n leaned back in his chair and
surveyed his visitor with a scowl.
''Nonesensei What's romantic about
drilling holes into the ground to
produce a few thousand barrels of
an unpleasant-looking, evil-smell-
ing liquid, most of which will wind
up as gasoline to carry Uncle Willie
out to the golf course for a Sunday
afternoon?
"I1l grant you that IN the old
days there was color and life to
the producing branch of the bust
ness at least. For good many
years after Colonel Drake drilled
Americas first oil we'll out in Titus
Vile, Pennsylvania-that was in
1S59-oil had the glamor that
characterizes any pioneer enterprise.
Those old boys had no idea Of the
magnitude of the business they were
building They drilled their wells
by guess and by golly.' and they
never knew until the last minute
whether they'd find a gusher and a
life income or just another dry
hole
There was an element of ro-
nance in doing business that way,
but science has practically done
away with all that Nowadays we
usually know just about where to
drill a we'll and after a few tests
have been drilled we can generally
estimate how much oil the field
will produce. OF course, as in any
business, there is still an element
of chance, but don't talk to me
about romance.
We'll" observed the visitor,
suppose you tell me how prosaic
the oil business is then"
Take an organization like The
Texas Corporation, continued the
geologist. ignoring the interruption.
Our producing organization is ac-
tive in Is states in this country as
well as in a number of South
American countries. What happens
nowadays when an organization
like ours wants to drill a well?
First of all, we send out party
of biologists. Those fellows
haven't a speck of the color and
life that the old divining-rod boys
used to have. You know, in the
industry's younger days, oil men
used to swear by the divining rod
as a locator OF wells. But today's
geologist and geophysicists are
equipped with seismographs, tor
sion balances, dynamite and radio
telephones. Unlike the tobacco

according to the testimony, to

She shook her head and then
after another look at him she
turned away and her slim shoulders

The stranger climbed IN quickly

felt two big arms pull her around

to free the tears and bring them

He turned and looked down on the

The recklessness that was part

sober light and tenderness. And
there was a certain caress in his
fingers as they touched the soft
hair.
When her tears were nearly spent
and she was quieter he put a hand
under her chin and lifted her face
SO he could look into the blue eyes.
Jane found herself staring at him
