The town bec point, a vast concentration eamp for supplies, and amid its erish ae- | tivity there was no rest, no Sundays or holldays, This was about the state of affairs that Calvin Gray found on the morn ing of his arrival, He and Mallow Yad managed to secure o I'ullman section on the night train from Dallas, From the first Mallow had laid him- s¢lf ont to he entertaining and help- ful, and Gray obligingly permitted Lim to have his way.

She was singing in a thin, | nasal, uncultivated voice. Evidently they were the Iiriskow “help,” thereforc Giray made his prea- ence known and inquired for the master or mistress of the place. The elder woman turned. exposing | a shrewd, benevelent face, and after a moment of appraisal said, “I'm Miz' Briskow."” “Indeed!" The visitor smiled his best and announced the nature of his errand. The women regarded #ilently, their facial expr den beneath their bonncts: mother exposed her countenance second time, and sald, “Mister, this is Allegheny, our girl."” Miss Allegheny Biriskow lifted her head, nodded shortly and stared over the hoe handle at Gray. Her gaze was one of frank curiosity, and he returned it in kind, for he had never beheld a creature like her. The mother abandoned her wiped her hands upon her skirt, and | said, with genuine hospitality: “Come into the house and rest yourself. and Buddy'll be home at dinner time.'" There were three rooms to the Bris- kow residence, bedrooms all, with a gemi-detached ramshackle, white- washed kitchen at the rear and sepa- yated from the main house by a nar- yow “gallery.” Into the front cham- ber, which evidently did scrvice al as a parlor, Mrs. Rriskow led the way. Ny now she was in quite a flutter of excitement. [for the guest she drew | forth the one rocking chair, a p contraption, the rockers were held upon a sort of stont spiral springs. Tts back were of cheap carpct material | stretched over a lacquered frame, and these she hastily dusted with her apron: then she herself upon | the edge of the bed and beamed ex- pectantly.

Leaving Allie to entertain the guest, she hurried out, and the sound of splitting kindling, the clat- ter of stove lids, the rattle of utensils came from the kitchen. Gray retired to the patent rocker, Miss Briskow settied herself upon a straight-backed chair and folded her capable hands in her lap; an oppres- sive silence fell upon the room. Having exhausted the usual common- | place topics in the course of a mono- |logue that induced no reaction what- | ever, Gray voiced a perfectly natural |remark about the wonder of sudden riches. He was, in a way, thinking |aloud of the changes wrought in drab lives like the Briskows' by the dis- | covery of oil. He was surprised when | Allegheny responded: | “Ma and me stand it all right, but |it's an awful strain on Pa,” said she. “Indeed ?"" The girl nodded. nutty notions."” Gray endeavored to learn the na- ture of Pa's recently acqnired eccen- tricities, but Allle was flushing and paling as a result of her sudden ex- cursion into the audible. Eventually ! she trembled upon the verge of speech once more, then she took another| desperate plunge. “He says folks are going to laugh at vs or with us, and—and rich pen-t ple have got to aet rich. They got| to be elegant.” She laughed loudly, ! abruptly, and the explosive nature of the sound startled her as greatly as | |it did her hearer. ‘“He's got to get somebody to teach Buddy and me how to behave.'"
