Romantic Notions of CowgirIs Gone

N Poindexter came out west from
the east in 1906 he had all kinds Of
romantic ideas about cowboys, wild
Indians. cowgirls and life on the
plains. Finding life in Oklahoma City
little different from that in the east,
he went out on a ranch near Tulsa,
in search of the little romance left
in western life. There he wooed and
wed a ranchman's daughter In a
week he knew what It was to be a
real tenderfoot His wife told him to
wash the dishes. He refused. She
reached for her revolver, pointed it
at him in q threatening manner and
told him to dance. He made such a
terrible mess Of dancing she told him
to stop that and take up the dish rag.
That's a pretty dear; now kiss

CHAPTER XIII.
In Which We Sail Due South.

In Which We Sail Due South.
As l sank down into the recesses of
cushioned chair in the cabin, my
spirits at lowest ebb, glanced up at
the telltale compass-we were already
headed due south.
Those days and nights following,
while serving to bear us continually
deeper into the immense eXpanse Of
water that concealed the mystery
awaiting us in the great South sea,
contained little of incident directly re-
lating to this narrative. Day following
day that same wide circle of the sky
came down to unite with the circle of
the waters. 1t was almost as though
we remained motionless, "a painted
ship upon a painted ocean,; only the
figures on the paper, the pins on the
chart, the sharp stem cleaving the
waves asunder, and the oily wake
astern leaving us aware of steady
progression through this trackless
desert of the sea.

through the water like great U.id,
leaning over until at times her lee
rail was all awash with white foam

spume,
Tuttle drove her recklessly, holding
on in spite of cracking wood and sails

Lady Darlington became positively
afraid OF him, dreadlng his approach,
shrinking from his address, yet not dar'

endeavored to lead him TO some more
pleasant subject he would return with
dogmatic persistence TO that one rath'

weariness, and he never seemed TO
