"Td take more ORDERS" suggested
the engineer.
"Then send third of them home,
tell them to come back tonight at six.
Send away the other third, tell them
to come back at noon. Keep the other
shift. Say you'll have coffee sent
from the hotel, tell them Hardin says
to stop wasting stuff. Tell them, oh,
tell them anything you can think of,
Silent, before he comes" Her break
down was girlish.
She could hear the signal of the To-

could hear the pant Of the engine as
1t worked up the grade. It was
steady gentle climb all the way from
the junction, two hundred feet below
sealevel, to the towns resting at the
level of the sea. It quickened her
thought of the power Of the river.
Nothing between it and the tracks at
Salton. Nothing to stop Its flow into
that spectacular new sea whose basin
did not need drop Of the precious
misguided flow. She could hear the
bells; now the train was coming into
the station; she would not wait for
Silent. She did not want to meet
Rickard.
No one saw her as she left the levee.
She passed Silent, who was issuing or
ders. She heard him say, ''The boss
says so."
She took the road by the railroad
sheds, to avoid the dismissed shifts,
moving downward. At full speed, she
cOllided with man, rounding the
sheds corner. 1t was Rickard. Her
veil had slipped to her shoulders and
he saw her face.

She recognized Parrish behind him.
She tried to tell him that she knew
every Indian in Mexicali, every Mexi-
can in the twin towns, but he would
not listen to her. "Tm not going to let
you 60 home alone"
She blinked rebellion at the sup
planter Of her brother. But she found
herself following Parrish. She took q
deep pride in her independence. her
fearlessness. Tom let her 60 where
she liked. She had an impulse to dis
miss Parrish; every man was needed,
but he would obey Richards orders.
MacLean had told her thati 'sThey

Rickard made his way down to the
levee. "Where is Hardin" he asked

to explain that Hardin had gone up to

The friend Of Hardin had nothing
to say. II thought you said he went

his chief.
There was another detonation. Down
the river came the booming Of the sec

THAT'S dynamite for sure" evaded
Silent.
"Not a minute too soonw declared
Richard, going back to his inspection.

No more rain is probable now in the

Cloudy wheather will continue for
several days they believe.
No damage has been suffered by
the wheat crop so far, is the opinion
Of T. {. Thatcher, general manager .of
the Oklahoms City Mill 4 Elevator
company. A general rain at this time
would be q serious thing, Thatcher
says.
The harvest has already been de
layed 4 week by rain, Thatcher says,
and farmers are working night and
day to get the wheat cut. Twenty
pereent Of the crop has been cut a.
ready, he says. Rain now would no,
only result in the wheat falling, bu,
would cause the grains to scatter from
the heads, resulting in loss.
First shipments OF the new crop are
expected TO be received by the mill
here BY Saturday.
