ridge of nitroglycerine ahead of it
as a pea is propelled out Of a pea
shooter. 1t was a phenomenon by
no means unusual in a we'll as un-
stable in its balance Of forces as
this one. In fact, under like con-
ditions none but a mailman would
have dared to risk Maddox's man
euver.
The latter had not put fifty feet
behind him when up out Of the
we'll mouth shot the cleaning tin
cylinder. Directly above and in
Its path hung the massive forty
foot steel bit suspended from its
wire cable.
What happened next the observ-
|ers were never able to agree
upon, but the world dissolved into
an inferno of smoke and flame and
the suddenness of it rocked the
sky, upheaved the earth. The two
came together with a cataclysmic
roar. Furlong and Betty Durham
were tossed headlong, flung
down like straws. When they
scrambled to their feet, 1azed,
shaken, terrified, it was to find
themselves enveloped in a mighty
dust cloud. The eighty-foot tower
of heavy timbers was gone; in an
instant it had utterly vanished.
Where it had stood was a shallow,
smoking crater. Splinters of
planking, debris of every sort,
were scattered far and wide; par
ticles of earth and gravel were
raining from the heavens with the
sound of a heavy h~ailstorm; moth
ing in the neighborhood of the
we'll remained except the boiler and
engine, and the former lap upon
its side. Even the bushes had been
whipped out, uprooted, shaved
off as by a sweeping scythe.
That afternoon Furlong's friend,
the engineer, came over to the
farmhouse with a considerable
bundle in his arms.
Flows Betty?" he inquired.
'She's all right, but pretty well
bruised, of course" .
"Well, l guess there's nothin'
more us boys can do, SO we're

go, Ben. He knows what he's do
ing. You've got no right stop
ping him. You'll just make trou-
BE"
''It's none of my business" the
latter agreed, impatiently, "but
agreed, impatiently, "but there's
something crooked" He ceased
speaking then he seized Betty and
whirled her around with the sharp
Command, run! Get back"
They were still perhaps a humid
red yards from the we'll, but Fur
longs practiced eye had seen some
thing that suddenly raised the hair
upon his head. That rope from
which was suspended the heavy
charge of liquid death no longer
b ung vertically, it no longer ran
yer the block and into the casing;
instead it was falling in loops about
Maddox. 1t was coming up out
of the we'll!
Maddox himself was alive to
what had happened. That which
he most greatly feared had come
upon him, and he also turned to
flee. But the platform was slip
perry or else he tripped over the
rope and fell. The others heard
his cry of TERROR. He quickly re-
gained his feet, but to Furlong it
seemed as if his movements there
after were ,maddeningly slow and
deliberate.
The engineers apprehensions
had been we'll grounded. Once
again gas had been released far
down in the earth, and now, like
breath forced from the lungs Of
some tortured giant, it rose, pro-
polling the smoothly fitting cart

working as he stormed:
"Wait! Wait till she gets back
here!"
"You can't lay your hands on a
woman"
"Can't II" he breathed.
Betty shook her head; a moment,
then a new expression slowly crept
into her eyes; her chin set itself
firmly. "No!" she declared. "But
you can lay 'em on her trunk and
drag it out here where l can pack
lit" .
II sure can," Ben agreed. "And
what's more, when you get it
packed I can lug it out to the gate
where it will be nice and handy
for her" As he finished speaking
his frown disappeared; it was re-
placed by a grin and he said: |"Say.

the mesquite. AS they went the
girl continued to implore him not
to interfere.
Halfway to the drilling camp
they met the engineer fastening
towards the farmhouse, and the
latter announced, breathlessly;
"Tiller's gone plumb off his nut!
He's goin' to shoot the we'll him
self. You better stay clear"
Furlong dashed past the speaker
and emerged from the shelter Of
the bushes in time to see Maddox
gingerly swing a long, cylindrical
tin over the we'll mouth and guide
it into the opening. A new man
lila rope had been run through a
block on the derrick, and with this
he lowered the charge.
Ben PEELED at him; he waved his
arms. Maddox glanced over his
shoulder, then let the line slide
smoothly through his hands.
"Take my tip an don't go too
close" the engineer shouted. "He
amt no powder man an that wells
maxim gas. She blows off every
few minutes"
Betty seconded this warning in
