His voice sank little, and instinct
lively his three listeners drew closer.
"Don't think am proposing this
through motives of revenge merely. We
are business men, and revenge Is only
worth our while if it pays. This will
pay. There is force !: in England:
which, If it can be harnessed and led
properly, will result in millions coming
to you. -. 1t Is present now In
every nation-fettered, inarticulate,
un-co-ordin'ated. :. It is partly the.
result of the war-the war that the
idiots have waged. Harness
that force, gentlemen, coordinate it,
and use it for your own ends. :.
That is my proposal. Not only will
you humble that cursed country to the
dirt, but you will taste of power such
as few men have tasted before. -"
The Count stood up, his eyes blazing.

He resumed his seat, and his left
hand, slipping Off the table, beat

"Thls Is our opportunity-th oppor-

the money necessary: you have" E.
He leaned forward in his chair, and
glanced at the intent faces Of his au-
dience. Then lie began to speak. :.
Ten minutes later he pushed back
his chair.
"There Is my proposal, gentlemen,
In a nutshell. Unforeseen develop.
ments will doubtless occur; I have
spent my life overcoming the unexpect-
ed. What is your answer?"
He rose and stood with his back
to them by the fire, and for several
minutes no one spoke. Each man wes
busy with his own thoughts, and
showed it in his own particular way.
Comte de Guy stared unconcernedly at
the fire, as If Indifferent to the result
of their thoughts. In2his attitude at
that moment he gave true expression
to his attitude on life. Accustomed
to play with great stakes, he had just
dealt the cards for the most gigantic
gamble Of his life. :. What matter
to the three men, who were looking at
the hands he had given them, that only
a master criminal could have con-
ceived such q game? The only ques-
tiop which occupied their minds was
whether he could carry 1t through.
And on that point they had only their
judgment Of his personality to rely on.
Suddenly the American removed the
toothpick from his mouth and
stretched out his legs.
"There is a question which occurs to
me, Count, before make up my mind
on the matter. Are you disposed, to be
little more communicative about
yourself? If we agree to come in on
this hand, it's going to cost big money.
The handling Of that money is with
YOU. Wal-who are you?"
Won Gratz nodded Ills head in agree

the Counts face as he turned and
faced them. -.

H. Fa. Your.
 The two young men, taken into custody by Night Policeman Carl Lambertine, are being held pending hearing Monday before City Magis- trate John H. Robinson.

Investigation of the professional status of Olmsted & Gillelen, direct ing engineers of the highway com mission, is asked in letter to the American Association of Engineers, read at last nights meeting of the Yavapai branch.
 The inquiry, it is understood, will be directed to the standing of the firm as members of the association. In the letter, the Yavapai chapter in dicate the belief that the highway engineers acted contrary to the ethics of the profession in the matter of the contract with the highway com- mission. The communication goes on to say that Olmsted & Gillelen vio- lated a state law which provides that services of engineers resident outside the state shall not be contracted for by officials in the state and that the Los Angeles firm entered into con tract after an injunction had halted a previous contract.

RattIeSnake Bites
 How to Cure Them
CFrOm Sundays DailY)

Whether it's fear or poison that kills when a rattlesnake bites, IS a moot question. J. P Waldron, friend of Colonel E. A. Rogers, got bit Fri day, and showed no fear But "Dad' R. T. Barton, night watch man on Gurley street, brought rec ipe into the Journal-Miner office last night and requested that it be pub lished for protection of the snake bitten. Since it isn't against the Vol stead act, we do so:
 Take pan or bowl and pour in enough kerosene to cover the wound. It will draw the poison out immed- lately, and in the course of few minutes turn perfectly green. Then pour out the oil and refill the bowl, being careful to put in enough to completely cover the wound. Leave foot or hand in the oil as long as the oil turns green. Then put on a poultice of plain table salt and satu- rate thoroughly with oil. Keep this up for about an hour and there will be scarcely any danger of fatal re- sults."

CEREMONY PRELUDE STARTS
 DANCE AUG. 25TH
From Sundays Daily)

The Hopi Indians of Arizona are now engaged in the ceremonies pre- liminary to the annual snake dance, and the date for the dance has been set for August 25.
 The date of the dance is not made public until the preliminary ceremon- ies, lasting l6 days, have been com menced. These were started August III, according to word received from Hopiland.
 These ceremonies are secret, talk ing place in the kivas, but eight days before the dance proper the Indians go out on the mesa in search of the snakes. The washing of the snakes takes place in the kivas on the day preceding the dance.
 The Hopi snake dance is a prayer for rain. but this has recently been disputed by Emry Kopta, a sculptor, who has lived with the Hopis for .. is a form of ancestor worship, and that one of the preliminary ceremon- ials includes that of dancing upon a plank laid over a pit, to inform the ancestors that the ceremony has be- gun.
 The mesa of Pa1pi, where the dance will be held, may be reached by going to Flagstaff by rail or car, and thence by auto to the mesa, F miles from Keam's Canyon, Ariz.
 No kodaks are allowed at the dance, although pictures may be taken of the pueblo and of the In dians. The prohibition was issued about six years ago by the secretary of the interior, presumably on the ground that the dance being d relig- ious ceremonial, reverence should be required of the spectators.

CONSTRUCTION KEY NOTE IF
 CITY $ WORK
Extensive Program of Improve ment Being Gradually Carried Out by City; Includes Water, Street Work, Sidewalks

Extensive construction work being prosecuted by the city of Prescott in practically every part of the muni- cipality was explained yesterday by City Manager John H. Robinson. The work consists most spectacular ly of water-main construction in re- placing old pipe with new over the city: but other things are going on, including construction or sidewalks, installation of culverts and crossings, and gradual resumption of paving work
 On East Gurley street a lOC-foot culvert six feet wide and five feet high is being constructed to replace the old wooden bridge crossing over the Virginia street wash through which flow waters from rne hills to the south of the city. This culvert is being constructed at a cost of 5000, and is similar to one over the same wash on East Willis street, completed last year. It will be com pletely covered and hidden by the road, and motorists who use it will never realize that under the street is 5000 and several weeks worth of work
 Over a mile of sidewalks have been installed by Prescott property own CTS at the instigation of the city dur ing the past year. This is but part of a program looking toward com plete system of concrete sidewalks in the city. Orders have just been issued for installation of sidewalks on North Grove street, opposite the Mercy hospital Walks have been laid recently on Garden street and on North Marina recently.
 Among other work recently com pleted by the city is the grading of the road over the Pine Crest hill, which includes widening of curves, vastly improving the approaches to one of the picturesque scenic drives immediately contiguous to the city.
 Work planned by the city council includes completion of paving in the third district, which includes the four blocks around the plaza, Gurley street to Mt. Vernon and Cortez street to the depot Other paving will be installed when this is done. Estimates were included in the city budget to care for this work.
 East Willis street, approaching the road to Whipple Barracks, is being graveled, and gradually packed, with a view to giving this street hard resistant surface.

WANT ENGINEER
 IN COMMISSION
From Sundays DaiIyl


 Appointment of an engineer as a member of the county highway com mission will be sought by 5he Yava- pal Association of Engineers next month, it was decided following dis cussion of a proposal to that end at the regular meeting of the associa- ton here last night. The association members sought to. make clear in discussion of such move that they entertain no personal feelings against present members of the com mission, but that they believe an en- gineer regularly a member of the American Association of Engineers and its local branch should become a member of the commission.
 Charles Majors, secretary of the association, stated last night that "as far as litigation in the courts is con cerned, we shall await developments. However, it is important to get busy and decide on a man whom the en- gineers could endorse to the board of supervisors for appointment to the highway commission" The matter of selecting a man for endorsement is in the hands of the Clarkdale chap ter of the association. If they fail to select one" Majors said, it will, of course, fall to the Prescott local to do so" Majors stated that no par ticular engineer had yet been select ed for endorsement.
