THEY To SEE PARIS

By Homer Croy

(Continued)

His ambition, hLs restless driving energy, had made money (or him- ior he not only owned the Pawnee Gil-rage and IPord agency, but also the cement-block factory, the corner building where the 0K Drug Store was, and share in the new hotel. He was the exalted ruler o! the Elks Lodge; he was president oi the school board, he headed committees; he got up things and was chairman oi the rodeo board. I-le was what is called a good mixer and a quick, shrewd judge of human nature, and yet he was constantly being takenin by shar- pers. He loaned more money to peo- ple out oi luck, to oil drillers, adven- turers, to boys having a hard struggle and to odds and ends of humanity, than any other person in Clear-water.

His unusual ﬁrst name came from an early ancestor -in fact irom Ze- bulon Pike, the explorer and discov- erer of Pike's Peak. The great im- pression that. the explorer had made iivas still to be found in many other such geographical names, as Pike's Bluff, Pike Springs, and Pike Country And now Pike Peters bore it, but he never traded on it.

"Hangirf onto somebody else‘: coattaiis don't get you anywhere," he said. "Do your own runnin!"

And Pike did. He was the best. run- ner in a. town that prided itself on speed. I-lc made more money by his own eiforts than any other man in Clearwater. He was making six thous- and dollars s. year. some or the ban- icers were making more, but. they had bonds, investments, and so on and had come to Cleanivater well heeled. _

"It takes s. hell oi a lot of hump- ing to make six thousand dollars n year in any town this size," Pike would say. “You're got to get out and take it away from ’em with bare hands."

"Huiio, folks!" he called geniaily as he entered. "Sorry to be lat-e. Any ea.- ting‘ left? Say’ I could eat a mule and chase the rider‘. It's mighty good oi you, Mummic, to hold up your show for me."

Big, rough honest Pike Peters was "crazy" aboout his family. There nev- er had been such a smart, such a re- markable ia-mliy as his. In tact, Pike thought that. anything oi his was the mosi; remarkable, the most wonderful in the _wor1d. HE Birage, his house, his town-in fact.’ he himself had in- vented the catch phrase about the biggest little town in the world.

"I'm a. bit later than I expected." he continued, “because a lot o! fools think they are going to bring in a well on the Maginnis tract and I've rented every car in the place so that they could go out 6o sec them bring in a. duster. Ii the avail-eyed iooisﬁ] stop to think- Dang it! there goes that ‘blasted soap. Why don't some- body invcni; a non-skid soap like non- skld tires? Oh yes! the wall-eyed ioolsd know that the oil was drained o1! long ago as they pay me a good (at price lor my car I ain't going to wake ‘em up."

He came into the dining-room car- rying his coat, and placed it over the back oi a chair, where it. hung ‘with its shoulders raised, like a scarecrow.

“When I eat I like-plenty o! elbow action," he would say in his brisk. humorous way.

His shirt sleeves were already roiled up. This was s0 that at the office he could strip oil his coat. and plunge quickly into some mechanical job without soiling his culls. But usually he iorgot to bring them down again. Mrs Peters had talked to him endless times about it-it wasn't polite, it

tor-with about the ever-asp husband, "I'd think you'd beeaeiteawbeut,

one oi them ison our gland." A =i 1t was true. Years beiore when Pike VII-l I. vcwf ' h! llﬁ I00, in Q roundabouts trade, a small patch oi the Maginnis tarm-"Orsu" Maginnis they called him because in the early days he had thought that cotton could be raised in Oklahoma. The iderhad cost him his term; o! course, cotton is now a stampio product, but he was a pioneer and pioneers are virtually always considered ioois in their day.

“I'm more excited about renting cars. I've been stung in oil so many times I ain't got any more iaith in it than I have in a potato curing wart and I'd put my money on tho potato. A bunch of wild-cats had some rigs and drills they wearn't using and they thought they'd take a chance on this Ileld. When they came around to me to sign up, I thought some oi the boys were trying to hang one on me and I almost laughed in their faces."

The lease he had linaiiy signed had ‘been the standard one-eightnlease. Thar, is theowner was to get onc- eighth at the well.

"Dinner," called Mrs. Peters. "I suppose Ross has been delayed by business."

Ross was always being “delayed by business." It had been going on ior weeks and Mrs. Peters was greatly worried ‘by it. It was her polite way oi saying that Ross preierred to have a greasy, indigestible lunch at the Cherokee Cafe to a palatable, well- cooked dinner at home. The reason was the cashier-Gracie Jones. Gracie worked in the Cherokee Cale among a lot of street loafers, oil drillers, In- dians, half-breeds, mechanics from the §arage, workmen from the cc- ment plant, and a. drummer or two from the Comanche Hotel who th- ought they spied something new and unsophisticated. Then they would wake up.

Ross was considered “wiid“-cs- pecialiy by his mother. Her idea oi a steady, reliable young man was one who came to his mother for advice and who married the girl oi her choice. But, instead oi that hc~was chasing-i; was the word Mrs. Peters herseii used-Gracie Jones. Gracie was pretty ins. sort oi .way-no- body could. get as much out oi that sort as Mrs. Peters could. It was, well just fascination. And especially when Nir. Munn, the banker, had anoniy deughtcrt who was such a nice girl. It made Mrs. Peter's heart sick. Child- ren were so trying. They hadn't been

THE CHARLOTTWN GARDAN

' wasn't 800d and so tin-and Pike had made his womise to debate‘ ‘

so when she was young It was something that. hadjust recently come over- them.

Ross came breezing in, s. bright, good looking boy oi

“Too late for chow?" he called, 0058- ing his hat in the general direction of the corner. Didje hear they're go ing to shoot the wells this afternoon" I wouldn't miss it for a. glass eyc Evcryhing is going to close down, cv: the Cherokee Cafe."

Mrs. Peters glanced at Pike, but. i. had no worries about Ross,

“Every now and then people go ou. on a hill, expecting the world to come to an end too," said Pike. "Nothing is fooled easier than a lot oi human be- ings, When I think o! the damnlool things that the human race has done it makes me shudder. It. seems to me sometimes that God must get aw- fully discouraged. There's no more oil out there than there is in a iiour barrel."

"I've put everything on the table lo you" except the apple pie," said Mr: Peter's. "It's on the back oi the slov to keep warm until you're ready. Jus. stack the dishes in the pan and run some cold water over them and let‘ thorn stand, Is the iQy in the car, Pike?"

Even with all the extra work thatf Mrs. Peters had to do that morning, she had iound time w make Pike his favorite desert-apple pie. i

Getting in the car, Mrs. Peters and ~ Opal sped down the street. A lino oi cars waited outside the new, shiny seven-story pride oi Clear-water. A buzz oi conversation, as the two en- tered the receiption room, beat upon Mrs. Petcrss ears. There was s con- stant stirring and movement, the wo- men ,__ '__ toward Lady Wolves-tree and than moving away again. llrs. Peters looked at Lady Wolverine ea- serlv.
