messed the signing Of Starmount's
will. She looked surprised, but said
nothing. After she and Mulcahy had
affixed their names she turned to
leave the room.
"How is your patient, nurseF'
Parker asked as he folded up the
paper.
"She is comfortable, Mr.. Parker.
Probably more comfortable than she
ever was before in her life, but that
is about all that can be hoped for. "
"Is Mary awake, nurseP Pat ask
ed suddenly.
81 do not know. I will see if you
want me to. :"
"If she is, will you ask her to
come out in the hall and talk to me
minute7"
"What are you going to do, Null
cahy7 If 1 were you l would let
that child rest"
"Shell rest much better, Mr.. STAR
mount, after | have talked with
her."
"But, Pat, you must not tell her
what l have just DONE"
"Of course not, but if I know
Mary Devlin at all, she is lying
there bothering her little head and
worrying for fear they will all be
taken back to the alley tomorrow.
l want her to know that she is go
ing to stay here q while, at least,
and that l am going to be here to
look after her. That will make her
sleep if anything will"
"All right, Pat but don't keep
her long,"
Malcolm, 1 am afraid that you
are letting yourself in for lot, !"
remarked Theodore Parker with
true lawyer caution when he and
Starmount were left alone.
"Wen, if you must know, Ted,
with all l am letting myself in for
consciously and with all the letting
IN that the future may bring, l feel
better and more decent tonight than
[ have for a long while.
"You know, Ted, what my father
was. You know how he treated my
mother. You know all the scandal
about my birth. Your father stood
by my mother when she had to
fight for her honor and my hgiti-
macy and, of course, you know how
triumphantly she came through it
all.
81 was only four years old then,
and you were only ten, Ted, but
we both were men when my father
died. He couldn't cut me out of the
major part of his millions because
they had been put in trust for me
by my gradfather.
"You would have thought, Ted,
that his foveless end would have
been lesson to me, his son, but
have gone on nay careless way ever
since my mother died. And here l
am, probably in for as big scam
dal as my father ever had and with
a criminal charge thrown in for
good measure"

Maybe Nadia Courteney will cool
off," remarked Parker graphically
''but / am afraid you don't know
her, Pat. 1 think she will hang to
Starmount if possible. He is too
good a thing to let slip throug her
fingers without trying to get good
and even with him for slipping.
''She will send him to prison, if
she can, or make him pay well for
the accidental death Of Dick Ten
nant. She Is always in need of
money and this will look like provi-
dence to her."
"Well, Ted, if that is your opin-
ion, | might as well prepare for a
prison sentence. l will never give
Nadia Courteney another dollar for
anything while / am alive and
will fix it so that she cannot get
her fingers on anything of mine aft
er l am dead. l want you to draw
up the papers right now, Ted. Make
it trust deed by which Mary Dew
lin is to be paid everything 1 have
when she is 25 years old. You are
to be her guardian and see to her
education and care until that time.
Ted, you will do this for me, won't
you"
"Of course, I will, but I think
you are crazy, NAL You don't know
anything about this girl. You only
met her this morning. You stand in
great danger of being put out of the
way before you get through with
this mess. Are you sure that this is
what you want to dof"
Sure. Fix up the papers while
I telephone"
Wait minute, Nal. We must
have another witness to the arrange

"Call in that nurse. She was to
sit up part of the night with Mrs.
Devlin."

Eyes, Pat. He means it. have

a boy. He is a creature of impulse
But he always stands by the conse-
quenees Of his impulses, good or
bad"
The lawyer walked into an ad-
joining room and sat down at a writ
ing desk and drew up a simple will,
in which Malcolm Starmount gave
his vast fortune to a little girl Of
whose very existence he had been
ignorant that morning.
"You win sign here, Pat" said
Parker, after you have seen Mr..
Starmount sign his name. Meantime
drop down the hall and ask the nurse
to come here"
As Mulcahy left the room Star
mount returned.

THE NoNPAurIsAN AMENDMENT

The world has previously stated why It be
ieyes the nonpartisan amend dment TO the char
ter should Dee carried. MANY additional reasons,
all OF them good, could be presented But there
Is a single undisputed reason that ought to be
sufficient 20 convince every voter who merely
seeks the best interests of tho city. This one
reason we propose TO consider briefly at this
time.
The ablest executive available ought TO bo
called to the chief magistracs OF the city during
the period when Tulsa is spending the trcmon-
dous sum voted 10 complete the spavinaw water
project. we do not think il sufficient that the

should not only be above peculation either for
himself or his friends al the expense 6f his fell
low citizens but he should he capable Of pro-

Of rcctifyng their aliRnments by electing n new

cording to tho plans and specifications Of GER
