A moment later he was gone. “Thirty-five,” where Buddy was | working, was only a few miles from , the Briskow ranch, therefore the | boy wa able to meet his sister at d drive her directly to the Range The ranch house seemed very mean, very insignificant to Allie, but she pped into one of her old idresses and prepared the Supper while Buddy straddled a kitchen air and chattered upon ten thou- jsand topics of mutual interest. | On the morning of Gray’s coming Allie rode with Buddy over to thity-five, It was a wretched, rainy day, and nothing is more bleak than a rainy day in a drilling camp. Work had been halted and the men were loafing in their bunk house. Brother and sister spent the impatient hours in the mess tent. Gray's trip from the railroad was more like a voyage than a motor journey, for the creek beds, usual- ly dry, were angry torrents, and the ‘dobe flats were quagmires through which his vehicle plowed hub deep; nevertheless he was fresh and alert when he arrived. After a buoyant greeting to Allie, he and Buddy in- spected the well, then he issued lorders for work to be resunied. | Word had gone forth that there was something doing on thirty-five, and from the chaparral emerged muddy motor cars bringing scouts, neighboring lease owners, and even the members of a near-by casing crew. Supper was a jumpy meal, and no- body had much. to say,. Allie Bris- kow least of all, She was silent, intense; she curtly refused Buddy’s offer to send her home, and when the meal was over she . followed Gray back to the derrick. Buddy Briskow was running the rig, and the dexterity with which he handled brake and control rod gave him pride. He had seated his sister on a bench out of the way, where she was protected from the drizzle, und he felt her eyes upon him, It gave him a sense of impor- tunce to have Allie watching him at such a crisis; he wished his par- ents were with her. He eased the brake and the mas- sive bailer slid into the casing as a heavy shell slips into the breech of a cannon. As he further released his pressure the cable began to pour turned his wet, grimy face and flashed a grin at Allie, She smiled back at him faintly. Some: light not as it should be, and he jerked’ his head back to attention. During that moment of inatten- tion the bailer had stuck. Perhaps five hundred feet below, friction had checked its plunge, and mean- while the . vélvet-rutning: drum, spinning at itsmaximum velocity by reason of the whirling bull wheel, was unreeling its cable down. upon the derrick platform. “Down it pour- ed in.

Nor did he take his eyes from his task until the drum had ceased revolving and the runaway bailer' hung motionless y the well. us They carried Gray to the bunk house, and his limbs hung loosely, his head lolled in a manner terrify- ing to Budy and his’ sister. But Gray was not dead, Buddy's blow “had well-nigh broken his neck, and he had suffered a futther in- jury to his head in falling; never theless, he responded to such medi- cal aid as they could supply, and in time he opened his eyes. When for_a second time he lapsed ‘into semiconsciousnéss, it was Allie Briskow who put his orders into ex- fecution. “You aint-doing any good standing @round staring at him and whispering, Bring -in that well, as fast as ever you can, and bring it in big. Now, get out and leave him to me.” Tt was late, that night whenihe well came in. It came with a rush and a roar, drenching the derrick with a geyser of muddy water and driving both crew and spectators out into the gloom. Up, up the column rose, spraying itself into mist, and from its iron throat issued a soi unlike that of any other phenoii non. Calvin Gray had recovered his senses sufficiently to understand the meaning of that uproar, and he tried to get up, but Allie held him down upon his bed. She was. still struggling with him when her brother burst into the house, shout- ing, “It’s a gasser, Mr. Gray! Biggest I ever. seen.” “Gas? the latter mumbled, indis- tinctly, “Isn't there any—oil?” His words were almost like a whisper because of the noise. “Not, yet. May be’ later. Sali she’s a vheller, ain't she? I'll bet she’s -makin’ twenty million feet=” “Gasser’s no good.” Can't tell yet. We gotta shut her down easy so she don't blow the easing out—run wild on us, under- stand?” Buddy was still breathless, but he plunged out the door and back into that sea of Sound. With a tragic intensity akin to wildness, Gray stared up into Allie Briskow's face. “Worthless, eh? And they told me ten thousand bar- rels.” He carried a shaking hand to his bandaged head and tried vainly to collect his wits, “What's mat- ter?” he queried, thickly. “Every- thing whirling—sick—” “You had an ticcident, but it’f all Tight; all right—No, no! Pleast lie still.” i “Running wild, eh? Tha’s what hurts my head so. Blown the cas- ing aut—Bad, isn’t it? Sometimes they run wild for weeks, years—ruin everything.” He tried again tise, then insisted, querulously: abto get oil in this well! I’ve got’ to! Last chance, Allie, Got to get ten thousand barrels!” “Please! You rfustn't—” Allie had her strong hands upon his shoul- ders; ‘she was arguing firmly but as gently as possible under the circum- stances, when something occurred so extraordinary, so unexpected, as to paralyze her. Of a sudden the in- terior .of the dim-lit, canvas-roofed shack was itluminaded as if by a searchlight, and she turned | head to see that the whole out- doors was visible and that the nigh itself had turned into day. With a cry that died weakly amid the chaos of sound beating over her, the girl ran to the windog and look- ed out. What she beheld was a nightmare scene, The well was It had exploded into flame, Allie tore her eyes away from the Spectacle finally. She turned back to ‘the bed, then she halted, for it was empty. The. door, still ajar frgm Buddy's headlong exit, inform- ed her whence her patient had gone, and she flew after him. She found him not half a dozen Paces away. In. fact, she stombled over his prostrate body, With 2 amazon’s strength, she gathered hi into her arms, then, staggered with him back to his couch, and as she Strained him to herself she loudly called his name.
