 Do you know" said the voice, tits dreadfully careless of you pointing that thing at anybody so. Why, it might go off"
 Turning about, Busby looked into the piquant features of Susie Cutler He decided unhesitatingly that, not withstanding some freckles and the tendency of the nose to turn up, it was a rather pleasing face to view.
 ''So it might" said Busby slowly. ''So it might
 "Well. then, stop aiming it at liar MT. Burlington. she commanded. ''You make me nervous"
 "Fact is, said Busby, "I was sort of planning to shoot MT. Burlington"
 He had lowered his weapon and spoke very calmly and deliberately.
 "Whatv' shrieked the girl. You have the audacity to stand there and tell me you mean to commit cold blooded murder? Where are the po- lice? A splendid place this must be to live in, where a man goes out to kill another as coolly as he'd eat his breakfast!'
 ''That's the way with all you folks from out Boston way" grumbled Bus by. You're always getting murder and the administration of justice mixed. I ain't going to murder him. Pm going to execute him. He's done me dirt, and if he ain't killed he'll do somebody else dirt. So for the good of everybody he'd ought to be shot. What do you care anyway? Ain't no relative of yourn, is he?"
 'Why, mo-" she answered in some confusion, he isn't a relative exactly that is. he''-
 A gleam of comprehension shone in Busby's eyes.
 Come to think of it." said he, 'I heard something about his being go- ing to get married. Be you the girl? 2
 She nodded.
 'Yes," she answered simply, ''Pm the girl"
 Then" said Busby, tits clear enough to my mind that in interfering with this execution you're preventing me from doing you great favor. Howsomever, if you stick to it that you don't want him shot and if you'll take him out of Nevada and keep him out''-
 The girl did not wait for him to fin ish. She transferred her grasp from Busby's arm to that of Harrington, who during the preceding conversation had stood silent, his face white, his limbs trembling, cold sweat beading his forehead.
 "Come, Harry" she said imperiously.
 Weekly, with bowed head and down cast eyes, Harrington suffered her to lead him aboard the train, which was now, the track being clear, about to move eastward.
 Jim Busby sat down upon the edge of the platform and burst into a roar of laughter. Long after the train had disappeared around the curve below the station the station master found him there, his broad shoulders still shaking with merriment.
 Well, you doddering idiot" said the station master, whats the jokeT'

VETERANS CHOOSE
OKLAHOMA CITY
UNITED STATES SPANISH WAR
VETERANS CHOSE NEW STATE
MANY COMPETITORS.
(From The Oklahoman)

News was flashed over the wire
/ from Denver Wednesday afternoon
that the hard fight of the Oklahoma
delegates had been crowned with
success and that the United States
Spanish War Veterans had chosen
Oklahoma City as the scene Of their
next national encampment
This is one of the biggest OF the
annual national gatherings of the
country and one for which Louisville,
Dallas, Saratoga Springs and many
other cities of the country were
avowed candidates.
Although the work of the Oklaho-
ma contingent, which has been car
rled on without cessation for the
last two months, had caused many
of the delegations to instruct for
this city and made it decided ia
vorite before the balloting began,
the actual result remained in doubt
up until the last day of the encamp-
ment.
Other cities, both in the east and
west, offered big inducements to the
veterans, and the east came strength
ened with the argument that the last
two gatherings had been west of the
Mississippi, and that it was now
time Tor the honor to go to the old.
er states.
A speech Of L. J. Giddings, of the
local camp of the organization, swept
the convention off its feet, and caus-
ed a stampede for Oklahoma that
gave It the next encampment by n
onesided vote.
The coming Of the veterans o. the
war to Oklahoma City in 1911 will
mean that her resources as a con
yention city are to be taxed to the
utmost. over 1000 veterans will as
semble for the three days reunion
and encampment and several thou
sand visitors will be attracted to
witness the festivities that always
accompany a gathering of the eX-
soldiers
Among the noted onehs who will
attend the encampment are Col. The
odore Roosevelt, Gen, Leonard Wood
and Gen. Nelson A. Miles.

ROYALTY FROM OIL
ON SCHOOL LANDS
ONE SECTION THAT PAYS $1,000
MONTH FROM OIL AND GAS
LANDS NOT HOMESTEADEO.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Sept. 1.-The
state of Oklahoma has one section
of school land that is paying it 81
200 a month in royalty from oil and
gas wells. In all, the state has sew
eral sections of valuable oil and gas
lands, which it IS leasing to oil
companies.
At recent meeting of the board,
a lease was approved on four oil
and gas sections in Pawnee county.
Most of the land, aside from being
fertile in oil and gas, is valuable
for farming. r. l.. Lunsfold, an eX-
perienced oil and mineral man, is
in charge of the oil, gas and min
cral lands of the state. He spends
lnost of his time in the fields,
In addition to the sale OF the
preference Rights lands, opening
Oct. !, there will be "a large num-
ber of town lots. The town prop
/ erty is located near towns, and has
| been rented, the same as farm lands.
The renters will have the first right
to purchase the property.
| A meeting of the school land COM
missioners was held Thursday af-
| ternoon in Governor Haskell's room.
The session was devoted principally
to routine matters.
c. IL. Hyde of Alva, secretary, and
I. s. Paris of jefferson, treasurer
of the school land lessees' associ-
alton. having succeeded in uncover
ing an act of July 2. 1862, which
gives 10 the state of Oklahoma 1860
acres of land. The act was passed
for the benefit of the A. & NJ. Col
iege, providing that certain number
of acres are to be received by the
school according TO the number OF
congressman in a state. Under the
act, all land not homesteaded under
llt COlNllIOAS Ol Lut HOIltcl ltdu law -
reverts TO the state in which it is
located, provided the state accepts It
within three years after statehood.
The land involved originally sold for
SIPS an acre, but has advanced to
s.. Fifty-Uwo quarter sections of the
land is located in the Lawton land
Office district, and most Of it was
filed upon at one time, but the
homesteaders abandoned il. The les
sees association has called Attorney
General Vests attention to the mat
ter and it is probable legal steps
will be taken to have the state take
over the property.
The land likely will be placed upon
the market with the other school
land and sold Much of the land is
not valuable only for grazing pur-
poses.
