pisAcREEAsLY AGREEABLE.
Young Nan Was There with the
Oily Approval TO q Nauseat-
ing Extent.

A story told OF the late James +. Joy
is at least characteristic. He was never
weak in his likes or dishkes, and among
the things that he dearly liked were
honesty and naturalness. The attempt to
appear what one were not was to antay-
onize him, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cal Tribune.
Mr.. Joy had many positions at his dis.
tosal, and an applicant for one OF them
came with gilt-edged credentials. The
young man presenting them was of good
appearance, finely educated, and the son
of one whom the financier had respected
fol years. Wise as to his tongue the youth
would have walkover.
The older man purposcly engaged the
younger in conversation. The latter re
piled in smooth sentences, delivered in
i uulcet tones. MIR. Joy would make q
statement carrying an opinion, and there
would be unctuous approval from his
caller. This got on to the nerves O
| the sturdy old gentleman. He advanced
all opinion Numerically opposed to the
one delivered but few sentences be
fore. The youth was right there with
his oily approval. The railroad magnatt
wondered how far it would go, and pu,
the test:
Don't you think that this il q much
warmer summer than last?"
"Unquesticnably."
"But on second thought I think it con
siderably cooler"

arrived at Humble at q time when
the excitement was at fever heat. New
strikes were being made every day.

spark amongst the factors that were
disturbing the mental equilibrium of
the inexperienced girl which rapidly
grew into a mountain Of regrets. He
said: "Oil flows do not go on forever
The wells often suddenly cease to
spout. They burn out or blow out.
The field Is exhausted. Then the land
is not worth five cents an acre."
Choice shivered as if she had an
ague. Running to old Polly she cried
in anguish: 20! why didn't take all
that gold?"
The shrewd old major saw the effect
of his spark and he ran to Smart &
Hermolingue with the information.
They did not have the gold, but they
were rich in villainy. The major
remembered that the young woman
had distant relative named Carroll

expressed a desire to visit the old man
and his family. He at once went to
Miss Choice with lie that had been
invented by Smart. He told the per-
picked young woman that he had just
heard from her relative, Mr.. Carroll,
and that the old man had sent an in
vitation for Miss Choice to visit his
family. "He would have come for
you, but he is not WE'LL" said the

Tertiary. AS a recluse and bear
hunter he had proved eminently sue

Now that fortune had knocked at his
door, he determined to leave no stone
unturned until he could walk with
the oil millionaires and be one of them

approached by a well-dressed little
man, who asked few questions. and
at once proceeded to make himself a
pleasing and interesting acquaintance.
Smart, of the firm of Smart & Her
molingue, had stumbled upon q valu
able find. In less than two minutes he
had learned that Mai. Sark knew a
great deal about the land and the heirs
of Whit Bardeline, and he invited him
to visit the Office Of his firm. In
this Office the old bear hunter was
treated with princely cordially. Drinks
flowed freely, and Maj. Sark was dis
sected and every fact in his mem
DRY was laid bare to the eager, con-
scienceless capacities of a trio of the
smoothest sharks that ever scented
oil.
Mai. Sark left the office of his new
ly discovered friends with 500 In his
pocket and instructions to find the
heirs of Whit Bardeline. He slept and
then caught a train. Smart took a
train and then slept.
After arriving at Caldwell, in Bur-
lison county, Tex. it did not take the
laundering old lawyer long to secure
valuable information.
Two of the Bardeline heirs were still
alive. Miss Choice-a young woman
nearly 20 years of age-was easy to
find. She lived with one OF her rela-
tives in the suburbs of the town. Sam
Bardeline, who was two years younger
than his sister, had gone to New

"choice Of the flock"
Maj. Sark turned his footsteps in
the direction Of the residence of Mrs.
sallie Bales, the old aunt with whom
Miss Bardeline lived. Sure of ac-
complishing his purpose, he already
accounted himself a capitalist and an
CT. king. Reaching the front gate, he
was rubbing his hands together and
whispering to himself: Them fellows
will have to pay me well for this fine
piece of strategy"
Girl Refuses to Be Duped.
Choice came to the front door, and
the major introduced himself.
II am Choice Bardeline," said the
young woman.
Mai. Sark discovered that another
man occupied chair in corner of the
room he entered, and while he was
rubbing his eyes and trying to find
why the stranger had a familiar ap-
pearance. the young woman said: "Mr.
Sark, permit me to introduce you to
Mr.. Smart, from the Humble oil fields. .
The major stood staring with his
mouth wide open. Repeated efforts to
express his surprise resulted in fail

When Choice retired from the room
Smart whispered: Il can't do a
thing with her. l will leave as soon
as she comes back. Do your level
best. Get a quitclaim deed or a
power Of attorney. There are millions
in this deal"
sark was left alone with an inex-
rerienced young girl, whose signature
to a piece of paper was worth heaps
of gold. Miss Bardeline was casual
reader Of newspapers. She had heard
something of the discoveries at Hum
BILE, and she knew that land in that
section Of the country had increased
in value. but she had no inkli.g Of tn:

had passed away after leaving the
country and that all the children but
two had finally yielded to the germs Of
the fatal malaria that they had carried
from the lowlands. These two were
living with relatives in Burleson ooun-
ty, according to the best information
that could be collected by Mai. Sark.
Schemers' Eyes Opened.
The old lawyer visited the oil field.
There he saw things that caused hin,
to open his eyes wide and made him
assume youthful airs. He heard men
talking of millions as his neighbors
talked of dollars. Here was q we'll
worth 100000" and there was one
that had Just been sold for "half mil
l,on." Before his eyes was 40 acres Of land
that he had once seen exchanged for
an old blind horse and fiddle that was
now being sold by the foot. It took
a capitalist to own as much as one
could cover with a saddle blanket. The
successful operators were working
right up to the line Of the tract that
belonged to the heirs Of Whit Barde-
line.
Mai. Sark remembered that this land
had once been sold for two dollars an
acre, and he recalled that when Barde-
line was forced to leave the country
on account of sickness in his family
and poverty, it was in vain that hi
sought buyer.

trio saw wonderful possibilities in the

many ways to manage the affair in or
