The Passing of Brickville
BY Joseph N. Quail

the owner OF saloon, having bough:
out Pikey McGinn-iaking bar, stock
goodwill and building.
Then, to the greater surprise OF
Brickville. he promptly sold to Pikey 4
hated rival everything but the build
ing. Pikey swore it was all a put-ur
lob. and left town in disgust. Succo
tash said it was because he intended
to tear down the old house and put up
4 better one. And tear down the old
place he did. and he carted the bricks
away to his mystery shed-to store
them there until he was ready to
build, he said.
But the only thing that Pierre built
at that time was a wooden water
trough. leading from his well to the
brick shed. Most of the day and all
of the night he locked himself in that
shed with his secret. Those who
passed in the rear of the place de-
clared that they could hear him grind
ing something and because of pool
of red water which had accumulated
near the shed they thought it must
be the bricks
Now, Fred Richie was one of those
who regarded Pierre's conduct as
most suspicious. He gave a good deal
of thought to the mystery of the shed
and the tearing down of McGinn's sa-
loon, and finally he recalled having
seen Succotash grab that piece of
brick and make off with it. Then it
occurred to him also that it was Pi-
erre VINO had caused all the trouble
between Pikey and Slanteye by steal
ing the chimney. And one day when
Succotash was down in town buying
provisions Fred sneaked out the back
way of his shop with bit and stock
and bored hole in the mortar be-
tween the bricks of Pierre's shed to
discover what his secret might be. AS
Pierre worked that night Fred had his
eye glued to this hole and noted what
he was doing.
Next morning his neighbors were
surprised at finding that Ritchie's
chimney had fallen during the night,
and they were astonished to see Fred
carrying the bricks into his barber
shop and pilng them up with great
care. He wasn't going to have them
stolen. as Pikey's were, he told them.
And as they passed by the shop later
in the day and looked in they saw him
pounding away at the bricks, breaking
them into bits and scanning each piece
carefully.
One OF his customers was let into
/ the secret, and another chimney fell.
The secret was secret no longer.
Succotash had found gold in the piece
of brick that Richie had seen him
| dart forward to pick up, and he had
found more in the bricks he had stol-
en- from Pikey. With the proceeds he
had set up an arastra in the shed,

Woman Chosen City Alderman.

Mrs. H. J. Gates has just been elect
ed one of the six aldermen Of Magee,
Tenn. For several years she has
taken an active interest in the educa-
tional work of her town and wanted
to be elected alderman because 1t
would help her in this work. She is
reported to have made about the most
aggressive campaign ever witnessed in
Magee, if not in Tennessee. The town
people seemed pleased with her cleo

Richie and the others found scales
and grains and specks Of gold. When
the chimney bricks had been ground
up the wall bricks followed, and in a
short space of time Brickville was a
town of tents again.
Then 1t was announced suddenly
that Succotash and Richie had
patched up their trouble and that Pi.

was followed by Pierre's departure
from town. He has made his pile" p"

man one day brought startling piece

Succotash had bought a claybank
In Basin, and brickyard as well; and
he had astonished the good people Of
that nook in the mountains by con-
verting this claybank into gold mine
and this brickyard into a mill in
which to treat his rich clay. for the
gold could not be freed by ordinary
process Of placer washing.
Then Brickville collectively kicked
itself for not having thought to trace
out this brickyard before the man
from Canada: and the Brickvillians
folded their tents and went scurrying
away to the mountains to search there
for other claybanks that were studded

The operations of the night riders
