Activity in Osaqe Field.

Pawhuska, Okla, July 1S.-Oil and
gas interests in the Usage Indian
nation have taken a sudden awak-
ening with the announcement from
he New Jersey offices of the Indian
Territory Illuminating Oil and Gas
company that they will this sum.
mer drill in and around Pawhuska
100 oil wells.
This is the company that has a
lease from the federal government
covering $4,000 acres of oil land in
che Usage Nation. For months they
have been making test drills on
different parts of their holdings and
the announcement OF such vast op-
erations is taken to mean that these
tests have proven successful.
Already the drilling workmen are
arriving and several crews are busy
erecting derricks. First operations
are expected to begin a mile and a
half northeast of Pawhuska. Opera
tions on this will be started the
last OF next week.
The company is also arranging the
immediate construction of a six-inch
pipe line connecting with the pipe
line company's mains in the eastern
part of the nation.
A number of independent operat-
ors have been visiting different
parts of the nation near the Illu-
minating companys holdings and
Pawhuska expects TO witness an ex
citing oil boom within the next
few weeks.
Despite the general impression
that the Illuminating Gas and Oil
company hold a blanket lease il
Il fact that they hold but a small
part OF the whole, there remaining
thousands OF acres open to individ-
ual investment.

His ball flew through the air. 1t
was struck, and clean and true; it
fell within ten yards of the hole.
Good" said Purvis; "a good putt,
and you are down in two"
Somehow he had lost interest in
the game himself; all interest was
centeret in the other two Even
when his ball failed to reach the
green he did not mind; he did not
care If he lost.
When they reached the green, they
found that Spragues ball had stym-
led Ricordo's-that is to say, it
lay on the green on a straight line
between Ricordos ball and the hole
"Will you either play out, or pick
up your ball, signore?" said Ricordo
quietly. 81 believe it is the law
that there are no stymies in a three
bail match"
He said this because Sprague
stood waiting for him to play.
If it is a stymie. certainly" he
said. almost angrily.
Look for yourself" said the
stranger.
Sprague looked. Very well, I'll
play it out" he said.
He cast hasty glance around.
and saw that Olive Castlemaine and
Herbert Briarfield had moved to
the edge of the green; it was Her.
watching the contest.
Sprague measured the distance
carefully, then seizing the putter
he played. The ball rolled to the lip
of the hole, and stopped. His heart
amost ceased to beat. Then per-
haps blade of grass bent or a
breath of wind stirred-anyhow, the
ball dropped into the hole.
Ricordo laughed pleasantly. "Ah,
we halve it, | see," he said
II " III tame All your llIUt 10 90
that said sprague triumphantly
His words had scarcely escaped
his lips when Signor Ricordo's ball
came rolling across the green.
Too lively thought Purvis. but
he was mistaken. It came straight
to the hole and dropped in.
They heard someone clapping on
the edke of the green; it was Her
bert Briarfied, who had been
watching.
We will play it out another day" "
said Sprague.
Signor Ricordo walked away to-
wards the spot where Herbert Bri.

His eyes had half closed again.

choly manifested itself In his face.

Anyhow, ! can't win" said Pur-
Wis. The best can do is to halve
the match with you, Mr.. Ricordo."
But | have chance of winning,
said Sprague by the way, signore,
we've had nothing on the game.
What do you say to stake on this
hole"
''No, Mr.. Sprague, never play
for stakes, except the stake of a
life"
What do YOU mean?'
"A game is always more than a
game to me. 1t has destiny in it.
Thus We are playing for stakes.

What are they?"
'Ah. who can tell? Perhaps for

"Oh, say"
They were now standing on the
eighteenth tee, and the green was
near the club house. Close to the
flag they saw woman and a man.

the green" Ricorio asked of the
caddy who had made his tee and
was moving away.
Yes, zur; ties Miss Castlemaine.

towards the green.
"Ah," said Ricordo, I'VE may be

But fortune favors me now. All, we
are playing for great stake, Mr..
Sprague. Who knows?"
Perhaps the man who is standing
by her side will win her" laughed
Purvis. He hardly knew he spoke.
The man who is standing by
may see most of the game" said
Ricordo, but he never wins-never.
Ii is only the man who plays who
wins. All, gentlemen, discussing the
stakes on a tee is bad preparation
for a stroke. Therefore we will
dismiss the subject. Besides. never

He struck his ball, and although
it flew far, it had what golfers
call Slice" on it. II cleared the
hazard, but curled away to the
right of the large green, at least
twenty yards from the hole. He
made no remark but moved aside
for Sprague to play.
You've got your chance, Sprague,
said Purvis in low tones. "a good
straight shot and you are close to
the tee; it cannot be more than a
hundred and eighty yards"
Sprague felt his hands tremble
He had not missed drive for the
round he determined he would not
miss now. The stranger had made
him feel that the game was a game
OF life. He knew not why, but il
seemed to him that the future would
depend on whether he won or lost

really is, those people said they did
not believe it: that Miss Mason was
en- route to another big house party
at Guthrie and the hostess had date
book already made out for her guests.
In fact, that was really the way
things meant to happen-but didn't.
Miss Mason went to Oklahoma City
the past week on a visit to a big

Austin, Tex, July 19.-Governor
Campbell today submitted TO the stale

A Game Of Golf-A Game Of Life.

Yes, they are required for most
things; but they come. Still, this
match is only just begun yet. Who
knows? | may improve"
This conversation had taken place
while walking from the green to
the tree which in this case was
some little distance.
For the next five holes Sprague
and Purvis played with varying for
tunes, but when the seventh hole
was played the former was one up
AS for RicordO while he greatly
improved, he did not even halve
