DO you think so?" Wiltshire argu
ed, in his literal way isn't it rather
that the old painters give you a
glimpse Of the life of their day?-a
line of hills; a village, castle, a re-
ligious procession, knight riding
with his hounds, a ploughman working
in the fields. This is too little typical
for what they wanted, and besides, it
isn't the life that has grown out Of
the soil, but the one which idlers from
other lands have implanted on It,"
So they fell to discussing Monte
Carlo, and Paula was foiled again.
She sighed softly to herself as they
moved on, and after passing through
an old gray gateway vaulted with yell
low arches, came up into the Place
du Palais.
On the left across the great square,

red and orange. The palace, long,

shore the sea reflected all the shades

while farther away, towards Spain
and Africa, 1t deepened into Homerlc
wine-dark violet.
How wonderful" Paula murmured
just above her breath. "This air.
This immensity!"

A SUIT OVER GAS LANDS.
Mrs. Kirk and Her Husband Demand
$2,25O for Rental.

A suit has been instituted in the
district court against E. A. Bowen H
E Barnes and the Lucky Ten Oil &
Gas company by Eliza beth G. Kirk
and Buchan C. Kirk. in which the
Kinks demand damages to the amount
of $2,25O.
From the petitioning papers, which
have been filed with the clerk of the
district court, il seems that on March
%, 1904, the Kinks leased to Mr..
Bowen and Mr.. Barnes some land in
Neosho county which was TO be pros
pected by them for oil and gas. The
Kinks claim that they were to receive
rental for the property at the rate of
$3.50 for each three months. They
claim also that Bowen and Barnes as
signed the lease to the Lucky Ten Oil
& Gas company on August 5, 1904. It
is declared by the Kinks that they
never received a cent in rental for the
property and so they bring suit for
$2.250, which represents what the rent
would have amounted to up to the
time the lease was abrogated.
