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. The one they
[ have been using for colored people
has worn out, therefore she sent to
Chetopa, Kas., and hired one.”

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

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.”
