CHAPTER TX.
The Rivals.

From the window of the adobe office
Richard jump from the rear platform
of the train as it slowed into the sta
ton. He noticed that the new mana
ger carried no bag.
"Wonder what he's decided to do
about the headgate He didn't waste
much time out there" Hardin was
fdgeting in his seat, his eyes on the
approaching figure.
Richard passed through the room,
nOdding to his office force. The door
of the inner office shut behind him.
Hardin stared at the blank surface. He
moved reStlesSly in his swivel chair.
Did the fellow think big thing like
that could hang on while he unpacked
his trunks and settled his bureau draw

the paper of his report. He covered
the sheet with fgures-three hundred

who had sent down one of his office

three hundred to six hundred feet. For
that, they throw muu at me. Oh, it

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
IN their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is - infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
fiavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest.
most wholesome, and delicious of ali
Havorlngs-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco.
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

story of the old rivalry, glanced COW
'rtly at Tom sulking at the head of

his gate. What the deuce had Richard
gone to Imperial for? If he wasn't the
darnedest ass! Imperial! And the
gate hung up!
For Gods sake stop that buzzing !"
The happy little noise was quenched.
Innes. entering at that moment, heard
the rough order. She looked implor-
ingly at her sister-in-law.
"Supper's on the table," cried Gerty,
the fixed, determined smile still on her
lips.

them.
Innes had with difficulty restrained
a denial. After all, what other home
had she? Still the truth had been de-
Elected. She recalled the sacrifice it
had been to cut her college course in
order to make a home in the desert
For the brother VINO had always SO
gently fathered her, who had helped
her invest her smell capital that it
might spell d small income. She re-
called his resistance when she had

yearn to help? Not a Hardin. She
still gloried in remembering that she
had at least driven one pile into that
rebelious stream, even If when she
left the valley it would be as a bread
winner. She was prepared. She was

TIN taking orders."
There was another awkward mo-
ment when Hardin pushed back his
plate declaring he had reached mis-
limit; it was too big a spread for him!
1t was the stupid rudeness of the
small bad boy even Innes flushed for
her sister-in-law.
With resolution Gerty assumed con-
troll of the conversation. Her role
sounded casual; no one could have
suspected it of frequent rehearsal.
They must not talk of the river; that
was taboo. Railroad matters were
also excluded. Equally difficult
would be "reminiscences of Lawrence
Lays. SO she began brightly with
current book. The theater proved
safe topic. and by that natural route
they reached New York. Innes, who
had never been farther east than Chi
cngo. was grateful to play audience.
Hardin. who knew his New York per-
haps better than either, refused to be
lrawr into the gentle stream.
Things must be kept sprightly. Had
=. Richard met many of the valley
people? And it was then that she
threw her bomb toward the listening,
silent Hardins. She would like Mr..
Richard to meet some Of their friends.
He said that he would be delighted,
but that he was planning to leave
shortly for the Heading.
"Of course" She did not give her
husband time to speak. She meant
afterward! She was planning to give
something bit novel in his honor.
She refused to see the glare from the
angry man in his outgrown dinner
coat. She did not glance toward the
sister. What did Mr.. Richard think
about progressive ride?
at sounds very entertaining, but
what do you doY'
There was a loud guffaw from Tom.
With deepened color Gerty told her

ne could meet all the guests.
