fWae feeding famished outeast Jason lbeamed upon them in sheer enjoyment when he brought in full dishes and |carried away empty ones. Dorcas was Ilight-hearted and gay. as happy as they had been during their first ac. lQuaintance at the shore. For a mo- ment. while Merry drank his coffee. the memory of few horrible weeks kntruded on the present.
 Miss Dorcas," he began abruptly. PsWhy did you"
 She stretched out her hand appeal hngly.
 Don't bring in whys-now. We are Ieo comfortable. I don't ask for an ex- lplanation--I don't want to give any. Cant you see I'm in Happy Valley for . little while? l am so glad to have you here again." N Merry smiled into her eyes. "1ll obey you, bless your gentle heart!" ' The girl rose and reached to shelf behind her for box of cigars. Merry lit one. lounged back in a cushioned chair, and puffed rings of smoke towards the red Are. They sat in hilence after Jason had carried away the dishes. Their quiet was broken when the clock struck one. The man started.

 "They were not searching for you"
 "You were?"
 Dorcas nodded.

Oswald our cab stepped in a block, and it was opposite iwhere-that line of men stood. was Hooking at them when saw you pull down your hat When Mr. Oswald left me here drove back to Tenth street. but the line had dispersed. I went again tonight-juet hoping" { Who is MT. Oswald?" asked Merry abruptly.
 | Don't you know? Haven't you been reading the papers? MT. Oswald is the man who is putting on your play"
 My play?" Andrew dropped his halfsmoked cigar on the table.
 "Your play" repeated Dorcas in a quiet tone. They have been search ling everywhere for you to play John Esterbrook.' Enoch is in Montreal Inow, looking for you"
 Merry laughed harshly .
 The girl clasped her hands together I"Mr. Merry. tell me, are you and |Enoch no longer friends?" I Andrew picked up his cigar and |puffed 1t until the red spark revived. Then he laughed again We are not exactly friends. Has he told you any thing!"
 ,"Yes, he told me-only 1t seemed lso strange, so hard to believe after our talk that day at the point, that isomehow I cannot understand it.'
 Merry watched her ,keenly He was ithrottling temptation to tell every. thing that had come between him and lthe sunshine of existence. He felt sure of the girls sympathy; he knew

~ in from that number to eXtin-
blaze that threatened to
de small barn situated on
the / Il the lot The place was
occupied ~ A. F. Jones and small

of the blaze. No material damage
resulted. This morning about 2
o'clock the department was called
to South Washington street TO ex-
tinguish a blaze in vacant dwell

headway before the alarm was turn

Murphy Well Known,

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. William
Murphy, who attempted to commit
suicide by cutting his throat at a
station in McAlester Tuesday night
is well known in this city. Through
his real estate transactions he was
cnce a commanding figure in this
business here
Murphy plated and sold the Muir
ply addition to Muskogee, and was
reputed to have made over 5000, -
900 from this and similar transac-
tions. Friends here believe he may
have lost some of this money and
that despondency over the fact,
coupled with late heavy drinking,
was responsible for his attempt at
self destruction.
A brother, Perry Murphy, commit
ted suicide about five years ago.
