newness "Ah, Mr. Meade!" he said suavely. L met
you at the club the other evening you remember.
Yes, of course. Glad to see you
This your studioe Comfortable quarters" Per-
ham certainly desired to be agreeable. In point of
fact, Meades workshop struck him pitiably lack
ing in what he had of late learned to regard the
mere comforts of life. Ali" he continued as he
caught sight of the portrait on the easel. So
you We been doing him. have you!
Meade watched his visitor curiousy .lssionally
Could he get beneath that bland pink mask, dis
cover and then fix on canvas soul which would
redeem this mans portrait from hopeless medi-
ocrity? Would that discovered soul be pink also:
Perham turned abruptly, surprising Meade's quiz
zical gaze
That's good--that's very good! You'll be a
big gum sure. So you think I'm about to order
one myself eh?
Meade laughed. The idea had crossed my mind
l admit"
You're wrong. AT least not just yet, but later
later. It's another deal l want with you. I'm
business man and put it as plain business ProPo-
Good Lord, roared Meade. Il don't keep the
article in stock
Perham smiled complacent1y. oh. but you can
put your hand what / want all right he said
I've made inquiries, and got your pedigree down
10 T. You're Virgnian, old family and all that
thoroughbred hllies. Now, I've had three seasons
in New York since l came into my money, and l m
blessed if l like the 400 brand Too restless, too
eager too highly seasoned, too knowing, for me-
l want girl with loads of family behind her poor
and proud, who hasn't had her chance at a fling,
and who'll cut big dash here with my money in
way to make the regulars sit up and take notice
In other words haven't got family and POSITION
but I've got the money to buy it, and l choose to
buy it where it's oldest-Jamestown stock and all
that. Will you find me the girl!
Just find herr" asked Meade Or shall play
John Alden, too
John Alden? Oh, YOU mean the Miles Standish
fellow No, III do my proposing all right
don't forget that. But this is my idea. You come
down to my yacht in the North River tomorrow at
three o'clock, and we'll make our plans on the run
down to Palm Beach. Well look the ground over
there and by that time you'll have fixed girl
or two and well make for your home diggings. 1t
amt likely there11 be any but regulars at the beach,
Any crowd on your YACHT" asked Meade.
Perham grinned broadly. His yachting parties

animal now. I've had my fling. But sayl You
haven't asked where you come in when you find the

ducton; but it'll be good thing How would five
thousand dollars cash and my eternal friendship

Meade flushed and said shortly, You overrate
any possible service l may render. Anyone could
give you the introduction, you know. AS it is,

Better stop while you're to the good, Milly,"
Drake advised. Then Meade presented Perham:
Are you going to stake Mr. Perhami" laughed
l shall have to stop. I've heard that you always
succeed at everything you undertake

Perham, and not spoil your luck. III watch to-
Not often" Ruth flashed look at Boyce and
he recalled surprising her when she sixteen,
crying a shabby frock which refused to be
turned SO she could wear it to party. Il love TO
watch Milly, though. She has great luck
Perham serenely monopolized the girl the rest
for the greater part of her dances at the Washing
tons Birthday ball the following night but was only
amused He knew Ruth. So when Perham slapped
him the back after they alone and exclaimed,
She have me all right, old mani" he only
asked:
How do you know she will take you?"
Take me?" snorted Perham "Confound it,
erty Take me? Good Lord! she'll like only too
well to make my money one; 1 fly She's all right
the last girl I'd have picked out for you. | m
il-aid you'll get turned down hard, Perham. I've
Known her since we were children together and
she's not the sort who would marry a man for his
money. Straight and fine and clear cut, she will
marry for love-you may bank on that.
Perham S smile was fatuOuS. On, L III make her
love me all right too and I'm going to marry her,
and don't you forget it!
'Confound it. Perham!" cried Meade striking
his fist on the table so hard that he overturned his
whisky and soda. Let's understand each other.
I've meant to marry Ruth Calvert for years-as
soon l got enough ahead to keep her decently.
Have YOU asked her to waltz" Perham spoke
imperturbably, and showed fresh glass across to
his guest ,s1,
We'll. I'm sorry have chosen your girl; but it
serves you right for dilly-dallying. Some else
would do it if l didn't, and you'll never have the
money to keep her she ought to be kept You

pile; III ask her to pick up my pile and scatter it
the winds though III put the proposition delicately
to her pride Fair field and no favors, and
we'll let the lady choose. Hows that"
In spite of his boosted confidence, Meades assent
was trife sulky; but at the first sight of Ruth
waiting the veranda of the Breakers the next
morning his spirits
Il hardly know you in all this fnery,' he said.

Tell all about yourself, Boyce" she said
they started along the beach under the palms, and
they turned to go home. Then he demanded
abruptly:
Ruth, what did you mean last night? Why
YOU so stand -offsh? You know I've loved you al
ways, and two three more portraits like the last
and I'm coming to pick you up and carry you off

GUESSING ON
A CHAIRMAN

Guthrie, Okla, April 6--There is
much speculation in Republican cir
cles as to who will be elected chairman
of the new state committee. The COM
mittee and chairman will be selected
at state convention TO meet some
time early in May.
Jake Hamon, the present chairman,
is candidate for the place, Some Of
the party leaders here declare that he
cannot be reelected. Two candidates
prominently spoken Of are James Cot
tingham, of Guthrie, and o. A. Wells,
present secretary of the committee.
Wells is clerk of Judge Dickinson's
court at Ardmore. Politicians here are
predicting that neither Wells or Cot
tingham will get the place. II 1t is
decided to give the Craftsmanship TO
the Indian Territory side, Wells is
likely to be the man, with Whiting,
Of Enid, for secretary.
Governor Frank Frantz has selected
DR.. Hugh Scott, his secretary, to
manage his campaign for the gubrna-
material nomination. Delegate B. S.
Mcclure is for Frantz, while Jake
Fl amon's following is inclined to sup
port either Howard or G. @. Jones, of
Oklahoma City. Governor Frantz is
arranging an itinerary and will speak
in every town in the new state.

Guthrie, 0. T., April 5-There is a
persistent rumor that the Oklahoma
election board as constituted by the
constitutional convention to name
election machinery and canvass the
vote Of the first election is preparing
to hide out in case Judge Burford
grants an injunction against the board
in the Greer county division case.
There is strong belief that the
court will issue an injunction in the
Greer county case. The convention
attorneys are planning, If Ithis is the
result, to apply to the United States
supreme court for writ Of prohibition
to restrain the Oklahoma courts from
interfering with the proceedings of
the convention.
If this fails then some believe that
the convention will seek to have the
election board resort to the plan of
getting out Of the jurisdiction Of the
court and going ahead to prepare for
the election.
A prominent attorney has stated
that he considers it doubtful If the
United States supreme court will grant
writ of prohibition in the case.
The discovery has been made that
the election ordinance passed by the
convention fails to provide for the
members Of the election board ac
knowledging their appointment or for
subscribing to an oath Of Office. This,
in the opinion of some good lawyers,
invalidates the election ordinance and
