SYNOPSIS.
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

closed her eyes, succumbing to an
Ineffable languor.
It lasted but a moment. She

impatience and disgust; and s!>

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.

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.

cd fists were waving ,n the air as
Callahan was forcibly ejected into
1 cloak room just outside the
house chamber. 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

lower house, which it approved 77
.0 14, article 12 of its committee

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.

lof Governor J. C. Walton on arti
cle 10, which concerns his declar
ation of martial law in Tulsa coun
ty- Callahan said that 90 per cent
of the jury commissioners in the
state were members of the Ku Klux
Klan.
‘People in this state have been
tried in secret before they reached
the court room," Callahan de
clared.
“Do you know that 90 per cent
of the Oklahoma jury commission
ers are klansmen?” one member
demanded.
“Yes, sir; 1 know it,” Callahan
replied.
He then related how Governor
Walton declared war on the klan
and how Grand Dragon JevOtt,
“almost immediately defied tht*
executive to overthrow the Kux
Klux.”
“This same Mr. Jewett,” assert
ed Callahan waving his arms and
vigorously shaking his head, “is
dictating the kind of legislation to
be enacted by this body. He . . .

The force of the attack knocked

crushed it and two legislators went
to the floor, surrounded almost
immediately by a group of indign
ant house members.
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. Long, democrat, Tulsa
in a sweeping defense of his dis
trict, declared that much publicity
had been given to the fact that a
mob there.cut off a negro’s ear.
“They didn’t tell you,” Dr. Long
said, referring to those who made
public the testimony, “that the mob
was composed of negroes and that
they were not masked. 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.
