"would you like dates and freedom, Dan?"
 He shrugged. "I'm pretty well trained to double harness"
 Carma hesitated over Marians invitation. What was the use She might as well accustom herself to loneliness. When Marian hinted that Dan had invited a most at- tractive man, she became more in- terested.
 "You may like him." Marian said. Anyway, he's unattached"
 "Uh-huh-I know. Divorced, pay ing hue alimony, sour on women.
 Not at all. He's a bachelor. Rich and good looking"
 "Yes, I know that kind, too. Con- ceited pigs"
 Marian laughed. "All right, don't come. What do you want for nothing"
 "Ill be there."
 They called Dolly from across the hall and she entered into the plan with enthusiasm. Dinner for six-well, seven-of course she and MdTldu COulu U1HIldSG It,
 "I'll do the jumping up and down, she offered. What shall we serve"
 Marian knitted her brows in thought. It was actually fun to be giving a party. Why hadn't she done it oftener Cocktails first" she de- cided. Dan can be responsible for them"
 Gosh, I haven't mixed a cock tail since I don't know when," he put in. They were all in a lighter mood, carried on by a common in- terest.
 Dolly suggested, How about hav- ing chickens done at the restau- rant? We can fix vegetables and a nice salad"
 "Yes," Marian nodded. And those meringue shells from the pastry shop are delicious. Ice cream is an easy dessert"
 Dolly bounced up and down on the davenport cushion. She would always be a child. "It's so much fun getting up a party-an anni- versary party. We should have flow CTS for the table,"
 Dan said, "I'll attend to that"

 The next morning Marian went to the office with the comfortable feeling that her apartment would be cleaned, that the ordering and arrangements for the party were being capably taken care of by Dolly. Friday passed pleasantly, Sat- urday morning was without unto- ward incident. Marian left the of- flee at noon for manicure and hair-do. Her nerves had eased, she felt physically much better.
 Arriving home at 4 o'clock she found the table set in the living room. Shining silver, pale green linen, @ bowl of violets in the cen- ter. Everything was neatly ready in the kitchen, peeled potatoes in cold water, a white head of caulifiower ready to be steamed, carrot slivers

CHAPTER TX

The HarKneSS 1zCn WeuullS dIl" niversary fell on a Saturday. Har- assed by unwelcome thoughts, wish- ing to fill every hour, Marian de- cided on a celebration. Perhaps wistful longing to bring Dan back to her side had something to do with the decision.
 "Let,s have someone in Saturday night" she suggested at breakfast on Thursday.
 "Why Saturday night?"
 "Its our wedding anniversary, Dan."
 He raised his eyebrows. "Why celebrate the 18th? We haven't celebrated for years"
 I'm surprised that you know it is the 12th."
 q should" They were of again. "We never see anyone. Wouldn't you like it, Dan?"
 He nodded soberly. "Who could we ask?"
 "Well-we haven't seen Bill and Amy Ellen since we were married but they're here in Chicago.
 "YeS, I suppose we could them"
 "Do you remember the day we went to see them? Bill out of a job-Amy Ellen thin and half sick" "YeS. I remember"
 "What about Bill? Do you ever see him?"
 q sold him $2,ooo worth of equip ment last month"
 "You did? Is he in business?"
 Purchasing agent for Finley Motors"
 Marian buttered a slice of toast thoughtfully.
 Shall we ask them?"
 All right"
 And Carma-she's desperately un- happy. I wish I knew a man to in- vite for her. Maybe if she got a little attention"
 T see Randy Means almost every day. He was in my fraternity at the university"
 "Is he nice? Would Carma be in- terested?"
 Dams glance was amused. "Yes, I think almost any girl would be in- terested. He happens to be worth half a million, he's good-looking, popular and unmarried" "Um-um-I didn't know there were any men like that. Will you ask him?"
 Sure" "Thatll be six enough for this little place. I'll ask Dolly to help" If Dolly comes she'll be a guest" "Well, of course, but she can help me-"
 "wish I could think of man for Dolly" Dan mused. She's a swell gal"
 T know she's swell, but"
 "But whatp'
 "Youll have to admit that she has very little style and snap. Her clothes are cheap, sort of frumpy- looking"
 T think Dolly looks nice in her clothes" Dan countered. Some good chap would do well to meet her. Let me think"
 "oh, she won't mind being the odd one'
 That evening Marian called Amy Ellen Sands. They were very chatty, exchanging regrets that so many years had elapsed since their last meeting. Yes, Marian was still work ing. Dan was fine. Yes, still work ing for the same firm.
 And how was Amy Ellen? Let's see --her boy must be 12 years old. Three others? My, my-how lovely. At last Marian proffered her in- vitation and Amy Ellen accepted. Dan caught Randy Means at the Medinah Club. Sure he'd come he'd like very much to come.
 "Lucky to get him. Dan re. marked as he replaced the instru- ment. He's popular as the dickens. Dates, freedom"
 Marian looked at him narrowly.

SHRUB PLANTING

MT. Muddle was presented with eight very rare imported shrubs. He planted them in the middle of a large lawn in way which he thought would be most effective. He had them in four rows, with three shrubs in each row. Each shrub was the same distance from the next one on each side.
 How could he arrange them this way?

CENTRALIA. ILL.-Discovery OF
two new producing formations in
the rich Lake Centralia-Salem pool
Of Marion County overshadowed the
possible success OF two wildcat tests
which would open new oil pools in
Washington and Wayne counties.
The two new pay formations in
the lake field were the ST. Louis
lime and the Devonian lime. deeper
lying formations than the three,
the Benoist and Aux Vases sands
and the McCloskey lime that now
are producing in the states rank
ing pool.
The st. Louis lime was found
productive at Lewis, Armstrong and
Days test at the site of Young's
chapel, a church in the heart of
the lake pool. The oil began to
flow from the formation at 2,209
to 2.245 #. before the test was
completed.
The Devonian lime from 3,405
to 3,430 tt. was found productive
at Kingwood Oil Co.'S No. 18-A
Shanafelt, which was flowing be-
tween 10 and 80 barrels hourly.

Kevin-Sunburst field this week,
i'm the form of dividend checks
for stockholders of one of the
fields oldest and most success
full companies.
Big West Oil company, pioneer
Kelvin producers and refiners, this
week paid a dividend to its stock
holders, calling attention of the
Montana industry to the steady pro-
gress of this Montana institution. A
dividend of 5 percent was paid on
all outstanding preferred stock and
the regular quarterly dividend OF
81 a share on common stock. The
company was organized by the late
w. S. Hawley, one of the earliest
entrants into Kevin-Sunburst field.
Based on acreage taken on the
high, of Kevin-Sunburst, the
company was financed in Spokane
from small beginning. The COM
pany drilled its first well-a shall
low valuation hole-in 1922, on
the Allen farm in Sec. 6-34-1W.
1t was two years before the company
got around to finance its second
drilling venture and in September,
1924. brought in its first 100-bar-
rel we'll, dts Allen No. g. Then fol-
lowed the completion of two more
wells that year and IL wells in 1925
including two that had an initial

barrel well and its No. II, 1000

FIND DOME IS
mere SHAPE OF
IGNEOUS PLUG

Belief of many biologists that
some structures in the Swettgrass
Hills were formed by the uprising
of lacoliths or basaltic bikes found
a degree of confirmation with the
drilling of the Coohdge& Coolidge
test on Eagle structure, near West
Butte.
At a depth of 1902 feet. which
should have been at the base of
the Colorado shales. the bit encoun-
tered basalt or granite. It is be-
lieved that the structure resulted
from the upheaval of this vol
canic mass which is per-
haps similar to the several noun
tains or buttes which form the
Sweetgrass Hills. The hills which
rise 1900 feet above the surround
ing plans are lacoliths which broke
through the surface. Others are
believed to remain imbedded. How
ever. of all the wells drilled in the
Sweetgrass Hills, the Eagle struc-
ture well is the first to report
having encountered a flow of vol
canic material. One well, on Bears
Den structure, was drilled to the
Devonian, where 1t found a show
ing of oil, but reported no igneous
material.
The Eagle structure test is being
abandoned. Location is on the

low OF the past 5 years.
Daily average production in Oc-
tober was 1920 barrels above the
average in September. with gains in
nearly every state except Illinois
where, despite a marked gain in
competitions. production declined
from $4,000 barrels in September
to $4,000 barrels daily in Octo-
Der, the first decrease since April,
1897. Stocks OF crude oil in the ma
ton declined 100000 barrels,
reaching the low point OF 230.S54,-

Der was per cent above the de-
mand in October. 1888, despite the
fact that exports were "a per cent
