medal and an honorary membership
for an essay read before that state
body. she admits that she does not
know it all
The admission came iii a recent
high school examination at the bic
meet at Edmond The chickasha girl
was member Of the class which was
asked to give a recitation in which
the word spur was used both as a
noun and as a verb. The young aspi-
rants had evidently never visited the
far west where that implement is one
Of the principal tools Of the cowboys
trade. They all used the more chiv-
alric use Of the verb, 'spurring on to
victory etc. but none Of them could
employ it as noun until it came Miss
shuster's turn. She used the word
beautifully as verb.
Now Miss shuster," pursued the
quizzmaster how is the word spur
used as a noun.

The first thing it is going to do is to
effect the most efficient organization
possible. The president has appointed
a War Council, which council has as
sumed the responsibility Of effecting
this organization. It is developing
plans which involve the selection OF the
best talent in the United States in
medicine, in sanitation, in transpoita-
tion, in construction, in welfare work,
in purchasing. in commercial business,
i'm accounting and in such other lines
as may be required in an undertaking
OF this magnitude. Ordinarily it would
be difficult to employ trained talent Of
the character required. Men would not
be available, but it has already been
demonstrated beyond any concern on
the part Of the council that the best
talent is available and most Of it is vol |

of the War Council is for immediate ac-

walked boldly after her and finding
the door open, ventured into the hall,
but not before the girl had disappeared
up the stairs. Peter then looked around
and seeing door tried to open it it
was locked. He knocked; no answer.
Then he put his shoulder against it,
and it yielded. He found himself sud-
denly precipitated into the presence Of
the Masked Stranger, who stood smil-
ing by desk.

manded the furious Peter. "Where is
Philippa Brewster? l demand to

quietly, "Philippa Brewster is not in
this house, and has not been in this
house."
"Tll give you till count ten to pro-
duce herr cried the Infatuated Peter,
Selling a stillettO that lay at his hand.
And he began to count, while the
Masked Stranger faced him with an
imperturbable smile. When Peter
reached mine" he felt the floor give
way under him, and before he knew it
he was standing in the basement.
The owner of the house had pressed
button, and Peter had vanished.
Peter brushed himself off and went
on his way, feeling little ridiculous
and more puzzled than ever. This was
| the third or fourth time that the
| Masked Stranger had suddenly crossed

But now Peter was ObSeSsed with the
idea that the strangers interest in

surely not a creditable thought, and
one he later dismissed as unworthy OF
the girl and of himself.
Having reached this conclusion, he
looked across the street and was as
tonished to see Philippa walking calm
ly along. He rushed over, took of
his hat and asked how she happened
to be there.
She eyed him cOldly and said: 'Tt

SYNOPSIS.

Peter Hale meets and falls in love with
Philippa Brewster, the supposed girl of the
Double Cross, whom he believes he is to
marry. Bentley, his rival seeks by every
means to put Hale out of the way and to
prove whether Philippa is the girl of the
newspaper man. Together they foil Bent
ley's plots and plans. Philippe puzzles
all by her failure to remember the situa-
tons which she evidently passes through.
Bentley surprised in the act of robbery
shifts the accusation to Hale and Anness-
ley, who are arrested but escape nightly
and worry Bentley. They force him to
confess and he is placed in their cell while
they are released.
