CHAPTER v.
The Specialist.

Though the matter of calling in an
expert doctor of finance to diagnose
the alarming symptoms in Timanyoni
ditch had been left indeterminate in the
talk between Colonel Baldwin and him
self, Williams did not let it go entirely
by default. On the day following the
Brewster Office conference the engineer
sent for Smith, who was checking the
output of the crushers at the quarry,
and little later the "betterment" man
presented himself at the door of the
corrugated-iron shack which served as
q field office for the chief.
Williams looked the cost-cutter over
as he stood in the doorway. Smith was
thriving and expanding handsomely in
the new environment. He had let his
beard grow and it was now long enough
to be trimmed to point. The travel
broken clothes had been exchanged for
working khaki, with lace-boots and leg
gings, and the campaign hat of the en-
gineers. Though he had been less than
month on the job, he was already be-
ginning to tan and tougher under the
healthy outdoor work-to roughen, as

TAKE OFF OBSERVATION CARS
Coaches Were Part of Equipment on

cago and Florida.

Observation cars on the limited
trains operated between Chicago and
Florida have been taken off as a war
economic measure. The cars were
part of the equipment of limited trains
of all roads between Chicago and Flor
ida. In addition, these cars were ex-
pensive, because only one-half were
useable for berths, and stenographers,
porters, BARRIERS, and in some cases
maids, were employed in the cars. Reg
ular sleeping cars have been substitute
ed for the observations. So far this
is the only district in which these OBJ
servation cars have been abandoned.

idad. Every year the servants, who
are all black, give grand ball for
their masters and mistresses. The
Princes building, a huge place where
all public entertainments are held, is
engaged, and everything is done in the
best style. There are two halls for
dancing one for the servants and the
other for their guests, both of which
are beautifully decorated.
The best band in the island is en-
gagged, and the guests are given a
champagne supper. Etiquette is very
strict and precedence rigidly observed
by the servants, the governors butler
and his lady going in before the chief
Justices groom, and 80 on.

Williams nodded.
"Well, as 1 say, one corner of the Es-
calante reaches over the HOphras and
out into the park, covering about eight
or ten square miles of the territory
just beyond us on our side of the river.
Starbuck told me yesterday that big
Eastern colonization company had got

tract"
The chief of construction bounded
out of his chair and began to walk the
floor. "By George" he said; and
again: "By George! That's what
we're up against, colonel! Where will
those fellows get the water for their
land? There is no site for dam lower
down than ours, and, anyway, that land
lies too high to be watered by any
thing but a nighttime ditch !"
