CHAPTER I-K. C. Rlckard, an engi
neer of the Overland Pacific, Is called to
the offlce of President Marshall In Tuc
•on. Art*. "Casey" is an enigma to the
offlce force; he wears "dude" clothes,
but he had resigned * 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 Qcrty
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 half sitter. Disappointed in her
husband and an incorrigible coquette,
Mrs. Hardin sets 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
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 his work
will fall. "I can't see it finished."
CHAPTER Vll—lnnes Is discovered In
her garden. She tries to cheer up Hardln #
who is furious asralnst Rlckard.
CHAPTER X—The Hardin dinner to
Rlckard discloses further the family char
acteristics. Hardin Is surly and sulky.
Innes Is hardly polite. Qerty plans a
"progressive ride" in Rickard'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 VIII—A family" luncheon of
the Hardlns which throws light on them.
CHAPTER IX—4lardln discovers that
Rlckard is planning a levee to protect
Calexlco and puts him down as Incom
petent. Qerty thinks her lord jealous.
CHAPTER XlT—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 station.
CHAPTER Xlll—Gerty Hardin decides
that Rlckard still lov«*s 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 Maclean, Rlckard's secretary,
brings word that the river Is raging and
•very man Is wanted on the levee.
CHAPTER XV—Hardin motors off with
& load of dynamite, leaving everything In
confusion on the levee. Innes, through a
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 Is In
danger again.

CHAPTER XXIX.
A Glimpse of Freedom.
The siding was deserted. The Pal
myra had run c.ut to Tuscon. Marshall
had gone without npprehenslon. They
did not expect now to nave setbucks,
to have to extend the time set for the
ultimate diversion. The days were
flowing like oil. The encampment was
filling up with visitors, newspaper men
who came to report the spectaculai
capture of the river.
Rlckard's day badly begun, piled up
with vexations. Ily sundown, he was
wet to the skin, and mad us a sick Ari
zona cat. v
In this Jaundiced Juncture, Mnt>
Lean, Jr., brought down his dlspatcbei
to the river. He rend of the burnlnn
of a tralnlond of railroad ties. Rlckard
■wore.
"Anything else plensant?"
"A letter from the governor—from
dad." Mac Lean read that his fatliei
begged a small favor of Rlckard.
"Godfrey, the celebrated English
tenor, Is on my hands. Ills doctort
have beon advising outdoor occupa
tion. I am sending him to you, ask
ing you to give him any Job you maj
have. lie is willing to do anything
Put him at something to keep him oc
cupied."
Mac Lean saw Rlckard's face turn
red. "Suffering cats! A worn-out
opera singer! What sort of an opera
does he think we're giving down here?
Why doesn't he sentl me a fur coat, or
a pair of girl twins? Give the tenor
a role I Anything else? Pile It all
on."
"Oh, and one from Godfrey himself.
He's In Los Angeles. He says he'll be
here tomorrow." He did not wait for
his chiefs reply.
At the supper table, Rlckard, dry
and in restored humor, alluded to the
Invasion of high notes. "Pity the part*
are all assigned! The only vacancy
Is In the kitchen. I wonder how he
would like to be understudy to Ling I '
The next day when the Incident had
been forgotten, nod while Rlckard was
up at the Crossing oh the concrete
gate, Godfrey blew Into camp. He
wan like a boy out on o lnrk. Hl*
brown eyes were dancing over the ad
venture. He explored the camp and
came back bubbling.
"It'* the blgge*t I ever raw. But any,
Junior, that'* what they call you.
Isn't It? I'm the only Idle man here.
Can't you give me Home thing to do?
I'll do anything. I'd like the bo** to
find me butty when he come* In."
)lacLenp softened the offer. Perhaps
Godfrey Blew Into Camp.
until Mr. Godfrey learned the ropes he
could be of general use. They were
short-handed the present moment—
there was another hesitation—ln the
kitchen 1 Ling, the Chinese cook, was
overcrowded —so many visitors —
"Great," crowed Godfrey, slapping
him on tlie shoulder. "I don't want to
feel In the way. I want to earn my
board. Lead me to the cook I"
That evening, the dinner was helped
on Its way oy the best-paid singer of
England. In an apron, borrowed of
Ling, lie was "having the time of his
life." Ling, pretending to scold, hud
been won Immediately. Rlckard, hear
ing of the jolly advent, forgot Ills vex
ation, and Immediately on his return
made his way to the mesquit Inciosure
—to greet the frienl of George Mac-
Lenn.
After dinner, Mn'.-Lean curried off
his prize to the Delta, where Godfrey
earned his welcome. Gcrty Hardin for
got to flirt with the engineers; sho
had discovered a new sensation. The
wondertcl voice twisted ner heart
strings; It told her that the heart that
uas truly loved never forgets, and slie
knew that she could never have really
loved, yet, because the youth In her
veins was whispering to ner that she
could still forget. Godirey saw a mo
bile plaintive face turned up to the
gibbous moon; he swept It with thrills
and flushes. She was a wonderful au
dience ; she was also his orchestra, the
woman with the plaintive eyes. He
played on her expressions as though
she were a harp.
i.,ater, he was presented to Mrs.
Hardin. She told him that the camp
would no longer be dull j thnt she nad
ten every afternoon Ir her rnniaoa.
She convicted nlin archly of British
hood. "She krjew he must have his
tea 1"
"You American women are the won
ders of the world! Nothing daunts you.
In the desert, and you Rive afternoon
teas. I'll oe there every day!"
He gave her open admiration; she
looked young and wistful In her soft
flowing mulls, the moonlight helping
her. She fell Into a delicious flurry of
nerves and excitement Later, she
wandered with him from a rude gaping
World Into a heaven of silvered decks
and gleaming waters. He told her of
himself, of his loneliness; his music
had dropped him to self-pity.
Gerty Hardin heard her bars drop
behind her. She snatched her first
glimpse of freedom.
CHAPTER XXX.
The Dragon Scores.
The Palmyra was once again on Its
Riding. Marshall was at the front
again; having made another ot his
swift dashes from Tucson. This time
ho expected officially to close the gate.
Claudia was with hlrn. She never left
the caft unless It were to step out to
the platform to see what she could
from there of the river work.
Hardin and Rlckard had been devot
ing anxious weeks. A heavy rainfall
and cloudburst In the mountains of
northern Arizona had swollen the feed
ers of the Gila river which roared
down M the Colorado above Yuma.
The eroding moun
tains Id tolutlon whl/h settled against
the t»at a scour parting above arid |
below It Belief liiiX to be given on |
the Jump. A spur truck was rushed
across the by-pass above the gate, as
the closing of the 111-fated gate with
the flashboards was no longer possible.
A rock-flll was the only means of
closure. In the distant quarries men
were digging out rock to Oil the call
from the river.
Marshall came down to see the com
pleted spur. ISefore he reached the
Intake, the first rock train bad moved
onto the spur track. Tin* trestle had
settled, the train bad neen thrown
from the rails and wrecked.
Marshall came In from the damaged
trestle, bringing Rlckard and Crothers.
Mrs. Marshall had Invited Innes Har
din to dine with them. Innes fell to
flushing, and chilling, as a lithe-mus
cled figure came directly to her. Ills
eyes—where was the look she had I
feared, of possessive tenderness? The
quizzical gleam was gone. On guard!
A solemn business, loving, when you
know that It means—life! On guard,
though, to her! She pulled her fin
gers from his strong lingering clasp,
and Joined Mrs. Marshall.
Rlckard had his soldier look on. She
was watching him covertly as he
talked with his host and Crothers, as
though she were not there; as though
something were not waiting for him to
claim. How could he be talking, ob
livious of everything else In the world
except the river? Was that —loving?
Could sbe think of anything else when
he was In the same room with her?
He was a soldier of the modern army.
It came to her, a sort of tender divi
nation, that he would not divide his
thoughts, even with her. with love, un
til his battle was won. Well, couldn't
she understand that? What her accu
sation against Gerty? Sex honor—

own notion? Ouglitn't she to be proud
of him?
She had brought n nest of waßplsh
thoughts tumbling about her ears.
Qertyl He hod loved Oerty. He
couldn't love her. If his thoughts hacV
ever lingered, with that same serious
ly solemn look on the falso little face
of her sister-in-law.
After dinner they were standing In
the shnde of the Palmyra. It was a
soft still afternoon. The fierceness of
the savuge desert had melted to her
days of'lure. Beyond, the turbid wa
ters of the Colorado bore a smiling sur
face. There wag nothing to hint of
treachery.
It was n minute of pleasant lassi
tude, snatched from the turmoil. Rlck
ard had succumbed to the softuess of
the dity and his mood. He was enjoy
ing the thought of Innes' nearness,
though she kept her face turned from
him. He knew by the persistence of
those averted eyes that she was as
acutely conscious of his presence t.s lie
was, restfully, of hers. Deliberately,
he was prolonging the Instant.
A stir on the river had caught the
ulert eye of Tod Marshall. He swore
a string of picturesque Marshallinn
oaths. Itlckard's eyes Jumped toward
the by-pass. The placid waters had
suddenly buckled. Majestically tlio
gate rose und went out. Months ot
work swept away! The gate drifted
n hundred feet or more. Some unseen
obstruction caught it there, to mock
at the labors of man.
Innes, aghast, turned toward Rlck
ard. His face was expressionless.
There was a babel of excited voices
behind them, Bodefeldt, Mac Lean,
Tony, Crothers, Bangs, all talking at
once. Her eyes demanded'something
of Rickard. A fierce resentment rose
agnlESt '.ils calmness. "He knew It."
she rebelled. "He's been expecting
this to happen. It's no tragedy to
him I" There was a stab as of physi
cal pain; she was visualizing the blow
to Tom.
She heard Marshall's voice, speak
ing to Klckard. "Well, you're ready
(or this." She did not hear the an
•wer, for already Klckard was needing

for the by-pass. Marshall and the
young englueerg followed him.
To Innes that wreck down yonder
was worse thnn failure; It was ruin.
It Involved Tom's life. It was his life.
This would be the final crushing of his
superb courage—her thoughts released
from 'heir paralysis were whipped by
sudden fear. She must find him, be
with him. The next Instant she was
speeding toward the encampment
Kxtrada met her on the run.
Had Oerty heard? The pity that
she must know! She would not be ten
der to Tom; her pride would be
wounded. She must ask her to be ten
der, generous. Her footsteps slack
ened as she came In sight of the tents.
She heard voices In the ramnda, a
man's clear notes mingling with Ger
ty's childish treble. "Godfrey I" Iler
mind Jumped to other tete-a-tetes. Of
cotiraei So that was what was going
on. And she not aeelngl If not one
man. then another! Horrid little clan

The meeting was awkward. Speed
ily Innes got rid of the news. Mrs.
Hardin shrugged. "I believe I'll go
out." Plaintively, she made the an
nouncement, as though It were JuMt
evolved. "Now, the camp will be hor
rid. Kverybody will be cross and
everybody will be working."
As she left the tent beyond, Innes
could hear the vibrant voice of God
frey persuading Mrs. Hardin to stay
there u few weeks longer. She could
hear blm say, "This will delay the turn
ing of the river at the most but a few
weeks. Itlckard told me so a week ago.
And think what It would be here with
out you I"
"They were all expecting It I" resist
ed Innes Hardin. Hhe turned back to
ward the river. She must find Tom.
CHAPTER XXXI.
A Sunday Spectacle.
Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before It was recognized. Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
heady, the white man's sliver acting
like wine. Few of the braves had
dreamed of ever possessing sums of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Rickard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was a day of feasting,
followed by a gorged sleep; the next
day one of languor, of growing Inco
besion.
Rickard spoke of It to Coronet.
"Like small baby," hunched the old
shoulder*. "Happy baby. Pretty soon
stop."
With the next wages went a repri
mand. then a warning. Still followed
bad Mondays. Rickard then Issued a
formal warning to all the tribes.
"The situation with the Indians Is
serious," said Rickard to Mac Lean.
"They're getting liquor In here, soma
wsy, the Lord only knows how. Any
way, they're not At for burning Mon
day morning. I've just sent them word
by Coronel that It's got to quit, or they
do." _ ...
"Suppose they do?' MocLean was
stßrtled. Not ail Indian could be
spared at that stage of the game.
"Bluff I" Rlckard got up. "They
won't take the chance of losing that
money. I'm oft now to the Crossing.
I'll leave you In charge here."
The next morning Wooster broke In
to the ramada where MacLcan sat
clicking his typewriter.
"Everything's up. Rickard's done It
now. Sent some all-Bred, Independent
kindergarten orders to 'the Indiana.
Says they have to be In bed by ten
o'clock, or somo such hour on Satur
day and Sunday nights. It's a strike,
their answer. That's what his monkey
ing has brought down on us."
"They're not going to quit?"
"They've sent word they won't work
on MoAduys, and they will go to bed
when they choose Saturday nights.
Losing orrf day a week I We can't
stand (or that. Luck's been playing
Into his hands, but this will show htm
up. Thls'll show Marshnll his pet
clerk. Tell Casey there'll be no In
dians tomorrow." He sputtered an>
grlly out of the office.
Rlckard seemed pleased when Mac-
Lean made the announcement a fen
hours la'er.
His secretary was weighing him
l 'Wliat do you intend to do about ltT"
"Call tlie'r bluff," grinned Cnsey,
showing teeth tobacco had not bad a
chance to spoil. "Boycott'"them."
MacLenn found Wooster at the river
bank with Tom Hardin. The two men
were watching a pile-driver sot a re-

to Hupplement the one which hud been
hent out of line by the weight of net
tling drift. Marshall's plan wa* being
followed, though Jeered at by reclama
tion men and the engineer* of the D.
It. company.
"Btop the mattress weaving and
dump like hell!" had been his order*.
"Boycott the Indium*, well I'm
Mowed," the beady eye* sparkled at
Hardin. "Now he's cut bin own
throat."
"By the eternal!" swore Hurdtn.
MacLeun left the two engineer* match
ing oath*.
There wax an omlnoti* quiet the nest
day. Not un Indian offered to work at
the river. A few stolid buck* came to
their tank* on Tuesday morning; they
were told by Itlcknrd himself that
there was no work for (hetn. Illckard
appeared Ignorant of the antagonism
of the engineers.
An unfathered rumor started that
Rlrkurd was 111 with the Ilecloinatlon
Service men; that he wanted the work
to fall; to bo udopted by the Hervlce.
Marl.cmi broke a lance or two against
the absurd slander. He was making
tne discovery that a man's friendship
for a man may be deeper than a man'*
love for a woman. He was a Illckard
man. He was made to feel the re
proach of It.
Wednesday not an Indian reported.
Coronel passed from camp to camp,
his advice unpopular. Scout* sent out
to watch the work on the river report
ed It was crippled. The white man
would be sending for tlu/ Indian soon.
The waiting brave* sat on their
haunches, grinning and smoking their
f/lpes.
Saturday night the camp went
gloomily to bed. On the Indian side
there wa* no revel, no feasting or
dancing.
Illckard did not turn In until after
midnight, planning alternative*, lie
was sleeping bard when Mael>eun, at
dawn, dashed Into his tent.
"Quick, what doe* thl* meon?"
It was a splendid spectacle, and
staged superbly. For background, the
sharp-edged mountains flushing to
(■lnks and purples against a one-hued
iky; the river-growth of the old chan
nel uniting them, blotting out miles .if
desert Into a flat scene. On the op
posite batik of the New river, live
hundred strong, lined up formidably,
their faces grotesque and feroclou*
with pnlnt, were the seven trllies. The
sun's rays glinted up from their fire
arms, shotguns, revolvers. Into a mot
ley of defiance! Cocopah*, with
streaming hair, blanketed NiivaJ"">,
short-haired I'lnias those Iri front rein
ing in their silent pinto ponies, and all
motionless, silent In that early tnoru
tfig light
"What doc* It mean?" whispered
Mail-can. Illckard did not answer. He
had one nauseous Instant as he looked
toward Inne*' tent. Then he broke Into
laughter.
"See, the white horse, no. In front—"
"By Jove," Macl-ean *l*pped hi*
thigh. "Coronel! They had tne buf
faloed. Whot do you think It Is?"
Illckard stepped oft Into the wash
of morning air anil waved o solemn
salute across the river. Gravely It
was returned by Coronel.
"What doe* It mean?" demanded
Maclean.
"It mean* we've won," chuckled his
chief, coining back Into his tent.
An hour later Coronel led In a picked
group of the tribe*. If the white chief
would recall the boycott the Monday
strike wa* over. The white man's «ll*

On Now Year's day 1923, there will
begin a remarkable series of divi
dend payments to American people
Hundreds of millions of dollars of
War Savings Stamps sold dßring 1918
will then be redeemable. On each
News Year's day thereafter for a num
ber of years there will undoubtedly
be huge returns to the American poo-
Pie of the money borrowed with in
terest.
These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
Institutions? How can thle money,
the product of thrift, be mobilized for
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department to
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there Is a wide range of
thrift Institutions that will take
charge of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings. As
the government plans to borrow by
general education of thrift in every
kind, so the banks and thrift Institu
tions can aid the government by en
couraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One of the first stops to bo taken by
bankers Is that of spreading Informa
tion about banks, life Insurance, build
ing and loan associations, federal farm
loans, and all other thrift institutions.
The beht way to meet Uncle Sum's
borrowing needs Is to promote thrift
on the broadest possible lines.
Kverv dollar deposited In a savings
bank becomes available for national
finance. Kvery life insurance policy
sold Is equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Kvery obligation
assumed by thrifty people such as a
building mortgage Is a stimulus to
production and saving, und therefore,
as much a national service as the di
rect purchase of government securi
ties, In placing these matters eloarly
before everybody la his community
the banker will live up to his opportu
nities and bis responsibilities In the
new thrift movement. When the bil
lion dollar New Year Days arrive he
will be ready.
TELLS HOW SHE BUYS
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Woman Tells How by Intelligent Sav
ings Plan She la Able to Accumu
late Money Which Waa Formerly
Wasted.
"Save while the money is warm" la
the motto of a woman who haa I'wtab
llshed u reputation both for herself
and her family by the number of Wur-
Sarin** Stamps ahe bought without
apparently stinting In tha least, Here
I* her system. V
"The only way to nave la to Have.
When I have actually saved a quarter
I put It Into a Thrift Stamp without
delay. If I save that quarter on one
thing and then spend It carelessly for
something also, I have not saved any
real money.
"For example the other day I went
down town expecting to pay 110 for
a pair of apeclal shoes. To my sur
prise, I found there was a sale that
day. and got the very pair of shoes I
wanted for 17,75 1 had saved $2 2b.
But how to keep II saved. I kn«»w that
If 1 simply regarded It mentally as
saving, before the end of the month it
would be spent miscellaneously, 1
went right down atalrs lo the store
and bought nine Thrift Stamps «nd
stuck those quarters In the Thrift etird
where they could not get sway before
the end of the month.
"J do the same thing when I have
saved a single quarter or half dollar,
and 1 am seriously thinking of Ketting
a little penny bank to hold saved pen
nies or dimes until they grow to Thrift
Stamp size. What Is more, I am get
ting a whole lot of fun out of thli
most fascinating game, the Knme of
