sleepless vigilance which must forever
be the price of a business man's safety. ,
Leila, gay and excited as a school- j
girl, chattered on ceaselessly to Plank;

red lips, pouring out In broken phrases j

with I.cila an action for damages and
divorce.
First of all he went tr the Lenox
club and dressed. Then he dined spar-
ingly and alone. The motor car was
waiting when he came out ready to
run down to the great Hotel < orona,
whither the Japanese steward had con-
ducted Mortimer. Mortimer had dined i
heavily, hut his disorganized physical
condition was such that it had scarce-
ly affected him at all.
Again Quarrier went over patiently
and carefully the very simple part lie
had reserved for Mortimer that even-
lng, explaining exactly what to say to j
Leila and what to say to Plank 111 case
of insolent interruption. Then he told .
Mortimer to he ready at ti o clock,
turned on his heel with a curt word to
the Japanese, descended to the street,
entered his motor car again and sped
away to the Hotel Santa Ueglna.

And to her maid she nodded that they
were at homo to Captain Voucher.
Quarrier had met him, too, just as
he was leaving the hotel lobby. They
exchanged the careful salutations of
men "who had no use for one another.
On the Englishman's clean cut face a
deeper hue settled as he passed; on
Quarrier's not a trace of emotion, but

The night was magnificent. Myri-
ads of summer stars spangled the
heavens. Plank, driving his big motor
northward through the night, Leila
Mortimer beside iilni, twice mistook
the glimmer of a firefly for the distant
lamp of a motor, which amused Leila,
and her clear young laughter floated
back to the ears of Sylvia and Siward.
curled up in their corners of the huge
tonneau. But they were too profound-
ly occupied with each other to heed
the sudden care free laughter of the
young matron, though in these days
her laughter was Infrequent enough to
every time I did it 1 was certain one
of your men wouvl march me out."
He laughed, but did not tell her that
his men had reported the first episode .
and that l;e had instructed them that ^
Mrs. Mortimer and her friends were ;
to do exactly as fliey pleased at the
Fells. However, she knew it, localise i
a garrulous gardener, proud of ills
service with Plank; had informed her.
"Beverly," she said, "you are a dear.
If people only knew what I know!"
He began to turn red. She could
see It even In the flickering lamp shot
darkness. And she teased him for
awhile, very gently, even tenderly, and
their voices grew lower in a half seri-
ous badinage that ended with a quiet.
Indrawn breath, a sigh nnd silence.
And now the river swept into view,
a darkly luminous sheet set with re-
flected stars. Mirrored lights gleamed
in It. Sudden bright yellow flashes
zigzagged into Its somber depths. The
foliage edged it with a deeper gloom,
over which, on the heights, twinkled
the multicolored lights of Riverside
inn.
Uj> the broad, gentle grade they sped,
curving in and out among the clumps
of trees and shrubbery, then on a level,
sweeping in a great circle up to the
steps of the inn.
Now all about them from the bril-
liantly lighted verandas the gay tu-
mult broke out like an uproarious wel-
come after the swift silence of their
journey. The stir of jolly people keen
for pleasure, the. clatter of crockery,
the coming and going of waiters, of
guests, of hansoms, coupes, victorias
and scores of motor cars wheeling and

"/ drink to your
health, Stephen."
"Hello!" she said serenely, saunter-
ing In, her long, pale hands bracketed
on her narrow hips, her lips disclosing
her teeth in a smile so like that nerv-
ous muscular recession which passed
for a prnlle on Quarrier's visage that
for one moment lie recognized It and
thought she was mocking him. But
she strolled up to him, meeting Ills eye
calmly, and lifted her slim neck, lips
passive under ills Impetuous kiss.
"Is Mrs. Vendennlng out?" be asked,
laying Ills hands on the bare shoulders
of the tall, pallid girl tail as he am',
as pallid.
"No, Mrs. Veil, is in, Howard."
"Now? You mean she Is coming In
to interrupt"—
"Oh, *io! She isn't fond of you,
Howard."
"Yoi} said"- he began almost an-
grily. but she laid her lingers across
his Hps.
m how-
f a woman,
or the fascination of the mask you
turn on the world and the secret vis-
age, naked iu its vice, that you re-
serve for me. But I love you—In my
fashion. Count on that. Howard, for
that is ail you can surely count on.
And now, at last, you know."
As he stood there It came to him
slowly that deep within him lie had al-
ways known this; that he had never
really counted on anything else, though
he had throttled his doubts by cover-
ing her throat with diamonds. Her
strangeness, her pallor, her acquies-
cence, the delicate libit of depravity In
her, the subtle rtjsponse to all that was
worst In Iilni bud attracted him, only
to learn, little by little, that the taint
of corruption was only a taint infect-
ing others, not her; that the promise
of evil was only a promise; that lie
had to deal with a young body, but
an old intelligence, and a mind so old
that at moments her failed gaze al-
"All—almost all"—
"No, all," he demanded.
But she only raised the glass to her
Hps, still looking at him as she drank.
They became unreasonably gay al-
most immediately, though the bever-
age scarcely accounted for the delicate
Intoxication that seemed to creep into
their Veins. Leila exchanged glance
after glance with Plank. Siward, al-
ternately the leader in it all, then the
enchanted listener, bewitched, enthrall-
ed, felt care slipping from his shoul-
ders like a mantle and sadness exhal-
lug from a heart that was beating
strongly, steadily, fearlessly-as a
heart should beat in the breast of him
who lias taken at last his fighting
chance. He took it now under her
eyes foe honor, for manhood and for
the ideal which had made manhood
no longer an empty term muttered in
desperation by a sick body and a mind
too sick to control it.
Yes, at last the lifelong battle was
on. He knew it. He knew, too, what-
ever Ills fate with her or without her
he must always go on with the battle
for the safeguarding of that manhood
the consciousness of which she had
aroused.
Ail he knew was that, through the
medium of his love for her, whatever
In him of the spiritual remained or
had been generated, was now awake,
alive, strong, vital, Indestructible-an
Central State Normal
The Central State Normal, Oklaho-
ma's oldest and largest state institu-
tion, is located at Ldmond, the center
of the state, and half way between
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. Hence
the students can keep in close touch
with all the great state and national
movements, can see and hear the
great !\tatesmen, musicians, artists
nnd lecturers, at little or no expense.
The large faculty of skillful instruct-
ors are graduates of the universities
of Chicago, Michigan. Yale, Missouri,
Nebraska, Texas, Columbia and oth-
er high grade institutions, and have
had years of successful experience in
teaching their special branches.
The library, gymnasium, literary
societies, and laboratories—physical,
chemical, biological and agricultural
—, are well equipped for the free use
of the students.
First class board and room may be
secured at fci per week.
The Commercial Courses will meet
a long felt want, and tuition is free.
No tuition or fees of any kind will
be charged for any of the courses.
Even the courses in Music, Art and
Elocution are now offered free of tu-
ition. , t.
The diploma of the Centra] State
Normal will be accepted as a perma-
nent certificate not only in Oklahoma,
but in other states also. This recog-
nition is given the Central Normal on
account of its being the largest and
oldest state institution and because of
its enviable reputation for a high
standard of literary excellence.
All superintendents, principals and
teachers interested in continuing their
education should write a letter to Dr.
McLauchlin, President of the Central
Normal, giving a statement of all
literary work they have done, refer-
ring to certificates and diplomas aril
experience, and secure such credits as
the Normal will give, then attend
Summer Terms and add to these crei -
its. Soon a year's work at Edmond
would enable every one who is dili-
gent to secure a diploma. Armed with
a Central Normal diploma, the teach-
er's troubles are over so far as certif-
icates are concerned.

Quarrier's face had color enough

ever was in the man of emotion was

All this Plank, in his thorough, pains-

how It could possibly bear upon the
