This was due to no personal preju- dice. It was because he was by pro fession a “well-shooter,” and that red painted spring wagon, with the red flag, carried thirty or forty pints of nitro-glycerine, in small tins packed snugly in padded frames. The business of the well-shooter is well understood in the oil regions, and his wagon becomes a familiar, though always an alarming, When oil-well flow, a chi high explosive fired at the bottom of the tube will often stimulate it into activity again it is the iness of the supply this st lus, Sunday re. wagon were that region. sight. an ¢ ceases to Arge oi Ht VuUS imu from place to wellshooter to and he drives about place with a cart-load ine, and everybody allows the whole road wi had nitro-gis him to take Matthews ness you of lars customed to the were not what it had at become of woods age.

A dense bank of dark-blue cloud was rolling up rapidly, blowing out in ragged streamers, as if torn by a powerful gale. Already it was reach g half-way to the zenith, and the sun shone dimly through a reddish haze. In a few minutes more this was blotted out, and a strange and chilly dusk fell upon the earth. The horses ware snorting and stamping with fright. The storm developed so rapid ly that Matthews at first had hardly recognized its nature, But now the indications were only too clear. Twice in his life he had seen tornadoes, They are not so com- mon in the middle West as upon the plains, but veritable “twisters” do oc: casionally sweep across that region; and it appeared afterward, in fact, that this was a sort of offshoot of the cyclone that almost wiped out the town of Pike Springs on the same day.
