CHAPTER xvlll-contInued.

"Ah, yew young rascal" cried Sam
uel. "Yew're the feller that eat up
all my winter cabbages."
At this uncanny reading OF his
mind Mr.. Cottontail darted OF into
the woods again to seek out his mate
and inform her that their guilt had
been discovered
Finally, Samuel came to the break
In the woodland, an open field of rye.
green as springtime grass, and his
own exquisitely neat abode beckon-
Ing across the gray rail fence to him.
How pretty Blossy's geraniums
looked in the sitting-room windows!
Even at this distance, too, he could
see that she had not forgotten to wa
ter his pet abutilon and begonias. How
welcome in the midst of this furry OF
snow-how welcome to his eye was
that smoke coming out Of the chin
neys! All the distress of his trip away
from home seemed worth while now
for the Joy of coming back.
Before he had taken down the fence
rail and turned into the path which led
to his back door, he was straintng his
ears for the sound of Blossy's voice
gossiping with Angy. Not hearing 1t,
he hurried the faster.
The kitchen door was locked. Tne
Key was not under the mat; it was not
In the safe on the porch, behind the
stone pickle-pot. He tried the door
again, and then peered in at the win
dow.
Not even the cat could be disosrned.
The kitchen was set in order, the
breakfast dishes put away, and there
was no sign OF any baking or prepare
tions for dinner.
He knocked, knocked loudly. No
answer. He went to q side door. to
the front entrance, and found the
whole house locked, and no key to be
discovered. It was still early in the
morning. earlier than Blossy would
have been likely to set out upon an
errand or to spend the day and then.
too, she was not one to risk her
health in such chilly, damp weather,
with every sign of q heavy storm.
Samuel became alarmed. He called
sharply, Blossy!" No answer. mis-
Rosel" No answer. "Hxal" And
still no sound in reply.
His alarm increased. He went to
the barn; that was locked and Ezra
nowhere in sight By standing on tip
toe, however. and peeping through a
crack In the boards, he found that his
horse and the two-seated surrey were
missing.
"Waal. never" grumbled Samuel,
oonsoioua onoe mora Of all hia phySical
discomforts. "The minute my backs
turned, they 30 a-gallivant1n'. I bet

There was nothing left for him to

LOOKS LIKE OIL.

VIM. Cody, the well driller, was in
town Monday. Mr.. Cody is the man
who struck coal on the Ed. Hall place
short distance east of Oroville some
three months ago, mention of which
was made in the Gazette at the time
Mr.. Cody stated that the drill indicat-
ed that the coal vein was some three
and a half feet in width, and the quail
ity of the coal is said to be excep-
tionally good. The strange feature OF
this strike is that the owner of the
land upon which the coal was found
has made no further effort to explore
or exploit the find. A coal mine near
this place would be a better thing for
the owner than a gold mine. Recently
Mr.. Cody has been drilling a we'll on
the Elton G. Rice place south of town
and is already down some 220 feet. He
started with an eight inch casing
changing to six inches at depth OF
200 feet. The six inch casing buckled
and work was temporarily suspended
However, Mr.. Cody believes that he
can overcome the difficulty and eX-
poets to go on with the work. After
passing through granite at 200 feet
the drill struck slate and sandstone
:. I Stanton, who has had some ex-
pcri5nce with oil lands, expresses the
opinion that the drill is liable to
strike Gil, considering that there are
indications of coal on both sides of
the valley, and that in countries
where oil has been struck the drills
generally pass through slate and
sandstone into sand just before en-
countering oil. 1t is worth the in
vestment for Mr.. Rice to continue
sinking. Should he strike flow OF
water that result would be of ines
Unable value to the valley, and il
such fortunate event occur as strik-
ing oil that would create boom for
the valley of greater magnitude than
would follow successful mining, ir-
rigatlon or anything else in the way
of human endeavor.
