On the island of zante, Greece, there
are to be found what are locally call
ed pitch springs They are at the
southern end OF the island in a broad
swampy basin, shut in on three sides
by mountains and open on the fourth
side to the sea They are really
springs of crude petroleum which ac-
eording to analysis is of a very high
degree Of purity.
The petroleum issues from the earth
IL water basins, oozing up through
the mud in drops which break and
spread upon the surface of the water.
The row is very slow in the several
springs. not amounting to more than
a few gallons day The springs
were mentioned by Greek historian
some four centuries before Christ
They seem to have been considered
merely as a curiosity until about fifty
years ago.

pony suddenly took the bits between

to be commended than otherwise. So,
for few breathless seconds, she let
him have his w:lful way
Betty couldn't control Tom as east
ly as she had thought she could Much
of the contempt died out OF her heart
to make room for the dismay that
caused that very essential organ to
pump convulsively.
Betty Braden even So far forgot her
self as TO saw amatemishly at Che

scream Of fear escaped her.

Tom had. not so very many years

scintillant in the selected f0ur-fooued
set of sawdust stars with the Great
