The camp formed hollow trape-

tent were huddled with the engineers.
Across. toward the river, behind Ling's
mesquites, began another polygon, the

She expected to hear protest to

CHAPTER XIII.
A White Woman and a Brown.

A White Woman and a Brown.
For 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; Rickard was ab-
| 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 Rickard, nor

breakfast was gulped down before the
women appeared; his dinners where
he found them.
"No wonder!" reflected Gerty Har-
din. ''Ling'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

ard. she was the only woman there
Because she was Toms sister, she had
right to resent 1t, to refuse to meet
his eye. Small wonder Tom did not
come to the Delta!
Going In with MacLean, Jr., to the
messroom for glass of water, she met
Rickard, on his way out. She man

She wondered why she had consented

To her surprise, Rickard penetrated
her curtain Of shadows.
"Our dance, Miss Hardin7 Give US
'Sobr' Las Olas,' again. Jose."
The hand that barely touched his
arm was stiff with antagonism. She
told herself that he had to dance with
|her-politeness, conventlonality, de-
manded 1t. But, instantly, she forgot
her resentment. and forgot their awk-
ward relation. 1t was his dancing, not
Gerty's, then, that was superb" Any
body could find skill under the leader
ship Of that irresistible step. And then
the motion claimed her. She thought
Of nothing; they moved as one to the
liquid falling beat.
The music dropped them suddenly
solating them ut the stern Of the deck.
The silence was complete. Richard
broke it to ask her what she thought Of
the camp.
Her resentments were recalled. She
blundered through her impression Of
the lightness, the gayety.
"A work camp does not have to be
solemn. You'll find all the grimnesS
you want If you look beneath the sur
face"
The guitars were tuning up. "Shall
I take you back? have this dance
with your sister,"
She thought Of Tom-on his lonely
cot outside his tent. She forgot that
she had been asked question. He
was dancing again with Gerty! If that
silly little woman had no scruples. no
fine feeling. this man should at least
guard her. If he had been her lover,
he should be careful; he must see that
people were talking Of them. She had
seen the glances that evening! The
business relation between the two nsen
should suggest tact, II not decency! 1t
was outrageous.
Rickard stood waiting to be dis

an inauspicious day for Mrs. Hardins
visit. Things had gone wrong. Vex-
ations were piling up. A tilt with Har-
din that morning. a telegram from
Marshall; he was feeling sore. Des-
perately they needed labor. Wooster
had just reported, venomously, 1t ap-
drunkenness among the Indians.
Gerty's ruffies swept in. Her dress,
the blue null with the lace medallions,
accented the hue of her eyes, and
looked deliciously cool that glaring

was lined with the same baby hue.
Her dainty fairness and childish af-
fability should have made an oasis in
that strenuous day, but Richards dis
integration of temper was too COM
plete. He rose stiffiy to meet her, and
his manner demanded her errand.
She told it to him, plaintively. Her
eyes were appealing, infantile. Would
1t be too much to ask. would Mr..
Richard mind in the least, he must be
perfectly frank and tell her If they
would be in the way at all, but while
this hot spell lasted. could they. the
three of them, eat in the mess tent
with the men?
Surely" Rickard met it heartily.
She would find it rough. but If she
could stand it. yes. he thought 1t
good idea.
to do but go. Her retreat was grace
full. without haste, dignified. She
smiled farewell at MacLean, who
was watching the approach Of Innes
Hardin and Estrada. Rickard did not
see the aborted entrance of Hardin's
sister and the young Mexican. He
was itching to be at his work.
He let out growl when Mrs. Har-
din was out of earshot.
"Shucks! What in Halifax do wom-
en- come to a place like this for?
There's Hardin-brings in two women
to cook for him, and now, please may
they all eat with the men2"
His secretary subdued chuckle.
He was visunlizing n procession Of
boxes Of choice Havanas-from Bode-
feldt, Hamlin and the rest OF the
gang. He need not buy smoke for
q year.
Rickard threw himself back in his
chair. "Take this letter, MacLean. To
Marshall" Then his worry diverted
him. "Who in thunder Is selling liquor
to my Indians"
"Hold on; that letter can wait. You
get the horses up, MacLean. and We'll

A few hours later they were ap-

with pride, his badge. He was a ru-

He had caught some Of those drunken
Indians on the road. He had brought
them here.
Maldonado showed three men in a
locked shed. deep in drunken stupor.
He thought the liquor was obtained
somewhere back In the sandhills. He
would find the place. But the senor
must be patient; his hands were SO

yesterday. Mr. Eyker has for some

to Mr.. Boles.
Boles recently rendered his resigna-

for the purpose Of assuming control of
the Northwestern Arkansas Fruit com
pany, which he organized at ,Fayette-
vile, Arkansas, about six months ago.
The ten-acre experiment plot was
one Of the inovations introduced by
Boles for the purpose Of Advancing
the fruit growing industry throughout
Southwest Missouri and North Arkan-

Six months ago he purchased a
large fruit farm near Fayetteville and
since that time has made his home in

While in Arkansas, Boles saw the
wonderful opportunities offered for a

In much of his work throughout
the Frisco system, Boles was assisted
by Mr.. Eyker, who has demonstrated
experimental ability as horticulture

rendered his resignation, the officials
looked to Eyker as the logical man
to fill the vacancy.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
MONETT PEOPLE
Every Monett Reader Will Admit the
Soundness of the Logic.

Would Monett people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed if their experiences
did not show the remedy to be de-
serving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction 10
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. John Suttles, 40 Euclid ave..-
Monett, says: II suffered for several
years from inflammation Of the blad-
der and kidney complaint. My back
ached steady, and had nervous head
aches and dizzy spells. It hurt me TO-
stoop or lift anything. ! doctored
but got no relief at all until ! began
using Doan's Kidney Pills. They
made me strong and free from kidney
trouble"
NEARLY FIVE YEARS LATER,

have told others about them for I
know they are q reliable medicine."
