Simms threw the brim of his soft
hat up with a backhanded stroke and
shook his head. "It ain't worth while;
and I gotta set back to camp. I blew
in to tell y'u there's a fella out there
that needs th' sandbag."
"Who is it?"
"Fella name' Smith. He's showin'
'em how to cut too many corners—
pace-settin', he calls it. First thing
they know, they'll get the concrete
up to where the high water won't
bu'st it out."
Stanton's laugh was impatient.
"Don't make any mistake of that
sort, Simms." he 3aid. "Wo don't
want the dam destroyed: we'd work
just as hard as they would to pre
vent that. All we want is to have
other people think it's likely to go
out—think it hard enough to keep
them from putting up anv hiore
money, bet that go. Is there anv
more fresh talk—among the men?"
Stanton prided hims'elf a little upon
the underground wire-pulling which
had resulted in putting Simms on
the ground as the keeper of the con
struction-camp canteen. It was a
fairly original way of keeping a lis
tening ear open for the camp gossip.
'Little." said the cripple briefly.
"This here blink-blank fella Smith's
been telin' Williams that 1 ort to be
run off th' reservation: says th'
booze puts the brake on for speed."
"So it does," agreed Stanton mus
insrly. "But I guess you can stay a
while longer. I have a notion that
Smith's been sent here—by some out
fit that means to buck us. If he
hasn't any backing—"
The interruption was the hurried
incoming of the young man with
sleepy eyes and the cigaret stains
on his fingers. and for once in a way
ho was stirred out of his customary
attitude of cynical indifference.
"Smith and Colonel Raldwin are
overyonderin Kinzie's private office."
he reported hastily. "Before they
shut the door I heard Baldwin in- i
troducing Smith as the new acting i
financial secretary of the Timanyoni
Ditch company:"

seconds for a swift eye-measuring
the square-shouldered, stockily
bu..t man with a gray face and stub
bly mustache sitting in the chair of
authority at the Brewster City Na
tional before he chose his line of
attack.
"We are not going to cut very
deeply into your time this morning.
Mr. Kinzie." he began when the eye
appraisal had given him his cue. ;
"You know the history of Tirrtany

well, to cut out the details, there is!
to be a complete reorganization of
the company on a new basis, and we
are here to offer to take your person

"Here, here —hold on," interrupt
ed the bank president; "you're hit
ting it up a little bit too fast for me.
Mr. Smith. Who are you and where
abouts do you hold forth when you
are at home?"
Smith laughed easily. "If we were
trying to borrow money of you, we
might have to go into preliminaries,
and particulars. Mr. Kinzie. We are
not alone in the fight for the water
rights on the other side of the riv#r.
as you know, and until we are safely
fortified we shall have to be prudent
ly cautious. What we want to know
now is this: Will you let us protect
you by taking your Timanyoni Ditch
stock at par?"
Kinzie met the issue fairlv. "I

The new secretary's smile was'

going to tell you frankly that you'll
keep it at your own risk. I am not

The banker pursed his lips until
i the stubbly gray mustache stood out;
! stiffly. Then he cut straight to the
heart of the matter.
"You mean that there will be a'
majority pool of the old stock, and
: that the pool will ignore those stock- j
1 holders who don't come in?"
"Something 'ike that," said Smith j
(pleasantly. And then: "We're go

and tell a little more? What have I

At this, the new financial manager

"Mr. Kinzie, we've got the biggest!

I j Think the matter over—about your
j stock—and let me know before noon.
I It's rather cruel to hurry you so, but
i time is previous with us and —
"You sit right down there, young
J man, and put a little ofthis precious
I time of yours against mine," said
, Kinzie, pointing authoritatively at
I the chair which Smith had just va
cated. "You mustn't go off at lialf
! cock, that way. You'll need a bank
| here to do business with, won't you?"
Smith did not sit down. Instead.
I he smiled genially and fired his final
| ; shot.
"No. Mr. Kinzie: we shan't need a
local bank—not as a matter of abso-
I lute necessity. In fact, on some ac-
I ® counts I don't know but that it would
i be better for us not to have one."
"Sit down," insisted the bank pres
ident; and this time he would take
; no denial. Then he turned abruptly
j upon Baldwin, who had been playing
' 1 his part of the silent listener letter
perfect.
i "Baldwin, we are old friends, and
; I'd trust you to the limit—on any
• proposition that doesn't ask for more
i llian the straight-from-the-shoulder
; honesty. How much is this young
, friend of ours talking through his
• hat?"
"Not any, whatever, Dave. He's
' got the goods." Baldwin was wise
enough to limit ,Jiimse!f carefully as
1 to quantity in his reply.
Again the banker made a comical
I I bristle brush of his cropped mus
tache.
"I want your business. Dexter;
I've got to have it. But I'm going to
be plain with you. You two are ask
ing me to believe that you've gone
outside and dug up a new bunch of
backers. That may be all right, but
Timanyoni Ditch has struck a pretty
i big bone that maybe your new back
; ers know about —and maybe they
! don't. You've had a lot of bad luck,
so far; getting your land titles clear
ed, and all that: and you're going to
i have more, I've —"
It was Smith's turn again and he
1 cut in smartly.
"That is precisely what I was drlv
! ing at. Our banker can't run with
the hare and hunt with the hounds.
You'll excuse me if I say that you
haven't been altogether fair with
t Timanvoni Ditch, or with Colonel
I Baldwin, -Mr. Kinzie. A friendly
i banker doesn't help sell out his cus
i tomer. You know that, as well as I
! do. Still, you did it."
Kinzie threw up his hands and
1 tried to defend himself. "It was a
straight business transaction, Mr.
Smith. -As long as we're in the bank
' ing business, we buy and sell for any
body who comes along."
"No. we don't, Mr. Kinzie; we pre
fect our customers tirst. In the pres
ent instance you thought wour cus
tomer was a dead one, anyway, so it
wouldn't make much difference if
vou should throw another shovelful
lof dirt or so onto the coffin. Wasn't
; that the way of it?"
The president was fairly pushed to
the ropes, and he showed it.
"Answer me one question, both of
you," he snapped. "Are you big
'enough to fight for your own against
j Stanton's crowd?"
| "You'll see; and the sight is going
: to cost vou something." said Smith,
! and the blandest oil could have been
i no smoother than his tone.
"Is that right, Dexter?"
"That's the way it looks to me,
i Dave," said the ranchman capitalist,
i who whatever might be his llmita
-1 tions in the tield of high finance, was
not lacking the nerve to fight un
questioning in any partner's quarrel.
The presidentof the Brewster City
National turned back to Smitji.
"What do you want. Mr. Smith?"
' he asked, not too .cordially.
I "Nothing that you'd give us, I
! guess; a little business loyalty, for
one thing—"
"And a cheeking balance for im
| mediate necessities for another?"
| suggested the banker.
With all his trained astuteness —
I trained in Kinzie's own school, at
I that —Smith could not be sure that
: the gray faced old Westerner was
! not setting a final trap for him,
I after all. But he took the risk, say
ing, with a decent show of indiffer
: ence: "Of course it would be more
convenient here than in Denver or
Chicago. But there is no hurry about
that part of it."

New Corn Remover Causes
Big Run On Drug Stores
1 Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as a
i corn remover became known in this
I country, druggists have been having
l an extraordinary demand for this
! product and it is predicted that wo
men will wear smaller and prettier
! shoes than ever.
The fact that this new discovery
which is made from a Japanese pro
duct will actually remove corns —roots
and nil—and without the slightest
pain or soreness, is of course mainly
responsible for its large and increas
ing sale.
You apply a little on a tender, ach
ing corn and instantly the soreness is
relieved, and soon the corn Is so shriv
eled that it may be lifted out with the
fingers—root and all. It is a clean,
creamy, snow-white, non-poisonous
substance and will never inflame or
irritate the most tender skin. Cutting
or paring corns too often produces
blood poisoning and people are warn
ned to stop it. Just ask in any drug
store for a small jar of Ire-Mint and
you can quickly end your corn misery
and make your feet feel pool and fine.
There is nothing better.—Advertise

CHAPTER L.
Copyright 1917. Star Company
The following afternoon Mr. Nor
ton brought me a racket from town.
He handed it to me as he stepped
from the car at the front door. We
were out on the veranda—Grace,
Mrs. Gore and I.
"Here's your racket," he said to
me. "I had no trouble in finding it.
Now you can play to your heart's
content."
"That you!" I returned, again
uncomfortably conscious that the
widow's eyes were upon me.
"May I see it, Miss Dart?" Grace
asked.
"Certainly," I replied, removing
the case. I was on my guard and
displayed no surprise when I saw
what a handsome article it was.
On the handle my initials were
burnt into the wood.
"E. D.!" Grace read admiringly.
"That stands for you, don't it, Miss
Dart?"
"Yes," I smiled, "it does."
"Where did you have it marked?"
Mrs. Gore inquired.
I caught my breath. She was try
ing to force me into an admission
that the racket was a new one
which my employer was giving me.
or into a falsehood which I could
not bring myself to tell.
Mr. Norton spared me the neces
sity of further speech.
"The marking was done at the
place at which the racket was
bought," he said quickly. "You did
not say, Miss Dart, at which one of
the sporting goods stores you
wished me to get it, so I had to use
my own judgment. 1 hope 1 dis
charged your commission satisfac
torily?"
"Very satisfactorily." I stammered.
"That's all right, then," he went
on. "You did not tell me, either
what price you wanted to pay, but
you can settle with me later for it."
"Thank you," was all I could say.
"I hope the marking meets with
your approval, Adelaide," he re
marked, coldly, turning to his sister
in-law. "I noticed that you showed
unusual interest in the racket. One
would almost fancy that you were
a tennis player -yourself."
A Swift Retort
The sarcasm went straight home,
and called out a swift retort. Mrs.
Gore was so excited, so over
wrought that for a moment she for
got her usual sauvity to the man
to whom she owed all the comforts
of her present existence.
"You are mistaken," she snapped
hack. "I am not interested at all
in rackets nor in any sport that
belongs properly to young people,
—not to any one forty-five years
old. Tennis is essentially a game
for young people—therefore of no
interest to any sensible person of
my age."
I did not look up. I could not.
But I heard the man's short, hard
laugh before he turned and went
into the house.
This woman had dared to sneer

at him for trying to be young. X
knew that consideration for the
young girl in his home had si
lenced him for the moment. But
sooner or later would he not have
a reckoning with this woman for
what she had said?
Perhaps he thought better of the
matter and decided lo let sleeping
dogs lie when he noted, as did I,
the conciliatory manner which Mrs.
Gore always adopted after she had
said something that she feared had
angered him. She had spoken in
the heat of temper, but she knew
on which side her bread was but
tered and would be careful to do
her best to efface from his mind the
memory of her ironical retort. For
my own sake 1 was glad matters
, were smooth once more.
| On Friday Tom asked me again
if I would play tennis, now that
I had my racket. I recalled what
his father had said about wanting
to play my first game with me.
Yet what excuse could I make?
"Please play!" the boy begged. He
had forgotten his father's speech.
"All right," I assented. "That will
give me a chance to practice a bit
before I compete with the others."
I was glad of the opportunity to
play with as kindly a critic as Tom
and we had several games of
singles—enough to make me feel
that I had not lost all the little
skill I once possessed. I was right
on my feet, and a swift runner.
Moreover 1 loved the sport.
"You're all right, Miss Dart!"
Tom averred when we returned to
the house to dress for the after
noon. "Don't let's tell father that
you've practiced with me. We'll
make him think that you play just as
good a game after all this time and
with no practice at all."
Tom Speaks Out
"Oh ,no," 1 demurred quickly, "I
would rather not deceive him, Tom."
The boy laughed. "Well, you are
fussy about telling the truth,— he
commented. "But I like you for it
all the same, honestly!"
Grace and I sat together on the
wide rear seat of the car that after
noon when James went to the sta
tion for his master.
1 had suggested that we go, and
Mrs. Gore, although not pleased at
the suggestion, still curbed any
sign of disapproval. Yet she ex
pressed a regret that Brewster dis
liked the limousine so much that
he did not care to have it sent to
the train for him—a fact which
precluded her going.
"1 cannot ride in an open car
with the top down, as Brewster in
sists on having it," she complained.
"This is fine!" my employer ex
claimed as he took his seat in the
tonneau and drew his little girl to
him. "What have you young people
been doing to-day?"
It was the opportunity I had
wanted, and 1 spoke the truth. "I
had a few games of tennis with
Tom." I told him. Then, as he did
not speak at once. I added. "You do
not mind, do you? And the racket
is wonderful!"
His laugh dissipated my fears.
"Why no child, of course I do not
mind!" he assured me. "That was
a silly notion of mine, perhaps,
about having the first game with
you. But I voiced it before I meant
to."
Then he Ucgan to talk of some
thing else. But why, I wondered,
should he have sentimental notions
about me, Elizabeth Dart! Then I
forced myself to turn my thoughts
in other directions.
