The second night of the flood, the
women of the towns dragged brush
and filed sacks for the men to carry.
1t was past midnight when Innes Har-
din left the levee. While her feet and
fingers had toiled, her mind had been
fretting over Tom. Two nights, and
no rest 1t was told by men who came
down the river how Hardin was hero

him; perhaps he would stop for a few
hours to her entreaty. But an uncer-
tain trail across country, with the
dust-laden wind in her face? She de-
cided to wait for the dawn. A snatched
sleep first, but who would call her? ?
She would sleep for hours, so weary

as the only man In town who had
time to saddle a horse for a woman.
She went in search of him. She
found thGt the long adobe office build
ing had already taken on the look of
defeat, of ruin. The easements had
been torn from the partitions; the
doors and windows were out. The fur
niture had been hauled up to high
ground farther away for safety. She
went hunting through the ghoulish
gloom for the darky, turning her Ian
tern in every dark corner. She knew
that she would find him sleeping.
Then she heard steps on the veranda.
She ran toward them. expecting to see
Sam. She swung her lantern full on
two figures mounting the shallow
steps. Kickrrd was with her sister,
in-law.
"Oh, excuse Eaei' she blurted blum

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 riveri' fail to drag the

step. Crank her."
There was nothing for Silent to do
but to get out. Hardin pointed the
long nose of the car into the darkness.
She was off like the greyhound she

half an inch.

She could hear the signal of the To-

could hear the pant of the engine as

the junction, two hundred feet below

level of the sea. 1t quickened her
thought of the power of the river.
Nothing between 1t and the tracks at
Salton. Nothing to stop Its flow into
that spectacular new sea whose basin
did not need drop of the precious
misguided flow. She could hear the
bells; now the train was coming into

Silent. She did not want to meet

No one saw her as she left the levee.
She passed Silent, who was issuing or

not listen to her. I'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 thatl '1They
