"Casey" la an enjema to the office force: he weara "dode" clothes, but.he had uilrned * chair of engineer- Ins In the East to so on the road as a fireman and his promotion had been spec tacular. While waiting for Marshall Rlck 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 a student under Rickard and had married Oerty Holmes, with whom Rickard had fancied he was in love. CHAPTER ll—Marshall tells Rickard fee Overland Pacific has pot to step in to save the Imperial Valley and sends him to the break. Rlokard declines be cause he does not want to supplant Har din, but la won over. "Stop the river; damn the expense," says MarahalL CHAPTER lll—Rickard Journeys to Calaxlco, sees the irrigated desert and learns much about Hardin and his work. CHAPTER IV—At the hotel he meets Mr. and Mrs. Hardin and Innes Hardin, Hardln'a half sitter. Disappointed In her traSband and an incorrigible coquette, Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her former lover and invites him to dinner. CHAPTER V—Rickard vlslta the com pany's offices and takea control. He finds the engineers loyal to Hardin and hos tile to him. Estrada, a Mexican, son of the "Father of the Imperial Valley," tells him of the general situation. CHAPTER Vl—Rickard attends a meeting of the directors and asserts his authority. Hardin races. Estrada tella Rlokard of hla foreboding that his work wtlT fail. "I can't aee It flniahed." CHAPTER vn— lnnes is discovered In ber garden. She tries to cheer up Hardin, who Is furious against Rickard. CHAPTER VIII—A family luncheon of the Hardins which throws light on them. QHAPTER IX-Jhardln discovers that Riekard Is planning a levee to protect Calexlco and puts him down as Incom petent. Oerty thinks her lord Jealous. CHAPTER X—The Hardin dinner to Rickard discloses further the family char acteristics. Hardin is surly and sulky. Inaes is hardly polite. Oerty plans a "progressive ride" In Rlckard's honor. CHAPTER Xl—Rickard encounters the Insubordination of the company's engi neers. He Is stirred by the Indiana' state ment that thia la the hundredth year of a cycle, when the Oreat Tellow Dragon, the Colorado, grows restless. He makes varioua preparations, pushes work on the Calexlco levee and ia ordered by Marshall to "take a fighting chance" on the completion of Hardln'a pet project, a gate to ehut the break m the river. "Just the same, it's nerve," grum bled Hardin, helping himself to more it the omelette, now a flat ruin In the senter of the Canton platter. His re lentmept had taken on an edge of hatred since the episode of the dredge sachlnery. "To write to anyone in By house! He knows what I think of 11m; an Ineffectual ass, that's what he m.

"Oh, I don't know," rejoined Tom argely, hia lips protruding. He had jeen Itching to ask aome one what Rickard was op to. Twice, he had leen him go up, with Mac Lean and Bstrada. Once, there a large flare of Jght. But he wouldn't ask! Some of lis fool tinkering! His sister's gaze rested on him with i smcern. He had too little to do. She guessed that his title, consulting en ftneer, was a mocking one, that his :hief, at least, did not consult him. Was It true, what she had heard, that lie had made a- fluke about the ma chinery? He was looking seedy. H« bad been letting hla clothes go. H« looked like a man who has lost grip) who has been shelved. She knew he was sleeping badly, i Every morning now she found th( :ouch rumpled. Not much pretense oi HBrital congeniality. Things were go 1 Ing badly, thei;e — "Everybody has accepted," Gertj was saying. "They have been waltlni for me to set the date." "And you cater to him, let bin Jangle you all. I wonder why you d it unless'lt's to hurt me." I "Hurt yon, Tom," cried his wife, hei | deep blue eyes wide with dismay I ''How can yon say such a thing? Bu , If It Is given for him, how can I d ; anything else than let him arrang« the day to suit himself? It would I> 1 funny fcr the guest of honor not t > be present, wouldn't It?" > "I don't see why you want to maki I him a guest of honor," be retreated covering his position. | Gently, Oerty expressed her hcllel that she was doing the-best thing foi her husband In getting up a public af fair for his successor. She did think that Tom would see ihnt It showed they hnd no feeling. "I think It a fine Idea." agreed In nes heartily. "I'm sure Tom will, too when he thinks about It." But she did not give hitn any clmnce to espresi himself. "How are you going to —■» age It Gerty? Yon aald It was going to be progressive?" , "We shall draw for partners," said Mrs. Hardin. "And change every half a mile. The first lap will be two miles; that will give some excitement In cutting for partners." Easy, being 1 the hostess, to withhold any slip she - pleased, easy to make it seem acd l dental! i "When Is this circus coming off?" | inquired her husband. "Mr. Rickard says he will be back on 'the first; that hell be free on the . second." "For half sn hour. 111 listen to lira. Youngberg tell me bow hard It Is to have to do without servants, as she's never done it In her life before. For another half-mile. Mrs. Hatfield will .' flirt with me. and Mrs. Mlddleton will tell me all about 'her dear little kid i dies.' Sounds cheerful. Why didn't ' I yon choose cards? No one has to ' talk then." There wnsnn Interval when his wife appeared to be balancing his sugges tlon. "No, I thipk It will linve to be a drive; for I've told every one about It." x "Well," remarked her husbpnd. "I only hope something will hajpen to prevent It" > "Tom I*! exclaimed Gerty Hardin. "What a dreadful thing to say. That sounds like a curse. You make my blood run cold." "Shu!" said Hardin, picking up hid that "That waa no curse, too wouldn't go It It rained, would youf "Oh, ralnl" She shrugged at that possibility. "Well, you wouldn't go If the wind blows!" retorted Hardin, leaving the room. CHAPTER XIV. The Dragon Takes a Hand. The company's automobile bonked outside. Hardin frowned across the table at his wife. "You're surely not going such a sight as this?" Gerty gave one of her light, elusive shrugs. No ifeed to answer Tom when he waa in one of his black moods. This waa the first word he had spoken since be had entered the tent. She bad warned Innes by a lifted eye brow—they must be careful not to provoke him. Something hail gone wrong at the office, of course I How much longes could she stanil his hu mors, these ghastly silent dinners? "The river on a rnmpnge, and we go for a drive!" Jeered Hardin. The flood was not serious—?yet I Tom loved to cry "Wolf!" No one was alarmed In town —Patton, Mrs. Youngberg, would have told her. Of course, one never knew what that dreadful river would do next, but If one had to wait always to see what the river's next prank would bo, one would never get anywhere! Innes was leaving the table. "Well, I suppose I should be laahlng on my hat!" Qerty's pretty lips hardened u Gerty's Pretty Lips Hardened. the girl left the tent These Hardlnt always loved to spoil her enjoyment They would llkAier to be a nun, a cloistered uun! At the opening of the door, the wind tore the pictures from the plana Gerty ran into her room, shutting herself In against further argument. She came back into the room, pow dered and heavily veiled ngalnst the wind. A heavy winter ulster covered the new mull gown which she had not worn at supper, though Innes could hnve helped her with the hooks I But there was always so much talk aboat everything! They hnd to face the gale as the machine swept down the wind-crazed street It was too bad to have a night like this! And all her work—Tom and his sister would have it go for noth ing! She was made of stuhhornet stuff than that Life had been deal ing out mean hands to her, but she would not drop out of the game, ac knowledge herself beaten —luck would turn, she would get better cards. In tbe ball of the Desert hotel, the party was assembling. Mrs. Hsrdln's roving eye scouml the hall. Blckard was not there. Patton called her from the desk. Some one wanted her at the telephone. It waa Itlckard, of course, at tbe oflice; to say be bad been detained. Tbe fear which bsd been chilling her passed by. It was not Blckard on the wl ft, but Mrs. Hatfield, loquacious und coquet tish. She urged a frightful neuralgia, and hoped that she was not patting her bostese to any Inconvenience at this last moment She wanted te prolong the conversation—had the gneets all come? Were tbey really going? Then she must be getting old, for a nlgbt like this dismayed her! Gerty felt her good-night was rudely abrupt But was she to stand there gabbling aU night ber guests wait ing? She prayed that Rickard would be there wben she returned. What a travesty If tbe guest of honor should disappoint ber! Though be was not among the different groups,, her con fidence to J»!s punctiliousness nee- GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. APRIL 17, 1919 sured her. She must bold them silt-1 tie longer. She flitted gslly from one standing group to another. Her eyes constantly questioned the dock. "How long are yon going to wait for Mrs. Hatfield?" Her husband came up, protesting. i ' "Mrs. Hatflelil," khe explained dis tantly, 'ls not coming. Wp are wait ing for Mr. Rickard." "He didn't como in on that train; he's at the Heading." Hardin added something about trouble at the Intake, * but Gerty did not he£d. Tom had known and hqd not told her whes there vfas yet time to call It off I Innas Mads ■ Dlvs Into ths Darkness. "A pretty time to tell me!'' Had he been looking st her, he would have been left no Illusions. Her blue eyes flashed hate. "I did not know It until we got here. There was a message from Mao- Lean at the desk, waiting." Mac Lean was not there, either! "We are all ready," she cried. "Mrs. Hatfield and Mr. Blckard cannot come." Not for worlds would she give In to her desire to call the Whole grim affair off; let them think she was disappointed, not she. Though the world blew away, she would go. She found herself distributing slips of mangled quotations. The whits slips went to the women; the green bits of pasteboard to the men. 8h« held a certain green card In hei glove: "Leads on to fortune." Blck ard might come dashing In at the last moment the Ideal man's way; a spe cial, perhaps; it did not seem credible that he would deliberately stay swsy without sending her word. In a burst of laughter, the con> pnny discovered then that the guesl of honor wss also absent Mrs, Hardin hurried them out to the wait ing buggies. Drearily, they drove down the fly ing street. The wind was at their backs, but It tore at their hats, pulled at their tempers. Their eyes were full of street dust A flash of light as they were leav ing town brightened the thick dust clouds. "What was that?" cried Gerty. She was ready for any calamity now. "Not lightning?" Again, the queer light flashed across the obscured sky. Tom roused himself to growl that he hadn't seen anything. And the dreary farce went on. Innes' partner was young Sutcllffe, the English zanjero. He was In the quicksand of a comparison between English and American women, Innes mischievously coaxing him H»to deeper waters, when there was a blockade of buggies shead of them. "The ABO ranch," cried Innes, peering through the veil of dust al the queer unreal outlines of fences and trees. "It's our first stop." "Oh, I say, that's too bad," hegsn SutclllTe. Innes was already on the road, her skirts whipped by the wind Into clinging drapery. Gerty's party found Itself disorgan ized. Partners were trying to find or lose each other. "Get In here I" Innes beard the voice of Estrada he hind her. He had a top buggy. Shs hailed a refuge. "Bplendld!" she cried. "What a relief!" Climbing In, shs said: "1 hope this isn't upsetting Gerty's ar rangement" - "Arrangement I Look at them P Ths women were hastening oat of the dnst swirl Into any haven that of. fefed. With little screams of dismay, they ran like rabbits to cover. Gerty found herself with BUnn. At the next stop thers wss a block of buggies. "No use changing again V She acknowledged herself beaten. "Let's go on. What ars tbey stopping for?" Dtsmsl farce It all was I She was pushing back ber disheart ened curls when the beat of horsch* hoofs back of them brought the blood back Into ber wlnd-chllled cheeks. "Ulckard!" shs thought "He must have come In s special 1" The gloom suddenly disgorged Mac Lean. "Hardin! Where Is he?" "What's npr yelled BUnn. "Is It the river?" MscLesn's face snswered him. His ranch scoured sgain—"God Almighty I" "The river r scresmed the women. The men were surrounding Mac Lean, whose horse wss prancing ss If with the importance of having carried a Bevere. "The levee I" called Mac-' Lean. "Where's Hardin?" lis sparred his msre toward Hardin, who was blacker than Napoleon st Austerilta. j "You're needed. They're sll need-1 ed." The other voices broke In, the men pressing up. This threatened them all. Bllnn's ranch lay In the ravage*! sixth district. Nothing would ssve him. Youngberg belonged to wster company number ooe; their ditches would go. Hoillster and Wil son of the Palo Verde ssw ruin ahead of them. Each man was visusllzing the mad onward sweep of that de stroying power. Like ghosts, the women huddled In the dust-blows road. "Where Is It now?" demanded BUnn. "It's here, right on us. You're all seeded at the levee," bawled Mac- Lean. . . .. The levee! There was a dash for buggies, a scraping of wheels, the whinnying of frightened horses. Some one recalled the flashes of Ught they bad seen on leaving town. "What were those lights—signals?"* "From the water-tower." Mac Lean's voice split ,tUe wind. "The wires are aU down between the Crossing and the ' towns. Coronel was on the tower—he got the signal from the Heading—he's been there each night for a week!" This was a great night—for his chief, Blckard! Gerty Hardin caught the thrill of his hero-worship. How splendid, how triumphant I Inties found herself in her brother's buggy. His horse, under the whip, dashed forward. Suddenly he pulled it back on its haunches, narrowly averting a Jam. "Where's Mac- Lean r The boy rode back. "Who's call ing me?" "Give me your horse." demanded Hardin. "You take my sister home." Gerty Hardin's party was torn like a bow of useless finery. Facing the wind now, no one could talk; no one wanted to talk. Bach was threshing out bis own thoughts; personal ruin stared them in the face. Every man was ntmeniberlng that reckless an posed cut of Hardin'i; pinning their hope to that ridiculed levee. The horses broke into a reckless gallop, the baggies lurching wildly as they dodged one another. The axles creaked and strained. The wind tore away the hats of the women, rent their pretty chiffon veils. The dusty road was peopled with dark formless shapes. The signals had spread the alarm; the desert world was flocking to the gorge of the New river, to the levee. _ The women were dumpM without ceremony on the sidewalk, under the screened bird cage of the Desert hotel. Shivering, her pretty teeth chattering, Gerty Hardin ushered them into the deserted hall. Ths Chinese cook snored away his vigil In an armchair by the open lire. The men had rushed awsy to the levee. "Women must wait," Gerty's laugh was hysterical. "We can do no good down there." She threw herself, con scious of herolneshlp, into the ordeal of ber spoilt entertainment. It was always an Incoherent dreanj to Innes Hardin, that wild ride home ward, the lurching scraping buggies, the apprehensive alienee, this huddling of women Uke scared rabbits around a table that had else been gay. The women's teeth Shivered over the Ices. Their faces looked ghsstly by the Ught shed by Gerty's green shades. Shs wished she were at the levee. She simply most go to the levee. "I'm go. Ing to get a wrap," she threw to Gerty as she passed. "I left it In the hall." She stole through the deserted of fice, past the white and sliver soda fountain, and out Into the speeding blur of the night. Formless shapes, soft-footed, psssed her. As she sped psst the French windows of the din ing room she could get a view of the shattered party. Innes msde a dive Into the darkness. There was a dim outline of hastening figures In front of her. Stu» could hear some one breathing heavily by her side. They kept apace, stumbling, occasionally, the moving gloom betray ing tbelr feet A man came running back toward the town. "It's catting bsck!" He cried. "Nothing hat the levee will save the towns I" The levee! The harsh breathing followed her. As they psssed the wretched hut of a Mexican gambler, a sputtering light shone out. Innes looked back. She saw the wrinkled face of Coronel, who had left his water tower. Bis black coarse hair was streaming In the wind, bis mouth, ajar, was expres sionless, though the fulfilment of the Oreat Prqpbecy was at hand. Beneath the cheek-splotcbes of green and red paint rested a curious dignity. The Indian was to come again Into bis own. What was his own, she questioned, as her feet stumbled over loosened boarding/a ditch crossing she had not seen. More corn, perhaps more fiery stuff to wash down the corn! More white man's money In the brown man's pocket—that, bis happiness. Why ahonld he not thank the gods? His gods were speaking! For wben the waters of the great river ran back to the desert, the long sgo outraged gods were no longer angry. The towns might go, but the great Indian gods were showing tbelr good will! She Joined a group at the levee, winding ber veil over mouth and fore bead. Dark shapes swayed near her. The wind was making havoc of the mad waters rushing down from the channel. The noise of wind and wa ters was appalling. Htrange load voices came through the din, of In dians, Mexicans; guttural sounds. Men ran past her, carrying shovels, pulling sacks of sand; lanterns, blown dim, flashed tbelr pale Ugbt on ber chilled cheeks. Not even the levee, she knew then, would save the towns. This was the end. * ponapuoo oq ox MONROE DOCTRINE PROVIDED FOR IN A SPECIAL SECTION Peris.—The league of nations com mission adopted a new section to the eevenaat specifically providing that the Monroe doctrine Is not to be af fected by provisions of the covenant It was expected that the Japanese amendment also would be brought up again. The President's call on Baron Makino. bead of the Japanese delega tion. had a bearing on this amend ment London.—Ths nation *r executive committee of the labor party formu lated a statement of policy, demand lag that the Paris conference put an ead to discussions aad make peace In accordance with President Wilson's fourteen points. The labor party also demaads the withdrawal of the con scription hill .the cessation of mili tary interference in Ease la and the speedy withdrawal from the eOMlf §t British troops. i WILSON CHAMPIONS MONROE DOCTRINE / INTRODUCTION OF INSTRUMENT It OPPOSED BY FRENCH AND .; CHINESE DELEGATES. SPEECH GLOSEO DISCUSSION There Waa No Vota Taken and Fall ing Further Remarks President Declared Amendment Adopted. Paris.—Discussion of the Monroe loctrlne amendment by the leageu of nations commission Is descril-ed by thoee present as having been o( a dra matic character, concluding with a ipooch by President Wilson deprecat ing the opposition which had been expressed. - He declared the Monroe doctrine waa enunciated to combat the holy alliance and to hold back the threat of absolutism and militarism. It waa a source of surprise and discourage ment. the president said, to hear oppo sition expressed to such a doctrine and such a purpose. The British attitude had been in doubt until the last, but Lord Robert Cecil turned the scales by announc ing that he saw no objection to the amendment in the form presented by the president. M. Lsrnaude, of the French delegation, followed Lord Rob erts with objections to Inserting the Monroe doctrine. The Chinese also offered objection to the amendment on the ground that Its language was so extended that it might validate certain principles and claims affecting Chinese affairs. The presidents speech closed the discussion. There was no vote and when there were no further remarks the chairman said the amendment would be considered adopted. The commission then took up the next article of the covenant. HOW CAN ALLIEB DEMAND ON GERMANY BE ENFORCED Paris. —While the members of the British and French parliaments ars mobilizing for a proposal to exact nothing lesa than full Indemnification of the allies by Germany for all the costs of the war and are Insisting on Germany's ability to pay the full bill, the American representatives on the reparations commission express con siderable douht whether even the ac count to be presented to Germany un der the plan adopted by the council of four (ertimnted at about 145,000,. 000,000, with the payment spread over a period of 30 years) can or will be collected In full. They assert they can see the possi bility that the ways and means of holding Germany to payment will grow .w««ker as thfl years pass and that Germany may take opportunity in later years to repudiate her obliga tions to the present allied powers un der the peace treaty. They recall the action of Russia In repudiating the restrictive Black sea clauses of ths treaty Imposed at the conclusion of the Crimean war at a moment when a new political constellation in Europe gave the emporor of Russia a fair amount of certainty that Russia could do this with Impunity, NOT AS 818 AS " BRIM'S Bill Cost of War to America Not Nearly Equal to What Eng lish Ally Muat Pay. Twenty-one months of our war with Oermauy cost the United State* |2«,- 366,000,000, the treasury department calculates. Huge munitions and other contracta have been cancelled. Man ufacturers are now presenting their bills and receiving payments for ma terials delivered months ago In the heat of the struggle. Included fn the enormous total of 000,000 losned to the Allies. When we began lending to the Allies, the gov ernment contemplated turning over to them about f&OO.QOO.OOO a month but S' tual loans ordinarily ran around f350,000,000 monthly. Of the total war bill about $lll,OOO, 000,000 has been raised so far l>y the Liberty Loans. The fact that we have not covered our war debt Is the rea son for the Victory Liberty Loan. In other words we haven't paid for the Job. The cost of the war to Great Brit ain was $40,640,000,000. Germany 1a out $38,750,000,000 exclusive of Indem nities tbe Allies may Impose. ONLY THREE OUT OF WILSON'S 14 POINTS ARE NOT INDORSEE Paris —lf one would gain a real ap preclatlon of whet haa been accom pllshed. It Is necessary merely to ke«i foremost In mind the basis upon whlc? the peace conference was called Intr being. President Wilson's 14 points. How far has tbe conference pro grassed toward their realization' Tf this extent, that with the exceptloc of three questions—Russia, the Ser blan outlet to the sea and Italy's fron tiers —and these latter are Independ ent—tbe American peace delegatlos has succeeded In forcing through th« acceptance of tbe entire program. Tt Is understood that the questloi of Russia was debated at a recen 1 seeslon, but probably the ultimate de elsion will be to leave It for th league of natlsns.

T. —Emphatic denial was the answer of Richard H. Burke, of New York, to the charge of Senator George R Thompson that Burke had offered him a bribe in the form of a $500,000 campaign fund for the gov ernorship as the price of the sena tor's support of the Carson-Martin bill to permit street railway companies to Increase fare rates. Burke, who Is vice president of the Speclsl Service Flooring Corporation snd connected with the Federal Signal Company, not only denied "'""t the $500,000 offer about which Senator Thompson had testified earlier la the day, but said he had never had aay conversation concerning the governor ship with the senator. GOMPERS PROTESTS SHIFT IN LABOR LEGISLATION New York.—Samuel Gompers cabled President Wilson, protesting againat reopening the report drafted by the committee. Mr. Gompers' action was based on the announcement that the plenary adopted the report, with an amendment offered by G. N.
