NEW OIL FIELD.

MI. Dick Davis came from
Bayou Bouillon Wednesday and
reported that the we'll drilled this
week is q complete success, it was
bsiled before the strsiner was put
down and seven barrels of fine lu-
bricating oil was taken out of the
we'll. The sand is rising in the
pipe. but this will be overcome as
soon a. the strsiner is put down.
This we'll proves the field beyond
all doubts, and in q very short
time the we'll will be pumped. The
drillers are getting ready to drill
other wells as rapidly as possible.
This field lie said to be far superior
than was at first expected, and
will prove Q vast one.
This field which comprises seve-
raj thousand acres of land is an
entirely home company, Mr.. Robt.
Martin, the most active oil man of
this section is President of this
Company, and he is assisted in the
development of this field by
Messrs. Sam Shelburne. Scott
Kelso, George Knight, Dick Da.
Wis, DR.. ]. s. Martin and others
who are not making much noise
about their holdings, having nc
stock for sale, but they are al
workers, and their present success
is due entirely to their energy anG
determination.
This first we'll will pump abou
five hundred barrels per day. ant
a we'll can be put down there an(
finished in about five or ten days
and at very small cost, and thu
water transportation is 90 vast ant
extensive, that this field has th'
finest prospects of being the bes
and largest in the world.

Ter asked for him?"
For Mr.. Alden? Yes" replied Ken
dali.
What did you tell her?"
I'VE said that he had sent all sorts
of kind messages and that lie received
constant reports from us. but that she
must not ask to see him before to-
morrow"
Did she plead to see him at once?"
asked Brenda
Kendall hesitated for moment whlll
they were passing silently out of the
room
Miss Miller is a very obedient pa.
tient," he said. mo one could give
less trouble"
"Well?" rejoined Brenda. PLEASE
proceed"
Il don't quite understand"
You have something more TO say"
1T occurred to me- said Kendall
slowly, that she exhibited less anx.
iety to see Mr.. Alden than | should
have expected"
This statement seemed to furnish
Brenda with abundant food for
thought. She said nothing as they
traversed the long corridor, and Ken
dali also was silent. After Brenda
had sent the message to her father she
conferred with Kendall in regard to
her remaining in the hospital as Elsie's
nurse and then dispatched her maid
under James escort for such things as
she would need.

Brenda and Kendall alone in the re-
ceptiUn room.
Il wish you would tell me more
about Miss Miller" said she. Il can
not understand why she should not
have wished to see Mr.. Alden"
! 81 did not say that" responded Ken
dali. at was her manner that struck
me as peculiar"
she seems as unaffected and impui-
sive as a child" said Brenda. 81 can
imagine her asking for Mr.. Alden as
naturally as If he had been a drink OF
water"
That is precisely what she did not
! do said the doctor. Let ms tell you
just what happened. When she was
brought to the hospital, she was UNI
conscious. For certain reasons We
took her TO the room where she now
is, though that would not have been
the ordinary course. While ] was
making my first examination of the
wound she began to revive, and | be-
lieve that she regained the full corr.

comes efeCtually clear, but | am per-
fectly sure that Miss Miller's was wide
awake some little time before she chose
To let that fact appear
You must remember that we over
estimated the gravity Of tho wound
and indeed We're expecting the worst
at any moment. Considering the ma
ture Of the case, II was important to
question her Immediately. asked
her who had inflicted the injury, and
| know that she heard and understood
me as well as you do now. but she
made no sign. After her first view OF
the place, which she must have recOg-
nized as a room in hospital, she
closed her eyes. and ! think II must
have been a matter Of five minutes he
fore she opened them"
Thinking" said Brenda, thinking,
thinking. Poor child"
Though she is obviously ahnormalIy
sensitive TO pain" Kendall continued,
she bore what had to be done with the
fortitude of a Christian martyr /
made up my mind after awhile that
miracle had protected her ana that she
had a chance to survive; therefore
ceased to ask questions, decided to lot
her take her own time. When she
spoke, 1t was not in reply to me, ana
she seemed TO address no one i an
going to die, she said and then she be-
gan to cry very softly, as you saw her
a few minutes ago. replied that did
not think so, but she shook her head,
murmuring something about the grief
of her mother, who could not come in
time to see her. | asked for her moth
er's address and was informed by
police sergeant who had just been adj
mitted to the room, coming under or
ders from Captain Neale. that Mrs.
Simmons, the landlady, had telegraphed
to Mrs. Miller.

ARGUMENT FOR THE DEFENSE.
when one is in the valley Of the

nish many reasons for desiring to go

swallowed up in the instinct of living

that they do not wish to recover, but
most of them will wait until after the
danger is over before giving utterancG
TO words which the supernal powers
may take TOO seriously.
Dr. Kendall was not in the least pre-
pared to hear such an expression from
this particular patient. He would have
said that she was one who enjoyed
life. every minute of Ii. Certainly she
was rs full Of natural vitality as a
young fawn in the woods. Plainly
Brenda was at least as much surprised

Winning Success.

Miss Beatrice Balfour has many
friends in Waxahachie who will be
gratified to learn that she is winning
success in New York as a dramatic
reader. She went to New York last
fall to further prosecute her studies
in oratory and dramatic reading and
during the past winter she has given
several recitals which have been
highly commended by the public and
press. Perhaps Que of the highest
compliments paid Miss Balfour came
from Ella Wheeler Wilcox who says /:
"Miss Beatrice Balfour is an artist.
She has a very magnetic fascinating
voice-a voice that can only spring
from a woman with a great soul /;
one who feels deeply and has known
great suffering"

May q and y. Mr.. Ousley thinks

One hundred and fifty editors In

weight than they ever saw before,
