out Of the pocket OF the coat and ~
next moment the door opened and
closed and the photographer was LETT
alone.
Having been plauIed before there
was q city 10 be considered, the gov.
eminent buildings inclosed three sides
of a small open square, facing toward
the great dam. In the middle Of this
open space Brouillard stopped, kicked
up little mound of earth, and stood
the two paper cylinders on It. side by
side.
The tempered glow from tho city
electrics made soft twilight In the
little plaza; he could see the wrapper
colors of the two signal fires quite
we'll. A sharp attack of indecision had
prompted him to place both of them on
the tiny mound. With the match in
his hand, he was still undecided. Amy
Massingale's words came back to him
as he hesitated: Light the blue one
when you are ready to send me my
message Of cheer :" On the lips
Of another woman the words might
have taken a materialistic meaning;
the miraculous gold discovery would
bring the railroad and the railroad
would rescue the Massingale mine and
restore the Massingale fortunes.
He looked up at the dark bulk ~
Chigringo, unrelieved even by the tiny
feck of lamplight which he had so
often called his guiding star. Take
me out of your mind and heart and say
which you will have, little girl" he
whispered, sending the words out into
the void of night. But only the din
and clamor of city gone wild with
enthusiasm came to answer him. Some
whers on the avenue band was play
ing; men were shouting themselves
hoarse in excitement. and above the
shouting came the staccato cracking
of pistols and guns fired in air.
He struck the match and stopped
over the blue cylinder This is your
message of cheer, whether you take II
that way or not" he went on, whisper.
! ing again to the silent void. But when
the fuse of the blue light was fairly
/ fizzing he suddenly pinched it out and
held the match to the other.
Up on the high bench of the great
mountain Amy Massingale was pacing
to and fro on the puncheon-foored
porch of the home cabin. The girls
gaze never wandered far from dark
area in the western edge of the town
the semicircle cut into the dotting
lights and marking the site of the gov
eminent reservation. 1t was when a
tiny stream Of sparks shot up in the
center of the dark area that she
stopped and held her breath. Then
when binding flare followed to prick
out the headquarters, the commissary
and the mess house, she sank in de-
spairing little heap on the floor, with
her face hidden in her hands and the
quick sobs shaking her like an ague
chill. 1t was Brouillard's signal. but
it was not the signal of peace; it was
the blood-red Of revolution and strife
and turmoil.

CHAPTER xll-Continued.

He was abashed, confounded; and at
the bottom Of the tangle of conflict
Ing emotions there was a dull glow Of
resentment.
II did It. as I say-for love Of you,
Amy; and now l have done a much
more serious thing-for the same rea-
SON."
Tell me-" she said. with quick
catching Of her breath.
Your brother put weapon in my
hands, and have used It. There was
one sure way to make the railroad
people get busy again. They couldn't
sit still II all the world were trying
to get to a new gold, camp, to which
they already have a line graded and
nearly ready for the STEEL"
And you have"
He nodded.
She had retreated to take her for
mer position, leaning against the porch
post, with her hands behind her, and
she had grown suddenly calm.
Don't look at me that way, Amy"
he pleaded "You wanted something
and I wanted to give 1t to you. That
was alias God hears me, it was all.
You believe that, Amy? 1t will break
my heart II you don't believe It,"
She shook her head sadly.
You don't understand, and can't
make you understand-that Is the keen
misery Of It. If this ruthless thing you
tried to do had succeeded, should be
the most wretched woman In the
world"
"If It had succeeded? 1t has sue
ceeded. Didn't say Just now that
the town was crazy with excitement
when I left to come up here?"
The girl was shaking her head again.
God sometimes saves us in spite Of
ourselves" she said gravely. "The
excitement will die out. There are no
placers In the Niquoia. The bars have
been prospected again and again"

was reaching for his hat. This new

"T1l do It," he promised. "I'll come

mo, don't do that. You will be
needed at the dam. There will be
trouble, with town full Of disappoint-
ed gold-hunters, and liquor to be had.
Wait a minute" She ran into the
house and came out with two little
paper-covered cylinders with fuses
projecting. Take these; they are

And the other?" he asked.
1T Is red light, the signal Of war

1t, I shall know"
He nodded, dropped the paper cyl
inders into his pocket, and a moment
later was racing down the trail to
take his place at the helm OF the sban-
doned ship Of the industries.
Brouillard descended upon his dis
heartened subordinates like a whirl-
wind Of invincible energy, electrifying
everybody into instant action. Glass;
man was told off to bring the Indians,
who alone were Loyalty Indifferent to
the gold craze, down from the crush

lily. There are so many delightful
ways of serving chicken that II Is
strange that stewed or roasted chick
en- holds such place in the average
household.
When making chicken pie a slice OF
onion added to the chicken when 1t
is cooking and removed before 1t Is
put into pie, will add much to the
taste OF the dish.
Chicken en- Casserole With Peas
When small new potatoes and green
pears are in abundance, Lave fowl
cut up as for fricassee, lay the pieces
in a casserole or in a granite pan.
Cover with water, and place tightly
covered in an oven with moderate
heat. Bake for two hours. Have small,
even-sized potatoes, those the size OF
a walnut, allowing three or four for
each person, have pint and half
OF shelled peas. Put these into the
casserole around the chicken. There
should be at least pint of liquor in
the casserole. Season with salt, pep
per and two tablespoonfuls Of butter:
cover the bake three-quarters OF an
hour. Remove the cover and add
cupful of good cream and bake Is min
utes longer with the cover removed.
Serve this in the dish in which It Is
baked.
Rice added to the chicken inatead
of the peas and potatoes makes an
other most savory dish. This is the
one which will be seasoned with rin-
seng.
The southern people like chicken,
lima beans and peppers. The bealls
are soaked over night and then the
dish is cooked at least four hours In
the oven.

"Just at the present moment it is a
city of fools-and l, the king Of the
fools, have made 1t So" said Brouillard
gloomily. From his seat on the porch
step he was frowning down upon the
outspread scene in the valley, where
the triangular shadow of Jacks noun
tain was creeping slowly across to the
foot of Chigringo. Something in the
measured eye-sweep brought him to
his feet with hasty exclamation:
Good Lord! the machinery has
