SYNOPSIS.

Brouillard, chief engineer of the Niquoia. irrigation dam, meets J. Wesley Cort- wright and his daughter, Genevieve, and explains the reclamation work to them Cartwright sees a big chance to make money. organizes a company and obtains government contracts to furnish power and material. Steve Massingale threatens to start gold rush if Brouillard does not influence President Ford to build a rail- road branch to the place, thus opening an easy market for the ore from the Lit tie Susan" mine. On visit to Amy Mas singale at her fathers mine Brouillard tells her of his need for money to pay off his dead fathers debts. She tells him to be true to himself He decides for the ex- tension. Mirapolis, the city of numbered days, booms. Cartwright persuades Brouil- lard to become consulting engineer of the consolidated electric power company in re- turn for $100,000 stock. Stoppage of work on the railroad threatens a panic Brouil- lard spreads the Massingale story of placer gold in the river bed and starts a gold rush. The gold rush promises to stop the reclamation project. Amy tells Brouil- lard that her father has incorporated the Little Susan" and is in Cortwright's clutches financially He tells her he has made $100, GOO and declares his love- Amy loves him but shows him that he has be- come demoralized. Massingales placer gold find was fraud, but a real find is made.

ble of potting either one or both of you for the attack on his son. But so far he has done nothing-has hardly left Steve's bedside"
 MT. J. Wesley Cartwright flung him. self back in his luxurious swing chair and clasped his pudgy hands over the top of his head where the reddish-gray hair was thinning reluctantly.
 I've been putting it off to see which way the cat was going to jump he ad- mitted. If young Massingale is out of danger, it is time to get action. What was the quarrel about, between him and Van Bruce?"
 Tt occurs to me that your son would be a better source of information, said Brouillard, evading.
 Wan Bruce has told me all he re. members-which isn't much, owing to his own beastly condition at the time. He says young Massingale was threat ening something something in con- nection with the Coronida grant-and that he got the insane idea into his head that the only way to stop the threat was by killing Massingale."
 The sandy-gray eyes of the million aire promoter were shifting while he spoke, but Brouillard fixed and held them before he said: Why should Massingale threaten your son, Mr. Cortwright?"
 T don't know" denied the promoter, and he said it without finching hairs breadth.
 Then can tell you," was the equal ly steady rejoinder. Some time ago you lent David Massingale, through the
The Pulaskian., 1916-04-14

bank, pretty large sum of money for development expenses on the Little Susan, taking mortgage on every thing in sight to cover the loan. But when the railroad was an assured fact he learned that the Red Butte smelt- CTS wouldn't take his ore, giving some technical reason which he knew to be a mere excuse"
 MT. Cartwright nodded. "So far you might be reading it out of book"
 Tn consequence, David Massingale finds himself in a fair way to become broken man by the simplest of com. mercial processes. The bank holds his notes, which will presently have to be paid. If he can't pay, the bank comes back on you as his indorser, and you fall back on your mortgage and take the mine. Isn't that about the size of it?"
 Tt is exactly the size of it. I do want the Little Susan and I've got a good friend or two in the Red Butte smelters who will help me get it."
 Brouillard's black eyes were snap ping, but his voice was quite steady when he said: Thank you That brings us down to the mention of the Coronida grant and Stephen Massin- gales threat-which your son can't re- member"
 "Right-o," said MT. Cartwright still with predetermined geniality What was the threat?"
 T don't know, but the guessing list is open to everybody. There was once a grant of many square miles of noun tain and desert somewhere in this re- zion made to one Don Estacio de Mon- tarriba Coronida. Like those of most of the great Spanish land grants, the boundaries of this one were loosely described and"
 MT. Cartwright held up fat hand.
 T know what you're going to say. But we went into all that at Washing ton befoie we ever invested a single dollar in Shis valley. As you may or may not know, the reclamation serv- ice bureau tried to choke us off. But when it came down to brass tacks, they lacked witness. We may be in the bed of your proposed lake, but we're safely on Coronida land"
 "So you say" said Brouillard quietly, land on the strength of that you have been guaranteeing titles. Just there is where Massingale comes in, imag- inc. He has spent twenty years or more in this region, and he knows every landmark in it. What if he should be able to put a lighted match to your pile of kindling. MT. Cort- wright?"

INCREASING THE EGG OUTPUT
Success In Poultry Business Depende Largely on Attention and Care
 Given to Eggs.

Keep the hens nests clean and have plenty of nests.
 Gather eggs twice daily in warm weather and daily during other sea sons.
 Handle eggs as little as possible, % handling deteriorates them.
 Market eggs of the correct size, 24 to 28 ounces a dozen.
 Cut out all very large or very small eggs.
 Sell nothing but clean eggs; never wash them for market.
 Produce only infertile eggs by re- moving all roosters as soon as the breeding period Is over.
 Keep all eggs in cool place.
 Don't let eggs come into contact with vegetable or kitchen odors.
 Don't hold eggs too long, as they de- teriorate rapidly; market at least twice week.
 Keep only one breed of chickens and raise eggs of one color.
 Market your eggs in clean, 30-dozen cases, or in cartons holding one dozen eggs, depending on the demand.
 Don't expose eggs to flies and dust.
 Confine broody hens at once and re- move them to the matching depart ment.
 Never expose market eggs to the direct rays of the sun, to extreme heat or rain.
 Keep poultry houses free from yer min.
 Feed wholesome. clean feed and provide pure water in clean vessels and often.
 Sell your eggs only to buyers, who buy ioss-off and who are willing to pay for quality. .

ttpS " 0"'r'y '''~~~~S' take her down there at such time as this ?"
 The young missionary was frowning thoughtfully. T think it 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 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 crime to turn your laborers loose on the town on such an occasion as this," said Cast ner, dealing out his words as frankly and openly as he did his blowe.
 Brouillard shrugged.

crowded street from the plaza to the Metropole corner Brouillard saw and heard things to make his blood boil. Twice before he reached Bongras' cafe entrance the engineer shouldered his way to the rescue of some badgered nucleus of excursionists, and in each instance there were frightened women to be hurriedly spirited away to the nearest place of seclusion and safety.
 It was in front of Bongras' that Brouillard came upon Rev Hugh Cast ner, the hot-hearted young zealot who had been flung into Mirapolis on the crest of the tidal wave of mining ex. citement. Though Hosford-who had not been effaced, as MT. Cartwright had promised he should be-and the men of his clique called the young missionary meddlesome visionary, he stood in the stature of man, and lower Chigringo avenue loved him and swore by him now and then when some poor soul, hastily summoned, was to be eased off into eternity.
 When Brouillard caught sight of him
 
 Castner was looking out over the seething street caldron from his com manding height of six feet of athletic man stature, his strong face mask of bitter humiliation and concern.
 "Brouillard, this is simply hideous!' he exclaimed. "If this devils carnival goes on until nightfall we shall have a revival of the old Roman Saturnalia at it's worst!" Then, with swift blow at the heart of the matter: You're the man I've been wanting to see; you are pretty close in with the Cartwright junta-is it true that free whisky has been dealt out to the crowd over the bar in the Niquoia building?"
 Brouillard said that he did not know, which was true, and that he could not believe it possible, which was not true. "The Cartwright people are as anxious to have the celebration pass off peace ably as even you can be-" he assured the young missionary, trying to but tress the thing which was not true. When riot comes in at the door, busi- ness flies out at the window; and, after all, this feast of hurrahs is mere ly another bid for business"
 But Castner was shaking his head
 'sI can't answer for Mr. Cartwright personally. He and Handley and Schermerhorn and few of the others seem to stand for responsibility of a sort. But, MT. Brouillard, want to tell you this: somebody in authority is grating upon the vice of this com munity, not only today but all the time"
 "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

CHAPTER XIV Quicksands
<S -

A short week after the reclamation service headquarters had been moved from the log-built offices on the gov ernment reservation to the commodi- ous and airy suite on the sixth floor of the Niquoia building Brouillard re- ceived the summons which he had been expecting ever since the night of rioting and lawlessness which had marked the close of the railroad cele- bration.
 MT. Cartwright would like to see you in his rooms at the Metropole," was the message the office boy brought, and Brouillard closed his desk with a snap and followed the boy to Bongras'.
 The shrewd-eyed tyrant of Mirapo- lis was in his shirt sleeves, busily die tating to two stenographers alternate ly, when the engineer entered the third room of the series; but the work was suspended and the stenographers were sent away as soon as Brouillard was announced.
 We'll" was the millionaire's greet ing, you waited to be sent for, didn't you?
 Why not?" said Brouillard shortly. T have my work to do and you have yours"
 And the two jobs are at opposite ends of the string, you'd say. Never mind; we can't afford to throw each other down, and just now you can tell me few things that want to know. How is young Massingale get ting along?"
 "As well as could be expected. Car ruthers-the doctor-says he is out of danger
 "H'm. It has been handed in to me two or three times lately that the old man is out gunning for Van Bruce or for me. Any truth in that?"
 T think not. Massingale is a Ken tuckian, and fancy he is quito capa-

Avoid Heat-Producina Foods.

Care should be exercised to avoid feeding too much heat-producine foods. but we should strive to main tain the breeding animals in good. vigorous flesh-forming condition by feeding them a ration made up of clean, wholesome blood. bone and muscle-forming foods.

Disinfect the Coop.

To keep down lice and mites spray the roosts and walls of the chicken coop with good disinfectant. If you cannot do this, you can at least clean out the coop and kerosene the roosts well with rag on the end of stick. Take the same precautions with the nests.
