She halted her labors for a second time to scan a brief note that had arrived & few moments before and ran as follows: Dear Mrs. IPulton——I am not really such a bad sort as you consider me, and I'm genuinely interested in that boy of yours, Let's cry quits and have a serious talk about him and— perhaps other things.

The Game of Wits A new strike in one of the western countries had become public, and a band-new oil excitement was born overnight. Trains were crowded, roads were jammed with racing auto- mobiles; in the neighborhood of the new well ensued scenes of duplicate those of other pools, For the first week or two there was a frenzy of buying and selling, a speculation in oll acreage and town lots, The Nelsons, of-course, were early on the ground, for in spite of the father's contention that they could ill acord, at the moment, to tie up more money in unproductive prop, erties, the son had argued that they must have ‘‘protection,” and his ar- guments had prevailed Now, ecddly enough, this new oil discovery did not develop as had been expected——in fact, the excitement died | out quickly-—and when Henry Nelson undertook to dispose of his holdings he was faced by a heavy loss, for Gray was offering adjoining acreage at low prices. Following this unhappy experience, the scandal about the Jackson well became public-—the Atlantic Company baving at last located the leak in its pipe line—and the whole Red River “Me?" | district enjoyed a great laugh. “Isn't the—sort of life you are Hv-| Miss Parker, of course, was deeply ing becoming a bit tiresome?

I'd enjoy giving the boy a hand up, but—he is| more than I'd care to tackle alone.” “There's Mallow to help you. He'd be a refining influence.” The mother’s lip curled. “How about you?"
