"The oll ain't actually vis ible, but it will be if, when, and as, Henry Nelson gets ready to buy it.” “Easy enough to pour ofl into a water well, I suppose, but that wouldn't fool a child. As for salting running water, a creek—show me.” “There's a lot for you to learn in this business, Mallow. The point Is, can we lay Nelson against a bunch of acreage like that?" “You could lay me against it it it looks like you say it does," McWade declared. * “This bootiegger, being alt dead and non compost mentis, would help put {t over with a man like Nelson; he'd set him in a draught while ho was signing the option. I'll guaran- tee the seepage to last for a month, even if he has the well bailed out every day, and the creek will carry ofl for half a mile.” “Would your one-lunged friend know how to play in?” “Would he? It was his Idea, and all that kept us off of ft last year was the fact that the oll would have to be hauled about 30 miles, and we didn't have the price between us to hire @ truck." For some time. the trio discussed the various angles of Stoner’s propo- sition, endeavoring if possible to de. “In a wa vise some natural way of intriguing | the interest of Henry Nelson. On this score McWade had fewer ap- prehensions than did his companions, his contention being that {t mattered not how the matter was brought to the banker’s attention so long as the property would stand investigation. Nelson was bound to be suspicious, anyhow, and a sale depended entirely upon the character of the oi] show- ing. McWade’s coolness toward the enterprise, it transpired, was occa- sioned not by a loftier sense of recti tude than his associates displayed, but by lingering doubts as to the) profits involved. ‘Not until Brick declared that his tubercular friend would accede to any ararngement he saw fit to make did the junior partner fall in with the proposal. “If {t's a fair, square 6 the oll oozing out from | 19% FLOWING ~~ OLD: tae ROX BEACH COPYRIGNT Inne By PRINTED By AAR ANUEMENT WOFTH MUTROPOLITAM MiIMmAbER DPRVICE, wwe CHAPTER XVII Ma B n in spied uy tak ow entment th You Miz’ then I kinda | “Who d'y know anybody, Nobody You ain't those fairies and things. |. “It ain't anybod: | 1 do or what I do, sullen exasperation. ing anybody to about | *s busines Ma dec }mother flamed into open rebetiion. mind pdie my ‘ain e¢ I go an’ }do an’ I don’t bother nobo¢ | guess wo got enough mo }can do things I want to, as | |I don't bother nobody.” | “Why don’ you take Pa slong?

It is surprising! how stuff accumulates in a moun-| tain fastness. But she managed the retreat with conspicuots abil- ity.

They were talking Bo much and so loud, that Nancy had to speak three times before they heard her, “Did wo seo a ragdoll? Well, I should say not," replied Mister Foot. ball to Nancy's question, “But you might ask the baseball, He's more interested in rags than wo are, for they say Ire's stuffed with rags or strings or something like that, We are filled with alr." “Thank you,” said the Twins po- litely, hurrying off and catching up with the baseball, ‘Nope,” sald Mister Baseball. “Didn't seo her.
