persuade Hardin to give up his trip
to Los Angeles. 1t might be better,
after all, for the new manager to take

face. "With Babcock."

His dwelling leaped into sight al
Hardin turned the corner Of the street.
There was but one street running
through the twin towns, fianked by tho
bitches of running water. The rest
were bitches of running water edged
by footpaths. Scowling, he passed un-
der the overhanging bird cages Of the
Desert hotel without greeting for the
loungers, whose chairs were drawn up
against the shade of the brick walls.
The momentum slackened as Hardin
neared the place he called his home.
An inner tenderness diluted the sneer
that disfigured his face. He could see

the stronger side. Hardin, on his feet
again, was sputtering helplessly at
Babcock, when Rickard called for
vote. The appropriation was carried.
Hardin's face was swollen with rage.
Rickard then called for report on
the clam-shell dredge being rushed at
Yuma. Where was the machinery?
Was 1t not to have been finished In
February?
"Why not get the machinery here?
What's the use of taking chances?" de-
manded Rickard.
Hardin felt the personal Implication.
He was on his feet ina second. "There
are no chances" He looked at Mac
Lean. 1.-THE machinery's done. It's no

at ten o'clock the next morning Har-
din, entering the office, again the gen.
cral managers, found there before him
George MacLean, the new director, and
Percy Babcock, the treasurer, who had
been put in by the Overland Pacific
when the old company was reorgan-
lied. They had just come in from Los
Angeles, the trip made in MacLean's
private car. to attend directors meet
ing.
Rickard entered few minutes later,
Estrada behind him. Ogilvie followed
Ricknrd to his desk.
"Well" inquired the new manager.
Ogilvie explained lengthily that he
had the minutes of the last meeting.
Leave them here" Rickard waved
him toward Estrada, who held out his
hand for the papers.
Reluctantly the accountant relin-
quished the papers. His retrenting
coattails looked ludlcrously whipped
but no one laughed. Hardin's scowl
deepened.

ESTRADA pushed the minutes through
with but few unimportant Interrupt
tions. He was sitting at the same desk
with Rickard. Hardin, sensitive and
sullen, thought he saw the meeting
managed between them.
Several times he attempted to bring

The meeting had already adjourned.
They were standing around the fiat

uniform of khaki-colored cloth.

Hardin caught a slight that was not
intended. He pushed East the group

mony.

MacLenn's grave features relaxed as
he looked down on the engineer, who
was no small man himself, and sug-
gested that his son was not very well
up in stenography.
"That's the least Of It."

At table. neither Estrada nor his
guest uncovered their active thought
which revolved around Hardin and his

BADLY BRUISED
But Senator Fletcher Will Probably
be Back in His Seat in
Few Days

A special from Washington to the
Times-Union says:
Senator ID. U. Fletcher, who was
badly injured here last night by being
knocked down and dragged some dis
tance by a street car, was resting
easily today. He is not as badly in
jured as was at first believed and
should be out again inside of two or
three weeks. The Florida senator is
badly cut and has many contusions
over the body but his skull was not
fractured. He regained consciousness
in about an hour after he was injured,
and was taken to his home, where his
physicians do not anticipate any very
serious results, other than those caus-
ed by cuts and shock.
1t is possible, according to what
Senator Fletcher's secretary said to-
day that he may be out in a week, if
he has no backset, but it will probab-
ly be longer as he is very badly brius-
ed from contact with the car in ad-
dition to the various cuts he received.

SENATOR FLETCHER'S
UNCEASING SERVICES

Picking up Friday a newspaper
which fought Senator Fletcher very
stoutly in the campaign of five years
ago, the first thing our eyes rested on
were headlines telling of service he
had performed for the city in which
the paper was published. There was
no praise for the senator in the news
item; no praise for him on the edi-
torial page; but the bare facts of the
item were enough for the reasoning
and unprejudiced voter.
There is hardly day but what we
see in some Florida paper where Sen
ator Fletcher has performed some SER
vice for his state. He seems to be al
ways on the lookout for its needs.
And he is always on the safe and sane
side of national measures. He never
touches off any skyrockets. But he is
constantly on the job, after the man
ner of a good workman. And he can
do the best work, for in the ten years
he has served in the Senate he has
won the confidence of the great ma
jority of the other senator's; he has
the confidence of the president also,
and he has gained for Florida weight
in national affairs that another man,
even if highly gifted, could not expect
t.? obtain in a number of years.
The news of his injury came Friday
morning as a shock, for his friends,
while they would regret misfortune to
him at any time, feel that he is par
ticularly needed now, when the dis
turbed condition of national affairs re-
quire that the coolest and most level
heads in Congress are called on for
their best work.
Senator Fletcher is a gentleman Of
the old school-courteous to the high
est degree and considerate. 1t was
just like him, as soon as he recovered
from the first shock of his accident to
think of others, to realize that the
crew of the car which struck him
would be blamed, that his word could
clear them, and lost no time in speak
ing it.
1t seems most appropriate just at
this time to reprint an article written
by Mr.. Z. c. Chambliss of Ocala, to
the Sumter County Times. Everybody
in Marion and Sumter counties, and
in every other place where he is
known, has confidence in Mr.. Cham
