Ribbon white EIephant.n

Three yards of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby n great problem rs
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
white elephant. the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value Of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be established. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
colored and Of exquisite heavy quail
lty.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was pOstmarked Paterson, N. J. There
was no message inclosed, the package
being addressed simply to "The Con-
science Fund, Washington, d. c." 1t
Is presumed that the ribbon itself was

CHAPTER XXI q
An Evening Call

Notwithstanding the preliminary ru-
mors which Bongras and many others
had sought so anxiously to verify. the
Metropolitan awakening to realization
that once more the tide had turned to
bring new pillows of prosperity tum-
bling into the valley of the Niquoia
came with q sudden and triumphant
shock.
The first of the quickening waves
fell upon the government reservation.
Between sunrise and nightfall. on a
day when the cloud Of depression had
grown black with panic threatenings.
the apathy which had lately character
tied the work on the great dam disap-
peared as IL by magic. The city found
its billboards posted with loud calls
for labor; the idle mixers were put in
commission; the quarries and crush
ers began to thunder again; and the
stagings once more shook and trembled
under the feet of a busy army of pud-
dlers.
While the revival was as yet only in
the embryonic period, fresh labor be-
gan to come in gangs and in carloads
and presently by special trains. Swarm
ing colonies of Greeks, Italians and
Bulgarians were dumped upon the city
through the gate of the railroad sta
ton, and once more Chigringo avenue

CHAPTER xxi !
The Sunset Gun

Mr.. Cartwright sat back in his chair,
and once more Brouillard saw in the
sandy-gray eyes the look which had
been in the sons eyes when the dere-
lict fought for freedom to finish killing
Stephen Massingale.
Its pretty dangerous thing to try
to hold man up unless you've got the
drop on him, Brouillard." he said sig
nificantly. I've got you covered from
my pocket; I've had you covered that
way ever since you began to buck and
rear on me a couple of months ago.
One little wire word to Washington
fixes you for good and all. II say the
word, you'll stay on your job Just as
long as it will take another man to get
here to supersede you"
Brouillard laughed.
The pocket drop is never very safe,
Mr.. Cartwright. You are likely to lose
too much time feeling for the proper
range. Then, too, you can never be
sure that you won't miss. Also, your
assumption that I'm taking an I'M
armed mans chance Is wrong. I can
kill you before you can pull the trig-
ger of the pocket gun you speak Of

anything but a coroner's Jury and a
coffin. How long would 1t take you to
get action in the Washington matter,

The chance did not materialize. The
lights In a certain upper office in the
Niquoia building were still turned on
long after NJ Poudrecaulx had given
up the hope of the deep-sea sounding
for that night. Some time after the
lobby crowd had melted. and before
the lower avenue had begun to order
small-hour suppers of Bongras. the two
high windows in the Niquoia building
went dark and few minutes later the
man who had spent half the night
tramping the floor or sitting with his
head in his hands at the desk in the
upper room came out OF the street
archway and walked briskly to the
telegraph Office across the plaza.
How is the line tonight Sanford

night receiving clerk was making his
third attempt to count the words in

manager; adding: But that s like the

The promoter rose slowly out of his
chair and stood leaning heavily with
his fat hands, palms downward, on the
flat-topped desk. His cheeks were
pulled out and the bitten mustaches
bristled like the whiskers of gray old
leader of the timber wolves.
"Brouillard" he grated huskily.

with us, once for all?"
1T means more than that; It means

said CURLY. $50 be 1t. Start your

1t was the final straw in the stocky
promoters crushing wrath burden. His
fat face turned purple, and for a sec.
ond or two he clawed the air, gasping
for breath. Brouillard sat back in his
chair, waiting for the volcanic up
heaval. But it did not come. When he
had regained a measure of self-controk
Mr.. Cartwright turned slowly and went
out without word, stumbling over the
threshold and slamming the door
heavily as he disappeared.
For a time after the promoterA
wordless departure Brouillard sat at
his desk writing steadily. When the
last OF the memorandum sheets was
filled he found his hat and street coat
and left the Office. Ten minutes later
he had penetrated to the dusty den on
the second floor of the Spotlight office
where Harlan was grinding copy for
his paper. Brouillard took q chair at
