But 1 thought as they sent for me"
 Babe Littlefords fingers held tightly to his. 1t was me that sent fo' you"
 She turned her face the other way. Il was so lonesome, Bill Dale!"
 Robert McLaurin's wife, Patricia, visited Babe twice daily, and friend ship that was none the less warm for being unique sprang up quickly be- tween them. Patricia declared to her husband that she was going to keep Babe-whom she was already calling by her proper name, the same being Elizabeth-and educate her. There was room in the bungalow, Patricia said; and she really needed company, because Bobby was away 50 much.
 Babe accepted little Mrs. McLaurin's $ offer as soon as Bill Dale convinced her that she wouldn't be merely an ob- ject of charity. The hill brides first law is that one must pay for what he gets-and it's probably the first law God laid down for old Adam in Eden. Ben Littleford seemed bewil- dered and blue when they told him of the arrangement, but he voiced no ob- jection. Dale pressed upon him q loan of a hundred dollars, and or dered him to give it to his daughter, which he did. Elizabeth Littleford, Of course, would need new clothing.
 T aint even got any dresses at home" she whispered to Patricia, but two."
 Sill Dale was sure now that he loved Babe, and he was almost sure that she cared for him. But he was quite properly in no haste to come to an understanding. He had known all along that Babe would have to be educated! and woman's tastes, he reasoned, might change with educa- tion. And he wanted her to have the opportunity of knowing other men of his class. If she couldn't love him with lasting love, he didn't want her to love him at all.
 Oddly or not, he never thought of Jimmy Payne.

Dale was jubilant. Here was rare stroke of good fortune. He went to McLaurin-who had not yet found John Moreland and Ben Littleford- and told him about it. NIcLaurin was almost as happy as Dale over it. A bellboy appeared like jack-in-the-boS in the center Of the floor. "Mistoh Cahlyle Dale! Mistoh Cahlyle Dale !''
 Dale wheeled. "WelIY'

 Dale shook hands with McLaurin and hurried toward the street.
 A few minutes later Doctor Braemer met him in the reception room.
 What's wrong, doctorY'
 The surgeon beckoned. Come with me-"
 He turned and led the way through a long corridor and to a sunny white room where Babe Littleford lay with a bandage about her temples. Ben Lit tleford was on his knees at his daughters bedside; he was slowly wringing his big, rough hands and beg ging piteously to be forgiven.
 Babe stared at him trifle coldly. She had not yet seen the two men who

CHAPTER VIII.

Major Bradley and Henderson Golf
 When Bill Dale, the expert mining man Hayes and the two mountaineers stepped from short passenger train at the Halfway switch, they were ap- preached by the moonshiner, Heck, and q man whom Dale had never seen before He was tall, and his bearing was erect and soldierlike, though he was every day of sixty years old. His eyes were blue and tWinEling with everlasting good humor; his gray mustaches and imperial were exceed ingly we'll cared for; his teeth were his own, and as white as school girls, and they bore out his general air of neatnesS. He was, plainly, a Southerner of the old type.
 "Who's that?n whispered Dale to John Moreland.
 But Moreland didn't hear He ran forward with his right hand out stretched, and so did Ben Littleford. Men could not have greeted a brother with more gladness, Dale thought.
 Hi, thar, Major Bradley!p the hill- man cried. And how dye come on today?"
 T am very well, gentlemen, thank you said~ the major, smiling.
 He shook their hands heartily. "The trainmen gave us your message yester- day. he went on, still smiling, and we were delighted to learn that the young woman was out of danger. trust you are all in good health gen. tlemen."
 They assured him that they were. Moreland turned to introduce Bill Dale and the mining man. From the mo- ment that Major Bradley gripped Dale's hand they were friends.
 Mighty glad to know you, sir !" exclaimed the old lawyer. I've been hearing a great deal about you, sir, over in the valley of the Doe. They seem to think there's nobody just like Bill Dale It was Bill Dale this, and Bill Dale that; it was Heres where Bill Dale whipped Black Adam.' CT, Here's where Bill Dale was stand ing when such-and-such happened,' ol, Here's where Bill Dale crossed the fencep"
 ''Hah-hah-hah slugglshly laughed By Heck, who stood leaning on u e muzzle of his rifle. Bill Dale is all right, major ye've shore got my word fo that"
 The. others laughed. Then Jonn Moreland said they'd better be nov ing, or they'd be late for dinner.
 When they had put hundred yards of David Moreland's mountain behind them, the old Southerner tugged s;yIy at Dale's sleeve and whispered:
 "Let us faE behind little, if you please. I want to speak with you privately"
 They began to lag, and soon there was distance of several rods be- tween them and the others.
 T heard through Addie Moreland," began Bradley, his friendly hand on the younger mans arm, ''abolt you and what you're planning to do for the Morelands. l tell you, sir, thanked heaven for your coming, and you may count on me to help in any way I can. The MoreIands are quite friendly to me now, though up to the middle of last summer they didn't like me any too we'll because l made Ben

 You hush, pap, and go away. Pd told ye hunderd times about tightin' a-bein' murder, and specially to us wimmenfolks, and you never would pay any 'tention to me. You hush, pap, and go away. Eff 1 die, I'll jest haf to die. And ef 1 die, l shore do vunt to die in peace. Go way, pap"
 But ye must live, Babe honey '" Ben Littleford moaned. Eff you was to die, what'd 1 do?'
 "I don't know what ye'd do, pap" Babe said weakly. You ought to thought O that afore, pap. IL may be too late now. I want ye to go on off and le' me alone. Eff 1 die, want to die in peace. The Lord knows l never got to live in peace!"
 There was a worried look in her wonderful brown eyes, and the doctor saw it.. He strode forward decisively and helped Littleford to his feet The hillman wiped away a tear with his faded blue bandana, and hung his head He had been made broken man in one day.
 ''Go out to your friend Moreland,' smiled the doctor, and wait there for q little while"
 Babes father walked unsteadily out of the room. Dale went to Doctor Braemer and whispered, Isn't she go- ing to make it?" anxiously
 "Certainly she's going to make if" Braemer assured him. "Go on; she wants to see you"
 Dale drew a chair up close to the white bed and sat down. Babes eyes lighted at once, and she put a hand uncertainty out toward him. Dale took the hand in his. He saw that it was little pale under it's delicate sunburn.
 Glad to see you, Babe" he told her softly. "Why do you think you're go- ing to die, BabeY'
 She smiled at him.. Why, l don't think I'm a-goin' to die" she said. Il know I'm a-goin to live, Bill Dale. feel like 1 could walk fifty miles right now r

Their control is most complete from the standpoint of
organization, they control in large quantities the
production of crude oil in the largest producing States
including California which is the largest; Oklahoma the
next largest, and Texas, Kansas, Louisiana anC
Wyoming the next largest producing States, respectively.
They, combined, producing 400O00OO0 barrels
of oil this year, the other States combined producing
less than 5OOOOOOO barrels.
The British own operate or control in the United
States thousands of of oil producing properties
hundreds of oil wells hundreds of miles of pipe lines
of refneres hundreds of tank and tank ships
and other of producing refining, transportation
and distribution of petroleum products
With such extensive organization and ample financial
backing, which permits them to withstand all possible
fluctuations due to temporary depressons in the oil in
dustry, the British interests successfully compete IN
the American market.
But for the competition of such large American groups
the Standard OIL the British could dictate the price
at which they would buy from the thousands of American
oil producers and the thousands of American oil reners
and the price at which gasoline would be sold to the
American public.

BRITISH CLOSED DOOR" POLICY UNFAIR.

This review of the extensive British oil operations in
the United States, where the British are permitted to
operate without restriction, brings out with additional
emphasis the unfarness of the British ''cosed door,
policy, which excludes Americans from operating oil
properties British controlled lands the same basis
British nationals.
1t is evident that the oil notes transmitted to Great
Britain by Secretary of State Colby and his successor
Secretary Hughes which strained the diplomatic relations
of the two countries, based the broad principles
of natural justice
The conflict created by the British 'closed door,
policy has not yet been settled The United States de-
mands for equal opportunities for American nations to
acquire explore, operate and develop oil properties in
lands controlled by the British have been backed and
endorsed by President Harding Secretary of State
Hughes, and the leaders of both Houses of Congress
Owing to the Importance of the oil question: oil being
the vital factor in running the national machinery ana
maintaining industrial leadership and national defense
the oil question will have to be decided at the Washington
conference.

agreement to control the oil of the Pacific will
