fact that Mr.. Denelworth's idea of
Oklahoma is that it is populated only
with Indians that would make the

Anyhow. he drifted into the city last
night on the Rock Island and was de.
posted by the bus at the Midway.
Nothing about his appearance would
indicate that he was leading glgan-
tic fear that bordered on panic
around with him. He was conyen-
tionally dressed and did not attract
the night clerks attention until, after
he had registered. Not even when he
asked if the hotel was equipped with
a fire escape did Mr., Marker pay any
particular attention to him. Ii was
his next remark that lead on TO the

story.
I'm take a receipt for that fifty

looked at him in blank amazement
and, thinking that he had not heard
Alright, asked that the remark be re-
peated. Just give me a receipt for
