Gas Was Wasted.

Gas was discovered in a we'll drilled

Sherard. not far from the town OF
Greybur. II came In under pressure
and with a reported volume OF 6.000,-
600 cubic feet day. Seventeen
months later the well was stu open
and the gas volume had decreased to
100000 cubic feet. Five months

1907 a company, known az the Big

lied TO put gas on the market at
Greybull and at the town OF Basin,
some six miles distant. This conf

and connected them with the held.

obtained gas. and the outlines OF the

that those OF higher pressure do not
cause q back pressure on the others.
In 1908 the average rock pressure
is reported TO have been 120 pounds:
in 1909, 100 pounds, and in Decem-
her. 1912. to have decreased TO thir-

Obviously. therefore. the production
OF the field has lessened greatly, but
that the rate OF decrease Will con-

There is no doubt. however. that the
failure to close promptly the first we'll

In your own room.
Yours truly,
"ORLANDO BROTHERsON.-
Mr.. Challoner had been called upon
to face many difficult and heartrend-
Ing duties since the blow which had
desolated his home fell upon him.
But from none OF them had he
shrunk as he did from the interview
thus demanded. He had supposed
himself rid OF this man. He had dis
missed him from his life when no had

had come there with q set purpose.
and nothing In heaven or earth could
deter him from II now. Declining the
offer Of q seat. with the slightest OF
acknowledgements In the way of q
bow. he took q careful survey of the
room before saying:

"You have" came in steady assent
as the man thus addressed stepped Ia

We Will not wait a minute How
the storm holds on. hope It will
hold of for another hour"
Mr.. Challoner made no reply. He
had spoken because he felt compelled
to speak. but II had not been easy
for him, nor could any tribes move
him now.
The town was up by this time and,
though they chose the least frequent
ed streets. they had to suffer from
some encounters. II was a good half
hour before they found themselves In
the forest and In sight OF the hangar.
One look that way, and Sweetwater

A murmur OF dismay greeted him.
The oval OF the great lid stood up
against the forest background.

But Sweetwater. laying a finger on

against the door. Then he cast

died on his lips AT the ntaI-$ers :
the forest road debouches intoo the
highway. he had already caught
glimpse of their two figures. They
were waiting for news. and the broth
er spoke at the instant he saw Sweet
water:
Where 10 he? You've not found
him or you wouldn't be coming alone.
He cannot have gone up. He cannot
manage 1t without an assistant. We
must seek him somewhere else; In
the forest or In our house at home.
Ali" The lightning had forked again.
Hes not In the forest and he's not
in your home" returned Sweetwater.
He's aloft; the airship is not In the
shed. And he can go up alone now"
Then more slowly: But he cannot
come down"
They strained their eyes in a mad
dening search of the heavens. But
the darkness had 30 increased that
they could be sure of nothing.
Doris sank upon her knees.
Suddenly the lightning flashed
again this time 80 wildly and so near
that the whole heaven burst into fiery
illumination above them and the
thunder. crashing almost simultane-
ously. seemed for a moment to rock
the world and bow the heavens to-
wards them. Then a silence: then
Sweetwater's whisper In Mr.. Chal-
loner's ear:
Take them away! saw him; he
was falling like a shot"
Mr.. Challoner threw out his arms,
then steadied himself. Oswald was
Keeling; Oswald had seen too. But
Doris was there. When the lightning
flashed again, she was standing and
Oswald was weeping on her bosom.
