No, not Murray Grlslow; it was the
man you think you know best in all
the worldwide is also probably the
one you know the least-yourself."
Good heavens! Am really such a
transparent egoist as all that"
"All men are egoists," she answered
calmly I'm some the ego is sound
and cleareyed and strong; in. others
1t is weak-in the same way that pas
sion is weak; 1t will sacrifice all 1t has
or hopes to have in some sudden fury
of selfassertion"
She sat up and put her hands to her
hair, and he was free to look away,
down upon the great ditch where the
endless chain of concrete buckets
added 20 the deep and widespread
foundations Of the dam. Across the
river group of hidden sawmills sang
their raucous song. In the middle dis
lance the camp-town city spread
its roughly indicated streets over the
valley level. the tall chimney stacks
of the new cement plant were rising,
and from the quarries beyond the
plant the dun thunder of the blasts
drifted up.
This was not Brouillard's first visit |
to the cabin on the Massingale claim
by many. In the earliest stages Of the
valley activities Smith. the Buckskin
had been Amy Massingales
escort to the reclamation camp-"Just
a couple o lockers" in Smiths phrase
and the unconventional attitudes
had done the rest. From that day for.

'If You Insist on Pulling My Private
Opinion Out by the Roots, You May
Have It. I'd Build the Extension"
That wouldn't have been so bad If he
hadn't talked about it"
When Mr.. Ford comes you must
forget what Stevie said and what l
have said. Good-by."
An hour later Brouillard was closet
ed in his log-built office quarters with
big, fair-faced man, whose rough
tweeds and unbrushed soft hat pro-
claimed him fresh from the dusty-dry
reaches of the Quesado trail.
1T is your own opinion that want,
Victor" the fair-faced man was saying,
mot the government engineers. Can
we make the road pay if we bring it
here? That is a question which you
can answer better than any other liv-

quiet reioinder.
A smile wrinkled at the corners of
the big mans eyes
You are lodging the issue, Victor, |
and you know it," he objected What
want is your personal notion. If you
were the executive committee of the
Pacific Southwestern, would you, or
would you not, build the extension? |
That's the point I'm trying to make"
Brouillard got up and went to the
window. When he turned back to the
man at the desk he was frowning
and his eyes were the
eyes of one who sees only the clearly
etched lines of picture which OBJ
scures all outward nd visual objects.

This was dangerous ground for him
and he knew it. In the ardor of young
manhood he had taken up the vicari-
Gus burden dutlfully, and at that time
his remuneration of the things that
other men strove for seemed the light
est of the many fetterings. But now
love for woman was threatening to
make the remuneration too grieyous to
be borne.

riously ut does change things. I'd
sell anything I've got, save one, for a

interest in the clear-seeing eyes.

WA CHAPTER VII SES
A Turn in the Trail

For Brouillard It had seemed tn
most natural thing in the world to fal
under the spell of enchantment. H
knew next to nothing of the young
Woman's life story; he had not cared
to know. 1t had not occurred to hin
to wonder how the daughter of a man
who drilled and shot the holes in his
own mine should have the gifts and
| belongings-when she chose to display
I them-of woman of a much wider
! world. 1t was enough for him that she
was piquantly attractive in any char
acter and that he found her marvel
ously stimulating and uplifting. On
the days when the devil of moroseness
and irritability possessed and mad
dened him he could climb to the cabin
on high ChigringO and find sanity. 1t
was keen joy to be with her, and up
to the present this had sufTlced.
"Egoism is merely another name for
the expression of a vital need" he
said after the divagating pause, de-
lining the word more for his own sat
isfaction than in selfdefense.
You may put it in that way if you
please" she returned gravely What
is your need?"
He stated it concisely. "Money-a
lot of it,"
How singular!" she laughed. She
got out of the hammock and came to
lean, with her hands behind her,
against the opposite porch post. But
tell me, what would you do with your
pot of rainbow gold-if you should
find it?"
Brouillard rose and Strengthened |
himself with his arms over his head !
like an athlete testing his muscles for |
the record-breaking event.
What would | do? A number of |
things. But first of all. l think, I'd
buy the privilege of telling some wom-
an that love her"
She was silent for so long a time
that he looked at his watch and
thought of going. But at the deciding
instant she held him with low-spo-
ken question.
Does it date back to the handicap?
You needn't tell me if you don't want
to-"
1T does. And there is no reason
why | shouldn't tell you the simple
fact. When my father died he left me
a debt-a debt of honor; and it must
be paid. Until it is paid-but l am
sure you understand"
Quite fully" she responded quickly,
and now there was no trace of levity
n the sweetly serious tone. is it
nuch?-so much that you can't"
He nodded and sat down again on
he porch step. Yes, it is big enough
% go in a class by itseif-in round
hundred thousand dollars"
"Horrors!" she gasped. And you
ire carrying that milestone? Must you
larry it?"
IF you knew the circumstances you
would be the first to say that must
AIRY it, and go on carrying it to the
end of the chapter"
"But-but you'll never be free!"
Not on government salary" he
admitted. AS a matter of fact it
axes more than half of the salary to
ray the premiums on-pshaw! Let's
Irop"
She was looking beyond him and her
yoice was quick with womanly sympa-
.hy when she said. IF you could drop

! answered soberly: "She is worth
it 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;
they are all in the man, not in the
things, not none whatsoever as Tic
would say Let me show you what
mean. Three times within my recol.
| lection my father has been worth con.
siderably more than you owe, and
three times he has-well, it's gone.
And now he is going to make good
again when the railroad comes"
Brouillard got up, thrust his hands
into the pockets of his working coat,
and faced about as if he had suddenly
remembered that he was wasting the
governments time.
Il must be going back down the
hill" he said And then, without warn
ing: What if l should tell you that
the railroad is not coming to the Nj
quota, Amy?"
To his utter amazement the blue
eyes filled suddenly. But the owner
of the eyes was winking the tears
away and laughing before he could
could put the ama2ement into words.
you shouldn't hit out like that
when one isn't looking; it's wicked"
she protested. Besides, the railroad
is coming; it's got to come"
1T is still undecided" he told her
mechanically. MIR. Ford is coming
over with the engineers to have con-
ference on the ground with--with the
Cartwright people. l am expecting
him any day"
And the government?
"The department is holding entirely
aloof, as it should. Everyone in the
reclamation service knows that no
good can possibly come of any effort !

NAL and natural development And,
besides, none of us here in the valley |
want to help blow the Cartwright |
bubble any higher than it has to be-"
Then you will advise against the

Instead of answering her question
