Again, the shout went up. Answer

"We withdraw the claims against

den hush. The first blood had been

Once more Babcock's glasses swept
the house. He raped the table.
"That's not all. We've got more to

Marshall stepped forward to ST.

CHAPTER xvIII-contInued.

His eyes glued to the lurching sta
tion-house, Babcock took n brown
paper-rolled cigarette from the prof
fered box.
Look" he cried. "There. she'll go.
See that"
There was a splash of splintering
timber; Niagara of spray as the
building fell into the flood. A minute
later. wreckage of painted boards
was floating downstream.
At table Babcock resumed his cam
paign. "The trouble with you all,
you have cold feet. You're all scared
Off too soon."
Wooster, up from his nap. looked
across the table. "Cold feet7 So

nights, wetting your feet on the levee.

was n message from Rickard. A car
was to be rigged up, papers, tickets
and express matter taken from the
station. The river was cutting close
to the track. The car would be the
terminal, half-mile from town.
The situation looked black. Coul-
ter, Eggers, began to pack their stock.
The levee, II was said, would not hold

would go next. Richards Indians

word ran, would be the fierce night

breath. There was some sleep that
night.
The next day. the nerves of the val
ley relaxed. The river was not cut
ting back. The men at the levee
cropped their shovels. and went back
to the discussion of their lawsuits.
Their crops were ruined: too much
water. or too little. Whatever way
they had been hurt, the company
would have to pay for It!
A small shift guarded the river.
Rickard, in his room at the Desert
hotel, and Hardin up the river, slept
day and night without waking. The
chair-tilters picked up their argument
where they had left 1t; was the rail-
road reaping harvest of damage
suits when they should be thanked
instead? Faraday. the newspapers
reported, was trying to shift his re-
spousibi!ity; he had appealed to the

ence, he would not be involved in this
situation. 1 think you will grant that
1t is Mr.. Faraday's company which
can save the valley?"
ITO save its own tracks r. yelled a
voice from the balcony.
Marshall sent a soft smile heaven
ward. Incidentally. And its traffic.
Why don't you say It? We don't deny
that. The Overland Pacific's no altru-
ist."
There was jeer which rose into a
chorus. "Altruist! Octopus. That's
what 1t is"
Marshnll's hand went up. "If you
want to hear me?" He waved away
Babcock's descending gavel. II was
told it would cost two hundred thou
sand dollars to close that break of
yours. Do you want the actual fig
ures? 1t has eaten already million.
and the work is not yet done. You
know the history of the undertaking.
The Desert Reclamation company was
In straits. Faraday promised his help
on the condition that the affairs of
the Desert Reclamation company
would be controlled by his company.
He took the control. He inherited
what? Not good will. Threats, DAM
| age suits. Do you think that snow
slide of complaints is going to encour-
| age him to go on? This is what came
here to talk to you about. You ranch
ers don't want to cut your own throats.
Now. there's a good deal going on
about which you are in the dark.
Faraday's got right to feel he's
shouldered an old man of the sea.
He's been trying to dislodge 1t. He's
appealed to the president. Ever since
we came into this, the cry from Wash
ington has been. DO this the way we
like, or we'll not take 1t OF your
hands," A murmur of angry voices
started somewhere, swelling toward
the balcony.
1--WE don't want the government
began the rising voices. Marshalrs
voice rang out:
'But the government wants-you
Unless you will help save your own
homes, the government,will have to, In
time. It's got to. Up there at Laguna,
have you seen it7 There's nothing 60
Ing on. They're watching u.s. That's q
useless toy If our works are washed
out. Faraday says this to you" Not
a sound in the stilled house. "Unless
you withdraw your damage suits, he
won't advance another damned cent
Sharply he sat down before the au-
dience realized that his message was
finished. The house had not found Its
voice. when Babcock's gavel was
pounding again for attention. The
question. he felt, had not been put to
them completely. Perhaps. they did
not gather the full import Of Mr.. Mar
shall's message. Mr.. MacLean would
follow Mr.. Marshall.
AacLean's superb figure rose from
tree-paneled background.
"He should sing Brown October
Ale.'" suggested Brandon to Hardin
humorously.
Hardin's eyes were on MacLean.
What did he know about 1t? What
could he tell those men that they did
not know? MacLean was f1gurehead
in the reorganized irrigation company.
Why hadn't they called on him. Har-

bought which will keep all cutting
tools in good order7 If there is any
one thing which will cause one to use
knife.
A tray to remove food and dishes
from the dining table or to carry it to
the table Is great saving of steps.
If one cannot afford to buy wheeled
tray or tea wagon get the handy man
to make you one, using the small
wheels from an old gocart. A wire
dish drainer is light and can be used
as tray If no other is at hand, for 1t
Is easy to carry.
Paper or wooden trays or plates
make fine dishes to use In the ice box,
for they do not break and may be re-
newed often at little expense.
Paper of all kinds saves dish wash
Ing. Wipe out the greasy dishes with
piece of soft paper before putting
them into the dish water. Keep the
table wiped up with paper, saving the
dishcloth for stains and grease.
A kitchen table covered with zinc or
some hard surface that does not need
securing to keep clean is most neces-
sary kitchen convenience. Some good
scales, good clock, kitchen cabinet
with everything at hand to use in
cookery, are all necessary equipment
Keep bottle of kerosene near the
sink, and when 1t is dry wipe out with
cloth dampened with kerosene; 1t
Will keep clean without securing. Re-
peated scourings with various cleaning
powders will ruin the surface, so that
1t becomes rough and stains easily.
Have stool that will slip under
the table when not needed and use 1t
to sit on while preparing vegetables
or doing many kinds of work. 1t will
be found great saving on tired feet.
One can learn to wash and wipe dishes
and iron sitting on stool. Have
rung on which to rest the feet to
change ones position.
A small. simple old rocking chair
in the kitchen will save many break
down. Drop into 1t while doing va
rlous things and relax when possible.
Keep card index of recipes in the
kitchen In a convenient place to use
