EE3 CHAPTER VII A
A Turn in the Trail

For Brouillard it had seemed the most natural thing in the world to fall under the spell of entertainment He knew next to nothing of the young woman's life story; he had not cared to know. It had not occurred to him 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 them-of woman of a much wider world. It 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. It was keen joy to be with her, and up to the present this had sufiiced.
 "Egoism is merely another name for the expression of vital need" he said after the divagating pause, de- fining the word more for his own sat- isfaction than in self-defense.
 You may put it in that way if you please" she returned gravely. What is your need?"
 He stated 1t concisely. "Money-a lot of 1t"
 How singular!" she laughed. She got out of the hammock and came tol

ful reply to be made to this, Brouillard bent lower over his work and said nothing. At every fresh step in the forced acquaintance the newcomer was painstakingly developing new an- tagonisms. Sooner or later, Brouillard knew, it would come to an open rup- ture, but he was hoping that the actual hostilities could be postponed until after Hosford had worn out his tenn porary welcome as guest in the engi- neers' mess.
 For time the big man in the easy chair smoked on in silence. Then he began again:
 Say, Brouillard, I saw one little girl today that didn't belong to your work men 's-family outfit, and she's peach; came riding down the trail with her brother from that mine up on the south mountain-Mas isn't it? By love! she fairly made my mouth water!"
 Inasmuch as no man can read field come red blur, Brouillard looked up. You are my guest, in a way, MT. Hosford; for that reason I can't very well tell you what I think of you. So much he was able to say quietly Then the control mechanism burned out in flash of fiery rage and he cursed the guest f1uently and compre- hensively, winding up with crude and savage threat of dismemberment if he should ever venture so much as to name Miss Massingale again in the threatener's hearing.
 Hosford sat up slowly, and his big face turned darkly red.
 "Well!" he broke out "So you're that kind of fire-eater, are you? I didn't suppose anything like that ever happened outside of the ten-cent shockers. Wake up, man; this is the twentieth century we're living in. Don't look at me that way!" But the wave of insane wrath was already subsiding, and Brouillard, half ashamed of the momentary lapse into savagery, was once more scow1ing down at the pages of his notebook, when the door opened and Quinlan, the operator, came in with commu- nication fresh from the Washington wire. The message was an indirect reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal to the higher powers. Brouillard read it, stuck it upon the file, and took a roll of blueprints from the bottom drawer of his desk
 Here are the drawings for your power installation, MT. Hosford," he said, handing the roll to the man in the chair. And little later he went out to smoke pipe in the open air, leaving the message of inquiry he had intended to send unwritten.
The Pulaskian., 1916-03-10

it-but you can't. And it changes ev- erything for you, distorts everything, colors your entire life. It's heart breaking!"
 This was dangerous ground for him and he knew it. In the ardor of young manhood he had taken up the vicari- ous burden dutifully, and at that time his renunciation 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 renunciation too grievous to be borne.
 "How did you know?" he queried cu- riously. Tt does change things I'd sell anything I've got, save one, for chance at the freedom that other men have-and don't value"
 What is the one thing you wouldn't sell?" she questioned, and Brouillard chose to discover gently quickened interest in the clear-seeing eyes.
 My love for the-for some woman. I'm saving that, you know. It is the only capital I'll have when the big ueDt IS paid.
 Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?" she asked, looking down at him with the grimacing little smile that always reminded him of caress. T have. been wondering whether she is or isn't worth the effort-and the reservation you make. Because it is all in that, you know. You can do and be what you want to do and be if you only want to hard enough"
 He was looking down, chiefly be- cause he dared not look up, when he 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 Tig would say. Let me show you what I 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.
 T must be going back down the hill," he said. And then, without warn ing: What if should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Ni- Quoia, Amy?"

CHAPTER VI Syrnptonatic

For some few minutes the two on the cabin porch made no attempt to talk, but when the rumbling thunder of the ore-car which the elder Mas singale was pushing ahead of him into the mine had died away in the sub terranean distances Brouillard began again.
 T do get your point of view-some- times," he said. Civilization, or what stands for it, does have a way of shrinking into littleness, not to say cheapness, when one can get the proper perspective. And your life up here on Chigringo has given you the needful detached point of view"
 The trouble shadows in the eyes of the fishnet hammock gave place to a smile of gentle derision.
 Do you call that civilization?" she demanded, indicating the struggling new town spreading itself, maplike, in the valley below.
 T suppose it is-one form of it. At least it is civilization in the making Everything has to have some sort of a beginning
 Miss Massingale acquiesced in a little uptilt of her perfectly rounded chin.
 "Just the same, you don't pretend to say you are enjoying it," she said in manifest deprecation.
 "Oh, don't know My work is down there. A few weeks ago I was right eously hot It seemed so crudely un- necessary to start a pigeon-plucking match at this distance from Wall street."
 "But now," she queried-"now, sup pose, you have become reconciled?"
 T am growing more philosophical, let us say. There are just about so many pigeons to be plucked. anyway: they'd mott if they weren't plucked. And it may as we'll be done here as on the stock exchange, when you come to think of it."
 T like you least when you talk that way" said the young woman in the hammock, with open-eyed frankness. Do yoU do 1t as other men do?-just to hear how it sounds?"
 Brouillard, sitting on the top step of the porch, leaned his head against the porch post and laughed.
 You know too much-a lot too much for g person of your tender years," he asserted. Which names one more of the charming collection of contradictions which your father or mother or somebody had the temerfty

SYNOPSIS.

Brouillard, chief engineer of the Niquoia irrigation dam, goes out from camp to automobile party camped at the canyon portal. He meets J. Wesley Cartwright and his daughter, Genevieve, of the auto party and explains the reclamation work to them. Cartwright sees in the project a big chance to make money. Brouillard is impervious to hints from the financier, who tells Genevieve that the engineer

Steve Massin- gale threatens to start a gold rush if Brouillard does not influence President Ford to build a railroad branch to the place, thus opening an easy market for the ore from the Little Susan' mine.

CHAPTER V-Continued.

"I can't believe it, Murray It's a leaf out of the book of Bedlam! Take fair shot at it and see where the bullet lands: this entire crazy fake is built upon one solitary, lonesome fact-the fact that we're here, with job on our hands big enough to create an active, present-moment market for labor and material. There is absolute ly nothing else behind the bubble blowing; if we were not here the Mi quoia Improvement company would never have been heard of"
 Grislow laughed Your arguing that twice two makes four doesn't change the iridescent hue of the bubble,' he volunteered. ''If big money has seen 8 chance to skin somebody, the mere fact that the end of the world is due to come along down the pike some day isn't going to cut any obstructing figure. We'll all be buying and sell ing corner lots in Hosfords new city before we're month older. Don't you believe it ?"
 .I'll believe it when l see it." was ACpiy d1Q WiII tlil0 tuC matter rested for the moment.
 It was later in the day. an hour CT so after the serving of the hearty supper in the engineers mess tent, that Brouillard was given to see an other and still less tolerable side of his temporary guest. Hosford had come into the office to plant himself solidly in the makeshift easy chair for the smoking of a big, black after-sup- per cigar.
 i've been looking over your rules and regulations, Brouillard," he be- gan, after an interval of silence which Brouillard had been careful not to break You're making capital mis. take in trying to transplant the old Connecticut blue laws out here. Your workingmen ought to have the right 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 straightened himself with his arms over his head like an athlete testing his muscles for the record-breaking event.
 What would I do? A number of things. But first of all, I think, I'd buy the privilege of telling some wom- an that I 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 a low-spo- ken question.
 Does it date back to the handicap You needn't tell me if you don't want to-"
 It does. And there is no reason why l shouldn't tell you the simple fact. When my father died he left me debt-a debt of honor; and it must be paid. Until it is paid-but I am sure you understand"
 Quite fully" she responded quickly. and now there was no trace of levity in the sweetly serious tone. "Is it much ?-so much that you can't-''
 He nodded and sat down again on the porch step. "Yes, it is big enough to go in class by itself-in round numbers, hundred thousand dollars. J
 "Horrorsl" she gasped. And you are carrying that millstone? Must you carry it?"
 If you knew the circumstances you would be the first to say that I must carry 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 matter of fact, 1t takes more than half of the salary to pay the premiums on-pshaw! Let's drop it.''
 She was looking beyond him and her voice was quick with womaniy sympa thy when she said ..If you could dror

 Brouillard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say: Whisky, you mean?"
 That and other things. They tell me you don't allow any open gam bling or any women here outside of the families of the workmen."
 We don't, was the short rejoinder.
 That won't hold water after we get things fairly in motion"
 Tt will have to hold water as far as we are concerned, if have to build a stockade around the camp" snapped Brouillard.

Concrete Most Desirable Material

The average country road re.
quires many culvert structures and
frequently the cost for maintaining

little for other work. 1t is there
fore important that the culvert be
built in such a manner as to re.

as possible.
According to bulletin being is
sued by the Extension Division of
the University of Missouri on
County Roads" the construction of
cheap perishable culverts is usually
expensive in the long run Ordi-
nary wooden culverts are no longer
desirable, as the life of such cul.
veits is not more than three or
four years. and while in use they
are a continual annoyance and ex.

are satisfactory where openings

used where they are directly ex-

should be protected by at least two
feet Of filing and the roadway
graded smoothly that vehicle
may pass without shock over the
