CHAPTER XXIV.
Rickard Makes a New Enemy and a
 New Friend.

New friend.
 The coming of the Indians gave the impetus the work had lacked. Under Jenks of the railroad company a large force was put on the river; these, the weayers of the brush mattresses that were to line the river bed. On the banks were the brush cutters; tons of willows were to be cut to weave into the forty miles of woven wire cable waiting for the cross strands. Day by day the piles of willow branches grew higher, the brush cutters work ing ahead of the mattress workers in the stream. In the dense undergrowth the stolid Indians, Pimas and Marico- pas and Papagoes, struggled with the fierce thorn of the mesquit and the overpowering smell of the arrow weed. As tough as the hickory handles they wielded, they fought a clearing through dense thickets in the intense tropic heat.
 Down stream the Brobdingnagian arm ef the dredge fell into the mud of the bypass, dropping its slimy burden on the far bank. Down the long stretch of levee the "sl1inners" drove their mules and scrapers; two pile drivers were setting in the treacher- ous stream the piles which were to anchor the steel-cabled mattresses to the river bed. It was a well-organized, active scene. Rickard. in his office, dictating letters and telegrams to Mac Lean, Jr., felt his first satisfaction. Things were beginning to show the re- suit of months of planning. Cars were rushing in from north and east; every quarry between Los Angeles and Tue son requisittoned for their undertak- ing.
 A shadow fell on the pine desk. Ling, in blue ticking shirt and white butcher apron, waited for the 'boss'' to look up. He stood wiping the per spiration from his head, hairless ex- cept for the long silk-tapered queue
 Well, Ling?"
 q go tamale." His voice was soft as silk. q no stay"
 It was thunderclap. There was no one to replace Ling, who was drawing down the salary of a private secretary. Lose Ling? It would be more demoralizing to the camp than to lose an engineer.
 MOleY all llLes bOSSee all uCe- NO likee woman. Woman she stay, Ling go."
 Mrs. Hardinl" Rickard woke up.
 "She all time makee trouble. She clazy. She think woman veIlee fine cook. She show Ling cookee plunes. TeaChee Ling cookee plunes! I no stay that woman" Unutterable final , ity in the leathern face. Rickard and MacLean, Jr., exchanged glances which deepened from concern into perplexity. They could not afford to lose Ling. And offend Mrs. Hardin, the camp already Hardinesque? Rickard grew placating. He spent q half hour wheeling. They met at the starting place. Ling go tanale.'
 "Oh, Lord," groaned the manager, capitulating. "AIl right, Ling" With the dignity of an oriental prince, Ling battered out of the tent, Rickard was pickering his lips at his secretary. ''rd rather take castor oiI.''

The terror was seizing her again, Before she could begin her pleading he called to MacLean.
 'Ask Ling to find a tent for Sonora MaIdonado. Tell him to give her good meal"
 He must trap the rogue. That in- fernal place must be closed. The woman had come in the nick of time. Those tribes were to be guarded as restless children.

SERVICE
MOTOR TRUCKS
1888 New Brunswick Ave.

Do you buy a truck O the strength of what the agent tells you or do
you want to see what you are getting for your money!
The best way to buy a truck is to get as many demonstrations IS pos
sble, place the demonstrators out in the road, side by side and start ON
pairing point for point, spring for spring, frame for frame; motor for motor,
etc. If you do this you will very seldom get fooled. Why9 Because, if you
are a keen observer you will eliminate the cheaper priced trucks and go to
the dearer and better ones and in amongst these better chassis you will see
a SERVICE chassis and you will soon see that the SERVICE TIMKEN REAR
Axle is larger than the others. You will see that the frame is thicker and
has fewer holes in than the others (he more holes in a frame the less strength
it has). You will find that the SERVICE chassis is wider, longer and has
nor carrying capacity than the others Not only that BUT when yu buy
SERVICE TRUCK you buy direct from THE Factory Distributor and not
tatives. The Service Motor Truck Co. has only on truck of each size You
know exactly what you are going to get while other manufacturers make two
kinds of N ton trucks; two kinds of two tons, etc. and it is very hard for
the ordinary truck buyer to know just which one Of the trucks he is going to
get s8at
If can get the June number Of the Commercial Car Journal
look under the table of body building dimensions of the different make trucks
you will see how much larger the SERVICE TRUCK is than the Others.
If you want a good reliable HIGH GLASS Truck that will give 5 years
good sERvICE-Buy a SERVICE TRUCK.
