WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Congress
is preparing to adjourn without en-
acting any big reconstruction meas
ures.
1t has been definitely decided by
senate leaders that no more domestic
legislation of importance can be put
through at this session.
They hope to finish the peace
treaty next week and 90 home ror q
fortnight's vacation before the .regu.
lar sessions open December /.
This will leave undisposed Of the
big reconstruction measures provid.
ing for the peace time military
policy. reorganization or railroads
and the tariff.
House leaders are still fighting for
action on the railroad bills, but ne
decision of the senate Interstate COM
merce committee to ABANDON the
Cummins bill until next session
dashes that hope.
Representative Mondell, house ma
jority leader, and others are known
to be displeased at the senate's
failure to cooperate m passing do
mestic legislation.
They are also known to have
spoken sharp words on several occa-
sions over this situation. When it
became known the senate would not
attempt to pass permanent railroad
legislation at this session, Mondell
made a hurried trip over 10 the SEN
ate and TALKED to Chairman Cum
Minis, but the situation mas not been
improved as result, II is said.
The army program is in similar
situation. Bills have been intro
duced, hearings held, but no bill can
be put through until probably after
the Christmas holidays.
Tariff legislation has struck snag.
The house has passed several bills
to protect the dye industry and other
industries likely to be hit by Euro
pean competition. These have
bumped up against the stone wall of
the senate, however. Senator Smoot
offered as substitute for these bills
an "anti dumping" measure to keep
out European goods offered below
cost, but Senator Penrose, whose
word is close to law in tariff matters,
has determined against legislation
until the economic situation Is more
settled.

: CHAPTER XII.
The FiQhtinu Chance.

"Casey's back, spying!" announced
Wooster at mess one evening. BY that
time the feeling against "Marshalrs
man" was actively hostile. There had
been a smudge of slumbering fires be.
fore Richard had left the towns.
Famed by much talk during his alb
sence, it had burst into active blaze.
They were ready to show their resent
ment against the man who had sup
planted Hardin, their Napoleon, if il
cost them their places. BY this time
the cause of the desert was as COM
pelling to these hardy soldiers as were
the lily banners of France to the fol-
lowers of the Little Corporal.
Richard was not expected He had
been gone less than week. The ef-
feet of his return was that of a per-
son who returns suddenly into room,
huShing an active babel of tongues.
He knew what he would find, ample
reasons why! He was not given the
satisfaction of locating any particular
act of disobedience. The men pre-
sented blank wall of politeness rea-
sOnable and Intellectual. Silent ex-
planned briefly that he had not been
able to collect enough men. Most of
the force was busy in the No. 6 dis
trict. trying to push the shattered Wis
taria through by new route before
that years crops were entirely ruined.
A gang was at Grants Heading; the
floor needed hracing. Another squad,
Irishs, was in tho Volcano Lake re-
gion, where they were excavating for
the new headgate.
"No hurry for that" Richard was
glad to pick flaw in such a perfect
pattern. "You might have withdrawn
those men and put them to work on
the levee."
Il was given no authority to dc
that"
The chief pretended to accept the
rcason; else il were case of chang
ing horses III midstream. What he
had seen at the Heading, his peep at
the exposed valley, his cleaning OF
the rivers history had convinced him
that in haste and concentration lay

fuse to see the INSTRUMENTATION of the
engineers, the seasoned desert sol
diers. He needed them, must win
their confidence if he could. If not,
they must save the valley anyway
The imperturbable front of Silent, his
bland, big stare, exasperated him;
easier to control the swapping terrier
Of a Wooster. He had told Silent dis
tinctly to gather his men and rush the
levee. A good soldier had made bet
ter guess than his, and had stopped
the scasual work at Black Butte, or
had found Indians! Thoughtfully
Richard followed that last suggestion

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER TX. c. Richard, an engi-
neer of the Overland Pacific, is called to
the office Of President Marshall in Tue
son, Ariz. Casey is an enigma to the
but he had resigned a chair of engineer
ing in the East to go on the road as
fireman and his promotion had been spec
tacular. While waiting for Marshall Rick
ard reads a report on the ravages of the
Colorado, despite the efforts of Thomas
Hardin of the Desert Reclamation com
pany. This Hardin had been a student
under Richard and had married Gerty
Holmes. with whom Rickard had fancied
he was in love.
CHAPTER II-Marshall tells Rickard
the Overland Pacific has got to step in
to save the Imperial Valley ard sends
him to the break. Richard declines be-
cause he does not want to supplant Har-
din. but Is won over. "Stop the river:
damn the expense" says Marshall.
CHAPTER III-Rickard journeys to
Calexico, sees the irrigated desert and
learns much about Hardin and his work.
CHAPTER IV-At the hotel he meets
Mr. and Mrs Hardin and lnnes Hardin,
Hardin's half sister. Disappointed in her
husband and an incorrigble coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her former
over and invites him to dinner.
CHAPTER v-Rickard visits the com
pany's offices and takes control. He finds
the engineers loyal to Hardin and hos
tile to him. Estrada, Mexican. son OF
the Father of the Imperial Valley" tells
him of the general situation.
CHAPTER vI-Rickard attends a
meeting of the directors and asserts his
authority. Hardin RACES. Estrada tellf

CHAPTER IX-Hardin discovers that
Richard is planning a levee to protect

Detent. Gerty thinks her lord jealous.
CHAPTER X-The Hardin dinner to
Richard disclOses further the family char
acteristics. Hardin is surly and sulky.
lines is hardly polite. Gerty plans a
progressive ride" in Richards honor.
CHAPTER XI-Rickard encounters the
INSTRUMENTATION of the company's engi-
neers. He is stirred by the Indians state
ment that this is the hundredth year of
a cycle. when the Great Yellow Dragon,
the Colorado, grows restless. He makes
various preparations pushes work on
the CaleXico levee and is ordered by
Marshall TO take a fighting chance" on
the completion of Hardins pet project,
a gate to shut the break in the river.
CHAPTER XIT-San Francisco is de-
stroyed by earthquake and fire, and dredge
machinery, which Richard had ordered
Hardin to have shipped, is burned through
Hardin's neglect. Richard secretly equips
the big water tower as a signal station.

why they knew 1t at all. The men
who We're shoyeling earth on the 1evee
began to talk of San Francisco. Some
one said that morning that the city
was badly hurt. No one could confirm
the rumor, but it grew with the day.
Richard met it at the office late in
the afternoon. He went direct to the
telegraph operators desk.
Get Los Angeles, the O. P. office.
And be quick about it."
In ten minutes he was talking to
Bahcock. Babcock said that the dam
age by the earthquake to that city was
not known, but it was afire. San Jose
had confirmed it. Oakland had report
ed the flames creeping up the resi-
dence hills of that gay Western city.
Cinders were already falling in the
tranSbay town.
Richard dropped the receiver.
'Where's Hardin?'
Tom Hardin emerged from knot
OF men who were talking in a corner
by the door.
where's that machinery?'
''What machinery?"
Richard saw the answer to his ques-
| ton in the others face.
"The dredge machinery. Did YOU
attend to that? Did you send for it?'
"Oh, yes, that's all right. It's all
right"
rs it here?"
Hardin attempted popularity. 81
| didn't know as you wanted it here. I
ordered it sent to Yuma"
us it at Yuma?"
Hardin admitted that it was not yet
at Yuma; it would be there soon; he
had written; oh, it was all right.
"When did you write?"
Hardin REDEEMED under the cate
chism of questions. He resented be-
ing held up before his men. The 9TH
ers felt the electricity in the air. Har-
din and his successor were glaring at
each other like belligerents.
Il asked when did you write?"
yesterday"
"Yesterday!" Richard ripped out
an oath. Yesterday. Why at all, I'd
like to know? Did you understand
that you were ordered to get that
here? Now. it's gone"
"Gone" The others crowded up.
"San Francsico's burning" He
| walked into his inner Office, mad clear
through. He was not thinking of the
ruin of the gay young city; not a
thought yet did he have of the human
| tragedies enacting there; of homes,
lives, fortunes swept into that huge
bonfire. AS it affected the work at the
river, the first block to his campaign,
the catastrophe came home to him. He
had a picture of tortured, twisted
iron, of ruined machinery, the ma
chinery for his dredge. He saw it lying
like spent LAGOON, writhing In It's
last struggle. He blamed himself for
leaving even such small detail as the
Fastening of the parts to Hardin's
care, for Hardin wasn't fit to be trust.
ed for anything. No one could tell
him now the man was unlucky; he
was a fool. A month wasted and
days were precious. A month? Months.
Hardins luck. Oh, hell
Then he began to speculate as he
cooled over the trouble up yonder a
whole city burning? They would sure
ly get it under control. He began to
think of the isolation; the telegraph
wires all down. That might happen
anywhere! He walked to the door
and looked thoughtfully at the com.
pany's big water tower. That wasn't
