CHAPTER XI,

door through which Mr.. Sonntag had
gone. Amazement held possession of
me. A thousand and one questions
whirled through my head.
But my lawyer had departed. l final
ly strobe to the window in the hope of
finding him within hailing distance.
He was far down the Twineburgh
road, too far to call him.
/ saw him pull up his horse and lean
forward and address man who had
approached kim from the opposite di-
rection.
The conversation lasted but minute,
and then horseman and pedestrian each
went on their several ways.
When the pedestrian drew nearer /
saw it was Hunter, the station agent AT
Sidington, or, as Sonntag had informed
me, Skinner. 1t seemed very odd that
he should have assumed another name.
Then my eye caught the glimpse of a
horsewoman coming down the road
from the direction of the Morley resi-
dence. II needed but that glimpse to
tell me that it was Florence. She was
coming toward the house, perhaps to
see me.
When she reached the cross-road lead
ing to Sidington and Twineburgh, up
which the man Hunter was approach
ing, she refined up her horse.

Late Happenings of More Than
Ordinary Interest
DinnInc Xais at Nnhln


The announcement by the 0tlHhoma
board that dipping watts have been com
pleted at Noble for the purpose OF de-
stroying the ticks that propagate the
Texas fever means much for the cattle
men and farmers of Oklahoma, IL the
experiments are successful. 1t is the
purpose of the sanitary board to test
thoroughly the alleged merits of GER
tain petroleum oils for killing ticks
These oils are now on the way from
the east. In addition to the watts pens
have been constructed for dipping iso-
lated cattle until it can be shown def
nitely that the oil baths into which
the cattle are plunged from a pivot
platform will destroy beyond the ques-
tion of doubt, every tick on the cat
tie. These experiments are the first
to be undertaken, 1T is claimed by any
state. except Texas and Missouri.
Texas fever will no longer be a
source of constant danger TO cattle
men If The experiments are successful.
Cattle may be brought from infected
districts at any time of the year, dipped
and turned toose on Oklahoma ranges.
Farmers will have constant market
for their forage. Cattle from the ter
ritory, it is hoped, can eventually be
reshipped to northern markets without
the handicaps that effects all cattle
that are now shipped from fever in
fected districts. Success at Noble will
result in the building OF dipping watts
all along the tr ails in western Okla
homR.

gave vent to a nervous laugh, and at
the same time darted sharp glance
at me, which, momentary as it was
nevertheless was so different from his
usual half-wondering stare that / was
impressed by it.
"Oh, l don't know what part of the
house is used by the spirits. How
should / know?"
There had been something irritating
to me in the fellow, and, as there was
hint of insolence in his last words,
l gave way to my impatience.
''See here; you have given me some
strange hints about my house." be-
gan sternly; "now, then, you'll please
explain more fully what you mean,
Mr.. Hunter, or perhaps, should say,
Mr.. Skinner"
/ do not know what impelled me to
add the name which Sonntag said was
the correct one, but the effect on the
fellow startled me considerably.
His eyes grew staring, and a terrified,
hunted expression came over his face.
CHANGING furtively around and draw
ing back step or two, his hand went
to his hip-pocket.
AS the CLINT of a shining object
caught my eye, drew suddenly back to
one side of the window, and the next
instant pistol report sounded out.
| stood still a moment, dumfounded
by the attack then dropped on my
hands and knees and crept past the win
dow to the table, in the drawer of which
l had placed my pistol. Hastily grasp
ing the weapon and noting that it was
ready for use, 1 arose and approached
the window, holding the pistol before
me in readiness. !.
1.-TWO can play at your game, Mr.. -"
But got no further. The man was no.
where to be seen.
/ hastened from the house and ran
around, searching for him. but no trace
could discover. He had vanished COM
pletely. His sudden disappearance
puzzled me.
l soon gave up the search, put the pis-
tol in my pocket, and started briskly up
the road toward the Morley place.
If the station agent was such des-
perate fellow as to draw and shoot at a
word, what could Florence have to do
with him?
1t was strange that Sonntag should
know the fellows right name and not
know the danger attendant on calling
hiIr by it. My lawyer had seemed sur
prised when L stated that the fellow
had told me his name was Hunter. In
all probability Sonntag had addressed
him by the name OF Skinner many
times, and the fellow had not resented
it. OF the lawyer would have mentioned
the fact. Why, then, should he resent
in SO fierce and deadly manner my use
Of his right name?

The statistical returns by the differ
eat county clerks to the territorial
auditor for 1898 are disappointment
to persons who expected to find them
accurate and complete. Auditor y. n.
Hopkins exercised great care and pa
thence in urging the county clerks to
require good work from the assessors
but his efforts were futile. Some of
the counties, however, made honest
returns. In view of the fact that the
cotton acreage for 1898 was reported
to he much less than in 1897, there WAS
much interest in what the statistics for
1898 would show. They have com
parative value and are as follows:
Blaine, l3,354; Canadian, 1878; Clev.
Gland, 15.767; Custer, 6,s65; ID, 2,3s9;
Day, 226; Garfield, 2,272; Grant, 2,2s3;
Greer. 32,s00; Lincoln, 2,974: Logan,
9,047; Noble, 5000; Oklahoma; 1i,246;
Pawnee, 5000; Payne, l5,6O6; Potta-
watomi, 20, ,962; Washita, 80, 3Os. Total,
l70,676. Beaver does not raise cotton.
Garfield probably has not less than
$500 acres in cotton; Woods perhaps
500: Woodward II, 1855 to be added, or a
grand total of 1872, s3l acres. With AN
average of one-half bale to the acre,
Oklahoma's cotton crop this year
would be practically 81 900 bales. This
is Sc per cent of last years crop of
$4,000 bales. Cotton buyers claim,
however, that this years yield will be
not more than one.fourth less. The
decrease is due to low prices in 1897.

PAY "A Double Tax

Ponca City Courier: The white peo-
pie of the Usage reservation have a
grievance which is real and not fan
cied. They are subject to the Usage
tax, and ore also taxed by Oklahoma
a double taxation. The last tax com
pels them to pay into the treasury of
an adjoining county a tax TO support
schools, build bridgcs, pay officers sal
aries and sustain courts. All OF these
bring no direct benefits to the people
taxed and in most instances no benefit
at all. The Usage reservation has no
representative in the Oklahoma legis-
lature to champion their cause and the
taxation to which they are subject is
in opposition 10 the principles of
American government. II is taxation
without represents ION. The Usage
people should be given justice.

should Cultivate school Land.

C. D, Mccoy Of Cleo, appraiser for
the school land department has re-
turned to Guthrie from a trip through
the counties of Blaine, Kingfisher and
Woods. He said that there was not a
school section in Kingfisher county
that could not be put in cultivation.
There is still considerable unleased
school lands in the rough portions of
Woods and Blaine counties. Much Of
this unieased land in Blame county
is covered with "blow sand" (sand
which shifts with the wind and is
ragged with scrubby black oaks. Free
quently, however, tracts of from five
to ten acres are found in small valleys
which produce excellent crops. The
large salt springs in Blaine county
have been acquired by the Meunonites,
who are manufacturing salt and sell
ing it 10 farmers and cattlemen
throughout western Oklahoma.

When the fellow came up to Florence,
L was surprised TO see him stop and en-
gage her in a conversation which last
ed some minutes and appeared to be
rather earnest, judging by the way
Florence leaned down toward him.
Finally the young woman turned her
horses head and galloped back in the
direction she had come.
The station agent watched her re-
treating form, then slowly began TO re-
trace his steps. He had gone but
short distance when he stopped and
looked toward my house, then again
turned and came back.
l watched him from behind the cur
tains. AS he approached near saw
his clothing was wet and bedraggled,
which plainly showed that he had been
out in the recent shower.
He came up to the house in a hesitat-
ing way, glancing all around furtively,
and was about to r'ss up into the yard,
when / leaned from the window and
hailed him.
'Halloo, there! what's up? What do
you want 2" l demanded.
Glancing up at me with his stupid
stare, he spoke. "When you want to
send anything away by freight, have it
at the station before nine o'clock in the
morning" he said, in the celebrating
way of one who is compelled to manu-
facture a speech on the spur of the
moment.
