The man had a, unique turn for publicity, a knack for self-advdrt� ins that infuriated Nelson. To read this anybody woo think would Innk that he via y Y s one of the dominant figures in the oil in- dustry, and that iiia enterprises were immensely successful, With a §neer Nelson flung the gaper aside. So, Haat was how it had happened. The well. had been fired -Henry believed he could akcount for that -but a miraele had quenched the flame. Falling drill stems! Who ever beard of such a thing? Such luck was uncanny -en- ough to give one the creeps. If Gray were tied hand and foot and thrown into a river, somebody would drag him out -✓with his pockets full of fish! And to'be marooned for days in the! midst of a blazing lake= Damnation! Well, luck like that was bound to change. It had changed. The note of assurance in this self -edited story was patently counterfeit, or so Henry told himself, for, surely the fellow must know by this time that his race was run. Probably this was a des- perate effort to secure further back- ing. If so, it would fail. Henn believed that he had weak- ened his enemy's support so complete- ly that he would fall of his own weight; he considered it, in fact, a- bout the cleverest move he had ever made to dispose of a block of bank stock in such a way as not only to tide him over his own difficulties, but also to make allies of Gray's associ- ites the very men who had been fighting him. Those men w e r e through with the scoundrel now, and who else could he appeal to, once they abandoned him? Nobody. No, the .ce had been thin, at times -Henry iad felt it bending under him -but he was safe at last. The crossing had leen made. So much accomplished; now that ;he fellow was down and could no onger fight back, it was time to see :hat Barbara Parker learned the truth tbout her gallant suitor. The next ,ime Tom Parker came into the bank -lenry called him into his private of - 'ice and had a talk with him. Old Tom listened silently; never- heless, it was 'plain that he was deep - y shocked. "I s'pose you ain't lyin'," he said i oldly, when the banker had finished. "It's a matter of record, Toni. He an't deny it." "Why did you -hold off so long?" "We're not exactly friends. He 'oolishly believes that I had some- hing to do with his disgrace, and he Las done his best to injure me. Un - ler the circumstances, I couldn't very vell say anything. I wouldn't speak Low, except for the fact that `Bob' s interested in him and -well, I'm . nterested in 'Bob.'" "She's been interested in hint from he first. I don't see that the cir- :umstances are much different than hey have been," Tom said, sourly. "Put it down to jealousy, if you . vrsh. was impatient. Henry P "And I don't know as `Bob' ever ', encouraged you to think-" "Perhaps not. But she is the only voman I ever say that I'd make Mrs. ' Belson." "What was it he did?" "Conduct unbecoming an officer and t gentleman is the way the record tands. That covers a lot." "Did he welch -quit under fire. "No." "Steal something?" "No." "Woman scrape?" "There was --a woman concerned , 'retty nasty mess, Tom. Ice's the ;ort of man to intrigue any foofish woman. Women can't see far." "I s'pose so." Mr. Parker rose ;tiffly. "But we don't have to worry about `Bab.' She ain't foolish and ier eyesight is good. She's got more ;ense than all three of us men." With :his noncommittal remark the father imped out. But Tom was more deeply troubled ;ban he had shown. Nothing to be laid against a man could have weigh- ed more heavily with him than this .jarticular charge. To a man of his :ype dereliction of duty was a crime; lishonora'ble discharge from the army if his country was an appalling in- iictment implying utter moral turpi- tude. Tom had known more than one Fellow who was guilty of conduct un- becoming a gentleman -as a matter of fact, he had reason to respect cer- tain of them for some of their un- gentlemanly conduct -but conduct un- becoming an officer was something al- together different. He bad never met but one such, and he had shot that fellow just above the bridge of the nose. A. traitor to his oath of of- fice, a man who could dishonor his state, his country, was worse than a renegade; his name was a hissing up- on the lips of decent people. Scala- wags like that were not to be toler- ated. It seemed incredible that Gray could be one. Yes, and "Bob" liked the fellow - but so did he, for that matter. In great perturbation of spirit Tom con- sulted .Judge Halloran. The judge listened to him in aston- ishment angrily he cried: "The idea of his paying court to 'Bob'1 The insufferable insolence of it! Wby I consider it a -personal affront." "Where do you come in to get all het up?" Tom growled. "What?"" Halloran's irascible face reddened.. " `Where do I-'? My God! Haven't 1-? Don't I and in loco parentis to the girl?" "You ain't as loco parentis to her as I am. She's my son. Trouble is, I like Mr. Gray. You don't think Hlenry could be lying?" "Ile wouldn't dare. It is too ser- ious. No, Tom. there's just one thing to do; you And i will go directly to the scoundrel, tell him we are aware of his infamy, and order him out of town.
