They found old Suky patiently

Cyrus K. got in he said imme'

"Your memory's better than
you want to let on" he told her
firmly.
Mistah Cyrus?" she asked sud-
denly.
"I just have an idea," he told
her. Your voodoo gave 1t to me.
If you will help me, I may be
able to help Mr.. Vane q lot. and
that would make Miss Betty

"An' yoh, Mistah Cyrus, and my

in the vale of memories.

gently. "And who else?"
"An' then the white gen'lman

"Was Mrs. Roger Thornley, one
Of those that you loVed?" he
asked her abruptly.
"sho now, Mistah Cyrus,

surprise. "How would old Suky
know anyone as rich as Mrs.
Thornley,? Sho, all I knew was
the girls in the show that was
trying to git along jes' like me" !"
"She was with q Show-and

Betty interrupted.
"Why, Suky," she cried. "You

"Come, now, suky," Cyrus K.

"I did have once" She told
them so seriously that they all
felt the weight Of her thought.
"But that ones gone to de Lawd

of the secrets of the success OF
Cyrus K. Mantel-his unfailing

"Wait for Miss Betty and me in

They shook hands heartily, and

"Not a thing" laughed the D.
A. good-naturedly. Excepting, Of

True Porcelain

The porcelain made at Nielsen,
commonly called Dresden, out OF
courtesy to the city where sat the
electors of Saxony, was true porce-
lain and should not be confused
with the early translucent ware
made in Egypt and Persia and In
Italy, England and France, which
owed it's texture to the use Of glass.
Such ware was, at best, a substi-

To the Public:
The statement in the press of
May 25th, which read, at is a
rumor that the break came when
J. W. Pate, one Of its members,
sought to wrest the Grand Deputy
ship from the present head of the
State" was manifestly unfair to
Mr.. Pate.
The title of the article referred
to above was "Minnetonka Lodge
Suspended" Mr.. Pate has never
sought the office mentioned, but it
was various members of the Lodges
who, knowing his qualifications,
urged him to accept the position if
the National Grand Master saw fit
to so name him. Members of the
Lodges wrote to the Grand Master
in behalf of his (Mr. Pate's) ap-
pointment without his knowledge.
This is a true statement of the
facts. The statement as published
of May 25th is not only unfair to
Mr.. Pate, but to those sincere mem
bers of the U. B. F. organization
who sought to elevate the status of
our Order by having an intelligent,
conscientious man of character at
the head of our beloved Order in
