Yet Lucy knew that he secretly de-
voured the newspapers. searching for
his sons name. He was secretly proud
of him. Lucy had an idea.

called him that nowadays-"he is to
conduct at q performance in Boston

been promising to take me into Bos.

growled the farmer. "Hain't I heard
him times and again stunning on
that old piano? I've had enough Of
hearing him, my lass"
However. by dint of coaxing. Lucy
invaigled him to Boston. and thence to
the opera house, where, upon dozen
billboards, as large as life. were the
words Henry Milton, beneath flesh
and blood reproduction of the young
man.
Lucy felt herself trembling. She
knew that he had long ago forgotten
her; she had nerved herself to accom-.
pany the old man only out of q sense
of duty, in the hope of effecting q
reconciliation; if she saw Henry she
meant to show him her indifference.
But when the farmer saw his son
conducting in the orchestra, a strange
look came over his face. And Lucy,
watching him, knew that the past was
forgotten in the Joy at finding his boy.
The old mans stupefaction increased
as, seated all through the bewildering
medley Of sounds, he saw Henry wav.

in alienation and sometimes together.

He turned to his neighbor.
"How much do you reckon that there
young fellow Milton makes a night out
Of this?"
20, perhaps three hundred dollars"
answered the other.
The farmer gaped at him and sub.
sided into his seat.
They were at Henry's side almost
before the piece was ended. And
Henry. looking up, suddenly perceived
his father and Lucy. His face grew
pale.
Hen! Hem" faltered the old man.
and suddenly he grabbed Henry to
his heart and muttered something
about forgiveness and coming home.

CHARMS OF MUSIC
BY PHILIP HARRISON.

downright, 1914, by w. G. Chapman)
Sometimes a poet is born (they are
not made) in an unpromising place.
But then, everybody knows that. There
is hardly father but has looked upon
the cherubic countenance of his heir
and hoped devoutly that the deadly.
impractical gift of the muse has not
been visited upon him.
At least, hardly a farmer father In
Middleboro. 1t is essentially a farm.
ing community. The banker and the
parson. the storekeeper and the livery
man have their proper recognition, OF
course; but Middleboro has no use for
poetry.
However, Henry Milton was not q
poet; he was born q musician. And
that was worse. For poetry, unhal-
lowed as it is, was known by reputa-
ton to Middleboro, and a young fellow
with such an unfortunate name as MIL
ton might have been expected to sue
cumb. but music

It was the scandal of the town; a
hulking lad of twenty, home long ago

days at the piano composing airs.

Bankers, Headquarters At Okla. city

Bankers Headquarters At Okla. City.
Oklahoma City will hereafter be the
headquarters of the Oklahoma Bank
ers' Association and the office of the
secretary will be removed from Enid
to this city. This change was decided
upon at the meeting of the executive
committee of the state association in
this city last week.
This change has been under con-
temptation for some time on account
of Oklahoma City being more CEN
trally located and because Of its being
in reality the center Of banking BUSH
ness Of the state. 1t has been pointed
out that every banker in the state has
business in this city at frequent in
tervals and that 1t will be of consider
able advantage to them to have the
headquarters of the association To-
Gated in the capital city. Secretary
w. B. Harrison will remain as secre-
tary of the association, but the date Of
removal was not definitely fixed.
The next state convention of the
Oklahoma Bankers Association will
be held in Oklahoma City. for the
same reason.
