CHAPTER XII—Continued.
He was abashed, confounded: and at
the bottom of the tangle of conflict-
ing emotions there was a dull glow of
resentment.
"1 did it. as 1 say—for love of yon.
Amy: and now I have done a much
more serious thing—for the same rea
son."
"Tell tne," she said, with a quick
catching of her breath.
"Your brother put a weapon in my
hands, and 1 have used it. There was
one sure way to make the railroad
people get busy again. They couldn't
■It still If all the world were trying
to get to a new gold camp, to which
they already have a line graded and
nearly ready for the steel."
"And you have—?"
He nodded.
She had retreated to take her for-
mer position, leaning against the porch
post, with her bands behind her. and
she had grown suddenly calm.
"Don't look at me that way. Amy."
he pleaded. "You wanted something—
and I wanted to give It to you. That
was all—as God hears me. It was all.
You believe that. Amy? It will break
my heart If you don't believe it."
She shook her head sadly.
tween them: and. as before. It was the
man who broke it.
"You lead me to a conclusion that
1 refuse to accept. Amy; that I am
dominated by some Influence which Is
stronger than love."
"You are," she said simply.
"What la It?"
"Environment."
"That ts the most humiliating thing
you have said today."
"No. However much others may be
deluded. I am sure you can see Mirap-
olls in Its true light. The very air you
breathe down there is poisoned The
taint is In the blood. Mr. Cortwrighl
and bis fellow bandits call It the 'Mir-
acle City,' but the poor wretchea on
lower Chigringo avenue laugh and call
It Gomorrah."
"Just at the present moment It is a
city of fools—and I, the king of the
fools, have made It so." said Broulllard
gloomily. From bis seat on the porch
step be was frowning down upon the
outspread scene In the valley, where
the triangular shadow of Jack's moun-
tain was creeping slowly across to the
foot of Chigringo Something In the
measured eye-sweep brought him to
bis feet with a hasty exclamation:
"Good Lord! the machinery has
•topped! They've knocked off work
on the dam!"
"Why not?" she said. "Did you imag-
ine that your workmen were any
less buiran than other people?"
"No, of course not; that Is. 1—but
I haven't any time to go Into that
now. Is your telephone line up here
In operation?"
"No, not yet."
"Then I must burn the wind getting
down there. By Jove! if those un-
speakable idiots have gone off and
left the concrete to freeze wherever It
happens to be—"
"One moment," she replied, while ha
was reaching for his hat. "This new
madness will have spent Itself by
nightfall—it must. And yet 1 have
the queerest shivery feeling, as if
something dreadful were going to hap-
pen. Can't you contrive to get word
to me, some way—after It is all
over? I wish you could."
"I'll do It." he promised. "I'll come
up after supper."
"No, don't do that. You will be
needed at the dam. There will be
trouble, with a town full of disappoint
ed gold-hunters, and liquor to be had.

Broulllard was silent for a little
space, and when he spoke again It waa
as one awaking from a troubled dream.
-I know. There Is a change. I am

shift concrete handlers as fast as they
materialized, squadding them and driv-
ing the work of wreck clearing for
every man and minute they could
command, with Gassman and Bender
to act as foremen.
For himself. Broulllard reserved the
most hazardous of the recruiting expe-
dients. The lower avenue had already
become a double rank of dives, salt
and gambling dens; here, if anywhere
in the craze-depopulated town, men
might be found, and for once In their
llvee they should be shown how other
men earned money.
"Shove It for every minute of day-
light there Is left." he ordered, «nap

while he was filling the magazine of
hia Winchester. "Paddle what mate-
rial there Is In the forms, dump the

clean out the mixers; that's the slse

Jump to It. Orizsy, you and Handley
and we'll try to flU your gangs the
beet way we can."
Strange things and strenuous hap-
pened In the lower end of the Ni-
quoia valley during the few hours of
daylight that remained. First, climb-
ing nervously to the puddlers' staging
on the great dam. and led by Poodles
himself, came the Metropole quota of
waiters, scullions, cooks and porters,
willing but skill-less. After them, and
herded by Leshlngton. came a dapper
crew of office men and clerks to snatch
up the puddling spades and to soil
their clothes and blister their hands
in emptying the concrete buckets. Mr.
Cortwrlght's contribution came as
dropping fire; a handful of tree-cutters
from the sawmills, a few picked up
here and there In the deserted town,
an automobile load of power-company
employees shot down from the gener-
ating plant at racing speed.
Last, but by no means least in num-
bers. came the human derelicts from
the lower avenue; men In frock-coats;
men In cowboy jeans taking it as a
huge joke; men with foreign faces and
lowering brows and with strange oaths
In tbeir mouths; and behind the mot-
ley throng and marshaling it to a
quickstep. Broulllard and Tig Smith.
It was hot work and heavy for the
strangely assarted crew, and Broull-
lard drove it to the limit, bribing, ca-
joling or threatening, patrolling the
long line of staging to encourage the
awkward puddlers. or side-stepping
swiftly to the mixers to bring back a
detachment of skulkers at the rifle's
muzzle. And by nightfall the thing
was done, with the loss reduced to a
minimum and the makeshift laborers
dropping out in squads and groups,
some laughing, some swearing, and all
too weary and toll-worn to be danger-
ous. "Give us a Job if we come back
tomorrow. Mr. Broulllard?" called out
the king of the gamblers In passing;
and the cry was taken up by others In
grim Jest.
"Thus endeth the first lesson." said
Grislow. when the engineering corps
was reassembling at the headquarters
preparatory to a descent upon the sup-
per table. But Broulllard was dumb
and haggard, and when he bad hung
his rifle and cartridge belt on their
pegs behind his desk, he went out,
leaving unbroken the silence which
had greeted his entrance.
"The boss is taking It pretty hard."
said young Griffith to no one In par-
ticular. and it was Leshlngton who
took him up savagely and Invited htm

"The least said Is the soonest

the first assistant's rebuke took. "You
take my advice and don't mesa or
meddle with the chief until he's had
time to work this thing out of his sys-
tem."
The shoots of the mob were ringtng
in BroulUard's ears when be strode de-
jectedly into the deserted maproom.
and the cries w«-re rising with a new
note and In fresher frenzies a little
later when Grislow came in. The hy-
drt'grapber's blue eyes were hard and
his voice had a tang of bitterness In
it when he said: "Well, you've done It.
Three men have Just come in with a
double handful of nuggets, and Mirap-
olls makes Its bow to the world at
large as the newest and richest of
the gold camps "
Bnulllard had been humped over
bis desk, and be sprang up with a cry
like that of a wounded animal.
"It can't be; Grizzy. I tell you tt
cant be! Steve Massingale planted
that gold that 1 washed out—played
me for a fool to get me to work for
the railroad. I didn't know It until—
until—"
"t'ntll Amy Massingale told you
about It this afternoon." cut In the
mapinaker shrewdly. "That's 'J right

hours. But you know the big bend op-
posite the Quadjenal hills; the river
has built that bend out of Its own
washings, and the bulletin over at the
Spotlight office says that the entire
peninsula hi one huge bank of gold-
bearing gravel "
At the word Broulllard ataggeret as
from the Impact of a bullet Then he
crossed th« room slowly, groping bla
way toward the peg where the coat be
had worn In the afternoon was hang-
ing Grislow saw htm take something
out of the pocket of the coat, and the
next moment the door opened and
closed and the bydrographer was left
alone.
Having been planned before there
was a city to bo considered, the gov-
ernment buildings Inclosed three sides
of a small open square, facing toward
the great dam. In the middle of this
open space Broulllard stopped, kicked
up a little mound of earth, and stood
the two paper cylinders on It. side by
side.
The tempered glow from the city
electrics made a soft twilight In the
little plaza; be could see the wrapper
colors of the two signal fires quite
well. A sharp attack of Indecision had
prompted him to place both of them on
the tiny mound With the match In
his hand, be was still undecided. Amy
Masslngale's words came back to him
as be hesitated "Light the blue one
when you are ready to aend me my
meaaaga of cheer . . ." On the Upe
of another woman the words might
have taken a materialistic meaning;
enthusiasm came to answer him. Some
where on the avenue a band was play-
ing; men were shouting themselves
hoarse In excitement, and above the
shouting came the staccato crackllna
of pistols and guns flred In air.
He struck the match and stooped
over the blue cylinder "This Is youi
message of cheer, whether you take 11
that way or not." he went on, whisper
Ing again to the silent void. But when
the fuse of the blue light was fairly
fizzing he suddenly pinched It out and
held the match to the other,
e • • e a e
t'p on the high bench of the great
mountain Amy Massingale was pacing
to and fro on the puncheon-floored
porch of the home cabin. The girl's
gaze never wandered far from a dark
area in the western edge of the town—
the semicircle cut Into the dotting
lights and marking the site of the gov
ernment reservation. It was when ■
tiny stream of sparks shot up In th«
center of the dark area that she
stopped and held her breath. Then,
w-hen a blinding flare followed to prick
out the headquarters, the commissary
and the mess house, she sank In a d
spalring little heap on the floor, with
her face hidden In her hands and the
quick sobs shaking her like an ague
cblll. It was BroulUard's signal, but
It was not the signal of peace; tt was
the blood-red of revolution and strife
and turmoil.

its opening for business by running a
mammoth excursion from the cities oi

Busy as It was, the city took time
to celebrate fittingly the event which
linked It to the outer world. By proo
lamation Mayor Cortwrlght declared a
holiday. There were lavish display*
of bunting, an Impromptu trades p
rade, speeches from the plaza band

suspend work on the great dam during
the day of triumphs, and the recla-

at any time since the beginning of the
undertaking, went to swell the crowds
on Chigringo avenue. ^Mr. Cortwrlght
had been inexorable, and Broulllard
