found himself consulting Meade on
occasion.
tie had accompanied the younger
man ON one of those rambies which he
had hitherto taken alone. He had not
broken down Meade's reserve, but he
had won his admiration aud regard.
Vandeyenter was not unknown In en-
gineering circles. In earthwork he
Itwas by way Of being an authority.
His experience had been varied and
extensive. Meade's reserve and reti-
cence rather hurt the older engineer.
He had invited confidence and had
even given his affection. He intimat-
ed deiicately that If the other We're
under cloud Yandeventer might be
In position to help him.
1t was fortunate for Meade's pur-
| pose of concealment, for his ineognito.
/ that most of his engineering work had
been done abroad and that he had
| been out of touch with American en-
sineering for practically the whole of
! his career. YandeYenter was Har-
ward man. too. and that made 1t espe-
ciaily hard for Meade to keep from
beuasiag himself As matter of
! fact, the younger man actually longed
to make q clean breast It, but he
could NOT quite bring himself to do it

Ipletion of the dam and the long canal,

deventer was already making plans
for another big job, and he had de-
l.cided, in his own mind, that among the
sfbortlinafes whom he would take

the first chance. Vandeventer felt
proud and satisfied when he surveyed
the work that had been accomplished
in the six months OF labor. no be sure
the delay in the completion of the
| spillway disquieted him little.
The dam had reached the spilIwa,
level fortnight before, and had now

Hof the dam was 120 feet above ths
