...time; at a crucial moment the cement runs out: then some blundering fool cuts off the water to attach a metre; it rains; a storm comes, knocking out the telephone wires, imperiling vital communications. One of the briggaders loses a hand between two shunting flatcars. The foreman, incoherent with rage, implores his superior engineer, who he thinks is interfering, to go to hell, to get off the lot. By the time the last few loads are mixed, even anti-Bolshevik readers will be sitting on the edge of their chairs, breathing hard through their noses. When the whistle blows...

...bloc of votes which have meant victory in the past are now split, how closely no one knows. The Innes-Nichols-Goulston group is an excellent match for the Curley-Coakley-Foley combine. Parkman has the record of being a political giant-killer and his experience as a dock foreman combined with political astuteness make him a vote-getter among the working classes. Mansfield points justifiably with pride to his 90-odd thousand votes against Curley last election. Last minute dopesters say Foley's loss of the city employee vote to Nichols has killed his chances.

...General Airways' planes flying due north over Ontario's lake country to Porcupine gold camp. Their first goal was famed Mclntyre-Porcupine mine, Mr. Bickell's prize performer (which produced $5,425,000 of gold last year). There they met Sandy Mclntyre, onetime glass-molder, later foreman of a railroad construction gang, who discovered the mine and now lives on a pension (doled out in small amounts so that he will not disappear for too long at a time). There they went down into the bowels (4,134 ft.) of the earth to see the quartz gold...
