CHAPTER TX The Speedway

It was in the days after he had found on his desk long envelope in- closing certificate for a thousand shares of stock in the Niquoia Electric Power, Lighting and Traction company that Brouillard began to lose his nick name of "Hsil's-Fjre" among ais work men, with the premise of attaining, in due time, to the mere a1fectionate title of the Little Big Boss

 '1'd do that, anyhow, as chief of con- struction on the dam."
 You mean you would try to do it. AS an officer of the power company, you can do it; as an official kicker on the outside, you couldn't feaze us a particle. What? You'd put us out of business? Not much, you wouldn't; we'd play politics with you and get a man for your job who wouldn't kick"
 Well" said the inheritor of sudden wealth, still matching the promoters mood. you won't get me fired now, that's one comfort. When will you want my expert opinion on your aux Hilary dam?"
 "On our dam, you mean. Oh, any time soon; say tomorrow or Friday or Saturday, if that hurries you too much. We sha'n't want to go to work on it before Monday"
 Being himself an exponent of the modern theory that the way to do things is to do them now, Brouillard accepted the hurry order without com ment. Celerity, swiftness of accom- plishment that was almost magical, had become the Mirapolitan order of the day. Plans conceived overnight leaped to their expositions in things done as if the determination to do them had been all that was necessary to their realization.

CHAPTER VIII Mirapoiis

During the strenuous weeks when Camp Niquoia's straggling street was acquiring plank sidewalks and getting itself transformed into Chigringo ave nue, with double row of false-fronted "emporiums" to supplant the shack shelters, Monsieur Poudrecaulx Bon gras, late of the San Francisco tender loin. opened the camps first counter grill.
 Finding monsieur's name impossible in both halves of it. the camp grinned and rechristened him "Poodles." Later, discovering his dual gift of past mas tership in potato frying and coffee making. the camp gave him vogue. Out of the vogue sprang In swift sue cession a cafe with side tables, res

 Yes. He offered to buy my vet with block of Little Susan sto That wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't talked about it."
 When MT Ford comes you must forget what Stevie said and what have said. Goodby."
 An hour later Brouillard was closet ed in his log-built office quarters with a big, far-faced man, whose rough tweeds and unbrushed soft hat pro claimed him fresh from the dusty-dry reaches of the Quesado trail.
 It is your own opinion that l want Victor" the fair-faced man was saying mot the government engineers. Can We make the road pay if we bring ii here? That is question which you can answer better than any other liv ing man You are here on the ground and you've been here from the first.
 You've had It out with Cort- wright" Brouillard asked And then: Where is he new-in Chicago?"
 No. He is on his way to the Mi quoia, coming over in his car from Fl Cato. But never mind J. Wesley. You are the man l came to see"
 T can give you the facts," was the quiet rejoinder.
 A smile wrinkled at the corners of the big mans eyes.
 You are dodging the issue, Victor, and you know it" he objected. What l want is your personal notion If you were the executive committee of the Pacific Southwestern, would you, or would you not, build the extension? That's the point I'm trying to make"
 Brouillard got up and went to the window. When he turned back to the man at the desk he was frowning thoughtfully, and his eyes were the eyes of one who sees only the clearly etched lines of a picture which ob- scures all outward and visual objects. the picture he saw was of a sweet-faced young woman, laughing through her tears and saying: Be- sides, the railroad Is coming; it's got to come."
 If you put it that way he said to the man who was waiting, If you in sist on pulling my private opinion out by the roots, you may have it. I'd build the extension"

it-but you can't And it changes ev- erything for you. distorts everything, eolors your entire life. It's heart breaking!"
 This was dangerous ground for him and he knew it. In the ardor of young manhood he had taken up the vicari- ous burden dutifully, and at that time his remuneration of the things that other men strove for seemed the light est of the many fetterings. But now love for a woman was threatening to make the renunciation too grievous to be borne.
 How did you know?" he queried cu- riously. Tt does change things. I'd sell anything I've got, save one, for a chance at the freedom that other men have@Sand don't value"
 What is the one thing you wouldn't sell?" she questioned, and Brouillard chose to discover a gently quickened interest in the clear-seeihg eyes.
 My love for the-for some woman. I'm saving that, you know. Il is the only capital I'll have when the big debt is paid"
 Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?' she asked, looking down at him with the grimacing little smile that always reminded him of a caress. T have been wondering whether she fs or isn't worth the effort-and the reservation you make. Because 1t is all in that. you know You can do and be what you want to do and be fl you only want to hard enough"
 He was looking down, chiefly be. cause he dared not look up, when he answered soberly: "She is worth it many times over; her price is above rubies. Money, much or little. wouldn't be in it."
 That is better-much better. Now we may go on to the ways and means {; they are all in the man, not in the things, not none whatsoever as Fig would say Let me show you what mean.

game. We have imported every work man we've needed, and we shall ip- port more That's one thing mono Of us can afford to do-bull the labor market And it won't be necessarv: we have a trainload of Italians and Bulgarians on the way to Quesado to- day, and they ought to be here by Monday"
 You are a wonder MT Cartwright" was Brouillards s tribute to the worker of modern miracles, and he went his way to ride to the upper end of the valley for the exploring purpose.
 On the MoAday. as President Cort- wright had so confidently predicted, the train load of laborers had marched in over the War Arrow trail and the work on the auxiliary power dam was begun. On the Tuesday small army of linemen arrived 10 set the poles and to string the wires for the light ing of the town. On the Wednesday there were fresh aecessions to the army of builders. and the freighters on the Quesado trail reported a steady stream of artisans pouring in to rush the city-making.
 On the Thursday the grading and paving of Chigringo avenue was be- gun, and, true to his promise, MT. Cort- wright was leaving right of way in the street for the future trolley tracks And 1t was during this event full week that the distant thunder of the dynamite brought the welcome tidings of the pushing of the railroad grade over the mountain barrier Also but this was an item of minor i'm portance-it was on the Saturday of this week that the second tier of forms was erected on the great dam and the stripped first section of the massive gray foot-wall of concrete raised itself in mute but eloquent protest against the feyerish activities of the miracle workers. If the protest were threat, it was far removed. Many things might happen before the gray wall should rise high enough to cast it's shadow, and the shadow of the coming end, over the miraculous city of the plain.
 It was Brouillard himself who put this thought into words on the Sunday when he and Grislow were looking over the work of form raising and find ing it good.
 Catching you, too. is 1t, victor?" queried the Photographer. dropping easily into his attitude of afiable cyEi- cism. T thought it would. But tell me, what are some of the things that may happen?"
 Its easy to predict two of them: Some people will make pot of money and some will lose out"
 Grislow nodded "Of course yoms don't take any stock in the rumor that the government will call a halt?"
