The young missionary was frowning
thoughtfully. Il think it was the

Brouillard Duttoned his coat and
pulled his soft hat over his eyes.
"I'm going to look for her." he said.
''WiIl you come along?"
Cashier nodded, and together they
put their shoulders to the crowd. Again
and again the engineer and his COM

half-drunken, gibe-hinging crush, and

crowded street from the plaza to the
Metropole corner Brouillard saw and
heard things to make his blood boil.
Twice before he reached Bongras' cafe
entrance the engineer shouldered his
way to the rescue Of some badgered
nucleus of excursionists, and in each
instance there were frightened women
to be hurriedly spirited away to the
nearest place of seclusion and safety.
1t was in front of Bongras' that,
Brouillard came upon Rev. Hugh Cast
ner, the hot-hearted young zealot who
had been flung into Mirapolis on the
crest of the tidal wave of mining ex.
citement. Though Hosford-who had
not been effaced, as Mr.. Cartwright
had promised he should be-and the
men of his clique called the young
missionary meddlesome visionary,
he stood in the stature of man, and
lower Chigringo avenue loved him and
swore by him now and then when some
poor soul, hastily summoned, was to
be eased off into eternity.
When Brouillard caught sight of him
Cashier was looking out over the
seething street caldron from his COM
manding height of six feet of athletic
man stature, his strong face a mask
of bitter humiliation and concern.
"Brouillard, this is simply hideousp'
he exclaimed. "If this devils carnival
goes on until nightfall we shall have a
revival of the old Roman Saturnalia
at its worst" Then, with swift blow
at the heart of the matter: You're
the man I've been wanting to see; you
ara pretty close in with the Cartwright
junta-is it true that free whisky has
been dealt out to the crowd over the
bar in the Niquoia building?"
Brouillard said that he did not know,
which was true, and that he could not
believe it possible, which was not true.
'The Cartwright people are as anxious
to have the celebration pass off peace
ably as even you can be-" he assured
the young missionary, trying to but
tress the thing which was not true.
When riot comes in at the door, bust.
ness flies out at the window; and,
after all, this feast of hurrahs is mere.
ly another bid for business"
But Cashier was shaking his head
Il can't answer for Mr.. Cartwright
personally. He and Handley and
Schermerhorn and few of the others
seem to stand for responsibility of a
sort. But, Mr.. Brouillard, 1 want to
tell you this: somebody in authority
is grating upon the vice of this com
munity, not only today but all the
time"
THE community is certainly vicious
enough to warrant any charge you can
make" admitted Brouillard. Then he
changed the topic abruptly. "Have you
seen Miss Massingale since noon?"
Eyes; l saw her with Smith, the
cattleman, at the other end of the ave.
nue. about an hour ago."
'Heavens!" gritted the engineer.
Didn't Smith know better than to

technical reason which he knew to be

Mr.. Cartwright nodded. $50 far you
might be reading it out of book"
In consequence, David Massingale
finds himself in a fair way TO become
a 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
back on you as his indorser, and you
fall back on your mortgage and take

when he said: Thank you. That
brings us down to the mention of the
Coronida grant and Stephen Massin-
gales threat-which your son can't re-
member"
"Right-o," said Mr.. Cartwright. still
with predetermined geniality. what
was the threat?"
Il 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-
gion 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"
Mr.. Cartwright held up fat hand.
Il know what you're going to say.
But we went into all that at Washing.
ton before we ever invested a 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 a 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 Massinga1e comes in, I inag-
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 lighted match

Mr.. ]. Wesley Cartwright flung him

and clasped his pudgy hands over the
top of his head where the reddisn-gray
hair was thinning reluctantly.

way the cat was going to jump" he ad.
mltted. If young Massingale is out of
danger, it is time to get action. What
was the quarrel about, between him
and Van Bruce?"
1t occurs to me that your son would
be a better source of information. -
said BrouiIlard, eveding.
Van Bruce has told me all he re.
members-which isn't much, owing TO
his own beastly condition at the time.
He says young Massingale was threat.
ening Notwithstanding 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, Mr..
Cortwright?"
Il don't know" denied the promoter,
and he said it without fiinching a hairs

". Al JONES SAYS
EXPERTS GARBLED THE
FAIR ACCOUNT REPORT
Charges That Richardson
Twisted Figures Uniustly
to Show Alleged Loss

"Figgers can't lie but figgerers can"
says w. AL Jones relative to the re-
port of the expert accountants on the
state fair books which purported to
show that the ex-seeretary operated
the state fair at an actual loss of
1882 rather than gain of about
$4,000 as first reported at the final
meeting of the board before A. H. Lea
was elected to succeed W. Al Jones as
secretary.
Mr.. Jones has not seen the report of
the expert but says they have charged
him uniustly of entering into un-
authorized contracts snce he was au-
thorized to proceed with President
Booth to employ a band and other at
fractions and that it would have been
folly and useless to be obliged to call
the board together every time some
manufacturer wanted to rent a hundred
feet -uare feet of floor space.
Mr.. Jones states that according to
the accounts as checked up December
l, 1914 Frank Meredith, the former
secretary, had $5,9S9.l4 on the books
at that time and when Mr.. Jones
turned the books over to A. II. Lea
there was credit of $S20S0S. Mr..
Jones says he placed over $1,000 in
permanent improvements on the fair
grounds and buildings and that it
would be as unjust to charge this to
operating expenses as it would have
been to charge chat Frank Meredith
lost 100000 in 1914 because the new
pavilion was erected.
Mr.. Jones promises to air the actual
financial condition of the fair as soon
as he has had a chance to look over
the report of the experts This report
is now in the Governors possession and
as GoEernor WithYcombe is ont of
town today it was impossible to secure
the report.
