Find Kennedy," he called back almost brusquely. "It's Miss Blanche Blaisdell, the actress she's been found dead here. The thing is an absolute mystery. Now get him, GET HIM." It was still early in the evening, and Kennedy had not come in, nor had he sent any word to our apartment. O'Connor had already tried the laboratory. As for myself, I had not the slightest idea where Craig was.
"That, one can never count on," retorted Blaisdell, shaking his head. "The state courts would have charge of the appraising of the value of the road, and one can never tell just what courts will award. Ten chances to one the appraisal wouldn't cover more than fifty per cent. of what the S.B. & L. has expended, and thus our company would be many millions of dollars out of pocket.
Come, don't let's waste any more time over that. What we've got to decide is what to DO. First, Of course, we must order expensive mourning all around." "Mourning!" ejaculated an amazed chorus. "Oh, great Scott!" spluttered Mr. Smith, growing suddenly very red. "I never thought " He stopped abruptly, his face almost purple. But nobody was noticing Mr. Smith. Bessie Blaisdell had the floor.
He saw Blaisdell, and pronounced the assistant engineer a very sick man. Shortly after midnight Mr. Thurston rode into camp. He tottered from saddle and reeled until Tom, on the lookout for him, ran forward and supported the chief engineer to his tent. Then Dr. Gitney was sent for and came. "Your chief has mountain fever, too," said the medical attendant to Tom, after stepping outside the tent.
From Jane, also, came several letters, and from Frank Blaisdell one short scrawl. Frank said he was having a bully time, but that he'd seen some of the most shiftless-looking grocery stores that he ever set eyes on. He asked if Maggie knew how trade was at his old store, and if Donovan was keeping it up to the mark.
Blaisdell and Morgan having left, Houston retired to his room to make his first report of the information he had secured and seemed likely to secure, concerning the ways and means of the western mining company; leaving the chess players deep in their game, and Lyle watching them.
The man seemed to pay little attention to his being there, and on coming out, Houston inquired of Mr. Blaisdell concerning him. "I can tell you nothing about him," replied Mr. Blaisdell, "except that he and his partner, the Irishman, are the two most expert miners we have.
Only a man with a penetrating, analytical mind would observe it, but there were openings here and there where his armor could be pierced. Blaisdell, one of the correspondents, noticed the fact, and he whispered to Harley: "It's a good thing that Jimmy Grayson has no great speaker against him to-night; I never knew him to wander from the point before."

The one writing on the dance programme he knew was young Hibbard Gaylord. Mr. Smith did not approach at once. Leaning against a window-casing near by, he watched the kaleidoscopic throng, bestowing a not too conspicuous attention upon the group about Miss Mellicent Blaisdell. Mellicent was the picture of radiant loveliness.
