Pretty Dancer Attempts to EVade

That evening the management of
invited players, authors and some priv.
fleged friends of the house to come
and share a cake and draw the bean"
as the French say, for it was the day
of the Fete des Rois and that is the
way to celebrate it. 1t was agreed on

The cake was distributed. Sudden
ly pretty young dancer got between
her teeth an object as to the identity
of which she could entertain no doubt
at all; at the same moment she had
a vision of the lot of money her brief
hours of royalty were going to cost

Wa CHAPTER XVIII az
The Setting of the Ebb

Contrary to the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the speculators-con
trary, perhaps, even to those of Mr.. J,
Wesley Cortwright-the upward surge
in Mirapolis values, following the visit
of the distinguished citizens" proved
to be more than a tidal wave; it was
a series of them. Day after day the
curb" markets were reopened, with
prices mounting skyward; and when
the news of how fortunes could be
made in a day in the Miracle city of
the Niquoia got abroad in the press dis
patches there was fresh influx of mad
money hunters from the East.
Now. if never before, the croaker
was wrathfully shouted down and si-
fenced. No one admitted, or seemed to
admit, the possible impermanence of
the city.
To the observer, anxious or casual,
there appeared to be reasonable
| grounds for the optimistic assertion. It
was an indubitable fact that Brouil-
lard's force had been cut down, first to
one-haIf. and later to barely enough
men to keep the crushers and mixers
moving and to add fresh layers of con-
crete to the huge wall of sufficient
quantities to prevent the material-in
technical phrase-from dying" The
Navaios had been sent home to their
reservation, the tepees were gone, and
two-thirds of the camp shacks were
empty.
Past these material facts it was
known to everybody in the frenzied
market place that Brouillard himself
was, according to his means, one OF
the most reckless of the plungers, buy
ing, borrowing, and buying again as il
the future held no threat of possible
debacle. 1t was an object lesson fol-
the timid. Those who did not them
selves know certainly argued that
there must be a few who did know
and among these few the chief of the
reclamation service must be in the
very foremost rank.

The poster, now on view at the
Whitechapel art gallery, carries US
back to bygone London by it's name
alone. For it gained that name by
being originally stuck to the posts
which protected foot passengers in
the streets in the days before raised
sidewalks appeared. The modern ar.
tistic poster began in France about
1886, Lalance being the artist to turn
his skill to advertisement work. His
posters, however, were only in black
and white, and it was another thirty
years before the colored poster came
into vogue with the work of Jules
Cheret-London Chronicle.

Amy Massingale led Brouillard swiftly
to the green baize doors at the rear
of the bar-room. At her touch the
swinging doors gave inward, and her
goal was reached.
Three faro games, each with it's in
laid table, it's impassive dealer, it's

players, lay beyond the baize doors. At
the nearest of the tables there was a
stir. and the dealer stopped running
the cards. Somebody said, Let him
get out" and then an old man, beard
ed, white-haired, wild-eyed, and hag-
gard almost beyond recognition,

and stumbled to his feet, his hands

| gering old man in her arms and draw
him away. Brouillard stood aside as
they came slowly toward the doors
which he was holding open for them.
He saw the distorted face-mask of .
soul in torment and heard the num-
bling repetition of the despairing
words, 'It's all gone, little girl; it's all
gone!" and then he removed himself
quickly beyond the range of the star
ing, unseeing eyes.
For in the lightning fash of reveal.
ment he realized that once again the
good he would have done had turned
to hideous evil in the doing, and that
this time the sword thrust of the blind
passion impulse had gone straight to
the heart of love itself.

piebald range pony on which he had
been making an inspection round of
the nearer Buckskin ditchers camps,

road over the Chigringo shoulder and
looked down upon the valley electrics
Brouillard let the pony set its own
pace on the down-hill lap to the finish,
freshened himself at his rooms in the
Niquoia building, and went to the
Metropole to eat his dinner with Muir
ray Grislow as his vis-a-vis. The buz-
zing throngs in the Metropole cafe and
lobby annoyed him, and even Grislow's
quiet sarcasm as applied to the days
bubble-blowing failed to clear the air.

the main residence street, which be-
yond the city limits became the high
road to the Quadjenai bend and the
upper valley. Brouillard took a cab at

to the house, which was dark save for

CBy U. S. Dept of Agri,

(By U. S. Dept of Agriculture)
Those contemplating moving into a
new house, and especially those aboet
to reoccupy country homes or rent
summer cottages which may harbor
vermin, would do well before they ac-
tually occupy these houses to consid-
er fumigating with hydrocyanic-acid
gas to eradicate bedbugs and other
pests. This gas, as well as the sodium
| cyanid from which it is made, how
ever, is one of the most poisonous sub
stances known, and the inhalation of
a few breaths Of the gas will result in
death unless the victim be promptly
rescued. For this reason, those con-
| templating it's use should first read
carefully Farmers Bulletin No. 699,
Hydrocyanic-Acid Gas Against House
hold Insects, recently issued by the
department. This bulletin, by L. o.
Howard and c. H. Popenoe, describes
in detail the manner in which the gas
is manufactured and used and the
precautions which must be taken to
avoid accident.
Hydrocyanic-a gas, however, is
one of the most efficacious agents in
ridding households of such pests as
bedbugs, fieas, cock-roaches, ants,
clothes moths, etc. Rats and mice,
when exposed to its fumes, run out OF
their holes into the open and die there.
There is thus no subsequent annoy
ance from dead rodents in walls and
under flooring.
Even when only one room of house
is to be fumigated, the bulletin says,
the entire house must be vacated and
so closed and marked with signs that
everyone is kept out. The windows in
such house must be equipped with
ropes so that they can be opened from
the outside when the fumigation is
done. If the house is close to anotl-
er, especially if its windows are below
those in an adjoining house, care must
be taken to protect neighbors. This
is especially necessary in the case OF
a house in a row, particularly if the
partitions separating houses are not
tight or if the attic or roof air space
communicates with those in the neigh
the case of summer cottages at
beaches it is safest and easiest to
fumigate before the family or neigh
bors have moved in, when there is

COLLEGE Gets Precious Memento

Allegheny college, at Meadville, Pa,
has received from Doctor Haskins of
Boston the die which. was used in the
original seal of the college nearly 100
years ago. Doctor Haskins discovered
the die among the records of his fa-
ther. who was a professor in the col
lege from 1874 to 1886. This die was
probably made in Boston in 1922 or
1928. 1t was in constant use until the
early sixties, when it disappeared.
