Spudding in an oil well is a very interesting affair,
ially in absolute wild cat territory, because of the
libilities *and hopes involved, but drilling in a well in
I territory is even more exciting. They were drilling

this wouldn’t be necessary.” *
“Listen.” Eddie faced him with
a steady eye that waa growing
colder every second. “You don’t

“The truth is, Regan, that I’m

I’m doing it on behalf of a friend.
You came this afternoon to Mr.
Thorndike’s home and out of com-
mon politeness he couldn’t say
anything to you while you were oa

“Couldn’t he? Well, there was
nothing to stop him if he had
wanted to—and I don’t beHeVe he

“You’re right about one thiftg—

Freeman?”
”1 doft’t like Four style of
beauty.” '
“You mean you don’t like my

“I dba’t like your faces.”
Eddie very leisurely climbed
into hi* buggy, but he did not
start the horse at once.
“I hate to leave you in that un-
satisfied condition about the ioob
of my face,” he said, quietly. ‘T’D
tell you What I’ll do with you—I'll

But there was no point of attaek,
no way to rush in and contest for

handcuffed. Dismally, he won-

desired—would ever be strong
enough to loosen the coils of iartn
ily prejudice and pride that bound
ier, too. On his somber horison
there was only one star of hope,
one gleam of light. *
Sooner or later he was going to
meet Tom Freeman. There was
savage exaltation in the thought; a
deep, satisfying task awaited his
fists . . .
Eddie found that he was begin-
ging to worry so much about the
apparent hopelessness of his love
for Marian Thorndike that he was
osing his perspective on other mat-
ters and making himself Complete-
y miserable. And that, he told
limself, was a sign of weakness.
