BARTLESVILLE Is OUT
FOR new FRISCO ROAD

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. Bartles'
vile is out after 4 new railroad in ear
nest The chamber of commerce has
selected Frank Overstreet and j. G..
Leonard, city commissioner, TO go TO
St, Louis and talk the proposition over
with the officials of the st. Louis 6
San Francisco Railway company.
The sudden interest in the railroad
situation was occasioned by the an
nouncement in Tulsa last night that
the Frisco company was preparing TO
build a line OF 1913 niles in length
which will start over near Enid, run
through Blackwell, Blacklands Paw
huska, Barnsdall and east to Centrolia.
such d line would literally enCircle
Bartlesville as both Blacklands ana
Centralla are north of this city. 1t was
decided by the local business men that
II such line is contemplated, Bartles-
vile should have place on 1t. The
meeting OF the chamber of commerce
directors had originally been called for
the purpose of discussing railroad
propositions The Frisco announce
ment fell right in with the plans Of
the local boosters and it was decided
to get immediate action.

Bill Not for
Political Job

There is somjI misunderstanding
regarding the proposed constabulary
bill which intend to introduce at
the next session of the legislature,
and that is, many believe il one to
create special job for some par.
tcular person.
This is entirely foreign to facts,
the very fact that bill was intro
duced for such purpose would kin

CURED TO me In connection with
the proposed legislation.
The fact that certain men have
been mentioned in connection with
this new branch Of state govern.
ment does not follow that the bill
was created for their special benefit
and should ii become a law, il would
be UP TO the governo.' to appoint
whom he saw fit to FIJI this posi-
ton"
The above was spoken by Sena-
tor Carlock this morning when he
was charged by some Of intfoduc-
ing a bill and having it enacted
into law TO create special job
for some particular man and in
commenting further on the subject
the senator was very emphatic in
his statement that the bill, or any
other Dill proposed would never pass
the legislature were it introduced
solely to get some one job.

CHAPTER w.

r TER tweed collar turned up,
Fl Patricia Neale, golf club In
hand, stood in the small
room Mr.. Hea4corn had SO placed
as to deprive the dining.room Of
light and which he had in his life
time described as the Home OF
Barbarism. Disliking all games,
preterring the collection of china
and such, Mr.. Headcorn had real
lied that a man living near Basing-
alton would have to provide for the
violent sporting habits of the coun-
try. So the Home Of Barbarism
contained In rack few sporting
rifles; fishing rods were stacked
in a corner; disused leggings and
perforated snowboots were ulti-
mately hidden there. This room,
thought Mr.. Headcorn, helped to
isolate the evil.
So 1t was naturally in the isola-
ton ward reserved for sports that
on this wet morning Patricia Neale
should with fluffy ball be practis-
ing golf swings. She seemed very
preoccupied and tenacious. Her
little, pink lips were seriously COM
pressed as she slowly swung her
club up and down and fixed upon
the ball a gaze that was almost
malignant. She was doing rather
badly, generally topping the ball.
An angry attempt to remedy this
fault resulted in driving the fluffy
ball between the fishing rods,
where for some time Patricia, on
her knees, poked and grovelled
among the stumps at the ball that
seemed to tease her. When at last
she captured 1t she stood for a
moment looking about her. so that
she might not again lodge 1t so
uncomfortably.
She was very charming then in
her Harris tweed coat and skirt,
where predominated mustard and

lights in her curly, deep-brown
hair. She seemed very slight and
childish. Her head was almost
round, and the effect was accent
uated by the close lie OF those
curly locks. Under highly arched,
slightly surprised eyebrows shone
rather bright blue eyes that looked
at one so directly as to enhance
the effect produced by the arched
eyebrows.
Everything in Patricia contrib
