~ CHAPTER XIV A:
The Feast of Hurrahs

Mirapolis the marvellous was a hus-
Ting, roaring, wide-open mining camp
of twenty thousand souls by the time
the railroad, straining every nerve and
crowding three shifts into the 24-hour
day, pushed its rails along the foothill
bench Of Chlgringo, tossed up its tenn
porary station buildings, and signaled
its opening for business by running a
mammoth excursion from the cities Of
the immediate East
Busy as 1t was, the city took time
to celebrate flttingly the event which
linked 1t to the outer world. BY proc.
lamation Mayor Cartwright declared a
holiday. There we're lavish displays
Of bunting, an impromptu trades pa
rade, speeches from the plaza band
stand, free lunches and free liquor
a day of boisterous, hilarious triumph
ings, with, incidentally, much buying
and selling and many transfers Of the
precious front foot" or choice cor
ner."
Yielding to pressure, which was no
less imperative from below than from
above, Brouillard had consented to
suspend work on the great dam during
the day Of triumphs, and the recla-
nation service force, smaller now than
at any time since the beginning of the
undertaking, went to swell the crowds
on Chigringo avenue. Mr.. Cartwright
had been memorable, and Brouillard
found himself discomfortingly empha-
sized as chairman Of the civic recep-
ton committee.
1t was after his part Of the speech
making, and while the plaza crowds
were still believing their approval Of
the modest forensic effort, that he
went to sit beside Miss Cartwright in
the temporary grand stand. hopping
his face and otherwise exhibiting the
after effects of the unfamiliar strain.

Build Stone Crusher.

buiIo Stone CruSneT.
According to l.. @. Stone, president
of the board of trustees Of the peni-
tertiary, and E. J. O'Keefe, superin-
tendent, no time will be lost in the
preliminary detail work necessary to
getting the first state operated and
owned limestone crushing plant begun.
The crusher, which will be located at
Okolona, has been contracted for, and
will turn out an average of eight tons
per hour, and the contractors, as stat
ed, will run the machinery for the first
thirty days without cost to the state.
This plant will cost, installed and laid
down at the crushing site, about ST.
800, which Is reasonable, leaving, as
stated, a fair working margin from
the $4,000 available for the land, the
machinery and operation of each plant
to be established. AS stipulated in the
act Of the Legislature, the output is to
be delivered to the farmers and land
owners at actual cost of production.
For the present. as stated, the peniten-
tiary board will rest content with the
one plant in North Mississippi, though
eventually, 1t is expected, a similar
plant will be in running order In the
lower part of the state.

In spite of it's clumsy build, the hip
popotamus can trot fast. That Is why
he was given the name of r~iver-horse.
The hippo's feet are kept far apart by
the wide body and make paths with a
ridge down the middle, SO as to be &C.
ognizable at once. They swim well,
but go at their greatest speed when
they can gallop along the bottom in
shallow water. They can stay under
water a long time, and when they come
to the surface they send little jets Of
spray from their nostrils. The COW is
devoted to the calf. The young one
stands on her back as the mother
swims.

Jackson.
Mobilization of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard for duty on the Mexican
border commenced at noon June ~.
The first company to go into mob
ilization quarters was the Capital
Light Guards, or Company F, of Jack
son, Capt. C. l.. Beacham command
ing. The company is now quartered at
Camp Swep Taylor, in the western
suburbs.
Telegraphic orders for mobilization
sent out by Adj. Gen. Scales require
the companies to be first rendezvoused
at their home station for recruiting to
the minimum quota Of Y men.
AS soon as the organizations pass
muster they will be brought to the
concentration camp in city.
While the Capital Light Guards Is
now the only company at the concen'
traticn camp, Adj. Gen. Scales states
that other organizations will be hur'
ried to mobilization grounds.
Twelve infantry companies OF the
Mississippi National Guard, compris-
ing the Fourth, Second and Fifth indie
pendent Battalions, have been ordered
by Adj. Gen. Erie c. Scales to prepare
for Mexican service.
The following military organizations
have been ordered to mobilize:
Fourth Battalion, Maj. Geo. c. Hos
kins, Brookhaven; Company H Of
Brookhaven, Company + Of Jackson.
Company M of Kosciusko, Company D
Of Yazoo City.
Second Battalion, Maj. E. B. Boyd
of Macon in command; Company G Of
West Point, Company A Of Hatties-
burg, Company c Of Columbus, Com
pany M of Arkabutla.
Fifth Battalion, Maj. Geo. E. Hoga-
boom of Vicksburg In command; Com
pany A OF Vicksburg, Company B of
Natchez, Company c of G%reenville,
Company of Vicksburg.
Under the United States army regu-
latiOns the company commanders must
report a minimum strength ready to
move of 70 men before they can pro-
coed to the state mobilization camp,
and a maximum strength of 140 before
they will be sent from the mobilization
camp to the border.
SO far the two military bands, the
hospital corps, Company B of Aber-
deem, Company F of Scooba, Company
D of Meridian, and an independent
company at Hazlehurst, have not been
ordered out, though 1t is believed that
they will be very soon.

out Of the pocket Of the coat. and the
next moment the door opened and
closed and the photographer was left
alone.
Having been planned before there
was a city to 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 a little mound Of earth, and stood
the two paper cylinders on it, side by
side.
The tempered glow from the city
electrics made a soft twilight in the
little plaza; he could see the wrapper
colors Of the two signal fires quite
well. 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
Ma%ssingale'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 Of
ChiUripOn pnrnliavn1 a,,n l~y @hn f;nxy
fleck 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 a city gone wild with
enthusiasm came to answer him. Some
where on the avenue a 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
yer the blue cylinder. This Is your
message Of cheer, whether you take IL
that way or not" he went on, whisper
Ing again to the silent void. But when
the fuse Of the blue light was fairly
fixing he suddenly pinched 1t out and
held the match to the other.
Up IN the high bench Of the great
mountain Amy M~assingale was pacing
to and fro on the puncheon-t1oored
porch Of the home cabin. The girls
gaze never wandered far from a dark
area in the western edge Of the town.
the semlcircle 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 a binding fare followed to prick
out the headquarters, the commissary
and the mess house, she sank In a 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.
