Estrada marched on.
Outside the ramada, the two women
met. Gerty's step carried her past
like high-bred horse. Her high heels
cut into the hard sand. There was O
suggestion of prance in her mien. She

A White Woman and a Brown.

A White Woman and a Brown.
For a few weeks Mrs. Hardin found
the mess tent diverting. Before the
Delta had expanded the capacity of
the camp her soft nook had been over
taxed, her hospitality strained. The
men Of the reclamation service, thrown
into temporary inactivity, were eager
to accept the opportunity created for
another. Failing that other, her zeal
had tagged. Events were moving
quickly at the break; Richard was alb
sorbed. Mrs. Hardin told herself that
it was the heat she wished to escape ;
not to her own ear did she whisper
that she was following Richard, nor
that the percolator and chatting dish,
her shelves and toy kitchen were q
wasted effort. She kept on good terms
with herself by ignoring seIf-confi-
dences.
Richard, the discovery unfolded
slowly, took his meals irregularly. His
breakfast was gulped down before the
women appeared; his dinners where
he found them.

din. "Llng's cooking is so bad" Small
wonder the manager foraged for his
meals.
She worked out a mission as she
lay across her bed that hot afternoon,
Her duty became so clear that she
could no longer lie still. Immediately
she must retrieve her weeks Of idle
ness; what must Richard think of her
She buttoned herself thoughtfully into
frock of pale eolored muslin, cream
slipping toward canary. White was

CHAPTER XXI.
A Visit to MaIdonade.

Mrs. Hardin's descent on the office
that afternoon was successful, but not
satisfactory. She had found the man
ager brief to curtness. She was given
no excuse to linger. She traced Rick
ards manner to the presence of Mac
Lean, and snatched at her cue. She,
too, could be businesslike and brief.
Her errand was of business; her man
ner should recommend herl
Richard had seen her making
straight toward the ramada. 1t was
not the first time; her efforts to line
her nest had involved them all and
often. But today, he was in bad
humor.
"For the Lords sake" he greaned
to MaeLean as she approached.
MacLean's grin covered relief. Re had
