Brouillard's antagonist in the game of
hardihood changed his tactics.
Forget it," he growled morosely.
What do you want this timer"
Il want you to send a wire to Red
Butte telling the smelter people that
you will be glad to have them handle
the Little Susan ORE"
And il do?"
'lf you do, two things otherwise due
to happen adversely will go over to
your side of the market. I'll agree to
keep out OF the way of the sham Wash
ington delegation, and / think I can
promise that Harlan won't make a
scarehead of the facts concerning the
Coronida land titles"
Mr.. Cartwright thrust the other arm
into the remaining coat sleeve and
scowled. But the rebound to the norm
of brusque good nature came almost
Immediately.
You are improving wonderfully,
Brouillard, and that's no joke. have
large respect for man who can out
bid me in my own corner. You ought
to be in business-and you will be,
some time. I'll send the wire, but
warn you in advance that can't make
the smelter people take Massingales
ore II they don't want to. All can do
is to give the old man a free field"
THAT is all he will ask-all I'll ask
except one small personal favor: Don't
rub your masquerading Washington
delegation into me too hard. A fine
quality of noninterference is about al
you are buying from me-"
Tell me one thing, Brouillard
What is your stake in the Massingale
game? Are you silent partner in the
Little Susan'?"
mo"
Then why are you so anxious to
make old David rich man at my ex
pense? Are you going to marry the
girl?"
The engineer did not resent the ques
ton as he would have resented it a
few weeks earlier. Instead he smiled
and said "a little while ago, Mr.
Cartwright, I told you that you didn',
know men; now I'll add that you DOM
know women"

Son Wanted to Prove Il.

Father sat in his study one after
noon writing out speech, when his
son called shrilly from the garden:
dad. Look out of the window"
what a nuisance children are at
times!" grumbled the parent as he
put down his pen and advanced TO the
window. With half smile he raised
the sash and stuck forth his head
"Well, Harry, what is it?" he asked.
The boy from a group of young
sters, called out, Dad, Tommy Per-
kins didn't believe that you had no
nair on the top of your head"

What the Tea Leaves Tell.

DO you know how to tell fortunes
in teacup? 1t furnishes great dea
of entertainment at a party. Ihis
Chinese rhyme explains it:
zone leaf, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three together, your wish will gain;
Four, letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter will bring;
Six in n row, a song you'll sing.
Seven together. good fortune awaits,
So say to you the teacups' fates.
Tea leaves large and tea leaves tall
Bring you company, great and small.
Tea leaves Ilany and scattered fine
Is of bad luck the surest sign.
Tea leaves few and near the rim,
Your cup of JOY o'erilows the brim.'

Taken PhiIosophicaIly.

An Irishman was sauntering home
ward from his labors one pay day
when he passed quarry where some
blasting was being done. Just as he
passed blast came and blew one of
his hands off. The quarrymen quickly
gathered about and condoled with him
while awaiting the ambulance.
"What fearful thing!" cried one OF
them.
"Oh, WE'LL" answered Murphy, lit
might ha' been worse"
"How's that?" asked the man.
ut might ha' been the hand wild me
wages in"

The newspaper man rose and he'd

The newspaper man rose and hesd
out his hand.
You're a man and brother, Brouii-
lard. and I'm your friend for life. I'm
going to stay until you give me the
high sign to crawl out on the bank. Is
that asking too much?"
mo. II the time ever comes when I
have anything to say, I'll say it to you.
But don't lose sight Of the IT, and
don't lean too hard on me. I'm a
mighty uncertain quantity these days,
Harlan, and that's the trucst thing I've
told you since you butted in. Good
night"
Mirapolis awoke to q full sense Of
its opportunities on the morning fol-
lowing the departure of its distin-
guished guests. BY ten o'clock 1t was
the talk of the Hobbies, the club, and
the exchanges that the reclamation
service was already abandoning the
work on the great dam. One-half Of
the workmen were to be discharged at
once, and doubtless the other half
would follow as soon as the orders
could come from Washington.
Appealed to by a mob Of anxious in
quirers. Brouillard did not deny the
fact of the discharges, and thereupon
the city went mad in a Juror OF specu-
which the orgy OF the gold discov-
erers paled into insignificance. Curb"
exchanges sprang into being in the
Metropole lobby, in the court Of the
Niquoia building, and at a dozen street
corners on the avenue. Word went to
the placers, and by noon the miners
had left their sluice-boxes and were
pouring into town to buy options at
prices that would have staggered the
widest plunger otherwhere, or at any
other time.
Brcuillard closed his desk at one
o'clock and went to fight his way
through the street pandemonium to
Bongras'. At a table in the rear room
he found David Massingale, his long,
white beard tucked into the closely
buttoned miners coat to be out Of the
way of the flying knife and fork, while
begrudging every second of time
wasted in stopping the hunger gap.
Brouillard took the opposite chair
and was grimly amused at the length
Of time that elapsed before Massingale
realized his presence.
"Pity a man has to stop to eat on
day like this, isn't it, Mr.. Massingale?"
he laughed; and then: How is
Steve?"
Massingale nodded. THE boys
comm along all right now. They're
sayin' on the street that you're lettin'
out half o. your men-that 500"
Brouillard laughed again. yes, it's
true. Have you been doing something
in real estate this morning, Mr.. Mas
singale?"
"All l could" mumbled the old man
between mouthfuls. But I cayn't do
much. II it amt one thing, it's an
other. Bout as soon as ] got that
tangle with the Red Butte smelter
Strengthened out, the railroad hit me. "
"How was that? ?" queried Brouillard,
with quickening interest coming alive
at bound.
Same old song, no cars; try and get
'em tomorruh, and tomorruh it'll be
next day, and next day it'll be the day
after. Looks like they don't want to
haul any freight out o. here"
II see," said Brouillard, and truly
he saw much more than David Mas
singale did. Then: "No shipments
