TWO DRILLS FOR TENINO-LITTLE
ROCK.

With the ordering the other day
of heavy combination Standard Ro-
tary drill for starting it's operations
in the Olymipa-Tenino field the Teni-
no-Little Rock company will be ready
to spud in its first well within the
next week, according to President
James NJ. Cattenach of the company.
The company has ordered two big
rigs for it's development work, and
both rigs will soon be on the ground.
Agents of the company have con-
tracted for the timber for the two
derricks which will be erected in the
field in time to be ready for the in
stallation of the drills when they ar
rive.
The Tenino-Little Rock people
have a large number of acres under
lease in the Olympia-Tenino field and
will spud in on two tracts of ground
at about the same time. The COM
Ipany's leases surround Crescent land
in all parts of the field, and President
lCattanach is most optimistic over the
possibilities of bringing in several
producing wells on property his COM
pany controls.

Inc famous painting was to be her
wedding present to Suzanne and its
value would increase every year
Perhaps there were other treasures
among the rubbish, and the attic was
carefully searched and a few more
valuable articles were found and sold
to dealers, but there were no more
paintings.
Nine. de Lourdy never grew tired
looking at the pastel and always told
how she had come near letting it lie
on the floor, because it was SO dusty;
that fortunately she had known
enough about paintings to look at it
more closely
In the meantime the Paris papers
heard about the painting and from
all over France art lovers came to
look at 1t and admire it.
Very Restless.
Nine. de Lourdy had it fastened to
the wall very securely and always
went along when visitors came to see
it. The thought that somebody might
rob her of it became a fixed idea with
her and made her restless
When Mona Lisa was stolen from
the Louvre she bought a couple of
hloodhounds, had new locks put on all
the doors and steel shutters outside
every window in the house.
At last she ordered the painting
hung in her bedroom in a kind of safe
built into the wall.
The fear of losing 1t ruined her
health, and when Suzanne at last be-
came engaged and had received the
painting as a gift, Nine. de Lourdy
took to her bed, from which she never
arose.
Suzanne's fiance was a rich young
man. who greatly admired the picture
for its own sake, but he did not think
1t a genuine Latour. He believed 1t
to have been painted by Houin, pu-
pill of Latour.
One day when he was sitting In
the sickroom with Suzanne and the
nurse he took the picture down, re-
moved the wooden back and under
meath he found Houin's signature.
He called Suzanne and showed 1t to
her.
Just at that moment Nine. de Lour-
dy opened her eyes, and when she
saw the two young people examining
the picture she was seized with a
sudden fear and asked in a trem-
bling voice. What is the matter, Su-
zanne?"
The young gin. with wonderful
presence Of mind, smiled and replied
Imagine, grandmother, Lucien has
found. Latour's signature on the pic

least four hundred thousand francs"
-Four hundred thousand francs"
Whispered the old lady, with a happy
smile.
