Ken didn't realize the full sig
nihcance of Old Enoch's warning
until the second day on the job
Then he understood why his Uncle
Rufe had handed him the RESPONSE
bility. You make good out in Cac-
tus Valley" Uncle Rufe had said,
and We'll talk about sending you
to Egypt" Uncle Rufe, like Enoch,
was of the old school. He knew
that the Cactus Dam would be a
test that would either make or
break his nephew. Rufe didn't put
much faith in college education and
engineering degrees. He leaned
toward that mythical school of
hard knocks.
Ken had been amused at Uncle
Rufe's admonitions: now there was
no room for amusement in his
thoughts. The thirty-odd men de-
tailed to pick and shovel labor I'M
der his supervision took one look
at the youngSter who was to be
their boss, winked at one another
and settled down to the business
of making the job last as long as
possible by the simple eXpedlent
Of stalling.
Time was an element that Ken
had to consider. Uncle Rufe had
given him until November l to fin
ish up. His young mouth grew hard
as he watched the men leaning on
their shovels. They didn't respect
him. The only way he could COM
mand their respect would be to
challenge a couple of them to a
physical combat and beat them to
pulp. He couldn't do that. He
wasn't able. The outlook was dis
heartening. The futility of it
crushed his spirit. The task was
beyond him, and that meant he'd
miss out on the Egyptian expedi-
ton. He wanted to 60 to Egypt in
the worst way. Uncle Rufe had
said he wasn't equal to it, and this
would certainly prove that he was
right.
Ken went back to his little tin
rooted shack that served as his
field Office and sat for long time
in thought. For want of something
better to do he glanced over the
specifications that he already knew
by heart and then read through
the information they had provided
him about the geological nature Of
the country.
An hour later when Erik Jarvis,
gang foreman, came in he found
Ken changing into his city clothes.
"Quittin'?" Erik asked. There was
the barest hint of sarcasm in the
foreman's tone.
Ke nsmiled. He had learned to
smile at sarcasm.
I'm going in to Denver. You
keep things going, Erik. I'll be
back tonight, I expect
But it was close to midnight when
Ken finally returned. He took a
lantern and went down to the job
and looked around AS he expect
cd, there was very little evidence of
a hard days work by the 80 laborers.

surface soil in the shortest possible
time.
Ever see anything like it?" Erik
asked. why, look, them guys is
practically breaking their backs"
He looked at Ken, triumphantly
Know why? One of 'em found
$40 gold piece this morning."
"What?" said Ken, blankly.
Erik chuckled. Down there
where the dams going to be there
used to be an old Western frontier
town. 1t was washed up by cloud
burst in the mountains. Well, it
looks as though some of them old
time gamblers left some souvenirs
behind. If there's one gold piece
there might be more. Get it?"
ken'S eyes grew wide as under
standing came. Holy smoked" he
cried. ut looks as though I might
go to Egypt after all"
Followed by Erik he went down
the hill. There was no need to urge
the men to hurry now. They worked
furiously. About II o'clock one of
them emitted an exultant cry and
held up dull piece of metal. 9th
ers crowded around. 1t was a $40
gold piece.
Ken went back to his shack and
relaxed over his drawing board. He
felt triumphant. No need to worry
and fret and plead with the men
now. The fact that the second gold
Moro bod t.
lance from the first was fine. If
only they'd keep on digging the
project would be completed in rec
ord time.
1t was. During the next week
four more gold pieces were un-
earthed. The men worked early and
late and during their lunch hour.
When the clearing was done Ken
was confronted by a new problem.
The men didn't want to quit. The
young engineer frowned over this
for a while; then he summoned Erik
Jarvis.
Erik, the jobs done. I'm going
back East and make my reservations
for Egypt. Call the men off"
They won't quit, boss. Not when
they suspect there's more gold to be
dug up
There isn't any more. couldn't
afford to invest more than a h'n-
dred dollars" He laughed. st had
quite a job convincing the mint up
at Denver needed those gold pieces.
Erik, you make a speech to the
men and tell them about it but wait
until after I'm gone This might
teach them that a man who reads
books does have some use in the
world"
Erik watched the young engineer
bump away in his old touring car.
Then he grinned. Secretly he had
always admired a man with brains
rathed than Drawn, and this kid
had brains all right. He turnd back
toward the valley. Well, it was up to
him to break the news. He caressed
his knuckles. That's what YOU get
Tor being only a gang foreman. he
thought, philosophically.

Pierce Hall Group
Offers Comedy.

HERE was something lacking In the
Pierce Hall Players production of
Three Cornered Moon" as presented
Tor the first time last evening. Three
Cornered Moon" Gertrude Tonko-
noey's projection of completely SLAP
happy family, is one of the most anus
ing OF the stand-bys. The company un
fl1teentn and Harvard way did not
make it appear quite so amusing as it
really is. however. Perhaps it was an
Infectious torpor among the players.
perhaps it was the absence of the
usually dependable directorial touch
OF Howard Wentworth. 1t was not
lack OF ability, for almost every per-
former evidenced understanding of
how their jobs should be done.
A good shaking up seems the only
way to describe what was needed to
raise this effort to the standard of
Pierce Hall enactments. The actors
did not impress as able to turn them
selves into Mad Hatters, which is what
this piece requires. Perhaps they will
achieve that state of studied disorder
by $3.50 this evening when a repeat
performance is to be given. Their
productions over period of years
have earned the Pierce Hall PLAYERS
the ranking of the best group of
amateur thespians in the city. The
present company is capable; it need
not drop the rating a notch.
Best performance last night was that
Of Ellen G. Scholze as the educated
young miss who decides that she has
sampled everything in life and now
might as we'll die. Others who seemed
at ease were Nell Childs, playing Ma
Rimplegar, who plays the market on
margin without telling the kiddies
until all is lost Edmund Evans as the
conceited law-clerking son, Burke
Edwards and Frank S. Koonce in the
roles of Doug and Ed Rimplegar.
Thomas Enzor played Donald, the
moody author beau of daughter Rimp-
legar with less enthusiasm than the
others managed to summon. Charlotte
Tilley offered an entertaining bit as
the maid. c. A. M.
