p The construction of the new city
went on apace.
Many of the working-men we're
securing homes on the installment
plan. A good few of the villas
could boast parquetry floors and
tiled bathrooms.
In harmony with the same spirit
was the energy with which Mr..

electric wires and pushed the troll
feyin line to the stage at which It
lacked only the rails and the cars

The enthusiast paused to let tn,
information sink in, also to not,
the effect upon the subject. The
noting was apparently satisfactory
since he went on with the steady
assurance of one who sees his way
clearly.
THAT brings us down to bust

asking you to dine With me this
evening. It's this: We feel that
In the reorganization of the power

Immediately authorized to carry
out. What we need, and what the
government needs, is a man right
here on the ground who will be
absolutely loyal to the govern
ment's interests and who can be,
at the same time, broad enough
and honorable enough to be fair to
u.s."
Brouillard reused himself by a
palpable effort.
"You have found your man, Mr..
Cortwright?"
A genial smile twinkled in the
little gray eyes.
II didn't have very far to go.
You see I knew your father and
I'm not afraid to trust his son. We
are going to make you the govern
ment director with full power to
investigate and to act. The capital
stock of the company is ten mil
lions, with shares of a par value
of one hundred dollars each, full
paid and worcestershire. Don't
gasp; we'll cut a nice little melon

days or my name isn't Cartwright. Z"
But / have no money to in

younger mans protest took.
We don't need your money"
cut in the financier with curt good
nature. what we do need is a
consulting engineer, a man who,
while he is one of us and identi-
fled with us, will see to It that
we're not tempted to gouge our
good Uncle Samuel. 1t will be no
sinecure, l warn you. We're all
pretty keen after the dollar, and
you'll have to hold us down good
and hard. or course, a director
and a consulting officer must be
a stakeholder, but we'll take care
of that"

Under other conditions it Is con-
ceivable that an impatient commit
tee of construction would have had
the rails freighted in across the
desert. But with the railroad grade
ALREADY in sight on the bale shoul-
ders of the Hophra Hills the COM
mittee could afford to wait.
This was the situation when Gar
ner, real estate man, sharp-eared
listener at the keyhole of Oppor-
tunity, missing the dynamite
rumblings, sent a cipher code wire
of inquiry to the East, got rush"
reply, and began warily to unload
his Metropolitan holdings. Being
a man Of business, he ducked to
cover first and talked afterward;
but by the time his hint had grown
to rumor size Mr.. Cartwright had
sent for Brouillard.
Pull up a chair and have a
cigar. said the great man.
There is a rumor that the rail-
road grading has been stopped"
Brouillard, busy with the work
of setting the third series of forms
on his great wall, had heard moth
ing.

been blasting for two or three
days. But that may mean nothing
more than a delayed shipment of
dynamite" was his repoinder.
We'll, We are up against it.
that's all. Read that" and the
promoter handed a telegram across
the desk.
The wire was from Chicago. 1t
read:
Work on P. S.-W.'s Buckskin
Extension has been suspended for
the present. Reason assigned,
|shrinkage in securities and uncer-
tainty Of business outlook in
Niquoia."
1t was the consulting engineer
of the power company rather than
the Reclamation Service chief who
rose and went to the window to
look down upon the morning brisk
ness of Chigringo Avenue. And 1t
was the man who saw one hundred
thousand dollars, the price of free
dom, slipping away from him.
The stocky gentleman in the
lpivot-chair thrust out his jaw and
tilted his freshly lighted cigar to
the aggressive angle.
Say, Brouillard, we've got to
throw something that will make
the railroad crowd sit up and take
notice. By George, If those gold
hunters up on Jacks Mountain
would only stumble across some
thing big enough to advertise"
Brouillard started as IL the wish
full musing had been a blow. Like
hot wave from a furnace mouth
it swept over him--the sudden re-
alization that the means, the one
all-powerful, earth-moving lever
the promoter was SO anxiously
seeking lay in his hands.

Certainly not. But"
Very good. Your objection to

be that a man can't be strictly i'm
partial when he has a stake in the
game; some men couldn't Mr..
Brouillard, but you can; you know
you can, and I know 1t. Otherwise
you wouldn't be putting half of

She returned his hand-grip OF
announcement impulsively and
smiled down upon him thru quick
lfpringing tears.
An hour later, Brouillard was
closeted In his log-built office
quarters with big, fair-faced
man, whose rough tweed and un-
brushed, soft hat proclaimed him
fresh from this dust-dry ranches
Of the Quesado trail.

Brouillard got up and went. to
the window. The gnomon shad-
ow OF Jacks Mountain had spread
over the entire valley, and its
southern limb was resting upon
Massingale cabin. When he turn
ed his back to the man at the desk
he was frowning thoughtfully.
"If you put 1t that way" he
said to the man who was waiting,
