At n first night performance in New * York, a beautiful young woman attracts attention by rising and leisurely surveying the audi ence through her glasses. Ciaver ing f a newspaper columnist, and hie'etrusin, Dinwiddle, are particu larly interested, Dinwiddie declar ing that she is the image of Mary Ogden, a belle of thirty year: ago, who had married a Count Zattiany and lived abroad. He is convinced that this is Mary’s daughter; but all efforts to establish her identity prove futile. Clavering, determined to find out who she is, follows her home from the theatre one night. Luck is with him, for she hds forgotten her keys and he helps her get into the house. She as s him in and finally telle him she, is the Countess Josef Zattiany, a- cousin of Mary Og den’s; that she had married a rela tive of Mary’s husband; and that Mary is ill in a sanitarium in Vi enna. He meets her at the theatre a few nights later, goes home with her afterward and tells her frank ly he does not believe her story. He is keenly aware of her fascina tion for him, and Madame Zat tiany, on her part, though long since free of illusions in regard to men, admits to hereelf that this particular young man has aroused her interest. XII (continued) There was no snobbery in her attitude. She had always been too secure in her own exalted state tor snobbery, too protected from climbers to conceive the "I will maintain" impulse, and she had escaped at birth that over powering sense of superiority that earks the souls of high and low alike. But it was the first time she had ersr bad the opportunity to judge by any standards but those in which she had been born and passed her life. As tor Clav ering, be was a gentleman, and that was the end of that phase ot the matter as far as she was con cerned. It was only tonight that she had been conscious of a certain youth ful'eagerness as she paced up and down the hall waiting to hear bint run UP the steps. She had paused opce and laughed at herself as she realized that she was acting like a slid expecting her lover, when she wa» merely a coldly—no longer sVen bitterly—disillusioned woman, bored with this enforced inaction In New York, welcoming a little adventure to distract her mind from its brooding on the misery she oad left behind her in Europe, and • oO the future to which she had committed herself. And a mid night adventure! She had shrugged her shoulders and laughed again as she had admitted him. But she felt no disposition to laugh as she sat alone In the chill ing room. She was both angy and appalled to remember that she bad fSlt a quivering, almost a disten sion of her nerves as she had sat there with him in the silence and solitude ot *he night. That she had felt a warm pleasure in the' interest that betrayed him into positive impertinence, and that a sick terror had shaken her when she saw that he was making up his mind not to see her again. She had not betrayed herself for a mo ment. she was too old a hand in the game of men and women for thst, and she had let him go with out a sign, secure in the confidence that he was at her beck; but she knew now, and her hands clenched and her face distorted as she ad mitted it, that if he had suddenly snatched her in his arms she would have flamed into passion and felt herself the incarnation of youth and love. Incredible. Unthinkable. She!' What should she do? Flee? She had come to New York for one' purpose only, to settle her financial affairs In the briefest possible time' and return to the country where her work lay. But she had been detained beyond expectation, for the slow reorganisation of one of the companies In which a large! portion ot her fortune was invest-'; efl would not be complete without, her final signature. There were other important transfers to be ! made, and moreover Judge Trent had insisted that she become thor oughly acquainted with her busi ness affairs and able to maintain: an intelligent correspondence with her trustees when he himself hud retired. She had shown a remark able aptitude tor finance and be was merciless in his insistence, de manding an hour of her time every day. Business. She hated t* word. What did it matter But she knew that it did matter, and su premely. She might have ths beauty, the brains, and the sex domination to win men to her way of thinking when she launched herself into the maelstrom of poli- tics, but she was well, aware that her large fortune would be half the battle. It furnished the halo anti the sinews, and it gave her the power to buy men who could not ■be persuaded. She had vowed that Austria should be saved at any cost. < No, she could not go now. Shs must remain for another month— ■two months, possibly. She was no longer in that undisciplined stage ■'of youth when flight from danger teems the only solution. To wreck the lives of others in order to se cure her own peace of mind would •make her both ridiculous and con 'temptible in her own eyes, and she jliad yet to despise herself. She would “stick it out,” “see it through," to quote the vernacular of these curious American novels she had been reading; trusting that ahe had merely been suffering from a flurry of the senses . . . not so remarkable perhaps. . . But her mind drifted back to the past month. Senses? And if it were not that alone, but merely the inevitable accompaniment ol far stranger processes . . .if it were wh&t she had once so long sought anti with such disastrous results . . . • She had believed for so many years that it existed somewhere, in some man . that it was every woman’s right . . . even if it could not last for ever. . . . But while it lasted! After all, Imagination had its uses It helped to prolong as well as create She sank back and closed her eyes, succumbing to an Ineffable languor. It lasted but a moment.

Tbt room was bitterly cold. There were only ashes on the hearth. t XIII Clavering turned hot and cold several times during bis walk home. He bad been atrociously rude, Impertinent. If she hadn’t ordered him out of the house It must have been because she was a creature of moods, and he bad merely amused her for the hour. No doubt she woul<i wake up in a proper state of indignation and give her servants orders. . , . Or—was she sincere when she de manded his friendship, willing to put up with his abominable man ners, trusting to her own wit to defeat him, lull his suspicions? Friendship! The best tiring for him to do was to avoid her like the plague. He hated to admit it, but he was afraid of her, not so much of falling in love with her and go ing through tragedy, which was probably what it Would come to, as ot the terrible force so skillfully hidden in that white and delicate body, of a powerful personality fortified by an unimaginable past. She gave the impression of a wom an who had been at grips with life and conquered it, from first to last. Formidable creature! An extraor dinary achievement if true. But was it? Women, no matter how beautiful, wealthy, highly placed and powerfully organized, got the worst of it one way or another. When t!t»y f e u j n i ove ‘ W ere :;t to'lose their heads, and with that the game. Technique crum bled. For a moment he imagined her in love, dissolved, helpless; then hastily changed the subject. He liked women to be strong—hav ing long since abandoned his ear lier ideal of the supine adorant— but not too strong. Certainly not stronger than himself. He had met a good many "strong” women in the last twelve years, swathed, more often than not, in disarming femininity. A man hadn’t a chance with them, man’s strength as a rule being all on ‘the outside. Women grew up and men didn’t. That was the infernal truth. . .(T9 Be Continued).

Callahan stood guarded by two members after the seargeant ;.t arms had ordered other members hack into the cham ber. The eighth charge in the bill of impeachment against Governor Walton was voted Thursday by the lower house, which it approved 77 .0 14, article 12 of its committee report accusing the executive of de claring- martial law in Tulsa, “when no cause, reason or ground existed therefor.” Calahan’s bitter attacks on the klan, the first which have been made in the house during the ex traordinary session occurred after c. long debate on whether the house should vote for impeachment FIRE DEPARTMENT MAKES SHORT RUN The fire department answered a call from box 26 Thursday night I about 6 o’clock, when it was dis covered that the fire was in Brook lyn Heights, where a trash pile had caught, causing a large with lit tle damage. A young boy, walking down West Church street, near box 26, and seeing the blaze in Brooklyn Heights, pulled the alarm, think ing that the fire department would know where the fire was. Soon thereafter a 'large crowd of excited residents were following the fire wagons, the trash pile was soon ex tinguished.

Representative Thornibrough, democrat, was one of the first to defend Governor Walton when discussion of article 10 was start ed. “I am earnestly opposed to mlii tarism.” Thornbi'ough said, “but I would much rather see a bunch of boys marching up and down these streets in uniform than a bunch of men marching with pillowslips over their heads. Dr. G. S.

They didn’t tell you that a year or a year and a half ago hijackers, bootleggers and murderers made the public, highways in Tulsa county unsafe for citizens to travel nor that a ! group of citizens had patrolled; these highways for three months' and made them safe for travel." TRAPP DECLARED ACTING GOVERNOR. OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 26. lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp was declared acting governor of Oklahoma in a decision of the state supreme court late Thursday, mak ing permanent a writ of prohibition against Governor J. C. Walton and district Judge Tom G. -Chambers, Sr., which restrains them from in teri'erring with the lieutenant governor’s assumption of the of fice. The court announced its deeb sion orally after a brief conference following an afternoon of, argu ment. The decision, it was ex plained, made the writ effective against J. C. Walton as an indiv idually and not as governor. CHURCHESMAKING CAMPAIGN GO FORWARD “The 30 churches in the Friend ship Baptist church association are now making the home run to go over the top in the campaign for new subscribers to the Christian Index, the official church paper,” Rev. E. T. Moore says. The goal is 250 new subscribers and only 5 days remain for the work, the cam paign ending October 31. “The churches at Buena Vista and Smithville have put the paper in the church budget, thereby go ing far beyond the number appor tioned them. Pleasant Grove has finished the task. Plains has al ready gone over, with more to fol low. Bethel has secured more than half and the people there are jubi lant over the victory which they expect to reach Sunday night. “A final report will appear f The Times-Recorder,” said Mr. Moore, one week from today, and it is hoped that it can be shown that every church has gone over the top. Let no Baptist sleep for five days," he concluded. TANLAC 1 VEGETABLE PILLS A Safe Laxative 1,000.000 Sold in June ( ? igH J 8 f •■fr'S w .C.
