The coachman climbed back to his

He was waiting for his employer,
Henry Maybee, the railway magnate-
At last Maybee came out into the
open air rejoicing in his liberty AS
he opened his carriage door, for him.
self Maybee was arrested by the
sound of honest Joyce's voice
1--WE just seen Miss Salome, sir
where" asked Maybee, looking up
and down the street
She came out of that big door, sir,
an hour ago, and she stopped and
asked after the children, and then
went her way without saying any
thing about herself"
.Well-which way?" Maybee's voice
was anxious.
Just down street-that way" said
the man.
Very good, thank you, Joyce"
.She do be workin' in this big
place. said Joyce.
Mr. Maybee stepped into the car
riage, closed the door; and Joyce
gathered up the reins for the home
ward drive
Before the fire sat Lewis, the rich
mans son. He looked up when his
father came in. His salutation was
but an Indifferent murmur.
The elder man affected a brisk
cheerfulness. He drew his chair to
the fire, threw the evening papers to
Lewis, and feigned not to --otice that
they dropped upon the rug.
How are you, and has the doctor
been here today" inquired the IA

sighed Lewis. Eve been travelling

the sameness Of life that the doctor
complains of
His face dropped again-the pale
Iistless face.
He sat down far back in his deep
chair and to his fathers ear there
came the whispering sound of a half
stifled sigh.
Henry Maybee, too. bowed his head,
and sat looking into the fire.
Then he telephoned to Dr. Bell. ask
ing the old physician to come and see
him. that evening. if possible.
When the two friends were seated
together in Mr.. Maybee's study. the
railroad man began without any ifs
OF butts:
What shall do with Lewis, Doc
tor?"
Whats the matter with him?'
asked DIR. Bell.
Whats the matter with him? Why,
you're his physician and ought to
know." retorted Mr.. Maybee.
Whats the real matter with him 90
persisted the doctor.
In love-" said the father, laconic-
ally.
And a hard case" the doctor NUT
tered. ''lasts q good while-travel,

Unless we can rouse him. he's gone"
He paused, aghast at the effect of
his words.
Mr. Maybee looked the stricken man
that he was.
At last he spoke: Hes in love
with that mink, Salome, my ward
TIE girl from out West, you know,
and she's run away from him and
from mel was glad when she went.
She would have made his life
wretched and mine unbearable, and 1
told her soI''
We'll, 1 must be going" the doc
tor said after a silence "Asc or
! ITO to see before 1 go to bed
do you mean what you say about
Lewis, Doctor? You know he is my
| ALL am alone but for him. Can't
you think of something's"
We've tried everything" replied
DR.. Bell There's nothing to do but
let him alone. Perhaps he'll pull out
of it himself if we give Linn time.
Anyway he will if he's the right sort
of man, and if he isn't"
Don't say that, Doctor. he's my
son!"
Mr.. Maybee was white and aged in
look. The blow had been sudden, this
| serious turn in what he had regarded
as piece of silly nonsense.
He sank back in his great leather
| chair, when he had said goodnight
to the doctor. Deep thought took hold
of him. He had no particular griev-
| ance against Salome Mcintyre. Her
father had left her to the care of his
old friend, and after she came from
| college she had settled in the Maybee
home, which was ruled, as to its do
nestle affairs. by Aunt Sophie-an an
cfent widowed poor relation Of great
pride and selfimportance.
| All had gone well until Lewis came
home from his trip around the world.
| He fell an easy victim to Salome's
big blue eyes and pretty ways. The
| father saw at once what had hap
pened. His plans for his son were
sadly interfered with. He tried to
| pack Salome away on a visit to her
western friends. but the girl wouldn't
| go. Then he had what he called a
business talk with her. He ex-
planned how little money she had and
| told what pains he had been obliged
| to take to save for her even that, and
talked about her earning her own way,
| and the upshot of the business talk
| was, that Salome left the house. bag
| and baggage. She wrote for an &C
counting as to her small property,
through an attorney. Mr.. Maybee
promptly turned the matter over to
his attorney and the lawyers settled
| the whole affair within month Sa-
lone prepared herself. and went to
work as a stenographer, but she an
nounced her plans to no one.
Lewis, easily led to believe that
Salome had fed before his lover-like
attitude, was in despair. He was
trotted here, and galloped there,
South, East, West and North, by sea,
by land, in foreign countries and at
home. and he grew daily into settled
invalidism-
That was the outcome of business
methods" in a love affair
So, with head on his breast, the
oId man sat AS the clock struck

IN the hall and on the stairway, as he
| went to his sleeping-room-

Joyce.

Yes. SIR" said Joyce, his small
Liack eyes twinkling.
AS Salome worked as q stenogra-

he< come out of the door, as she did
on this, as on every other evening,
at half past five. He pretended not
to notice her, and accordingly she
took no note of him, but walked quick
ly away-her cheeks reddening in the
keen fresh air.
Two days after, when Salome came
down from her work she was met at
the big outer door by Mr. Maybee.
-Salome," he said, Won't you come
home to dinner? Here's Joyce with
the carriage"
And before she could speak he had
opened the carriage door, and was
helping her into it.

gentleman, as he slammed the door

Lewis sat inside of that carriage,

The band boys would have ap-
preciated it very much if that
temporary band stand at Third
and Chickasha could have been
made a permanent affair. And
that reminds us OF suggestion
A permanent band stand
could be erected on the d. ID.
sayer lot just opposite and east
Of w. L. Sawyers' new buildings,
at cost OF about $50. It would
be an excellent place for the con-
certs, as it could be approached on
two sides, while the 5awyers ele-
vated side walk would make fine
grand stsnd for the audience
The lot itself would hold many
people. The band would sppTe-
ciate having q permanent place to
give their concerts, as it is con-
siderable trouble 10 move from one
intersection to another, while the
matter of good light is always an
involved problem. Lets have q
band stand.

also claim that these liquors were

they could be sold in this nation
