JIM CROWED AFTER DEATH Hearse Refused to Colored Woman in Oklahoma. New York City, Dec. 17.—The Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People, 70 Fifth ave nue, New York, has made public the following extracts from a letter show ing that discrimination against col ored people does not end with death: “Sunday, November 16, I attended a funeral at Vinita, Okla. The under taker would not hire his hearse to the woman as they do not allow colored people to use the same hearse that white people ride in.

Lakeview was just near enough to the city to be caught In the whirl of election excitement. From her little home on the hill Lenore could see the villagers stopping here and there to enter Into controversy or exchange good wishes for a mutual choice. It was grand to be the fiancee of the fu ture district attorney! The thought thrilled Lenore to her finger tips. Away in the city she knew Charles Floggert, the man of her choice, was working as he hud never worked be fore—working for the good of the community, for her and the Ideals he held dear. If they all knew Charles as she knew him, he would not lose a vote; she felt sure of it. From the very day she hud entered his office as stenographer she had learned to re spect him, and now love was mingled with that respect. He had insisted that she take a rest the last montli of his campaign, as they had planned to be married soon after the election. Now she wished she had insisted upon staying by his side to see the fight to the finish. A special Sunday supplement lay open at her side. There, in a large four-column cut, was a picture of Charles with the governor's daughter by his side. “Candidate for District Attorneyship and His Most Enthusias tic Campaigner," it was headed. Lenore knew that no one could be a more enthusiastic campaigner for Charles than she had been; but she was not jealous of the governor’s daughter, she told herself. It was all in the campaign—part of a big game. Up the hill she could see u messen ger hoy wending his way. With that strange instinct which messenger boys usually arouse, she scented at once Faster and Fasto> the Little Car Bounded Forward. that he was carrying a message for her. Sure enough he was—from Charles. She opened the note with fervent haste almost before she had signed for it. It had been dashed off in a hurry, she could tell by the shaky letters, hut they were the same large open letters that distinguished Charles’ penmanship. “Dear Lenore: “I cannot let you come down to meet me tonight after the returns, for I have a confession to make: I love some one else, deur. She will be at my side tonight. The governor’s daughter has promised to become my | wife as soon us you will set me free from my promise. It is to your Influ ! enee I owe my success today, Lenore, but I know you will not stand in my i light, and will forgive me. Believe me to be always, “Your friend, "CHARLES.” Poor Lenore sank to a chair, hardly able to believe what she read. Surely she had read it wrong. But no! Even through the tears she could read the same hard, cruel words. Her head swam dizzily, everything went black and she felt herself slipping. “Lenore, open your eyes; speak to me. It Is Jimmy !” It was some minutes later when these words brought Lenore to her Renses. Before she opened her eyes she could feel a man’s ann tight around her and her head resting upon his shoulder. Jimmy ! After all those months! It felt good to have some one there some one who would understand. On Jimmy’* shoulder she wept out the " !n ioi v. Jimmy took the letter i i for himself. il ’" lie hissed. “The dirty, i ■ cud!” 1 v, III be at his side tonight, Jimmy cried. “To see him proclaimed district attorney! Not by a Jug'xil! It Isn’t too late to lose the election yet. He Has reckoned without Jimmy Davis of the Star. This letter on a front page extra will cook Ills goose. Milts woman who has made him what he is for governor’s wealthy heiress.’ A full sweep heading lilts that will sway the crowd away from him as if n cyclone had struck them.” "Not that, Jimmy, not that !*’ Lenore had risen and put a restraining hand on his shoulder. "Charles must not lose the election. It is his right to ; choose his own wife. I will not com plnln.” "What? Do you think I would let him get away with this? He is turning down the girl he won from me, the sweetest little girl in the world, one I would die for.” “If you think that much of me, Jimmy, you will destroy that letter and forget that you have seen it.” Jimmy's lip curled with derision. "I won’t do that. I will publish It in tiie Star. It will he on the press In half an hour. You can’t see it that way now, dear, but In a few weeks' tinie you will thunk me for exposing this end.” “You must not publish it. I won't permit it!” Lenore faced him with fiushq “eks, determination shining from h "cs. “You cSu’t stop me." Jimmy was just ns determined; battle was shin ing in his eyes. In vain did Lenore threaten and plead. “He has been a cad! He deserves | to be defeated, you will have to admit it!” Jimmy cried, as he saw himself triumphing. A new light came suddenly into Lenore’s eyes. “He will be defeated," she cried. “I will take you to the Star tn my car, so you will be sure to get there In time for an extra. I will be ready in a minute.” It was just a minute luter when Jimmy sat beside her in her roadster. “We will make speed,” she cried, as she turned on the power. Faster and : faster the little car bounded forward, whizzed past other cars and struck the open stretch by the lake. It hud been speed before, but on the open stretch , the car truveled at a maddening rate. Nearer and nearer the city came; faster and faster the car seemed to bound. “Almost there. Just one more mile; hang on!” Lenore gasped as they rounded another bend. A big red car loomed up in front. The little car slackened speed as they passed. Lenore recognized tiie occu pants—Charles and the governor's daughter. “I wonder if they recognized us?” Jimmy gloated. “Yes; didn’t you see the surprised look on Charles’ face?” A sob cut off Lenore’s voice, but it was lost in the whirl of the wind as it struck the lit tle roadster, again traveling at full speed. “We are on the wrong road!" Jim my suddenly realized It. “Yes, and we are going to stay on the wrong road. Hang on! There is lots of speed left! A move from yon and we will both lie dashed against that fence!” From sheer fright Jimmy kept his seat. It was on hour later when the car came to a halt. “Sixty miles from u telegraph office or a telephone, and the polls close In I ten minutes.” There was real triumph in Lenore’s tone. “Now, Mr. Jimmy i Davis of the Star do your worst!" “The whole thing's a failure.” Jim my sank back on tin* cushions with a groan of disappointment. The ride had knocked all tiie courage out of him. “It was all a frnmeup to get Fhiggert, but you heat us.” “Tiie letter—it wasn’t from Charles?” Lenore faced him with blazing eyes. “No; it was written by his former secretary; a good forgery.” “You cad!" All the indignation of a fiery little soul was contained in those words. Unnoticed by the two in the road ster. a big roadster hud halted by their side. “What does It mean?" It was Charles. He had followed tiie runaway car and had heard the confession. Le nore was very brave when she told him the story, but she felt very weak and Insignificant as she nestled in his arms on the homeward journey. “Brave little champion,’’ he whis pered, as lie drew her very, very close. “A man couldn’t lose with a sweet heart like you.” | I Grow Hair by the LaKeene Process MRS.
