black skirts, leaving George mystlfed
but incurlous.
In truth, however. he was neither so
comfortable nor so imperturbable as
he appeared. He felt some gratifica-
tlon; he had done little TO put the
man in his place-that man whose In
fluence upon his daughter was precise
ly the same thing as a contemptuous
criticism Of George ANDERSON Nina
fer. and Of George ANDERSON Nina
fer's "ideals of life." Lucy's going
away without n word was intended,
he supposed, as bit of punishment.
Well, he wasn't the sort of man that
people were allowed to punish; he
could demonstrate that to them

Isabel came to Georges door that
night and, when she had kisesd him
goodnight, she remained in the open
doorway with her hand upon his
shoulder and her eyes thoughtfully
lowered, so that her wish to say some
thing more than goodnight was evil
dent. Not less obvious was her per-
plexity about the manner Of saying
It; and George. divinlng her thought,
amlably made an opening for her.
'Well, old lady" he said. indulgent-
ly, 'you needn't look so worried.
won't be tactless with Morgan again.
After this I'll just keep out of his
way"
'Dear," she said, 'I wish you'd tell
me something: Why don't you like Eu-
genep
ooh, like him well enough" George
returned, with a short laugh, as he sat
down and began to unlace his shoes
~ like him we'll enough--in his place"
"NG, dear she said hurrledly. "Tye
had q feeling from the very first that
you didn't really Ike hlm--that you
really never liked him. I can't under
stand 1t, dear; don't see what can be
the matter"
"Noihing's the matter"
This easy declaration naturally
failed to carry great weight, and Isa-
bel went on. in her troubled voice: ut
seems so queer, especially when you
feel MS you DO about hls daughter"
At this, George stopped unlaclng his
shoes abruptly and sat up. "How do
feel about his daughter?" he de-
manded.
"Wcll, It's seemed-as if--as IT,"
Isabel began tlmdly. at did seem
AZ least, you haven't looked at any
other girl ever since they came here
and--certainly you've seemed very
much interested in her. Certainly
you've been very great friendsi"
"Well, what of that2"
'Its only that I'm like your grand
father: can't see how you could be
so much interested In girl and-and
not feel very pleasantly toward her
father"
"Well, I'll tell you something"
George said slowly, and frown of
concentration could be seen upon his
brow. as from profound effort at
self-examination. "The truth is,
don't believe I've ever thought Of the
two together, exactly-at least. not
until lately. I've always thought Of
Lucy Just as Lucy. and of Morgan just
as Morgan. I've always thought of
her as a person herself. not as any
body's daughter. II have friend, !

to like my friends relatives. Now.

Prospects for Oil in NO1ubes
County Said to be Good.

The following letter. received this
week from DIR. Hamilton Gaines, well
known in this county, and especially in
Brooksville, where he spent his boy
hood days, viii be read with interest.
The letter is sef-cxplanatory, and IS
as follows:
Nashville, Tennessee
U. S. Army Rect'g Sta,
April 23rd, 1920.
Editor Of the Beacon.
Dear Sir-A few days ago | had the
pleasure of talking to very promi-
nent geologiSt and man that helped
to locate the famous oil fields of Texas
near Ranger, and he said to me that
there were strong indications of oil in
NoXubee county, Mississippi, west Of
the towns of Macon and Brooksvlle.
| read some time ago in your paper
Of the oil meeting that they had in
Macon, and as / came from that neck
OF the woods, | am sending you this
information for what it is worth and
think the people there should go into
this thing for all il is worth and see
what the project viii bring forth, l
am not writing TINS Tor any monetary,
or personal advertisements sake, but
for thte reason that | own land there
and also | have an interest in NoXu-
bee county and its people,
OF course there may not be oil there
but on hearing this oil man and pros
pector speak especially of Noxubee
county, Mississippi, and knowing that
ne did not know he was talking to a
NoXubee county man, it is all the
more reason / want the people there to
know what they have and not let
some one beat them to it.
Of course no one is sure as to this
statement, only it came from a man
that has had some experience in such
matters and can be taken for what it
is worth. With best wisehes,
Yours very truly,
HAMILTON P, GAINES.
