CHAPTER XVI.
At ANY Cost.

With all things moving favorably for
Timanyoni High Line up to the night
of fiascos, the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take a sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two of his subordi-
mates. Early the next day there were
panicky rumors in the air, none of them
traceable to any definite starting point.
One of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste in
building had added to it's insecurity.
On the heels of this came clamorous
court petitions from ranch owners be
low the dam site, setting forth the
food dangers to which they were ex
posed and praying for an injunction to
stop the work.
That this was a new move on STAN
toms part, neither Smith nor Stillings
questioned for moment; but they no
sooner got the nervous ranchmen paci-
fed by giving an indemnity bond for
any damage that might be done, than
other rumors sprang up. Fer one day
and yet another Smith fought mechan-
ically, developing the machinelike dog
gedness of the soldier who sees the
battle going irresistibly against him
and still smites on in sheer despera-
ton. He saw the carefully built or
ganization structure. reared by his own
efforts upon the foundation laid by
Colonel Baldwin and his ranchman as
sociates, falling to pieces. In spite of
all he could do, there was a panic of
stock-selling; the city council, alarmed
by the persistent story of the unsafety
Of the dam, was threatening to cancel
the lighting contract with Timanyoni
High Line; and Kinzie. though he was
doing nothing openly, had caused the
word to be passed far and wide among
The Timanyoni stockholders disaster
could be averted now only by prompt
action and the swift effacement of their
ruIe-or-ruin secretary and treasurer.

way the colonel put It at the close Of
I te second day of back-slippings. "They
say you're fiddlin' while ROme's a.

mean by that; don't"
Smith did know. During the two
DAYS of stress Miss Verda had been
very exacting. There had been another
night at the theater and much time
killing after meals in the parlors of the
Hophra house. Worse still, there had
been a daylight auto "trip about town
and up to the dam. The victim was
writhing miserably under the price
paying, but tnere seemed to be no help
for it. Since the night of Verda Rich
lander's arrival in Brewster, he had not
seen Corona; he was telling himself

him, Billy; no, there's nothing personal
about it; but when great corporation
like the Escalante Land company gets
down to plain anarchy and dynamiting,
it's time to make somebody sweat for
It. Let's go and get Shaw"
Together they went across the CORR
dor, and Smith unlocked the door of
the disused room. The light switch
was on the door-jamb and Starbuclz
found and pressed the button. The
single incandescent bulb hanging from
the ceiling sprang alive-and showed
the two men at the door an empty
room and an open window. The bird
had flown.
Starbuck was grinning again when
he went to look out of the window.
The roof of the adjoining building was
only a few feet below the sill level,
and there was a convenient fire escape
ladder leading to the ground.
''It's us for that roadhouse out on
the Topaz trail before the news gets
around to Stanton and Lanterby," he
said definitely; and they lost no time
in securing an auto for the dash.
But that, too, proved to be a fiasco
When ttey reached Barton's all-night
place on the hill road, the bar was
still open and a card game was run
ming in an upstairs room. Starbuck
did the necessary cross-questioning
of the dog-faced bartender.
''You know me, Pug, and what I can
do to you if l have to. We want Hank
Lanterby. Pitch out and show US
where"
The barkeeper threw up one hand
as if he were warding off a blow.
"You cd have him in a holy minute,
for all O. me, Billy; you sure could"
he protested. "But he's gone.'
"On the level?" snapped Starbuck.
"That's straight; I wouldn't lie to
you, Billy. Telephone call came from
town little spell ago, and got Hank

1t is well to allow the calf to re-

1t is somewhat easier to teach young
calves to drink than it is to teach old

sary for the calf to become hungry by
the omission OF one or more feeds be-
fore it will drink milk from pail.
One method of teaching the calf to
drink is TO get it to suck the attend

tact with the milk in the pail. The
finger can be withdrawn gradually,
and the calf will usually continue to

than force, is prerequisite on the
