Mr. Roswell, president of the bank where Gray had first made himself kpown, was a shrewd, forceful man who had attained a position in busi- ness and arrived at a time of life when he could well afford to indulge his likes and dislikes. Roswell had liked Gray upon their first meeting, and that liking had deepened. Owing to that fact, he had neglected to secura a report upon him, assuring himself that there was always time for such formalities. He | was cordial today when Gray strode | into his office bringing Gus Briskow | with him. “ | The banker listened with interest| to what he was told, then he studied the map that Briskow spread upon his desk showing the location of his| own and other near-by wells. | “That looks lilke a sure thing' | Roswall sald, finally, “As sure as anything in ofl can be. What is on your mind?"” “1'd like to get the opinion of the hank's oil expert,” Gray told him. Thia was a matter easily disposed of; the expert was summoned and he rendered a prompt opinfon. He| knew the property; he considered it a cheap lease at a thousand dollars| ap acre, It was proven stuff and| within thirty days it would probably treble in value. When he had gone, the banker smiled. | “Well, Gray,” sald he, “I knew/ you'd land something good. You're & hustler. You'll make a fortune out| of that land.” | Gray handed him Gus' Briskow's option, and the assignment thereof, the ink upon which was scarcely dry. ‘“There's the joker, It expires tomorrow night and—it will go to the Nelsons. They've double-crossed | Mr. Briskow.” | ‘“"Then don't let them get with it.
