Brouillard nodded. II don't know
what Harding did, but Smith, the Tri-
angle-Circle foreman, tells me that
Steve was on the warpath; he told
Harding when he left, last summer,
that If he ever came back to Niquoia,
he'd come to stay-and stay dead"
II never did like Harding any too
WE'LL" was the photographers defini-
tive comment, and Brouillard went
back to the matter OF the morning s
seance and its golden outcome.
THAT Is only little side issue.
Steve Massingale came to me this
morning with a proposal that was
about as cold-blooded as slap in the
face. Naturally, for good business rea'

War Arrow pass into the Niquoia. In

A Fire of Little Sticks

Two days after the arrival Of the
letter from Washington announcing
the approaching invasion Of private
capital, Brouillard, returning from q
horseback trip to the Buckskin, where
Arson and Griffith were setting grade
stakes for the canal diggers, found a
visitor awaiting him in the camp mead
quarters Office.
One glance Mt the thick-Dodied,
heavy-faced man chewing an extinct
cigar while he made himself comfort
able in the only approach to loung-
ing chair that the Office afforded was
sufficient to awaken an alert antago-
nism. The big man introduced him
self without taking the trouble to get
out of his chair.

Brouillard laughed.
"All of which is bad enough, you'd
say, Murray; but 1t isn't the worst Of

"What did he tell your" Brouillard
demanded half angrily.
ooh, nothing much; nothing to make
you hot at him. He said he gathered
the notion that the young sorehead
was trying to bully you"
"He was" was the brittle admission.
"See here, Grizzly"
The thing to be seen was a small
buckskin bag which, when opened,
gave up a paper packet folded like a
medicine powder. The paper contained
spoonful of dust and pellets of metal
of a dull yellow luster.
The photographer drew long
breath and fingered the nuggets.
"Gold-placer gold!" he exclaimed,
and Brouillard nodded and went on to
tell how he had come by the bag and
its contents.
"Massingale had an ak to grind, of
course. You may remember that
Harding talked loosely about the Mas
singale opposition to the building of
the dam. There was nothing in 1t.
The opposition was purely personal.
and 1t was directed against Harding
himself, with Amy Massingale for the
exciting cause"

fused to sell for low prices, an almost
unprecedented supply is en- route TO the

Still another supply will be found IN
