That is the first com. pliment I ever paid you, Henry.” “T've paid you enough. And I do believe in you, ‘Bob,’ but I'm not the flattering kind. He's a great ladies’ man. I wonder if he is foing to make me jealous."" “You? Jealous? Coming from Wichita’s most emotionless banker, from the cold county Croesus, that speech is almost a—a declaration.” Miss Parker laughed frankly. “Why, Henry! My haughty little nose is turning up—I can feel it. But, also! it proves your insincerity, If you bad faith in my judgment You'd pick up this snap.” With some hesitation the man sald: “We're in deep, ‘Bob.’ Awful- ly deep! And things haven't gone as well as they should, lately. It’s Yemporary, of course, but it would require an extraordinary effort at this time. to take on anything new. That's the worst of this oil game, it takes so much money to protect your holdings. It doesn’t pay to Prospect land for the benefit of your neighbor; the risks are too great. Gray has been pretty at- tentive to you, hasn't he?” “That's a part of the man; he fs attentive to everybody. I hi re- celved more candy and flowers and delightful little surprises than in all my short, neglected life.” “I didn’t know you like candy.” _,.1 don't. But I adore getting it. ‘The thought counts.

Candy and roses and yeh low canaries, too. But"—the speak. er rose, briskly—"I didn’t come here to talk about them; I came here to you an oil well. Sorry you n't take it.” When she had gone Nelson sat in a frowning study for some time. So, it was not all a bad dream. What could be Gray's object in buy ing ‘cage adjoining his? Was it faith in his, Nelson's, judgment, a desire to ride success on th tall of his enemy's kite, did mean a war of offsets, drilling operations the instant a well came int More likely the latter, if the maniac really meant what ho had said. That promised to be an ex. pensive and a h jous undertak ing on Gray's part; that was play ing the game on a scale too big for the fellow’s limited resources, and yet—it might be well to study the maps, Yes, it was like Gray's ef frontery to pay deliberate court t Bob" Parker, knowing his riva feelings toward the girl. Another insult! The upstart certainly po sessed an uncanny dexterity in pricking armor joints, But what if Gray were in earnest? “Bob” had become a wonderfully desirable creature, she was the most attrac: tive girl In Wichita Falls— It was a thought that had not previously presented Itself to Henry Nelson, and it disturbed him now, He was glad, indeed, that he sent to Ranger for that field man. In and around the office of Meo- Wade & Stoner these were busy days, what with a couple of new wildcat promotions and a well going down on semt-proven ground —that lease which cornered into the Nelson holdings, and to which Ston. er had called attention, It had been easy to sell stock in the latter enterprise, and now the deeper went the hole, the higher rose the hopes of the promoters. Stoner himself was directing operations, and ho had named the well “Avenger Number) | One. Today he and his partner had been listening to Mallow, who con. cluded an earnest discourse with these words: “Nelson and her are pardners in one deal and he's stuck on her, anybody can put it over, she’s the one.” “If he buys that well it ‘ll be the biggest laugh this town ever had,” McWade declared. “Buy it? A hundred and fifty barrels in the heart of settled pro- duction for $75,.00? I bet he'll buy it” ADVENTURES OF é THE TWINS “Did you see Ruby Joan, my rag doll?” asked Nancy Puff! Puff!

Coming as it did, vacuum packed coffee proved a boon to the miners, for whatever the hardships of the trail, they were always assured of coffee as fresh and flavory as when at home.
