In certain Of the petroleum produc-

some times in opening an oil we'll,
some times when the well has become
clogged or apparently exhausted, to be-
gin or renew the flow by exploding
nitroglycertne at the bottom Of the we'll.
This explosive is employed because 1t
Is exploded readily by the dropping of

nftroglycerine from we'll 10 well for
this purpose is known in the oil
regions as a shooter
The shooter has a wagon I'm which Ia

when 1t has been solidly filled with
cans OF nitroglycerine, which is a mo-

mockery raised in me suddenly a

blindly. my arms were about her,
crushing her to me with a sort Of
savage fury. The mockery was gone
from her eyes now; she tried to
beat me off, then, with a little sob,
hid her face upon my shoulder. But
pity was not in me, only a fierce
exulting, and I raised her face. I
lifted. her lips to mine and kissed
them desperately, ~passionately, again
and again.
Then I released her and stood
erect, my blood on fire, a great Joy
at my heart.

CHAPTER VII.
! Dare and Am Forgiven.

For a moment she did not stir, only
sat there crushed and dazed, star
ing straight before her, as though
not understanding what had happened.
And. looking down at her, my mood
Of exultation in my triumph changed
suddenly to n OF pity for her weak
ness. I had felt precisely the same
emotion many times before, when, hav-
ing brought down a bird or a rabbit
by some daring or difficult shot I came
20 the spot where my victim lay bleed
ing its life out. Pity for my victim
always outweighed the satisfaction
which the successful shot had given
me, and I would tramp sadly home,
resolved to hunt n more. What right

tures2 What right had / to bring suf-

OF a mile away In one direction and an

The shooter" generally takes from
80 TO $40 quarts Of nitroglcerine In his

care to the bottom of the we'll. This
operation is repeated until the shoot

as a "go-devil," Is dropped into the

HISTORIC ADOBE
MAY BE DOOMED
Effort to Be Made to Preserve
Relic of Spanish Regime
at the Preside

Rumors have arisen within the last
few days that the tentative plans for
the rebuilding of the Preside post con-
tain clause which will mean the de-
struction of one of the oldest buildings
on the peninsula of San Francisco. the
little adobe occupied by the officers
club. which is a relic of Spanish occu-
patton
It is reported that Bligadier General
Aleshire. quartermaster general of the
armw during his recent visit here,
looked upon that site and decided that
it would be ideal for a new administra-
ton building
Within the year the Coast artillery
corps viii all he stationed at the new
post in process of construction near
Fort Winfield Scott at Fort Point. What
is now the center of affairs at the Pre-
sidio viii be given up to the cavalry and
infantry. All tee old buildings, as rap
idly as money can be secured from con-
gress, viii be replaced by new and mod
ern quarters and offices. The old wood
en- houses which have been standing for
so many years will be torn down and
brick, stone or concrete erected instead.
But the razing eof the historic old
adobe will be another matter. and a
movement is even now being discussed
among those interested in the preserva-
tion Of early California buildings to
send petition TO General Aleshire ask
ing. If the reports be true, that he re-
consider the plans.
The building was erected about 1915,
when the Spanish first established their
military post at the Preside. 1t was
i.
made use Of by the Americans for the
same purpose when. they raised their
flag November 8, 1850. For the last 50
or 40 years it has been used as a club
house and hop room. The three double
sets of officers quarters built of adobe
which remained from the Spanish times,
were destroyed by the earthquake in
1906. and the clubhouse is the only one
remaining.
1t is generally believed that when
General AIeshire's attention is called to
the historic value of the little one story
adobe, he VIII see that it is preserved as
a part of kthe traditional romantic life
of early California
Major George Mex. Williamson, con-
structing quartermaster of the army in
this city, said in regard to the matter:
Il have heard nothing of the plan to
place the new administration building
on that site and I do not believe that
General Aleshire has, as yet. made any
plans save Of the most tentative nature.
Any ideas he may have now as TO where
the new buildings are to he placed
probably Will undergo many changes in
his mind before he evolves any definite
schemes. / am sure that any plan for
preserving historic features would meet
with General Aleshire's approval. al
though l. of course, am in no position
to know anything of it"
