@ )CHAPTER XVICM
Z Flood Tide ~

Public opinion, skillfully formed up
on models fashioned in Mayor 'Cort-
w%right's municipal laboratory, dealt
handsomely with the little group Of
widely-heralded visitors-the CON
gressional committee" When it was
whispered about, some days before the
suspicious arrival, that the visiting
lawmakers wished for no public dem
onstration Of welcome, it was resolved,
both in the city council and in the
Commercial club, that the wish should
be rigidly respected.
Hence, after the farewell banquet at
the Commercial club, at which even
the toasts had ignored the official mis-
sion Of Mayor Cortwright's guests, tin
Cling curiosity still restrained itself,
said nothing and did nothing until the
train had stormed out on the begin
ming Of it's steep climb to War Arrow
pass. Then the barriers went down. In
less than half an hour after the depar-
ture of the visitors, the Spotlight Of
flee was besieged by cage. tip hunters,
and the Metropole cafe and lobby were
thronged and buzzing like the compart-
ments of an anxious beehive.
Harlan stood the pressure at the
newspaper Office as long as he could.
Then he slipped out the back way.
There was a light in Brouillard's Office
on the sixth floor Of the Niquoia build
ing, and thither he went, hoping
against hope, for l~atterly the chief of
the reclamation service had been more
than usually reticent.
What do you know, Brouillard?"
was the form his demand took.
Go to Cartwright" suggested the
engineer. Hes your man."
Just come from him, and I couldn't
get a thing there except his admission
that he is buying instead Of selling"
well, what more do you want?
Haven't you any Imagination"
PLENTY of it, and, by Cad, I'm going
to use it unless you put it to sleep!
Tell me a few correlative things,
Brouillard, and I'll make a noise like
going away. Is it true that you've had
orders from Washington within the
past few days to cut your force on the
dam one-half"
The engineer was playing with the
paperknife. absently marking little cir
cles and ellipses on his desk blotter,
and the ash on his cigar grew a full
quarter of an inch before he replied:
Not for publication, Harlan, I'm
sorry to say"
But you have the order?"
"Yes."
Good. Then I'll ask only one more
question, and if you answer it at all l
know you'll tell me the truth: Are
you, individually, buying or sellino IN
the real estate exchanged"
Brouillard did take time, plenty Of it.
Harlan was a student of men, but his
present excitement was against him.
Otherwise he would have interpreted
differently the sudden hardening Of the
jaw muscles when Brouillard spoke.
I'm buying, Harlan; when / sell It
is only to buy again."

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

quality Of noninterference is about all

Tell me M thing, Brouillard:

game? Are you a silent partner in the
Little Susan'?
NO"
Then why are you so anxious to
make old David a rich mana 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, l told you that you didn't

to be true to himself. He decides for the
extension. Mirapolis. the city of num-
bered days, booms. Cartwright persuades
Brouillard to become consulting engineer

JACKSON,
Now that the First Mississippi lnfan'

service Of Uncle Sam, the men who
have been doing some extra hard work
In order TO lick the guard into such
shape as to pass the scrutiny Of the
mustering-in officers can breathe
somewhat easier. The two men upon
whom the brunt of preparation has
fallen most heavily are Adjt.-GeG.
Scales and Maj T. b. Baker.
Ordnance, tentage. bedding, clothing
and other necessary supplies are con.
stantly being hauled to camp, and
when the company strength is finally
built up these supplies will be distrib,
uted as rapidly as possible.
Discussing the future arrangements
as they appear in outline, Adjt-Gen.
Scales stated that it is believed Just
as soon as the First Regiment is final,
ly equipped and off to the border or

the first independent battalion to be
modified.
As stated by the Acknowledgement,

who fail to take the new oath will be
forthwith mustered out OF the service.
In the event that any organization or
unit Of the Independent battalion has
not recruited up to the G5-man mini
mum when the orders to mobilize are
issued, that unit that is reported snort
will be forthwith mustered out as o
part of the state national guard.
In some instances certain ON
panies have equipment on hand which
has seer service for several years,
such as bedding, arms and other ac-
coutrements, putees, shoes, cartridge

Tax Law Explained.

Duncan l.. Thompson, chairman OF
the Mississippi state tax commission,
has prepared a comprehensive state.
ment, in words and fixture" taken from
the official records, to show the in
equalities Of taxation and revenue
building under the system which has
prevailed, but which Is to be changed
by the practical operation Of the uni
form valuation and tax law of 1916.
This statement is being sent to each
board Of supervisors in the state, with
the advice that much property Is not
assessed and much is greatly under
valued. This result, as stated, Is part
ly due to supervisors and assessors
failing to do their sworn duty, and
partly to the individual citizen, fear
ing that he will be overtaXed.
Secretary Vim. f. Gray Of the tax
commission, who has made a deep and
comprehensive study Of the subject.
advances the opinion that Mississip.
PTS tax methods are probably the
most irrational and archaic that pre-
vail anywhere in the United States,
and under them, perhaps, a greater in
equality and ~inequity of tax distrlbu-
ton prevails than in almost any other
state.

The newspaper man rose and held

You're 8 man and a brother. Brouil'

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 trueSt thing I've
told you since you butted in. Good
night"
Mirapolis awoke TO a full sense OF
its opportunities on the morning fol
lowing the departure of its distin'
guished guests. By ten O'Clock it 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 q Juror Of specu'
lative excitement in comparison with
which the orgy Of the gold discov'
erers paled into insigniicance. 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 Don 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.
Brouillard 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
he gave u lifelike imitation Of a mar
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.

day like this, isn't it, Mr.. M~assingale?'
he laughed; and then: How is

Massingale nodded. 1.-THE boys

"All l could" mumbled the old man
between mouthfuls. But l cayn't do

other. Bout as soon as | got that
tangle with the Red Butte smelter

How was that?" queried Brouillard,
with q%uickening interest coming alive
at a bound.
Same old song, no cars; try and get
EN- tomorruh, and tomorruh it'll be
next day, and next day it'll be the day
after. Looks like they don't want to
