For Miss Alvis.
On Satufday evening Mrs. H. B.
Cullom entertained a few guests In
honor of Mies Floy Alvis of Fort
Worth.
A tray was passed from which each
guest chose a tiny stocking. The
stockings were matched In like col-
ors for partners and the tables found
by the colors of the flowers upon
them.
On each table was a bouquet of
flowers of the same color as the
stockings. The games were scored
with candy beans which were drop-
ped In the stockings. After the
games a dainty luncheon was served

Surprise Wedding.
It takes people of more than ordi-
nary ingenuity to surprise their
friends about something that every-
body is looking for but Harry Tll-
lingTiast and Miss Lila Stansell were
just that sharp w"hen they were mar-
ried In Fort Worth on Saturday afternoon-Miss
Stansell and her mothti- Mrs.
J. J. Stansell on last Saturday morn-
ing took the early train to Fort
Worth to do some shopping for the
approaching weeding which had been
set for a few days preceding Christ-
mas. At least that is what Mrs.
Stansell thought but Miss Lila had
another idea in view and was not
at all surprised when after the rain
was well on the way to Fort Worth
Mr. Tillinghast appeared aboard and
was 'bound for the same city.
The young people managed to pur-
suade Mrs. Stansell to let them move
the wedding day up a week or so
and on arriving in Fort Worth were
married at the Presbyterian manse
by Rev. D. Caldwell pastor of the
First Presbyterian cburch.
Since the denoument of this shop-
ping expedition Mrs. Stansell's serv-
ices as a chaperone are in demand.
Telegrams to Mrs- Byars" other
relatives and friends announced the
marriage and foretold their return on
the midnight train Saturday. A num-
ber of friends sat around the station
expecting to meet the bride and
groom and after shivering around
the platform for at least ten minutes
while the .passengers alighted were
rewarded by the appearance of Mrs.
Stansell unattended.
For the second time Mr. and Mrs.
Tillinghast eluded their friends.
They .returned yesterday and left
at once for Pauls Valley where they
will make their home.
Early Christmas week they will
leave for New Mexico to spend
Christmas week with Mr. Tilllnghast's
mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Tillinghast will live

A Splendid Program.
For the past two weeks the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy have had
an appeal before the citizens of Ard-
more for donations of money to be
used in the payment of the $300
pledge they have made to the Old
Confederate Home.
They have had one response. It
was from a little girl nine years old
who gave a dollar.
If the Ardmore folk could catch the
spirit of this little girl what a thank-
offering the daughters' would have
for Christmas.
Again the Daughters are asking
aid from the public .but this time
it Is not to be given without a return
a more than adequate return.
On next Thurs'day night at the
Roison opera house they will present
Mine. Harriet Labadie in Henrik
Ibsen's great play "Hedda Gabler."
They have had to pay a big price
to get Mine 'Laliadie. Chancellor
Bradford wrote the ladles that in
her line Madame Labadie is as great
an artist as Schuman-Heinck.
To all women interested in litera-
ture to all school children especially
to high school children the reading
of "Hedda Gabler" is teeming with
interest.
There is a mystery surrounding the
writing of the eccentric Ibsen that
charms the audience to a keen atten-
tion that none of the play escapes
t'hem.
Mme. Labadie Is a profound Ibsen
student and has put in the presenta-
tion of Hedda Gabler her interpreta-
tion of his meaning and mode of
thought.
The play should be well patron-
ized. Committees Meet.
The various committees aiiointed
to serve for the girls' Christmas
dance will meet wiUi Miss Lena
Gardenliire tomorrow afternoon at
3:30 o'clock.
The girls will serve no punch dur-
ing the evening.
The list has been given Miss Gar-
denhire Iby Secretary John Nichols of
the Elks and contains the names of
the Elks in good stanliting which
will be the ones who are eligible for
invitations on this date.
The young ladles have adopted this
list in deference to a ruling of the
house committee to the effect that
contrary to past customs this Christ-
mas the Elks will not keep open
bouse.
This .is done through no selfish
spirit .but because the Elks lodge
has grown and prospered to such
an extent that the entertainment of
its own membership very comfort-
ably fills the rooms.
The date for the girls' dance has
been sot for the Friday (before New
Year's.
Willie Russell entertained a num-
ber of his frienvjs on Saturday even-
ing from 7 to 10 o'clock with a
masquerade party in honor of his
twelfth birthday at the home of his
parents Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Russell
on C street northwest. Delicious re-
freshments were served the young
folks and a very jolly time was
had by all.
The Missionary Society of the Pres-
byterian church will meet promptly
at 2:30 o'clock at the .Manse tomor-
row afternoon.

CHAPTER XXI.
At Bay.
A horseman was leisurely making
his way through the fringe of high
bush-veldt running parallel to the
river In the valley below. His way
kept him in the open with the piti
less sun scorching down uion him;
but he seemed impervious to the heat.
His .horse moved slowly with droop-
ing head mnd lolling ears with every
ounce of suierfliiou8 energy put in.
to the operation of swishing off the
flies with his long unkempt tail.
The poor .brute's gait was weary
hoKless but it knew its work and
wouUji do it; it was used to Its rider
used to him and to the weary
arid land of the Kalahari Desert.
Feriilan Elwood was never the
man to consider his own personal
comfort or for that matter his
horse's when such a course might
interfere with his purpose. Just now
his ))iin)ose demanded a birds-eye
view of the valley of Molopo River
and a watchful eye for what might
be hidden therein. His course was
the vantage ground needed for the
purpose. He was looking for a flash
of white canvas through the trees
'below or the smoke of a ullistant
camp-fire which .might indicate the
presence of a trekking wagon.
His search was close and unremit-
ting; no thought was permitted that
might divert his attention no sight
beyond that which lay in the valley
lie had been riding since daylight
nursing his .horse with due regard to
his own weight and the nature of
tha waterless wastes through which
he iwas riding. The desert had few
terrors for Mm. He had crossed and
re-crossed It so often; he had hunt-
ed in its dimmest recesses until
familiarity had bred indifference to
its dangers and had given him a
knowledge of almost equal to that
of a bushman.
At last his listless horse felt a
check upon the loosely hanging reins.
It halted with suspicious alacrity
and the man sat looking out ahead
with speculative eyes. A thin twist
of smoke was lifting skywards be-
yond a Klistant ramiiart of heavy
timber and close bush. For some
moments he contemplated this ob
ject then quite suddenly he lifted his
reins and urged the horse down to-
wards the sheltering trees below
him. The camp-fire whence proceed
ed that column of tell-tale smoke
was his goal.
Guy Chalmer was alone in his
camp.
A week had gone since the loss of
his cattle. The search for them was
still proceeding but he had almost
given up hope. That morning as a
last effort his two boys had gone
in opposite directions along the riv-
er to search the country around the
water-holes; now he was awaiting
their return.
His vor-looper had deserted. Three
days had been sufficient for the poor
wretch to recover from the worst
effects of his flogging and he
promptly decamped at the first fa-
vorable opportunity taking with him
what provisions he could lay his
hands on And one of his baas's best
blankets.

tJuy was lying stretched out upon
his bed kaartel In me wagon. Ills
catastrophe weighed heavily ukh
him and left him at a loss. lie
knew that if his Iboys returned with-
out the cattle this time he must
consider them gone for good. Then
what was ho to do? He tried to
think the matter over coolly but
could see 110 way out of the dit't'i
eulty. One thing was certain he
could not return to his friends. He
remembered Jerry ftoyles final
words. Resides he knew his com-
rades and those others who were
banded with them. Out of all the
directions in which he grope. !l seek
ing a solution of his predicament.
there seemed to be only one that
offered anything like promise.
There was a trader In the neigli
borhood of Marqwenk who had trek-
oxen but he knew enough to be cer
lain Unix ne wouiu not nire tnem
for a journey through the desert and
to purchase them was out of the ques-
tion. Consequently there remained only
one means of acquiring them and
on this he fixed his whole atten-
tion. It was a question of inveigling
his two boys into joining him in his
enterprise. If this could be done then
It WW8 only left for them to ride
over to Maroqweng a Ms-tance of
perhaps sixty miles and make a
night raid uin the kraals. It was
neck or nothing. A successful raid
would put things right. If ho failed
he felt pretty certain that he was
hardly likely to escape with his life
which after all considering the cir
cumstances was hardly a matter tih'at
need worry him.
He thought long over his plans
and the more he considered them
the better and easier the thing ap-
peared. His spirits rose in proportion.
He felt that all hope was not yet
gone and he found himself less anx-
ious for his cattle than for his boys'
return to camp. He kilid not doubt
his powers of persuasion witih them.
Besides he would and could be lib-
eral in his promises. He was well
aware how easiy it is to buy a
Kaffir.
As the morning riew on the heat
in the tent grew more and more in-
tolerable and at last he was forced
to lie about in the shade impotently
chafing and railing against his ex-
ecrable luck.
H was noon. The sun was directly
overhead and the shadow under the
wagon was confined to just the nar-
row limits of the vehicle's bolty.
There was not a sound to break up
the silence; therefore it came with
something of the nature of a shock
when the sudden crackling and
swishing of bush fell upon his ears.
The sound proceeded from just be-
yond the camp clearing and with a
start 'he sat bolt upright. A moment
later he darted out into the open.
He was thrilled with a sudden wild
hope. The sound was that of an
animal or .possibly animals making
thoir way through the thorns. Coulffl
tt be that the cattle had returned?
.No. His hopes were dashed al-
most Immediately.
The bushes suddenly parted and
Ferman Elwood rode into the clear-
ing. He rode straight towards the sta
ing man but his eyes were quietly
viewing the camp from the wagon
with its trek-chain and neck-yoke
strung out abend of it as though
only just awaiting the inspanning of
the oxen to the fire and the litter
of cooking utensile lying adjacent.
The owner of these things seemed
to concern him least of all.
He drew up his horse and dis-
mounted and his greeting came in
a monosyllabic inquiry.
"Well" he said and his eyes rest-
ed dispassionately on the other's
dark features.
It was that greeting the slightly
ironical tone of It that suddenly
awoke the ether to a full realiza-
tion of something which until then
had not e'en suggested (itself to his
harassed mind.
From the time of his siarting out
on his journey he had feared inter-
'erenre from this man; he had aD
ticlpated it the whole way and yet
the surest possible bar to his prog-
ress had hapiHMied without his asso-
ciating the matter with him. Blind
fool that he had Hen idiot mad-
man. He cursil himself furiously.
The loss of his cattle was this man's
work.
As he stood without making any
answer Elwood went on
"Hadn't we better move over to
the shelter of the wagon ?" he sug-
gested. "It's devilish hot out here
and I've had a long ride In the
open."
Heedless of what the other said
Guy concentrated all h!a feelings Into
one sharp demand.
"Where aro tho calllo?" ho cried
Ms dark face net; a deal sprat liKlit
In his black eye. Ho ha) Huddonly
thrust himself before the big man
directly between til m atul the wag
on and so barred his way.
"I've come to discuss them and
other things with you in the shade
of the wagon."
Th two men looked squarely Into
each other's eyes and finally (5uy
swung himself around and 1xl the
way In the desired direction.
As they came to the vehicle he
moved rounll to the mil of it as
though to climb Into the tent. Hut
Ml wood's voice checked him.
"In the shade underneath" he said
auietly. "Tho tent would bo Impos
sible in this heat."
His meaning was plain enough to
the other. He had no Intention of
taking any chances. He guessed that
(lily's firearms were In the wagon
The latter paused and swung round
but bis angry eyes might as well
have questioned a stone Image. He
hesitated a moment then turned
away with a shrug and preparvfll to
mount to the tent In si:te of the
warning. This time K. wood's words
came short and sharp.
"Don't do it!" he cried and glanc
ing round saw mat. his Hand was
on the butt of a revolver.
"Is that It?" he denilamled coolly
"Yes if you are unreasonable.'
There was a pause while again
their eyes unet. Then KIwkm1 wont
on: "Let us un Herstand each other.
There is going to bo no trifling. 1
am not here for the pleasure of your
company ibut on business. You
should know that. If you'll wait a mo-
ment 111 just loosen my horse's
girths."
"Very weM." Guy flung himself
uimn the blankets under the wagon
and began to fill his pipe. Tho oth-
er's quiet manner was not without
its effect upon him. He too became
outwardly more cool but his. feel
ings were the feelings of a weaker
nature compelled by a stronger.
Never in his life bad he hated so
bitterly as he hated this man just
now.
Presently Elwood joined Jilm. He
did not offer to smoke but sat
staring at the surrounding bush
with grave contemplative eyes.
You would be warned" he saiUl
slowly.
"On the contrary I think I was
very mvuch warned."
"And you chose to Ignore the warn
ing."
There Is no need to discuss that.
What have you done with my cattle?
Whtit do you Intend now?"
"That's better. liy this time your
cattle are safely sheltered in my
new kraals at IM a faking and I In
tend to prevent your finishing your
journey. If you are sensible you
won't attempt to go on for I give
you my word you'll only waste your
time. You will never reach the Da-
maraland 'border. You will never de-
liver the letters you are carrying.
Now you uniilierstand my intentions.
But I have something else to tell
you; listen carefully to this it may
help you to fall in with my wishes.

tory before any other Kwer can in.

has failed. Read this."
He handed him a closely-written
letter In the firm handwriting of
John Verricker. Guy reluctantly took
It read the contents from end to
end. And what he read set his last
hopes tumbling aliout his ears. John
Verricker was returning to Mafeking
having completed his work. The af
fairs of Hechuanalani;i were now in

and the letter told how with char-
acteristic energy the great man had

sand troops to enforce British con-
trol and raise the Union Jack in

Elwood had said truly. It meant
tho bretik-up of tho great conspiracy.
It might mean even more if that
letter were honest. An) 11 somehow
(iiiv however much he desired to
believe otherwise felt that all that
was written above that plain signa
ture was the simple truth.
He looked up from bis road ing;
nor could he keep the bitterness of
his feelings out of his face. Blwood
was not looking at him. Ho felt
rather than saw what the effect of
the letter must be and ho had not
onie to triumph over a fallen enemy.
"You have done this" (luy said at
last and his mouth was dry and his
tonguo seemed suddenly to have be
come too lilg for it. ins upeocii
was quite thick.
"I have taken my share in it."
"You knew all along what was
being "!k)iie?"
"Yes."
"How?"
Elwood remdiinod silent a minute
measuring bis adversary with steady
eyes.
'Is It of consequence?" ho as.ked
at. last with an intufferent raising
of his eyelyrows.
(luy gave a short hard laugh.
"No I suppose It Isn't."
"Well? And you will turn back?"
Guy's retort came tit once and
with dogged force.
"No I shall go on."
Tho other shook his head.
"iYou will not. There are two
ourses left open to you. One is to
tur back atid remain in IMareklng
until such time as our compact Is
ettled. Tho other is to remain here.
Don't make any mistake" ho went
on as Ouy smiled contemptuously at
his wor:b. "It mo explain your po.
sitlon. You are watched. There is
not a single move you make but
what I hear of it. And there are
enough men surrounding this camp
at this very iinoment to carry out
any instructions uiey muy receive
from me. If you attemjit to go on
It means "
lie ehruggod.
"Hell bake you! No!"
"Then you will have to stay here
as you are. All commutvicatlon Is cut
off by my Kaffirs. Your supplies
will last you just so long. After that
'Starvation I suHise" Guy added
sneeringly as the other broke off.
"I suppose."
"And if I return do you know
what it means to me? You who seem
to have spied everything out It
means deatih anyway. Our conspiracy
s not ohild's play."
"No. But you arew rong. Your con
federates will ibe far too Inisy short
ly looking after their own safety to
bother about you. In a week or two's
time they will know what is doing
and then like all true conspirators
an'it niterkats they wil; hunt their
respective bole. Ilesldes my Inter
ests are to preserve your life until
our compact Is fulfilled and I give
you my word I shall spare no trouble
In that direction. Hy next August
I shou'd like to say that aM these
people will be out of the country or
have developed into good sound law-
abiding citizens. There is less to
fear from them than you think."
There was something so quietly
matter-of-fact In Kl wood's manner
that it was impossible to doubt his
sincerity. Guy listened because he
ha J to. And in spite of his feelings.
In spite of his hatred of the man
who was thus calmly forcing his will
upon him he found himself trying
to estimate the nature which prompt-
ed these actions. lie had a feeling
similar to that of a man bound hand
and foot who powerless has 1 t
all desire for resistance and is left
mute and wondering calmly awaliing
what Is to happen.
His handsome face was serious. It
was something mone. There were
drawn lines alout his eyes and
mouth lines which suggest cJ 11 mental
strain. But he was unconscious of
such a strain. His brain at that
moment was suer'aUve!y active but
with a sort of sub-conscious thought
flitting through it. Just as a curious
fear was gripping him of which he
had no realization. And the trend
of both thought and fear were not
of his baffled enterprise but of the
purpose of this man. For the first
time since its making the compact
Patriotism
stood out first and foremost In his
mind a threat an overwhelming dis-
aster. A nervous dread wrung him.
It was the irresistible force with
which this man was driving him on
to its fulfilment that brought it
about. Nothing deterred him. It was
like the methoHB of the savage hunt-
ers who begin a drive in the oen
with only the golden Jiorlon bound-
ing the view. Tho herd starts to
run. They run in the direction they
choose for themselves always keep-
ing the hunterh well behind them.
They run without thought wlLh lit-
tlo real fear. Then suddenly they
discover that they .have been herded
Into a "vast wodge-shajied drive al-
ways narrowing narrowing klbwn.
There Is no escape; they miust go on.
And at the end yawns a gaping pit
filled with Blwirp driven stakes. And
so the end.
But sub-consK'lous thought Is tho
fountain of ituspiration and while
Guy remained silent waiting for his
companion to continue something
like inspiration came to Mm. Like
all men of such a nature as his the
way out appealed to him at all times
and before all things. A morally
braver mun would think only of com-
bating danger. A way out had oc-
curred to him now.
He milleU himself together. For
a moment tho drawn lines of his
face became less apparent. Some-
thing of his usual lightness of man-
ner returned to him and helped to
conceal the mental condition which
bad Just been so apparent.
"I admit myself defeated he said
with a smile meant to disarm his
opponent but which did not In any
way deceive. "Iet us suppose that all
