Farmers who handle considerable
quantities Of produce find it profitable
to use printed wrappers. The use Of
two or more cOlorS in printing these
adds to the expense but often is justi-
fled by results. Others who do not
feel they can afford printed wrappers
may find it worth while to have neatly
printed business cards for insertion In
each package sent out. Another sim

lowing had been the brightest of his
life. He was sure then that Gerty
loved him. The wrangles were only
their different ways Of looking at
things. OF course, they loved each
other. But Gerty couldn't stand pio-
neer life. She had loved him. or she
would not so easily have been per-
suaded to try 1t over again. She
yearned to make him comfortable, she
said. So she had gone back, and pulled
down his ramada, and put his clothes
in the lowest bureau drawer!

ruminated. "It was the fault OF the in.

CHAPTER VIII.
Under the Veneer.

An hour later Innes, blinking from
the sun, stepped into the tent, which
had been partitioned with rough red
wood boards into bed chamber on
the right, combination dining room
and "parlor" on the left. Her glance
Immediately segregated the three
stalks of pink geraniums In the center
Of the Mexican drawn-work cloth that
covered the table. Gerty, herself, In q
fresh pink gingham frock, was dancing
around the table to the tune Of forks
and spoons. 1t was just like Gerty to
dress up to her setting, even though 1t
were only pitiful water-starved bou-
quet. She had often tried to analyze
her sister-in-law's hold on her brother;
certainly they were not happy. Was 1t
because she made him comfortable?
Was 1t the little air Of formality, or
mystery, which she drew around her?
Her rooms when Innes was allowed to
enter them were always fiawless;
Gerty took deep pride In her house
keeping. Why was it, Innes wondered.
that she could never shake Off her sus-
picion Of an underlying untidiness?
There was always q closed door on
Gerty's processes.
MAY l help?" The sun was still
yellowing the room to her.
"Hello" Hardin looked up from
the couch where he was lying. Innes
suspected 1t Of being frequent re-
treat. She had found 1t tumbled once
when she ran over early. 1t was then
that Gerty made 1t understood that she
liked more formality. Innes was rare
ly In that tent except for meals now,
or during her alternating week Of
house chores.

girl. ,.4
Lunch will be ready in few min

nal. Sam came to clean this morning,
and I couldn't get to the lunch until
an hour ago."
Innes, settling herself by the reading
table, caught herself observing that Il
would not have taken her inn hour TO
get cold lunch. Still, II would never
look so inviting! II Gerty's domestic
machinery was complicated and pri-
vate. the results always were admir-
able. The early tomatoes were peeled
as well rs sliced, and were lying on a
bed Of cracked ice. The ripe black
olives were resting in q lake Of Cali
fornia olive oil. A bowl Of crisp let
tuce had been Iced and carefully dried.

A Desert Dinner.

Innes Hardin was completing her
simple toilet. Not even to please
Gerty would she 'dress up" for the
dinner. It would have been easy for
her sister-in-law to postpone It. How
could she expect Tom to go through
with It'll She couldn't understand

take the buffets, the falls. and come
whining back when they whistled to
him. He told himself 1t was because Of
bis debt to the valley, to the ranchers.
IThe colonlsts were about desperate.
Who could blame them? The last years
floods had worked havoc with their
crops; this year had been a horror.
The district they called No. 9 was q
screaming irony of ruin. The last de-
bauch of the river had made great
gashes through the ranches, had
secured deep gorges which\had UNDER
mined the canals on which the water
supply for No. 9 depended. The suits
were piling up against the d. R., dam
age suits, and they hold up his gate,
while he gets the curses Of the val
ley. And Mr.. Rickard thinks he'll
build levee!
| He flung himself on the couch In the
tent. Gerty was laying a careful
cloth for supper. A brave, determined
| smile was arranged on her lips. The
noon storm had passed. She hummed
] gay little tune. If there was anything
Hardin hated 1t was humming.
"You'll have your dude to dinner all
right" her husband announced. "He's
in town."
"Yes, I know" rejoined his spouse.
81 had letter from him yesterday.
From Imperial"
Tom sat up glaring. "He wrote to
you from Imperialf"
His wife misplaced the accent. She
misunderstood Toms scowl. It was
the old story over again. Whenever
those two men came together the old
feeling Of jealousy must be revived
again 1t was unpleasant, Of course,
very unpleasant, to have men care like
that, but 1t made life exciting. Life
had been getting little stale lately
like q book Of obvious, even plot.
Richards entrance into the story gave
q new interest, q new twist. She
hummed an air from new opera that
had set the world waltzing.
lardin's thoughts did not touch her
at the hem. He was at the headgate.
his gate. What the deuce had Rickard
gone to Imperial for? II he wasn't the
darnedest asst Imperiali And the
gate hung upl
"For Gods sake stop that buzzingl"
The happy little noise was quenchedl
Innes, entering at that moment, heard
the rough order. She looked implor-
ingly ut her slster-in-law.
"Supper's on the table," cried Gerty,
the fixed, determined smile still on her
lips.

CHAPTER TX.
The Rivals.

From the window Of the adobe Office
building Of the company, Hardin saw
Rickard jump from the rear platform
of the train as 1t 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
fidgeting in his seat, his eyes on the
approaching figure.
Rickard 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
