We are increasing facilities everywhere with a
view TO future needs. Service conditions are
being improved insofar as expansion of switch
board capacity will improve them.
How long has this work been in progress2
Formany months. Installation Of switchboards
is slow, exacting work. You can imagine that
construction Of such intricate mechanism can
not proceed very rapidly.
Millions of wires terminate in single switch
board. All must be spliced by hand. So here,
it is steady, persistent plodding that counts.

Smith changed his street clothes
leisurely after Starbuck had gone, and
when he went downstairs stopped at
the desk to toss his room key to the
clerk
The hotel register was lying open on
the counter. and from force OF habit he
ran his eye down the list Of late ar
rivals. At the end of the list, in
sprawling characters upon which the
Ink was yet fresh, he read his SEN
tence, and for the first time in his life
knew the meaning Of panic fear. The
newest entry was:
"Josah HIGHLANDER and daughter,
Chicago"
Smith was not misled by the place
name. There was only one Josiah
Richlander' in the world for him, and
he knew that the Lawrenceville mag
nate, in registering from Chicago, was
only following the example of those
who, for good reasons or no reason,
use the name of their latest stopping
place for a registry address.
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-08-03
CHAPTER xI-continued.

It had been a day of nagging distrac-
lions. A rumor had been sent afoot-
by Stanton, as Smith made no doubt
limiting that the new dam would be I'M
safe when 1t should be completed; that
its breaking, with the reservoir behind
1t, would carry death and destruction
to the lowlands and even to the city.
Timid stockholders, seeing colossal
damage suits in the bare possibility,
had taken the alarm, and Smith had
spent the greater part Of the day in
trying to calm their fears. For this
cause, and some others. he was on the
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped in
on his way home from the dam and
protested.
Look here, John; you're overriding
this thing world without end! You
break 1t off short, right now, and go
home with me and get your dinner and
a good nights rest. Get your coat and
hat and come along. or I'll rope you
down and hog-tie you"
For once in a way, Smith found that
there was no fight left in him. and he
yielded, telling himself that another
acceptance of the Baldwin hospitality,
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-08-03
CHAPTER XII,
A Reprieve,


Smiths blood ran cold and there was
momentary attack of shocked con-
sternation, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste in curious
speculations as to the Why and where
fores. Present safety was the prime
consideration. With Josiah Richland-
er and his daughter in Brewster and
guests under the same roof with him,
discovery, Identification, disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could hAr-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do If discovery came For
SO long time as should be consumed
in telegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrenceville, Smith might venture to
call himself free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed a
passing autocab at the hotel entrance,
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem-
bered that he had expressly declined
a dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business to
Mrs Baldwin in person when she had
called at the office with her daughter.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked, or at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that of man who has the
privilege Of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel was loosely hospitable, as
he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was grR-
ciously lenient-was good enough, in
deed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for recOnsidering at the last moment |;
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass; Notwithstanding, Also that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that of a family friend.
Smith could never be quite sure of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father colonel daddy"
Her pose, II 1t were pose was the at
titude Of the entirely unspoiled child of
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
Of all the words expressive of trans
parency and absolute and utter uncon-
cealment. Yet there were moments
when he fancied he could get passing
glimpses of subtler personality at the
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-08-03


more or less, could make no difference
But no sooner was the cOlOnefS gray
roadster headed for the bridge across
the Timanyoni than the exhilarating
reaction set in. In twinkling the
business cares, and the deeper worries
as we'll, fled away, and in their place
heart-hunger was loosed.
After dinner, a meal at which he ate
little and was well content to satisfy
the hunger Of his soul by the road of
the eye, Smith went out to the portico
to smoke. The most gorgeous Of noun
tain sunsets was painting itself upon
the sky over the western Timanyonis,
grandeurs, and no ears for any sound
save one-the footstep he was listen
ing for. 1t came at length, and he
tried to look as tired as he had been
when the colonel made him close
his desk and leave the office; tried and
apparently succeeded.
"You poor, broken-down Samson.

money Philistines on your shoulders

you? Let me be your Delilah and fix
that chair so that it will be really COM
Portable" She said 1t only half mock
ingly, and he forgave the sarcasm
when she arranged some Of the ham,
mock pillows in the easiest of the
porch chairs and made him bury him
self luxuriously in them.
Still holding the idea, brought over
from that afternoon Of the name ques-
tioning, that she had in some way dis
covered his true identity, Smith was
watching narrowly for danger-signals
when he thanked her and said:
"You say it just as it is. I had to
come. But you could never be any
body's Delilah, could you? She was a
betrayer, If you recollect."
He made the suggestion purposely,
but 1t was wholly ignored, and there
was no guile in the slate-gray eyes.
"You mean that you didn't want to
