XXVI. In Dangerous Waters A subdued but continuous whisper- ing Irritated Calvin Gray, When it} persisted, minute after minute, he| opened his eyes, asking himself, dully, why it was that peeple couldn't let & fellow sleep. | Allegheny Briskow appeared out of | nowhere and laid & soothing hand | upon his brow. When she saw the | 1ight of sanity in his eyes, her face | brightenad and she cried, eagerly: “You're coming around al! right, aren't you? You mustn't talk. Everything {s all right—all right, honestly. I'll tell vou everything, but just you rest now until Buddy comes." There was magnetism to the girl's touch and comfort in her volee, It was some time later that Gray opened his eyes and spoke in a more natural voice, saying: “How do I hap- pen to be here in your house, Allie?" “We brought you over at daylight. Buddy's gone for a doctor, hut he'll be back.” The girl averted her face quickly and moved toward the window. “He ought to be at the well—put- ting it out. God! What a sight! 1 see it yet “The well is out!” Allie returned and seated herself beside the bed “You probably won't understand it or belteve {t—TI can scarcely believe [t myself, for it's a miracle. All the same, it is out, shut in, and not much | damage done, You're not ruined, either, for Buldy says they're short of fuel here, and a gasser this size s worth a good deal—'most as much as a fair ofl well.” “How can it be shut in? Tt was| blazing, roaring—a tower of flame, The derrick itself was going—'" “I know, but the strangest thing—" Allle spoke breathlessly. ‘“Let me do the talking, please. You remember the drill stems were standing over in one corner? Well, the fire drove everybody off, of course; there was no facing it, and they thought sure they'd have a job—have to send for boilers and smother it down with steam, maybe, or tunnel under, or something—work for days, maybe weeks, and spend a fortune. Any- Fow ,they wer2 in a panic, but when the derrick went down what do you think?

T recall a lot of things, but they're pretty well confused.” Allle made known the nature of the accident resulting In Gray's in- jury, and he nodded his understand- ing. “8p Buddy eaved my life!” He smiled. “Great boy, Buddy! T know better than to mix it with him again—he learns quickly.” “'Oh, it was terrible!

Eleep was out of the question, anyhow, amid such an uproar.
