By REX BEACH CHAPTER II Betty Durham was staring at Furlong with an apprehensive pucker between her brows. "Ain't that our luck, for a little bitty old bolt to ruin everything? Can you think of any way--T" "I can think of one way that won't cost much to try." "I don't want any strangers experi-mentin' around--" Maddox began; but the girl exclaimed sharply: "You've been experimenting for two weeks at a hundred dollars a day, haven't you? It's our well. Let Mr. Furlong have a go at It." The driller executed an exaggerated gesture of acquiescence. "Right you are, Betty! But if this feller puts It on the bum, don't blame me." Then to Ben he announced: "Help; yourself, pardner. You heard the boss." When Furlong had fully satisfied himself as to conditions he took off his coat and went to work. He knew of no fishing tool so designed ae to pick up an object so small and as easily movable as a six-inch bolt, there-lore he made one. He took a short length of steel casing of a diameter small enough to slip into the well, and in one end of this he cut teeth several Inches long. It was a labor that consumed time: he was still at It when Betty reappeared at the well about •j^t ^nd advised him that his supper was waiting. _________Moi On Good inate age. Her eyes were pale; her nose was hooked like the beak of a hawk; her lips were thin and set In avaricious lines. Immediately upon meeting Furlong she wanted to know whether he believed his experiment would succeed, how he proposed to go about it, how long it would take, and the like. Ben was noncommittal and he refused to raise her hopes. Before he had finished his meal he had convinced himself that the woman stood In some sort of dread of Tiller Maddox and that her fear of antagonizing him almost equaled her anxiety for CHILDREN of all ages ^ thrive on *?CROWN BRAND'! CORN SYRUP. They never tire of its delicious flavor and it really is so good for them--so give the children "CROWN BRAND" every day. - Leading physicians pronounce VCROWN BRAND" CORN SYRUP a most satisfactory carbohydrate to use as a milk modifier In the feeding of tiny infants and as an energy producing food for growing children. THE FAMOUS ENERGY FOOD MAKE YOUR LIVER Produce its bile Furlong's success. Ben wondered why. Another fact he discovered -- Betty and her aunt were not on the best of After supper, by the light of a gasoline torch, Furlong resumed his work the while Maddox vainly tried, with the new device which his employer had brought out from town, to grapple that obstinate piece of steel a fifth of a mile beneath his feet. But it was blind work, monotonous work, dispiriting work; time after time the clumsy fishing tool was raised and lowered, but its jaws refused to seize the troublesome bolt. It was a Job as hopeless and as, baffling as trying to pick up a pin with a pair of fire tongs attached to a string. The engineer of the rig watched Furlong's work with the interest of a fellow machinist, and of him the latter inquired finally: "Say! How come Mr. Durham to get killed?" "He was blowed up. It was when the Planet Company was getting ready to put down that well on the northeast corner. Maddox was workin' for the company then--movin' the rig onto the ground. A powder wagon came by an' the driver stopped to ask his way. You've seen them trucks-six hundred odd quarts of nitroglycerine in square cans all set in felt-lined racks to keep 'em from jarring. I alius been scared of 'em, but them rough roads like it's so much molasses they got. Old man Durham < went across to the road and give him directions--he stood there watchin' the wagon as it drove on. The driver was trottin' his horses, an' when he crossed the railroad track it let go. Jar set it off, I s'pose. Tiller says he saw it all, but he don't remember hearin' a sound or feelin' a shock of any sort. All he seen was a big biack cloud, an' when he looked for old man Durham he wasn't there. The fence was gone, "What happened to the driver?" "What d'you reckon happened? All the trace they ever found of him or the outfit was part of a hoss's leg hangin' on a telegraph cross-arm about a hundred yards up the grade. There was a hole thirty foot wide where the wagon had been and the railroad iron was corkscrewed for a quarter of a mile. They found quite a bit of Mr. Durham--enough to hold a funeral "They figgered some air current was responsible. Kind of a Godsend for Tiller, wasn't it?" "Not to be killed? Sure--" "Naw! To get in with the widder an' Betty. Lucky for them, too, that he took to lookin' out for 'em. If he makes this well they'll be movin' into one of them Dallas mansions with marble bedsteads." "Humph! He'll never made a well if he keeps dropping hardware in it. In my country a driller that careless would lose his job." "Tiller won't lose his job," the engineer asserted, positively. "He don't lose anything he goes after." In the course of time Furlong finished cutting the end of his steel casing into a series of teeth, and these teeth he then bent slightly inward. This done, he attached the device to a tool and lowered it into the hole. Even Betty Durham and her aunt Mary, who looked on with growing suspense, understood now how he proposed to pick up that bolt. He had shaped those tapering teeth so that they resembled the curving fingers of hand, and his delicate task was to ive the casing home against the steel-hard bottom of the well until those fingers closed, until he clinched them over the obstacle. It was a task less difficult than it sounds. (TO BE CONTINUED) Waists Longer, Skirts Snorter New Feather Hats In Form of White Hens or Black Ducks PARIS.--Longer waists and shorter skirts are the striking changes greeting newly arrived stylists and buyers viewing the latest collections in foremost Paris houses. The new feather hats take the form of white hens or black ducks with red beaks and tails in the air. Patou's new collection stresses the Moyen age in form-hugging bodices extending below the hips to meet short, pleated skirts just covering the knees. Masculine Note Many two-piece dresses and suits also follow this design. There is a pronounced masculine note in strictly tailored three-quarter jackets for day wear and a similar styling for evening A strong contrasting feminine note is seen in lingerie details for suits and dresses in frilled Jabots, ruffled vestees, lace-trimmed collars and cuffs. Evening materials are organdie, silk and dull crepes, stiff satin, tulle and printed crepes. Dainty LADY FINGERS It isn't very often we get a request for a recipe for Lady Fingers nowadays.

Pur salt a: British Maidens Will Be Taught Home Sciences Bill to Be Discussed In Parliament To Insure Good Cooks and Housekeepers No longer is British cookery to be the butt of facetious remarks from the other side of the Atlantic. Cooking in England is about to become an almost universal accomplishment. Princess Elizabeth has domestic science on her curriculum and recently sent a cake made and baked by herself to a Welsh family. And every little girl in the United Kingdom may be compelled to learn to shop, cook, wash, sew and iron as she is now made to study how to read and write. A bill to be seriously discussed in parliament during this season provides for this. The reason behind the bill is that a shortage of good cooks in their own homes is inspiring portly, dignified members of the House of Commons to drastic effort. Parliamentary interest has not stopped there. They have mapped out the course of those young women who want to take up housework as a paid career. Three classes of certificate are to be granted for proficiency in domestic science and should the holders go into service they are to be paid according lo their qualifications. Class "C" or lowest type of diploma school. week with room, board, laundry, and health and unemployment insurance, would be asked to consent to their taking further training at the times for "B" certificate. The subjects would include: Personal hygiene and physical exercises; cooking and everything related to it; housework; nursery work; laundry work; needlework (mending, dressmaking and so on); practical housewifery (such as tap repairs); dietetics and catering. Girl, 3, Knows All the Answers Maritime Prodigy Refuses To Be Stumped By Most Abstruse Questions Flung at Her In New York. In a quick, piping voice, Jean Kathleen Demers, 3-year-old prodigy of Tracadie, N.S., rattled off wisecracks and random facts from an apparently inexhaustible fund of knowledge at New York last week. "Just ask me anything you like," she said. "They call me the walking book of knowledge." She knew all the answers. With an air of boredom, as though impa-tie.nt for something hard, she replied glibly that Paramaribo is the Capital of Dutch Guiana, that Lake Michigan is the fifth largest lake in the world with an area of 22,460 square miles, that the buffer Slate between Russia and China is Mongolia, and that the Suez Canal was opened in 1869 and built by a French engi-ueed named Ferdinand de Lesseps. Walking Encyclopedia "That's spelled with a small'd' and a capital 'I,', she advised gravely, for the benefit of newsmen. She knew that Wocdrow Wilson drew up the Nine-Power Treaty, that the United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867--"for $7,200,000," she added gratuitously--and that the longest river in China is the Yangtse.
