CHAPTER vi
Symptomatic

For some few minutes the two on
the cabin porch made no attempt to
talk, but when the rumbling thunder
of the ore-car which the elder Mas
singale was pushing ahead of him into
the mine had died away in the SUBJ
terranean distances Brouillard began
again.
II do get your point of view-some-
times" he said. Civilization, or what
stands for 1t, does have way Of
shrinking into littleness, not to say
cheapness, when one can get the
proper perspective. And your life up
here on Chigringo has given you the
needful detached point of view"
The trouble shadows In the eyes of
the young woman who was sitting In
the fishnet hammock gave place to a
smile of gentle derision.
do you call that civilization" she
demanded, indicating the struggling
new town spreading itself, maplike, in
the valley below.
II suppose II is-one form of It, At
least 1t is civilization in the making.
Everything has to have some sort of a
beginning"
Miss Massingale acquiesced in a
little uptilt of her perfectly rounded
chin.
''Just the same, you don't pretend to
say you are enjoying It," she said in
manifest depreciation.
"Oh, don't know. My work is down
there. A few weeks ago l was right
eously hot. 1t seemed so crudely un.
necessary to start a pigeon-plucking
match at this distance from Wall
street."
But now" she queried-"now. l sup
pose, you have become reconciled?
Il am growing more philosophical
let us say. There are just about so
many pigeons to be plucked, anyway;
they'd mott IL they weren't plucked
And 1t may as well be done here as
on the stock exchange, when you come
to think of It,"
II like you least when you talk that
way" said the young woman in the
hammock, with open-eyed frankness
do you do 1t as other men do?-just
to hear how 1t sounds?"
Brouillard, sitting on the top step
of me porch, leaned his head against
the porch post and laughed.
"You know too much--a lot too
much for a person of your tender
years." he asserted. Which names

full reply to be made to this. Brouillard
bent lower over his work and said
nothing. At every fresh step in the
forced acquaintance the newcomer
was painstakingly developing new an
tagonisms. Sooner or later Brouillard
knew, 1t would come to an open rup-
ture, but he was hoping that the actual
hostilities could be postponed until
after Hosford had worn out his tenn
neers' mess.
For a time the big man in the easy
chair smoked on In silence. Then he
began again:
Say, Brouillard saw one little girl
today that didn't belong to your work.
men 's-family outfit, and she's peach;
came riding down the trail with her
brother from that mine up on the
south mountain-Massingale isn't it?
By Jove! she fairly made my mouth
water!"
Inasmuch as no man can read field
notes when the page has suddenly be-
come red blur, Brouillard looked up.
"You are my guest, in way, Mr.
Hosford; for that reason ! can't very
well tell you what l think of you"
So much he was able to say quietly.
Then the control mechanism burned
out in a flash Of fiery rage and he
cursed the guest fuently and compre-
hensively, winding up with crude
and savage threat of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
IL he should ever venture so much as
to name Miss Massingale again in the
threatener's hearing.
Hosford sat up slowly. and his big
face turned darkly red
WELL" he broke out. $50 you're
that kind Of fire-eater, are you?
l didn't suppose anything like that
ever happened outside of the ten-cent
shockers. Wake up, man; this is the
twentieth century we're living in.
Don't look at me that way!"
But the wave Of insane wrath was
already subsiding, and Brouillard, half
ashamed of the momentary lapse into
| savagery, was once more scowling
down at the pages of his notebook,
when the door opened and Quinlan,
the operator, came in with commu-
| nication fresh from the Washington
wire. The message was an indirect
reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal
to the higher powers. Brouillard read
it, stuck it upon the file, and took a
roll of blueprints from the bottom
| drawer of his desk.
Here are the drawings for your
power installation, Mr.. Hosford," he
said, handing the roll to the man in
the chair And little later he went
out to smoke pipe in the open air,
leaving the message of inquiry he had
intended to send unwritten.

est of the many fetterings. But now
love for a woman was threatening to
make the remuneration too grievous to
be borne.
How did you know" he queried GU
riously. 1T does change things. I'd
sell anything I've got, save one,. for q
chance at the freedom that other men
have-and don't value"
What is the one thing you wouldn't
SELF" she questioned, and Brouillard
chose to discover gently quickened
interest in the clear-seeing eyes.
"My love for the-for some woman.
I'm saving that, you know. IT is the
only capital I'll have when the big
debt is paid"
do you want me to be frivolous
or serious?" she asked, looking down
at him with the grimacing little smile
that always reminded him Of a caress.
II have been wondering whether she
is or isn't worth the effort-and the
reservation you make. Because 1t Is
all in that, YOU know. You can do and
be what you want to do and be II
you only want to hard enough"
He was looking down, chiefly be-
cause he dared not look UP, when he
answered soberly: "She is worth
1t many times over; her price is above
rubies. Money, much or little, wouldn't
be in it,"
THAT is better-much better. Now
we may go on to the ways and means |;

things, not none whatsoever as Tig
would say. Let me show you what I

And now he is going to make good

Brouillard got UP.
II must be going back down the

years the scions will grow so as to
completely cover the trunk. A
pamphlet Just issued by the depart
ment of agriculture tells how this is
done. The illustration shows the de-
tails of bridge grating, and will prob
ably be understood without further
description. After little practice the
operator will learn how to do this
rapidly and effectively, and II the in
jured trees are taken in time, they
would be saved so that they will grow
profitably. Sometimes when there Is

BRIDGE GRATING Is NEEDED
Where Considerable Damage Has Been
Done by Rabbits Gnawing Bark,
Grating Is Required.

In response to q query as to what
was best to do for young pear and ap-
pie trees damaged by rabbits gnawing
the bark, Rural New Yorker makes
the following reply:
Where the trees have been eaten
entirely around, so that the trunk is
completely girdled, nothing can be
done except to bridge graft the tree.
This means using scions Of small
limbs to connect the bark below the
wound with that above it. Thus the
injured area is braced by number
of scions, one end in the uninjured
part above and the other below the
wound. This makes connection be-
tween the live tissues. The sap is
carried up through these scions. In
time they unite like any other graft.
and If properly cared for after some
