CHAPTER XVI.
Rickard In Town.

The town woke to q matter-of- fact
day. The sensational aspect of the
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 1.-The riverl" fail to drag the
blood from their cheeks. But relief
always came; the threatened danger
was always averted, and these pioneer
women had acquired the habit of swift
reaction.
That afternoon, Mrs. Youngberg was

Mrs Blinn's jolly face had lost its
apprehension. 1.-The water has not

the men have been sent home. When
Howard didn't come home to lunch, l
grew anxious. But Mr.. Richard says
he sent him to Fassett's with more
dynamite
There he isl thrilled Gerty.
Mrs. Blinns eye swept the street.
"Where? Your husbandT'

There, he's stopped. / wonder if he is
going in? You call him, Mrs. Blinn."
Obediently her friend hailed Rick

SHOULD we be alarmed. Mr.. Rickard?"
Smiling, he assured her she should
not be alarmed; the levees would pro-
tect the towns.
MIR. Hardin is up at Fassett's
ranch, he will be coming back today.
I told your husband, Mrs. Blinn, to
catch a nap and then relieve Mr.. Har-
din"
Gerry found a significance in his
words. He had said "Mr. Hardin" and
"your husband, Mrs. Blinn." 1t was
enough to weave dreams around.
I'VE can't do anything, Mr.. Richard,

voice tremulous.

at ALL
There was no excuse to linger.
Gerty threw wistful little smile at
parting.

FAMOUS ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
Great Britain Has So Strongly Forti-
fed 1t That 1t Is Rightly Con-
sidered Impregnable.

Since the day, more than 200 years
ago, when the flag of Great Britain was
flung out over Gibraltar, the strong
est fortress In the world. that country
has won many triumphs in commerce
and has become mistress of the seas.
The rock of Gibraltar is 1 400 feet
high and across the narrow bay may
be seen the coast of Africa only nine
miles away. The rock is nearly three
miles long and about half mile
broad. On the eastern side the cliff is
SO steep that nothing but monkey
can scale it. and there is a colony
of monkeys living there. the only an
finals of their kind living wild in
Europe.
The only possible approach to the
rock is by land from the north, or
from the sea on the western side. As
viewed from the ocean the Rock of
Gibraltar Is impressive, strong, gloomy
and forbidding. But flowers grow about
the steep walls. The great Victoria
batteries, occasionally fired, are
screened and sheltered by acacia
blossoms. Here are concealed 100-ton
guns sinister, threatening. The north
and northwest sides are honeycombed
by Notifications. There is a town and
harbor on the west. protected by bat
teries and forts rising from the base
to the summit of the rock. Modern
guns of the most formidable pattern
frown from the heights. The town is
inhabited by british colony of about
%, 900 people. Everything is under
strict military regulation.
