ness thatshe pityforherandpardon
for her lover. But the Duke, leaning yetfur
theraoward her, had fallen bat for the ply
sician, kneeling, passed his arm around his
body and held him up, and he said in low,
hoarse tones ,and like man that is amazed

that his Hichness was now answering her

And Antonio stood Oh the scaffold between
the Lord Lorenzo and the eXecutioner, and his
eyes were set on Lucia.
Then the Duke spoke again TO the LADY
Lucia, saying:

her again.

Six Years Ago Antelope Roamed Where

Lights, Waterworks, Etc, Testify That
It's Citizens Are Abreast Of the Times.
Six years ago the site Of Oklahoma
City was a prairie over which the ante
lope roamed. Today 1t has more than
10, 900 inhabitants. handsome brick
blocks, a water and sewerage system,
two large school buildings. three daily
newspapers, Touring mills and faoto-
ries, gas and electric lights and q spa
cious opera house, not to speak Of taste
ful residences, whose architecture would
do credit to an eastern city Of the same
size, writes q correspondent Of the New
York Sun.
A business directory issued recently
shows that Oklahoma City has 8 banks,
3 book stores, IL hotels, 8 livery stables,
6 jewelry and 3 music stores, 8 printing
offices, 8 lumber yards, IL restaurants.
3 plumbers. 8 photographers, % grocer
les. Z hardware stores. 10 dry goods and
3 millinery stores. Other trades are all
we'll represented.
Like every other place. Oklahoma
City is well supplied with professional
men 1t has 4S lawyers, 81 physicians,
IL dentists and 2 architects. Since the
directory referred to was published al
Joe plant, machine shops, a cannery,
planning mills, pillow factory, foundry,
cotton gin. elevators and u telephone
exchange have been established. Con-
sidernbly more than 300 tradesmen and
manufacturers are now doing business
on their individual accounts in Okla
homa City.
Alphabetically Oklahoma City re-
sembles Emporia, Kan, which is high
praise. for Emporia is one of the hand
soonest little cities in the west. The
business houses in Oklahoma City are
grouped together on cross streets, in
stead of being strung out along a street
beginning and ending in the prairie,
which is q dismal feature Of a great
many of the new western towns. The
wooden business structures are rapidly
being replaced by buildings of stone
and brick, and it is not too much to
say that in this respect there is no town
of equal size in Kansas that shows to
such advantage as Oklahoma City.
There are already two brick schools
in the town, and a third is building. OF
a school population of l, 778 in Oklaho-
ma City 1, 537 are white children and
241 are negroes.
Above all things this community is
religious. Among its churches are Cath
Ole, Methodist North, Methodist
(South), Episcopal. Presbyterian, Bap-
fist, Congregational and Christian and
German Methodist.
To protect its buildings Oklahoma
City has q brand new and hustling fire
department, with teams, hook and lad
der trucks, hose pipe wagons and fire.

government for school purposes.
