When you were small and dimes
and elephants were large did you ever
want to be in the circus parade? one
thing standing in the way, perhaps.
was the indecision as to whether
you'd be Ben Hur and ride in a
chariot or one of the veiled and be-
spangled ladies in the harem of the
sultan of Toolamboola.
Your first opportunity to realize
that childish ambition will come on
Tuesday morning, at which time
everybody in Tulsa interested in re-
lief work is invited to Join the circus
parade and to fall i'm behind the pa
triotic spectacle America" which
the Sells-Floto company are featuring
this year. Red crosses, flags and pa
triotic demonstrations will be the or
der of the day.
The Red Cross society the National
Service league and the local navy re-
cruting staff will have units in the
parade. There will be Red Cross
nurses in full uniform, girls in khaki
on horseback and many motor cars
decorated with the nations colors ard
the sign of the Red Cross.
Members of the Red Cross society
will meet with Mrs. f. S. Henry. 1880

well filled with college men, according
to officers of that organization, who

Nearly a dozen recruits were re-
ceived at the recruiting tent estab-
lished by Company A, engineers, O.

Of Main and Fourth. This unit is now
almost at war strength and but a few
more men are needed to bring it up
to this standard. These men, accord

quota of engineers is already re-
cruited.
Both the local navy and army re-

partment recruiting station at Oklaho-
ma City. The navy recruiting station,

Says Man Who Escaped
After Shooting Apr. 1S.
RETURNED FROM MEMPHIS
Brought to Tulsa by Wagner
Sheriff and Committed to
Jail Without Bond.

"I shot Walter Allison in self-de-
fense"
This was the statement made by
Jim Ermett yesterday after he ar
rived here in the custody of William
Ruble, sheriff of Wagner county. En-
NETT was captured Thursday in Mem

Following the shooting Ermet.
took Allison's car and started toward
Coweta Half way there the machine
broke down and Ermett walked to
Coweta, where he caught train to
Wagner. From there he went to
Memphis. where he formerly lived.
Asked why he went to Allison's
place at that time of night, Ermett
said that Allison owed him $l1 so, and
as he happened to be in that vicinity
he went to the store to collect
Questioned about the details of his
trouble with Allison, Ermett became
communicative.
Did Allison draw a gun on you|'
he was asked.
"All that will be brought out in the
trial" Ermett replied.
A woman who had been living with
Ermett told Allison's brother that she
saw Ermett kill his former employer.
BITTERNESS over his recent discharge
by Allison was given as the cause of
the act by the woman.
Ermett was arraigned before JUS

der. He pleaded not guilty and was
committed to the county Jail without

PROFESSIONALS HELD UP
STANSBERRY, FAMILY SAYS

Professional stick-up men, not
amateurs, held up Lon Stansbery and
family Friday night as they were
alighting from motor car at their
residence, Nineteenth and Madison,
the police believe.
Two detectives of the department
were at work on this case all of yes
terday. but no arrests were made up
to a late hour last night. Measure
ments of the footprints and other
marks left by the bandits were taken
by the officers, and they hope that
these will lead to arrests.
After stopping the car, one of the
men grabbed hold of Mrs. Stansberry's
wrist and attempted to pull her from
the car. She became so indignant
that she SLAPPED the bandit in the
face.

tear them from her fortunate rival
and cry out: They are mine Miner
But she drew out of the room quiet
ly, wondering if she could bear to see
him that night.
She decided that pride must come
to her aid, and she must not excite
comment by not appearing, so she
dressed her hair in the most becom-
ing way, and put on the only even
ing gown she possessed, a simple
white crepe. She was after all rather
pleased with the reflection in the
glass of a graceful little figure with
beautiful arms, shining dark hair,
soft eyes and a distinctly adorable
mouth.
She came down just in time to be
paired off with a crude young man
who could talk of nothing but base
ball and the horse show. At the ia
BILE she tried to entertain him, but it
seemed that whenever she glanced
down where Beecham sat next to
Margie he always seemed to- be look
ing at her, but she concluded it was
because she looked so much at him,
and after that kept her eyes in her
own neighborhoOd. MaTgie was
wearing one of his roses.
After dinner, when the dancing be-
gan, Beecham came to Ruth and
asked her to dance. She tried to re-
fuse, but the temptation was too
great. She would have that one
great joy if she never spoke to him
again.
After the dance he led her away to
a quiet corner.
Now" he said with a grim at
tempt at a smile, Pm going to in
fict myself on you for a few min
utes. I hope you'll bear it with Chris
tan fortitude. I'd like to know what
I've done to make you positively
loathe my presence.

not knowing what else to say.

want always to do beautiful

things" she said.
81 am building a beautiful house, ."
he added Nov if you could only
put your beautiful ideas into the in
terror decoration"
At that instant Margie entered and
Ruth caught an expression that
seemed to warn her to leave as soon
as possible. Clearly she was an in
terloper, pOaching on her Cousins
preserves and it must not happen
again. She excused herself on the
plea of study and left the room.
Ruth was not left long in doubt as
70 the state of affairs between young
Beecham and her cousin. Margie did
not conceal the fact that she cared
for him and the other girl began to
the slow torture Of seeing the love
which was more to her than life
withheld and given to another.
So it was that Ruth absented her
self from the room when Glenn
Beecher called, or once in a while.
when the temptation grew too strong
fingered a few minutes if only to see
his face or hear the sound of his
voice. i
After even these slight glimpses of
him she found it harder each time to
concentrate her mind on her work
and she prayed that she might be
able to put him out of her life.
There was to be little dinner
dance at the Vanes and flowers for
the. decorations were coming in.
Ruth saw the maid taking long,
white box to Nargie's room.
"They are from him, she thought.
81 wonder what they are"
She was not left long in doubt. for |
Margie called her in to see.
Look she cried. Aren't they |
beautiful"
Very" said Ruth family.
Her heart thumped so hard and |
then seemed to stand still. She was
finding it difficult not to reveal her
