The long afternoon wore away. They
We're now dynanlting the largest rocks
on the cars before unloading them.
The heavy loads could not be emptied
quickly enough Not dribbled, the rock,
but dumped simultaneously, else the
gravel and rock might be washed
down stream faster than they could be
loaded at once: the din on Silents
train was terrific. His crew looked
like devils, drcnched from the spray
which rose from the river each time
the rock-pour began; blackencd by the
smoke from the belching engine. The
river was ugly in its wrath. 1t was
humping itself for its final stand
against the absurdity of human ntcn'
ton; its yellow tail swished through
the bents of the trestle.
The order came for more speed
Richard moved from bank to raft
knee deep In water, screaming orders
through the din; directing the gangs
speeding the rock trains. Hardin oscil
lated between the levee and dams talk
ing orders, giving orders. Ills energy
was superb. 1t had grown dark, but
no one yet had thought of the lights
the great Wells burners stretched
across the channel. Suddenly, tn,
lights flared out brightly.
Not one OF those who labOrcd ol
watched would ever forget that night
The spirit of reckleSsness entered

their enterprise the Hardin faction
jumped to Richards orders. The
watchers on the bank sat tense
thrilled out of recognition Of aching
muscles or the midnight creeping chill
No one would 90 home.
To lines, the struggle was veStet
in two men. Richard running dOwr
yonder with that light foot of his, anC
Hardin with the fighting mouth tense
And somewhere, she remembered
working with the rest, was Estrada
Those three were fighting for the JUST
fication of a yision-an idea was a
stake, hope for the future.

track Ii flung credit to the mun-sde
Each time the waters, slowly rising
