low Rose to be able to enjoy a drink
Of the water.
Within q short time after Rose
had moved into the house and re-
paired the well, the well became q
thing quite famous. Nobody ever
visited the house without noticing
this peculiar well.
That was where Rose met Mathew
Hallet for the first time. He had
been driving along tine dusty DAD
in June, just as the sun was set
ting, and had spied the well from
the road that twisted itself along
like dogs hindleg; and without
hesitation, he had parked his rig
and gone around the house to the
backyard, where he drew himself 8
fresh bucket of water and quenched
his thirst. Then Rose came out OF
her bedroom, which faced the well,
and said, Hello"
Gust came here for a drink" Hal
let explained. IT hope you don't
mind"
Rose shook her head.
Certainly not" she expostulated.
"There is more water there than I
can ever use, and besides, I like to
see people enjoy it."
She looked Hallet over carefully.
Evidently she was pleased with what
her eyes observed. The man was
tall, we'll built and neat in his at
tire. He was not without certain
type of handsomenesS.
Of course it is doubtful whether
Hallet was aware of the fact that
he was being gazed upon with in

promptly turned him down.
Il won't give you dime" she
said vigorously. Besides that, Mat
wouldn't have a man who had ia
depend on woman. I've got mon>
ey. I always keep a small sum in
the house. 1t wouldn't take me ten
minutes to produce a thousand dol
lars, and there's more where it is.
But won't give you a dime. If you
don't care enough for me not to
want my money, you're simply not
the man I'm looking for, and I've
wasted lot of valuable time"
When they had reached this point
in their acquaintance, Mat proved
conclusively that he was the origt-
nal man. They had been carrying
on a clandestine love affair, and
Rose had manifested considerable
love for Hallet. But when the lat
ter preached money to her, he de-
crossed from the path of her ideal
man. He made a mistake.
Mistakes or that sort are easy to
make, but they sometimes prove
costly. When Hallet found that
Rose did not aim to assist him In
launching his new restaurant, he
made more violent love to her, and
she responded.
They must have spent the big
gest part Of the night together; at
least the evidence pointed out that
someone in the woman's confidence
had been with her, and the floor
of her private room was Uttered
with cigarette stubs. However, there
was no way of tracing these, and
when the woman's body was found
in the WELL on the bottom, with her

The story of the crime, of the
well, is intriguing, inasmuch as
1t reveals how a beautiful colored
woman was foully murdered, and OF
how she-the yellow Rose-made
fools of men only to discard and
leave them.
The fact that a modern detective,
Grayon Godfrey, of st. Louis, Mo-,
reached a solution of the deep and
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1930-08-09

stirring mystery merely for the ad-
venture, while visiting with a rels-
tive in the country, adds to its in
tereSt.
The yellow Rose, perhaps, can
not be blamed now for breaking
numerous masculine hearts, and
that is because many things have
come to light which completely
transcribed human comprehension
For one thing. Mr.. Godfrey dis
closes the fact that the Yellow Rose
made fools of men without evil in
tent, and allowed men to see her
and pay her attentions simply be-
cause she was seeking her ideal, and
he further states that for five years
this popular Georgia beauty sought
the one man who possessed suft1-
esent originality to hold her love
and to keep alive her interest.
She had started out on this rain
bow trail when she was twenty.
having then seen very little Of the
world and comparatively nothing
Of men. She had dreamed dreams
like all young women will, and made
UP her mind that she would never
rest until she had found man who
would fulfill the requirements she
had In mind. She was set on that,
and couldn't be convinced that no
such man existed in the world.
She wanted man who would be
rough and gentle at the same time,
. combination of cave man and
dilettante. A man who could use
nice language, take drink, swear
and pray, one after the other. He
would, she said, have to treat her
rough when she wanted to be treat
ed rough, and then he would have
to be refined and gentle when she
wanted him to be that way.
However, she made 1t known that
she didn't want a man who would
make it at all necessary for her to
tell him when to slap her and when
to take her in his arms. He would
have to be intelligent enough to
know when her peculiar moods
changed.
Therefore the Yellow Rose cannot
reasonably be blamed for her eSca-
pades, and for doing things that the
average girl would not even remote
ly contemplate. Of course, since
the yellow Rose was in quest of the
original man, she was partial to
stranger. She would make a date
with a man she had never seen be-
fore more readily than she would

spent four years Of her charming
young life seeking the original man.
II he had, he probably would have
resorted to something unusual to
prove to her that he was the very
one she sought.
He was apparently as much pleas

who continued the conversation,
and they did not part that evening,
until they had struck up better
acquaintance.
After while - possibly two
months-Hallet made up his mind
that he wanted to enter some sort
of business, and eventually decided
