The Doom Trail — By — Arthur D. Howden Smith >4 mthor of POR TO BELLO COLD. Etc. ((g) by Brentano'e.) WNU Service THE STORY CHAPTER I.—Harry Ormerod, pro scribed traitor to King George as a Stuart partisan, returning from France to London, rescues Alderman Robert Juggins from a band of assassins. Jug fins proves to be the grandson of a ormer steward of Ormerod’s father, to whom Juggins feels himself indebted Ormerod tells Juggins he has aban doned the Stuart cause. CHAPTER II.—Juggins tells Or merod of a Jacobite plot in the Ameri can colonies to weaken England by forwarding French interests Theli aim Is the return of King James to the English throne. At its head is one Andrew Murray, a Scotsman, and a Frenchman De Veulle. deadly enemy of Ormerod. The two are In London furthering their schemes. Ormerod sees them. Anticipating the plotters’ early return to America, Juggins ar ranges for Ormerod to go there with letters to Governor Burnet, friend of Juggins, and work to foil Murray CHAPTER III—Disguised as Jug gins’ servant, Ormerod takes passage to America. He meets a Scottish girl daughter of Murray, and ardent Jac obite De Veulle recognizes him, and their enmity flames. The Frenchman denounces Ormerod to the girl as a traitor to the Stuart cause Believing him, she repulses Ormerod’s proffer of friendship. He Is thrown into the sea by an unseen assailant. CHAPTER IV.—Ormerod, regaining the deck, has recognized his assailant as Murray’s servant, Tom, giant negr * He accuses Murray of employing the negro to assassinate him, but a truce is arranged. At New York Ormerod saves an Indian from Insult. The In dian, who speaks English, is Ta-wan ne-ars, Seneca chief "Tonr panTon. Peter,” he said good natnredlv enough. “hut that Iptter hap pens to dpa! with a most confidential subject.” “Oh, la," said Porlaer IndlfTerpntly “But I do not readt ” “Take fhp letter Oa-en-gwa-ra-go" said the Indian. “Ta-wnn-ne-ars doe« not seek your secrets. But you need have no fear* This young Englishman Is Ta-wan-ne-ars’ friend.” And In his sonorous English, with a slightly guttural Intonation, he ro counted how I had rescued him from his childish persecttfors. The Incident recalled my promise and T broke In Impetuously upon his closing words. “Aye, your excellency, hut he hath forgotten to add that T pledged myself to beseech you to make It Illegal to mock at Indians In the city streets.” “An excellent thought.” approved Colden. “We have trouble enough win nlng the friendship of the tribes with out subjecting the visiting chiefs to humiliation in our midst." “It shall he done at once," declared the governor. He drew forward a fresh sheet of paper and hurriedly scrawled upon I' the necessary Instructions, then re turned his attention to the Indian. “Ta-wan-ne-nrs.” he continued. “1 need your friendship. I need the mi _i friendship of every one of your people for our king." The Seneca drew blmaelf erect. "Ta-wan-ne-ars la your friend, Ge en-gwa-ra-go. He la not tfae friend of Onontltlo (the French governor gen eral of Canada, regardless of Identity), who rules at Quebee. Host of the white people are not well-wishers to the Indian.

His voice was high and squeaky, and eouaded ridiculous mining from sMa a giant "Hath tbs building begun f de manded tha gavamor.

"Yes,” replied the governor. “Onon tlo and Joncalre first made the One1 das drunk, nnd then bargained with them to sell the Senecas' land." “They had no right to do so,” as sented Ta-wnn-ne-ara somberly. "Put now will you believe that Tn-wan ne ars Is your friend?" “I believe.' said the governor. “P.tr I pray you tell trie why you feel foi us 'his friendship? When I came t< New York to govern the province my predecessor told me that the experl ment of having yen educated hv th missionaries hail failed, that you ha returned to the forest, closer wedded than ever to Indian ways." The Indian's face lighted up ugnli with that grave smile which showc itself with scarcely a contraction oi the mnsdes. “Yes. (ia-en-gwa-ro-go.

"Xa-lio'" (“1 have finished.") I can give no adequate conception of the impressiveness with which th speech was delivered by a savag spenklng in a tongue strange to him Every word rung In my ears. “Who Is this man?" I whispered to Polden as he finished. ' He Is one of the two war-chiefs of the Iroquois league, both of whom arc Senecas Ills name, which slgnlfle. 'Needle-Breaker.' Is actually n form of title which goes with the office. More over, he Is a nephew of the lloy-an-eh Do-ne-ho gn weh. who Is Guardian of the Western Door of the Long House He was taken as a youth and given to thp missionaries—with the result that you see." He broke off, for the governor was addressing me "Have you Hny objection. Master Ormerod. to my acquainting the chief and Corlaer with what we have been discussing?*' I shook my head. He turned to the Indian. “The letter which you hold In your hand, Ta-wan-ne-ars, la from Master Robert Juggins of London, who was some time In the province when you were a lad.” **T remember Master Juggins,'* Inter rupted Ta wan-ne-ara. “He sent me my first musket, la thla Englishman hla friend?” “Yes," said the governor “He come* direct from Master Juggtna. recom mended to me for uae In the plight I find myself In." T will help the Englishman." agreed Tn-wan ne-ars eagerly. “But you know nothing of the cause I am enlisting yon in," protested the governor. “That matters little," said Ta-wan ne-ars composedly “If yon and this Englishman and Polden are In It, It Is an honest cause. What say yon, Cor laer?" “It vlll pe goodt enough for me." de clared the Dutchman solemnly. The governor laughed. "M.v friends and I do thank yon foi the compliment you do ua, Ta wan-ne art But I must lay our case before you. for we seek your counsel Do you know that Andrew Murray hath se cured the consent of the lords of trade In London to the suspension of the law against exporting trade-goods to Pan ada? Murray landed this morning, to gether with a French officer, the Chev alter de Veulle, who—" He stopped at sight of the passion In the Seneca's face. But 'twas Oor laer who spoke first “That Is fery stranche news, gofer nor, for on der frontier there Is talk that an enfo.v Is coming to deliver a message to der tribes at Jagara from der king of France. Joncalre I* call Ing a grandt council to meedt In der summer. All der Indians from heyondt der lakes and der west vlll come." "Strange news I" repeated the gover nor. “You may well say so! Murray overrides our law' Joncalre sets out to build a stone fort npon our soil at Jagara; the French king send* an offi cer, experienced on the frontier, with a special message for a grand council of the tribe*. “All these three event* come slmul taneously. 'TIs Imtiosslhle that acci dent so disposed them. Here we have the first Indication of the culmination of the plot. Aye. 'tls graver than I had supposed.” Ta-wan-ne-ars laid down the un opened letter from Juggins npon the table. “Lst some other read this,” he said. “But It serves no purpose.

(By Dr. W. A. C. Hughes) (For The Associated Negro Press) There are 59 cities in our country with a Negro population of more than 10,000. Twenty-one of these cities are in the north and west. 3,600,000 Negroes are in other cit ies. Forty years ago, 1 out of every five Negroes in America was a city dweller. Today, every third Negro i lives under urban conditions. If you were to strike a radius from | New York of ten hours train ride, ! you would include in your circle I 600,000 Negroes. These are not many people when you consider thq tremendous population of the middle section; but, when you consider the difference of race, their social, eco nomic, and moral background, these are a MULTITUDE of people. Unlike our foreign brethern who have come to this country from Central Europe, there is no such thing as assimilating these people with our general population.
