CHAPTER VI
He said, "What's this picture?"
and his voice was hoarse and
strange. Gary caught the tension,
and looked across at Mona Lee
with eyesthat were a little sorry,
"It's a rough idea of the geologi-
cal structure under this ranch,
Mr," he said, "I looked it up to-
day on an old map that Hughey
Fothergill owns—after I'd found
what I thought were surface indi-
cations 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 oil under?" Harvey put in.
'That's what all this scientillic
stuff means?„
* * *
"It means that this land is the
kind that MI might be found un-
der," Gary qualified, definitely;
„I'm 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
Lad an opportunity to work at it."
Mona Leo 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?"
"I guess not . . .well, if you're
all going trailing out there like
crazy, I might as well go along.'
* *
They tramped through the pas-
ture, a strange procession, Adel-
aide skipping ahead and Gary and
Harvey behind her. The beats of
Harvey's flashlight went search-
ingly ahead. He carried a spade
and a cloth sack thrown over his
shoulder. And when they arrived
at Last at the little canyon he be-
gan digging immediately, tossing
lumps of rock and earth into the
sack that Adelaide held open.

"Whatever we do, Dad, let's not
tell Oliver."
"Why not? He works with oil."
"Because he'd want to run
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, he 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 disagreed violently
with the idea. "If there's oil down
there, the thing 1s to get it out.
And it's my land, and if 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 on back to the 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."
* * *
"There," said Adelaide com-
placently, hanging on to Garry's
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 to get to work. I owe you
too much already,"
"You've got a job right here till
I get the dope on this oil busi-
ness. You found this .oil didn't
You? You stick 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 white and spent.
Harvey was shouting into the
telephone now.
* * *
It was midnight when he hung
up at last, hot and triumphant.
"Well, I got me some fellows
who know their business," he an-
nounced. "Had to chase 'em 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 go to 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," an-
nounced Harvey, lumbering up.
"Tomorrow I want you kids 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.
I think all of us welcome spring
and summer and we glory in the
grandeur of the autumn season, but
winter . well, that's something
else again. Of course it depends
upon one's age , . . the very young
think in terms of sleigh rides and
snowball fights; teen-agers of
hockey, dances and skating parties,
while to staid middle-agers int
means problems concerning storm
windows and coal bins. Storm
'windows , .. I don't want to see 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 rete 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 occasions 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 remade. 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 them before? Because I don't
like doing the same job over again..
Clean windows ahead of time arid
as sure as anything it rains in the
night leaving then woefully strea-
ky. There was no use looking to
the men for helpthey were busy
enough drawing in red clover seed.
* * *
Eventually 'the windows were on
— old as well as new—and that
same night the wind whined and
howled, and rattled the shutters
from one end of the house to the
other. I lay in bed listening to it,
feeling more thankful every min -

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:I2: 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 hien, 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 rapi'1
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
dif£ereese 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 Nei, Testament records. Some
of there .as Agabus, foretold t'Tce
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 whowas sister to Barnabas
and we learn 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 worldly eyes
the sending forth of these men
would seen 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,. acconipartied by John Mark
their attendant (Acts 13:5), passed
on unnoticed, their only weapons
were the Word of God and prayer.
These men however, were to' do
a work which-. would long OU'i'•-
LIVE the Roman Empire.
