James cleland, in love with you.

the library that evening at Run
ner's Rest. The night was mild;
a mist bordered the rushing river
and stars glimmered high above II
Every great tree loomed huge
and dark and still, the Foliage
piled up fantastically against the
skyline. There was an odour OF
iris in the night; and silence, save
for the dull stamping of horses
in the stable.
Cleland, deep in an armchair
on the porch, became aware of
Grismer's tall shape materlalism
from the fog about him.
"It's a wonderful place, Cleland"
he said with a graceful, inclusive
gesture. "All this sweet, vague
mystery-this delicate grey dark
appeals to me-satisfies, rests me
.. AS though this We're the
abode Of tile Blessed Shades, and
I were of the. And the rest
were ended"
He seated himself near the
other and gazed toward the mist

ghostly melody.
"Charon waits at every LIVER,

a cigarette. 81 fancy he must en-

Grismer.

the Forest Runners could find
food and shelter here. The stone
forts defended it and it was never

"You inherited it?"
Eyes. 1t belonged to a Captain

There was a long silence. The
fresh odour of grey iris
became more apparent-a perfume
that, somehow, Cleland associated
with Stephanie.

MFR. Coyote Remembers

The next evening, just at dusk
Benny Badger left his den and set
forth on his usual nightly ramble'
BY way of exercise, and for the
sake of the fun it gave him, and
to improve his appetite, he dug a
few holes. And by the time 1t
was dark he was hungry as a bear
and ready to look once more for
fresh holes made by Ground
Squirrels.
He had decided not to wait for
Mr.. Coyote to join him, before
beginning his search. And he
even hoped that Mr., Coyote had
Forgotten all about his promise
to meet him and help him hunt.
But Benny Badger was to have
no such good fortune as that. 1t
was not long before he heard Mr..
Coyote calling to him. And though
he made no answer, thinking that
Mr. Coyote might not be able to
find him in a few minutes that
sharp-faCed gentleman came bound
ing up at top speed.

as he spied Benny Badger. Il see

"I was afraid you wouldn't"
Benny answered. remark that
Mr.. Coyote seemed not to UNDER
stand. For a moment or two he
looked somewhat puzzled. But
he decided, evidently, that Benny
meant to be pleasant, but didn't
know how to be.

while Benny Badger shuddered at
his harsh voice, "now then, where
do you think we'd better look for

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 81, 1921,
FIGHTING THE LOBBIES.

The Peoples Legislative Service is
the name given to the recently organiz-
ed movement for fighting the lobby
evil in Washington. Its purpose is to
restore to the American people their
lost control of their own government
Even persons who believe that the
peoples will is not wholly powerless
to influence government know how
powerful and dangerous the lobby in
terests have become. They recognize
also the opportunity for useful service
to the public which is found in the new
organizations program. 1t has three
divisions, each with special work to
perform.
First, there is the legislative division
which will analyze and keep watch over
all pending legislation so as to warn
those concerned of "jokers" and parlia-
mentary stratagems.
Second, there is a statistical division
which will compile information required
by congressman for handling such leg
islation strictly in the public interest.
Third, there is a publicity division
which will keep the people informed
regarding pending legislation.
The third division is the most inter
esting. If it can really keep the people
actively interested in pending legisla-
ton as well as intelligently informed
regarding it, the most severe blow pos
sible will automatically be dealt to lob
bying. Selfish private interests get
away with their lobbies only because
the public is uniformed or indifferent.
All the vast financial resources at the
disposal of the big lobbies would be Of
little avail against an alert and respon-
sible public. Such public would not
only keep track of legislation and leg
islators. but would exercise greater
sense and judgment in the first place
in the choice Of its representatives al
the capitol.

A BLIND MANS AIRPLANE.

One of the most interesting incidents
in aviation development is the inven-
ton by a blind man OF an aircraft
which he predicts VIII revoutionize

will rise almost perpendicular, land in
a spot little larger than its own base
and. what is perhaps most important,
hover in the air like an eagle. The
advantage OF this feature in bombing is
obvious,
An early model was tested out by an
army flyer during the war, and while
not wholly successful, it proved the
practicabillty OF the idea The inventor
is now busy with Improvements.
Inventors have been trying for years
to fashion a plane which shall do the
things claimed for this model. II u

failed il will be- both marvellous and

glory Of the accomplishment to a sight
less man, God finds his way Of giving
consolation to all the myriads of the
blind who may never know what Il is
to see men actually mounting up with
wings as eagles.
And what Of the fortunate mortals
who have unlimited use of sight and
hearing and other sense? How far

POOL HALLS WILL
BE CLOSED AT MID
NIGHT SATURDAY

Saturday at midnight the pool halls
of the city will close and remain closed
in the future
This agreement was reached some
time ago between the city officials ana
the owners who have been operating
for several months in opposition to a
city ordinance that says pool halls shall
not exist in Ardmore, but when the
cases were brought up in municipal
court and the usual fine assessed the
defendants would take an appeal to the
county court and proceed to operate as
usual. This was done so repeatedly
that the docket in the county court
looked like the ledger Of pool hall
visiting list, and finally after the mat
ter had been thoroughly discussed 1t
was agreed that there would be no fur
ther prosecutions if the pool hall own
ers would close up and remain closed
after the first of May. This was done
in order to permit them to dispose OF
surplus stocks Of cigars and tobaccos,
and Saturday at midnight the locks
will be turned and the cues racked Tor
the last time in Ardmore.
City officials are not opposed to pool
halls, rightly conducted, but they main
tain that some of them have been
operated in this city merely as blind
for boot Logging joint and crap EN-
porium, where a person could not only
shoot Kelly pool, and billiards, but
craps as well, and for any amount al
any time of the day or night, and for
that reason the ban is placed on all
of the halls in order TO get rid Of the
bad ones.
Whether pool halls will be allowed TO
operate under the managerial form oil
city government or not, is not known at
this time, but according TO the present
corps of city officials they will have
to be conducted rightly if they have
ANYTHING to do with the matter, but
they further aver that there is such
a sentiment against the pool hall in any
form that they express doubts OF its
ever again becoming a fixture in Ard
more.
The police department has complain
ed for a number of years that more
trouble was caused them by pool han
habitues than any other class Of law
violaters. and the various chiefs oi
police from time to time have asked
that the halls be closed.
