SYNOPSIB.
CHAPTER I-K. C. Rlckard. an engi
neer of the Overland Pacific, is called to
the office of President Marshall in Tuc
•on. Arls. "Caiey" la an enigma to the
office force; he wean "dude" clothes,
but he had resigned a chair of engineer
ing In the East to go on the road as a
fireman and hi* promotion had been spec
tacular. While waiting for Marshall Rlck
ard reads a report on the ravages of the
I Colorado, despite the efforts of Thomas
1 Hardin of the Desert Reclamation com
pany. This Hsrdln had been a student
under Rlckard and had married Oertr
Holmes, with whom Rlckard had fancied
ha was In love.
CHAPTER H—Marshall tells Rlcksrd
the Overlsnd Pacific has sot to step In
to ssve the Imperial Valley and sends
him to the break. Rlckard declines be
cause he does not want to supplant Har
din, but Is won over. "Stop the river;
damn the expense," says Marshall.
CHAPTER lll—Rlckard Journeys to
Calexlco, sees ths Irrigated desert and
learns much about Hardin and his work.
CHAPTER IV—At tin hotel he meets
Mr. and Mrs. Hardin and Innes Hardin,
Hardin's half sister. Disappointed In her
husband and an Incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets her cap for her farmer
lover and Invites him to dinner.
CHAPTER V—Rlcksrd visits the com
pany's offices and takes 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—Rlckard attends a
meeting of the directors and asserts his
authority. Hardin rages. Estrada tells
Rlckard of his foreboding that hla work
will Vail. "I can't see It finished."
CHAPTER Vll—lnnes Is discovered In
her garden. She tries to cheer up Hardin,
who Is furloua asalnst Rlckard.
CHAPTER X—The Hardin dinner to
Rlckard discloses further the family char
acteristics. Hardin Is surly and sulky.
Innes Is hardly polite. Gerty plans a
"progressive ride" la Rlcksrd's honor,
CHAPTER Xl—Rlckard encounters the
Insubordination of the company's engi
neers. He Is stirred by the Indians' state
ment that this is the hundredth year of
a cycle, when the Great Yellow Dragon,
the Colorado, grows restless. He makes
various preparations, pushes work on
the Calexlco levee and Is ordered by
Marshall to "take a lighting chance" on
the completion of Hardin's pet project,
a gate to shut the break In the* river.
CHAPTER VIII—A family luncheon of
the Hardlns which throws light on them.
CHAPTER IX—feardtn discovers that
Rlckard Is planning a levee to protect
Calexlco and puts him down as Incom
petent. Gerty thinks her lord jealous.
CHAPTER Xll—San Francisco Is de
stroyed by earthquake and fire, and dredge
machinery, which Rlckard had ordered
Hardin to have shipped. Is burned through
Hardin's neglect. Rlckard secretly equips
the big water tower as a signal atatlon.
CHAPTER XHl—Gerty Hsrdln decides
thst Rlckard still loves her and plans a
campaign that promises trouble.
CHAPTER XlV—The progressive ride
Is begun under adverse conditions—wind
and dust, with the guest of honor absent.
Then Mac Lean, Rlckard's secretary,
brings word that the river Is raging and
every man Is wanted on the levee.
CHAPTER XV—Hardin motors off with
a load of dynamite, leaving everything In
confusion on the levee. Innes, through %
friendly engineer, Issues orders In her
brother's name, to save her brother's
face. The levee and the signal tower save
Calexlco till Rlckard's return.
CHAPTER XVl—Gerty Hardin begins
to get really Interested In Rlckard. The
wind blows a gale and the levee la In
danger again.
CHAPTER XVll—Women as well aa
men work on the levee the second night.
Innes finds Rlcksrd and Gerty together
and begins to suspect her slater-ln-lsw.
Her brother's wrongheadedness and Rlck
ard's evident efficiency only serve to em
bitter Innes against Rlckard.
CHAPTER XVIII—The river washes
away half of Mexican, Calexlco's Mexi
can twin city, but Calexlco still stands.
CHAPTER XIX—A stormy public meet
ing Is held In which representatives of
the settlers, the Overland Pacific and
Mexico clash. A telegram from Rlckard
that the river has broken out again saves
a big row snd forces united action by all.
CHAPTER XX.
A Boft Nook.
Innes traveled, gleefully, In a ca
boose, from Hamlin Junction to the
Heading. She could not stay away a
day longer! Never before hud Los
Angeles been a discipline. Why had It
fretted her, made her restless, home
sick? Then she had discovered the
reason; history was going on down
yonder. Going on, without her. She
knew that that was what was pulling
ber; that only I
The exodus of engineers had started
rlverward In July. Gerty went with
Tom, and she had made it distinctly
clear that it wns not necessary for In
nes to follow them. Ridiculous for two
women to coddle a Tom Hardin I Un
less Innes had a special Interest!
Her pride had kept her away. But
Tom did not write; Gerty's letters were
•octal and unsatisfactory; the newspa
per reports inflamed her. The day be
fore she had wired Tom that she was
comlai;. She bad to be there at th
end!
Geity welcomed ber stiffly. Assum
ing a conscientious hostess-ship, sb«
caught fire at her waning enthusiasms.
Gerty looked younger and prettier.
Her flush accentuated her childish fea
tures which were smiling down ber an
noyance over this uninvited visit
"We have ail the home comforts,
haven't we? Why shouldn't we be com
fortable when we are to be here for
months? I'm going to brave It out—to
the bitter end, even If I bake. It is my
duty—" She would make her Intention
perfectly clear! "There ought to be at
least one cozy place, one soft nook
that suggests a woman's presence. We
have tea here In the afternoon, some
times. Mr. Illckard drops In." The
last was a delicate stroke. '
"Afternoon tea? At the Front? I»
this modern warfare?" The girl draped
her Irony with a smile.
Gerty was stealing a pleased survey
In the mirror through the rough door
that opened Into the division called
her bedroom. The sunburned, uncon
scious profile of Innes was close to bee
gwn. Pink and golden tfre head by the
dark one. 'She looked younger even
than Innest Good humor returned to
her.
"We are going to dine on the Delta
tonight" She pinned up a "scolding
lock," an ugly misnomer for her sunny
clinging curls I The mirror was requi
sitioned again. "That's the name of
the new dredge. It was christened
three weeks ago, In champagne
brought from Yuma."
"You said dine on the Delta. Do yon
mean they have meals there?"
."You should seb It," cooed Gerty.
"It's simply elegant It's a floating
hotel, has every convenience. The
camp cook, Ling, has his hands full."
"Going to wear that?" They were
standing now by the door of Gerty'a
dressing tent Over the bed a white
lingerie gown was spread.
"I live In them. It's so hot," shrugged
Mrs. Hardin.
Gerty Welcomed Her Btlffly.
"I'll look like your maid, Gerty!" In
nes' exclamation was rueful. "1 didn't
bring anything but khakis. Oh, yes! I
temember throwing In, the Inst minute,
two piques to fill up space."
"Why, we have dances on the Delta,
and Sunday evening concerts. You
knew the work at Laguna dam Is being
held up? The government men of the
Reclamation Service are down here all
the time. But it's time to be getting
ready."
Later, Tom flatly refused to accom
pany them.
"I thought as much." Gerty shrugged
an airy Irresponsibility. Innes could
detect no regret.
They passed a cot outside the tent
"Who sleeps there?"
"Tom." The eyes of the two women
did not meet.
Innes made no comment
"He finds the tent stuffy." Gerty's
Hps were prim with reserve. They
walked toward the river In silence. A3
they repched the encampment, Gerty
recovered her vivacity.
"That's Mr. Blckard's office, that
ramada. Isn't It quulnt? And that's
his tent; no, the other one. MucLean's
Is next; there's Junior, now."
But his eyes were too full of Innes to
see Gerty's dimples. The difference In
the quality of his greetings smote Gerty
like a blow. And she had never con
sidered Tom's sister attractive, as a
possible rival. Yet, after a handshake,
she snw that to Mac Lean, Jr., sho did
not exist.
Gerty wns deeply piqued. Until now,
the field had been hers. She might per
haps have to change her opinion of
Tom's sister. Boys, she had to con
cede, the younger men. might find her
attractive, boyishly congenial; older
men would fall to see a charm I
The arrangement at table annoyed
Gerty. The boss, Mac Lean explained
gaily, would not be there for dinner.
He might come In later. Two men from
the Reclamation Service tried to enter
tain Mrs. Hardin.
"It Isn't a battle." Innes looked
around the gay rectangle. • t ft t s play I"
The thought followed her that eve-"
nlng. Outside, where the moonlight
was silvering the deck, and the quiet
river lapped the sides of the dredge,
Jose's strings, and his "amlgo's" t)irob
bing from a dark corner, made the Il
lusion of peace convincing. This was
no battle. It was easy to believe her
self age.iii at Maro Island —the Delta a
cruiser.
Later, Gerty passed her, t\vo-ste|»
ping divinely. Before her pnrtnef
turned his head, Innes recognized the
■tiff back and straight poised head and
dancing step of Bickard. She admit
ted he bad distinction, grudgingly. She
could not think of him except compara
tively; always antithetically, balanced
against her Tom.
"I'm tired; let's rest here." Innes
drew Into the shadow of the great anr
of the dredge. They watched th«
dancers as they passed, MacLenn play
ing the woman In "Pete's" arms, Gerty
with Bickard, two other masculine cou
pies. The Hardlns were the only wom
en aboard.
It was because of Tom that Innet
felt resentment when the uplifted ap
pealing chin, the lace ruffles fluttered
by. Tom, lying outside an unfriendly
tent I
It was easy. In that uncertain light
to avoid Blckard's glance of recogni
tion. Estrada, who bad come aboait*
with the manager, sought her out an(f
then Crothers of the O. P. Again, six
saw Bickard dancing with the linger!*
gown. There seemed to be no attempt
to cover Gerty's preference; for Bick
ard, she was the only woman there)
Because she was Tom's sister, she had
a right to resent It, to refuse to meel
his eye. Small wonder Tom did not
come to the Delta!
Going In with Mac Lean, Jr., to the
messroom for a glass of water, she met
Bickard, on his way out Bhe man
aged to avoid shaking hands with him.
She wondered why she bad consented
to give him the next waltz.
"He'll not And me," she determined
Mac Lean followed her gladly to the
dark comer of the deck where'* Jose's
guitar was then syncopating an accom
paniment to hi* "amlgo's" volce.
GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. MAY 28, 1919
, To her surprise, Rlckard penetrated
her curtain of shadows.
"Our dance, Miss Hardin? Give Ul
'Sobr' Las Olas,' again, Jose."
The hand that barely touched hla
arm was stiff with antagonism. 8h«
told herself that he had to dance with
her—politeness, conventionality, de
manded It But, Instantly, she forgot
her resentment, and forgot their awk
ward relation. It was his dancing, not
Gerty's, then, that waa "superb." Any
body oould find skill under the leader,
ahlp of that Irresistible atep. And then
the motion claimed her. She thought
of nothing; they moved aa one to the
liquid falling beat ,
The music dropped them suddenly,
Rotating them at the stern of the deck.
The silence was complete. Rlckard
broke It to aak her what ahe 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 Ond all the grlmness
you want If you look beneath the sur
face."
• The guitars were tuning np. "Shall
I take you back? I have this dance
with your sister."
She thought of Tom—on his lonely
cot outside his tent She forgot that
she had been asked a question. He
was dancing again with Gerty! If thut
silly little woman had no fcruples, no
One 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 men
should suggest tact It not decency I It
was outrageous.
Rlckard stood waiting to be dis
missed; puzzled. Through the uncer
tain light, ber anger came to him. She
looked taller, older; there was a flame
of accusing passion In her eyes.
It was his minute of revelation. So
that waa what the camp thought I The
wife of Hardin—Hardin 1 Why, he'd
been only polite to her—they were old
friends. What had he said to eall down
this sudden scorn? "Dancing—again—"
Had he been all kinds of an ass?
"My turn. Miss Innes!" demanded
Mac Lean, Jr.
"Oh, yes," she cried, relief In her
tone.
Rlckard did not claim his dance
with Mrs. Hardin. He stood where
the girl had left him, thinking. A few
minutes later, Gerty swept by In the
arms of Breck. Later, came Innes
with Junior; the two, thinking them
selves unseen, romping through a two
step like two young children. He was
never shown thnt side of her. Goy as
a young kitten, chatting merrily with
Mac Lean! Should her eyes discover
him, she would be again the huughty
young woman!
He'd gone out of his way to be po
lite to the wife of Hardin. What did
be care what they thought? He'd fin
ish bis Job, and get out.
A minute later, he was being rowed
back to camp.
CHAPTER XXI,
A Complete Camp.
"Complete, Isn't It?" Estrada was
leading Innes Hardin through tbe en
gineers' quarters.
"Yes, It's complete!"
Her Brother had told her at break
fast that morning how grandly they
bad been wasting time! She would
not let herself admire tbe precision of
the arrangements, the showers back of
the white men's quarters, the mesqult
shaded kitchen. Gerty's elaborate set
tling was of a piece. It would seem,
with the new management. House
keeping, not fighting, then, tbe new
order of things!
Tom was afire to get his gate done.
81ie knew what it meant to him; to
the volley. The flood waters had to
be controlled. That depended, Tom
had proved to her, on tbe gate. And
the men dance and piny house, as If
they rfcre children, and every day
counting!
She thought she was keeping her ac
cusations to herself, but Estrada was
watching he;- face.
"We are here, you know, for a siege.
There are months of work ahead, hot
months, hard moaths. The men have
got to be kept well and contented. Ws
can't lose any time by sickness—" He
wnnted to add "and dissensions." The
split camp was painful to him, an Es
trada. "Even after we finish the gatet
If we do finish It —"
She wheeled on him, her eyes gleam
ing like deep yellow Jewels. "You've
never thought we could finish It I"
Estrada hesitated over his answer.
"You are a friend of Tom's, Mr. Es
trada r
"Surely I But lam also an admirer
of Mr. Rlckard, I mean of bis methods.
I can never forget the levee."
-#lie had to acknowledge that Rick*
ard had scored there. And the burn
ing of the machinery had left a wound
thut she still must salve.
"You have no confidence In ths
goteT'
"The conditions have changed,"
urged Estrada. "You've seen the mess
tent? As It was planned. It was all
right, a hurry-up defense. Marshall
all along Intended the concrete gate
for the permanent Intake. Have you
seen the gsp the Hsrdln gate Is to
close? Huve you heard what the last
floods did to It? It's now twenty-sis
hundred feet, and Disaster Island,
which your brother planned to anchor
to, swept away! If It can be done, It
will, you can rest assured, with Rlck
ard—" he saw tbe Hardin mouth then
—"and your brother's zeal, and ths
strength of the railroad back of tbem."
The camp formed a hollow trape
zium ; the Hardlns' tents, and Mrs.
Dowker's, were Isolated on the short
parallel. Rlckard's ramada and his
lent were huddled with the engineers'.
Across, towsrd tbe river, behind Mng's
mesqultes, began another polygon, ths
camp of foremen and white labor.
Some of these tents were empty.
"Is this Mexico, or the States?"
aaked Innes.
"Mexico." She wondered why ha
baited so sbruptly. She did not see.
for the glare In ber eyes, a woman's
skirt In the rsmsds they approached.
Estrada marched on.
Outside tbe ramada, the two woman
met Gerty's stop carried her past
She Waved Her Hand Oayly. *
like n high-bred horse. Her high heels
cut Into the hard sand. There was a
suggestion of prance In her mien. She
waved her hand gayly at the two,
cried, "How hot It Is I" and passed on.
Innes suw Rlckard at hla long pine
table used for a desk.
"I can see It all from here." Not for
money would tbe sister of Tom Hsr
dln go In!
At table, that evening, her family
heard with surprise deity's announce
ment that they were to eat In the mess
tent with the men. It was too hot to
cook any longer; this had been one of
the hottest days In tbe year.
She expected to hear a protest to
the new arrangement from Tom. She
was to see a new development—sullen
resignation. If be would accept It, she
must not argue. Both sister and broth
er knew why It was too warm to cook
any longer.
To be continued.
ANTIQUITY OF
DECORATIVE ART
Strange Sources From Which
Pigments Used by Modern
Painters Are Derived.
PRESERVATION OF SURFACES.
Crude but effective Processes Employ,
ed by the Egyptians and Qreeks ef
Pliny's Dsy—Nesh Prudently
Waterproofed the Ark.
Whether paint waa Invented In an
swer to a need for s preservative or to
saeet a desire for beauty Is a question
fully ss knotty aa the ancient one about
the relative time of arrival of the
chicken oi the egg. It was Invented,
though, and It serves both purposes
squally; so whether It la an offspring
of mother necessity or an adopted son
sf beauty remains forever a disputed
question.
The first men, cowering under ths
fierce and glaring suns of ths biblical
countries, constructsd rude hats of
wood to shelter them. Tbe perishable
aatureof these structures caused rapid
decay, and It Is probabls that ths oc
cupants, seeking some artlfldsl means
of preservation, bit upon the -pigments
of the earth In their search. It Is per
haps natural to suppose thst It waa
the instinct of preservstlon that led
men to the search, although the glorlea
of tbe sunsets sad the beauties of the
rainbow may have created a desire to
Imitate thoee wonders In tbelr own
dwellings.
The earliest record of the applica
tion of a preservative to a wooden
etructure dates from the ark, which
was, according to the Bible, "pitched
within and without" The pilch was a
triumph of preservation whatever It
lacked as a thing of beauty.
Decoration applied to buildings first
cones to light with sndent Babylon,
whose walls were covered with repre
eentstlona of hantlng scenes snd of
combsL These were done la red ssd
the method followed wss to pslnt the
scene on tbe bricks st ths time of
sissufscture, assuring permanence by
baking. Strictly speaking, this waa
not painting so mach ss It wss tbe
earliest manifestation of our own fa
miliar kalaomlnlng.
Tbe first Hebrew to mention point
ing Is Hoses. In the tblrty-thlrd chap
ter of the book of Numbers he In
' structs the Israelites, "When ye have
1 passed over the Jordsn Into the Isnd
of Canaan, then shall ye drive out all
the Inhabltanta of tbe land from be
: fore you and deatroy all tbelr pic
tures. . . ,"
At later periods the Jews adopted
many customs of tbe peoplee who Suc
cessively obtained power over them
snd In the apocryphal book of tbe
Maccabeee la found this slluston te
the srt of decorating, "For a a the mas
ter builder of a new house must care
for the whole building, but be that
andertaketh to set It out and paint It.
must seek out thlnga for the adorning
thereof."
Although Homer gives credit to s
Oreek for the discovery of pslat, the
allualons te It In the books of Moses,
the painted mummy cases of the Egyp
tians and the decorated walls of Baby
lon and Thebes fix Its orlgia at a
period long antecedent to the Grecian
era. Tbe walls of Thebes were paint
ed 1,000 years before tbe coming of
Christ and 866 years before " 'Omer
smote bis bloomln' lyre."
Tbe Oreeka recognized the vslue of
paint ss s preservative snd msde use
of something akin to It on their ahlpa.
Pliny writes of the SMde of boll leg
wax and painting ablpa with It, ffter
which, hs continues, "neither the ess,
nor the wind, nor tbe sun ran destroy
Iks wood thus protected."
The Romans, being essentially a
warlike people, never brought the dec
oration of buildings to the high plane
It had reached with the Greeks. For
all that the ruins of Pompeii show
many structures whose mural decora
tions are In fair shape today. The
colors used were glaring. A black
background was the usual one and the
combinations worked thereon red, yel
low and bins.
Ia the early Christian era the tiae of
Mosaics for churches somewhat sup
pleated mural painting. Still, during
tits reign of Justlnlan.the Church of
■slat Sophia was bullMl Constantino

paintings.
Ia modern times the uses of paint

Ka one thinks of the exterior of s
wooden building now except In terms
•f paint coated. Interiors, too, from
pslnted walls and stained furniture
down to the lowliest kitchen utensil,
all receive their protective covering.
Steel, so often associated with cement
re-enforcing, Is painted before It goes
to gtve solidity to the manufactured
stone. Tbe huge girders of the sky
