Cresswell's protests are subdued when Todd declares that he is willing to take a chance and the sale is effected. The plot is then placed in execution. Todd and bis assistants tap the pipe line under the cover of darkness, and cleverly extend a line to the worthless property, where it Is connected with an abandoned derrick. A few days later the community is astonished by the news that the old Cresswell land has become a fertile oil field, and an inspection verifies the report. Todd organizes a company and offers stock for sale. He is able to command large figures, but in his plans he makes one mistake.
