"Holcomb is my name," said the young man in very pleasant voice and with an enunciation that carried weight in itself; we've met at the Players club"
 "Oh, yes,' said Graham, "I remem. Der very well. You are friend of Jim Hale. Are you playing with this com panyT'

 "Well, that's luck, by gad!' said Graham. Miss Fullerton, may I in troduce MT. Holcomb?" A few oth- CT delft. clever phrases, for young Win throp was not without mentality, and he asked Holcomb to give Dora the benefit of his knowledge and expert ence.
 'I have not had much experience ' said MT. HOlcomb, "as I have only been on the stage two years. What ever I have had, however, shall be most decidedly at her service, and will begin now. We have three min utes to get on the stage and be ready for the 10 o'clock call, and it will be call in a double sense if we are late believe me. I will see you again. he said and bowed to Graham. They disappeared into the dark alley of the theater, and the disconsolate young lover, beating vigorously with his cane at the stoOp railings and ash cans along the street, with hat pulled dowI over his eyes, walked straight to the nearest cafe.
 Graham Winthrop and Willard Hol comb were young men of characters that widely diyerged. Winthrop's fam lily, long of great wealth, guaranteed him a position iE the social wOrlG which was unquestiOnably secure and impressive to those numerous ambi tious personages who aim and yearr to achieve an entry into fashions ex elusive world.

What right have I to use my fathers name to bolster myself up, to get a po- sition in New York, go on as a maid, saying The carriage waits and have my pictures printed in the papers and get attention more than is given to the woman of ability simply because I am the daughter of Professor Full lerton? You abhor yellow journalism and yet you encourage it. I got my position as Miss Fullerton without in- fluence and that-to me-is the only way to start. If I fail fail; if I suc- ceed succeed. If I have any of the ability I think I have, if I have any, thing except the disreputable instincts Aunt Cornelia thinks have inherited, the credit for my success will be mine, and, Graham. dear, sooner or later. before Aunt Cornelia has killed me ab- solutely, l am going to do something in this world that will be absolutely mine."
 Now and then somebody passed the earnest couple, but they were too wrought up with their own problem to pay much attention to casual ac. quaintances. As they neared Long Is- land City the young man made his final plea.
 Dora" he said. and there was a lit. tie break in his voice, CT don't want you to do this thing, but if you must why not let us get married first and let me go with you!'
 The girl shook her head sadly. q am sorry, Graham, but am afraid that, too, is over. I suppose"-and a humorous twinkle came back in her eyes-'marriage with you would even make Aunt Cornelia feel that there was some possible hope for me. But I am not going to marry yet. I don't feel that should. I am going to work out this idea. If it fails, why. I sup pose will come back, eat humble pie and accept the husband who will be picked for me"
 You know you picked me yourself, ? said the young man, just a trifie an grily.
 We are both very young yet,'' she said. By this time the exodus from the train to the ferry kept them busy with the exchange of salutation anG conversation that marked the Monday morning entrance into New York.
 ''Then it is quite true you are goins on the stage, Miss Fullerton?' asked one of Graham's friends who joined them.
 Quite true. You will come and set

 The first two or three days nothing in any way disturbed her equanimity. In fact, 1t was all interesting, exciting and, as far as she could observe, as re- fined as anything in her own exclusive life Just the same as other men and women they came, they attended to business they went, seemingly they met only on the stage, they were de- ferentiaI toward one another and all ways extremely polite. They were particularly polite toward her.
 It was during the fourth days re hearsal that she. received her frst shock. The beetle browed manager of the troupe, who had been rehears ing them with great suavity up to that time, came in half hour late this particular morning and slapped his hands vigorously.

Other insurgent headers expressed
themselves along similar lines. It is
certain that number rof the leaders
of the insurgents have in mind at
least two things of this session: First
the deposition of Speaker Cannon. un-
less he voluntarily retires; second,
the estimate of committee ON com

One insurgent, VINO would not allow
the lAse oof his name, said:

we VIII depose him before this session

BOND ELECTIONS
HERE TOMORROW
1.-Two important Bond Issues Are Sub.
r1,itted to People at Special
Electfen.

Tomorrow win be election day in
TWlnita. At this electiun the people are
asked to decide whether or NOT the
mayor and city council shall issue
I$l2,000 in bonds for the purpose of
taking up the excess Indebtedness of
the city, and $4,000 to extend the city
water works system.
The matter of the deficit in the city
funds for the payment of the ex-
penses of the city government for the
year. ending July l, 1910, has been
explained in the columns of the Chief
tain before. but brief explanation
as herewith repeated The amount of
money raised by the tax levy of ten
mills, which is the limit under the
state constitution, is not sufficient to
pay the current expenses of the city.
hence the great depreciation of the
value of the city warrants. The city
officials have prepared a statement of
the receipts and expenditures for the
entire year, to show that the city re-
ceiVed actual value, in service or ma.
terial, for the warrants issued in ex-
cess of the amount to be collected by |
tax. In order to authorize the issu-
ing of bonds for taking up this in
debtedness it will be necessary for the
issue to the favorable vote of three
fifths of the voters, voting at the
special election tomorrow.
The need for the water works bond L
issue is apparent to all, who were in i
Vinita last summer during the drouth.
The qualification of voters for this
issue, is that they must be property
tax payers in the city, and only a
is required to carry this is

several months ago.

yOrce on the ground of abandonment
What is believed to be the begin
ming of long line of litigation was
begun here Saturday afternoon when
Judge Brown of the district court
granted an injunction restraining the
state authorities from collecting taxes
on Indian lands.
The writ was granted at the in
stance Of two Cherokee citizens who
are among the many Indians on the
east side that are opposing the tax
alton of their lands.
Certain it is that the question of
the states power to tax Indian lands
will be fought out in the higher
courts and many believe it will take
a decision Of the United States SUI
preme court before the matter is fin
ally settled
According to numerous treaties with
the Five Civilized Tribes their lands
were not to be taxed so long as they
in the hands of the original
allottee. Two years ago the Curtis
Dill in congress made all Indian lands
.axable except the homsteads of full
floods. This is another of the many
questions that will have to be finally
determined, some authorities holding
he state has the right to tax the home
teads.
The case is one which affects i
arge number of people and many {
thousands of acres of land in the east {
rn portion of the state. Owners and q
uyers of such lands are anxious for
speedy settlement of the question
[ their taxability. '
