CHAPTER XVI.
Richard In Town.


The town woke to a matter-of-fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
runaway river had passed with the
night. The word spread that the flood
waters were under control; that the
men had gone home to sleep, so the
women got breakfast as usual, and
tidied their homes. The Colorado was
always breaking out, like a naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry of "The riverw fail to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted, and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit of swift
reaction.
That afternoon, Mrs. Youngberg was
to entertain at the A B @ ranch the
ladies Of the Improvement club. 1t
was Disqualification meeting, to
celebrate the planting of trees in the
streets of Calexico. and to plan the
campaign of their planting. Mrs.
Blinn drove into town to get Gerty
Hardin. Neither woman had seen her
husband since the interrupted drive
the night before.

Mrs. Hardin hesitated, her face turned
toward the A B G ranch. perhaps
there is something we could do"
81 have just come from the levee."
Mrs. Blinn's jolly face had lost its
apprehension. 1.-THE water has not
risen an inch since breakfast. Most of
the men have been sent home. When
Howard didn't come home to lunch, /
grew anxious. But Mr.. Richard says
he sent him to Fassett's with more
dynamite"
"There he is" thrilled Gerry.
Mrs. Blinn's eye swept the street,
"Where? Your husband?"
"No, Mr.. Richard. Passing the bank.
There, he's stopped. wonder If he is
going in? You call him, Mrs. Blinn."
Obediently her friend hailed Rick
ard. He turned back to the windy
street. He felt boyish; the crisis was
giving him mercurial feet. He loved
the modern battle. Elements to pit
ones brains against wits against
force!
Gerty Hardin's face was flushing
and paling. ''The river" she faltered.
Should we be alarmed, Mr.. Rickard?'
Smiling, he assured her she should
not be alarmed; the levees would pro-
tect the towns.
"Mr. Hardin is up at Fassett's
ranch, he viii be coming back today.
told your husband, Mrs. Blinn. to
catch nap and then relieve Mr.. Har-
din"
Gerry found a significance In his
words. He had said ''Mr. Hardin" and
"your husband, Mrs. Blinn." 1t was
enough to weave dreams around.
"We can't, do anything, Mr.. Richard.
to help?" urged Gerry Hardin, her
voice tremulous.
IT hope we won't have to call on you
at ALL"
There was no excuse to linger.
Gerty threw wistful little smile at
parting.

She took the road by the railroad

collided with a man, rounding the
sheds corner. 1t was Richard. Her
veil had slipped to her shoulders and
he saw her face.

"Whatever are you doing here?"
81 was looking for my brother"
"Yon ought not to be out at night

with every Indian in the country
coming in. I'll send Parrish with
YOU"
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. '1'm not going to let
you go home alone"
She blinked rebellion at the sup
planter of her brother. But she found
herself following Parrish. She took a
deep pride in her independence. her
fearlessness. Tom let her go 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 that! "They
don't like him. but they mind himp'
Richard made his way down to the
levee. "Where is Hardin?'' he asked
of every one he met. Silent came up
to explain that Hardin had gone up to
Fassett's just a few minutes ago to
carry dynamite. The river was cut
ting back there. "Good," cried Rick
ard, that's bully!"
HE left me in charge" glibly lied
the friend of Hardin. "Any orders,
sir?'
Things are going all right?" began
the manager. He stopped. From
above came dull roar.
Dynamite !" cried Richard.
The friend Of Hardin had nothing
to say. 81 thought you said he went
only a few minutes ago?" demanded
his chief.
There was another defamation. Down
the river came the booming Of the Sec
ond charge.
That's dynamite for sure" evaded
Silent.
"Not minute too soon!" declared
Richard, going back to his inspection.

FAMOUS ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
Great Britain Has So Strongly Forth
fled It That 1t Is Rightly Con-
sidered Impregnable.

Since the day, more than 200 years
ago, when the flag of Great Britain was
flung out over Gibraltar, the strong
est fortress in the world, that country
has won many triumphs In commerce
and has become mistress of the seas.
The rock of Gibraltar Is 1,400 feet
high and across the narrow bay may
be seen the coast of Africa only nine
miles away. The rock is nearly three
miles long and about half a mile
broad. On the eastern side the cliff Is
so steep that nothing but monkey
can scale it, and there is colony
Of monkeys living there, the only an
imals of their kind living wild in
Europe.
The only possible approach to the
rock is by land from the north, or
from the sea on the western side. AS
viewed from the ocean the Rock of
Gibraltar Is impressive, strong, gloomy
and forbidding. But flowers grow about
the steep walls. The great Victoria
batteries, occasionally fred, are
screened and sheltered by acacia
blossoms. Here are concealed 1O0-ton
guns, sinister, threatening. The north
and northwest sides are honeycombed
by Notifications. There is town and
harbor on the west, protected by bat
teries and forts rising from the base
to the summit of the rock. Modern
guns of the most formidable pattern
frown from the heights. The town Is
inhabited by british colony Of about
25,0O0 people. Everything is under
strict military regulation.
