Of Attorney-Genera Renhardt applying to the judges

II is significant that Senator's Gore, Reed, Smith ana

 The camp formed hollow trape- zium; the Hardins' tents, and Mrs. Dowker's, were isolated on the short parallel. Richards ramada and his tent were huddled with the engineers. Across, toward the river, behind Lings mesquites, began another polygon, the camp of foremen and white labor. Some of these tents were empty.
 .Is this Mexico, or the States?" asked Innes.
 "Mexico." She wondered why he halted so abruptly. She did not see. for the glare in her eyes, woman's skirt in the ramada they approached.
 Estrada marched on.
 Outside the ramada, the two women met. Gerty's step carried her past like high-bred horse. Her high heels cut into the hard sand There was a suggestion of prance in her mien. She waved her hand gayly at the two. cried, "How hot it isl" and passed on.
 Innes saw Rickard at his long pine table used for a desk.
 ''I can sec it all from here." Not for money would the sister of Tom Har- din go in!
 At table, that evening, her family heard with surprise Gerty's announce ment that they were to eat in the mess tent with the men. It was too hot to cook any longer; this had been one of the hottest days in the year.
 She expected to hear protest to the new arrangement from Tom. She was to see a new development-sullen resignation. If he would accept 1t, she must not argue. Both sister and broth CT knew why it was too warm to cook any longer.

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. her should recommend her!
 Rickard had seen her making straight toward the ramada. It was not the first time; her efforts to line her nest had involved them all and often. But today, he was In bad humor.
 "iaor the Lords sake," he groaned to MacLean as she approached.
 MacLean's grin covered relief. He had never heard Rickard 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 bet up on the outcome. He grinned more securely.
