carranza
Proposes
a Probe

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July Il.
A commission of six men, three
from each country, will be pro-
posed by Carranza as an investi-
eating body to study and settle
the Mexican controversy, it was
learned today.
The proposal will be submitted
to the state department within a
few days.
The commissioners will be d.
rected to formulate a complete
series of remedial steps, probably
involving patrolling the border by
troops of both countries.
They would have inquisitorial
powers and would be expected to
find the causes of the differences
between people on both sides OF
the boundary.

slN CHAPTER XVI Wj
n Flood Tide X

Public opinion, skillfully formed up
on models fashioned in Mayor Cort-
wright's municipal laboratory, dealt
handsomely with the little group OF
widely-heralded visitors-the con
gressional committee" When 1t was
whispered about. some days before the
suspicious arrival, that the visiting
lawmakers wished for no public dem
onstration 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-
tuFe OF the visitors, the Spotlight Of
fee was besieged by eager tip hunters.
and the Metropole cafe and lobby were
througed and buzzing like the compart.
meuts 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 light in BrouilIards office
on the sixth floor of the Niquoia build
ing. and thithc- he went, hoping
against hope. Tor latterly the chief OF
the reclamation service had been more
than usually reticent
What do you know. Brouillard ?"
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"
Well, 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 sleepl
Tell me a few corTelative things,
Brou lard, 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
dam one-half?"
The engineer was playing with the
paperknife, absently marking little cir
cles and ellipses on his desk blotter.
and the ash on his cigar grew a 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 III ask only one more
question. and il you answer it at all I
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 BrouiIlard spoke.
I'm buying, Harlan; when / sell IL
is only 20 bUvsagain."
The newspaper man rose and held
out his hand
You're a man and brother, Brouu
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 ?"
NO. If the time ever comes when
have anything to say, I'll say it to you
But don't lose sight of the st. and
don't lean too hard on me. I'm a
mighty uncertain quantity these days,
Harlan, and that's the truest thing I've
told you since you butted In. Good
night"
Mirapolis awoke to a full sense of
its opportunities on the morning fol
lowing the departure Of its 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 az the orders
could come from Washington.
Appealed to by mob of anxious in.
quirers, Brouillard did not deny the
fact of the discharges, and thereupon
the city went mad in Juror of specu-
lative excitement in comparison with
which the orgy of the gold discov-
erers paled into insigniflcance. 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-bo2es and were
pouring into town to buy options at
prices that would have staggered the
widest plunger otherwhere. or at any
other time
Brou!llard closed his desk at one
o'clock and went to fight his way
through the street pandemonium to
BonSras' 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 Masslngale
realized his presence.
PITY man has to stop to eat on a
day like this. isn't it, Mr. Massingale ?''
