rapher in the transparent shirtwaist.
"Does he think we're going to have
another flood this season? Thinks it's
going to reach the hotel and wet his
clothes? Take the starch out Of his
shirts?" He flung out of his chair,
throwing the papers back into the
drawer.
He stamped out of the office, mad
clear through. To this crisis they had
sent down dandy, a bookman who
wanted to build levee. Oh, hell!
They'll come crawling after me to
help them after this fellows buried
himself under river mud, come calling
to me as they did after Maitland failed.
Please, Mr.. Hardin, won't you come
back and finish your gate! I'll see
them dead first. No, I'll be fool enough
to do it. I can't help myself. I'm a
Hardin. I have to finish what I've be-

1t was not because this was a pet
enterprise, the great work of his life,
that he must eagerly eat humble pie,
take the buffets, the falls, and come
whining back when they whistled to
him. He told himself it was because OF
his debt to the valley, to the ranchers.
The colonists were about desperate.

The district they called No. 6 was a
screaming irony of ruin. The last. de-
bauch of the river had made great
gashes through the ranches, had
secured deep gorges which had under
mined the canals on which the water
supply, for No. 6 depended. The suits
were piling up against the D. R., dam

Tom sat up glarlng. "He wrote to
you from Imperlal?"
His wife misplaced the accent. She
misunderstood Toms +scowl. 1t was
the old story over again. Whenever
those two men came together the old
feeling Of jealousy must be revived
again.! It was unpleasant, Of course,
very unpleasant, to have men care like
that, but it made life exciting. Life
had been getting a little stale lately p
like a book Of obvious, even plot.
Richards entrance into the story gave
new interest, new twist. She
hummed an air from a new opera that
had set the world waltzing. .s...
Hardfn's thoughts did not touch her
at the hem. He was at the headgate,
his gate. What the deuce had Rickard
gone to Imperial for? If he wasn't the
darnedest ass! Imperial! And the
gate hung up!- ..,---..

the fixed, determined smile still on her
lips.
