When all was quiet except for the

enjoying It her face failed to indicate
the emotion. In tones OF great pa
ttence sh9 was imploring Marian to
cease crying.
She Cried Quietly.
The child, however, didn't seem to
wa1t to stop. Anyway, she was cry-
ing very quietly. She is only s 1-2
years old and she had been picked up
by strange man and tossed into the
lap Of & woman and raced for so or
more miles across the country in q
motor car and placed into a bare
brick building, where she saw few
persons beside strangers. Her moth
er had come and stayed q while and
gone away, and she was alone among
people she had never seen before in
her life. Only an occasional sound
came from her throat; her eyes
spouted tears. Evidently she had
been taught not to cry loudly. When
the visitor entered the room she was
struggling to get down from Mrs. Bar
cley's lap.
''No, no. dearie," Mrs. Barclay was
saying. "Wait awhile"
II want to get down." replied Mar

perched herself on the visitors knee.

"They wouldn't let me go home with

want to CO." Wherewith she cried
some more. A little coaxing and the
stereotyped lie that her mother would
be back pretty soon, presently weaned
her out Of her trouble. She began
prattling Of the things that interes
her.
A little later when the visitor left,
marian was over in one corner Of the
room. while her foster mother, the
woman who probably saved her life,
was endeavoring to coax her to her
lap. But Marian couldn't know.
!. The legal side of the case was
opened this morning when Judge E.

began the hearing Of the habeas cor
proceedings filed by James ana Stella

Barclay, who Is believed to be one his

The Fair Was AT a Loss

the special sales that are held from time to time
through the fall season. For instance: Beginning

tiful line of them at wondrously little prices fac.

up to Sl.25; 32c for values up to 75c; 23c for
values up to Soc Looks pretty good, don't it

them? These new Embroideries are a good thing

UNION
DEPOT IS
DESIRED

That there Is popular demand at
this time for action in the matter Of
seeQEIns 4 union depot for chiekasha
one has but to mingle with the active
boosters to be convinced. The senti-
nsent seems 10 be unanimous that If
this could be secured at this time
when there are preparations being
made BY the two different companies
10 erect depots here it would be
great achievement. Without showing
any disposition 10 give advice to the
railroad companies who expressed pur-
pose it is to build, they express the be-
lief that one good union depot should
be built at less cost than two, and es-
peciaIly when the depot grounds for
one is yet to be condemned and pur-
chased, to say nothing Of ahe round
about way at which it is proposed that
the Oklahoma Central is to reach its
proposed depot and the immense cost
which this item alone will entail.
In speaking of this matter. all agree
that they would not willingly put either
road to any unnecessary expense or
impose any unnecessary hardships,
but, they argue, since one road seeks
to cross the other. they express the
opinion that union depot would be
the most feasible.
Attention has been called to the fact
that in case the people OF Chickasha
desire. they can, as a step toward Sc
curing legal aid. invoke the power Of
the state corporation commission.
which has within the last few months
forced the railroads to build at least
two union depots in the western part
OF the state,
All agree that if the three roads now
here are to have separate depots and
each at great distance from the
other, as now contemplated. the mat
ter Of transfer must ever remain not
only confusing but expeHziee 70 the
travelling public
Attention is called to the fact chat no
other town Of its size in the great
Southwest will equal Chickasha in the
volume Of business which il furnishes
the railroads, and therefore, they say,
ii is entitled to consideration in the
matter of building depots. Besides, it
is on the eve Of extensive growth
when every day sees property values
going up.
The hope IS generally expressed that
the two roads which contemplated
building depots can get together on
this proposition.
