1he curb rein, that last refuge of a
poor horseman, hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was dressed in
Well-worn whipcord breeches, short
coat soft hat and close-fitting boots
adorned with roWellesn epurs. For
his health Red Hill had done wonders.
his body was trim, supple and as vi
Orant as the young horse under it.
But Alan's thoughts were far from
saddles and saddle gear as he walked
the FESTIVE animal down the dipping
slope of Long lane and with his riding
crop steadily discouraged the early
morning flies, intent on settling down
TO the business of life on his mounts
arched neck and quivering quarters
lie was thinking of Glenn. Where could
he go to get away from Glen? Not
tomorrow, not sometime, but today.
Where could he go today? Once the
world had seemed to him a fenceless
pasture where it was good to wander
where every undiscovered glade prom
lSed fresh morsels to an unwearied
palate, but now in his mind the whole
world had shrunk to the proportions
of Red Hill. Where Glenn was. there
was the whole world. Already he felt
the yearning with which his heart
must henceforth turn to its sole desire.
He crossed the valley, and, as his
horse breasted the opposing hill, he
thought he heard an echoing hoofbeat
behind him. He turned and with one
hand resting on the horses quarter
gazed back through the gray light, but
Long lane was yelled from view by
overhanging trees. AS he lifted his
hand, its impress. clearly defined as
an image, caught his eye. How strange!
He had ridden thousand times and
he had never noted such a thing be-
fore. 1t was simple when reduced to
physical terms. The horse was warm
and moist, the hair cool and dry. His
hand pressed the hair down into the
moisture. But when he had reasoned
out the why and wherefore and tick
eted the phenomenon, the impress still
stared back at him. To his mood it
seemed an emblem Of isolation, a thing
cut off, discarded, useless. With a
smile of rebuke at his fancies he
touched the horse with his crop and
gave him his head. The horse sprang
forward, cleared the top of the hill.
and the rhythmic clatter of his hoofs
as he dashed along the pebble-strewn
road seemed to cleave the still morning
in two.

Healthy and Economical Food Should
Be Far More Widely Used Than II
is-Some Ways to
Employ II.

Honey is one of the healthiest and
! most economical foods, and it is not
only delicious, but has invaluable
medicinal qualities. 1t cannot of
course, take the place of sugar. as
sugar is more convenient, for one
thing, but IT is better adapted to GER
tain cooking than sugar and its flavor
is an aid in securing that variety
which all cooks are seeking.
For instance, cream cheese and
honey, either liquid or in the comb,
makes delicious and healthful combi.
nation.
Two ounces Of honey and six ounces
of Strawberries. with three ounces of
cottage cheese, two ounces OF bread
and two-thirds of an ounce of butter.
the latter either spread on the bread
or mixed with the cheese, makes a
very well-balanced meal.
AS a filling for sandwiches, honey
may be used with chopped nuts, or the
nuts may be added to cheese and
honey for the same purpose
Honey can be used instead of sirup
or jam with cereals and pancakes. and
If little hot water is added to it it
will be easier to pour 1t is more con
venient than sugar for sweetening
lemonade or other fruit drinks as it
does not have to be dissolved With
charged water it has less of ten
dency to eXpel the gas. Solid honey
makes a delicious filling for cake.
1t may be substituted for molasses
in all forms of bread and cake cook
cry, and gives more delicate flavor.
1t contains less acid than molasses.
and so requires less soda in recipes
which form when poured into cold
water Beat the white of the egg until
stiff. and when the strip has cooled
slightly pour over the egg, beating tho
mixture constantly until it will hold
its shape, This frosting is suitable
for use between layers of cakes. but
is rather too soft for the top
Cakes made with honey will keep
fresh much longer than when sugar
is used. Indeed, IL butter is omitted
they will keep for months, and even
improve in flavor.
Honey can be used in a variety OF
ways for preserving. A good Jelly may
BIO made by combining a cupful of
apple juice with a cupful of honey and
proceeding as in ordinary jelly max
ing. Other combinations of the sort
could probably be worked out.
Cranberries cooked in honey and
water are delicious. Take equal
weights of each of the ingredients,
and after pricking each berry several
times to prevent bursting and permit
the strip to penetrate to the interior,
cook them slowly until they are soft
and boil down the strip until it Just
covers them. Pour into glasses and
cover like jelly. good method is to
place all the ingredients in a double
boiler and heat them very slowly. If
this method is followed the boiling
down of the sirup IS even more neces-
sary than when the berries are cooked
more rapidly. Honey is good to use

tree-line of the valley below them
scurried across an ancient clearing
pushed through brush and branches
and burst out on to the long. bald back
of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hlldering powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Glenn suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her She stood with one
arm across the sadde-horn and waited
for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her His hands We're
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her, but he held them at his side.
What did you do it for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Glen looked him over coolIy. over
run after anyone before, Alan?"
'What?" suffered Alan. He felt
foundations slipping from under him.
Here was person who could look Ten
Percent Wayne at his best in the eye
and never turn mental hair.
How do you like it?" continued
Glen in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. "Ill tell you
what did it for. All my life I've been
running after you. Last night heard
you packing. l knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to 20
away Before you went I wanted you
TO run after me-just once. A sort
Of consolation prize to pride"
Alan's face hardened. stop, Glen.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself" He
looked at Glenn and the blood surged
into his neck and face At that mo-
ment Glen was beautiful to him be-
yond the widest dreams Of fair
women.
Her right arm was still hooked
over the double horn of her saddle
and her left hand holding slim rid
ing whip hung at her side. To the vel

of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in a double fold at the back
of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head Her head, Ike the
velvet lapels. was busted with little
silvery drops OF water and little drops
Of water perched on her long, upturned
lashes Her cheeks were flushed, her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous.
Only her eyes were steady.
Alan took off his coat and threw it
over a rock. "Will you please sit down?
l must talk to you"
Glen strobe to another rock and sat |

Is as wet as the stones. Put It on"
Alan hesitated. Put your coat on"
Alan obeyed; then he sat down be-

Feared Burial Alive,

To be buried alive was the greatest
fear OF a doctor who died recently at
Kidderminster, England. 1t was found
that he had instructed his trustees
that his remains should be cremated
five days after his death, but unless he
died of some disease which necessi-
tated it. his body should not be in
closed in a coffin during this period,
and if so. he desired the trustees to
personally ascertain that life was ex-
tinct my chief dread being lest by
accident | may be cremated or other
wise disposed of while l am still
alive" and he directed his trustees to
carry out his wishes concerning his
cremation and burial as contained in a
sealed letter given to them respec-
lively in his lifetime.

How to Ride.

In riding sit erect and don't slouch
along. Don't try to be a cowboy IL

pure cowpunchers and broncho bust
ers, also we have the tinhorn variety
of the same species. Steer clear of
the latter; also be careful not to get
into this category yourself Remem-
Der that horse is only flesh and
blood. He gets tired, hungry and
thirsty and for goodness sake treat
him accordingly. Because he is a
lively horse and you are paying his
hire, treat him white just the same.
Remember that someone else rode him
yesterday and another will probably
do so tomorrow. Give your horse the
same kind of deal you yourself would
demand if you were in its place; even
a bronc has feelings and will appre.
ciate your NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

MUNICIPAL GAS

Ardmore is talking a municipal gas
line and this sentiment is augment
ed by the absence of bountiful sup
ply of fuel on cold morning. Be
fore step is taken, the difference
in price between an emergency stove
and gas pipe line should be taken
into account. The history of munici-
pal plants is that they do not save
money. We have an instance with
us in the water plant. We pay for
water and we also pay interest on the
bonds The plant makes money, but
there is an urgent demand for the
money, and 1t is used.
The history of gas companies Is
that they build to field, the pressure
grows low and compressors are added,
then the supply becomes exhausted,
and an extension must be made. A
new bond issue is required for extern
sion work and there is no end to the
bond issues, which results in heavily
increased taxes.
From the best information obtain
able, the local gas company is fnan-
cially able to provide this city with
gas. It is probably doing as well or
better than the city could do if it
We're to 90 into the business.
Ardmore does not need gas line
TO make the city grow. We are grow
ing faster now than we are making
Improvements for those who enter
their gates.
Ardmore is not bidding Cor p mush-
room growth. We have no desire TO
see property values to 90 to that
height where they must suddenly fall
and in the fall ruin many people who
are here now and who come TO share
in our prosperity
Glass plants may he a means of
a temporary growth. but they ex-
haust the gas supply and leave a lot

of vacant buildings and move To some
other locality They do not bring
permanent prosperity. Muskogee vo-
ted municipal bonds for gas for the
purpose of trying to instil new life
into that city Ardmore is not re-
quired to resort to that emergency.
1t is an easy matter to complain
at public service corporation, but
it is quite different matter to put
up the money to operate a great plant
and to give the people a good ser
vice
We do not claim that our judgment
is infallible, we are with our city,
right or wrong, and we shall obey
the sovereign voice of the people
at a bond election for a gas main, but
we do not see the necessity at this
time Of placing a burden upon the
people in order to go into the gas
business. The company that is al
ready here is under the supervision
of the state corporation commission.
This company has undertaken to sup
ply this city with gas. and it can be
compelled 10 do so in case it shows
a disposition not to be progressive.
We are willing that our columns be
used by citizens for a public discus
sion Of the question that citizens
may form an intelligent and an un-
biased opinion before the question is
submitted.

Sight in Plants.

That plants actually may see does
not seem so impossible to those who
have watched grapevine reach
across a space Of several feet and
obtain support for its extending growth
by fastening it's tendrils to neighbor-
ing objects. The long tendrils sent
out by the grapevine sweep in long
courses through the air until they
touch some fixed object, such as
tree limb, post or a wire, around
which they quickly turn and bind them
selves tenaciously. The seeming ac-
curacy with which the tendrils reach
out for distant supports is almost
enough to convince one that the plants
see what they are reaching for. An
other example of the seemingly intel
ligent and accurately directed actions
of plants is furnished by the insecti'
vorous plants, such as the Venus Fly
Trap which instantly closes upon and
absorbs as food insects that alight
upon it.

Beauty In the Mexican's Voice.

Next to the love of dress | was most
struck with the fineness of the voice
and the beauty of intonations of both
sexes (of the Mexicans). 1t is pleas
ure simply to listen to the sound of
the language, before l could attach
any meaning to it. They have good
deal of the creole drawl, but it is va.
ried with an occasional extreme rapid
ity of utterance, in which they seem
to skip from consonant to consonant,
until, lighting upon a broad open
vowel, they rest upon that to restore
the balance of sound. A common bull
lock driver delivering message
seemed to speak like an ambassador
at an audience. In fact, they some
times appeared to me to be a people
on whom a curse had fallen and
stripped them of everything but their
pride, their manner and their voices
