loaded thundercloud.
When she and Daphne had, taken
their departure, Leila still dared not
speak to Daphne on the way home.
She dared not speak to her at all.
Leila brought triumph to Bayard. She
told him what Dutilh had told her Of
his willingness to wait for his money.
Bayard embraced Leila and hailed
her as an angel. When she had taken
full toll Of her success, she told Bay
ard what Daphne had done. She told
it simply, without emphasis, knowing
it's effect.

Dutilh for a position among his
models? Great Lord of heaven, I'll tele-

His protests against Daphne's project
were louder than Bayard's, with the
added rancor of jealousy. But he had

mire. He went away a little later and
h returned to her cubbyhole with
the Chivvises.
Those were black days for all Amer
lea, suffering under the backfre from
the sudden war and from the long IA
tigue Of hard times. There were weeks
Of dread lest the United States be
sucked into the maelstrom at a time
when it was least prepared in money,
arms, or spirit. Never, perhaps, in hui
man chronicle had SO many people
looked with such bewildered misery
on so many people locked in such
multifarious carnage.
At such q. time, as in an epoch Of
plague, there came, a desperate need
of a respite from woe; soldiers sky
larked in trenches; war widows
danced in gay colors; festivals were
held in the name Of charity; frivoli-
ties and vices were resorted to that
good souls might renew themselves
for the awful work before them.
It was in such a mood Of imperative
demand for cheer Of some sort that

Daphne had come home after q
morning Of rebuffs. She was heart
sore and footsore, in shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was
called to the telephone, and Duane's
voice chanted in her ear with a tone
Of peculiarly comforting melancholy.

dropped the inkwell and fed to the
locker-room, while he stamped about,
bowling like the blinded Cyclops.
Daphne did not stay to taunt him nor
to demand her wages. She caught a
glimpse Of faces at the fre-escape
windows, but, hugging her hat and
coat, she made good her escape.
She knew what she was escaping
from, but not what to.

About one-sixth as many wells a!

plugged during 1918. Most of these
were dry holes drilled during the
year. Many Of them were once pro

Four hundred wells in the Okmulgee

327 in the Bartlesyille district, 29O in

There is a vast, difference in pro-

the state and their average total
production. In the Decentralization
field, 1,O4G wells average a total Of
24,293 barrels of oil per day. In the
Tulsa district, $40 wells produced
only G6000 barrels daily. An aver
