CHAPTEIR XXVI
The core drills went down the next day and came up again. bringing from deep. secret places the long .gray cylinders of rock and earth that logged the struc- ture of the world's heart. so far below.
When the grey columns, the size of a child's arm. were laid out on the ground, Hickey and Gary studied them anxiously. "No showing yet." Gary said, sighing. "Nothing to do but go on down."
"OK. Down she goes." Hickey agreed. .
Gary was a little worried. And he knew that Mona Lee was wor- ried. too. It was as old i-lughey Fotherglll had said. An oil well was like a. wife. You estimated the cost. biandly, and then the extras kept you in debt the rest of your life.
"Don't reckon we .could have
them sands?" Hickey de bated. at lunch time. "I've got a good notion to run Schlumberger on her, anyway." "Have to case down farther. then," Gary reminded him, "and casing costs money: so do elec- trical tests. 'I'd better talk to Mrs. Mason about it." Mona Lee was frankly upset. "I wish Harvey hadn't gone off and left me so much responsibility. I don't even know if there's money enough. I guess I could find out if I went to the bank. I'm scared to death to talk to a banker. And Mr. Bradley thinks Harvey's kind of craby anyway, sinking enough in this well to buy a. good ranch.
Gary?" she went on.
"Well, I wish we could have
chance to talk to s geophysicist first. I'm satisfied that is oil structure out there, it lies very deep. Wells have been drill- ed past the oil sand, but not of- ten. But of course if we go on drilling, then fail...weli, we'll be sure if we run the test."

"All right, you call up the right
people."
so the next day the schlumber-
ger test went down, and tautly
they all watched the pointing hand. the cable paying out as the magi- cal cylinder went seeking down. The roughnecks relaxed and went to sleep on the derrick floor. The shaft oi the kelly Joint rested inactive, in the rat hole. Gary saw Mona Lee's taco tighten end vvhiton es the indicator moved and cable fell, and still then was no reign of oil. Hickey was pretending to be busy with an oil can, but as much oil went on the ground as found the oil cups, and his face was strained, too. Then the test runner straigh- tened. up briskly. "No indications. Looks like you'll have to go down. Any- way. you haven't hi It yet." "All right. Hickey," Gary said "Go on down." so the traveling gear rode up again, and presently the cuttings were flowing out into the pit and Gary stood over them. fin- gering them anxiously. Mona Lee sat on the tool box and watched That night. at dinner they were all touchy and on edge. Gary ex- cused himself as soon as he could, and went back to the well. He was sittlru; on the tool box, star- ing gloomily at the cables riding up and down. when Adelaide came and scrambled up beside him. She said absently. '"I'hls is like old times-this is the way it used to be, lsnt it?" - And Gary. because he was nerve strung and taut and worried, snap- ped out before he thought. "No, it isn't as it used to be. And it isn't going to be:-either. live learned some sense."
Adelaide's face turned stondy in the flat. white light of the flares. "You don't. waste any time fines-
ising, do you? You say Just what
you think."
''I think," he was blunt, "that -I was a presumptuous fool to think about you. I suppose you had a swell time laughing? I'm working for your family now be- cause I owe your family that much, but that's all."
"I see," she said. "Mind if I sit here humbly for a minute while the stars stop revolving? I haven't had a slap in the face before-it's a unique experience". (Continued)
