CHAPTER TX.

For nearly a week after the home
coming of his beloved daughter John
Folsom was too happy in her presence
to give much thought TO other matters.
BY the end of that week, however, the
honest old westerner found anXieties
thickening about him. There were 48
hours of undimmed rejoicing. Elinor
was so radiant, so fond, and had grown,
so said the proud father to himself, and
so said others, so wondrously lovely
His eyes followed her every movement.
He found himself negligent of her gen
tie little friend and guest, Jessie Dean,
to whom he had vowed to be a second
father, and such a friend as she had
been to his Pappoose when, a homesick,
sad-eyed child, she entered upon her
schooldays., Elinor herself had to
chide him, and with contrition and dis
may he admitted his fault, and then
for hours nothing could exceed his hos
pitable attentions to Jessie, who, sore
ly disappointed because Marshall was
not there to meet her, was growing
anxious as no tidings came from him.
Two whole days the damsels spent in
going over the new house, eXclaiming
over papa's lavish preparations, but
wishing presently that Mrs. Fletcher
were not quite so much in evidence,
here, there, and everywhere. Only
when bedtime came and they could
nestle in one or other of their connect
ing rooms were they secure from inter-
ruption, and even then it presently ap-
peared they could not talk confiden-
TALLY as of old. Folsom had taken
them driving each afternoon, he him
self handling the reins over his hand
some bays, Elinor at his side the first
time, and Jessie, with Mrs. Fletcher,
occupying the rear seat. But this,
Elinor whispered to him, was not as it
should be. Her guest should have the
seat of honor. So, next day, Jessie was
handed to the front and Mrs. Fletcher
and Pappoose were placed in rear,
and in this order they bowled round
the fort and listened to the band and
talked with several of the women and
one or two officers, but these latter
could tell nothing about Lieut.. Dean
except that they had been expecting
him for two days-he having taken the
long way home, which both Jessie and
Pappoose considered odd under the
circumstances, though neither said so
and nobody thought 10 explain. But
the morning of the third day ''Miss Fol-
som"-as the veteran was amazed to
hear his daughter addressed, yet on re-
Fiction concluded that he'd be tempted
to kick any man who addressed her

Kansas gas field with Samuel 7. MUIR

S. Neely of Lima, Ohio, both wealthy
gas men who are associated with Mr..
Nelson in the Kansas Gas & Oil Co.
There were six men in the party that
toured the gas belt, all experienced

pleased with their new $50 pound pres

spend lots of money developing the
field. Mr.. Murdock is the gentleman
who came here couple of years ago
and proposed to pipe the gas here
from lola, but later concluded that
the field was not sufficiently developed
to warrant such an expense. He now
thinks this will be the greatest field
in the world when it is worked as it
will be in few years.

back two men in the uniform of officers
boarded the car, one of them burly, ro-

section just in front of the girls, and at
Pappoose he stared-stared long and
hard, so that she bit her lip and turned
nervously away. The porter busted
