CHAPTKR VII.
David Klden smoked hla after-dinner
cigar In hla bachelor quarters. The
years had been good to the firm of
Conward A Klden; good far beyond
the wlldnesa of their first dreams. The
transaction of the section honght from
the English absentee had been hut the
beginning of bigger and more during
adventures. Conward, In thnt first
wild prophecy of his, had spoken of a
city of a quarter of a million people;
already more Iota had been sold thiin
could he occupied by four times thnt
population.
Dave hnd often asked himself where
It all would end.
The firm,of Conward A Klden hnd
profited not the least In the wild years
of gain-getting. Their tnahognny-fin-
lahed first-floor quartan were the last
word In office luxuriance. Cotiwnrd'a

Conditions also affect Incubation so
that In some caaea a hatch may run
one or two days over, due to an acci-
dent during Incubation or to a low
temperature throughout that period,
while, on the other hand, the period
may end earlier. If through any ac-
