Vertically "struck OIL"

Land which was absolutely forced
on the Snake Indians in the Creek
river country, Oklahoma, is proving
the source of inestimable riches, ow-
ing to the discoveries In that sec
ton by oil prospectors. About nine
years ago the government decided to
alIot arbitrarily to the Snakes. All
the good land was gone, and they
gave them allotments in section
Of the Creek nation where the land
was considered worthless. The fed
eral government set aside 100 acres
for each Snake, the land being CLASH
fed at two dollars an acre. Since oil
was struck the rights of the Indians
have been carefully guarded by the
department Of the interior.

CHAPTER x.


At an early hour the next morning,
Sweetwater stood before the coroner's
desk, urging plea he feared to hear
refused. He wished to be present at
the interview soon to be held with Mr..
Brotherson, and he had no good rea-
son to advance why such privilege
should be allotted him.
The coroner, who had had some
little experience with this man, sur
veyed him with a smile less forbid
ding than the poor fellow expected.
"You seem to lay great store by it,"
said he; eff you want to sort those
papers over there, you may"
Thank you. / don't understand the
job, but / promise you not to increase
the confusion. If / do; if l rattle the
leaves too loudly, it will mean, Press
him further on this exact point but
I doubt if / rattle them, sir. No such
luck"
The last three words were uttered
soto voce, but the coroner heard him.
and followed his ungainly figure with
a glance of some curiosity, as he set
tied himself at the desk on the other
side of the room.
'Is the man" he began, but at this
moment the man entered. and DIR.
Heath forgot the young detective, in
his interest in the new arrival.
"Mr. Brotherson, believe" said he,
as he motioned his visitor to sit.
THAT is my name, sir"
Orlando Brotherson?"
'The same, sir"
I'm glad we have made no mis-
take" smiled the doctor. Mr.. Broth
erson, have sent for you under the
supposition that you were friend of
the unhappy lady lately dead at the
Hotel Clermont."
Miss Challoner?"
Certainly; Miss Challoner."
81 knew the lady. But" here the
speakers eye took on look as Ques-
tioning as that Of his interlocutor-
but in a way so devoid of all public
ity that l cannot but feel surprised
that the fact should be known"
At this, the listening Sweetwater
hoped that DIR. Heath would ignore
the suggestion thus conveyed and de-
cline the explanation it apparently de.
manded. But the impression made
by the gentleman's good looks had
been too strong for this coroner's
proverbial caution, and. handing over
the slip of a note which had been
found among Miss Challoner's effects
by her father, he quietly asked:
do you recognize the signature %

Bilson, who is a stout man, was rum

when his friend Jones called out, HAL

Keeping his breath for other pur-

determined to take terrible revenge
About one o'clock next morning he
called Jones up on the telephone
After a deal of ringing, a sleepy voice
at the other end of the wire told him
Jones was there.
"That you. Jones?" queried Bilson.

GIVES PALM TO SHORT MEN
That They Make Better Soldiers Than
Their Tall Brothers, Is Opinion
Of Authority.

Some western professor-the west
is bursting with professors-argueo
recently that inasmuch as tall men
were selected for war the race grew
shorter and therefore war should not
be encouraged. A professor and al
SO a stern logician. 1t is true that
a bellicose Frederick liked tall sol
diers. and that the Swiss guards OF
the pope are tall, whether they re-
volt or are content. The Empress
Catherine of Russia favored men OF
commanding stature. but is II not true
that soldiers of medium height, or
even the undersized. puny men, are
the more agile and enduring?
Mr.. J. NJ. Bullock, in his book about
the famous Gordon Highlanders,
states that the height Of the first OF
them. drawn from the healthiest peo-
ple of Scotland. was less than that OF
the average soldier today; for the av-
erage height of the Gordon recruits
was s feet 3 2-S inches, while In 1911
the eavrage height of the recruits In
the British army, excluding those m
der eighteen years of age, was feet
SO inches. Only five men in the
whole list of the original Gordon High
ianders exceeded 6 feet in height
