mfr. Woodford asked me to tell you
they'd want good breakfast" she
said.
Obo grinned happily. eyes, Mis-
sic. Obo always have good break
fasts."
She felt little crushed at this
remark, and was forced to smile to
herself. And then, as she thought
of Tom Payson, her smile faded
quickly. Had he gone back to his
own camp last night?
Or was he still on Evergreen
Island, waiting for another chance
to use the communication system
on the Wood Nymph? Surely, she
thought, he would never be so
reckless as to attempt it again. And
yet it was his only chance to help
her-and something told her that
he would.
1--we got to find him." she told
herself I've got to tell him that
he mustn't get into trouble on my
account again!"
CHE would have left the lodge
~ then, but Mrs. Joseph appeared
on the balcony and called down a
lofty good-morning Julia answered
her as pleasantly as she could man
age, wondering how she might get
away without arousing the widows
suspicious.
I'm famished,' the woman con-
fessed, making her way regally
down the staircase. I'm afraid
quite forgot to have dinner last
night. I hope the boys bring in
something delicious from their
hunting trip
Il think Obo is getting break
fast ready now" Julia told her.
"Indeed?"
There was much implied in the
word Julia sensed that the wild
ow was assuming that Julia, as the
companion of the host, had ordered
breakfast in the absence of Wood
ferd
She senset;, also, that the widow
was assuming the situation and
resenting it, too. In a sudden flash
Julia recognized the source of this
strange woman's unhappiness-an
unhappiness that cloaked her
vaguely, yet surely.
She was a possesSive woman, a
woman who wanted all things and
all men, and she could never be
happy on this earth.
n
JULIA was glad when Cintra APP
- peared at last, yawning indo-
lently. The slender dancer had
hardly reached the bottom of the
stairs when there was commotion

yachts crew led Payson out of the
lodge. He did not look at Julia as
he left. If he had, he would have
noticed that her eyes were filmed
with sudden tears for the trouble
and humiliation she had caused
him.
Cintra Lee saw Julia's glance fol-
lowing Payson from the room, and
she whispered quickly: Easy there
Julia. I think I see through this
and you'll give yourself away"
Julia nodded, her face white. She
saw Woodford walking toward
them.
I'm sorry this had to happen"
he said.
"It's-it's been little upsetting,'
said Julia weakly. "If you don't
mind, I think I'll go up to bed"
VXTOODFORD patted her Shout
w der. Sure, go right ahead,
Julia. We men folk are rising early
for hunting trip in the morning.
Well be back about or 10-so you
see to it that Obo has good break
fast ready!"
AS Julia moved toward the stair,
Cintra said in low voice, IF the
men folk can hold a bead on any
thing tomorrow it'll be a wonder"
And when Julia had undressed
nervously and climbed into bed,
she was inclined to agree with Gin
ira. For long after she heard Gin
ira and Mrs. Joseph retire to their
rooms, the men downstairs talked
and laughed, quite as if nothing
had happened. But Julia wondered
about Royal Nesbitt and Hugo
Nash.
Under the warming influence of
cocktails they might pretend to
have forgotten. But, remembering
the look in Nash's eyes when Mes
bitt had struck him, Julia doubted
If he would let the matter pass so
easily.
Nesbitt. the happy o-lucky, a
man of quick loves and hates, might
possibly be willing to let things
drop. But something told Julia
that Nash wouldn't forget.
That night she slept fitfully, and
in the morning she was grateful
for cold shower which revived
her a little and made up for bad
stretch of hours in the strange
room.
She realized that she must have
slept at least a little toward morn
ing. for she hadn't heard the men
depart on their hunting jaunt Her
suspicion was that they had failed
to arise at all-but when she went
downstairs she found Obo laying a
fire on the hearth and he told her
that the .genturnen" had gone be-
fore the sun was up.

! why didn't you ask me?" sug-
gested Woodford.
Il naturally assumed you were
aboard the boat. When I found
you weren't I tried to get permits
sion from one of the men,"
Woodward nodded. Julia saw that
too many cocktails had made him
difficult and nasty. You tried to
get permission for $25. I think it's
odd you didn't ask the captain
Come on, Payson. What's your
game? What was this message
you wanted to get through?"
At the others unpleasant attitude
Payson Strengthened and his cheeks
flushed with anger. After all, Mr.
Woodward. this isn't a police court,
you know"
But that's my yacht, Payson
This is my island, and these are
my men. You can't get away with
anything"
IT WASN'T trying to get away with
- anything. I have a camp on
! the next island. I was simply trying
to notify man at the settlement
that I wanted him to bring his boat
after me sooner than we'd originally

Hugo Nash had been watching
and listening, his sensual mouth
I twisted with alcoholic cunning.
Now he stepped nearer Payson. Il

thing queer about this whole thing
Payson's cheeks had been flushed,
but now they turned suddenly scar
let and he started toward Nash
with his fists clenched. But as he
stepped forward the two men
caught his arms again and brought
him TO helpless standstill.
/ Nash chose this suspicious mo-
ment to accept the challenge. With
as much strength as he could
muster he brought his first against
Payson's mouth.
The women screamed. and Royal
NeShitt hurried between the two
men. He stood facing Nash mo-

struck Nash hard with an open

PREATHLESSLY Julia and Gin
~ ira followed the trio into the
big room. When George Woodford
saw the two members of his crew
with Payson between them, his
eyes widened from their alcoholic
squirt.
Whats all this?" he said
whats all this?"
I'VE found him trying to get into
the radio room, sir" said one OF
the men.
This astonished Woodford more
than ever. Into the radio room?'
He looked at Payson. What for?'
he demanded. Then, before Paysan
could answer. What's your name?'
"Payson.' said the younger mar
quickly. And I'd like to explain
the whole thing if you'll give me
a chance
Julia's heart lcaped into her
throat and whirred there like a
frightened bird. Was Payson. now
that he had been caught, going to
tell them all why he had been try
ing TO use the radio-telephone?
Feeling her face aflame, she stood
behind Cintra Lee.
Go ahead. then" said Wocdford
angrily. Go ahead and explain"
We'll, when your men say that !

room they're quite correct But the
inference is that they caught me
breaking into it. which isn't true. "

other social functions. Most Of

of possible revenue, Northsiders
were delighted at the fact that many
of the delegates chose to reside in
the Southside hotels through the
conference. This is a significant
move in that many of the South
side hotels are distinctly anti-Negro
in even their employment policies.
AS far as the conference every eff
fort was made to ignore all racial
lines.

ties, in various Northside homes,

SPRING HOUSE CLEANING
Is AN EASY MATTER
When Modern Aids Are
Used Improved S o APPS
Simplify the Task

Bright, sunshiny weather really
seems to have arrived at last. That
means that we can forget about
our furnace fires, and that, Of
course, is the signal for all good
housewives to get at their house
cleaning.
Many of us, who remember what
a general upheaval spring house
cleaning used to cause in our
mothers homes, can well under
stand why they dreaded it so. But
it's quite a different matter today.
Manufacturers of soaps have made
it much simpler task.
In the first place. with all these
improved soaps it is much easier
to keep our homes clean right
through the winter, so that when
we can dispense with furnace fires
and polish our homes up for the
summer season, there isn't nearly
so great an accumulation of win
ter dust and CRIME to be removed.

face dirt from our rugs, carpets.
and upholstered furniture. Granu-
lated soap can be used on wood
work and painted surfaces without
injuring them.
If you want to reduce the work
Of spring housekeeping to a mini
mum you will select your cleaning
preparations and your cleaning
equipment carefully.
We suggest that you include on
your list Lux flakes made and re-
commended especially for all fine
laundering. Lux hasn't any harm
full alkali and the manufacturer
guarantees anything safe in water
is safe in Lux.
You'll also want Rinse, the gran
ulated soap that does such won
derful work. This product is re-
commended by 9 out of 10 wash
ing machine manufacturers.
Local retailers are running spe-
cial prices on these two splendid
products and two very popular
toilet soaps for this weekend. We
would advise you to stock up now
while these low prices are in eff
feet.

Every time you wait on the curb
for a green signal to show you are
setting a good example for other

Waiting for the green signal is

Though many of the Negro dele
gates were housed in the palatial
Boardwalk hostelries, Northside
residents made every effort to en-
terrain and enlighten them during
their free moments while the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work
convened in this city during the
past week. Beginning with the
citizens welcome at the New Jersey
Avenue School on the afternoon of
Sunday, May "a, the week was
marked by a round of social and
civic activities which won favor

SHORE Opportunity Less RELIEF
Headed by Miss Idella Tyler a
committee of citizens presented an
interesting program on the after
noon of the opening day with Lieut..
Lawrence Oxley chief speaker of
the occasion. Oxley, who spoke on
Federal legislation and the Negro,
outlined clearly and Interestingly
the various projects out of which
Negroes may hope for considera-
ton. He paid high tribute to DR..
Ambrose Caliver and other educa-
tors for the excellent work they are
doing in research under Federal
legislation. mot mere relief he
declared, but more occupational

things that are being done to give
youth a better outlook as we pro-

Following Oxley, Henry Hunt, as
sistant to the governor of the Farm
Credit Bureau, in his inimitable
and forceful manner, described the
function of his office. Mr.. Hunt
reminded his hearers that Uncle
Sam was not playing the role OF

made He emphasized the fact that
no attention is paid to the race
Of farmers but merely their ability
