and the girl left her companion

and the girl left her companion
outside. She %reappeared in a few
minutes with a lantern and a cou-
pie of patchwork comforters
These latter she surrendered to Ben,
then led the way to the barn.
Like most farms in the oil coun-
try, this one had been allowed to
run down, and with the excep-
ton of some chickens and a few
dispirited cattle there was no live
stock left upon it. There still re-
manned, however, some old fodder;
it was dusty and musty, but suit
able enough for a bed, and Fur
long was delighted with these
sleeping arrangements. He set the
lantern down and walked to the
door with Betty. There he said:

me. l wish that hSh1ng Job had

face burning hotly.
"Tiller tried that and l slapped

her own lack of resentment than
surprised at Furlong's boldness. 81

II wish you would-did. l.

"Queer!" Betty turned to go. A
moment later she called back
through the gloom, "I'll call you
when breakfast is ready"
Furlong was lot altogether sur
prised when,. on the following
morning, Tiller Maddox offered
him a job. Maddox, it was plain,
was acting upon orders, and he
took no pains to conceal his dis
like for the new hand; neverthe-
less, Ben accepted the proffer. A
side from the fact that he needed
work, his interest in Betty Dur
ham was now sufficient to make
almost any sacrifice worth while.
In the days thereafter he tried
to fathom the peculiar relationship
existing between Maddox and the
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1935-10-25

had become the stake in a three
cornered game.
Furlong and Betty meanwhile
managed to see a good deal of each
other, but they met clandestinely.
Neither of them openly referred
to this fact, and, although the girl
pretended that it was her aunt
whom she feared, Ben very we'll
knew that it was Maddox. No
longer, by the way, did he apollo
gize when he kissed her, and their
stolen moments together had be-
come very sweet.
Work on the we'll progressed as
rapidly as could be expected. Inch
by inch, foot by foot, the heavy
steel bits cut through the rock;
length after length was added to
the casing, and as it neared the
level of the oil-bearing structure
the indications" became evident;
occasional signs and gurgles issued
from the we'll mouth as gas gath
cred and released itself. Its odor
was at times quite strong.
1t was at this time that Maddox
and Furlong clashed.
Some new tackle was being slung
and Ben had been sent aloft while
the foreman issued directions from
below. 1t was heavy work. Ben
was forced to cling to the derrick
timbers or to balance himself upon
a narrow plank, and his progress
at times did not suit the elder man..
Maddox was in a surly mood, any
how, and he became profane. Fur
long was hot and irritable. He an
swered back, weherupon the man
below Aared out angri1y:
"You do like I tell you and don't
argue, or: I'll come up there an
give you a dan good beating!"
The rigging wa finally secured
in place and Maddox was occupying
himself with something else when
he felt a hand upon his shoulder.
He turned to find Furlong at his
side. The latter's eyes were blaz-
ing. In "a voice ominously harsh

during this operation, and even
Maddox could find no fault with
the way he did it. When, after
what seemed an interminable time,
the wire cable began to stream up
out Of the depths and wind itself
in smooth, black layers upon the
drum, the two women pressed in
upon the derrick floor.
Out Of the we'll finally slid the
fishing tool; it stopped, hung mo-
tionless with the lower end at the
level of their eyes. The teeth had
bent inward, jammd together by
the blows from above; inside the
basket thus formed and tightly
bitten between two of those prongs
was a battered six-inch piece Of
steel.
When Furlong had finished
washing up he found Betty Dur
ham waiting for him.
"Come over to the house." she
said. "You must be tired"
"I told you I was lucky" the
young man said with a grin.
Lucky nothing. You've got
sense"
Simple, wasn't it? I wonder
MADDOX never thought of it"
Betty stitrSdt impatiently she
exclaimed: "Oh, he's too busy
thinking about something! Say.
We've got an extra room, but Aunt
Mary says it wouldn't look right
for you to sleep there. Don't that
make you sick?"
"FIow about the barn?'
"That's what she proposed. Come
on. Well fix it somehow"
1t was dark; the trail through
the cactus and the mesquite was
dim, but Betty knew it by heart,
and where its meanderings were
indistinguishable she took Furlong's
hand and guided him.
81 suppose you think Aunt Ma
rvs crazy, risking all her money
like this" she said.
II sure do" the man admitted.
"This thing will show you the
chances she's taking. Suppose that
bolt had been something else, some
thing we couldn't get hold of?

"Some people can't be satisfied"
the girl said, quietly. Then after
a moment. "Uncle Joe never in

her. They didn't hitch very well.
He said he was going to leave part
of it to me, butt guess he never

listened to Tiller; there's so many
things a driller can do to a we'll"

Training Youth.

Perhaps 1t was the World War that
taught Europe the wisdom of training
the bodies as well as the minds of the
younger generation. Cynics will be apt
to suggest that the policy was insincere,
that its purpose was the production of
efficient cannon fodder" and that any
thing like life more abundant for the
individuals most directly concerned was
far from the thought Of the sponsors
of the campaign. But that explanation
is too easy. No American travelling
through the British Isles or on the
Continent today can fail to appreciate
the vigorous health, the keen intelli-
gence and the unconcealed joy in exist
.nce which are manifest among young
people everywhere. And it is patiently
evident that the boys and girls them
selves are pretty effectively in control
Of their own destiny. They viii not

Music at the Water Gate.

An experiment in public appreciation
of good music has just been concluded
in the rendition last night of the twelfth
of a series of open-air symphony con-
certs at the Water Gate. 1t has been
a most gratifying and stimulating sue
cess. These twelve concerts, started and
concluded under the inspiring direction
of DR.. Hans Kinder, leader of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra and includ-
ing in the course the services of several
distinguished conductors from other
cities, have drawn an aggregate attend
ance of close to one hundred and twenty
thousand people. The concluding con-
cert last night drew the greatest throng,
more than fourteen thousand.
The hour and the place of the con-
certS have been most effective in making
this success possible. Nowhere else IS
there such setting for an open-air
musical entertainment. The scene Is
in itself an inspiration. The arrange
ments for the accommodation of the
people have been wholly satisfactory
The prices charged for the concerts
have been extremely moderate, just
enough to meet the expenses. That
has been, in large part, the cause of
the great popular success of the expert
ment. Whatever may be the final ac-
counting, there has been large profit
in the development of interest that will
assuredly be manifest in larger patron
age of the symphony concerts next
Winter. For thousands have become
stimulated into a love of good music
that cannot fail to express itself later.
To those who have conceived and
arranged these open-air concerts and
those who have taken part in them, as
directors and musicians and as man.
ayers, Washington owes debt of
thanks. The uplifting influence of the
best music that the genius of composers
has created and that the skill Of inter-
prefers has rendered, must be laStingly
wholesome. Washington has long needed
this influence, which during the past
few years has been exerted in the
Winter season and which now is serving
on a larger scale to advance the cul-
tural development of this community.

against the myriad and deadly fumes
which may be expected in air raids OF
the future. For, he goes on, there Will
be many kinds Of gas, against which no
single protection will serve.
Lord Halsbury takes issue with the
government for giving the British popu-
lace false sense of security against
gas attacks. He says that there are
gases today undreamed of during the
World War, that scientists have been
working on them ever since the
armistice, in France, in Germany, in
Russia and in England, and, he adds,
the United States has new gases about
which the other nations know little or
nothing
This is very dreadful prospect in
deed. 1t means that if it is true that
gas will be the chief weapon of ofienSe
in the next confetti seems almost
a mockery Of civilization to speak Of 1t
in such terms as an inevitability-th
chief sufferers will be the civilians, not
the soldiers of the armies-the people at
home, in the cities and in the fields,
innocent and unparticipating, helpless,
defenseless.
The futility of treaties and interna-
tional pactS restricting the modes OF
warfare has been demonstrated. The
truth is that nation at war cannot be
limited by any such prohibitions as
those that were attempted before the
Great War of 1914 and which were
sought to be established by the treaty
which ended that conflict. There is
no power of compulsion other than that
of the organized military forces which
are only called into being and into
action for war purposes, when any
means of defeating the enemy is re-
garded as legitimate.
The war to end war will probably
never be fought in the sense that 1t
will actually accomplish its purpose.
Nor does it seem possible to limit the
nature and the use of weapons to the
actual field of combat. Yet if the full
truth of what the chemists in their
laboratories of the various nations are
now dong in the devising of means to
destroy the populations in the non
fighting zones were made known to all
the world, there might develop an
effective sentiment against interna-
tional conflict more effective than
treaties.

This is the fourth "age of mammals"
The mammal population Of the earth
today, including man, represents the
fourth "irradiation" of the warm
blooded stock during approximately
180, ,0O0, 900 years since the type first ap-
peared on earth, according to DR..
George Gaylord Simpson of the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History, one
fossil mammals.
Summarizing his studies in the Quar-
terly Review of Biology issued at Johns
Hopkins University, DR.. Simpson pic
lures the evolution of mammals through
the ages as like four successive waves
of q rising tide rather than as a steady
progress upward from q first, reptilian
ancestor. Each wave may have started
afreSh from the reptile stock and each
went little higher than the preceding
one. Three broke and disappeared.
The fourth, of which man himself is
a part, still exists, although 1t may have
reached its crest, so far as the man.
malian race as a whole is concerned,
during the preceding geological era.
the So-called Tertiary period of the
earth's history.
Evidence of the existence of the first
two mammal faunaS, he points out, is
rare and obscure 1t consists only of
a few teeth and fragments of skulls
recovered occasionally in widely sepa-
rated parts Of the world, in geological
deposits dating from the so-called TriaS-
sic era, about 180, ,000, 600 years ago. The
mammals themselves must have been,
for the most part, small, weak creatures
having q hard time to survive in an
age when the great reptiles were the
dominant animals on earth. Their
fossil vestiges have been found in Eng
land, South Africa and the Rocky
Mountain area. Nobody knows exactly
what they looked like.
The point emphasized by Dr. Simpson
is that the line came to an end. Twice
the mammalian race, so far as there
Is any evidence to the contrary, became
extinct. The two "radiations" left
hardly trace of their millions of years
of progress on earth, but the dinosaurs,
big and little, splashed merrily on in
the ancient swampS
There is much more evidence Of the
next two mammal "irradiations." The
third age of mammals came into ex-
iStence during the latter part Of the
So-called Cretaceous geological period,
about 120,000,00 years ago. The crea-
lures Of this period were of three types
the marsupials or pouch-bearers, the
placentals or live bearers, and the
