Gary naught the tension, and looked across at Mona Lee with eyes that were a little sorry, "Ira a rough idea of the geologi- cal eological struoture under this ranch, sir," he said. "I looked it up to- day on an old 'map that Hughey P'othergill owns—after I'd found what I thought were surface indi- cations ndications up there in that gulch a- bove the pasture. This map shows a promising structure, that's all." He went over it all then, marking out lines with a pencil on the sketch. What you're getting at is - that this land is the kind of land they find all under?" Harvey put in. ' "That's what all this ecientllCic stuff means?" * * "It means that this land is the kind that oil might be found un- der," Gary • qualified, definitely. ,Pm not making any statements. Only a competent geophysicist could give you reliable advice. They have the knowledge and the Instruments—I'm just a beginner,. I've studied the stuff but never had an opportunity to work at IL" Mona Lee could see Harvey fidg- eting in his chair. Then he Jumped up. "What's the reason we can't go up to that place now? I've got a flashlight. And there's a moon. Want to go, Mother?" "1 guess not . .well, if you're all going tralling • out there like crazy, I might as well go 'along.' * * f: They tramped through the pas- ture, a strange procession, Adel- aide skipping ahead and Gary and Harvey behind ler. The beans of Harvey's flashlight went search- ingly ahead, He carried a spade and a cloth sack thrown over Ms shoulder, And when they arrived at ,last at, the Tittle canyon he be- gan digging immediately, tossing Iumps of rock and earth into the sack that Adelaide held open, WE'RE POINTING.'

He works with oil," "'Because he'd want to ' ran everything And Grace would move in and take charge and think we ought to let Oliver run it. He doesn't know much about production anyway, lie just ped- dles leases." "Of course," Gary said,as they • turned back to the house, "the, sensible thing to do is to sell a lease, that is, it there should be oil down there. If you sell out to a production concern, they'll put down a test well and then close the area and hold it for future production," * * But Harvey disggreed violently with the idea, "If there's oil down there, the thing is to get it out. And It's my land, and it there's oil under it, I want it. I don't want some bunch of capitalists to get rich from what belongs to me." "Of course," Gary said "if there is oil down there—and if it won't cost you too much to go down after it—and if the Govern- ment will let you produce it after you find it. There are a lot of tricky angles to this oil business." "There are a lot of angles to the cattle business, too, but I get along, Come onback tothe house. I'm going to call up somebody a- bout this business. You kids help Mother along—I'm going on a- head." Adelaide said, very blandly, be- fore he swung away, "You know, Dad, Gary's leaving tomorrow ... going to Mexico." a * * ,,."There," said Adelaide con=' placently, hanging on to Garry'e arm, "You see? What did I tell You?" "Oh, but—look here, Mr, Mason, I can't do that. I've got a . job: I've got toget to work. I owe you too much already!' "You've got a job right here till 1 get the dope on this oil bust- ness. You found this oll didn't You? You st1Uk around till we know what's what," And Gary Tallman, because he was in love and weak with the knowledge that going away would tear his heart in two, agreed tenta- tively. Back in the house, Harvey be- gan thumbing through the tele- phone book frantically. Mona Lee sat, a little collapsed, in a deep chair. Gary sat in a corner, look- ing ooking white and spent. Harvey was shouting into the telephone now. * * *: It was midnight when he hung up at lest, hot and triumphant. "Well, I got me some fellows;' who know their business," he an• pounced. "Iiad to chase 'can all over Texas and part of Louisiana, but I got 'em. And they'll be out here Friday." "Friday's unlucky," protested Mona Lee faintly, "Not for us. Not if we get those men on the job, Why don't you folks goto bed?'' - "What's the use ---with you yell - Ing enough to wake the dead? Gary, you go along, You're not. strong yet and you've had a long day." "How can I sleep," exclaimed Adelaide, "when I'm bursting with excitement? And its three days till Friday." "Roll over and shut: your eyes that's what I'm going to do," tn- nounced Harvey, lumbering up.. "'tomorrow 1 want you kills to drive up` to Dallas and get, me a good map."

We thought that winter was upon us this morning but then a warm sun appeared, snow vanished, the hard ground softened .and we rejoiced in a reprieve from winter, no matter how brief it may prove to be.

Storm windows . I don't want to sec or touch any for months- although I don't mind looking through them. You see, way back in the summer of '44'we ordered five new storm windows. They were de- livered on a cold rough day last December — unpainted, of course. We never got them on at all. They were just left in the storeroom. Round about September I began to think they really should be painted if they were to go on the house this fall Thinking was as far as I got -that is until the end of October. Then my conscience wouldn't let me rest any longer- those windows would have to be done. * * * Have you tried painting, new storm sash? Do you know what a slow job it can be? If you have, then, unless you are, a magician, you know you can paint only one side at a time—and with two coats of paint that means wrestling with the job four different times — or more, if you are interrupted. Your eyes tire, your feet ache and you continually find yourself painting the glass as well as the woodwork, On one of these occasion's' son Bob volunteered to help; ,I accepted , gladly—until I found it took me longer to clean off the smears on the glass than it did to paint) May- be painters, like poets, are born and not made.: As to that I don't think I was born a painter either. Came the day when the windows were finished, also the arrival of a carpenter to fit "them —'and there was I getting .dinner and running around ahead of the carpenter to clean windows before the storm sash -was put on. Why didn't I clean tbern before? Because I' don't like doing the same job over again. Clean windows ahead of . time and as as anythingit rains in the night leaving them woefully siren- ky.

Sunday School Lesson November 18 The Outreach of the Church Acts 11:19-30; 12:24-13:4. Golden Text And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation — Mark 16:15. Growth of the Church Acts 11:12.—The phrase "the hand of the Lord was upon them" is an expression occasionally found in the Old Testament to indicate a direct interposition of God in the affairs of men, either for blessing or for hindrance. 22-24,-Barnabas had one theme with which he -exhorted the mem- bers of the church at Antioch, that they should cleave unto the Lord. His ministry was apparently not that of teaching, but of exhort- ation. Both are needed. Teaching must come first; exhortation is an inspired encouragement to practice what we know. And the church continued to grow by the adddition of new converts. 25.—Saul was needed . at this juncture to cope, with the rapid growth of the work at Antioch. It was here that the 'disciples were .first called Christians. The follow- ers of Jesus were called Nazarenes and Galileans'by their, Jewish fel- low .countrymen, but . this new name was intended to mark the difference between Jews and Gen- tiles on the one hand and those who, whether Jews or Gentiles, were followers of Christ. Strengthening of the Church 27-30.—Many prophets appear in the New Testament records. Some of them, as Agabus, foretold the future, and some, no doubt, were possessed of the gift of tongues. Acts 12:24 -25. -john whose sur- name was Mark was the son of Mary who was sister to Barnabas and we lean, in Col. 4:10 Mark did become valuable to Paul who said 'he Is profitable to me for the min- istry!! The Dual Commission Acts 13: 1-4.—To worldig' eyes the sending forth of these men would seem of no significance, none would take any - notice of Them. Had it been a Roman army going forth, with banners flying,' to serve the Emperor, what excite- ment there would be, what cheer- ing! But these two insignificant Jews, . accompanied by John 3,Sark their attendant (Acts 13:5), passed on unnoticed, "their- only weapons were the 'Word of God and prayer, These Hien however, were to do a work which would long OU'i'- LIVE- the Roman Empire, TABLE TIRO..
