turesque In a <t—
wrists and throat in a (lead white con
«rast to his bronzed face and hands.
He wore corduroy trousers and hunt-
ing boots. His hat. back-tilted
.bowed a dark. Byronic waving lock
across his brow.
Cleo's heart beat pleasurably. &&e
was a born coquette, and presently, at-
tired in the most delectable of white-
embroidered linen gowns, white shoes
and chiffon hat, she sauntered into the
back garden! He looked up. and his
glance lingered longingly. She feigned
jo be unconscious of his presence and
began picking some flowers. Eventu-
ally she gave a sidelong glance.
Blushing furiously at being detected in
his observation, he redoubled his at-
tentions to the automobile.
Cleo was not conventional.
"Won't you have a rose? ' she asked.
With eager haste and thanks he
crossed the boundary line to the two
gardens. „
"I think we should be neighborly.
»he said, with a little laugh.
"I quite agree with you," he replied,
decorously, "and since there is no one
present to introduce me, 1 will do my-
self the honor of presenting myself,
Carter Johns."
"My name is Cleo Rivers," she said,
with naivete. "Did you Just move in
last night? We heard the place had
been sold." .
"We are only partly moved, he
d, smiling. "I was anxious to see
„ my new car came through safely.
I think it is in good shape."
"It certainly looks so to me," she
answered, surveying the motor admir-
ingly.
"Do you like to ride?"
"Indeed I do!" she cried, enthusias-
tically. "There is no sweeter music
than the chugging of a machine."
He couldn't tell afterwards how it
really happened, or which one of them
first made the suggestion, but. any-
way, he had an engagement to take
her out in the automobile that night.
He was afraid she would think him
presumptuous, but she had seemed
pleased, and blushed as she told him
she would have to meet him at the
stable—that "they" would never con-
sent. He reassured her that he un-
derstood the situation, and that he
would meet her anywhere and bring
ber safely home.
She looked very elegant in her dark

room, "but he's §o much older than
I and has seen §o much of the world.
Oh, I love him now. but of course he
—oh, no!" she concluded with a sad
little' sigh.
The next afternoon as she was walk-
ing through the park, he passed her in
his bluish-white car. She bowed, and
he lifted his hat courteously and
passed on. She was disappointed that
he did not stop and ask her to ride,
since he was alone. Before he had
gone very far his car stopped, and he
got out to Investigate the cause. She
came on and up to him.
"Something wrong?" she asked,
shyly.
He turned with a pleased, surprised
air.
"Not much out of gear. I will ad-
Just it in a moment. May I take you
home?"
"Certainly," she replied, Joyously.
"Can't we ride out into the coun-
try?" he asked, entreatingly.
She thought they could, and when
near the close of the afternoon, they
came to a little country hotel, she ac-
cepted his invitation to stop for sup-
per.
"They think at home I am spending
the a'ternoon and dining with friends,
so I won't be missed," she explained.
"And we can have the evening, too?"
he asked, eagerly.
She assented and they rode on out
into the open country, where speed
limit laws were not enforced. They
came home more ftlowly and senti-
mentally.
"I wish," he said, as they were part-
ing in the garden that night.
"What?" she whispered, expectantly.
"I don't dare tell you yet, but I will
some day."
And Cleo in her little white bed that
night lay awake to live over and over
again the Joys of this beautiful and
secreted time.
They met chance-directed In many
places, and the evening flights in the
big car were uninterrupted until fate
in the shape of a settled rain preclud-
ed the carrying out of the usual pro-
gramme.
"There is a little summer house in
our garden," he said, wistfully, as she
came to the rear of the stable that
night to tell him how disappointed she
was. "Can't we have a little visit
there?" _ «

When he finished reading tbe let-
ter he went Into the bouse.
Presently ft district messenger
brought ft note to Miss Cleo Rivers
With trembling band» she opened and
r.ad: _ ,

SCENERY OF UNITED STATES.
Have you any idea of visiting the
far-famed lake regions of Italy or j tne t^e undeveloped riches
Switzerland the coming summer,. Are j tfce Jagt s[% montbs,
udverusing si>«ru ,
and industrial advantages of Okla-
homa and Indian Territory trough
the discussion in congress regarding
their admission as a state, said he
will in my opinion result In a ^reat
boom. Thousands of people all oyer
the United States, whose attention
was never before specially called to
the richness of Oklahoma, have been
you aware that among the mountains
of Idaho are lakes that experienced
travelers tell us far excel in scenic
grandeur and- picturesque beauty the
lakes of Europe, of whose charms
poets have sung for ages? The aver-
age American traveler seems blinded
by the enchantment of distance, and
yearns for the far-away hills and val-
leys of Europe while passing regions
that are their equal, and often their
superior, near at home.
The Alps, the Rhine and Lucerne
seem to ring in our ears with more en-
ticing magnetism than the Rockies, the
Hudson and Lake George, the Adiron-
dacks and the Columbia, but those
who are equally familiar with all are
free to declare their preference for
the American wonderlands, says the
Four-Track News. There is a greater
majesty in the Rockies than in the
mountains of Switzerland. The
natural beauty of the Hudson far ex-
cels thafc of the Rhine. What would
you think of the American student
who studied' Roman history to the
neglect the history of this coun-
try or give his whole atten-
tion to'the heroes of foreign lands?
The best educated man is the man who
knows his own country best. Let this
be our motto—America first, the world
afterward. European tourists are gen-
erally astonished that American globe-
trotters leave this land of superior
claims to brave the sea, and, at far
greater expense, search out the at-
tractions of foreign lands. See the
world if you can, but see America
first.

made awaie ui mc
of that land in the last six months,
and I look for an immense immigra-
..od to set in immediately.
•Oklahoma is big enough for all that
may come. There is room for the ag-
riculturist and the manufacturer. The
farmer can raise almost anything that
grows anywhere else in the counJr>'
and the manufacturer can locate his
mills adjacent to coal fields, wllile
at the same time his market will be
at his very door. The great advantage
made in cotton growing the past few
years is bound to be kept up with
the result that cotton mills are sure
to be located there in the not far
distant future.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Tulsa Will Vote on Public Parks and
Waterworks Bonds.
TULSA: The city council has called
a soecial election to vote bonds for
publnc parks and the building of a
city park. For parks $2o,000 was voted
upon and for a water system *100.000
The city will first attempt to purchase
the present water system recently ac-
quired by P. D. C. Ball, of St.
Dan Murphy, of Los Angeles and H.
P Anderson of Tulsa, and associates.
If it cannot be purchased the city
will construct its own plant and go
into competition with the Private
plant. With $25,444 the foundation
for the first extensive park system in
the Indian Territory will be es-
tablished. A large tract of land will
be purchased while several smaller
tracts inside the corporation limits
will be secured, all of which will be
improved extensively.
Penetrated His Brain.
GUTHRIE: Pearl Laseure, aged
.welve. son of Deputy Sheriff Laseure,
was fatally injured by the acciden-
tal discharge of a six-shooter with
which he and two neighbor boys were
playing, the bullet penetrating his
brain.
