TOWN HAS FAITH

Oklahoma Settlement Believes

NORMAN, Okla.--Here is the seat
OF oklahoma university. which natur
ally forms the most scientific and In
credulous community In Oklahoma
Yet Norman grinned when II read q
recent bulletin issued by the United
States Geological Survey warning the
public against giving oredence TO the
claims Of persons who allege that by
various devices they are able TO locate
underground supplies Of water.
The bulletin calls attention to the
simple forked branch OF witch basel
leach or other tree, AS well as I'd
elaborate mechanical or electric con
trivances. The director OF the geo
logical survey brands all such persons
"a fakirs.
At heavy cost Norman failed re-
peatedly In early days to obtain a
supply OF good water. Always the
water was or poor quality, One day
a farmer living east Of town, and
who claimed TO be expert with the
dlvining rod said he could nnd un-
limited quantities Of good water. Nor
man laughed at him.
He offered to make the location and
bore test well if the city would
bind itself to pay his estate the roy
atty OH all water used for twenty
five years.
At the appointed time the farmer
appeared with his forked stick. and,
after considerable manipulation, the
sick twisted In the farmers fingers
and pointed downward.
Right here" said the farmer. I'VE
will drill for water"
Rigging was set up and work begun.
AT depth OF about 500 feet. In solid
rock. flow o: water was struck that
made Norman gasp IN astonishment.
The farmer had found water.

When Mortimer returned from the
telephone, saying that Wadswortn
would be right over. he asked George
to explain fully what was going on.
It was rather a long story. George
managed to get through it with a CO.
herency understandable, but no more.
George inspected the revolvers care
fully to see If they were loaded.
The bell rang, and Arthur Wads-
worth came in. Mortimer knew him;
George did not. He drew his interest
as it fell due and deposited 1t in an
other bank. That was the extent OF
his relations with Arthur Wadsworth,
president Of the Northumberland
Bank of New York.
Arthur was small, thin, blond like
his brother, but the hair was SO light
upon the top Of his head that he gave
one the impression that he was bald.
His eyes looked out from behind half
shut lids; his cheeks were cadaver-
GUS; his pale lips met in a straight,
unpleasant line. There was not the
slightest resemblance between the
two brothers, either in their bodies
or in their souls. George recognized
this fact Immediately. He disliked the
man instinctively, Just as he could
not help admiring his rogue Of a
brother.
II want you to go with me to my
house at once" began George.

George ,disliked the voice ven more

complained.

The four Of them passed out Of tn

DANCER 10 AvIators.

II 10 difficult to determine the cause
of most aeroplane accidents, but dur
ing the investigation which followed
the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sc
velle recently in France an important
discovery is said to have been made
by eye-witnesses. This was that the
wing Of his Bleriot broke downward
instead of upward, indicating that
there was an extreme downward press
ure as the operator started to vol
plane. Experiments lately made in
France are said to have confirmed this.
and It is now believed to be necessary
to guy the wings as substantially
above as below.
