CHAPTER XXVi.

The river was low; it's yellow wa ters bore the look of oriental dupIicity- Each day was now showing it's prog ress. The two ends of the trestle were creeping across the stream from their brush aprons. 4 few weeks of work, at the present rate, and the gap would be closed, Hardin's big gate in it; the bypass ready; the trap set for the Colorado The tensity of a last spurt was in the air.
 It was inspiring activity, this biting of mans cumulative skill against an elemental force. No Caucasian mind which did not jingle, feel the privi- leged thrill of it. To the stolid native this day of well-paid toll was his miI' 1ennium, the fulfllment of the prophecy. His gods had so spoken, Food for his stomach, liquor for his 6tupefaction the white mans money laid in a brown hand ,ach Sunday morning was what the great gods fore spoke. The completion of the work, the white mans victory, would be an end of the fat time. Hasten? Why should they, and shorten their day of opportunity?

Coronel, silently squatting near the Nxhites, jabbering his primitive Es- Deranto to the tribes, His friendship with the white chiefs, his age and nat tral leadership gave him a unique DO sition in both camps. Assiduously Rickard cultivated the old Indian who erouched days through by the bank of the river.
 The engineers felt the whip of ex citement. Never man left the camp in the morning who did not look to. ward that span crawling across the treacherous stream, measure that bwidened bypass. Would the gate stand? The Hardin men halloed foI the gate, but looked each morning tc see if it were still there. The Reclama stion Service men and the engineers oi the railroad were openly skeptical eSisyphus outdone at his own game fEstrada and Rickard looked furtively Int the gate, with doubt at each other.
 Hardin, himself, was repressed, ar eager live wire. His days he spent or the river; his nights, long hours o1 them, open-eyed, on his back, watching sthe slow-wheeling, star-pricked dome of desert sky. His was the suspense of the man on trial; this was hi; trial; Gerty, Rickard, the valley, his fudge and jury. The gate grew to bt a symbol with him of restored honor an obsession of desire.

 'She washes for the men. I'm go- ing to ask hex to do my khakis for me. Perhaps this woman would be willing to do all our lauudry?"
 Gerty. had been wondering what she would say to Innes. The speech which needed only an introduction was stirred into the open.
 "You must not" her voice trembled with anger. you must not ask that woman. She is not to be spoken to-"
 The girl asked her bIuntly what she meant.
 You must not give her your wash fng-must not speak to Der. I've not mentioned it before. IT hoped it would not be necessary. Tom told me not to speak of it.
 From told you not to speak of 1t? Not to speak of what?"
 You must have observed-Mr. Rick ard?"
 The girls ear did not catch the short pause. "Observed Mr. Rickard 2" "The coolness between us. I scarce ly speak to him. I don't wish to speak to him.
 When had all this happened, Innes demanded of herself? Had she been asleep, throwing pity from outdated dreams?
 T won't Countenance a common af- fair like that" Her eyes. sparkling with anger. suggested jealous wrath to Innes, who had her first hint of tho story. She had learned never to take the face value of her sisters verbal coin; it was only 8 symbol of value; it stood for something else.
 The yellow eyes were on the dred2e bucket as it swung across the channel. but they did not register. She was angry, outraged; she did not know with whom. With Gerty for telling her with Rickard. with life that lets sucE things be. She jumped up. "Oh, stop it!' She rushed out of the tent, fol lowed by strange bitter smile that brought age to the face of Gerty Hac- din.
 In her own tent, Innes found excuse for her lack Of self-conrol. She did not like the color of scandal; she hated sInudge. Gerty had said the whole camp knew it; knew why tle Mexican woman was in campl SEa did Tot trust Gerty in anything else why should she trust her tn tEaC2 She would forget Gerty's gossip.
 But she remembered it wildly that week as she washed her own llhakis as she bent over the ironing board in Gcrty's sweItering "kitchenette." She thought of it as she returned Rick ards bow in the mess tent the next morning; each time they met she thought of it. And it was in her mind when she met Sonora Maldonado by the river one day, and made a sudden wide curve to avoid having to speak to her.

Don't Yell at Fellow Who
Burns Liuhts in Daytime

MANY motorists do not know that
there is as much danger in letting
their batteries get overchargcd as
there is in letting the charge run
too low. Overcharging is very
likely to happen during long runs
when the car is operated at 20 to Is
miles an hour for a number OF
hours continuously. At this speed
the generator is delivering current
to the battery at its. maximum
charging rate, according to F. s.
Armstrong, sales manager of the
Vesta Accumulator Co., rnanufac-
turer of Vesta Storage Batteries.
An overcharged battery heats, with
the result that the active material in
the plates loosens and falls to the
bottom Of the battery, shortening its
life. Most cars have automatic cut
out in the electrical system which is
supposed to prevent over-charging,
but this, like many automatic de-
vices, metimes fails to work at the
proper time.
The safe way is to burn your
lights, at least part OF the time,
when on long drive. This takes
the load off the battery and in
sures against overcharging.

GOODS SOLD TO
PREVENT WASTE
SAYS RED CROSS
Plain and Full Statement
Made to Refute False
Rumors of Sales
In France.

Paris, Sept. I.-Because MANY in
accurate reports of large sales of
American Red Cross merchandise
have appeared in the past few weeks
Red Cross headquarters in Paris has
issued statement explaining that
the only materials which have been
sold are certain perishables, second
hand equipment, surplus stocks and
articles which can no longer be used
for direct relief work, either in
France or in eastern Europe.
The total sales of surplus and sec
ond-hand material by the American
Red Cross in Europe will aggregate
not more than 100000 francs, SAYS
the Red Cross, while the value of
the relief material distributed in
Europe during July and August
alone will amount to more than i0O,-
100000 francs.
In Seventeen Countries.
The American Red Gross is now
conducting operations in II Euro
pean countries. The relief material
distributed in France, mainly in the
devastated districts, since the armis-
tice, is valued at over 125,00OOO0
francs, while in the same period
other European countries have re-
ceived more than 200,000,000 francs
worth of similar supplies, including
not only medical and surgical ma
terial, but also clothing, food, bar
racks, etc.
Such sales as have been author
lied in France have been conducted
through the American Red Cross
liquidation board. The official state
ment says regarding this material:
Heavy Polish Expenses.
Unexpectedly heavy expenses of
work in Poland and the Balkan
states and the beginnings of new re-
lief activities in western and south
ern Russia made it advisable to turn
these stocks into cash to assist the
relief programs, as we'll as to save
certain of the accumulated stocks
from total loss.
''Of all the relief material in the
American Red Cross warehouses on
May | one-third was set aside for
distribution in the devastated dis
tricts of France. The distribution
of this material is still continuing
and will continue for months to
come, while the shipments Of relief
material to the commissions in east
ern Europe are on a constantly in
creasing scale and will continue thus
for nany months"

It is often difficult to start by
hand the small screws such as are
used in magnetic, speedometer, etc.
An easy way around this difficulty
is to hold the screws between the
legs of pair of ca1ipers, drawing

then driven home by the small

used in replacing small nuts located

OCEAN ABOUT 90 (
 MILLION YEARS OLD

How old is the ocean? Standing on the shore and looking out over the ex- panse of water, the ocean seems a fixed and eternal fact, but the seas had beginning and will have an end. Scientists say that when this time comes the last drop of water will have been absorbed into the earth's crust, it's surface will be desert and all life will become extinct.
 The age of the oceans has been esti- mated by leading authority, Prof. Frank Clarke of the United States Geological survey, a about 9O,O00, ,OO0 years. This, of course, is only an ap- proximation, but is based on carefully studied scientific data. All the water was once contained in the vapor that surrounded the glowing, slowly cooling mass which is now the earth. After the gases combined to form water, the process of making the ocean salt be-

Loses Platinum Mines

After number of years of litiga- tion in the courts and before the local land office the application of Ralph H Cameron for patent to certain min ing claims in the Tusayan National Forest (the Grand Canyon) reserve has been denied by the general land office at Washington. MT. Cameron claimed that the mines contained val uable ores of platinum and assays taken by the government sixteen years ago were placed in evidence. At that time it was shown that there was not a trace of the metal in the ores, or at least it was determined that there
 was not enough of that or any other metal to entitle the claimant to patent.
