sters way of thinking, the girl who
married Billy might well count her
self fortunate.
Dolores greeted him with unaffected
pleasure. "Well, Caliph!" she said.

of a feeling of having returned to her
after an absence of several years.

She knew what her reply would lead

CHAPTER xiii.

John Stuart Webster's agile brain
was the repository of many conflict
ing emotions as he barhed, shaved,
and changed from his soiled khaki
field clothes to a suit of ducks before
presenting himself before Dolores.
Had Billy's courage forsaken him
at the last minute, with the result
that he had gone back to the United
States without having settled the
question of Dolores future? Had he
proposed and been rejected, or had
he proposed, been accepted, and had
his plans for an immediate marriage
vetoed by Dolores?
In either event, why had Billy
failed to leave a note for him at the
Hotel MateO, or mailed him a letter
to the Globo de ORC at San Miguel de
Padua, advising him of the change in
the plan of action outlined for him by
Webster?
In the simplicity of his single-heart-
ed devotion Webster was puzzled to
understand how any woman in her
right mind could fail to fall in love
with Billy Geary. A man he was, from
heels to hair, and a man with pros

Melon Tidbit of Ancients.

Melons were first extensively cult
waited in France early in the seven
teenth century, but were known to the
ancients from the commencement of
our era. The Egyptians grew them.
They are said to have been carried to
America by Columbus, and to the Ma
lay archipelago by the Portuguese. No
other fruit is so variable in foliage and
habit or underRoes 20 many metamor-
phoses by crossing its varieties, all of
which are fertile. They are grown ex-
tensively in Asia, but little care is be-
slowed on their cultivation, and they
consequently never improve. They
grow on sandbanks left dry by the fall
ing rivers; if near a town a portion of
the crop can be sold, but most of it is
valueless, as it rots if taken any dis
lance by cart or boat.

Webster managed to keep himself
fairly busy around the camp at the

fished, and finally, when that began
to pail on him, his agile mind re-
turned to business and the considera-

he suddenly decided to return to Bue-

At the head of his little cavalcade,
therefore, he rode out one morning
for the railroad, whereat providence,
in it's inscrutable wisdom, ordained
that en- route he should fall in with
no less a parsonage than Don Ricardo

OIL PROSPECTS NOT
BRIGHT IN SOMERSET
Letter From DIR. George Otis Smith
of geological Survey Not
Encouraging

Those interested in oil prospects in
this State will doubtless like to know
just what the biologists think of the
possibilities. The following is taken
from a letter written by George Otis
Smith, director of the u. s. Geologi-
cal Survey, and certainly Is not en-
couraging for such as would undertake
to discover and develop oil properties
in Maine, especially in Somerset or
Piscataquis counties:
? April Il, 1921.
Mr.. Freeman F. Burr, Geologist,
Central Maine Power. Company,
Augusta, Maine.
Dear Mr.. Burr
In reply to your letter of April 8,
enclosing clipping from the Lewiston
Journal:
The only statement that has been
made that can be considered an opin-
ion of a United States geologist is
one contained in letter to Mr.. AL
fred Edmunds of Mars Hill. Maine,
prepared by Mr.. David White, Chief
Geologist of this Survey, and signed
by myself. The paragraph Is as fol-
lows:
mo valid evidence of the presence
of petroleum in Maine has ever been
brought to the attention of the U. s.
Geological Survey. Over large part
of the State the rocks are either
igneous or SO metaporphosed as to
offer no chances for the presence of
commercial amounts of oil In the
areas of Devonian and Silurian rocks
u Not ic hot
oil and gas might be found at points
of favorable anticlinal structure al
though it is regarded as more prob
able that natural gas may be found
there in paying quantities than that
oil will be encountered in commercial
amounts. In fact, the chances for the
latter are considered extremely
slight"
The final expression of opinion that
the chances for commercial oil in
Maine are extremely slight hardly
comedies with the statement in the
Lewiston Journal to the effect that
the opinion of the United States ge-
ologist is that oil will sometime be
found in Maine.
Anyone who is at all familiar with
lne Sidte pell VI Ilocdldquls anu
Somerset counties must appreciate
how inhosptable an environment this
would be for oil. However diversified
its mineral resources, county in
which regional metamorphsm has so
far advanced as to convert black shales
into best quality roofing slate has no
reasonable expectation of finding oil in
commercial amounts within Is or 20
miles of the slate where pounger unal-
tered rocks are not present
Very truly yours,

Director

Good VIII Receives Unusual Gift

At recent conference of Supt
George W. Hinckley of the Good viii
Farm institution with Albert Jewell
of Fairfield and Frank Besse of Gin
ton, Mr.. Hinckley was informed that
an agreement had already been reach
ed by which the Good Will Home As
sociatipn was to become the owner of
the $50 acres more or less lot of wood
land which has been Numbered the
past four seasons by Jewell &c Son.
Mr.. Jewell had made some conces-
sions; Mr.. Besse had purchased the
property and would present it at once
to the Association. March 10th the
Legislature at Augusta passed an act
creating game preserve In the town
OF Fairfield consisting of land of the
Good Will Home Association and land
belonging to John Plummer, j. Rus
sci Barrett and G. w Hinckley. These
$50 acres just presented to Good Will
by MIR. Besse will be added to the
preserve, but will be known as the
Besse Reservation, and the tract on
which hunting is prohibited, will be
approximately 1900 acres. While for
estery and the conservation of wild
life was the chief consideration. there
Ia considerable wood which will be at
once available for the Good viii Home.
The Jewel camps are situated on the
reservation and will be of real service
in the general plan at Good Will.
