CHAPTER VII.
A Garden In q Desert.

His dwelling leaped into sight NJ
Hardin turned the corner of the street,
There was but one street running
through the twin towns. fanked by the
bitches Of running water. The rest
were bitches Of running water edged
by footpaths. Scowling, he passed un-
der the overhanging bird cages Of the
Desert hotel without a greeting Tor the
lOungers. whose chairs were drawn I'M
against the shade Of the brick walls.
The momentum slackened as Hardia
neared the place he called his home.
An inner tenderness diluted the sneer
that disfigured his face. He could SEQ

Tom. He had 4 sudden vivid picture
OF her accusing martyrdom. His mouth
hardened again. lnnes. stopping over

1t came to Hardin suddenly that q

that. Wen have them shipped to the

will help u.s."
The meeting had already adjourned.
They were standing around the fiat
top desk. Estrada invited them all to
lunch with him. in the car on the sid.

back to Los Angeles. Mr.. Babcock

"Aiay speak to you about your boy.
Mr.. MucI.can?'
Hardin caught slight that was not
intended. He pushed past the group
at the door without civility or cere-
mOny.
The steady grave eyes of the big
frame looked at Richard inquiringly.

like to have your son to rely on for

MacLean's grave features relaxed a.
he looked down on the engineer, who
was NO small man himself, and sup.
gested that his son was not very well
up In stenography.
'That's the least Of It,"
II hope that he will make a GOOD
stenOgrapher! Good morning, gentle
men,"
At table. neither Estrada nor his
guest uncovered their active thought
which revolved around Hardin and his
hurt. Instead. Richard had questions
! to ask his host on river history. As
they talked. 1t came to him that some.
thing was amiss-Estrada was nc.

pulled him down in his seat.
Richard explained to the directors
the necessity in his opinion OF the spur
track and the quarry. Rock in great
quantities would be needed; cars must
be rushed In to the break. He urged
the importance of clenching the issue.

The other men were drawn into the
argument. BabcOck leaned toward Har.
din's conservation. MacLean was ju-
dicial. Estrada upheld Richard. The
spur-track. in his opinion. was essen
tial to success. Hardin could see the

Sugar Price Is Given
Another Boost in Lincoln

Lincoln, Sept. % Especial. y
Sugar has gone up one-half cent a
pound, according to orders issued
by. the Lancaster county food admin
istrator, which means that if one
can find it he can have it for II
cents per pound: and yet someone
has said that the Cruel war is over"
However, the price might as we'll
be nothing per pound as far as it is
doing Lincoln people any good, for
there is no sugar to be had today.
Notwithstanding that Nebraska is
making thousands of tons of sugar
in the state in its own Sugar fac
tories, it is allowed to be shipped
out, while the president of the
United States who kept US out of
war" and who ought to be making
war on the sugar trust, is spending
his time out in the wilds trying to
convince people that the United
States senate ought to approve his
league of hallucinations proposition.
