through the street pandemonium to
Bongras'. At 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 a lifelike imitation Of a man
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.. Massingale?"
he laughed; and then: How is
Steve?"
Massingale nodded "The boys
comm along all right now. They're
sayin' on the street that you're lettin'
out half O. your men-that 500"
Brouillard laughed again. yes, it's
true. Have you been doing something
in real estate this morning, Mr.. Mas
singale?"
'All l could" mumbled the old man
between mouthfuls. but I cayn't do
much. If it amt one thing, it's an

"H0w was that?" eueried Brouillard,

Il see," said Brouillard, and truly
he saw much more than David Mas
singale did. Then: mo shipments
means no money for you, and more de-
lay; and delay happens to be the one
thing you can't stand When do those
notes of yours fall due?"
Massingale was troubled, and his
fine old face showed it plainly.

One Of Bongras' rear-room luxuries
was portable telephone for every
group Of tables. Brouillard made a
sign to the waiter, and the desk set
was brought to him. If David Mas
slngale recognized the number asked
for, he paid no attention; and, since
man may spend his life digging holes
in the ground and still retain the in
stincts Of gentleman-if he happens
to have been born with them-he was
equally oblivious to the disjointed half

and the ash on his cigar grew 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Not for publication, Harlan, I'm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 selling on
the real estate exchange?''
Brouillard did take time, plenty of It.
Harlan was 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.
The newspaper man rose and held
out his hand.
You're a man and brother, Brouil-
lard, and I'm your friend for life I'm
going to stay until you give me the
high sign to crawl out on the bank. Is
that asking too much?"

But don't lose sight Of the if and

its opportunities on the morning fol-
lowing the departure Of it's 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 Juror of specu-
latfve excitement in comparison with
which the orgy of the gold discOv-
erers paled into insignificance. Curb"
exchanges sprang into being in the
Metropole lobby, in the court of the
Niquoia building, and at dozen street
corners on the avenue. Word went to
the placers, and by noon 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.

o'clock and went to fight his way

Public opinion, skillfully formed up
Wright'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
onstlation 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 its 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 eager 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 Brouillards office
on the sixth floor Of the Niquoia build
ing, and thither he went, hoping
against hope, for latterly the chief of
the reclamation service had been more
than usually reticent

was the form his demand took.
Go to Cartwright" suggested the
engineer. He's your man"
Just come from him, and couldn't
get thing there except his admission
that he is buying instead of selling"
We'll, 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
