 "The community is certainly vicious enough to warrant any charge you can make" admitted Brouillard Then he changed the topic abruptly. Have you seen Miss Massingale since noon?"
 Yes; I saw her with Smith. the cattleman, at the other end of the ave nue about an hour ago"
 "Heavens," gritted the engineer Didn't Smith know better than to take her down there at such time as this?"
 The young missionary was frowning thoughtfully. T think 1t was the other way about. Her brother has been drinking again, and took it for grant ed that she and Smith were looking for him.
 Brouillard buttoned his coat and pulled his soft hat over his eyes.
 I'm going to look for her." he said. Will you come along?"
 Castner nodded, and together they put their shoulders to the crowd. Again and again the engineer and his com panion had to intervene by word and blow to protect the helpless in the half-drunken, gibe fiinging crush, and in these sallies Castner bore his part like a man, expostulating first and hit ting out afterward in a fashion that left no doubt in the mind of his antag- onist of the moment.
 Tt was little less than a crime to turn your laborers loose on the town on such an occasion as this" said Cast her, dealing out his words as frankly and openly as he did his blows.
 Brouillard shrugged.
 If hadn't given them the day they would have taken it without leave You'll have to pass the responsibility on to someone higher up.'
 The militant one accepted the chai- lenge promptly.
 Tt lies ultimately at the door or those whose insatiate greed has built this new Gomorrah in the shadow or your dam" He wheeled suddenly and flung a long arm toward the half-fln- ished structure filling the gap between the western shoulders of Chigringo and Jacks mountain. There stands the proof of Gods wisdom in hiding the future from mankind, MT. Brouli- lard. Because little section CT hu- manity here behind that great wall knows the end of it's hopes, and the manner and time of that end, 1t pe- comes demon-ridden, irreclaimable.
 At another time the engineer might have felt the force of the tersely elo' quent summing up of the accusation against the Mirapolitan attitude. But now he was looking anxiously for Amy Massingale or her escort, or both or them.
 Surely Smith wouldn't let her stay down here a minute longer than IL took to get her away" he said impa' tiently as a pair of drunken Cornish men reeled out of Haley's place and usurped the sidewalk Where was 1t you saw them, Castner?"
