CHAPTER VII.
A Garden in a Desert.

His dwelling leaped into sight as Hardin turned the corner of the street. There was but one street running through the twin towns, fanked by fhe. ditches of running water The rest were ditches of running water edged by footpaths. Scowling he passed un- der the overhanging bird cages of the Desert hotel without q greeting for the lOungers, whose chairs were drawn up against the shade of the brick walls The momentum slackened as Hardin neared the place he called his home. An inner tenderness diluted the sheer that disfgured his face. He could see Innes as she moved around in the lit- tie fenced-in strip that surrounded her desert tent. She insisted on calling it a garden, in spite of his raillery.
 "Gerty's in bed. suppose" thought Tom. He had sudden vivid picture of her accusing martyrdom. His mouth hardened again. Innes, stooping over q rose, passed out of his vision.
 It came to Hardin suddenly that q man has made circle of failure when he dreads going to his office and shrinks from the reproaches at home.
 "A 'has-been' at forty!" he unused Where were all his ships drifting7
 Innes, strengthening, waved gay hand.
 She's raising a goodly crop of bar rels." His thought mocked and en- ressed her. Her garden devotion was tender joke with him. He loved the Hardin trait in her, the persistence which will not be daunted. An occupa- tion with a Hardin was dedication. He would not acknowledge the Innes blood in her. Like that fancy mother of hers? Innes was Hardin through and drought
 Its in the blood" ran his thought. "She can't help 1t. All the Hardfns work that way. The Hardins always make fools of themselves i''
 Innes, lifting her eyes from a crip- pied rose, saw that the black devils were consuming him again.
 Twill you look at this wreck !'' she cried.

At ten o'clock the next morning Har- din. entering the office, again the gen eral managers, found there before him George MacLean, the new director, and Percy Babcock, the treasurer, who had been put in by the Overland Pacific when the old company, was reorgan- ized. They had just come in from Los Angeles, the trip made in MacLean's private car, to attend a directors meet ing.
 Rickard entered few minutes later, Estrada behind him. Ogilyie followed Rickard to his desk.
 "Well?" inquired the new manager.
 Ogilvie explained lengthily that he had the minutes of the last meeting.
 Leave them here." Rickard waved him toward Estrada, who held out his hand for the papers.
 Reluctantly the accountant relin- quished the papers. His retreating coattails looked ludicrously whipped but no one laughed. Hardin's scowl deepened.
 Showing his power" he thought. He's going to call for new pack.'
 Estrada pushed the minutes through with but a few unimportant interrup- tions. He was sitting at the same desk with Rickard. Hardin, sensitive and sulen, thought he saw the meeting managed between them.
 Several times he attempted to bring the tangled affairs of the water som- panies before the directors Rickard would not discuss the water compa- nies.
 Because he's not posted! He's be-

Estrada's thoughtful glance rested on the angry face. Was this genuine, or did not Hardin know of the years Rickard had served on the road; of the job in the heat-baked barrancas of Mexico, where Marshall had "found'' him? But he would not try again to persuade Hardin to give up his trip to Los Angeles. It might be better, after all, for the new manager to take charge with his predecessor out of the way.
 ''MacLean's coming down tonight" ]" he threw out, still watching Hardins face. With Babcock."
 "I won't be missed" Hardin's mouth was bitter. Estrada, if I had the sense of goat I'd sell out, sell my stock to MacLean and quit. Whats in all this for me? Does anyone doubt my reason for staying? It would be like leaving a sinking ship, like de- serting the passengers and crew one had brought on board. God I'd like to go! But how can I? I've got hold of the tail of the bear and I can't let go!'
 No one doubts you" began Es- trada. Hardin turned away, with an ugly oath. The Mexican stood watch ing his stumbling anger. Poor Har- dinl"
 In che office Riekard was speaking to MacLean, whom he had drawn to one side, out of earshot of the checker players.

 "Six-ffteen."
 "rn have a letter for you at the hotel at six. Be on time. I want to catch Hardin before he leaves for Los Angeles. If he's really going. I'll give him today to think it over. But he can't disregard an order as he did my invitation. I didn't want to rub it in before the men,"
 MacLean stared, then said that he thought he was not likely to-
 Rickard left the office in time to see Hardin shutting the outer gate behind him. His exit released cho- rus of indignant voices.

 "Thank you. And you can just strangle that foreboding of yours. Mir. Estrada. For I tell you we're going to govern that river!'' Estrada's pensive smile followed the dancing step of the engineer until it carried him out of sight Perhaps2 ?

 Rickard then called for report on the clam-shell dredge being rushed at Yuma. Where was the machinery Was it not to have been finished in February?
 "Why not get the machinery here? Whats the use of taking chances?" de- handed Rickard
 Hardin felt the personal implication. He was on his feet in second. "There are DO chances" He looked at Mac Lean. "The machinery's done. It's no use getting it here until we're ready"
 There are always chances" inter rupted his opponent coolly. "We are going to take none. want Mir. Har- din, gentlemen, appointed committee of one to see that the machinery is de- livered at once, and the dredge rushed"
 The working force was informally discussed. Hardin said they could de- pend on hobo labor. Rickard agreed that they would find such help, but it would not do to rely on it. The big sewer system of New Orleans was about completed; he had planned to write there, stating the need. And there was man in zacatecas, named Porter

 You'll be infringing on the interna- tional contract law suggested Mac Lean.
 "No. The camp is on the Mexican side," laughed Casey. "Pd thought of that. We'll have them shipped to the nearest Mexican point, and then brought to the border. Mir. Estrada will help us."
 1 The meeting had already adjourned. They were standing around the flat top desk. Estrada invited them all to lunch with him, in the car on the sid ing. MacLean said that he had to get back to Los Angeles. Mir. Babcock was going to take him out to Grants Heading in the machine. He had nev- CT been there. They had breakfasted late. He looked very much the colonel to Rickard, his full chest and stiff car | riage made more military by his trim uniform of khaki-colored cloth.
 May speak to you about your boy, Mr. MacLean?"
 Hardin caught a slight that was not intended. He pushed past the group at the door without civility or cere- mony.
 The steady grave eyes of the big frame looked at Rickard inquiringly.
 sHe wants to stay out another year. I hope you will let him. It's not disin- terested. I shall have to take a stenog- rapher to the Heading this summer. There is girl here; I couldn't take her, and then, too, I'm old-fashioned; I don't like women in offices. My posi- ton promises to be peculiar one. I'd like to have your son to rely on for emergencies stenographer could not cover"

 That's the least of it."
 q hope that he will make a good stenographer! Good morning, gentle men,"
 At table, neither Estrada nor his guest uncovered their active thought which revolved around Hardin and his hurt. Instead, Rickard had questions to ask his host on river history. As they talked, it came to him that some thing was amiss-Estrada was ac- curate; he had all his facts. Was it enthusiasm, sympathy, he lacked? Pres ently he challenged him with it. Estrada's eyes dreamed out of the window, followed the gorge of the New river, as though out there. somewhere. the answer lowered.

I can laugh at it myself, sometimes" | Rickard waited, not sure that any thing more was coming. The Mexi- cans dark eyes were troubled; puzzle brooded in them.
