That was, no doubt, because of his smile. He informed her that he had been«raised in the Pennsylâ€" vania fields and was a good, practical wil man. This was a rathor betterâ€"looking place than the average Texag homeâ€" stead, and when he knocked at the kitchen door a girl appeared who was very much betterâ€"looking than the average Texas homestcader.

"He‘s tried everything anyâ€" body has told him to try. Who knows? Maybe you can do it." When Ben had finished eating he said: "Maybe I can give this driller of yours some help. I‘ve worked on a good many fishing jobs. D‘you think he‘d let me try?" lay in completing the new well might therefore result in ruin to the owner.

He inferred, however, that the royaltiecs from the first well were dwindling at an alarmâ€" ing rate and that any considerable deâ€" "Maddox drilled the well on the lot we leased, and after Uncle Joe was killed he quit the company and sort of took charge of things for Aunt Mary. It wasn‘t a big well, but the royalty is enough to pay for this one. I won‘t cook any more ham and eggs, so you‘d better make the most of these. Yes, and you‘d better come and get them; they‘re done." Miss Durham set a plate on the table and Furiong drew up his chair. None Too Cordial With the curiosity natural to his calling, the visitor inquired more speâ€" cifically about the nature of the misâ€" hap that had halted Maddox‘s progâ€" "When the first oil talk commenced we‘d of been glad to get the farm drilled on most any kind of royalty, but nobody would lease it. When they finally got ready, Aunt Mary wanted a bonusâ€"two bits an acreâ€" _and she wouldn‘t listen to Uncle Joe‘s arguments. By and bye they offered two bits, but by that time she wantâ€" ed a dollar. Then the companies got together, or the boom kind of petered out, or something, and it began to look as if Uncle Joe would be lucky to make any kind of a deal. He finally laid his ears back and leased a small block. Then he up and got killed." "That‘s too bad." "It was an accident. A powder wagâ€" on let go." The speaker‘s face grew wistfu!, she stared out across the arid countryside for a moment or two. "Uncle Joe loved me, but â€" Aunt Mary‘s his second wife; we‘re not really kinsfolks. It might just as well have been Maddox who got killed; he was as close to the wagon as Unâ€" cle Joc, and yet he wasn‘t touched. Funny, too, because he‘s always been afraid of the stuff and has a hunch he‘ll be blown up. All you have to say to him is ‘powder‘ andâ€"" "How‘d your aunt come to put down this new well?" The speaker put on her sunbonnet "Gee!" The visitor shook his head. "That‘s running somebody in debt." "Sure! It‘s worth a lot of money. That well over yonder"â€"fork in hand, Miss Durham indicated a derrick not far awayâ€""belongs to us." A Fishing Job From where he sat Furlong could see that the timbers of the tower were still bright and unstained, thus adverâ€" tising the melancholy fact that the well itself was not a producer, so he inquired : "What‘s wrong with it? Dry? "Dry nothing! They‘re not down yet. They‘ve got a fishing jobâ€"been at it for a couple of weeks." "Funny, you cooking for a tramp driller like me and your aunt owning acreage like this," Ben remarked. "Isn‘t this land on the structure?" There being no chores to do, Ben sat in the kitchen and. chatted with the girl while she cooked something for him, and in the course of their conversation he learned that her name was Betty Durham, that her parents were dead, and that the farm belonged to her aunt, with whom she had lived ever since she was a little girl. The aunt had gone to Opportunity in the family flivver. By REX BEACH A London columnist, discussing the child, said precocity in chess is no new thing. "Most of the famous playâ€" ers began playing as children," he wrote. "It is curious that only in chess, music and mathematics are true infant prodigies foundâ€"and still more curious that so many eminent musicians, from Philidor in the 18th century, have been brilliant chess players." P For the last two years she has been champion of the open chess tournaâ€" ment for girls of all nationalities unâ€" der 21 years. She started playing chess seriously when she was six years old and her mother says she took to the game as easily as most children master tiddleyâ€"winks. She likes the company of grownâ€" ups rather than children and thinks "a lot of games you have to play at parties are silly." She doesn‘t like party frocks, because "you usually catch cold and have to have medicine and doctors." She met Dr, Alexander Alekhine, the world champion, in a tournament at Twickenham, England, and while he defeated her he said afterwards she was a genius and caused him a lot of trouble. Whiskers and lines of wisdom alâ€" ways went with the popular concepâ€" tion of topflight chess players until dimpled Elaine Saunders, age 12, came along. World‘s Champion Who Defeated Her at the Game Declares ‘Teen Age Girl Is Chess Genius "You can drive it into the wall." "Oh, you can, can you? We‘re into a stratter of iron pyrites an‘ the rock‘s dam‘ near as hard as the bolt. It‘s much as ever a tool will cut it at all. That bolt just shifts around in the bottom of the hole like it was in a steel sup, an‘ it‘s too small to grapple. I s‘pose we could get holt of it with some fancy kind of a magnet it we could get holt of some fancy kind of a magnet that would get holt of it." Again Maddox grinned. hole A Bit of Experimenting Maddox grinned. "That‘s what we been tryin‘ to do, but it‘s tempered harder than the bit. It dulls every tool we use and all we been doin‘ for two weeks is sharpen stee}." "Can‘t you drill past it?" "How you goin‘ to sidetrack a sixâ€" inch bolt loose in the bottom of a ’ Tiller Maddox was a swarthy man _of about thirtyâ€"five; his eyes were bold and black and set close together. He greeted the Durham girl with an easy familiarity, a suggestion of proâ€" prietorship that gave the visitor cause for thought, but towards Furlong he was none too cordial and when Betty explained the reason for the latter‘s «presence Maddox frowned. ‘‘That‘s a new one," Ben admitted. ‘‘Why don‘t you drill it out, pound it to pieces?" "Sure! A sixâ€"inch steel bolt. worked loose and dropped out of tool." # "I‘ve been paid for any help I can give you," Furlong deciared. "Probâ€" ably I can‘t do anything, but so far I don‘t even know what‘s wrong. Do you mind telling me?" "We‘ve got a bolt in the hole." "A bolt?" Impatiently Miss Durham exclaimed, "What‘s the difference how much he charges if he can doâ€"" * «Not much," Ben confessed, "but I‘ve had some luck." "Oh, I‘ve had plenty of luck, myâ€" self‘" Maddox asserted. "But I never had any good luck lettin‘ strangers monkey with my work. If you jim up the well, I take the blame." "I won‘t jim anything." * "What‘ll you charse for this here miracle of yours?" "Another wise guy, ch? Every ropeâ€" choker in ten miles has been tryin‘ to show us how smart he is. What d‘you know about fishin‘, stranger?" and together she and Furlong went across the valley to the well. BUILO UP a+ She‘s a Prodigy (To be continued) bolt. It Mrs. Franklin D.

So the unconcerned male isn‘t as unconcerned as he would have us beâ€" lieve. All his pretended inditicrence to looks and his mumbling atout "keeping fit" is just a coverup for his need of the reassurance that womâ€" en admit good looks give. If we must face you with the figâ€" ures, they are $21.65 for the average man and only a trifle more, $26.95, for the average woman. At last we‘ll have to acknowledge the fact that men are uncertain croaâ€" tures, as terrified of the years as we are oursclves. And almost as desperâ€" ate in the attempt to exchange money for youth and attractiveness. Anxious to Look Best The proof that man is anxious to look his best and as young as he can comes from the group of men who make other men beautiful â€" scalp specialists and such. They tattled in round figures and the disillusioning truth is that Mr. Man spends almost as much in a year on beauty as the little woman spends. Another feminine illusion has been shattered. It was interesting while it lasted, but we women will have to stop thinking of men as selfâ€"confident, selfâ€"satisfied, and unconcorned, writes Ruth Millett. soon brought relief."

The moxt step is to hold the vial yourself, first in the hand, then in your mouth. The humâ€" mer will follow its sweet, and may even come to prefer your offeringt to that of the fowers, The hummer‘s bill is sharp and slightly curved, the better to dip into flowers, shielding the tongue through which the drops of nectar are sipped. We have been on what one might call "friendly" terms with a hummingâ€" bird for several years. He has learned to ignore us as he seeks the nectar from our flowers. Indeed, he has even come into the house to sip of a homeâ€" made sweet we prepare for him. He lets us help to provide his nesting maâ€" terials, but we know very little about him and his family.
