CHAPTER XVIII.
A Discovery.

u
The murder OF Maldonado shook the
camp next morning. Three rurales, in
brilliant trappings, rode up to Rick
ards ramada. The leader, entering
the office, announced that they were
on the track of criminal, the muir
derer of rurale, Maldonado. He was
an Indian named Felipe. He repeated
the story Richard had, heard before.
Would the senior give his respected
permission for notices to be posted
about the camp? A description of the
Indian, reward for his capture: the
favor would be inestimable.
Richard saw the notice later that
day. 1t was nailed to the back plat

He was looking at her. Suppose any

hurt her-and then he knew how it
was with him!
He looked at her gravely. OF course.
He had known it long time. 1t was
true. She was going to belong to him.
If that brute had hurt her!
She shrank under his gravity; this
was something she did not understand.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Sunday Spectacle.

Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before it was recognized. Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
heady, the white mans silver acting
like wine. Few of the braves had
dreamed Of ever possessing sums of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Richard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was day of feasting,
followed by a gorged sleep; the next
day one of languor, of growing inco-
hesion.
Richard spoke of 1t to Coronel.
"Like small baby" hunched the old
shoulders. Happy baby. Pretty soon
STOP"
With the next wages went repri-
mand, then warning. Still followed
bad Mondays. Richard then issued a
formal warning TO all the tribes.
"The situation with the Indians is
serious" said Richard to MacLean.
They're getting liquor in here, some
way, the Lord only knows how. Any
way, they're not fit for burning Mon
day morning. I've just sent them word
by Coronel that it's got to quit, or they
do"
Suppose they do?" MacLean was
startled. Not ON Indian could be
spared at that stage of the game.
Bluff" Richard got up. "They
won't take the chance of losing that
money. I'm off now to the Crossing.
I'll leave you in charge here"
The next morning Wooster broke in
to the ramada where MacLean sat
clicking his typewriter.
"Everything's up. Richards done it
now. Sent some alfred, independent
kindergarten orders to the Indians.
Says they have to be in bed by ten
o'clock, or some such hour on Satur-
day and Sunday nights. It's strike,
their answer. That's what his monkey
ing has brought down on u.s."
They're not going to quit?"
They've sent word they won't work
on Mondays, and they will go to bed
when they choose Saturday nights.
Losing one day week! We can't
stand for that. Luck's been playing
into his hands, but this will show him
ap. This'll shcw Marshall his pet
clerk. Tell Casey there'll be no In
dams tomorrow" He sputtered an
.grily out of the office.
Richard seemed pleased when Mac
Lean made the announcement q few
hours later.
His secretary was weighing him.
''What do you intend to do about it?'
"Call their bluff" grinned Casey,
showing teeth tobacco had not had a
chance to spoil. Boycott them"
MacLean found Wooster at the river
bank with Tom Hardin. The two men
were watching a pile-driver set re-
bellious pile. Two new trestles were
to supplement the one which had been
bent out Of line by the weight Of set
Ting drift. Marshall's plan was being
followed, though jeered at by reclama-
ton nen and the engineers Of the d.
II. company.
"Stop the mattress weaving and
dump like hell" had been his orders.
Boycott the Indians, well I'm
bowed" the beady eyes sparkled at
Hardin. .'Now he's cut his own
throat"
"By the eternal !" swore Hardin.
MacLean left the two engineers match
ing oaths.
There was an ominous quiet the next
day. Not an Indian offered to work at
the river. A few stolid bucks came to
their tasks on Tuesday morning; they
were told by Richard himself that
there was no work for them. Richard
appeared ignorant Of the antagonism
Of the engineers.

Ancient Time Recorders.

Perhaps the first reference to at
tempts to reckon time by mechanical
means is found in Isaiah 1873, written
supposedly about 713 B. c., "the sur
dial of Ahaz." Pliny says that Anaxi
mander invented sun dial about 55C
B. G. The first sun dial at Rome was
placed in the Temple of Quirinus
about 298 B. c., when time was divided
into hours. The clepsydra, or water
clock, was the next time recorder in

A Quentin Anecdote.
White House. April

White House, April %, 1906.
Dear Kermit: Ted has been as good
and cunning as possible. He has COM
pletely recovered from the effects of
having his eye operated upon, aad
though the eye itself is a somewhat
gruesome object, Ted is in the highest
spirits. He goes back to Harvard
today.
AS I write Archie and Quentin are
busily engaged in the sand-box and I
look out across the tennis grounds at
them. If ever there was a heaven sent
treas to small boys, that sand box
is the treasure. It was very cunning
to see the delight various little chill
dren took in it at the egg-rolling on
Easter Monday. Thanks to our decision
| in keeping out grown people and stop
ping everything at ! o'clock, the egg
rolling really was a childrens festival
and was pretty and not Objectionable
this year.
The apple trees are now coming
into bloom, including that big arched
apple tree. under which mother and
sit, by the fountain. on the stone
bench. Tt is the apple tree mother
particularly likes.
Did Quentin write his poems after
you had gone? I never can recoliect
whether you have seen them or not.
He is a funny small person il ever
there was one. The other day We were
discussing a really dreadful accident
which had happened; a Georgetown
young man having taken out young
girl in a canoe on the river, the canoe
upset and the girl was drowned;
whereupon the young man, when he
got home, took what seemed to us an
exceedingly cold looded method of a
special delivery letter to notify her
parents. We were expressig our horror
at his sending a special delivery let
| ter and Quentin solemnly chimed in
with, Yes, he wasted ten cents
There was a moments eloquent silence
and then we strove TO explain to
Quentin that what we We're Directing
to was not in the least the young
mans spendthrift attitude,
AS I walk to and from the office now
the terrace is fairly fragrant with the
scent of the many-co1ored hyacinths
which mother has put out in boxes
on the low stone walls.
