CHAPTER XIII.-Continued.

Where are the women" asked
Annie, trying to keep down the lump
that rose chokingly in her throat.
They're in a separate part of the
prison" replied the keeper.
Isn't it dreadful" she murmured.
Not at ALL he exclaimed cheer
fully. "These prisoners fare better in
prison than they do outside. | wager
some of them are sorry to leave"
But it's dreadful to be cooped up
in those little cells, isn't it?" she said
Not so bad as it looks" he laughed
"They are allowed to come out in the
corridor to exercise twice day for an
hour and there is splendid shower
bath they can take"
Where is my husbsEd's cell?" she
whispered, almost dreading to hear
the reply.
There it u.s." he said, pointing to a
door. mo. ass"
Walking rapidly ahead of her and
stopping at one of the cell doors, he
raped loudly on the iron grating and
cried:
"Jeffries, here's lady come to see
you Wake up there"
white, drawn face approached the
grating. Annie sprang forward.
Howard" she sobbed.
rs it you, Annie?" came a weak
voice through the bars.
Cant I go in to him." she asked
pleadingly.
The keeper shook his head.
mo, MN, you must talk through
the bars, but | won't disturb you"
He walked away and the husband
and wife were left facing each other.
The tears were streaming down An
MES cheeks. 1t was dreadful to be
standing there so close and yet not
be able to throw her arms around him.
Her heart ached as she saw the dis
tress in his wan, pale face.
why didn't you come before?" he
asked
81 could not. They wouldn't let me.
oh, Howard" she gasped. What
dreadful thing this is! Tell me how
you got into such scrape!"
He put his hand to his head as if it
hurt him, and she noticed that his
eyes looked queer. For a moment the
agony of a terrible suspicion crossed
her mind Was it possible that in
moment of drunken recklessness he
had shot Underwood? Quickly, almost
breathlessly, she whispered to him:
Tell me quickly, it's not true, is it?
You did not kill Robert Underwood"
He shook his head.
NO" he said.
Thank God for that" she ex-
claimed. But your confession-what
does that mean?"
II do not know. They told me l did
it. They insisted l did it. He was
sure l did it. He told me he knew
did it. He showed me the pistol. He
was so insistent that thought he was
right-that l had done it," In deep
whisper he added earnestly: But
you know l didn't, don't you?"
Who is he?" demanded Annie.
The police captain"
"Oh, Capt. Clinton told you you
did it?"
Howard nodded.
Yes, ne told me he knew l did it.
He kept me standing there six hours,
questioning and questioning until |
was ready to drop. l tried to sit
down; he made me stand up. I did
not know what l was saying or doing.
He told me killed Robert Under
wood. He showed me the pistol under
the strong light. The reflection from
the polished nickel flashed into my
eyes, everything suddenly became a
blank. A few moments later the cor
oner came in and Capt Clinton told
him confessed But it isn't true. An ]

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable,
NDr great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing TO cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurabie. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

Chas. II. Tyler-our same old friend
Charley--no a resident OF Oklahoma
City, came in on he stage last Satur-
evening. He came up to get his mares,
which were stolen nearly two years
ago, and which were recovered last
week by Sheriff Peckbam, and to at
tend to other business here which de-
manded his attention. He will remain
here until after the trial of Fred Rich

ceeds from the college lands must un-
der the enabling act be divided into
three parts. one part going to the state
university and the state university
preparatory school, one to the A. & NJ.
college and the colored A. & NJ. univer-
sity, and one to the normal schools.
The greater part OF the $4,000 acres

il has been provided that no lands
should be sold in those counties until
the result of the tests now being made
for artesian water in those counties
could be seen.
Most OF the sales so far have Of course
been farm lands, but the department
has also sold town lots in additions to
Woodward, Hobart, Lawton and Lu-
ther, located on school lsnds. These
lots were appraised at 1925 ,355, and

ing rentals amounting to $500.
In addiyon TO the rentals for agri-
cultural and grazing purposes, the
state has also begun lately to receive a
new source Of income from its oil and
gas leases. No provision was made for
leasing lands for that purpose in ter
ritorial days, and great loss was no
doubt sustained through the draining
OF the oil from beneath the state lands.

segregated for oil and gas in Kiowa,

and S3l, ,7O5 in bonuses have been re-

cluding bonus OF s. for a lease on
Turkey Island, the ownership Of which
is so greatly in dispute. The only de-
veiopment so far has been on $50 acres
Of section near Cleveland, which
has so far brought in royalties of S9,-

The school land department started
with one clerk in back room of the
territorial secretary's Office in the
earlier days OF its existence, but has
now grown to the largest department
of the state government with forty-six
employees, including ten in the farm
loan division, fifteen in the sales divis-
ion (ofiice and field force) and nine

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

Well. little girl, we will try not
to let il happen again
Whereupon the little girl. to reward
him, smiled up very sweetly and
frightened ever so lightly the clasp of
her fingers on his coat sleeve. and the
six-footed man, thrilled in every nerve
by that 1o0-volt current of exquisite
sensation which those fingers had
power to start. quite forgot he had
felt exasperated even for a moment
And apparently all was merry as
wedding bells.
But really it wasn't
For the little girl was committing
one of Judge Rentours Is errors of
life from which l have quoted before:
Not to yield in unimportant trifies.'
Just now the six-foot man finds it
worth while to endure this exasperat-
Ing pettiness, but some day, after
they have been married year or two
there will come time when the cur
rent does not work spontaneously.
and the smile will have become a
commonplace, and then, If the little
girl hasn't grown any wiser. there will
surely be trouble.
Trouble may mean an overharassed
love changed to Indifferent and cold
courtesy.
Or it may more happily mean a
quick revolt that will open the little
girls eyes in time.
Let us hope the latter.
Many women have an idea that
men rather like them to be incon-
sistent and exasperating
So they do.
But as a seasoning for the meal of
life. not for its substance.
They are doubtless glad to have their
cake spiced with the cinnamon of in
consistency and the allspics OF
coquetry. and even little of the GIN
ger of temper and exactness.
But you can win a sure wager If you
bet that there isn't a man living VINO
Will eat very much OF the cake IL he
finds the cook has dumped in a cup
of ginger in the place of the flour of
common sense and livableness.

You aren't glad to see me tonight %
said the six-foot man.
Yes" said the distractingly little
lady. but said it so obviously that of
course, he recognized 1t as equivalest
to q no"
why aren't you glad to see me to-
night7"
Because what7"
You know
II do not"
II told you over the telephone"
Surely you don't mean because I
asked you to come to meet me instead
had some unexpected visitor at the
house for your"
Why not?"
But dear. didn't I tell you that /
had some un expected work that
positively had to do that kept me later
than usual7''
II know. but / think it's perfectly
horrid for a girl to have to go to meet
a man"
But you know / don't often ask
1t of you, and If you hadn't come in
tonight we would have missed half
the first act and made everybody get
up to get to our seats
We'll. I don't know; but It seems
to me that If a man truly liked and
respected a girl he would manage some
way to come to her fathers house and
get her."
The six-foot man looked down at
the distractingly pretty little torment
or, half exasperated. half puzzled. II
this had been an unusual occurrence
1t would not have been so trying, but
1t was not. This was only one of
the many exasperating little spasms
of unreasonableness in which the pref
ty little lady continually INDUCED.
For q moment he remembered the
hours of tense straining to get that
work done In time to go at all, and the
scrap of sandwich which had served
him for a dinner, and he because he
was a six-foot man--six-foot inside as
well as outside-and partly because she
was distractingly pretty, he simply said
gently:
