in his hands, but he
