The Fort Ring well, in section 30
lSSw, continues to be the interesting
topic OF this section, but there is
little information to be given out.
There is considerable water and mud
in the hole. and the source of the
water has not been fully determined.
Slushing has brought enough oil out
to satisfy experienced oil men that
there is a good pressure of oil be-
low the water and the general opin-
ion is that the Fort Ring test has
proven the territory between this
location and that of the Magnolia
discovery well in section p lsow
about three miles away. and that
there is now something like eight or
ten square miles OF proven territory
in the Duncan field. The Carter
Oil Company has made location
offsetting the Fort Ring just over
the line, in section 20.

Romance Has Vision.

ment that he wanted mice little

"Has Romance Died?'- is the cap
ton put on the story by an editor who
prints it. That question is easy to an
swer. Romance is deathless. But the
woman who got the inscribed egg had
sense enough to know that the type Of
romance indicated was a fiimsy sort ON
which to build a life work.
Love may be blind, but the true ro-

more substantial foundation than an
eggshell.
May the sentimental youth find a

work if they worked hard--Sauta
preparing for Christmas and Jack
making winds and ice and snow.
Their plan worked very we'll until
Apollo got 50 fond of riding and put
Old Fire-Eater i'll charge.
Old Fire-Eater was always looking
for trouble and like all people who
look for it, he never failed to find
it. At last his search was rewarded.
for just the fall before our story
begins, Jack had been trying out a
new frost-making machine and, not
quite understanding it, had made
two or three early froats by mis-
take. This made Old Fire Eater
fuss and fume and he wouldn't &C
cept any excuse, but declared that if
Jack was going to make frosts be-
fore they were due, he guessed the
sun could do about as he pleased,
too. Ever since then he had tried to
prove that he could, but Jack had
always been ready for him. Each
time the sun appeared out of season,
Jack sent an awful blizzard which
hid the SUN from view and made Old
Fire-Eater decide to leave in a
hurry.
You can understand now what was
on Santa's mind as he rode swiftly
toward the ice Palace. Soon its
lofty towers appeared in the dis
lance, rising up like huge icebergs,
and in another moment he was dis
mounting at the gate.
| A rather glunl-looking Jack met
him at the door, but his face bright
ened up as soon as he saw who his
visitor was and he came forward to
meet Santa with outstretched hand

his face and hands were streaked

and I'll promise to keep you busy"
As yet nothing had ben said about
anything being wrong, both pretend
ing to be perfectly happy, but Jack

the better of him as he went on.

Santa told him as best he could
the happenings of the last II hours
and the reason the Gnomes thought
they had been abused. "But how
DO you know it was mys Gnomes

By this time they were down in
the engine room, and Jack was at
work on the engine, Santa helping
him as best he could As briefly
as possible Jack told him all that

and the SDrtes listened to him until
he made them believe that Santa was
the enemy of all working men and

out that Jack, being such good

him and if things kept on in that
way, before long all their rights
would be taken from them. This,

CHAPTER v.
lack Frost.

Jack Frost was the one friend to
whom Santa could turn for help in
time of trouble. So to him Santa
was now speeding as fast as the
Vixen could go. But as he sped
along he wasn't at all certain that
Jack could be of any more help to
him than he could to Jack. Judging
from the looks OF things, they we're
both in serious trouble. But, even at
that, working together they would
surely be able to do more than each
working by himself. Yes, Santa
thought, as he remembered other
things the two of them had done, to-
gether they would win out no mat
ter how great the odds might be
against them.
Santa knew at once where the
trouble lay. For ever so long, al
most as far back as Santa could
remember, he and Jack had con-
stantly been bothered in their work
by the sun. The Old Man of the Sun
himself was a peaceful old fellow
who spent most of his time smok-
ing and sleeping in the only cool
spot in his rather hot home. In fact,
he had grown so fat and round that
any work was too hard for him even
to think about, and he had long ago
given over the driving OF his speedy
horses to his trusty helper, Apollo.
But Apollo, too, grew lazy, and
hired someone else to do the driving
while he was off racing around the
stars in his pew electric airmobile,
an invention of his own. And that
was where Safta's and Jacks trou-
bles really began. !
The Old Man of the Sun was as
good-natured as anyone could wish,
and Apollo was just like him. But
the new sun driver, Old Fire Eater
everyone soon called him, was full
of mean tricks and spiteful ways
when he had the driving OF the sum
chariot all to himself.
| When Santa first went up north,
he and Jack and Apollo had held a
meeting, and it was decided that
they would have six months day and
six months night This meant that
the sim would shine in the north for
six months, during which time Santa
and Jack could have a vacation and
do as they pleased. Then the sun
would travel south and give them
, six months of night. This allowed
