He was very dusty and quite hungry 'when at last he stopped in at the Durham House. This was a rather better -looking place than the average Texas home- stead, and when he knocked at the kitchen door a girl appeared who was very much better -looking than the av- erage Texas homesteader, She was, in fact, a very pretty girl She readily fetched, lien a drink of water, .and while he rested she talked to him. That was, no doubt, because of his smile. He informed her that he had been raised in the Pennsylvan- ia fields and was a good, practical oil man. 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 thatthe farm belong- ed to her aunt, with whom she had lived ever since she was a little girt The aunt had gone to Opportunity in the family flivver. "Funny, you cooking for a tramp -driller like nee and your aunt owning acreage like this," Ben remarked. "Isn't this land on the acreage?" "Sure! It's worth a lot of money. "Why don't you drill it out, pound That well over yonder"—fork in hand, it to pieces?" Miss Durham indicated a derrick not "You've been experimenting n for two o far away—"belongs to •us." weeks at a hundred dollars a day— From where he sat Furlong could Let Mr. Furlong' have a go at it," sa id Betty. Maddox grinned. "That's what we been trying 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 sharpenin' steel." "Can't you drill past it?" er. He greeted the Durham girl with an easy familiarity, a suggestion of proprietorship that gave the visitor cause for thought, but towards Fur- long he was none too cordial and when Betty explained the reason for the Iatter's presence Maddox frowned. "Another wise guy, eh? Every rope- choker in ten miles has been trying to show us how smart he is. What d'you know about fishin', stranger?" "Not much," Ben confessed, "but I've had sorne luck." "Oh, I've had plenty of luck, my- self!" lvladdox 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 charge for this miracle of yours?" Impatiently Miss Durham exclaim- ed, "What's the difference how much he charges if he can do—?" "I've been paid for any help I can give you," Furlong declared. "Prob- 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?" "Sure! A six-inch steel bolt. It worked loose .and dropped out of a tool." "That's a new one," Ben admitted. here see that the timbers of the tower were still bright and unstained, thus adver- 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 job—been at it for a couple of weeks." "Gee!" The visitor shook his head. "That's running somebody in debt." "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 bonus—two bits an acre and she wouldn't listen to Uncle Joe's arguments. By and by they offered two bits, but by that time she want- ed a dollar. Then the companies got together, or the boom kind of peter- ed out, or something, and it began to look as if Uncle Joe would be lucky to make any kind of a deal. He fin- ally laid his ears back and leased a small block. Then be up and got kilIed," "That's too bad." "It was an accident. A powder wa- gon let go." The speaker's face grew 'wistful, she stared out across the arid countryside for a moment or two. "Uncle Joe loved rne, but—Aunt Mary is 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 Uncle Joe and he wasn't touched. Funny, too, because he's always afraid of the stuff and has a hunch he'll be blown up. All you have to say to him is "pow- der" and-" "How'd your aunt come to put down this new well?" "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 Bary. It wasn't a big well, but the royalty is enough to pay for this one. Iwon't cook any more hair 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 Furlong drew tip his chair. With the curiosity natural to his calling,the visitor inquired more spe- cifically about the nature of the mis- hap that had halted Maddox's pros- buthe learn little. He inferr- ed, n er -' prog- ress, ed 1 le i f r k ed, however, that the royalties from. the first well were, dwindling at an alarming rate and that any consider- able delay in completing the new well might therefore result in ruin to the owner. It was a prospect that nat- urally gave Betty and her aunt grave concern. When Ben had finished eating he said: "Maybe I can give this driller cif yourssome help. I've worked on a good many fishing jobs. D'you think he'd let me try?" "He will if t tell him to," the :girl declared. "He's tried everything d ythin g ans y body told him to try. Who kttows? Maybe you Can do it?" The,speaker put on her sunbonnet and together she and Furlong went acro.SS the valley to the well, Tiller Maddox vas a swarthy roan of about thirty-five; his eyes were bold and black and .set talose tooth sumed time: he was still at it when Betty reappeared at the well about dark and advised him that his supper was waiting. Mrs, Durham had returned from town. She was a woman of indeter- minate 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 wo- man stood in some sort of dread of Tiller Maddox and that her fear of antagonizing him almost equalled her anxiety for Furlong's success. Ben wondered why. Another fact he dis- covered—Betty and her aunt were not on the best of terms. After supper, by the light of a gas- oline torch, Furlong resumed his work the while Maddox vainly tried, with the new device which his employer had brought out from town, to grap- ple 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 hint the lat- ter inquired finally: "Say! How come Mr. Durham to get killed?" "He was blowed up. It was when "You've been experimenting for two weeks at a hundred dollars a day— Let Mr. Furlong have a go at it," said Betty. "How you goin' to sidetrack a six- inch bolt loose in the bottom of a hole?" "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 cup, an' it's too small to grap- ple. I s'pose we could get holt of it with some fancy kind of a magnet tf we could get holt of some fancy kind of a magnet, that would get hold of it." Again Maddox grinned. Betty Durham was staring at Fur- long with an apprehensive pucker be- tween her brows. "Ain't that our luck, for a little bitty old bolt to ruin everything? Can you think of any way—?" "I can think of one way that won't cost much to try." "I don't want any strangers experi- mentin' around—" Maddox began beat 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 ,exaggerat- ed gesture of. acquiescence. "!light you are, Betty! But this feller puts it on the bum, don't blame ire." Then to. Ben he announced: "Help your- self, 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 as to pick up .an objeet so small and as easily movable as a Birt -inch bolt,_ so he made one.. He took a. short length of steel easing of a diameter small eirough to slip into the well, and in oneend of this he cut teeth several inches long,:' It was a labor that .con - snakes this well they'll be m'ovin' in- to one of thein Dallas mansions,, with marble bedsteads, "Humph! He'll never make 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 en- gineer asserted, positively. "He don't lose anything he goes after," In the course of time Furlong fin- ished cutting the end of his steel Cas- ing into a series of teeth, and these teeth he 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 sus- pense, understood how he proposed to pick up that bolt. He had shaped those tapering teeth so that they re- sembled the curving fingers of a hand, and his delicate task was to drive the casing home' against the steel -hard bottom of the well until those fingers closed, until he clinches them over the obstacle, It was a task less difficult than it sounds.

Crate Feeding of Poultry Crate feeding of poultry gives the highest quality of flesh, and feeding in clean sanitary pens makes the best substitute. Only healthy birds of any kind will pay. Before confining the birds in crates or pens they should be given a laxative and freed of lice. Feed sparingly at first. Two to four weeks are required for finishing.

Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well - Being to Unknown.: Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the. pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he. thinks about :it — in comparison. with "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most w- eaned "pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice, Countless thousands of people. who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect; have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods get discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and safe for the average person to take regularly. "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade -mark of the Bayer Company, Limited. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every tablet.
