PIPE DREAMS.
All trivial things.
Like butterfly wings.
Or the trill In the throat of the
thrush as he sings
A memory old
Threaded -with gold
And the glimpse of forgotten days
that it brings;
The lilt of a tune
Vrom an old time June
And the scent of a flower from re-
membered springs;
All featiherdown fancies
The mind entrances
And keep It aloof from the day's
Bordid things;
For such are the pictures the oil
brierwood brings
As seen in the haze of its wavering
rings.

The Boulevards.
Relative to the boulevards or drive-
ways which it is proosed shall be
established in our city many good
things will be noticed.
The good effects of these drive-
ways will reach for several blocks
on each side of the drive. It is
not a rich man's movement for
the poor man will get quite as
much benefit from it as those in
better financial circumstances.
It will serve as a good advertise-
ment to the visitors In our city.
f who when taken for a drive on our
boulevards will be struck with the
progressiveness of our citizens.
1
A Clean City.
One of the recommendations of
the Civic Club was to the effect that
the commissioners and mayor be re-
quested to observe the custom of for-
mer years and have a clean up day
In Ardmore. Don't you believe it
would )e a good idea for the Civic
Club to have a street and alley de-
partment and offer small prizes for
the best kept alley and also re-
port those that are not well kept and
have not come up to the require-
ments of the city sanitation?
Then if some other department
would choose vacant lots and ask
the owner to have them planted in
something instead of allowing it
to grow up in weeds another of
our chief ills -would be avoided.
iVou see It wouldn't cost the
property owner a cent more than
otherwise for Commissioner Burnitt
last year made them cut the weeds
from the lots and will do so again
this year. In fact it is cheaper;
except of course this committee will
have to be very politic in t'heir ap-
proach to the property owner for
It might wound some of their feel-
ings and lead them to plant field
corn or some such crop that does
not particularly adorn a lot on a
city street.
You see a property owner Is
sometimes a -very captious person
and has to be approached with the
proper amount of awe very few
Ardmore people are exceedingly care-
less about their own premises and
by the time the vacant lots and
alleys are cleaned out few germs
will be left and few nreedlng places
for mosquitoes.
Last summer for a week or so in
southwest Ardmore you could not en-
Ijoy your porch In the evenings for
tne mosquitoes from a vacant lot
in MeLish Place who were mak-
ing friendly calls on their neighbors.
A ikxI of water stood on this
lot anj fairly swarmed with mos
quitoes of a most friendly and in-
dustiious species.
This nuisance has been oxercome
by filing in the lot this winter but
it will serve as a warning to the
Civic Club to look out for the low
ground and see what may be done
for the health of the city.
Did you ever stop to think that
cities are becoming healthier every
year and all because of city sanita-
tion. In the past thirty years the death
rate of the country has gone down
one half in actual numbers.
The average human life in Ameri-
ca is eighteen years longer than it
was at the close of the civil war.
This astounding situation is due
not to advances in medicine and
surgery but to cleaning up cities
and bettering living conditions gen-
erally. Saving human life and health prob-
lems In general are being recog-
nized as economic Instead of med-
ical problems.
Pure water and food plenty of
fresh air clean houses and stores
check disease.
For instance take tuberculosis. In
1!09 eight million dollars was spent
In fighting It. Last year nearly dou-
ble that amount was spent and this
year will exceed last.
But the disease is yielding;. Half
a century from now It may be abol-
ished. Thirty ytfcrs ago yellow fever
was the scourge of 'Xew Orleans. It
continued until a clergyman. Rev.
Beverly Warner closed up the city.
He fumigated houses screened cis-
terns and oiled gutters. It was a
common saying in New (Orleans
that "the Lord made Warner to
order for the Job." At any rate he
succeeded where generations of phys-
icians had failed.
Typhoid has laid a heavy burden
on our communities but it is in-
excusable for a town to be stricken
wth typhoid.
So in getting to work in behalf of
the city you are influencing the
most valuable asset of our citizen-
ship their health.
At Mrs. Campbell's.
Circle Three of the Christian
church will entertain the young peo-
ple on St. Valentine's at Judge C.

The Invitation.
"What if with her sunny hair
And smile us sunny as cold
She meant to weave me a snare
Of some coquettish deceit?"
Tennyson.
Two days had gone by. On the
second of these Vernon's huge trunks
arrived from Southampton a"d she
was very busy unpacking and ar-
ranging her things.
There was absolutely no doubt of
her aunt's delight in her arrival
and pleasure in her company. But
Jem Bardsley preserved his attitude
of sullen reserve In a way which
would have lieen decidedly unplH.it-
ant had she seen him often enough
for it to be nc:ceable. But she
found bat she saw very little of
him indeed. He breakfasted early
and was off and away on his duties
long before she and Aunt Emma sat
down together to their cosy mewl
in a sunny morning-room at Jilne
o'clock lie came in to lunch but
disappeared Immediately afterwards
as he said to write letters; but also
as Vernon quickly divined because
smoking was not allowed in the
draw lug-room.
He certainly went out on the
second evening of her st.iy; and it
was not possible for her to resist
the conclusion that he had gone o
Barrow End. The ery thought of
the place sent a little shudder
through her. Before the eye of her
fancy that picture constantly .pre-
sented itself. The lighted ball. Jem's
hasty Mi-assured laugh the sight
of Laura in her yellow satin stand-
ing it the half-open door with the
red lamplight behind her ugh! How
hateful it was! But .she could sea
clearly enough that it was also
ditlicult for Jem. So far she was
holding her tongue. But he had no
guarantee for her perpetual silence.
Her aunt knew nothing. She spoke
of the Trent s as of iieople on the
fringe of xsslbilit ies people wit ii
whom she and her nephew were
hardly acquainted. Ah well!
The girl from Vancouver hoped
she would soon forget it. She had
fled from one complication over
there to find herself enmeshed here
in a new one. But thank tin fates
this one was not her affair. Lionel
Gladwyn emphatically was.
She liked her -malinger had liked
him for nearly ten years. He was
ten or twelve years older than she
had taught her to ride and many
other things. He came to the Ranch
first a broken-down disappointed
man. lie had been well off wild
fond of gay company. But be had
not ueen vicious. He had married
young iand without grudging had
allowed his young wile to participate
in his betting racing motoring loaf
lug existence. They wanted no chil-
dren no responsibilities just to en-
joy life. And he presently found
that if they continued to enjoy II
a' their present pace they would
soon have arrived at. the .bankruptcy
court. He was sent foi y the solic-
itor who had always mi in aged his
father's affairs and pretty thorough-
ly frightened. He told his wife that
they must pull up.
She received the news in the
manner for which hci lite' had fit-
ted her. She said it was "rotten
luck." Lionel a good fellow at heart
told her that ho thought their be-:
plan would be to quit the whole
thing to lone England sell thei
motors and buy an estate some-
where "on; West" where you could
really live well and have a good
lime at about a tenth of the cost
of their present hotel existence.
She heard him out and in the
end consented. What else could sh
do? She had apparen ly drawn a
matrimonial blank a man who could
ghe her only a very short run for
ln-r inonev. Her nature whs of dif-
ferent fihre from his. He had .in J
under-la.N er of sound tissue bclo.v a j
love of pleasure ind surface nlo- '
lence She was a woman such as Mr '
rineios "ins fundamentally ani-
mal and dependent upon creatine
comforts. She did .Kit say to her-
self in so many .ords "I nust
have luxuries am if Lionel cmpiio'
provide them I mu-t find some mm
who will." Bu; that was whir it all
amounted to. in reality. H w;;s fond

grew so peeviiih s; nillng that he
was half distracted. He sent her
w ith a maid to i dorado Spiings
!o try and L-et her .u-cliiuitliU'd as
ho said. Sho prayed to be sent
to England lie could not. afford It.
The remains of his p i rimouy had
been sunk in the ptiicliase of his
pretty estate and for him to make
lit r such an allowance as would ke ep
her in Eng'and was simply out of
the question quite apart from hi
disapproval of the Idea of separation
.She went to Colorado Springs and
wrote to one of lb men she 'bid
known and liked best in her society
das to collie and relievo her lmre-
doin. The ref-ult of It was that she
returned to England with this man
Percy Martin.
Those who had known young Glad-
wyn were unprepared for the ex-
tent to which this catastrophe pros-
trated him. His change of fortune
had brae-i" him had given him a
sense of resM)nsibility. If his wife
could have reconciled herself to
Ihe lite it wonid have been for him
a happy one. He had thought or
coaxing her to become the mother
of one or two deir little sons or
daughters whom he could teach to
tide ami tow and shoot and garden
and who would make the wilderness
a true paradise In the eyes of their
fa' her.
And now his wife had left him Be-
cause he could no longer supply
her with the creature enmvorts and
luxuries which she craved she had
gone aay and left him disgraced
miserable alone.
"I never gave her a rough word"
he said in a dazed kind of way.
Of course she put it on the usual
modern grounds the plea of Irre-
sistible passion. But even Lionel had
sense enough to see through tint.
She was not that kind of woman
"She thinks Martin can do her bet
ter than I can now" he bitterly re
marked; and in tha sentence sum-
med up his wife's motives Justly
and completely.
it was Just at this point of his
career that he fell in with 'Mr. Wil-
mot. The estate he had bought hid
become odious to him and under
the advice of his new friend he
sold it and came to live with him.
The English air of comfort and good
management which pervaded every-
thing in the Wilmot household was
soothing to his lacerated affections.
Ho became very fond of the little
English girl whose father wus al-
most comically careful of the purity
ol her accent and pleased that she
should have an English playfellow.
Time by very slow degrees les-
sened the sma'it of his wound.
There had been no divorce. To the
simple-minded Lionel his wife's de-
sertion of him had had in it some-
thing so i-old-bloodoc as to harden
Ills heart 'against her. He had fully
expected her to write and appeal
to him to set her free but. no let-
ter arrived. In the isolation of
his remote life he heard no news
no news of any kind. He still re-
mained the legr.l husband of the wo-
man who so'd herself to the high-
est bidder.
And as the gentle years rolled Im-
perceptibly by the child Vernon
grew to womanhood. Her father
died and Lionel quite suddenly
fell in love with her.
The situation thus created chang-
ed everything. Apart from the fact
of his having a wife living he
knew that to ask a girl who had
never peon anything of the world
to marry the only man she knew
and he a widower or worse and
considerably older than herself was
not what he called playing the game.
He told her he had to tell her.
But he urged her to go to England
before giving him an answer. To
tell the truth Vernon had no Idea
whether she wanted to marry him
or not. He was her own churn her
best friend. But did she love him?
That was what she did not know.
There had been times of late they
hail come to her more frecment'v
when she was filled with restless !
ness and telt that she lived buried
in a hole and that she wanted lo
climb out and see the world beyond
the 'due hills. Both Gladwyn and
she saw clearly that they could not
continue to live in adjacent houses
upon their present terms. They must
either marry or decide not to ma'-ry.
And in the latter case parting was.
ho felt the only thing for him. So
they agreed that she should come to
England and that for twelve months
she should be free. He In the mean-
time would set Inquiries on foot to
find out where his wife was and
if she was still alive.
In resolving to remain behind.
Gladwyn had chosen tho harder part.
Vernon had no idea In her young
undeveloped nature of what it cost
him lo seo her go forth Into a
world full of othwr men. Young
full of health and in his opinion
unspeakably attractive he did won-
der at himself when his straiining
eyes coald no longer see the train
that bore her across the Continent.
But as he returned to the Ranch
emptied of all that had ntido life
joyous he told himself that his
own feelings at that moment were
a justification of his conduct. Ha
knew in his heart that she would
never come back. If that were true
then how wrong he would have been
to tie her down.
Vernon had suffered too In the
parting. She was leaving every fa-
miliar thing behind her. In the last
hour she had been vory near cling-
ing to Lionel and saying that she
could not go. But there was in her
an element of adventure a spirit of
youth and enterprise which drove
her forward. She must see what life
whs before she could settle down
content.
And before she reached New York
the wanderlust had hold of her. She
felt she could go on now to the
world's end. The lady who had been
her escort across Canada) and who
was returning from a visit to a
married daughter came no farther
thyn New York. Sho saw Vernon on
board the lniat and thence the girl
sailed out into the unknown.
And this was the unknown.
This countryside which seemed to
her so curiously divided up by iboun-
darles ''his place where everyone's
property was clearly demarcated
where one saw no wide spaces no
waste land; where houses and farms
seemed to be inhabited by a puz-
z'ing sort of people where neigh-
bors were not neighborly. I Jon el had
prepared her mind as carefully as he
could for the changes she would
find. The first two days of her abode
In England were Bient In great ef-
forts to adjust her Impressions to
his sage counsels. Yes IJonel knew
England no douM but there was a
good deal to puzzle the new-comer.
"My dear" said Aunt Emma after
lunch the next day "I feel that It is
our duty to drive to Barrow End
call upon Mrs. Trent and thank
her for befriending you." he said
It in a tone of courageous resigna-
tion. Her niece heaved a sigh. "Yes and
take back my borrowed plumes" she
said seriously "now that my own
things have come. But I still feel
very much a girl from the back-
woods auntie. Have you any towns
around where I could fix myself
up with clothes?"
Jem made a sound In throait Indic-
ative of mirth. Vernon's American-
isms were the only thing in her
which so far provoked this queer
growling chuckle of his.
"My dear of course. Jem must
drivo us to Yeominster" said Mrs.
Bardsley. "I wonder If you 'hav
time to drive us to Barrow End to-
day Jem?"
"Sorry" said Jem diligently help-
ing himself to more beef "but I
must ride to Appleton and see Da-
vis about Morgan's mortgage"
"A pity. Vernon would have en-
Joyed the cart" said his aunt. "9
must go prosaically in the broug-
ham Vernon."
"I suppose" said the girl after a
minute's thought "that one can buy
a horse in England?"
"Buy a horse? Of course my
child. Do you want to ride?"
"Yes. I feel very cramped with-
out o mount" replied the girl.
"The worst of it is that Jem.
has rea'ly very little time for riding"
said her aunt regretfully. "Still he
does go about a good deal one way
and another and I atfii Bure he wou'.d
be delighted to have a companion."
