stinctively for the library.
Laughingly Gail finished her third
dance down. She had enjoyed several
sparkling encounters in passing with
Dick Rodley, and she was buoyantly
exhilarated as she started to stroll
from the floor with her partner. She
had wanted to find cherub-cheeked
Marion Kenneth, and together they
walked through the conservatory, and
the dining room, and the deserted bill
lizard room, with its bright light on the
green cloth and all the rest of the
rooms in dimness. There was a mar,
row space at one point between the
chairs and the table, and it unexpect-
edly wedged them into close contact.

You are blaming the church with a
fault which lies in the people" pro-
tested tho rector, shocked and dis
urbed, and yet feeling it his duty to

Gus than he had thought, and what she
needed was spiritual instruction. The

Daddy Manning laughed as he de-
tected that bit OF sarcasm.
According to that we are wasting

Absolutely" and it struck the rec
tor with pain that Gail had never
looked more beautiful than now, with
hsr cheeks flushed and her brown
eyes swapping with Indignation. Your

1t is perhaps just as we'll that you
are no. the dictator Of the city" The
young Rev. Smith Boyd gazed down at
her from his six feet of serious pur-
pose, with all his previous disappro-
val intensified. The history Of Mar
kct Square church is rich with in
stances Of It's usefulness in both the
spiritual and the material world, with
evidence of its power for good, with
Justification for its existence, with rea-
son for its acts. You make the com
mon mistake of judging an entire body
from one surface indication. Do you
suppose there is no sincerity, no con-
science, no conservation in Market
Square church?" His deep, mellow
baritone vibrated with the defense of
his purpose and that of the institution
which he represented why do you
suppose our vestrymen, whose time is
OF enormous value, find a space amid
their busy working hours for the af-
fairs Of Market Square church? Why
90 YOU suppose the ladies OF our guild,

paused for hesitant moment why

building, on American soil of the most
magnificent house of worship in the

which struck his face to stone, she
heeled her way out through the mud

REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch.

A horse that has the habit OF paw
ing, especially at night, is most al
noying. It is also bad for the horses
feet if he is paving all the time. To
stop this, take strong strap with
buckle or it, also or 10 inches OF
heavy chain. Put the strap around
the horses leg above the knee so
the chain will hang down in front OF
the knee.
This device acts as a chain switch
and will cure the horse OF the paving
habit. 1t also keeps horse from
running in rough pastures.-Farn and
F'ireside.

from the fFnlfl OF Anger.
With a sharp intake Of his breath, the
fellow, a ruddy-faced, thick-necked,
fullIipped young man who had fol-
lowed her with his eyes all evening,
suddenly turned, and caught her in his
embrace.
Gail, turning. hurried out Of the side
door to the veranda. Her knees were
trembling, but the fresh, cold air
steadied her, and she walked the full
length of the wide porch, trying in
stinctively to forget the sickening hui
initiation. She was near q window,
and, advancing a step, she looked in.
1t was the library, and Allison sat
there, so clean and wholesome look
ing. with his pink shaven face and his
white evening waistcOat, and his dark
hair beginning to sprinkle with gray
at the temples. He was SO sturdy and
so strong and SO dependable looking,
as he sat earnestly talking with Bah
bitt. Gail hurried to the front door
and rang the bell.
Hello, GAIL" greeted the CHEEKY
voice of Allison, as she came in. My

His voice was 50 good, so comfort

got to tell you, Rabbit, and it's rather

toward the door. You'll excuse me
just half a minute, won't you, Gail?
She had noticed that assumption OF
intimate understanding in him before,
and she had secretly admired it. Now
it was comfort and a JOY.
Surely" she granted, and passed
on in to the library alcove, a sheltered
nook where she was glad to be alone,
to rescue herself from the whirl of
anger, and indignation, and humilia-
tiOn-above all, humiliation--which
had swept around her. Her face was
hot and cold by turns, and she was al
most on the point Of crying, in spite
Of her constantly reiterated self-ad'
monishment that she must control her
self here, when Allison came to the
door of the alcove
"All right, Gail" he said laconically
She felt suddenly weary, but she
rose and joined him. When she
slipped her hand in his arm, strong,
and warm, and pulsing, she was aware
of thrill from it, but the thrill was
just restfulness.
'You look little tired" judged the
practical Allison, as they strolled, side
by side, into the hall, and he patted
the slender hand which lay on his
arm.
Not very" she lightly replied, and
unconsciously she Struggled her hand
more comfortably into it's resting
place A little sigh escaped her lips,
deep-drawn and fiuttering. 1t was
sigh of content.

ANOTHER SEASON
FOR CITY LEAGUE?
Probably Will Start Next
Week; Present Expense
Is Heavy.

When the Texas team defeated the
Gulf Pipeline team Tuesday after
noon, the City league died. This fact
was not announced until yesterday,
but 1t is true.
Many fans shovel their lisap-
pointment when this was announced
and most Of the players wanted to
play another season. 1t is highly
probable that the next season will
start next week, If at all. The great
trouble at present is expense. Pres-
dent Purpus Of the Tulsa team,
charges the teams So a game for the
use of the grounds. If he will cut tho
price half in two, the league probably
will continue, but If he does not come
across there may be no second season.
say league officers.
The City league should cut the
unmber CT teams to four, and by that
method 1t will stand a good chance
for existence. The players would get
to play more often and In that way
keep in better condition. The teams
would be stronger than ever before.
and better games are sure to he the
result The games must he beteer ad-
vertised In the future so the fans will
know when and who plays Fans
would like to see the City league pull
through. 1t is boost for the city.

After several futile attempts to
cvade the issue, the Rotary club Of
Tulsa yesterday accepted the chal-

baseball game, to be played at Asso-

that a number of the ablest mining
