SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER TX. c. Rickard, 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
office force; he wears "dude'' clothes,
but he had resigned chair of engineer
ing in the East to go on the road as a
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 student
under Rickard 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 and sends
him to the break. Rickard declines be-
cause he does not want to supplant Har-
din, but Is won over. stop the riveT
damn the expense" says Marshall.
CHAPTER III-Rickard journeys to
Calexico, sees the irrigated desert ana
learns much about Hardin and his work.
CHAPTER IV-At the hotel he meets
Mr.. and Mrs. Hardin and 1nnes Hardin,
Hardin's half sister. Disappointed In her
husband and an incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her former
lover 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, q Mexican, son OF
the "Father Of the Imperial Valley" tells
him of the general situation.

each sensitive feature.

on the angry face. Was this genuine,

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

face. with Babcock."
IT won't be missed" Hardin's
mouth was bitter. Estrada, If had
the sense Of a goat I'd sell out, sell
my stock to MacLean and quit. What's
in all this for me? Does anyone doubt
my reason for staying? 1t would be

COALITION PARTY

LONDON, July 16.-The Daily Mail,
a newspaper which has been opposing
Premier Lloyd George, stated today
that Col. winston Churchill secretary
Of state for war, is preparing the
formation of a new permanent coali=
ton political party.
The Evening News emphasized the
story in its afternoon edition with a
Etreamer head. saying: The Latest
Political Sensation"
Colonel Churchill made q speech at
the Criterion Restaurant last night.
having just returned from a visit to
Premier Lloyd George, who is re-
Operating at Criccioth, Wales. 1t
was then the proposal was made
public.
The Northcliffe morning papers
played" the story as a scoop" over
the Chronicle. which is close to the
premier and which has generally been
supposed to be his organ.
The Star, an opposition paper, leaves
its story with the query: "Is the
premier the leader OF the new party?"
Colonel ChurchilI's plan involves a
permanent union of moderates in the
coalition factions of both Liberals and
Unionists.

ASK OPEN
HEARING ON BRUCE

Confident that DR.. Van Schaick. jr.,
new president of the Board of Edu-
cation will bring about the settle
ment of the Bruce case next fall Of
ficiaIs OF the Parents League stated
today that they plan to suspend, for
the present, action derogatory to the
interests of the board.
This indication of cooperation. with
the board by the Parents League is
interesting TO school officials mas
much as the league, with it's 10000
members has been one of the most
consistent critics of the board during
the school wars.
DR.. Van Schaick, II is known, was
elected president OF the board par
TALLY because OF the support OF the
Parents League. Before the elections
were held, il appeared that DR.. Van
Schaick's supporters lacked one vote
TO place him at the head of the Wash
ington public schools. Through the
Parents League. which is known as
the most powerful organization OF col
ored people in the District, the vote
OF one other of the colored members
of the board was given TO DR.. Van
Schaick.
Want Open Hearing.
"AlI the Parents League asks is
an opportunity to present its case in
an open hearing, and when that hear
ing is granted and held we feel con-
fident that the board will be con-
WINGED of the justice OF the Parents
League fight" said the Rev. James
l. Pinn, one of the officers of the
