On tho day following the hindering
concrete fnlluro nt tho dam, Smith gnvo
Rtlll more color to tho charges of IiIh
detractors In tho business field. Those
whose affairs brought them In contact
with lilm found n man maidenly grown
yenra older and harder, boody and
harshly dictatorial, not to nay qunr
relsomo; a man who seemed to lmvo
parted, In tho Bhort space of n slngta
night, with all of the humanizing affa
bilities which he hud shown to such n
marked degree In the reorganizing and
rollnanclng of the Irrigation project.
"We've got our young Napoleon of
flnanco on tic toboggan slide, at last,"
was tho way In which Mr. Crawford
Stanton phrused It for the bejewoled
lady at their luncheon In the Hophru
cafo. "Klnzle Is about to throw him
orcr, und all this talk about botch
work on tho dam Is getting his goat.
Thoy're telling it around town this
morning that you can't get near lilm,
without risking a light. Old Man nucle
us went up to his ofllec In behalf of
a bunch of the scared stockholders,
und Smith abused him first and then
threw him out bodily hurt him pretty
savagely, they say."
Tho largo lady's accurately penciled
eyebrows went up In mild surprise.
"Bad temper?" she queried.
"Bad temper, or an ncuto attack of
tattlcltis;' you can take your choice.
I supposo he hasn't, by any chance,
quarreled with Miss IMchlunder over
night? or has he?"
The fat lady shook her diamonds.
"I should say not. They were at lunch
eon together In the ladles' ordinary as
I came down a few minutes ago."
Thus the partner of Crawford Stan
ton' joys and sorrows. But an Invis
ible onlooker In tho small 'dining room
above-stairs might havo drawn other
conclusions. Smith and tho daughter
of the Lawrcnccvlllo magnate had a
small table to themselves, and If tho
talk wcro not precisely quarrelsome,
It leaned that way at times.
"I hare never seen you qulto so bru
tal and Impossible as you are today,
Montague. You don't seem Uko the
lame man. Are you going to reconsider
and take me out to the Baldwin ranch
this afternoon?"
"And let you parade me there as
four latest acquisition? never In this
world I"
"More brutality. Positively you nro
getting me Into a frame of mind In
which Tucker JIbbey will seem Uko a
blessed relief. Whatever do you sup
poso has becorao of Tucker?"
"How should I know?"
"If he had como In last night, and
you had met him as I asked you to
1b any such heavenly temper as you
are Indulging now, I might think you
had murdered him."
It was doubtless by sheer accident
that Smith, reaching at the momont
Cor tho salad oil, overturned his water
glass. But the small accident by no
means accounted for the sudden gray
ing of his faco under the Tlmanyonl
Wind tan for that or for tho shaking
hands with which he seconded tho wait
er's anxious efforts to repair the dam
age. When they were alone again, tho
momentary trepidation had given pJuco
to a renewed hardness that lent a
biting rasp to his voice.
"Klntle, the suspicious old banker
that I've been telling yon about, Is de
termined to run mo down," he said,
changing the subject abruptly. 'Tve
got It pretty straight that ho Is plan
ning to send one of his clerks to the

'Does this Mr. Klnzlo know where

"He doesn't; that's tho only hitch."
Kiss Verda's smile across the little
able was level-eyed.
"I could bo lots of help to you, Mon

you'd only let me," she suggested.
Til fight for my own hand," was the
grating rejoinder. "I can assure you,
right now, that Klnzle's messenger will
never reach your father alive."
"Oohl" Bhuddered the beauty, with a
little lift of the rounded shoulders.
"How utterly and hopelessly primitive 1

Smith was frowning thoughtfully
when ho led her to the elevator alcove.

he muttered, half to himself.

then: "To think that you wcro onco

CHAPTER XVII.
The Megalomaniac.
Sixty-odd hours before tho explrntlon
of the time limit, Hartley Williams,
lean and somber-eyed from tho strain
he had bee under for many days und
nights, saw tho president's gray road
ster plowing its way through tho mesa
sand on tho approach to the construc
tion camp, und wus glud.
"I've been trying all the morning to
squeeze out time to get Into town," he
told Bnldwln, when the roadster camo
to a stand In front of tho shack com
mlssnry. ."Where Is Smith?"
Tho coloned threw up his hand In a
gesture expressive of completo detach
ment. "Don't ask mc. John has gone plumb
loco In theso last two or thrco duys.
It's as much as your llfo's worth to
ask him whero he has been or where
ho Is going or what he means to do
next."
"Ho hnsn't stopped fighting?" said
tho engineer, half aghast at the bare
possibility.
"Oh, no; ho is at It harder than
ever going it Just "a shaving too
strong, is what I'd tell him, If he'd let
mo get near enough to shout at him.
Last night, after the theater, ho went
around to the Herald ofUco, and the
way they're talking It on tho street,
he was aiming to shoot up tho whole
newspaper Joint If Mark Allen, tho edi
tor, wouldn't take back a bunch of the
lies he's been publishing about tho
High Line. It wound up In a scrap
of some sort. I don't know who got
the worst of it, but John Isn't crippled
up nny, to speak of, this morning only
In his temper."
Williams shook his head. "I guess
we'll havo to stand for the grouch, If
he'll only keep busy. He has tho hot
end of It Wo couldn't very well get
along without him, right now, colonel.
With all duo respect to you and tho
members of tho board, he Is tho fight
ing backbone of tho whole outfit."
"Ho Is that," was Baldwin's ready
admission. "Ho Is just what we've
been calling him from tho first, Bart-
ley a three-ply, dycd-In-the-wool won
der In his specialty. Ho Is fighting
now like a man In tho last ditch, and
I bellevo he thinks he is In tho last
ditch."
"It will be only two days more,"
said tho engineer, saying It as one who
has been counting tho days In keen
anxiety. And then: "StUUngs told mo
yesterday that we're not going to get
an extension of tho tlmp limit from tho
stato authorities."
"No; that llttlo flro went out, blink,
just as Smith said It would. Stanton's
backers havo the political pull In tho
stato as well as In Washington. They're
going to hold us to tho letter of tho
law."
"Let 'era do it We'll win out yet
If wo don't run up against ono or both
of tho only two things I'm afraid of
now: high wator, or rtfe railroad call
down." "Tho railroad grab? Havo you heard
anything moro about that?"
"That Is what I was trying to get to
town for; to talk tho railroad business
over with you and StUUngs and Smith.
They've had a gang here this morn
ing a bunch of engineers, with a
stranger, who gavo his name ns Hal
lowcll, In charge. They claimed to be
verifying tho old survey, nnd Hallowell
notified me formally that our dam stood
tortruck yesterday, nnd hnd them sent
out here?"
"Not"
"He did and told mo to say nothing
about It It seems that ho ordered
them somo tlmo ago from nn arms
agency In Denver. That fellow foresees
everything, colonel."
Dexter Baldwin had climbed Into his
car and was making ready to turn it
for tho run back to town.
"If I wcro you, Bartloy, I believe Pd

word among as many of tho men ns
you think you can trust with rifles In
their hands. I'll tell Smith and Bob
StUUngs."
Colonel Bnldwln saw tho company's
nttornoy, us soon ns ho reached Brew
ster. But Smith was not In his ofllce,
and no ono seemed to know whero ho
had gone. Tho colonel shrewdly sus
pected that Miss Itlchlandcr was mak

time, and he sntd ns much to Starhuck,

quarters and proceeded to roll the In
evitable cigarette.
"Not any, this tlmo, colonel," was
Slurbuck's rebuttal. "You've missed It
by u whole row of apple trees. Miss
Rich-dollars Is over nt the hotel. I saw
her at luncheon with the Stnntons less
than an hour ago."
"You haven't seen Smith, have you?"
"No ; but I know where he Is. He's
out In the country, somewhere, taking
the air in Dick Maxwell's runabout. I
wanted to borrow tho wagon myself,
nnd Dick told me he had already lent
It to Smith."
"We're needing him," snld tho colonel
shortly, nnd then he told Stnrbuck of
the newest development In tho paper
rallrond scheme of obstruction.
From that the talk drifted to n dis
cussion of Klnzle's latest attitude. By
this time there had been an alarming
number of stock sales by small hold
ers, all of them handled by tho Brew
ster City National, and It was plainly
evident that Klnzle hnd finally gone
over to the enemy nnd was buying ns
cheaply ns possible for some unnamed
customer.
"If they keep It up, they can wear
us out by littles, and we'll break our
necks finishing the dum and snvlng
the franchise only to turn It over to
them In tho round-up," snld the colonel
dejectedly. "I've talked until I'm
hoarse, but you can't talk marrow Into
an empty bone, Billy. I used to think
wo had a fairly good bunch of men In
with us, but In these last few days
I've been changing my mind at a fox
trot."

a night watch with Williams against
a possible surprise by the right-of-way
claimants ; and StUUngs, who had been
petitioning for an injunction, cume up
to report progress just as Buldwln was
locking his desk.
"Tho Judge has taken it under ad
visement, but that Is as far as he
would go today," said tho lawyer. "It's
simply a bold steal, of course. I'm
sworn to uphold tho law, and I can't
counsel armed resistance. Just the
same, I hope Williams has his nerve
with him."
"He has; and I haven't lost mine
yet," snapped a voice at the door ; and
Smith camo In, dust-covered nnU swar
thy with the grime of tho wind-swept
grasslands. Out of tho pocket of his
driving coat ho drew a thick packet of
papers and slapped it upon Uie drawn
down curtain of Baldwin's desk.
"There you are," ho went on gratingly.
"Now you can tell Mr. David Klnzle
to go straight to blazes with his stock
pinching, and tho moro money ho puts
Into It, tho more somebody's going to
losel"
"John t what have you dono?" de
manded Baldwin.
"I'vo shown 'em what It means to
go up against a winner I" was the half
triumphant, half-savago exultation. "I
havo put a crimp In that fence-climbing
banker of yours that will last him
for ono whllo I I'vo secured thirty-day
options, at par, on enough High Line
stock to swing a clear majority If
Klnzlo should buy up every other share
there is outstanding. It has taken me
all day, and I've driven a thousand
miles, but tho thing is done."
"But, John I If anything should
happen, and wo'd havo to make good
on those options, ... It would
break tho last man of us I"
"Wo'ro not going to let things hnpj

"Easy, John; hold up a minute I" the
colonel broke In soothingly; and StU
Ungs, moro practical, closed the office
door silently and put his back against
It "Tills is a pretty sudden country,
but thcro is somo sort of a limit, you
know," the big Mlssourlan went on.
"What's your Idea In going to Stan
ton?" "I mean to gtvo lilm twelve hours In
which to pack his trunk and get out
of Brewster nnd tho Tlmanyonl. If ho
hasn't disappeared by tomorrow morn
ing" StUUngs was slgnnllng In dumb
show to Bnldwln. He hnd quietly
opened tho door nnd was crooking his
finger nnd making signs over his shoul
der toward tho corridor. Baldwin saw
whnt was wanted, and immediately
shot his desk cover open und turned on
the lights.
"That last lot of steel and cement
vouchers wus mndo out yesterday,
John," he sulci, slipping tho rubber
baud from u flic of papers In the desk.
"If you'll take tlmo to sit down here
and run 'cm over, and put you- name
on 'cm, I'll hold Martin long enough to
let him get tho checks in tonight's
mall. I'll bo back after a little."
Smith dragged up the president's
big swivel chair and planted himself
In It, nnd nn instant later ho was lost
to everything save the columns of fig
ures on the vouchers. StUUngs had
let himself, out, nnd when the colonel
followed him, the lawyer cautiously
closed the door of the private ofllce,
and edged Baldwin Into the corridor.
"We've mighty neur got a madman
to deal with In there, colonel," he
whispered, when the two were out of
earshot. "I wus watching his eyes
when ho snld that about Stanton, and
they fairly blazed. He's going to kill
somebody, If we don't look out."
Baldwin was shaking his head du
biously. "He's acting like a locoed thorough-
bred that's gone outlaw," he said. "Do
you reckon he's sure-enough crazy,
Bob?"
"Only In the murder nerve. This
deal with the options shows that he's
all to the good on the business side.
Thnt was the smoothest trick that's
been turned In nny stage of this dodg
ing fight with the big fellows. It sim
ply knocks Klnzle's rat-gnawing game
dead. If there were only somebody
who could calm Smith down a little
and bring him to reason somebody
near enough to him to dig down under
his shell and get at the real man that
used to be there when he first took
hold with us" '
"A woman?" queried Baldwin, frown
ing disapproval In anticipation of what
StUUngs might be going to suggest
A woman for choice, of course. I
was thinking of this young woman
over at the Hophra House; anybody
can see with half an eye that she has
a pretty good grip on him. Suppose
we go across the street and give her
an invitation to come and do a little
missionary work on Smith. She looks
level-headed and sensible enough to
take It the way It's meant"
StUUngs was a lawyer and had no
scruples, but tho colonel had them In
just proportion to his Southern birth
and breeding.
"I don't Uko to drag a woman Into
It, any way or shape, Bob," he pro
tested ; and he would have gone on to
say that he had good reason to be
lieve that Miss Richlander's Influence
over Smith might not be at all of the
meliorating sort, but StUUngs cut him
short
"There need be no 'dragging.' The
young woman doubtless knows the
business situation; she evidently
knows Smith a whole lot better than
we do. It's a chance, and wo'd better
try it. He's good for half an hour or
so with those vouchers."

of the mother by an agent of the Chil

Tho only Information which tho boy
could give when found on June 21
was that his name was "Jimmy," and
that he Is a "very, very good boy."
"Did you make any effort to find
this boy?" Magistrate Doyle asked
the mother.
"I looked about the neighborhood
where I lost him," she said. It was
her story that she lost him In a crowd
and did not abandon him.
"A dumb animal would have done
more than that," exclaimed the mag
istrate. "A dumb beast would have
looked everywhere for her lost. Here
is a cripple that requires a mother's
care and love, nud yen made no ef

"I did all I could," sobbed the
woman.
Upon testimony, however, that when
first shown the photograph of tho

BIG CROPS III
WESTERN Mil
Good Yields of Wheat, Splendid
Production of Pork, Beef.
Mutton and Wool.
' The latest reports give an assur
l.nco of good grain crops throughout
most of Western Canada, where tho
wheat, oats and barley are now being
harvested, about ten days earlier than
last year. Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Albertn nro all "doing their bit"
In a noblo way towards furnishing
food for tho allies.
While the total yield of wheat will
not be as heavy as In 1015, there
aro Indications thnt it will bo an aver
age crop In most of tho districts.
A letter received at the St Paul olllce
of the Cnnndlan Government, from a
former near Delia, Alberta, says har
vest In thnt district Is ono month
earlier than last year, nis wheat crop
Is estimated nt 35 bushels per acre,
while some of his neighbors will hnvo
more. The average In the district will
be nbout .10 bushels per acre.' Now,
with tho price of wheat In tho neigh
borhood of ?2 per bushel, It Is safe to
Bny that there will be very few farm
ers but will be able to bank from for
ty to fifty dollars per acre after pay
ing nil expenses of seeding, harvest
ing nnd threshing, as well as taxes.
The price of land In this district In
from $25 to $30 per acre. What may
bo snld of this district will apply to
almost any other In Manitoba, Sns
kntchewnn or Albertn. Many farmers
havo gone to Western Cnnnda from
tho United Stntes In tho pnst three or
four years, who having purchnscd
lands, bad tho pleasure of completing
the payments before they were due.
They hnve mnde tho money out of
their crops during the pnst couple of
years, and If they are as successful In
tho future as In the past they will
hnve put themselves and their famUles
beyond all possibility of lack' of
money for tho rest of their lives. It
Is not only In wheat that the farmers
of Western Canada aro making money.
Their hogs hnve brought them wealth,
and hogs nro easy to raise there bar
ley Is plentiful and grass abundant,
nnd the climate Just the kind that
hogs glory in. The price is good nnd
likely to remain so for a long time.
A few days since n farmer from
Daysland, Alberta, shipped a carload
of hogs to the St. Paul market, nnd
got a higher price than was ever be
fore paid on that market. Two mil
lion three hundred and seventy-seven
thousand two hundred and fifty dol
lars was . received at Winnipeg for
Western hogs during the first six
months of this year. 181,575 hogs
were sold at an average price of $15
per cwt, and had an average weight
of 200 pounds each. The raising of
hogs is a profitable and continually
growing Industry of Western Canada,
nnd this class of stock Is raised as
economically here as anywhere on the
North American continent There Is
practically no hog disease, and Im
mense quantities of food can be pro
duced cheaply.
It has been told for years that the
grasses of Western Canada supply to
both beef and milk producers the nu
tritive properties thnt go to the devel
opment of both branches. The stories
.that are now being published by
dairymen and beef cattle men verify
all the predictions that have ever been
made regarding the country's Im
portance In the raising of both beef
and dairy cattle. The sheep Industry
is developing rapidly. At a sale at
Calgary 151,453 pounds of wool were
dispused of at sixty cents a pound.
At a sale at Edmonton 00,000 pounds
were sold at even better prices than
those paid at Calgary. The total clip
this season will probably approximate
two million pounds. Many reports
are to hand showing from six to eight
pounds per fleece. 85 carloads were
sent to the Toronto market alone,
