Pm off for Dallas tonight.” “What for?” Tom was dismayed by such a prompt manifestation of energy. “EH have to tell you" Barbara perched herself upon her father’s desk and began speaking with a note voice. “T heard Henry Nelson was in.town, so T wen to the bank this morning to see him.

Well that wretched man turned all colors when I accused him, and tried to ‘shush’ me. He said I mustn't talk about: things I.knew' nothing abqut— somebody diight overhear me: *He declared the outfit he was working for were no, good and wouldn’t pay a driller a bonus if he made a well for them, He was sick of making other people rich and getting nothing for himself. It was time the drilling crews shared in the profits. He'd see that nobody froze him out again if he had to spoil the hole. He wound up by denying everything, and I pretended to swal-, low it but when he had gone I went over my maps and located the lease where he’s drilling. Three of the ad- joining tracts are owned by the big eqmpanies, so that climinated them, but the twenty to the west belongs to Knute Hoagluzd.

J was duly impressed. I asked him to call this evening, for I did so wish to have him teach me what little I was cap- able of learning. But he couldn't come, because he had been called to Dallas, unexpectedly. That was my cue. In my most swectly girlish ' t w he was fidgety. running a had amus {manner I said: “Oh, indeed! Dotyou expect to see Knute Hoaglund while you're there?” Two hectic spo:s had come into “Bobs” cheeks during this recital; she was teetering upon the desk now like a nodding Japanese doll, and her blue eyes were dancing, “I heard Old Bell’s chair creak and I saw him shoot a quick glance at Henry. Henry admitted casual- ly, that he might drop in’ on Knute, why? “You'll be wasting time,’ 1 told him, even more sweetly, ‘for dad and I have that twenty west of Burk-} burnett.” “Well! You'd have thought I had stuck a hatpin into Bell. And Henry's mouth actually dropped open.” “But—we ain't even got an option! It takes money to lease close-in stuff.” Tom was bewildered. “Of course. And they realized that, or Bell did, as soon as he'd had time to collect himself. But it was too late then; he betrayed him- self and he knew it.” “Bob” laughed again, a bit hys- terically. ‘That's about all, dad.

Gratefully he basked in his motoriety, meanwhile continuing assiduously to cultivate the moneyed men of Dallas, He was relieved one day to re- coive a telegram from Gus Briskow asking him to meet Ma and Allie at the evening train and “get them a hote}.” He managed to secure a good suit at the Ajax, and it was copyRient rate By ‘PRINTED By ARRANELMEUT WrTH HETROPOL 80? mex deacw IVAN REBUAAPER SERVICE, MW youn with genuinely pleasurable anti¢ipa- most| tion that he drove to the station. smote him, how sue ht of the new arrivals, Ma Briskow resembled nothing so gpuch as one of those hideous “crayon en- largements” he had seen in farm- houses—atrocities of an art long dead. If the mother’s appearance was un- usual, the daughter's was startling, what with her size and the ari latitude of color she had induiged hevself in. Allegheny’s — get-up screamed, They stronger these two. Di were cnough to daunt man than Calvin Gray, He could well imagine the sensation he and they would creite in the lobby of the moiish Ajax. But his fost surprise was succeeded by a gentle pity, for Ma Briskow greeted him rapturously, and in Allegheny’s somber eyes, he detected a look of mingled suitebins and defiance. Enthusi, took charge of Ma’s lunch weket; a st Allie’s mutered protest he despoiled her of her bilious, near- leather suiteace. Allie answered his phone call about eight o'clock the next morn: ing. “Ready for breakfast?” he — in- quired, “Why, we ct at told hin in some been ridin’ “Indeed! checks, ch? gor" dh, one of the asto since then.” Putting roses in Wits whom your elevator men.” but" Gray sputtered, deeply shocked. “Wh Bris they're negroe: th ger!

The mother nodded a bit hand Smil- aguely. “That's kind of like Pa talks.

I s’pose her things’ll eat up the best part of a hundred dol- lars, won't they?” The speaker's look of worried inguiry bespoke a lifetime of habitual econom: “We're not going to buy what you need, but what you want. You're going to have just as many pretty things as Allie.” Mrs. Briskow gasped, she Polled her eyes and fanned herself; she ap- pealed to Allegheny, but it was ¢ dent that the latter had kept assume that Very well.

It'll take all Pa can afford and then suse to make us look like other peor Gray determined that the girl should not be disappointed if he could help it, so he went dircetly to the head saleswoman of the first store, and asked her to assume the role of counselor where circumstance compelled him to relinquish it. Al- though the woman agreed to his r quest he found before long that his trust in her had been misplaced. Not only did she threaten to take ade vantage of her customer's ignoranve, but also, to Gray's anger, she dis played a poorly veiled contempt for and amusement at his charges, For once in h& life Calvin Gray was at a lov, and knowledge of that fact caused him to chew savagely at his cigars Engaged thus, he became aware of a stranger who looked on at\the pitiqal comedy without amuse: ment. She was a pretty thing. Gray started at her openty and his scowl vanished. When she “moved away, he made a sudden decision, excuse: himself and followed her, He was gratified at the manne? in which she accepted his breathless apology for speaking to’ her. “You can save the reason of a disd tracted man and add to the haypi- ness of two poor, bewildered women, if you wil},” he concluded, e: “It isn’t a funyy- situation tragic.” & “What do you :wish me to d the girl inquired. “It's a lot to ask, I .know, ‘but won't you help them buy the things they need and save them from fur- ther humiliation at the hands of these highbrow elerks and lowbrow customers?
