CHAPTER XVI
The Shadow of Catastrophe
Gay reached the territorial
capital twenty-four hours
later, and after refreshing
herself at the private lodging
2iouse where she maintained
ier fixed residence, went di
ractiy to the governor’s
carters in the domed build
ing that sat so serenely be
tween sweeps of lawn and
trees and commanded so many
▼tetas of the town. The gover
nor was deep in the early
jmnraing routine, but her name
forwarded by a secretary
opened instantly the inner
4oor. The tall and sparse
membered gray warrior rose
with a southern courtesy and
laced his fair lieutenant.
"Td begun to worry a little
atoout you. Miss Thatcher. Bit
•own. But you look fresh and
•ompetent. I would give all
that I owned to have the vigor
mt your years once more.
Tou’ve had breakfast? Well,
take coffee with me. Sereno—
•end out to the restaurant for
coffee and rolls for Miss That
cher and myself. Now—busi» j
ness.”

lory was a pure and precious
type of the bearded lawyer
emigrant who had risen to in
fluence through shrewd alli
ances and popular appeal. He
was a political being down to
the very roots; he fought his
battle* wholly on political
premises. There was something
of the glorified log roller about
bim. He knew every man, or
almost every man, in the terri- j
tory who could command more
than a dozen followers; his
mind was a card catalogue of
names and faces, and no little
of his power rose out of the
Ability to grip the hand of
■ome obscure qtlzen and say
3n a booming friendly voice:
-Hello, Jeb Smith. Haven’t
•een you for eight years. How
big is that baby boy now?” !
Yet because he used the old
And commonplace methods it
was no less true that the
governor was a capable officer.
He used whatever instrument
he could to establish his pur
poses. And those purposes |
were worthy. The territory
was proud of the governor; it
never had a better one. He
loved his friends in the good
old-fashioned way, and he
lought his enemies to the last
bloody political ditch also in
the good old-fashioned way.
Such was the chief to whom
Gay Thatcher reported. And
to him, over the hot coffee,
•he rendered her report. At
the end of it she added an
Irrelevant thought. I am
afraid I am giving you only
hearsay or only what I saw.
You would have been better
served, perhaps, if you had j
sent a man.”
"No such thing.” was the
governor's hearty denial.
-Give me the privilege of
knowing what I wanted done.
You have done it. Admirably.
A man might have cross
«;amined some of ,hose folks.

holes. I didn’t want that. What

hi* desert tent and brooded
over this fine scheme. William

is a dangerous critter. I never
have any doubt about a horse
that lays back his cars. That’s
honest meanness. But I do
mightily dislike the bland
eyed brute that plays possum
till you’re off guard. That’s
William.”
“Governor--how did you
know he was up to anything?”
The man smiled. “I have
lived a long time in public life
and I have acquired a little
of the serpent's wisdom. In
politics, my dear girl, we credit
nothing to our enemies and
suspect everything of them. I
| like to have my foes, worthy
and unworthy, near at hand
where I can keep an eye on
them. When they travel away
from me I begin to worry over
their welfare.” He rose from
the table and walked around
the room, losing the humor
ously cynical attitude. His
cheeks began to furrow up,
, his chin actually appeared to
! jut farther out, and a chill
came to his blue-gray eyes.
Piece by piece, the governor
: was mentally climbing into
his armor.
‘‘I have known William
Woolfridge a long while,” he
I continued, almost snapping
at the name. ‘‘And I never
| liked him. He’s lean, and he
doesn’t sleep sound at nights. I
He's got an uncommon streak
of genius in him, but it works
the wrong direction. He always
strikes me odd. A man always
has a feeling v/nen he comes
into the presence of a dan
gerous animal or when he is
faced with some mysterious
element. I always have it when
I get within ten yards of
William.”
“I have felt It,” said the girl.
“I knew you would. You
can’t lay a finger on it. You
just know. William never set
up to be a friend oi' mine. He
has aired it in certain quarters
he meant to smash me one of
these days. He is hooked up
with interests not bene-tidal
to the general welfare of rhe
territory. Now he’s engaged in
a promotion scheme that .vill
give us a black eye to the
world and cause many poor
people much misery. I always
knew he’d turn rotten, but I
never was able to figure jest
which way he’d take. Don’t
understand it, either. The
man’s got plenty of money.”
“Pride of personal power,”
suggested the girl.
The governor thrust a keen,
penetrating look toward her.
“You have ^ discovered his
secret. Ten men would not
have uncovered it. Women ft-el
these things. Men have to
learn them. Well, he Is too
clever. He trims too close to
legality. And many poor
families will suffer. We must
stop it. We must smash h'm!”
“I have been thinking ab t
those advertisements he
issued,” said the girl. “If you
will give me the morning to
see certain people I think I
can possibly bring you some
thing useful.”
“Who?”
“Mr. Bangor and Mr.
Hunnewell.”
“Munnewell’s a rat,” said
the governor. “Be careful of
him. Bangor is trying to play
the diplomat with me. He is
trimming to the wind. If you
want him to reveal business
secrets, mention my name.
Uncover your connections,
and I believe he'll open up. Go
to it. Now, it is very cold out
side. Wrap well up, Miss That
cher." And the governor es
corted her through the execu
tive offices and stood bare
headed in the raw December
wind, watching her go down
the long flight of stairs. A
tough, shrewd and gallant
man.
Gay went directly down
Capital Avenue to the Power
Building. Presently she was in
T. Q. Bangor’s office and
pieasauv-'j' cnatung over ims
and that. Bangftr knew her
social standing in tov/n, and
he also rem :bored of her
presence in Roaring Horse at
the time of the rodeo. There
fore he was cordial—a great
deal more cordial than a few
minutes later when she swept
away the polite reminiscences
and came to the issue.
“Have you,” she asked
rather bluntly, “any particu
lar prejudices to talking shop
with a woman. Mr. Eangor?”
“Not in the least,” replied
Bangor, puzzled.
“Are you going to build a
dam in Roaring Horse?”
“Well, now,” he answered,
and raised his hands to in
dicate mild bewilderment.
“Isn’t that a leading ques
tion?”
She admitted it was. “At
the same time a public utility
is more cr less open to leading
questions. And I am not asking
information for idle purposes.”
“Let me ask a leading ques
tion. then. Who is interested
in this besides yourself?”
“A gentleman at the other
end of Capital Avenue.” re
plied Gay. Bangor’s reaction
was instant. The air of
tolerant politeness went away.
He studied the girl thought
fully as if trying to reconcile
her femininity to her indis
putable position of trust. And
he made a wry expression.
“So the governor wants to
know definitely? Well, he
ought to know by now how the
wind blows. But if he needs
further assurance I wish you’d
tell him we gave over the idea
of building that dam almost
two weeks ago. We don’t want
to antagonize him at this stage
of the game. And our interests
have switched elsewhere. Tell
him just that.”
I Oil UUtUlUUUt'U 1/iiC lutu
two weeks ago? May I ask at
what particular date?”
Bangor didn’t grow im
patient, but he conveyed the
air of a man not wholly satis
fied. ‘‘The governor is very
inquisitive, is he not? The date
was—let me think—the four
teenth of last month. At a
board meeting. All our appli
cations were withdrawn then.”
She studied Bangor care
fully. 'T want to ask you an
other question, but I think I
had better be fair and let you
know the reason for all this.”
And in as few wbrds possible
she outlined Woolfridge*s land
settlement scheme and his
promise of an irrigation pro
ject to the settlers. ‘‘Perhaps
you know this. If you are not
building a dam you can see
the hardship it is going to
work on a great many people.
The governor feels badly
about that. He wants to stop
it. Mr. Bangor, it is almost
criminal. And you are being
placed in a false light with
those people down there. My
question is, did you tell Mr.
Woolfridge you were not build
ing the dam?”
‘‘Yes. A letter to him the
evening following the meet
ing of the board.”
‘‘Mr. Bangor, would you
care to put that information
in the form of a letter to the
governor?”
Bangor got up from his
chair and went to a window,
looking down the averue to
the stately outline of the
capital dome. He was afraid
of the governor; he was not
at all doubtful of the secure
position of his company. But
he wanted no breach of ra
lations between himself and
the governor; no misunder
standing that might result in
unfriendly legislation at the
ensuing biennial assembly. At
this time he was not prepared
to be stiff necked. He wanted
harmony. The company had
enough battles to fight with
out adding still another. He
owed Woolfridge something
for past help, yet he had de
cided directly after the meet
ing with Woolfridge in Roar
ing Horse that here was a
man who could do a great deal
of harm. Woolfridge was doing
some harm right now in link
ing the company with his own
grandiose schemes. Two weeks
ago he would have been afraid
to openly oppose the man; but
the last board meeting had
materially Titered tne situa
tion.
He turned bad: to his desk
and drew his chair before a
typewriter. A little later he
handed the following letter to
the fcarl:
My Dear Governor:
In order to put our recent
conversation on record I wish
to say that this company does
not contemplate building a
river. We did at one time in
vestigate the possibilities of
that river, but at a revent
board meeting, held November
14th of this year, wholly aban
doned the idea. All our appli
cations for rights were sub
sequently withdrawn.
It has come to our attention
that certain individuals are
advertising land in that dis
trict with the assurance that
we will build a dam. In tht
connection I wish to say tha.
a letter was forwarded to Mr.
William Wells Woolfridge on
November fourteenth, by his
personal agent, Mr. Alexander
Hunnewell, in which we dis
tinctly stated that no dam
was to be built.
I desire to place this infor
mation before you that this
company be held wholly free
from any unfortunate specu
lation.
Very truly .
“Thank you,’’ said Gay,
folding the letter into her
purse. “I am sure you will
never regret having expressed
this in written form.”
T. Q. Bangor smiled, some
what grimly. “Had I felt I
might later regret it, the letter
certainly wouldn’t heve been
written. Give the governor
my personal regards and tell
him I hope he wins his battle.
However, that’s really a use
less hope. He always does win.
I have been charmed, Miss
Thatcher—”
Gay left the Power Build
ing and walked swiftly to a
less imposing structure farther
down the street. She climbed
one flight of stairs and entered
a door labeled: “Woolfridge
Investment Co. Alex. Hunne
well. Mgr.” Hunnewell was in,
his feet tipped up on a desk,
cracking nuts between his
teeth, and looking'very bored.
He made no effort to rise
when he saw his visitor. There
was, in fact, a sudden and
faint insolence in his welcome.
“How do. This is a pleasure.
Brightens a dull day. What
can I do for you?”
He was a flat, lifeless sort
of a creature. In the presence
of Woolfridge he trembled and
was afraid of the very breath
he drew. Being that type of
man it was natural that he j
should swing to the other ex- j
treme when relieved of his
superior’s presence and be
come a petty tyrant; inevi
vitable that he should exercise
a back-biting meanness under
the protection of a power that
was not his own.
“My name is—”
“I know it very well,” broke
in Hunnewell. “Fact is, I know
considerably more about* you
than you’d imagine.”
“How very interesting.”
murmured the girl, recogniz
ing his quality. “I won’t take
up your time, then, with un
necessary information. I
noticed you have been adver
tising for homesteaders down ;
in Roaring Horse. Of course, j
I could find out by going di
rectly to newspapers, but per
haps you’ll tell me when you
first issued the ads.”
“Mailed out of here the
sixteenth,” was Hunnewell’s
prompt answer. He seemed to
wish to emphasize his im
portance. "I work rapidly. But
if you're interested in land
don’t let the date bother you. ;
Still plenty of it open. Sug
gest you go down to see Mr.
Woolfridge.”
The girl was hardly abk o 1
suppress the mingled anger '
and satisfaction. “In other
words you got up the ads, with
all the facts contained in
them, two days after you were
informed there was to be no
dam built in the Roaring I
Horse.’’__ |

IRRADIATED FEEDS.
I While ao one has yet been able
to lind just what is the real nature
of vitamin D, it now is agreed by
investigators in nutrition that the
precursor or carrier of vitamin D is
.rgosterol, and it is the quantity of
irradiated ergosterol in a foodstuff
that determines its potency in vita
min D. One college of agriculture
has had under way many studies of
the distribution, preparation, ac- j
livation, and phys.ological proper- j
ies of ergo-terol. Yeasts and molds
have been found to be particularly
rich in this important substance and
are readily made potent in vitamin
D by irradiation. Over 40 different ,
yeasts and molds have been tested
to learn if any were more valuable
in this connection than others, but
little variation has been found, ex
cept for three strains which were
unusually low in their content of
crgosterol. When abnormally large I
quantities of irradiated ergosterol
ire led animals over periods of time,
serious disturbances follow and even
death may result. The tolerance of
the animal body to vitamin D is
very great, however, and it has been i
found that no ill effects follow the
daily consumption of an amount
1,000 times greater than the mini
mum quantity required in the ra
tion to promote calcium deposition
in the bones and to cure rickets. It j
is when the amount fed is 10,000
times the normal quantity that in
jurious effects occur. In these cases
extraordinary calcium depositions
take place in the soft tissues of the
body, particularly the kidneys. All
ordinary foodstuffs carry such a i
limited amount of ergosterol it is
impossible for animals or man to
consume quantities that will be in
jurious even when these foods have
been irradiated. It is with the rare
ergosterol compounds isolated in the
chemist's laboratory that tho^e is
danger of harm when taken in ab
normally large daily amounts. These
rare ergostercl compounds are ex
ceedingly jxitent when they have j
been irradiated, being 75,000 or
more times as effective as cod liv
er oil which is the most potent com
mon source of vitamin D. There is
as mu **; vitamin D in one ounce
of irradiated ergosterol as there is
in three and one half tons of the
best rad liver oil. Imporant facts
have been learned regarding the
j commercial irradiation of common
foodstuffs, particularly cereals. All
ceryal products such as rolled oats,
farina, corn meal and corn flakes .
were found to be especially suscen- :
tible to activation by ultra-violet I
light treatment, and become potent :
with vitamin D when irradiated for |
I even a fraction of a second at a dis- i
! tance of nine inches from artificial
sources of ultra-violet light.
FEED ON WIRE
The use of wire floors in brooding
and for sun porches has developed
in an effort to grow healthy chicks,
tree from coceidiosis and worm in
festation. Wire floored sun porches
are very desirable. There is a ques
tion, however, as to whether floor
ing over the inside of the colony
house with wire is economical and
1 practical. It is true, however, that
j small, portable, wire-covered piat
forms, to be located in the brooder
houses and on which the.water re
ceptacles and mash-hoppers can be
placed, are very much worth while.
They mav be built about two feed
wide and three or four feet long, on
frames of one bv three or one Dy
four-inch scantling placed on edge,
and the top covered with half-mch
mesh cellarwindow wire. If the wa
ter receptacles and mash hoppers
are placed on such platforms the
result is clean feeding, for the
chicks cannot eat mash which has
spilled from the hopper into the
litter, nor can they eat or scratch
in the wet litter which is often
found around the arinKing recep
tacle. The platforms can be placed
in such positions as to help prevent
the crowding of chicks In the cor
ners. _
USE LIME FREELY
Foultrymen are rapidly finding
that the liberal use of lime about
the poultry plant is very desirable.
Limestone, ground ns fine as it is
possible to obtain it, can be scat
tered on the drop^mgs boards aft
er each cleaning, as a deodorant and
drying agent. Hvdrafed, or burned,
lime should never be used, nor
should it be allowed to ccme in con
tact with tli* droppings, because it.
liberates nitrogen. Ground lime
stone can be scattered on the litter
in the nests, on moist spots adja
cent. to water fountains, and on the
floor after cleaning, when new litter
is added. Probably the greatest ad
vantage from the use of lime is
realized from heavy applications on
poultry yards and brooding and ;
rearing ranges. A ton of ground J
limestone applied every year or two.
as these ranges are plowed and [
seeded, will keep the soil sweet, j
tend to act as a cleansing and dism- j
l'ectant agent, and will induce a I
maximum growth of legumes, such ]
as clover and alfalfa, which crops
make the finest, green feeds.
SEEDING ALFALFA
It has been found quite beneficial
in seeding alfalfa on land underlaid
with hsrdpan to use one-third
white blossom sweet clover seed
with the alfa'/jt r-ed. The white
clover roots are much stronger
growers and will penetrate the harci
pan more readily than will the ali
alfa roots. The sweet clover rcots
jtre fleshy and w'h ;i they decay they
leave much organic matter in the
soil as well as holes in tv.3 hardpan.
There will be little If any sweet
clover left after the first cutting the |
second season. In the meantime the
yield of hay or pasturage has been
increased quite materially, since the
alfalfa does not come into a full
yield till about the third season. II j
the field is used for hog pasture it
COMBINE HARVESTING
Apparently the rate of harvesting
v.ith combine on 110 Minnesota
farms averages 2.1 acres per hour
with eight-foot machine, 2.5 acres
with 10-ioot machine. 3.1 acres wun
12-foot machine. Cost of cutting

BEES FOR BK.CER CROPS
May is a glorious month in th»
northern prairie states. It is apple
and plum blossom time and the
fragrance of these flowers fills the
air. This is supposed to bring a stir
of romance to the neart oi youth
and to bolster the courage of hard
headed fruit growers with hope for
large and profitable crops. These
same Iruit growers will great en
hance their chances tor a promao:®
crop if they will remember that all
the plums which grow in this region
are self-sterile and require cross
pollination before they can set a
single fruit. It should also be re
membered that most apples, under
exceptionally favorable conditions at
blossom time, will generally be able
to set a limited number of fruits
when self-pollinated, but they will
rarely, if ever, set a commercial
crop unless cross pollination from
other varieties is made possible. This
cross pollination can be effected
only by means of insects, and it has
been well demonstrated that the
common honey bae is by long odds
the most important pollinating
agent. Every fruit, grower should see
to it that from one to two colonies
of bees per rare are available in a
location "close by the orchard to per
form this most important act oi
cross pollination.
FARM PATENTS
TOO l'EW CHICKS
Surveys made a*ter the lirst twro
months of the Hatching season in
dicate a very material reduction in
the number of chicks to be brooded
this spring. This is no doubt due to
the very low price of eggs, which
caused many poultrymen to fear
that baby chicks will be unprofit
able. As a matter of fact, the re
verse is likely to be the case. When
ever economic conditions bring ex
tremely low prices, these are fol
which promptly results in a reduced
supply of eggs and poultry—and
higher prices. As this is written
there has been a reduction in early
chicks hatched of from 2i to 30 per
cent as compared with recent sea
sons. Unless a substantial part of
this reduction is made up by in
creased hatches of late chicks, we
may be faced next fall with a re
duced pullet population, material
reduction in egg yield, and exces
sively high prices. Too few chicks
this spring also will result in a
shortage of spring chickens, which
are in demand for frying and roast
ing purposes throughout the sum
mer and fall, causing too high
prices for these commodities. An
appreciation of these factors should
encourage a heavier hatch of lat®
chicks. _ j
early pullets pay rest
It is generally considered that
early maturing pullets are the high
producing hens. Maturity and date
of first egg has been the subject ol
much study by experiment stations.
Conclusions from their work are:
Pullets that laid their first eggs
early in their laying year were of
earlier sexual maturity than those
laying later. The time the first eg*
was laid had a close association with
winter egg production. Birds that
laid Ureir eggs in September had the
highest winter egg production. Pul
lets tnat laid first egg from Sep
tember 6 to December 13, laid 50
or more eggs in winter. There was
a slight association between date of
first egg and the rate of spring pro
duction. Pullets laying first egg in
December laid greatest number of
spring eggs. Poorest spring produc
tion was 58.4 eggs, the average of
the birds that produced first egg
in March. Recora® snowed a close
association between date of first
egg and total annual production.
Pullets that laid first eggs in Oc
tober laid largest total for year. A
production ol 200 or more eggs was
attained by those pullets that laid
first egg September 6 to December
13. i
ABUSE OF FALL PIGS f
Feeding trials indicate that it la
practical and easily possible to get
as rapd gains through the winter
on fall pigs as through the summer
on spring pigs. To do this, how
ever, requires more skill in feeding.
By skill in feeding we mean mainly
supplying the right kinds of feed.
A great many swine producers oo
not get as good gains on fall piga
as on spring pigs because fhey^ do
not feed rations that are complete
enough in protein, mineral, ana
vitamin supply. The result of this
is that pigs become unthii.ty and
tend to develop rickets. Excellent
results are had from gram and
grass during the summer but there
is no grass during the winter, and
jrain is not enough for the com
plete nutrition of young growing
nigs. Hence a good many farmers
are disturbed about their fall pig
‘•hotes along about tris time of year.
Should these pigs, that have been
unintentionally abused during the
winter survive until good grass is
ready they will usually curl up
[heir tails and lo their best to make
up for lost time.
