SYNOPSIS.

Brouillard, chief engineer of the Niquoia
irrigation dam, meets J. Wesley Cort-
wright and explains the reclamation work
to him. Cartwright organizes a COMPANY
and obtains government contracts to fur
nish power and material. Steve Massln-
gale threatens to start a gold rush if
Broulllard does not use his influence to
bring a railroad branch to the place, thus
opening an easy market for the Little
Susan" mine ore. Brouillard tells Amy
Massingale Of his need for money to pay
OF his dead fathers debts. She tells him
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
OF the power company in return for $780,
900 stock. Stoppage of work on the rail-
road threatens a panic. Brouillard spreads
the Massingale story OF placer gold in
the river bed and starts a gold rush,
which promises to stop the reclamation
project. Amy tells Brouillard that her
father is in Cortwright's financial
clutches. He tells her he has made $780,
GOO and declares his love. She loves him,
but shows him that he has become demon
allied. A real gold f1nd Is made. Brouil-
lard sells his stock but does not pay his
fathers debts. Cortwright's son shoots
Steve M~assingale. Brouillard threatens
Cartwright with exposure If he pushes
Massingale to the wall. The magnate
promises to give the old man a free field.
Stories of the dams abandonment revive.
Foreclosure on the Little Susan Is i'm
pending and Brouillard loans Dave Mas
singale his 100000 to clear him. Massin-
gale CANDLES away the entire amount.

Brouillard, walking out Of Mr.. Cort-
wright's new Offices with his thoughts
afar, wondered if it were by pure coin
cidence that he found Cashier appar-
entity waiting for him on the sidewalk.
Once more you are just the man I
have been wanting to see," the young
missionary began, promptly making
use Of the chance meeting. May l
break in with a bit Of bad news?"
There is nc such thing as good

that you own me, Mr.. Cartwright? I
have often wondered"
We'll, l might say that l have made
you what you are, and"
That's true; the truest thing you
ever said," snapped Brouillard.
And, l was going to add, l can un-
make you Just Is easily. But l don't
want to be savage with you. All I'm
asking is a little Information first, and
a little judicious help afterward. What
are your orders from the department? ?"
Brouillard got up and stood ove the
stocky man in the Office chair, with the
black eyes blazing.
"Mr. Cartwright, l said a moment ago
that you have made me what | am,
and you have. l am infinitely a worse
man than you are, because l know bet
ter and you don't. 1t is no excuse for
me that l have had a motive which l
haven't explained to you, because, as l
once told you, you couldn't understand
it in a thousand years. The evil has
been done and the consequences, to
you, to me, and to everyone in this
cursed valley are certain. Facing them
as l am obliged to face them, l am tell
ing you-but what's the use? You
can't make a tool of me any longer
that's all. You must cook your meat
over your own fire. I'm out Of it,"
Il can smash YOU" said the man in
the chair, quite without heat.
mo, you can't even do that" was
the equally cool retort. mo mans
fate is in another mans hands"
He was moving toward the door, but
Cartwright stopped him.
One more word before you go,
Brouillard. 1t is to be war between us
from this on"
Il don't say that. 1t would be awk-
ward for US both now. Let Is be

terfere with me and I won't interfere
with you"
All" said the millionaire. Nov
you have brought it around to the
point I was trying to reach. You don't
want to have anything more to do
with me, but you are not quite ready
to cash in and pull out of the game.
How much money have you got?"
The COG. i%mpudence of the question
brought a dull flush to the young mans
face, but he would give the enemy no
advantage in the matter Of superior
self-control.
"That is scarcely a fair question
even between armed neutrals." he OBJ
jected. why do you want to fnow?"
I'm asking because you have Just
proposed the noninterference policy,
and I'd like to know how fairly you
mean to live up to it. A little while

"Your business, maybe; it falls right

was the quick retort.
Gam I my brothers. keeper" said
the engineer pointedly, catching step
with the long-legged stride Of the ath-

"Not II you claim kinship with Cain,
who was the originator of that very
badly outworn query" came the an
swer shotlike. Then: "What has come
over you lately, Brouillard? You are a
friend Of the Massingales; I've had

cent man today, Cashier. You'd better
edge off and leave me alone"
Cashier did not take the blunt init
nation. For the little distance inter-
vening between the power company's
new Offices and the Niquoia building
he tramped beside the young engineer
in silence. But at the entrance to the
Niquoia he would have zone his way il

Cashier accepted the implied chal-

cended to Brouillard's Offices. Once be-
hind the closed door, Brouillard struck
out viciously.
You fellows claim to hold the keys
to the conscience shop; suppose you
open up and dole out a little OF the
precious commodity to me, Cashier. Is
it ever justiiable to do evil that good

the denial.

risive.
