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 It was
whispered about. some days before the
suspicious arrival. that the visiting
lawmakers wished for no public DEM
onstration OF welcome, 1t was resolved,
both in the city council and in the
Commercial club, that the wish should
be rigidly respected

less than half an hour after the depar-
ture of the visitors. the Spotlight Of

and the Metropole cafe and lobby were
thronged and buzzing like the compart-
ments OF an anxious beehive.

newspaper office as long as he could.

II was a bolt out OF a clear sky for
the old man tottering on the brink OF
his fourth pit OF disaster. and he
evinced his emotion-and the tense
strain OF keyed-up nerves-by drop
ping his lifted coffee cup with a crash
into his plate. The little accident was
helpful in its way-it made a diver

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 Massingale
realized his presence.
PITY a man has to stop to eat on a
day like this, isn't IL. Mr.. Massingale ?"
he laughed; and then: How is

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Not for publication, Harlan, I'm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 I'll ask only one more
question, and If you answer 1t at all
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 a student of men, but his
present excitement was against him.
Otherwise he would have interpreted
differently the sudden hardening of the
jaw muscles when Brouillard spoke.
I'm buying, Harlan; when l sell it
is only to buy again"
The newspaper man rose and held
out his hand.
You're a man and brother. Brouil-
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

told you since you butted in. Good
night"
Mirapolis awoke to a full sense Of
it's opportunities on the morning fol-
lowing the departure of its distin-
guished guests. By ten o'clock 1t 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 as 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 a Juror Of specu-
lative excitement in comparison with
which the orgy of the gold discov-
erers paled into insignificance. Curb
exchanges sprang into being in the
Metropole lobby. in the court Of the
Niquoia building. and at a dozen street
corners on the avenue. Word went to
the placers. and by noon the miners
had left their sluice-boxes and were
pouring into town to buy options at
prices that would have staggered the
widest plunger otherwhere. or at any
other time.

A Legal Fence.


Anent the discussion of proposed
herd law in Colorado has developed
much argument as to what constitutes
legal fence in Colorado. Some claim
that legal fence is so costly that few
4 farmers can afford TO maintain one.
while many cattle owners insist that
the Colorado legal fence is really
joke. Quoting from the law, and only
that part which refers to wire fences:
"A fence of three barbed wires. with
posts not more than sixty feet apart.
with stays between not more than ten
feet apart; or three barbed wires.
with posts not more than thirty-three
feet apart, with one stay midway be-
tween or two barbed wires. with pole
at top. not less than two inches in
, diameter. wired at each end to posts.
the posts not to be over eight feet
apart. or four plain wires with posts
not less than five inches in diameter
and not over fifty feet apart. with
stays between. not over ten feet apart
provided. that any division or road
fence made OF wires shall be deemed
unlawful that contains a less lumber
of wires. posts and stays than above
/ described. All other fences made OF
| boards. rails. poles. wires, stone,
hedge plants. or other material shall
be as strong and as well calculated to
protect enclosures as those above de-
scribed, shall be considered lawful
fences; and said plain wires. as de-
scribed In this section shall not be
less than number nine. and all wires
shall be properly stretched. tRevis-
ed Statute. Section 25s7J
"Ali fences shall not be less than
four feet six inches In height IRE
vised Statute. Section 25ss)"
The above is the actual law In re-
gard to legal fences and II would seem
that anything that could be called n
fence would pass muster under these
conditions. II Is claimed. however,
that farmers are unable to secure
damages where cattle break in their
enclosures. even though they have n
legal fence. The law would seem to
be very fair in this matter Here is
what II says:
ANY person making and maintain
ing in good repair around his or her
enclosure. any fence such as dcscrib-
ed In section one tRevised Statute.

fitting instant the young engineer saw
in the face of the father the same ex-
preston that he had seen in the face
of the son when Van Bruce Cartwright
was struggling for second chance to
kill a man.

agely; you always know too much!

cool retort. ION each occasion / have

Now you are going to pay it again.
Shall l go over to the Spotlight office

You can't bluff me that way. Brouil-
lard, and you ought to sense it by this
time. Do you suppose l don't know
how you are fixed that you've got
money-money that you used to say
you owed somebody else-tied up in
Mirapolis investments?"
Brouil'ard rose and buttoned his
coat.
There is one weak link in your
chain, Mr.. Cartwright" he said even
ly; you don't know men. Put on your
coat and come over to Harlan's office
with me. 1t will take Just about two
minutes to satisfy you that I'm not
bluffing."
For a moment it appeared that the
offer was to be accepted. But when
he had one arm in a coat sleeve,
Brouillard's antagonist in the game of
hardihood changed his tactics.
Forget it," he growled morosely
What do you want this timer"

Mr.. Cartwright thrust the other arm
into the remaining coat sleeve and
scowled. But the rebound to the norm
of brusque good nature came almost
Immediately.
You are improving wonderfully,
Brouillard. and that's no joke. l have
a large respect for a man who can out

except one small personal favor: Don't
rub your masquerading Washington
delegation into me too hard. A fine
quality Of noninterference is about all
you are buying from me-"
Tell me one thing, Brouillard:
What is your stake in the Massingale
game? Are you a silent partner in the
Little Susan'?"
NO"
Then why are you SO anxious to
make old David a rich man at my ex-
pense? Are you going to marry the
girl?"
The engineer did not resent the ques-
ton as he would have resented 1t q
few weeks earlier. Instead he smiled
and said: "A little while ago, Mr..
Cartwright, / told you that you didn't
know men; now I'll add that you don't

kingstown, Ireland, May 2. - The
proclamation issued by provisional

"ln order to prevent the further
slaughter of unarmed people and in the
hope of saving the lives of our follow
ers who are surrounded and hopelessly
outnumbered, the members of the pro-
visionaI government at headquarters
have agreed to unconditional surren-

Kingstown, Ireland, May /. The
main body of the Sim Fem rebels in
Dublin has surrendered.
There was, however, considerable
fighting throughout Sunday in Dublin
and the suburbs. 1t was especially Sc

The rebels in the college of surgeons
surrendered. One of the prisoners tax

Active Leader In Riots.
The Countess of Markievicz was q.
prominent figure in the street car riots
in 1918, led by James Larkin. Fol- a
number Of years she has been an ar
dent militant Socialist and Sim
Feiner.
Early in the present year the home
of the countess in Dublin was raided
by the police under the defense of the
realm act and a printing press and
type with which it was alleged pro-
German literature was being printed
were seized. Some reports had Ii that
arms also had been found in the home
of the countess and that letters seized
during the raid led to the discovery
of an arsenal of the Sim Feiners.
Small Bands Still Fighting.
Although the principal leaders Of
the rebel movement have laid down
their arms and advised their followers
to acquiesce in an unconditional sur
render, there Is no doubt that there
will be still great difficulty in restor-
ing peace In Dublin and the surround
ing districts, for numerous small bands
of rebels evidently either have not
received the leaders orders, or doubt
the authenticity of the orders and
have, at any rate, determined to con-
tinue guerilla warfare.
Situation Is Dangerous.
That the situation in Dublin was
still regarded as dangerous, despite
surrender Of a majority of the rebels,
was indicated by the fact that few
persons were permitted to penetrate
into the city through the rigid mill.

No one is allowed to enter Dublin

The forces surrendering were COM
posed Of 1870 British and 5000 Indian
troops, the war Office announced.
General T~ownshend had been be-

he surrendered.
The capitulation at Kut-El-Amara Is
the first instance In the present war
and one of the few occasions in more
than q century OF wars in which a
British garrison besieged by the enc

The British forces surrendered to
