IE CHAPTER XIV Quicksands
@ %

A short week after the reclamation service headquarters had been moved from the log-built offices on the gov ernment reservation to the commodi- ous and airy suite on the sixth floor of the Niquoia building Brouillard re- ceived the summons which he had been expecting ever since the night of rioting and lawlessness which had marked the close of the railroad cele- bration.
 Mir Cartwright would like to see you in his rooms at the Metropole," l" was the message the office boy brought, and Brouillard closed his desk with a snap and followed the boy to Bongras' :.
 The shrewd-eyed tyrant of Mirapo- lis was in his shirt sleeves, busily die tating to two stenographers alternate ly, when the engineer entered the third room of the series; but the work was suspended and the stenographers were sent away as soon as Brouillard was announced
 Well" was the millionaires greet ing you waited to be sent for, didn't you?
 Why not?" said Brouillard shortly. q have my work to do and you have yours"
 And the two jobs are at opposite ends of the string, you'd say. Never mind; we cant afford to throw each other down. and just now you can tell me few things that l want to know. How is young Massingale get ting along ?"
 "As well as could be expected. Car ruthers-the doctor-says he is out of danger"
 "Hm. It has been handed in to me two or three times lately that the old man is out gunning for Van Bruce or for me. Any truth in that?"
 'I think not Massingale is Ken. tuckian, and l fancy he is quite capa- ble of potting either one or both of you for the attack on his son. But so far he has done nothing-has hardly left Steve's bedside"
 MT J. Wesley Cartwright flung him. self back in his luxurious swing chair and clasped his pudgy hands over the top of his head where the reddishgray hair was thinning reluctantly.
 I've been putting it off to see which way the cat was going to jump" he ad mftted If young Massingale Is out oi danger. it is time to get action. What was the quarrel about, between him and Van Bruee?"
 Tt occurs to me that your son would be a better source of information, said Brouillard, evading.
 "Yan Bruce has, told me all he re

 II they went there Miss Amy had her reasons Let's try it." said Brouil- lard, and he was halfway across the street when Castner overlook him.
 There was dance hall next door to Pegleg Johns barrel house and gam bling rooms, and, though the daylight was still strong enough to make the electrics garishly unnecessary, the orgy was in full swing, the rauccus changing of piano and the shuffie and stamp of many feet drowning the monotonous cries of the sidewalk barker" who was inviting all and sandry to enter and join the dancers.
 Castner would have stopped to ques- ton the "barker"-was, in fact, trying to make himself heard-when the sharp crash of pistol shot dominated the clamor of the piano and the stamp ing feet. Brouillard made quick dash for the open door of the neighboring barrel house, and Castner was so good a second that they burst in as one man.
 The dingy interior of Pegles Johns, which was merely barrel-lined vesti- bule leading to the gambling rooms beyond, staged tragedy. A handsome young giant, out of whose face sudden agony had driven the breeding pas sion of intoxication, lay, loose-flung, on the sawdust-covered floor, with Amy Massingale kneeling in stricken, fearless misery beside him. Almost within arms reach Van Bruce Cort- wright, the slayer, was wrestling stub bernly with Fig Smith and the fat armed barkeeper, who were trying to disarm him, his heavy face mask of irresponsible rage and his lips bub- bling imprecations.
 Turn me loose" he gritted. "Ill fix him so he won't give the governors snap away! He'll pipe the story of the Coronida grant off to the papers? not if kill him till he's too dead to bury, l guess"
 Castner ignored the wrestling three and dropped quickly on his knees be. side Stephen Massingale, bracing the misery-strieken girl with the needed word of hope and directing her in low tones how to help him search for the wound.
 But Brouillard hurled himself with an oath upon young Cartwright, and it was he, and neither the cattleman nor the fat-armed barkeeper. who wrenched the weapon out of Cortwright's grasp and with it menaced the babbling mur- derer into silence

back on you as his indorser, and you the mine. Isn't that about the size of it?"
 Tt is exactly the size of it. I do want the Little Susan and I've got a good friend or two in the Red Butte smelters who will help me get it.'
 Brouillard's black eyes were snap ping, but his voice was quite steady when he said: Thank you That brings us down to the mention of the Coronida grant and Stephen Massin- gales threat-which your son cant re- member"
 "Right-o," said MT. Cartwright, still with predetermined geniality. What was the threat?"
 T don't know, but the guessing list is open to everybody. There was once grant of many square miles of noun tain and desert somewhere in this re- zion made to one Don Estacio de Mon- tarriba Coronida. Like those of most of the great Spanish land grants, the boundaries of this one were loosely described and"
 MT. Cartwright held up fat hand.
 q know what you're going to say. But we went into all that at Washing ton before we ever invested single dollar in this valley. AS you may or may not know, the reclamation serv- ice bureau tried to choke us off. But when it came down to brass tacks, they lacked witness. We may be in the bed of your proposed lake. but we're safely on Coronida land"
 "So you say" said Brouillard quietly, "and on the strength of that you have been guaranteeing titles. Just there is where Massingale comes in, l imag- inc. He has spent twenty years or more in this region, and he knows every landmark in it. What if he should be able to put a lighted match to your pile of kindling, MT. Cort- wright?"
 The promoter pulled himself erect with grip on either arm of the chair.
 "Brouillard, do you know what you are talking about?" he demanded
 No; 1t Is only guess. But as mat ters stand-with your son indictable for an attempted murder if were you, MT. Cartwright. believe I'd give David Massingale chance to pay those notes at the bank"
 And let him blackmail me? Not in a month of Sundays, Brouillard! Let him sell his ore and pay the notes if he can. If he cant, I'll take the mine. All right" said the visitor placably You asked, and I've answered. Now let's come to something more vital to

members-which isn't much, owing to his own beastly condition at the time. He says young Massingale was threat ening something-som in con nection with the Coronida grant-and that he got the insane idea into his head that the only way to stop the threat was by killing Massingale"
 The sandy-gray eyes of the million aire promoter were shifting while he spoke, but Brouillard fixed and held them before he said: Why should Massingale threaten your son, MT. Cortwright?"
 q don't know" denied the promoter, and he said it without f1inching hairs breadth
 Then l can tell you" was the equal ly steady rejoinder Some time ago you lent David Massingale, through the bank, pretty large sum of money for development expenses on the Little Susan, taking mortgage on every thing in sight to cover the loan But when the railroad was an assured fact he learned that the Red Butte smelt- CTS wouldn't take his ore, giving some technical reason which he knew to be a mere excuse"
 MT. Cartwright nodded. "So far you might be reading it out of a book"
 Tn consequence, David Massingale finds himself in a fair way to become broken man by the simplest of com, mercial processes. The bank holds his notes, which will presently have to be paid. If he can't pay, the bank comes

 Brouillard took the opposite chair and was grimly amused at the length of time that elapsed before Massingale realized his presence. ------
