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 food
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 naughty
child from school. Never would the
cry Of 'The riverw 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

The second night Of the flood, the
women of the towns dragged brush
and filed sacks for the men to carry.
1t was past midnight when Innes Har-
din left the levee. While her feet and
fingers had toiled, her mind had been
fretting over Tom. Two nights, and
no rest 1t was told by men who came
down the river how Hardin was hero
ically laboring. She yearned to 80 to
him; perhaps he would stop for a few
hours to her entreaty. But an uncer-
tain trail across country, with tie
dust-laden wind in her face? She de-
cided to wait for the dawn. A snatched
sleep first, but who would call her?
She would sleep for hours, so weary
every muscle. Her mind fixed on Sam
rs the only man in town who had
time to saddle horse for a woman.
She went in search of him. She
found that the long adobe Office build
ing had already taken on the look of
defeat, Of ruin. The easements had
been torn from the partitions; the
doors and windows were out. The fur
niture had been hauled up to high
ground farther away for safety. She
went hunting through the ghoulish
gloom for the darky, turning her Ian
tern in every dark corner. She knew
that she would find him sleeping.
Then she heard steps on the veranda.
She ran toward them, expecting to see
Sam. She swung her lantern full on
two figures mounting the shallow
steps. Rickard was with her sister
in-law.
"Oh, excuse me !" she blurted blum
deringly. OF course Gerty would take
n wrong intention from the stupid
| words
The blue eyes met those Of Innes
with defiance. 1t was as though she
had spoken: swell, think what you
will of 1t, you Hardins! / don't care
what you think Of mel"
What indeed did she think Of It?
Why should she feel like the culprit
before these two, her words desert
ing her? 1t was Gerty's look that
made her feel guilty, as though she
had been spying. To meet them to-
gether. here at midnight, why should
not they feel ashamed? She had done
nothing wrong. And Tom down yon-
der fighting-and they make his abb
sence cover for their rendezvous.
"Im looking for Saml" The effort
behind the words turned them into an
oratorical challenge.
