CHAPTER IX Continued.
That is precisely what I was driv
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 Timanyoni
Ditch, or with Colonel Baldwin, Mr.
Kinzie. A friendly banker doesn't
help sell out his customer. You know
that, as well as I do. Still, you did
it."
Kinzie threw up his hands and tried
to defend himself. "It was a straight
business transaction, Mr. Smith. As
long as we're in the banking business,
uuj ami scu lur uuyuouy wiio comes
along."
"No, we don't, Mr. Kinzie; we pro
tect our customers first. In the pres
ent instance you thought your cus
tomer was a dead one, anyway, so it
wouldn't make much difference if you
should throw another shovelful of 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 Stanton's
crowd?"
"You'll see; and the sight is going
to cost you something," said Smith,
and the blandest oil could have been
no smoother than his tone.
"Is that right, Dexter?"
"That's the way it looks to me,
Dave," said the ranchman capitalist,
who, whatever might be his limitations
in the field of high finance, was not
lacking the nerve to fight unquestion
ing in any partner's quarrel.
The president of the Brewster City
National turned back to Smith.
"What do you want, Mr. Smith?" he
asked, not too cordially.
"Nothing that you'd give us, I guess ;
a little business loyalty, for one
thing"
"And a checking balance for imme
diate necessities for another?" sug
gested the banker.
With all his trained astuteness
trained in Kinzie's own school, at
that Smith could not be sure that the
gray-faced old Westerner was not set
ting a final trap for him, after all. But
he. took the risk, saying, with a decent
show of indifference: "Of course it
would be more convenient here than in
Denver or Chicago. But there is no
hurry about that part of it."
The president took a slip of paper
from a pigeonhole and wrote rapidly
upon It. Once more his optimism was
a ij a i i i . a
locKing norns witn pruaent cauuon. n
was the optimism, however, that was
driving the pen. Baldwin's word was
worth something, and it might be dis
astrous to let these two get away with
out anchoring them solidly to the
Brewster City National.
"Sign this, you two," he said. "I
doln't know even the name of your new
outfit yet, but I'll take a chance on one
piece of two-name paper, anyhow."
Smith took up the slip and glanced
a. ii tl : n i
ai iu it was an accomujouuuou uuit:
for twenty thousand dollars. With the
money fairly in his hands, he paused
to drive the nail of independence
squarely before he would begin.
"We don't want this at all, Mr. Kin
zie, unless the bank's goodwill comes
with it," he said with becoming grav
Ity.
"Til stand by you," was the brusque
rejoinder. "But it's only fair to you
both to say that you've got the biggest
kind of a combination to buck you
a national utilities corporation with
the strongest sort of political backing."
"I doubt if you can tell us anything
that we dont already know," said
Smith coolly, as he put his name on
the note ; and when Baldwin had
signed: "Let this go to the credit of
Timanyoni Ditch, if you please, Mr.
Kinzie, and we'll transfer It later. It's
quite possible that we sha'n't need it,
but we are willing to help out a little
on your discount profits, anyway. Fur
ther along, when things shape them
selves up a bit more definitely, you
shall know all there is to know, and
we'll give you just as good a chance
to make money as you'll give us."
When they were safely out of the
bank and half a square away from it.
Dexter Baldwin pushed his hat back
and mopped his forehead. "They say
a man cant sweat at this altitude," he
remarked. "I'm here to tell you,
Smith, that I've lost ten pounds in the
last ten minutes. Where in the name
of jumping Jehoshaphat did you get
your nerve, boy? You made him be

somewhere."

WITH THE GREAT IRRIGATION DAM PROJECT
Synopsis. J. Montague Smith, cashier of Lawrenceville Bank and
Trust company, society bachelor engaged to marry Verda Richlander,
heiress, knocks his employer, Watrous Dunham, senseless, leaves him
for dead and flees the state when Dunham accuses Smith of dishon
esty and wants him to take the blame for embezzlement actually com
mitted by Dunham. Several weeks later, Smith appears as a tramp
at a town in the Rocky mountains and gets a laboring job in an irriga
tion ditch' construction camp. His intelligence draws the attention of.
Williams, the superintendent, who thinks he can use the tramp, John
Smith, in a more important place. The ditch company is in hard lines
financially because Eastern financial interests are working to under
mine the local crowd headed by Colonel Baldwin and take over valu
able property. Smith finally accepts appointment as financial sec?
retary of Baldwin's company. He has already struck up a pleasnnt
acquaintance with Corona Baldwin, the colonel's winsome daughter

start the legal machinery. Then you
can get into your car and go around
and interview your crowd, man by

we stand with the old stockholders be
fore we make any move in public. Can
you do that?"
Baldwin lifted his hat and shoved his
fingers through his hair.
"I reckon I can ; there are only sixty
or seventy of 'em. And Bob Stillings
is your lawyer. Come around the cor
ner and I'll introduce you."
CHAPTER X.
The Rocket and the Stick.
For a full fortnight after the pre
liminary visit to the Brewster City
National bank Smith was easily the
busiest man in Timanyoni county. Es
tablishing himself in the Hophra
House, and discarding the working
khaki only because he was shrewd
enough to dress the new part becom
ingly, he flung himself into what
Colonel Baldwin called the "miracle
working" campaign with a zest that
knew no flagging moment.
Within the fourteen-day period new
town offices were occupied on the sec
ond floor of the Brewster City Na
tional building ; Stillings, most efficient
of corporation counsels, had secured
the new charter; and the stock-books
of Timanyoni High Line had been
opened, with the Brewster City .Na
tional named as the company's deposi
tory and official fiduciary agent.
At the dam the building activities
had.been generously doubled. An elec
tric light plant had been installed, and
Williams was working day and night
shifts both in the quarries and on the
forms. Past this, the new financial
manager, himself broadening rapidly
as his field broadened, was branching
out in other directions. After a brief
conference with a few of his principal
stockholders he had instructed Stillings
to include the words "Power and Light"
in the cataloguing of the new com
pany's possible and probable charter
activities, and by the end of the fort
night the foundations of a powerhouse
were going in below the dam, and ne
gotiations were already on foot with
the Brewster city council looking to
ward the sale of electric current to the
city for lighting and other purposes.
Smith had made the planting of his
financial anchor securely to windward
his first care. Furnished with a select
ed list by Colonel Baldwin, he had
made a thorough canvas of possible in
vestors, and by the time the new stock
was printed and -eady for delivery
through Kinzie's bank, an ironclad pool
of the majority of the original Timan
yoni Ditch stock had been organized,
and Smith had sold to Maxwell, Star
buck, and other local capitalists a suf
ficient amount of the new treasury
stock to give him a fighting chance:
this, with a promise of more if It
should be needed.
Not to Maxwell or to any of the new
investors had Smith revealed the full
dimensions of the prize for which Tim
anyoni High Line was entering the
race. Colonel Baldwin and one Wil
liam Starbuck, Maxwell's brother-in-law,
by courtesy, and his partner in
the Little Alice mine, alone knew the
wheel within the wheel ; how the great
eastern utility corporation represented
by Stanton had spent a million or
more in the acquisition of the Esea
lante grant, which would be practical
ly worthless as agricultural land with
out the water which could be obtained
only by means of the Timanyoni dam
and canal system.
With all these strenuous stirrings in
the business field, it may say itself that
Smith found little time for social in
dulgences during the crowded fort
night. Day after day the colonel begged
him to take a night off at the ranch,
and it was even more difficult to refuse
the proffered hospitality at the week
end. But Smith did refuse it.
It was not until after Miss Corona
driving to town with her father, as she
frequently did had thrice visited the
new offices that Smith began to con
gratulate himself, rather bitterly, to
be sure, upon his wisdom in staying
away from Hillcrest. For one thing,
he was learning that Corona Baldwin
was able to make him see rose-colored.
When she was not with him, he was a
man in daily peril of meeting the
sheriff. But when she was present,
calm sanity had r way of losing its
grip.
Miss Corona's fourth visit to the
handsome suite of offices over the
Brewster City National chanced to
fall upon a Saturday. Her father,
president of the new company, as he
had been of the old, had a private of
fice of his own, but Miss Corona soon
drifted out to the railed-off end of the
larger room, where the financial sec
retary had his desk.
"Colonel-daddy tells me that you are
coming out to Hillcrest for the week
end," was the way in which she in
terrupted the financial secretary's
brow-knittings over a new material
contract. "I have just wagered him a
nice fat little round iron dollar of my
allowance that you won't. How about
it?"
Smith looked up with his best-na-tured
grin.
"You win," he said shortly.
"Thank you," she laughed. "In a
minute or so Til go back to the presi
dent's office and collect." Then: "One
dinner, lodging and breakfast of us
was about all you could stand, wasn't
it? I thought maybe it would be that
way."
"What made you think so?"
She had seated herself in the chair
reserved for Inquiring investors. There
was a little interval of glove-smoothing
silence, and then, like a flash out
of a clear sky, she smiled across the
desk end at him and said:
"Will you forgive me if I ask you a
perfectly ridiculous question?"
"Certainly. Other people ask them
every day."
"Is is your name really and truly
John Smith?"
"Why should you doub it?"
It was just here that Smith was
given to see another one of Miss Co
rona's many moods or tenses and it
was a new one to him. She was visibly
embarrassed.
"I I don't want to tell you," she
stammered.
"All right; you needn't"
"If you're going to take it that easy,
I will tell you," she retorted. "Mr.
Williams thought your name was an
alias ; and I'm not sure that he doesn't

UUUA OV.
"The. Smiths never have to have
aliases. It's like John Doe or Richard
Roe, you know."
"Haven't you any middle name?"
"I have a middle initial. It is M.' "
He was looking, her fairly in the eyes
as he said it, and the light in the new
offices was excellent. Thanks to her
horseback riding. Miss Corona's small
oval face had a touch of healthy out
door tan; but under the tan there
came, for just a flitting instant, a flush
of deep color, and at the back of the
gray eyes there was something that
Smith had never seen there before.
"It's it's just an initial?" she
queried. '
"Yes ; it's just an initial, and I don't
use it ordinarily. I'm not ashamed of
the plain 'John. "
"I don't know why you should be,"
she commented, half absently, he
thought. And then : "How many 'John
M. Smiths' do you 'suppose there are
in the United States?"
. "Oh, I don't know ; a million or so, I
guess."
"I should think you would be rather
glad of that," she told him. But when
he tried to make her say why he should
be glad, she talked pointedly of other
things and presently went back to her
father's office.
There were fine little headings of
perspiration standing on the fugitive's
forehead when she left him.
After the other members of the of
fice force had taken their departure,
he still sat at his desk striving to bring
himself back with some degree of clear
headedness to the pressing demands of
his job.' Just as he was about to give
it up and go across to the Hophra
House for his dinner, William Starbuck
drifted in to open the railing gate and
to come and plant himself in the chair
of privilege at Smith's desk end.
"Well, son; you've got the animals
stirred up good and plenty, at last,"
he said, when he had found the "mak
ings" and was deftly rolling a cigar
ette his one overlapping habit reach
ing back to his rangeriding youth.
"Dick Maxwell got a wire today from
his kiddie's grandpaw and my own
respected daddy-in-law Mr. Hiram
Fairbairn; you know him the lumber
king."
"I'm listening," said Smith.
"Dick's wire was an order; instruc
tions from headquarters to keep hands
off of your new company and to work
strictly in cahoots 'harmony' was the
word he used with Crawford Stanton.
How does that fit you?"
The financial secretary's smile was
the self-congratulatory face-wrinkling
of the quarry foreman who has seen
his tackle hitch hold to land the big
stone safely at the top of the pit.
"What is Maxwell going to do about
it?" he asked.
"Dick Is all wool and a yard wide;
and what he signs his name to is what
he is going to stand by. You won't lose
him, but the wire shows us just about
where we're aiming to put our leg into
the gopher hole and break It, doesn't
it?"
'Tm not borrowing any trouble. . Mr.
Fairbairn andhis colleagues are lust

Sfie ex-cowpuncher. who was now
wefjr up on the middle rounds of for

SjEfcpith went to his rooms in the hotel
a ffifv -minutes later to change for din

dre&lng-case overflowing. Opening
another, het began to arrange the over
flow methodically. The empty drawer
wajsTJined with a newspaper, and a sln-
gle'headline on the upturned page i
sprang at him like a thing living and
veispsaus. He bent fower and read
the.lunderrunning paragraph with a
duls rage mounting to his eyes and
setting for the moment to make the
graE of the printed lines turn red.

PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE.
LESSON TEXT Psalms' 85 end 126. !
GOLDEN TEXT They that sow in (
tears shall reap In joy. Psalms 126:5.
These Psalms breathe the spirit of
the true patriot The Psalmist sees
his afflicted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prays for their ;
restoration to the Divine favor, and i
with the eagle eye of faith anticipates j
the joyful day Of spiritual and tem
poral blessings because of restoration ;
to the Divine favor. Doubtless such ;
patriotism would be pleasing to the
Lord on the part of us alL
Psalm 85.
I. Praises for Mercies Received
(vv. 1-3).
Praise if given for
(1) Deliverance from Captivity (v.
1).
He had In mind the specific mercies
of a given time; perhaps it was one
of the oppressions of the Philistines
from which' they had been delivered..
(2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3).
"Thou hast forgiven the iniquity
covered all their sin." God's restora
tion was the proof that he had par
doned. Great indeed was the sin of
Jacob, but God's forgiveness was great
er. He is peculiarly a God of mercy
Having forgiven the sins his anger is
taken away. He stayed his hand from
the judgment which would have justly
fallen, to show his mercy.
II. Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
He knew how worthless the outward
blessings of the Lord would be unless
the people inwardly turned to the
Lord. He, therefore, besought the
Lord to give them the greater blessing,
that of a change of heart. Without the
change of heart forgiveness would be
futile. A change of heart can only be
by God's help.
(1) That God would turn the hearts
of his people toward himself (v. 4).
Knowing the people's utter helpless
ness to turn to God, he cried out to
God to save them by turning them to
himself. He knew that God's anger
could not turn from the people as long
as they were impenitent.
(2) That God would take away the
very remembrance of their sins (w.
5-7). .
(a) The ending of his anger (v. 5).
The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his dis
pleasure by not longer allowing pun
ishment to be meted out to them.
(b) The return to the people's joy
(v. 6).
Their joy could only be realized !
through a revival from God. The i
Psalmist now becomes more bold in his ,
requests. j
(c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7). j
"Make it visible," is his cry. God's
judgment was most real. His desire is
that his mercy would be just as real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (w. 8-13). i
Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, the poet expresses .
confidence of the Lord's response. So j
faithful is God that those who sin- :
cerely pray to him can go forward
with the assurance of petitions granted. 1
(1)' "He will speak peace" (v. 8).
He knew that a gentle answer would
, come, but its continuance would de
i pend upon the fidelity of the people.
Turning to folly would provoke again
his wrath. i
j (2) Will bring his salvation near
i (v. 9). ;
Only as his salvation was near could ,
glory be in the land.
(3) Devise a way by which "Mercy j
and truth," "Righteousness and peace," I
may be united (vv. 10, 11). i
He did not suggest a way. He may
not have known it. Faith now sees
the way in Christ. In him such a
union has been blessedly effected.
(4) The land shall become fruitful
(v. 11). j
i When sin is removed, temporal pros-
! perity shall follow. Earth's barren
ness is due to sin. When the curse is
removed fruitfulness shall follow.
(5) Righteousness shall be the
guide of his people (v. 12).
In that golden, glad age God's right-,
eous ways will leave a track in which
his own may walk with security.
Psalm 126.
I. The Fact of Zion's Deliverance
(vv. 1, 2).
(1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord.
(2) Effect of (vv. 1,2).
(a) The people were scarcely able
to believe it. So sudden and unexpect
ed was their deliverance that it
seemed to them as a dream. They ex
pressed their feeling in joyful laughter.
(b) The heathen noted their deliver
ance as marvelous, and ascribed it to
God (v. 2).
The Proper Attitude
The proper attitude of a man to
ward woman is not a very complicated
affair. The fellow who admires her if
she's beautiful, honors her if she is
a mother, respects her if she works,
has sympathy for her if she is In dis
tress, and pities her if she stumbles is
in a fair way to become a gentleman.
