IMItor World: Slnco tho controversy hnn been

dering why a minister should bo privileged
to call another person a liar.
It seomn to mu that when a minister of tho

use of Hiiuh eplthuts against another man, ho
should expect It to bo resented most strenuously
I havo no doubt had Mr. Crum conducted
himself as tho pcoplo naturally expect a min

hour to congratulate The World un Its enter
prise anil publlo splritedness in bringing to
Tulsa, VJdgar A. Guest, and allowing tho people
of Tulmi nn opportunity to tee, nnd hear such
a talented follow.
To my mind, Guest Is ono of the most promi
nent men in America. Thoso who heard him
could not help hut gain an Inspiration, for he
-knows life and pictures It ns all of us fee It,
However, wo are not all glfled as Guest Is.
I think It shows a fine spirit for Tho World
to bring such a man hero and then charge noth

express my own sentiments, which however, I
believe nrn the sentiment ut hundreds of other
citizens of Tulsa.

"Thero's moro'n ono kind of sick
ness, Gorry. Ain't you over learned
that? Perhaps It don't coma In
books, but thero's a kind of sickness
of the mind and heart, too, I guess,
what Is worse than all tho fevers

thero ain't no ono going to doctor

"You mean that ltobcrt's mind ts

they ought not to have, that they

her Just ns I loft thn store, and wo
walked along together, Sho told me
what sho was going to havo for din

mighty good to me. sho told mo to
pome along and 'have somo If I
could. I know you wouldn't miss

It 'would bo different If you hao

pany here so I trotted right along
and had a good dinner, topped off
with a delicious applo pie nnd ren
coffee. Tho only part 1 didn't llko
was that I couldn't bring you
some."
That last snntenco dissipated my
feeling of Jealousy I might havo hnd
ho had thought of me.
"Never mind dear. I don't carw
us much for apple plo ns you do,
nnd Btrong coffeo keeps me awake."
Ono evening when Itobert nnd I
hnd been sitting quietly reading for
somo time, ho surprised mo hy an
exclamation of annoyance.
"What's tho matter dear? I
thought you
my book aside.
"I don't know what alls me Gerry,
I can't keep my mind fixed on my
work. They boosted Glen's nalary
today and never said a word to mu,
although I really camo first In llnu

"Hut you were no enthusiastic
when wo wore first engaged, so sure
you wero going to get a big advance
soon." Someway tho disappoint
ment I felt showed in my voice, al
though I had tried not to let itobcrt
reallzo I wns disappointed,
"I know, nnd well, Gerry, I
guess some folks need something to
make them work, and perhaps I'mn
that kind. Kver since your lane
ralso I keep thinking you earn moro
than I do, nnd that you can have
what you want without my help,
and It seems to tnko all my ambition
away. It's silly I know, but well
1 mil going to get over It someway,
but 1 don't Just know how."
"I should say you wero silly!
Knowing I earn such a good salary
should make you moro ambitious.
".Men do qulto a lot," sho re
turned then changed tho subject.
Wo often had little chats during tho

And always Mary would bring In
somethlntr about a homo or Ilobori.
Now oven though I was nblo to
