THE STORY

Yancey Cravat. Just returned
from the newly opened Indian
territory, relates his experiences
to q large gathering of the Ven.
able family. Yancey is married
to Sabra Venable; is criminal
lawyer and editor of the Wichita
Wigwam. When the Run started,
Yancey had raced his pony
against the thoroughbred mount
of a girl The girls horse was
injured and when Yancey stopped
to shoot it she grabbed his pony
and got the land Yancey wanted.
Yancey announces he is going
back to the Oklahoma country
with Sabra and their four-year-
old son, Cimarron. They make
the journey in two covered
wagons. They arrive at Usage,
where Yancey intends to start a
newspaper. Yancey Is determined
to find out who killed Editor Peg
Ter of the New Day. Preparations
for the publication of the Okla
homa Wigwam are completed.
Yancey consents to conduct d.
vine worship on Sunday. During
the SERVICES dHCSy dHho uhSco
he has learned who killed Peg
Ter. He stoops in time to escape
a bullet fired by Yountis. Still
STOPPING, Yancey shoots and kills
Yountis. Then he announces that
Yountts killed Pegler. Sabra's
second child, Donna, Is about
three years old when she returns
to Wichita for her first visit.
Yancey illustrates bank rob-
berry and kills two desperadoes.
Yancey urges Sabra to join him
in the Run at the opening of
the Cherokee strip. She refuses.

CHAPTER vII-Continued

Sabra's farewell was intended to be
cold. Her heart, she told herself, was
breaking. The change that these last
four years had made in her never was
more apparent than now.
"You felt the same way when went
off to the first Rum" Yancey reminded
her. Remember? You carried on
just one degree less than your mother.
And If I hadn't gone you'd still be
living in the house in Wichita, with
your family smothering you in South
ern fried chicken and advice" There
was much truth in this, she had to ad-
NIT. She melted; chung to him.
"Yancey! Yancey"
"Smile, sugar. Wait till you see
Gin and Donna, five years from now,
riding the Cravat acres"
After all, hundred other men In

territory-had talked Of nothing else

aged watery smile. He was making
the Run on a brilliant, wild-eyed mare
named Cimarron, with strain Of
Spanish in her for speed and grace,
and strain of American mustang for
endurance. The start was made short
ly after sunrise so as to make progress
before the heat of the day. But
cavalcade awoke them before dawn
with a rat-a-tat-tat Of six-shooters and
a blood-curdling series of cowboy yips
The escort rode with Yancey and the
others for distance out on the plains.
Sabra, at the last minute. had the
family horse hitched to the buggy,
bundled Gin and Donna In with her,
and Isaiah hanging on behind, some
how-the prim little vehicle bumped
and reeled its way over the prairie
road in the wake of the departing ad-
venturers.
At the last Sabra threw the reins
to Isaiah, sprang from the buggy, ran
to Yancey as he pulled up his horse.
He bent far over in his saddle picked
her up in one great arm, held her

"Sabra, come with me. Let's get
clear away from this"
you've gone crazy! The children !"
'oThe children, too. All Of us. Come
on. Now" His eyes were blazing.
She saw that he actually meant it. A
sudden premonition shook her
"Where are you going? Where are
you going"
He set her down gently and was
off, turned halfway in his saddle to
face her, his white sombrero held
aloft in his hand, his curling black
locks tossing in the Oklahoma breeze.
Five years passed before she saw
him again.

CHAPTER VIII

Dixie Lees girls were riding by on
their daily afternoon parade. Sabra
glanced up as they drove by. She was
seated at her desk by the window in
the front office of the Oklahoma Wig
wan.
Her face darkened now as she saw
them driving slowly by. Dixie Lee
never drove with them. Sabra knew
where she was this afternoon. She
was down in the back room of the
Usage First National bank talking
business to the president, Murch Ran
kin. The business men of the town
were negotiating for the bringing of
the packing house and a pillow works
and watch factory to Usage. Any
one of these industries required sub
stantial bonus. The spirit Of the day
was the boom spirit. Boom the town
of Usage Dixie Lee was essentially
a commercial wOman-shrewd, clear
headed. She had made great sue
cess Of her business. She was a per-
sonage in the town. Visitors came to
her house now from the cities and
counties round about. She had built
for herself and her thriving business
the first brick structure in the wooden
town; a square, solid, and imposing
two-story house, it's bricks formed
from the native Oklahoma red clay
The house had been opened with a
celebration the like Of which had

English Like Pantomimes

to pantomime as tenaciously as to
plum pudding, writes columnist in

celebrated by the production of pan

part, with the commander, Sir George
Mares, starring as Columbine.
In 1875, when on another polar ex-
petition in the Alert, Mares "reopened
the Royal Arctic theater' after it had
been closed for 25 years, and panto-
mime was again the favorite pastime
Of all concerned.

cordial as her rejection Of their plans
for her future was firm.
II intend to stay right here in
Osage," she announced, quietly, but in
tone that even Felice Venable rec
ognized as inflexible, "and run the
paper, and bring up my children as
their father would have expected them
to be brought up. mean to stay here
in Usage until Yancey-until-" She
never finished that sentence.
The Usage society notes became less
simple. From bare accounts of quilt
ings, sewing bees. and church So
cables they blossomed into fowery
limitations of the metropolitan dailies'
descriptions Of social events.
Sabra was, without being fully
aware of it, a power that shaped the
social aspect of this crude southwest
ern town. The ladies of the new
Happy Hour club, on her declining to
become a member, pleading lack Of
time and press of work Gas well she
mighty made her an honorary men,

name on their club roster, somehow.

They were paying unconscious tribute
to Oklahoma's first feminist. She still
ran the paper single handed, with the
aid of Jesse Hickey, the most expert
printer in the Southwest (when sober),
and as good as the average when
drunk.
There still was very little actual
money in the territory. People
traded this for that. Sabra often
translated subscriptions to the Okla
homa Wigwam-and even advertising
space-into terms Of fresh vegetables,
berries, wild turkeys, quail, prairie
chickens, dress lengths and shoes and
stockings for the children.
Sol Levy's store, grown to respect
able proportions now, provided Sabra
with countless necessities in return for
the advertisements which were sent
through the country via the Oklahoma
Wigwam. In quiet, dreamy way Sol
Levy had managed to buy a surpris-
ing amount of Usage real estate by
now. He owned the lot on which his
store stood, the one just south of it,
and, among other pieces, the building
and lot which comprised the site of the
Wigwam and the Cravats' house. In
the year following Yancey's departure
Sabra's economic survival was made
possible only through the almost
shamefaced generosity Of this quiet,
sad-eyed man.
eve got it all down in my books"
Sabra would say, proudly. ''You know
that it will all be paid back some day."
He began in the Oklahoma Wigwam
campaign Of advertising out of all
proportions to his needs, and Sabra's
debt to him began to shrink to the

Trinidad Land of Birds

The island of Trinidad is aptly
called the "Land Of Humming Birds"
The tiny iridescent creatures swarm
about the roses hibiscus, poinsettia,
crotons, bougainvilleas, jasmine and
other flowers that grow on the island.
One of the most prosperous of the
West Indies, Trinidad has strangely
mixed population. Here one sees Hin
dus, remnants Of the East Indian
slaves introduced into the island in
1889, the men in elaborate turbans,
silk blouses and flowing robes, the
women "beautified" with gold rings,
anklets, heavy earrings and silver
bracelets, which cover their arms from
wrist to elbow.

as Arita can be moved he must take
her home. AS for Isaiah, I've notion
to send him back to Kansas, as
wanted to do years ago, only he
begged so to stay, and Yancey let him.
And now this"
Doctor Valiant had swallowed the
whisky at gulp-had thrown it down
his throat as one takes medicine to
relieve pain. He poured another glass.
His face was tired and drawn. 1t was
late. His nerves were not what they
had been, what with drink, overwork,
and countless nights without sleep as
he rode the country on his black horse
He swallowed his second drink. His
face seemed less drawn, his hand
steadier, his whole bearing more alert.
..Now listen, Sabra. You don't under
stand. You don't understand the
Osages This is serious. The Osages
have kept the tribe absolutely free Of

pose" she added suddenly, that
you'd accuse your darling daughter
Of meaning to turn my boss against
me-"
Mrs. Everett answered uneasily:
How can you say such unreason-
able things?" However, her eyes
avoided Beryl's.
She was thinking Of something
that Irene had said when she found
Beryl gone that afternoon and a
large part of her triumph spoiled.
I'll show herl" Irene had de-
clsred. "I'll see that she never gets
another contract with the Gaylord
Soap Company. And it won't do
her bit Of good to be turned
down. Other people won't be SO
keen about her then"
Mrs. Everett sighed, wishing Berry,
were as reasonable as Irene.
Honey, you mustn't do that" she
had said to Irene. your father
and I need Beryl's help"
Irene had seen it at once and ad-
mitted she was wrong. 1t was a
comfort to have a daughter like
Irene-one who could be obliging.
1t would be a little thing for Beryl
to acknowledge her fault as readily
as Irene had done and write to her
sister.
AS usual, her argument with her
mother was Of short duration. Mrs.
Everett. thinking it over, felt that
she had not made the situation any
better for Irene. She came in softly
the last thing before she went to
bed and brought. tray Of light re-
freshments for Beryl.
"Are you sure you're WELL" she
asked.
Beryl nodded
II wish you wouldn't quarrel with
me-" her mother said forlornly. "It's
hard to have a child get married
and go away. Irene didn't mean
the cross words she said. 1t was just
temper and she was sorry right
away"
Poor little Irene. !" But Berry,
hadn't been thinking of her sister
she was thinking of something
that frightened her.
