office force; he wears dude clothes,
but he had resigned chair of engineer
fireman and his promotion had been spec
tacular While waiting for Marshall Rick
ard reads a report on the ravages of the
Colorado, despite the efforts of Thomas
Hardin of the Desert Reclamation COM
pany. This Hardin had been student
Holmes, with whom Richard had fancied
he was in love.
CHAPTER II-Marshall tells Rickard
the Overland Pacific has got to step in
to save the Imperial Valley and SENDS
him to the break. Richard declines be-
cause he does not want to supplant Har-
din but is won over. stop the river;
damn the expense" says Marshall.
CHAPTER III-Rickard journeys to
CaleXico. sees the irrigated desert and
learns much about Hardin and his work.
CHAPTER IV-At the hotel he meets
Mr.. and Mrs Hardin and Times Hardin,
Hardin's half sister Disappointed in her
husband and an incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her former
over and invites him to dinner.
CHAPTER V-Rickard visits the COM
pany's offices and takes control He finds
the engineers loyal to Hardin and hos
tile to him. Estrada, Mexican, son of
the Father of the Imperial Valley" tells
him of the general situation.
CHAPTER VI-Rickard attends a
meeting of the directors and asserts his

Hardin had run too fast. II didn't

it will be difficult if we are delayed
much longer"
"Have you the force to re-begin
work at once?" demanded Richard.

everything ready to go on-men, ma

time"
Answer my question, please"

Richard interrupted him. II want an

Mr. Hardin
Hardin glared at the other men for

Portable. Babcock had pricked up his
ears at the sound of the desired appro-
priation; his head on one side, he
looked like an inquisitive terrier.
Hardin spread out his hands in help

said. Its your money, the 0. P.'s,
but you're lending it, not giving it TO
us. You are going to swamp the Des-
ert Reclamation company. We can't
throw funds away like that" One hum
dred thousand dollars! Why. lie could
have stopped the river at any time if
he had had that sum; once a paltry
thousand would have saved them Il
ruin us, but to stop the river; not to
throw money away in hog-wild fash
ion." He was stammering inarticulate-
ly. "There's no need of spur-track
if you rush my gate through"
eff" Richard nodded. Granted. If
we can rush it through. But suppose
it fails? Marshall said the railroad
would stand for no contingencies. The
interests at stake are too VITAL"
"Interestsr' cried Tom Hardin.
"What do you know of the interest at
stake? You or your railroadp Coming
in at the eleventh hour, what can you
know? Did you promise safety to thou

homes in this valley? Are you RESPONSE

What do you know of the interests at

thousand dollars into a frill. Cod, do
you know what that means to my
company? 1t means ruin" Estrada
pulled him down in his seat.
Richard explained to the directors
! the necessity in his opinion of the spur
| track and the quarry. Rock in great
quantities would be needed; cars must
be rushed in to the break. He urged
| the Importance of clenching the issue.
"If it's not won this time, it's lost
cause" he maintained. "If it cuts q
| deeper gorge, the Imperial valley is a
chimera so is Laguna DAM"

CHAPTER vi.
Red Tape,


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-
lied. They had just come in from Los
Angeles, the trip made in MacLean's
private car, to attend a directors meet
ing.
Richard entered a few minutes later.
Estrada behind him. Ogilyie followed
Richard to his desk.
"Well?" inquired the new manager.
Ogilvie explained lengthily that he
had the minutes of the last meeting.
Leave them here" Richard 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 Interrupt
tons. He was sitting at the same desk
with Richard. Hardin, sensitive and
sullen, thought he saw the meeting
managed between them.
Several times he attempted to bring
the tangled affairs of the water COM
panies before the directors. Richard
would not discuss the water compa-
MES.
Because he's not posted! He's be-
ginning TO see what he's up against"
ran Hardin's stormy thoughts.
He was on his feet the next minute
with q motion to complete the Hardin
headgate Violently he detained to
BabcOck and MacLean his wrongs, the
Injustice that had been done him. Mar.
shall had let that fellow Maitland con
vince him that the gate was not prac-
ticable; had it not been for him the
gate would be in place now; al this
time and money saved. And the Matt
land dam, built instead! Where was
it? Where was the money, the time.
put in that little toy? Sickening! His
face purpled over the memory. Why
was he allowed to begin again with
the gate? ANSWER me that. Why
was allowed to begin again? It's all
childs play, that's what it is. And
when | am in it again up to my neck
he pulls me off "
This was the real Hardin, the I'M
couth, averaged Lawrence student!
The new manner was just veneer.
Richard had been expecting it to wear
thin.
81 think" interjected Richard, "that
we all agree with Mr.. Marshall MIR.
Hardin, that wooden headgate on silt
foundation could never be more than
a makeshift. | understood that the
first day he visited the river with you
he had the idea to put the ultimate
gate, the gate which would control the
water supply of the valley, up at the
Crossing on rock foundation. Mr.. Mar
shall does not expect to finish that in
time to be of first use. He hopes the
wooden gate will solve the immediate
problem. 1t was case of any port in
a storm. He has asked me to report
my opinion"
"Why doesn't he give me chance
to go ahead then?" growled the de-
posed manager. Instead of letting
the intake widen until it will be an i'm
possibility to confine the river there
at all?"
