CHAPTER XXI.
A Visit to Maidonado.

Mrs. Hardin'S descent on the office
that afternoon was successful. but not
satisfactory. She had found the man
ager brief to curtness. She was given
no excuse to linger. She traced Rick
ards manner TO the presence of Mac
Lean, and snatched at her cue She,
too, could be busineSSlike and brief.
Her errand was of business her man
ner should recommend heri
Richard had seen her making
straight toward the ramada. 1t was
not the first time; her efforts to line
her nest had involved them all and
often. But today, he was in a bad
humor.
For the Lords sake" he groaned
to MacLean as she approached.
MacLean's grin covered relief. He had
never heard Richard express himself
on the subject before. THE dead-set
Hardin's wife was making at Casey"
was the choice gossip and speculation
of the young engineers on the Delta.
MacLean had a bet up on the outcome.
He grinned more securely.
81 am not going to spare any more
carpenters" growled Richard. It was
an inauspicious day for Mrs. Hardin's
visit. Things had gone wrong. VeX-
atiOns were piling up. A tilt with Har-
din that morning. a telegram from

Gerty's ruffies swept in. Her dress,
the blue null with the lace medallions,
accented the hue of her eyes, and
looked deliciously cool that glazing
desert day. Her parasol, of pongee,
was lined with the same baby hue.
Her dainty fairness and childish af-
liability should have made an oasis in
that strenuous day, but Richards dis
Indignation of temper was too com
plete. He rose stiffiy to meet her, and
his manner demanded her errand.
She told it to him, plaintively. Her
eyes were appealing, infantile. Would
1t be too much to ask, would Mr..
Richard mind in the least, he must be
perfectly frank and tell her If they
would be in the way at all, but while
this hot spell lasted, could they. the
three of them, eat in the mess tent
with the men?
Surely" Richard met it heartily.
She would find it rough, but if she
could stand it, yes, he thought it a
good idea
And then there was nothing for her
to do but GO Her retreat was grace
full, without haste, dignified. She
smiled farewell at MacLean, who
was watching the approach of Imes
Hardin and Estrada. Richard did not
see the aborted entrance of Eardin's
sister and the young Mexican. He
was itching to be at his work.
He let out growl when Mrs. Har-
din was out of earshot.

The main exhibition was q salts

men fought at about equal terms,

round, however. After the first rush,
Keller seemed unable to land. SAT-
re had him up against the ropes sew

blow to the jaw or head at will. When
the bell sounded Keller appeared
the same way. Toward the end,
Keller was leaning heavily on Safro
and was unable to ward OF the blows.
Keller staged a comeback in the
fourth and fifth. In these two rounds
he did his best work. He rushed in
as though refreshed, and got in sew
eral very effective punches. although
safro seemed little hurt by them. He
was especially effective at close fight
ing and in semi-clinches, getting In
good uppercuts. In the sixth round
they fought at equal terms. but in the
next two safro had everything hia
