EXPECTED DEEP TEST
MAY STIMULATE Big
HEALDTON ACTIVITY
Indications In Abandoned Test
Appeared Very Favorable,
Say the Oil Men.

Local oil men are looking forward
with interest TO what promises to be
an extensive revival of drilling in the
old Healdton field, provided that the
results of one test which is expected
TO be drilled some time in the future
proves to be profitable. The date Of
the drilling OF the test is indefinite,
but that it will be put down is prac-
tically an assured fact.
The campaign which may result will
be stimulated If another test is
drilled 20 :he deep sand which was
encountered in the Pure Oil company

9704+2 feet, and which made flow
over the derrick of oil of better than

and cavings developed. and after many
efforts 10 correct matters, II was
found impossible and the abandon.

All the oil men who watched the
development in the Pure or well are
unanimous in opinion that II the hole
would have been in good shape. the
we'll would have made zoo barrel
producer. Should such prove TO be
the case when another such test is
drilled, immediate activity on sur.
rounding leases will result.
An idea Of the extensive nature OF
the operations which would he result

ROOter."
Florence stood close to the pink
shaded electric droplight over her
small white dressing fable, reading
again and agaiN these pathetically
honest little condolences. Her eyelds
were withdrawn to an unprecedented
retirement so remarkably she stared,
while her mouth seemed to prepare
itself for the attempted reception of
hulk beyond its tO,al capacity. And
these plastic tokens, so immOderate
as to be ordinarily the consequence of
nothing short of poignant horror,
were overaid by others, subtler and
more cleaning, which wrought the
true significance of the contortion-a
joy that was dumfounding.
Her thoughts were first of Fortunes
kindness in selecting her for favor
so mraculously dovetailing into the
precise need of her life, then of Henry
and Herbert, each at this hour prob
ably brushing his hair in preparation
for the Sunday evening meal, and both
tOuchingly unconscious of the calami>
ty now Detailing them; but what even
tualy engrossed her mind was the
thought of WaIlie Torbin.
Master Torbin, approaching four
teen, was in all the town the boy
most dreaded by his fellOw-boys. and
by girls Of his acquaintance, including
many of both sexes who knew him
only by sight-and hearing. He had
no physical endowment or attainment
worth mention; but boys, who could
"whip him with one hand" became
sycorhants In his presence; the terror
ne Inspired was moral. He had a spe-
cial acknowledgement of a faculty ex-
erciScd clumsily enough by most hui
man beings, especially in their youth ;
in other words, he had genius-not
however, genius having to do with
anything generally recognized as art
or science. True, If he had been
violnist prodigy or mathematical prod
ICY, he would have had some respect
from his fellows-abOut equal to that
he might have received if he were
gifted with some pleasant Geformity,
such as six toes on a fOOt-but he
would never have enjoyed such deadly
prestige as had actually come to be
his. In brief, then, Walie Torbin had
genius for mOckery.
Almost from his babyhood he had
been child Of one purpose: to liz
crease by CHASTITY burlesque the suf-
ferings of unfortunate friends. If one
of them wept, Wallie necessarily pur-
sued him, yelping in horrid mimicry;
If one were chastised, he could not
