GAS WOULD NOT BURN.

Lincoln. Aug. 12.-Week before last
Nels Mohr was drilling a we'll out on
the Vancura place, the old Scherrner-
horn and Lang ranch, in Highland
township. and when the drill had
reached depth of about $50 feet It
dropped into a cavity about IS inches
deep. AT once a gas, appearing like
smoke, comm enced rushing from the
well making roaring noise which
could be easily heard quite a long
distance
This occurred in the late afternoon,
and the same condition existed the
following morning. At that time no
water had been found, but Mr.. Mohr
started the drill again and put the
well down another 20 feet, where a
strong flow of water was found But
in spite of the water which rose about
35 feet deep in the well, the roaring
continued. The gas was not natura!
or illuminating gas. but probably only
gas. such as is sometimes found where
such cavities are penetrated. AR.
Mohr thought at first that he had
struck a gusher of valuable natural
gas.

Father Geronle's Swim
By George Maurevert.

FATHER GEROME is looking anx-
- iously about. The place is seclud-
= ed. charming and most inviting.
The little cove is sheltered from the
wind by high pineclad rocks. Oh he
| other side Of the bay, far away. you get
a distant view of Lanvezeps blue hills.
Like giant butterflies resting on the
waves, with all their brown sails set,
the fishing boats of Douarenez are
gliding by with the wind right astern.
A single boat with white sails is bare
" visible near Lanvezel It is the
judge fishing. He has good eyes, the
old Judge, but he would never be able
to recognize father Gerome at that dis
tance.
Father Gerome is alone, quite alone.
The sun is burning fiercely, sea and
sky are equally blue, equally calm. Not
sound is heard except the shril1 cries
of the seagulls and the soft wash of the
waves against the rocks of the shore.
Father Gerome hesitated a moment.
then takes off his cassock, folds it
carefully and places it on the flat
rock which the sea will not reach for
another three hours at high tide. Then
he divests himself of his shoes with
the heavy silver buckles, his grey
moleskin trousers and his stockings.
Then dressed in nothing but his shirt,
he again looks cautiously about, but
nobody is near. After that he puts on
a pair of white trunks with black
stripes, takes off his hat, his shirt and
his scapular and places everything on
top of his cassock, but he keeps on his
first communion medal and the other
two he received for, his pilgrimages to
Sainte Anne d'Auray' and Notre Dame
de Rinnegol
Then, his fat, good natured face
beaming with happy anticipation, faith
er Gerome trips towards the inviting
sea. The little waves play about his
naked feet Father Gerome advances
slowly. his fat arms folded across His
broad chest his shoulders tremble, bis
cheeks fill out and he sighs and holds
his breath. Courage, father Gerome,
couragei He plunges bravely into the
cold water, which now reaches the place
where his waist is supposed to be.
One, two, threei Father Gerome shuts
his eyes and swims away from the
shore.
He swims really we'll. Father &C.
rome. His embonpoint keeps him afloat
like a cork and all he has to do is to
move his arms and legs to propel him
self He is already almost a hundred
metres from the rock. He stops and
draws in the fresh salt air in deep
breaths Resting on his back his arms
folded across his chest, his body mo-
tionless. immersed to his ears, father
NGerome gazes at the blue sky and
thanks heaven for this bliss.

under his feet It is with evident re.

and begins to walk towards the spot
where he left his clothes.
But where are the clothes now?
He is positive he left them on that
flat rock. He looks right and lerr-
nothingi they must have been stolen
1t is not with cold he is trembling
now, It is with fear. There is nc
doubt. somebody has carried off his

Trembling. father Gerome looks to-
wards the spot where the hooking
voice comes from. And he sees there,
standing on rock five or six metres
above the shore, laughing with all her
heart, Yvonne lie Guerrec. daughter of
grocer in his parish, a pretty, red
haired imp of a girl, with laughing
eyes, gay as a bird and mischievous as
a kitten
In her arms she holds his clothes and
she laughs worse than ever as she sees
the stupid expression on his face.
Father GerOme is furious
Are you not ashamed of yourself
Give me back my clothes quickly I
am going to tell your father about this,
and then you will be sorry"
Yvonne laughed louder and more
merrily than ever
Give me back my clothes right now,
you mink, or I will come and get them
in a minute"
"oh, do come and get them, father
Gerome, if you darei"
Father Gerome sets his teeth and
makes one or two steps toward the
shore, then he looks at himself and
bushes No, of course not. He cannot
get out of the water
Listen, father Gerome, 1 will give

two others which were unsealed, plain

pamphlet and two papers.
Still without looking, she separated
the three possibilities from the others.
One Of these was from Warren! She
repeated it over and over. The
thought that she was mixing mental
science and childish pagan supersti-

lazily as she passed. Whatever her alb

without stopping to pet it, And now

mured

And the cat b1inked and purred at

was beating painfully. Then, sudden
ly, with a catch in her throat she
spread out the letters before her-and
