into which all rivers run, but 1t is the
cistern that finally catches all the
rain that falls. not merely upon Its
own surface, but upon the surface OF
the land and upon the roofs of our
houses. 1t has been calculated that
each year a layer of the entire sea
fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds. This vapor is fresh. and.

Ncir was ghastly white.
Now. you." said Fran. her voice
vibrating as she faced the secretary.
"go to your typewriter!"
Grace did not move.
Fran's eyes resembled cold stones

pointed: 60! Stand where l tell
you to stand. oh, l have tanned lions

so-I'm not afraid of your teeth"
Grace's fear was not inspired by
dread of exposure. but by the realiza-
ton that she had done what she could
not have forgiven in another. But for
the supreme moment she might never
have realized the real nature of her
feeling for her employer. She stood
appalled, and Inundated. yet her spirit
rose in hot revolt because it was Fran
who had found her in Gregory's arms.
She glared at her defiantly.

according to present indications.
That Congressman Davenport has
not played fair in this matter is free
~ charged. When the move to change
the postoftice was first talked. local
citizens opposed It, feeling that If
temporary quarters were secured, II
would mean great delay in starting
the federal building, which is 80 badly
Congressman Davenport was ap-
pealed to and not longer than Christ

would be no removal Postofiice In
spector Stonerock stated that the
present quarters could be used until

ion, when democratic politicians got
after him.
The entire matter is very distaste-
full to Tulsans in general who oppos-
ed any removal Of the postofice and
for the further reason that 1t is be-
lieved that IT means years of delay in
getting work started on Tulsa's fed
