Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1908-191?, 1909-10-13

A man 80 years of age. who had
been sentenced for life, has been par
doned and released from the New Jer-
sey state prison at Trenton. He was
committed many years ago, and he
comes forth to a world which bewil-
ders him because II is so different
from that which he knew. He had
never seen trolley car. the automo-
bile was an undreamed-of machine for
general use when he was incarcerated
and in many other respects extraor-
dinary changes have been wrought
during the term of his Imprisonment.
Such an incident gives the world it.
self little opportunity to note how
fast 1t is going. though very likely
the old globe will not take time to
give the matter much heed, but will
let out another speed notch and hus-
tic on to still greater things.

wherever he pleased. He was aware
that Hans was his rival, for one Sat
urday night he had come to see Hulda
and found the Swedish swain there.
Hulda had said:
Hans, this is Mr.. Flanagan" and
Hans had responded cordially, but
Michael accepted the introduction sui
kily, and sat scowling at the sink all
the rest OF the evening.
After that the sagacious Mr.. Flana-
gan ceased visiting Hulda on Satur-
days and obtained transfer to an
other platoon. so that he could do his
calling on Monday or Tuesday nights.
Hans did not alter his visiting schd-
ule, so the rivals never met at Hulda's
hane again. Indeed Michael took so
little pains to cultivate Hans acquaint-
ance that he never even dreamed OF
inquiring what the former did for a
living. and this disdainful Indifference
was destined to prove costly In the
end. How Hulda would have learned
to know the true sentiments of her
heart had not Hank O'Day, the ice
man, set in motion a fateful train of
circumstances. one cannot guess
Hank did not know Hulda, he does
not know her to the present day. And
vet IL was none other than the guar
dian OF the ice wagon who unwilling
ly unmasked her hearts desire.
Hank O'Day drove a pair OF remark
ably high-spirited horses. One morn
ing when the ice wagon was empty,
his aesthetic instincts led him to re-
turn to the yards by way of the street
that skirted the park. Just as the
chariot OF fate was nearing Hulda's
home, the chain at the back OF the
wagon slipped and let the end gate
drag upon the ground. Hank swore
imDatiently, stopped his team and
jumped TO the ground to fasten the
chain. He jerked II quickly through
the iron rings and then. swore vivid.
ly again as the team. becoming
alarmed by the sudden noise. sprang
forward and galloped madly down the
avenue, making straight for the near
est entrance to the park. The horri-
fed Hank stood still long enough TO
see the end gate banging out defiance.
Thea he started after as fast as his
rubber boots would let him.
When officer Michael Flanagan
turned from his faithful guardianship
OF bevy OF simpering nurse girls in
the park. he saw coming toward him
at full speed pair of wild-eyed horses
with an ice wagon swaying from side
to side. Behind the seat OF the wagon
stood man trying desperately to get
hold Of the reins. Al once Michael rec
ognized the waving yellow hair and
pale features OF the driver as those
OF the detested Hans. and In the same
moment there came TO him the reali-
zation OF his opportunity for revenge.
He ran into the roadway and as the
flying wagon passed. caught the chain
OF the end gate and swung himself In

The Winnillg Of Hulda
Copyright, by W. @, ChapmanJ
BY Charles L. Doyle


TO the box As he gained his feet the
wagon slowed suddenly and he lurched
forward, bringing up against the back
OF the sturdy driver. seizing him
nrmly by the collar, officer Flanagan
gasped
Il arrest YOU In the name OF the
law" Hans did not quite understand,
but the hands on his collar In the mo-
ment of success made him angry.
What you want?-let me co. he
cried Indignantly
Not me-" retorted Michael triumph.
antly. you are under arrest for driv-
ing traffic team in the park, and
must go with me TO the station"
Hans clung to the reins and refused
TO come. In his broken English he
explained and expostulated, he all but
exploded. Another officer was APP
preaching, and when he came within
earshot the victim of circumstances
appealed TO him volubly. But the
newcomer was Indifferent If Hans
was arrested why OF course he must
go to the station, and so to the station
he went, in charge Of the exultant
Flanagan
The magistrate was busy when they
arrived and Hans was allowed TO go
until the afternoon, when he was told
he would be given a hearing Police

she heard that Hans had offended the
majesty of the law and been arrested.
There was no fear that she of the
fiaxen hair and bright eyes would not
hear OF the occurrence. Michael
would attend personally TO the convey
ance OF the tidings.
In the afternoon Oficer Flanagan
made his appearance in court Hans
came in due time, accompanied by no
less person than Hulda. With them
were also his employer, MIR. Ball. and
Hank O'Day, the iceman Michael mar
rated the details of the arrest. and
then Mr.. Ball had his innings.
lie told the magistrate how Hans,
at the risk of his life, had sprung into
the runaway wagon as II dashed by
the building where he was employed
and succeeded in bringing the mad
dened team TO halt after passing the
park entrance. This statement was
corroborated by Hulda, who had wit
messed Hans daring leap. and lastly
Hank O'Day testified that he was the
regular driver of the team.
Before discharging Hans, the magis
trate addressed few remarks to Off
Ger Flanagan which made that zeal.

CROPS AND COST OF LIVING.

Predictions of cheaper living. based
upon ample crops, must be taken with
some caution. We are not confronted
by the problem of two-dollar wheat.
which Mr.. Patten probably did not ex-
pect when he was predicting It last
spring. His prediction served his
purpose admirably. Instead Of ship
ping wheat into Chicago and breaking
the May market-the sort of thing that
has broken nearly every predecessor
of Mr. Patterns bull" operations-the
farmers held on to their wheat and
waited for that two-dollar quotation,
says the Philadelphia Record The
harvest began less than a month after
the May option closed, and we now
have every assurance that the wheat
crop will exceed 700 O,000,000 bushels,
and may reach 735,OOO.OO0 bushels.
Wheat is selling in Chicago for less
than dollar. Food ought to be. and
probably will be, cheaper than II has
been lately. But cotton and wool are
high and textile prices show no dis
position TO recede. Most of the prices
are rising. Structural steel is not a
commodity that the average citizen
purchases, but he is affected by its
price; and all steel prices are up.
Hides are on the free list. but the
shoe stores and factories are stocked
up with goods purchased before the
repeal of the hide duty, and prices are
not yet coming down. The most Inn
portant item Of expense is rent, and
with the growth of population that
tends upward. but the extensive build
ing operations all over the country
may keep abreast of the demand.
