Here he worked day and night at his blacksmith forge making the iron hinges, and irons, shovels, tongs, fire sets and iron work complete for a log bungalow of seven rooms which he was building on the sunny slope of the mountain which overlooks the valley toward Asheville. The Doctor had lent Jim the blue-prints of his own home and he was quietly duplicating it with loving care.
Once or twice the two others, consulting before the wax group, heard the girl's light, untroubled laughter behind their backs gaily responsive to Quair's wit. Perhaps Quair's inheritance had been humor, but to some it seemed perilously akin to mother-wit. The pockets of Guilder's loose, ill-fitting clothes bulged with linen tracings and rolls of blue-prints.
Now he was so exhilarated that, to prove he wasn't, he droned about the office for fifteen minutes, looking at blue-prints, explaining to Miss McGoun that this Mrs. Scott wanted more money for her house had raised the asking-price raised it from seven thousand to eighty-five hundred would Miss McGoun be sure and put it down on the card Mrs. Scott's house raise.
For what seemed an hour to the bridge-builder Sir Thomas Drummond gazed at him with a cold, hard eye, then he folded his papers, rolled up his blue-prints, placed them in the big traveling-bag, and carefully locked it.

"I mean the blue-prints!" Mrs. Maitland commanded loudly; "you have no sense, Evans!" Ferguson got up; she had a way of not hearing when she was spoken to that made a man hot along his backbone. Robert Ferguson was hot, but he meant to have the last word; he paused at the door and looked back. "I shall not allow it." "Good-day, Mr. Ferguson," said his employer, deep in the blue- prints.
Elizabeth and Jane aided and abetted her in clamoring for a Seattle home, although both were quick to note the advantages of a picturesque country home on the cliffs above the bight.

The two friends discussed at great length the details of the Big Idea, and upon arrival in the West Linder lost no time in preparing blue-prints and charts descriptive of the improvements to be made on the land and the order in which the work was to be carried on.
Giddings hesitated, and looked inquiringly at his younger companions. "It looks that way," said John Ross, with a reluctant nod. None needed to explain that the same thought had struck him, also. The stolen blue-prints the skulking man with the swarthy face! He had duplicated the Sky-Bird!
