GOOD BY COMPARISON

Travelling men from other parts of
this nation, report that evidences Of a
sound economic condition are more
ample in southeastern Oklahoma than
in almost any other part of the coun-
try they visit, and that in comparison
with conditions in the great industrial
centers, southeastern Oklahoma is at
present lying on a bed of roses, so to
speak, and several of Durant's folks
who go about bit, bear this out. As
copmarcd with 1919 and the first part
of last year, we are no doubt bit
hard up. but we can get a lot of solace
by looking at the sections that are
in infinitely harder shape than we are.

lcHAPrER vl-continued.)

With the midday reunion my hour
of distinction arrived. The tale of
the ghost-pig was told, from the be-
ginning by Cookie, with high tributes
to my courage in sGllying forth in pur-
suit OF the phantom. Even those hold
ing other views of the genesis of the
white dog were amazed at his presence
on the island. In spite of Cookies as
pensions, the creature was no mongrel,
but thoroughbred Of points. Not
by any means dog which some little
South American coaster might have
abandoned here when it put in for
water. The most reasonable hypoth-
esis seemed to be that he had be-
1onged to the copra gatherer, and was
for some reason left behind on his
masters departure. But who that had
loved a dog enough TO make it the
companion Of his solitude would 70
away and leave It? The thing seemed
to me incredible. Yet here, otherwise
Nnaccounted for, was the corporal
presence of the dog
! had named the terrier in the first
ten minutes of our acquaintance. CRU
soc was the designation by which he
was presented to his new associates,
Violet tolerated him, Aunt Jane called
him a dear weenty pettums love, Cap
tain Magnus kicked him when he
thought I was not looking, Cuthbert
Vane chummed with him in frankest
comradship, and Mr.. Shaw softened
toward him to an extent which made
me inly, murmur, "Love me, lore my
do" only reversed. Not that in the
least wanted to be loved, only you feel
1t an impertinence in a person who so
palpably does. not love you to en-
deavor to engage the affections of your
bull-terrier.
AS to Cookie, he magnanimously
consented to overlook Crusoe's dubi-
GUS past as ghost-pig, and fed him
so literally that. the terriers lean and
graceful form threatened to assume
the contours Of a beer-keg.
