CHAPTER I—K. C. Rlckard, an" engi
neer of the Overland Pacific, la called to
the office of President Marshall In Tuc
son, Ariz. "Casey" Is an enigma to the
of flee force; he wears "dude" clothes,
but he had resigned a chair of engineer
ing In the East to go 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 Rlckard and had married Gerty
Holmes, with whom Rlckard had fancied
he was In love.
CHAPTER ll—Marshall tells Rlckard
the Overland Pacific has got to step In
to save 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 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,
Hardin's halt sitter. Disappointed in her
husband and an Incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin seta her cap for her former
lover and Invites him to dinner.
CHAPTER V—Rlckard visits the com
pany's offices and takes control. He finds
the engineers loyal to Hardin and hos
tila to him. Estrada, a Uexlcan, son of
the "Father of the Imperial Valley," tells
blm of the general situation.
CHAPTER Vl—Rlckard attends a
meeting of the directors and asserts hi*
authority. Hardin rages. Estrada tells
Rlckard of hla foreboding that his work
will fall. "I can't see It finished."
CHAPTER Vll—lnnes Is discovered in
her garden. She tries to cheer up Hardin,
Who is furloua aaalnst 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 tide" In Rlckard'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 fighting chance" on
the completion of Hardin's pet project,
a gate to shut the break In the river.
CHAPTER VTII—A family luncheon of
the Hardlns which throws light on them.
CHAPTER IX—foardln discovers that
Rlckard Is planning a levee to protect
Calexlco and puts him down as Incom
petent. Oerty thinks her lord Jealous.
CHAPTER Xll—San Francisco Is de
stroyed by earthquake and Are. 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 station.
CHAPTER Xlll—Oerty Hardin decides
that Rlckard still loves her and plans a
campaign that promises trouble.
XIV—The progressive rid
Is begun under adverse condition*—win
and duit, with the guest of honor absent
Then MaoLenn, Rlckard's secretary
brings word that the river la raging ant
•very man la wanted on the levee.
CHAPTER XV—Hardin motor® off with
a load of dynamite, leaving everything In
confusion on the levee. Innes, through a
friendly engineer, Issues prder* In her
brother's name, to save her brother's
face. The levee and the signal tower save
Calexlco till Rickard's return. +
CHAPTER XVl—Gerty Hardin begins
to get really Interested In Rlckard. The
wind blows a gale and the levee Is in
danger again.
CHAPTER XXVII.
The Walk Home.
Claudia Marshall sat at the head of
her stately table in the Palmyra, mate
as a statue but for the burning eyes
which followed her Tod. To Innes,
her guest, It was a tragic presence, of
brooding solicitude.
Late hours, excitement, might
abridge the life she so passionately
policed; but she would not demand
the sacrifice of his cigar.
Marshall's cigar followed the coffee.
Tony, the white-capped Italian cook of
the I'almyra, was removing the cups.
Innes was carrying her double Inter
est, listening to Tod Marshall's broad
sweep, getting a new-viewpoint as he
minimized the local scheme—feeling
that silent presence at the head of the
table.
Then something drove Claudia from
her mind. What Mr. Marshall had said
swept a disturbing calcium on Tom.
What If, truly, the river fiasco could
be traced to that overzealous hand? To
loin, tilts undertaking blotted out the
rest of related big endeavor; but that
was not the way her host was looking
at it. He was too courteous to give
her discomfort; he had not said It di
rectly. Hut always it met her, rose up
to smite her, wherever she was. Was
It not egotism, personal pride, that was
making her cover her eyes, Ilk* any
simple ostrich? Her brother —assume
him anybody else's brother! The
tlredge fiasco—the wild night at the
levee —no Isolated accidents those.
Hardin's luck 1
A flush of miserable shame came to
her. How they had all been trying to
spare her —Kduardo, these kindly Mar
shalls—Mnt-Lean ! She was turning.
Impulsively, to ask Tod Marshall if be
thought, could he fliink it probable
that they would fall, when a step that
sent the blood to her face took the
car's stairs at two leaps. Now, In
deed, the dinner was spoiled.
"That's Rlckarc'. I forgot to tell yoo
that I asked him to dinner. He couldn't
get away. He said he'd run In tot cof
fee. Hello, Rlckurd. Thought yon'd
forgotten us!"
She hadn't thought of that contin
gency! She found herself shaking
hands with him. Could he not bear hei
mind, ticking away at the Maidonadc
episode?
Of course he would Insist on seeing
ber to her tent. Punctilious, alw.-ya
Well, she Just wouldn't Perhaps she
could slip out some way. She wooM

Innes confided her plan. She wanted

to slip ont. "She would not Interrupt
their evening; Mr. Marshall had busi
ness to discuss—"
Mrs. Marshall would not hear of It.
She said that Mr. Marshall would
never forgive her if she let Miss Har
din go home alone. Her opposition
was softly implacable.
Innes went back to the sitting room
of the car angrily coerced. Itlcknnl
was still closeted, conversationally,
with his superior.
At last, desperately, she rose to go.
Of course, he must Insist upon going
with her. Of course I
"I was going back early, anyway.
Fm to be up at dawn tomorrow."
The good-bys were said. She found
herself walking rebelllously by Ms
side. "No, thank you!" to the oiler of
his arm.
The night was bright with stars.
"Bright aa day. Isn't it?" Because her
voice vjas curt, and she had not used
his the rising inflection helped
a little I Hateful, to stumble over a
rut In the road I Of course, he'd make
her take his arm 1 Of course 1
Rlckard grasped her elbow. She
walked along, her head high, her
Cheeks flaming, anger surging through
her at his touch.
Stupid to press this companionship,
this awkward silence on her. If he
thoilght she was going to entertain
him, as Gerty did, with her swift chat
ter, he'd be surprised I Any other two
people would fall Into easy give-and
take, but what could she, Innes Har
din, find to chatter about with this
mnn stalking along, grimly grasping
her arm? Close as they were, his touch
reminding her every minute, between
them walked her brother and her
brother'/? wife—and there was the
Mexican —hateful memory! Of course
she could not be casual. And she
would not force It. He had brought
thU about. Let him talk, then!
Oppressive that silence. Then It
came to her that she would iisk him
the question that his coming had abort
ed. A glance at his face found him
smiling. He found It amusing? Not
for worlds, then, would she speak. And
they stalked along. Unconsciously she
had pulled herself away from him. Ho
took her hand and put It In the crotch
of his arm. "That's better," he said.
She wondered if he were still smiling.
Their path led by his tent. Neither
of them noticed a subdued light
through the canvas walls. As they
reached the place a figure darted from
the door.
"Oh, senor, I thought you would
never come." It was the wife of Mai
donado. Her expression wan lout on
loneg. The face was quivering with
terror.
"Mr. Rlckard," Inne.s' words like
Icicles, "I will leave you here. It in
quite unnecessary to come farther."
Quite unveiled her meaning I
It came so quickly that he was not
ready; nor indeed had Oerty's innuen
does yet reached him. But the situation
was uncomfortable. He turned sharp
ly to the Mexican.
"Come In," he took her roughly by
the arm. She would wake up the camp
wtth her crying. He put her Tn a chair.
"Now your story." The woman
had got to be a nuisance. He couldn't
have her comlrg around like this. He
had seen that look In the girl's eyes—
"Murdered? Who did you say was
murdered?"
She lifted a face, frightened Into
haggardness. "Maldonudo and the
girl."
J'he Alght was stripped to the trag
edy. "You found th«>m?"
Her face was lifted Imploringly to
him. "Oh, senor. It was not I. By the
Mother of Christ, It was not L"
IMckard was not sure. Her fear
made him suspect her. "Who was It,
you think?"
"Felipe," she gasped. "He got away
from the rurales—be came back. Hp
went home—there was no one there.
Home one told him where she had
gone. He came to Maldonadb's. Lu
crezla, the eldest, opened the gate. He
was terrible, she said. He rushed past
her. And when he came out his hands
were red. The children heard cries.
They wero afraid to go In. I got there
last night. 1 went in. They were not
quite cold — I was afraid to stay. It
would look like me, senor. Will they
take me, senor?" Hhe was a wreck
of terror.
'Not what you tell me Is true.
Now, get to bed. I'll give you some
thing that will make you sleep." Ma
hustled her out and prepared the
draught
He wondered as he got Into bed as
to the truth of her story. Disgusting,
such animal terror! Awkward hole,
that Fate seemed possessed to queer
him with those Hardlns!
CHAPTER XXVIII.
A Discovery.
The murder of Maldonado shook the
camp next morning. Three rurales, to

the office/ announced that they were
on the track ot a criminal, the mnr
derer of a rurale, Maldonado. He wai
an Indian named Felipe. He repeated
the story Rlckard had heard before.
Would the senor give his respected
permission for notices to be posted
about the camp? A description of the
Indian, a reward for his capture; the
favor would be inestimable.
Rlckard saw the notice later that
day. It was nailed to the back plat
form of the Palmyra. He was on Mar
shall's trail, his chief having failed to
keep on appointment with him. They
were to test the gate that afternoon)
Marshall was returning soon t> Tuc

Rlckard turned back toward camp,

cry lmd lost Its echo before'the Import
came to him. lie stopped, hearing run
ning steps behind him. Innes Hardin
was loping up the bank like a young
deer, with terror In her eyes.
"Mr. Rlckard I" Bhe cried. "Mr,
Rlckard I"
She was trembling. Her fright had
flushed her; cheek to brow was glow
ing with startled blood. He saw an
odd flash of startling beauty, the veil
of tnn torn off by her emotion. The
wuve of her terror cnught him. He
put out his hand to steady her. She
stood recovering herself, regaining her
spent breath. Itickard remembered
that this was the first time he had seen
her since the murder of Maldonado,
since the meeting with the Mexican
woman at his tent. "What was it
frightened you?"
"The Indian, the murderer. Just as
they describe him on those notices. 1
must have fallen asleep. I'd been
reading. I heard a noise in the brush
and there was his face staring at me."
Her breath was still uneven. "I
screamed and ran. Silly to be so
scared."
He started toward the willows, but
she grabbed his sleeve. "Oh, don't."
She flushed, thinking to meet the quiz
zical smile, but his eyes were grave.
He, too, had had his fright. They stood
staring nt each other. "I'm afraid —"
she completed. How he would despise
her cowardice! But she could not let
hltn know that her fear had been for
him!
He was looking at her. Suppose any
thing had happened to her I He had a
minute of nausea. If that brute had
hurt her —and then ho knew how It
was with him I
He looked at her gravely. Of course.
He had known It a long time. It was
trup. She was going to belong to him.
If that brute had hurt bert
She shrank under his gravity; this
was something she did not understand.
They were silent, walking toward the
encampment Itickard did not care to
talk. It was not the time; and he had
been badly shaken. Innes was tremu
lously conscious of the palpitating si
lence. Sne fluttered towurd giddy
speech. Her walk that day, Mr. Rlck
ardl She had heard that water had
started to flow down the old river bed;
she had wanted to see it, and there
was no one to go with her. Her sen
tence broke off. The look he had
turned on her was so dominant, so ten
der. Amused at her giddiness, and
yet loving her I Loving her I They
were silent again.
"You won't go off alone, again." He
hart not asked It, at parting. Hl* In
flection demanding It of her, wan of
ownership. She did not meet hi* eye*.
Later, when she was lying on her
bed, faQe downward, routed, she tried
to analyze that possessive challenge of
his gaze, but It eluded words. She
summoned her pride, but the meaning
called her, sense and mind and soul
of her. It cried to ber: "I, Casey
Klckard, whom your brother hates,
once the lover of Oerty Holmes, I am
the mate for you. And I'm gotng to
come and take you some day. Some
day, when 1 have timet"
Oh, yes, she was angry with him;
she had some pride. "Why didn't he
tell me then?" she cried In a warm tu
mult to her pillow. "For I would hate
given lilm his answer. I had time,
ample time, to tell him that It was
not true." For she wanted a different
sort of lover, not a second-hand dis
card ; but one who belonged all to her
self; one who would woo, not take her
with that strange sure look of his.
"You'll b» waiting when I come." Ah,
she would not. Indeed I She would
show him!
Am! then she lay quite still with her
hand over her heart. She would be
wultlng when he came for her! Be
catwe, though life luid brought them
together so roughly, so tactlessly bad
muddled things, yet she knew. She
would be waiting for him!
Before he bud left her. Hickard bad
followed a swift impulse. Those bronze
lamps averted still? Wt-s she remem
bering—last night? NO mistake like
thst should rest between them. He
must set that straight. That much he
allowed himself. Until his work was
done. But she kuew—she bud seen—
bow It was with him!
"I wonder if you would help me,-

The movo, coming at the climax of

it has asked the United States for

In connection with activities of the

the situation Is regarded as full of
possibilities.
