A Fire of Little Sticks

Two days after the arrival Of the
letter from Washington announcing
the approaching invasion of private
capital, Brouillard, returning from a
horseback trip to the Buckskin, where
Anson and Griffith we're setting grade
stakes for the canal diggers, found a
visitor awaiting him In the camp mead
quarters office.
One glance at the thick-bodied,
heavy-faced man chewing an extinct
cigar while he made himself comfort
able in the only approach to loung-
ing chair that the Office afforded was
sufficient to awaken an alert antago-
nism. The big man introduced him
self without taking the trouble to get
out Of his chair.

marked

lard ragefully. Are you never going
to forget that senseless bit of twad-
dle?"
You're not giving me chance to
forget it, said the mapmaker soberly.
you told me that night that the
seven-year characteristic was change;
and you're a changed man, Victor, If
ever there was one. Moreover, 1t be-
gan that very night-or the next morn
ing"
Brouillard laughed
"All Of which is bad enough, you'd
say, Murray; but 1t isn't the worst Of
1t. I've just run UP against another
thing that Is threatening to raise
merry hell in this valley"
81 know" said the photographer
slowly. you've been having a seance
with Steve Massingale. Leshington
told me about it,
what did he tell your" Brouillard
demanded half angrily.
"Oh, nothing much; nothing to make
you hot at him. He said he gathered
the notion that the young sorehead
was trying to bully you"
"He was,' was the brittle admission.
See here, Grizzly"
The thing to be seen was a small
buckskin bag which, when opened,
gave up paper packet folded like a
medicine powder. The paper contained
a spoonful of dust and pellets Of metal
Of dull yellow luster.
The photographer drew a long
breath and fingered the nuggets.
"Gold-placer gold!" he exclaimed,
and Brouillard nodded and went on to
tell how he had come by the bag and
its contents.
"Massingale had an ak to grind, OF
course. You may remember that
Harding talked loosely about the Mas,
singale opposition to the building OF
the dam. There was nothing In 1t
The opposition was purely personal
and it was directed against Harding
himself, with Amy Massingale for the
exciting cause"
THAT girl?-the elemental brute!'
Grislow broke in warmly. He knew
the miners daughter fairly we'll BY

"You're

this time, and, In common with every
man on the staff, not excepting the
staff's chief, would have fought for
her in any cause.
Brouillard nodded. II don't know
what Harding did, but Smith, the Tri-
angle-Circle foreman, tells me that
Steve was on the warpath; he told
Harding when he left, last summer,
that If he ever came back to Niquoia,
he'd come to stay-and stay dead"
''I never did like Harding any too
WE'LL" was the photographers defini-
tive comment, and Brouillard went
back to the matter of the mornings $
seance and its golden outcome.
THAT is only little side issue
Steve Massingale came to me this
morning with proposal that was
about as cold-blooded as slap In the
face. Naturally, for good business rea'
sons of their own, the Massingales
want to see the railroad built over
War Arrow pass into the Niquoia In

Ford and the Pacific Southwestern

"Well? queried Grislow.
Exactly. You can imagine what
told him. Then he began to bully and
pulled the club on me"
Again Grislows smile was jocose.

MEAL-TlME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children Drink1

There are times when mother oI
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps 1t is some rich dessert
but more often It is tea or coffee.
II is better to have some delicioua
hot fooddrink that you can take your
self and feed to your children. con
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says; 4 used
coffee many years in spite Of the con
victlon that It injured my nervous sys
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend was
served with Postum and l determined
to get 8 package and try it myself
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
" colored beverage Since l quit cot
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
you may be sure find It a great
comfort to have o warm drink at
meals that can give my children,
with clear conscience that il viii
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

sola mounted the chariot, which was
swinging into It's place In line, and
hastened to my waiting thoat and galloped
to my station beside Tars Tarkas at the
rear OF the column.
We made a most Imposing and awe.in
spring spectacle as we strung out across
the yellow landscape; the ESQ ornate and
brightly colored chariots preceded by an
advance guard OF some 200 mounted war
riors and chieftains riding five abreast
and 100 yards apart, and followed by
like number in the Same formation. with
q score or more OF fankers on either side;
the so extra mastodons, or heavy draft
animals. known as zitldars. and the five or
six hundred extra thoats of the warriors
running loose within the hollow square
formed by the surrounding warriors.
The cleaning metal and Jewels of the
gorgeous ornaments of the men and
women, duplicated In the trappinss Of the
zitdars and thoats, and interspersed with
the flashing colors of magnificent silks
and furs and feathers, lent barbaric
splendor to the caravan which would have
turned an East Indian potenate green with
envy.
The enormous broad tires of the char.
lots and the padded feet of the animals
brought forth no sound from the moss.
