There were a dozen business blocks under construction in Mirapolis, with proportional number of dwellings and suburban villas at various stages h the race toward completion, when it began to dawn upon the collective consciousness of a daily increasing citizenry that something was missing Garner. the real estate plunger from Kansas City, first gave the missing quantity it's name. The distant thun- der of the blasts heralding the ap- proach of the railroad had ceased be- tween two days.
 Up to the period of the silenced dy. were projected daily. and investors, Iol1ed in over the high mountain trails )r across the Buckskin in dust-en- crusted automobiles by methods best known to gray-mustached adept in he art of promotion, thronged the obhy of the Hotel Metropole and bought and sold Mirapolis Corners" or 'insides" on steadily-ascending scale of prices
 A strange mania for holding on, for permanency, seemed to have become epidemic. Many of the working men were securing homes on the install. ment plan. good few of the villas could boast parquetry floors and tiled bathrooms. One coterie of Chicagoans decided to build a six-storied office building. with a ground floor corner for the Niquoia National bank with modern conveniences and that the chosen building material should be of nothing less permanent than mono lithic concrete.
 In harmony with the same spirit the newly incorporated Buckskin Gold Mining and Milling company plowed deep furrows to bedrock across and back until the face of Jacks mountain was zigzagged and scared like vet eran of many battles.
 In keeping was the energy with which MT Cartwright and his munich pal colleagues laid water mains, strung electric wires, drove the paving con- tractors, and pushed the trolley line to the stage at which it lacked only the rails and the cars awaiting shipment by the railroad
 This was the situation on the day when Garner, sharp-eared listener at the keyhole of opportunity, missing the dynamite rumblings, sent cipher wire of inquiry to the East, got a rush" reply. and began warily to un- load his Mirapolitan holdings. Being man of business. he tucked to cover first and talked afterward; but by the time his hint had grown to rumor size MT. Cartwright had sent for Broui- lard.
 Pull up chair and have a cigar" said the great man when Brouillard had penetrated to the nerve-center of the Mirapolitan activities in the Metro
The Huttig news., 1916-06-03

into the Kansas City man place of business at once.
 ''lt looks like run on a bank" said Brouillard
 1t is, was the crisp reply. Garner has beaten everybody else to the home plate, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He's been talking, and every man in that mob is potential panic breeder That thing has got to be nipped in the bud right now!'
 Yes" Brouillard agreed He was still wrestling with his own besetment the prompting which involved a de liberate plunge where up to the pres ent crisis he had been merely wading in the shallows A little thing stung him alive to the imperative call of the moment-the sight of Amy Massingale walking down the street with Fig Smith. the Triangle-Circle foreman. It was of the death of her hopes that he was thinking when he said coolly You have sized it up precisely, MT. Cartwright; that is panic in the mak- ing. and the bubble won't stand for very much pricking. Give me free hand with your check book for few minutes and I'll try to stop it.
 It spoke volumes for the millionaire promoters quick discernment and de- cision that he asked no questions. Do it," he snapped "I'll cover you for whatever it takes. Don't wait; that crowd is getting bigger every minute"
 Brouillard ran downstairs and across the street. It was TO part of his inten- tioG to stop and speak to Amy Mas singale and the ranchman, but he did it, and even walked a little way with them before he turned back to elbow his way through the sidewalk throng and into Gamers dingy little office.
 You are selling Mirapolis holdings short today, Garner?" he asked when he had pushed through the crowd to the spectators desk And when Gar ner laughed and said there were no takers he placed his order promptly You may bid in for me, at yesterdays prices, anything within the city limits not options, you understand, but the real thing. Bring your papers over to my office after banking hours and
The Huttig news., 1916-06-03

we'll close for whatever you've been able to pick up."
 He said it quietly, but there could be no privacy at such a time and in such a place.
 Whats that Mir Brouillard?" de- manded one in the counter jam You're giving Garner blank card to buy for your account? Say, that's plenty good enough for me Garner, cancel my order to sell will you? When the chief engineer of the gov ernment water works believes in Mir apolis futures and bets his money on 'em, I'm not selling"
 The excitement was already dying down and the crowd was melting away from Gamers sidewalk when Brouil- lard rejoined Mir Cartwright in the second floor room across the street.
 Well, it's done," he announced shortly, adding: Its only a stop- gap. To make the bluff good, you've got to have the railroad"
 That's the talk" said the promoter relighting the cigar which the few minutes of crucial suspense had extin- guished. And then, without warning: You're carrying something up your sleeve, Brouillard. What is it?"
 Tt is the one thing you need, MT. Cartwright. If I could get my own consent to use it l could bring the railroad here in spite of those New Workers who seem to have an attack of cold feet"
 MT. J. Wesley Cortwrights hesita- tion was so brief as to be almost i'm perceptible. q suppose that is your way of saying that your share in the table stakes isn't big enough. All right the game can't stop in the mid dle of bet. How much is it going to cost us to stay in?'
 The cost isn't precisely in the kind of figures that you understand best, MT. Cartwright" Brouillard said half muSingly. Then, with sudden vehe- mence: Tt is altogether a question of motive with me, MT. Cortwright Of motive which you couldn't understand in thousand years. If that motive prevails. you get your railroad and little longer lease of life. If it doesn't, Mirapolis will go to the devil some few weeks or months ahead of it's schedule and I'll take my punishment with the remainder of the fools-and the knaves"
 He was on his feet and moving to- ward the door of exit when the pro moter got his breath.
 Here. hold on, Brouillard-for heavens sake. don't go off and leave it up in the air that wayl" he pro tested.
The Huttig news., 1916-06-03

come in with the news or the sure thing and the location of it. When he gets the facts he'll touch of the fire works, and the world will be invited to take a running jump for the new Tonopah" Then, with sudden anxiety: T wish to goodness Brouillard would turn up and get busy on his job9 It's something hideous to be stranded this way in the thick of storm!"
 It's time somebody was getting busy" snarled Handley. There are hundred tons of fresh concrete lying in the forms, just as they were dumped with no puddlers-to say nothing of half as much freezing to solid rock right now in the mixers and on the telphers."
 Grislow got up and reached for his coat and hat.
 "I'm going out to hunt for the boss" he said, "and you fellows had better do the same. If this is one of Cort- wright's flip-flaps, and Brouillard hap pened to be in the way, wouldn't put it beyond J. Wesley to work some kind of disappearing racket on the human obstacle"
 The suggestion was carried out i'm mediately by the three to whom it was made. but for reason of his own the Photographer contrived to be the last to leave the mapping room. When he found himself alone he returned has tily to the desk and pulled out the drawer of portents, rummaging in it little buckskin bag of nuggets was gone Then, instead of following the others, he took a fieldglass from it's case on the wall and went to the south window to focus it upon the Massin- gale cabin, standing out clear-cut and distinct in the afternoon sunlight on it's high, shelflike bench.
 The powerful glass brought out two and man. The woman was standing and the man was sitting on the step. Grislow lowered the glass and slid the telescoping sun tubes home with a snap
 Good God!" he unused. its unbe- lievable! He deliberately turns this thing loose on us down here and then takes an afternoon off to go and make love to a girl He's crazy; it's the seven-vear devil he talks about And nobody can help him: nobody-nless Amy can. Lord, Lord"

 You will probably tell her the first idiotic thing that comes into the back part of your head And if you tell her anything bilious about me I'll lay for you some dark night with a pick handle"
 Grislow laughed reminiscently. "She won't ask" he said.
 Why not 2"
 Because the last time she did it I told her your scalp was dangling at Miss Genevieve's belt"
 They had reached the door of the log-built quarters and Brouillard spun the jester around with a shoulder grip that was only half playful.

Epochal

At the other extremity of the trajec. tory of Grislow's telltale fieldglass Brouillard was summing himself luxu- riously on the porch step at the Mas singale house and making up for lost time-counting all time lost when 1t spelled absence from the woman he loved. But Miss Massingale was in a charmingly frivolous frame Of mind:
 That is the fourth different excuse you have invented for cutting me out of your visiting list. not counting the repetitions," she gibed, when he had finally fallen back upon the time de- mands of his work to account for his late neglect of her. If wanted to be hateful I might insist that you haven't given the true reason yet"
The Huttig news., 1916-06-03

But the corridor door had opened and closed and Brouillard was gone.
 Two hours later Mirapolis the phre- netic had new thrill, shock so cleo trifying that the rumor of the rail. roads halting decision sank into insig nificance and was forgotten. The sud denly-evoked excitement focused in a crowd besieging the window of the principal jewelry. shop-focussed more definitely upoE square of white pa per in the window in the center of which was displayed little heap of virgin gold in small nuggets and coarse grains.
 While the crowds in the street were still struggling and fighting to get near enough to read the labelling pla- card, the Daily Spotlight came out with an extra which was all headlines, the telegraph wires to the East were buzzing, and the town had gone mad The gold specimen-so said the pla- card and the news extra-had been washed from one of the bars in the Niquoia.
 By three o'clock the madness had eliminated in the complete stoppage of all work among the town builders and on the great dam as well, and gold-crazed mobs were frantically dig ging and banning on every bar in the river from the valley outlet to the power dam five miles away.
