CHAPTER FOUR

THERE WAS a picture in the morning papers of Barbara Chase dancing with Chief Leaping Water at the Starlight Terrace. And one of the gossip columnists went so far as to imply Chief Leaping Water was a fabulously rich oil man in whom Barbara was reported more than mildly interested. Barbaras eves blazed. She slammed the paper to the floor just as Dugan came down to breakfast. “You no doubt will be interested in this,” Barbara said icily. She pointed to the floor. “At your bidding.” he said. bending over. ‘It doesn’t do you justice,” he observed. Then he frowned as he read the item in the gossip column, “I am honored by the implication,” he said gravely, “that you are romantically interested in me. In any way, in fact. Also, I am NOT a rich Indian, but a rather poor Indian . with something of a future, however!” She had to laugh. He looked serious. “In oil, no doubt,” she said meaningly. and Dugan laughed, too. Uncle Hank bustled in. “What's this they have in the papers? Let me see, let me see. Say, isn't that something,” he exclaimed, tapping the paper Dugan, laughing, dug inte his grapefruit. “Depends on the viewpoint. Miss Barbara here.” he added in his soft drawl, “isn't on our side.” The corners ‘of Barbara's mouth

crinkled upwards. “Dont get mej wrong. That was really funny, but] I just wasn't prepared for it.” She| pointed! to the paper. “And you see what the repercussions are.” = = = ! THAT NIGHT at the dinner| table Dugan and Hank talked bushi ness for the first time in Barbara's| presence. . | “You've studied the thing for] two days. now Dugan.” Hank said. “Do we sell those 5000 acres to Midwest or not? Frankly, Fm] stumped.” Dugan hunched forward in his) chair. “I think you ought to sel! Mr. Chase,” he said cagerly. “I'm| positive that land doesn't bear] deposits valuable enough to warrant working it for the high-grade stuff, but Midwest can make use| of it for their line of by-products. | “Both jou and Midwest will} profit, but I know youre getting! the best of a good deal.” Hank toyed with his salad fork for several seconds. “Dugan,” hej said finally, "I'm going to take your advice.” : Barbara looked up. “Uncle Hank, have you been down there! lately? You haven't, have you?"| she said, answering her own ques-| tion. | “No, not in two or three yvears.”! “Why dont you take a trip! down to Oklahoma and sort of see how things are for yourself?”| Dugan raised a quizzical eye-| brow. “Eh, what for?” Hank asked. “Dugan knows more about it than| any man in the world. That's wy | I had him come here.” “Granted, but even an expert | can overlcok something. There! might be more value in that land] than he mentions.” “Are you implying something?! Dugan asked mildly. | “Of course not,” she returned) sharply. “Just a precaution. After all, where theres so much money concerned, I should think . , .® i “Let me do the thinking, please! Barbara,” her uncle said quietly. | Barbara shrugged and | Dugan staring at her. There was] accusation in that stare and she | knew it. i She felt guilty. She really hadn't] intended to put a hidden meaning | in her suggestion, vet she knew! it must have sounded that way. “Youre a clever girl aren't you?” Dugan purred later when they were alone. “Giving your uncle ideas like that. I'll have to! pe careful from now on what “say,” he concluded ambiguously.

“Its about that Indian I want to talk to you.” She raised an interested eyebrow. “I'm listening.” “What I should do,” he began significantly, “is turn you over my knee and give you what you should have gotten more often as a voungster.”

“Barbs.” He shot at her, “you weren't questioning Dugan’s honesty tonight, were you? It sounded as though you had him angling for a nice cut from Midwest for advising me to sell.” She started to speak, but stopped her with a gesture. “Maybe I ought to tell you a iittle bit about this man Dugan Blake. of the I've ever had in any of my organizations, lot.

He leaned forward. “Just last year he showed the company how it could save $15000 in drilling charges.
