(Continued from last week) From the edge of the crowd Gr watched the efFeet of this offer6 Div ining rods, he well knew, were. as al as the oil industry, but he was sur prised to see that fully half of thi audience appeared to put faith in th claim, and the other half were no entirely skeptical, A man at his sid began reeiting an experience of hi . own. MeWade now introduced the mir acle worker himself, and Gray ros on tiptoe, to see him. A moment, the he smiled widely, for the eminent 6ci entist was none other than Mr. Mal low -Mallow, a bit pallid and past3 as if from confinement, and with eye bidden behind dark goggles. With .how ot- s-ome embarrassment, th inventor displayed his tester, a suf ficiently impressive device with rub ber handles and. a resistance coil at bached to a dry -�attery, which It mirried in bis pocket. Gray looked ,on as the comedy wa played out. It transpired that. Pro Cessor Mallow had- tested, amon Aher properties, the newest MeWade Stoner lease, a company to drill whic:. hah just .been formed under the titl Df "The Desert Scor pion," and h really judged from the b6havior o his machine that a remarkable poo andleTlaid the tiact. He was, willin -o risk -his reputation upon the guar .ir.ty that the first well would pro luce -not less than three thousan :)arrels a day. He was interested i ,he outcome only from a scientifi ,tandi>oint; he owned not one singl - ,hare of stock. Then M,cWade resumed his swa )ver the crowd and soon shares i 'The Desert Scorpion" were sellin .-,q p i dI y. I Shortly after lunch, Mallow an ;be two pArtners were seated in th )ffice upstairs, their work done fo ,he day. Another successful promo Jon had gone to the credit of Me ATade and Stoner; all three were ir i, triumphal mood. Mallow was Te �crunting a -story that had just com �o his ears. "Remember that old silver tip tha �ook a stand in front of the Owl Dru 3tore a few days back? He calle us, company 'The Star of Hope."' Stoner nodded. "He had a gooi . nece Qf ,ground, right ad -joining th qoon Petroleum tract-tbree well lown to the sand. I wondered hov ie ever got 'hold of it." "He didn't.

McWade frowned his disapproval 'Something ought to be done to sto I .hose crooks or they'll kill us legiti rnate promoters. You can't sting ,rowd too often in the game spot." There came a knock at the door and in answer to an invitation to ert ter it ,opened. The next instant bot: McWade and Stoner sat erect in the! chairs, with eyes alert and question ing, for at sight of the stranger Mal low bad leaped to his feet with , smothered exclamation and now stoo with his back to the desk and wi his bead outthrust in a peculiar att tude of strained intensity. CHAPTER X "Well, well, Mallowl" The caller face broke into an engaging smile a he crossed the threshold. "Still wea ing dark glasses, eh? I'm afraid yo didn% beed my instructions." Mallow spoke huskilly, "What th hell you doing here? ' ' i ' te "Following the excl -ment, merel I shall open an office and spend good deal of my time in Wichi Falls.

(Continued from last week) From the edge of the crowd Gr watched the efFeet of this offer6 Div ining rods, he well knew, were. as al as the oil industry, but he was sur prised to see that fully half of thi audience appeared to put faith in th claim, and the other half were no entirely skeptical, A man at his sid began reeiting an experience of hi . own. MeWade now introduced the mir acle worker himself, and Gray ros on tiptoe, to see him. A moment, the he smiled widely, for the eminent 6ci entist was none other than Mr. Mal low -Mallow, a bit pallid and past3 as if from confinement, and with eye bidden behind dark goggles. With .how ot- s-ome embarrassment, th inventor displayed his tester, a suf ficiently impressive device with rub ber handles and. a resistance coil at bached to a dry -�attery, which It mirried in bis pocket. Gray looked ,on as the comedy wa played out. It transpired that. Pro Cessor Mallow had- tested, amon Aher properties, the newest MeWade Stoner lease, a company to drill whic:. hah just .been formed under the titl Df "The Desert Scor pion," and h really judged from the b6havior o his machine that a remarkable poo andleTlaid the tiact. He was, willin -o risk -his reputation upon the guar .ir.ty that the first well would pro luce -not less than three thousan :)arrels a day. He was interested i ,he outcome only from a scientifi ,tandi>oint; he owned not one singl - ,hare of stock. Then M,cWade resumed his swa )ver the crowd and soon shares i 'The Desert Scorpion" were sellin .-,q p i dI y. I Shortly after lunch, Mallow an ;be two pArtners were seated in th )ffice upstairs, their work done fo ,he day. Another successful promo Jon had gone to the credit of Me ATade and Stoner; all three were ir i, triumphal mood. Mallow was Te �crunting a -story that had just com �o his ears. "Remember that old silver tip tha �ook a stand in front of the Owl Dru 3tore a few days back? He calle us, company 'The Star of Hope."' Stoner nodded. "He had a gooi . nece Qf ,ground, right ad -joining th qoon Petroleum tract-tbree well lown to the sand. I wondered hov ie ever got 'hold of it." "He didn't. That's the big laugh le didn't own that land at all. H ust had himself a map drawn, wit] ihe numbers changed. His groun4 vas a mile away. He sold his stoc n two days, thirty-five thousan ;bares, then he blew. Some Coal-oi fohn, who had plunged for abou ' ,hree shares, got to studying his owi -nap, found there was somethin Arrong and let u a squawk. But Sil �er Tip had faged like the mists .o -arly in orn-th irty- five stronger thai 'ie was. Snappy work, eh?" McWade frowned his disapproval 'Something ought to be done to sto I .hose crooks or they'll kill us legiti rnate promoters. You can't sting ,rowd too often in the game spot." There came a knock at the door and in answer to an invitation to ert ter it ,opened. The next instant bot: McWade and Stoner sat erect in the! chairs, with eyes alert and question ing, for at sight of the stranger Mal low bad leaped to his feet with , smothered exclamation and now stoo with his back to the desk and wi his bead outthrust in a peculiar att tude of strained intensity. CHAPTER X "Well, well, Mallowl" The caller face broke into an engaging smile a he crossed the threshold. "Still wea ing dark glasses, eh? I'm afraid yo didn% beed my instructions." Mallow spoke huskilly, "What th hell you doing here? ' ' i ' te "Following the excl -ment, merel I shall open an office and spend good deal of my time in Wichi Falls. I hoped I'd find you here, fo this morning I heard you describ your invention and -admiration ove� came me. I felt constrained to co gratulate you upon your scientific a tainments. Marvelous, my dear Do toy! Or is it Professor Mallow?" Th speaker laughed -heartily. "Won you introduce me to these -let us sa magnetic forces of nature., that y have discovered?" He indicated bl two partners." "What do you want?" Mallo barked. "Momentary agitation has roblN our Professor of his habitual pol ness-a not unusual phenomenon the preoccupied scientific mind." Th word,B were directed at MeWade ai Stoner. "My nairne is Gray. Perlha Doctor Mallow has made mention me.v7 . .So You're the lad that thremT p per in his eyes?"
