Gun BrlBkow striked oil and meets Gray, who proves a friend In need to the Brlskow family. Allte, (be daughter, falls In love with Gray, but he loves Barbara Parker.

Bud Brlskow, son of Qua, falls into the hands of an adventuress from whom Gray rescues him. Brlakow buys a beautiful home and Gray visits htm there. Gray hires Mallow and two associates to keep close watch of Nelson's activities In the oil fields. Gray tells the president of the largest bank in Dallas ot his hate for Nelson.

You're the first one that's dropped in an' we been here 'most two weeks. Say, you'll stay an' eat won't you?" "Of course I will, and breakfast, too, if you can take care of me." "Pahaw!

Anything more would merely add to your cares." "Allle and Ma picked but the furniture. Swell, ain't ItT" "Beautiful!" Gray exclaimed. Inwardly ho groaned, for, although the contents of the home appeared to be expensive, almost ostentatious, they nevertheless betrayed a conspicuous look of taste both to character and In arrangement. Here and there were color combinations so atrocious that they positively hurt the caller. On the whole, however, the place looked better than he had ex pected, and such indications of harmony and restraint as he detected he attributed to Allle.

It was a nice plough home, and with a little chungo, a Mttle rearrangement, it could bo made attractive even to ono of elegant tastes. Those changes, of course, Gray determined to moke. "Allle's gone out to the old farm to get some stuff for Ma," the father explained in due time.

It was nice to have a great, masterful man llko this take charge of ono, and Ma sighed grutufully as sbo lay back. "It does klnda feel like No one had ever given her presents; to be remembered, therefore, with useless, delightful little luxuries filled her gentle soul with a guilty rapture.

But tbese were not gifts tn the ordinary sense; they were offerings from the Duke of Dallas, and hla manner of presenting them, invested every article with ducal dignity. Gray was seated on the aide of her coach with her cold hand between his warm palms, and he was telling nor about the princess of Wichita Falls when the summons to dinner Interrupted them. Ma waa not hungry, and she had expected to have a bite in her own room; but her caller was BO vigorous In his objections to this plan that ahe finally agreed to come downstairs. The Briskow household was poorly organized as yet, and was only natural that it should function imperfectly; nevertheless. Gray was annoyed at the clumsy manner in which the dinner was served.

"See here, Mai" Gray threw dowa his napkin. "You have a beautiful home, and you want it to be perfect, don't you?" "Why, of course. We bought everything we could "Everything except skinful serr- ants, and they are hard to find. You ore capable of training your cook and teaching yoar upstairs girl to sweep and make beds; but the test of a well-run house is a well-served meal. Now then, you're not eating a bite, anyhow, and Qus won't mind waiting awhile for his dinner.

With your permission, I'd like to take things in hand and add a hundred per cyit to your future comfort?" In some bewilderment Ma agreed that ahe would do anything her guest suggested, whereupon he rose energetically and called the three domestics into the dining room. "We ore going to start this dinner all over again," he annoUHced, "and we are going to begin by swapping places. I am going to serve it iia a dinner should be served, and you are going to eat it Well, I dare say nature will have to take its course. Mr. and Mrs.

Briskow aro going to look on. After wo have finished you are going "to serve us exactly as I served you." Naturally, this proposition amazed the in fact. Its absurdity convulsed them. Tho man laughed loudly; the cook burled her ebony face in her apron; tho second girt bent double with mirth. But the gentleman was not joking.

On the contrary, be brought this levity to an abrupt end, lyien, gravely, ceremoniously, he seated the trio. Gray played butler with a correctness and a deeply Impressive to nil round-eyed audience. It waa an uncomfortable experience for all except Gray actually enjoyed when the lust diah had beon removed, and he had given Instructions to serve the meal over egaln exactly as be bod served it, the three negroes were glad to obey. "You sae what a meddlesome busybody I am," the guoot laughed. "I dont know how to mind my own business, and the one luxury I enjoy moat of Is regulating other people's affairs." He was still talking, still lecturing his bearers upon the obligations prosperity had put upon thorn, when he was summoned to tho telephone by long-dlstanoe cart Ho returned in somo agitation to announce-.
