hunter he had proved eminently sue
cessful. but he longed to be. rich.
Now that fortune had knocked at his
door, he determined to leave no stone
unturned until he could walk with.
the oil mfillionaires and be one of them
altogether. While his head was swim
ming with these great Ideas he was
approached by a well-dressed little
man, who asked a 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 yalu-
able find. IN less than two minutes he
had learned that Maj. sark knew q
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 cordiality. Drinks
flowed freely, and Mai. sark was dis
sected and every fact In his mem

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 Choiee-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
Mexico with a herd of cattle.
A little inquiry revealed to the agent
Of the operators in the oil lands that
he was searching for q popular. hand
!; some and intelligent young woman.
Miss. Bardeline was the belle Of the
town. She had won the odd name Of
Choice when she was an infant

disturbing the mental equilibrium Of
the inexperienced girl which rapidly
grew into q mountain OF regrets. He
said: "Oil flows do not go on forever.

The shrewd old major saw the effect
Of his spark and he ran to Smart q

They did not have the gold, but they
were rich In villainy. The major
remembered that the young woman
had . distant relative named Carroll

ten miles away, and that she had once
expressed q desire to visit the old man
and his family. He It once went to

Maj. Sark turned his footsteps In

Miss Bardeline lived. Sure Of ac-
