I'm off for Dallas tonight,” “What for?" Tom was dismayed | by such a prompt manifestation of | energy. | “I'lll have to tell you—" Barbara | perched herself upon her father's| desk and began apeaking with a note | of excitement in her voice., “I heard | Henry Nelson was in town, so I went to the bank this morning to see him. He's sugh a blg man In the ofl busi- ness I thought he might help me, He was there, but in conference with his father and another man, There were several people walting, so 1 sat down, When the man they were talking to came out, it was Pete, that driller who put down the first well for us. He was glad to see me, and we had quite a talk, but I no- tloed he was fildgety. He sald he was runaing a rig over near ‘Burk,’ and had a fishing job on his hand With all the excitement and every:. body running double ‘towers’ and try- ing to beat the other fellow down to the sand, it struck me as queer that @& contract driller llke Pete would be here In Wichita in conference with Bell and Henry Nelson, when he ought to be out on the lease fishing for a lost bite. I told him I'd bet ke had a showing of oil and was try- ing to borrow money to buy the offset or to get the Nelsons to buy it and carry him for an interest. Well, that wretched man turned all colors when I accused him, and trled to ‘shush’ me. He sald I mustn't talk about things I knew nothing about— somebody might 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. Pl He'd see that nobody froze him out again if he had to spoll the hole, He wound up by denying everything, anc I pretended to swallow it, but when he had gone I went over my maps and located the lease where he's drilling. Three of the adjolning tracts are owned by the big com- panies, so that ellminated them, but the twenty to the west belongs to Knute Hoaglund. Henry was glad to see me when my turn came to go in, and—I didn't forget to call him ‘Colonel,’ and that pleased both him and Bell Then I told them that I proposed to become a rich and suc- cessful oil operator and wanted their advice how to begin. Old Bell was amused, but Henry was more diplo- matic. He tried to convince me that the oil game is altogether a man's business and that no woman could suoceed at it. ‘It is a contest of wits,’ he explained. I was duly impressed. ~ asked him to call this evening, for 1 did so wish to have him teach me what little I was capable of learning. But he couldn't come, because he had been called to Dallas, unexpectedly. That was my cue. In my most sweetly girlish manner I sald: "Oh, indeed! Do you expect to see Knute Hoaglund while you're there?"” Two hectic spots had come into “Bob's” cheeks during this recital; she was teetering upon the desk now ke a nodding Japanese doll, and her blue eyes were dancing. i THE STORY Glood!" ving poor And now 1'd of champagne that the ne Blue Ribbon Potato Salad Potato < D MAYONNAISE N —— High Grade Repairing and Remodeling HUDSON FUR SHOP | 13 Franklin Sq. — Tel. 770 \ X PEace S EREE, M roae T AR B time' 1 ¢t lad an Hurk be him, even m I have that twenty west hurnett We You'd | stuek & hatpin into Tel h aet wasting sweetly have thought 1 had And Henry's y dropped open,” n got an close-ir Ul—We Aln't eve It takes optien! | stuff," a8 he they rea | | | IF THE MOTHER'S APPEAR- | ANCE WAS UNUSUAL, THE | DAUGHTER' WAS BTARTLING, | that, or Bell dia, as soon as he'd had time to collect himeelf.
