The GYPSY Rover" Is In three
acts and Is built around the char

Rob is stolen when an infant. by his
nurse, Meg, who later becomes the
wife OF Mario, gypsy. Rob growi

parents.
II happens one day, while riding
with her fiance, Lord Craven. Lady
Constance Martendale becomes lost
in the woods. They wander to the
gypsy camp, where Constance and
Rob meet and fall in love at first
sight. Craven objects to Rob's atti-
tude. but In very funny comedy
scene with Mario and Sinfo, he Is
made to tell Sir George, who later
comes in search of Constance, that
Rob is a charming young fellow.
In Act Two Rob goes to the home
of Constance and serenades her.
They plan to eiope, but are over

George, and plans are made to cap
ture Rob. This Is successfully ac-
complished and Rob is thrown into
prison, but later escapes
Two years elapse and Rob has
come into his estates, his identity
having been proven by Meg. He be-
comes successful composer a
friend of the Prince, and a social
lion. Constance has remained true
to her love for Rob and on his re-
turn to England, he wooes and wins
her for his wife. AS Rob says, "The
good fairies have led me to the
beautiful country after all, and our
story, Constance, can end In the
proper way, "They lived happily
ever after"
There are also pretty love affairs
between Nina and Capt. Jerome, and
Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy
scenes by Sinto and Mario. Space
prevents giving more than thread
of the plot.

success he Is meeting with has not
been made known here. In addition
to this, Oklahoma City parties have
been working for several weeks on
proposition to assemble acreage
northwest OF the Harness well, ap-
proximately mile distant from 1t
to drill. Some progress has been
made on this proposition, 1t is UNDER
stood, but there are several lease
holders who are refusing to come
through with enough acreage to In
sure the well.
There is hardly week passes that
some activity is not reported look.>
ing toward the promotion of prop0-
sition for the drilling Of well near
the Harness producer. Literally
dozens of these schemes are said to
have been talked and worked on,
but as yet none OF them have
materialized. There are two or three
such plans hatched months ago and
which are still alive. 1t Is the idea
Of oil men that some OF these will
bear fruit during the spring months
and result in the drilling OF a new
we'll in territory which the Harness
we'll proves to be oil producing.
Reports have come from the well
west Of Chickasha, known as the
Verden well, being Just south OF that
town. These reports state that the

say, on this rock, but it buckled and

know the condition OF the Verden

we'll to be about $500 feet deep.
Others, who pose as being equally

nearer 5000 feet than 1t is 1890.
There are more 1900 reports than
