The large round clock won striking

that wn* puzzling them, lie had held

city. He hud resigned, the wind-tossed
page aald, to go on the road ns a
tlremnn. Ills rapid promotion had
been spectacular; the last move, a
few years ago, to till un olllee position
In Tucson. The summons had found
him on the west coast of Mexico,
where the Overland l'uclllc was push
ing It* track*.
"You enn wait here," suggested the
clerk, looking covertly lit the shoes of
the man who a few years before had
been shoveling coal oti n Wyoming en

"Ribbons, lusteud of shoe laces!"
enrped the human inarhlne that must

It would never hnve occurred to
Itlcknrd, bud lie thought about It nt
nil thnt morning ns he knotted his tie
of dnrk, brilliant blue silk, that the
■election of Ills lapis pin win a choice;
It was an Inevitable result, un Instinc

wnrpod, however, the suspended Judg
ment of Marshall's men, who had
never seen hlin shoveling coal, disfig
ured by a denim Jumper. They did
not know that they themselves were
■lovens. ruined by the ellmute that
dulls vanity und wilts collurs.
"Glvs him a year to change some of
his One habits I" wugered Nmytlie, the
stoop-shouldered clerk, ns the door of
the luncr office closed.
"To chnnge his hnblts less!" amend
ed the office wit. And then they fell
to speculating what .Marshall was go
ing to do with him. Whut pawn was
be In the game thnt everyone In Tuc
aon followed with enger self-Interested
concern? Mnrslmll's wu* the control
ling linnd In Arizona politics; the
innkcr of governors, the nrblter of big
corporations; president of n half*
dozen rnllrond*. ~Not u move of his
on the board thnt escaped notice.
On the other side of the door Itlck
ard was echoing the office question,
This play Job, where did It lend to?
He had liked hi* work, under Stratton,
There had been some pretty problems
to meet—whnt did Marshall nienn to
do with him?
The note had set the appointment
for nine. Ulcknrd glanced nt his,
watch and took out hi* Engineering
Review. It would be ten before that
door opened on Tod Marshall!
He knew thnt, on the road, Mar
shall's work began at dnwn. "A mnn
won't break from overwork or rust
from underwork If he follows the ex
ample of the sun," Itlckurd had often
beard him expound his favorite the
ory. "It Is only the players, Ihe syba
rites, who can nfTord to pervert tho
arrangement nature Intended for us."
But In Tucson, controlled by the wife
ly solicitude of his Claudia, he was
coerced Into a regular perversion, ills
office never saw him until the morn
ing was half gone.
A half-hour later Rlcknrd finished
reading a report on the diversion of n
(rent western river. The nume of
Tbomaa Hardin had sent him off on
a tangent of memory. The Thomas
Hardin whose efforts to bring water
to tbe desert of tbe Colorado had been
so spectacularly unsuccessful was the
Tom Hardin he had known! The sis
ter had told blm so, tbe girl with the
odd bronze eyes; opal matrix they
were, with ptltnts of gold. orjrssMt

tain Illy Is like tho course rock of lis
background. liven a half-sister to
Hardin, as Marshall, their host at din
ner the week before, had explained
It—no, even that did not explain It.
That uuy of the Hardin blood should
be Quired by the veins of that girl,
why It was Incredible! The name
"Hardin" Miggested crudity, loud
mouthed bragging; conceit. He could
understund the fullure of the river
project since the sister had assured
him thnt It wns the sumo Torn Hardin
who hud gone to college at Lawrence;
had married Oerty Holmes. Queer
business, life, that he should cross,
even HO remotely, their orbits ugnln.
Thnt was a chapter he liked to skip.

next few years of hi* life might be
caught. Comforting to reflect that an
engineer Is like a soldier, never can
be certain about tomorrow. Time
enough to know that tomorrow meant
Tucson! Whut wus that threadbare
proverb In tbe Overland Pacific thnt
Tod Marshall ulwnya keeps Ids men
until they lose their teeth? Thnt de
fined the men who made themselves
uecessury!
His eyes were resting on the humili
ties of the modern city thut had robbed
"old town" of Its flavor. Were it not
for the beauty of the distant hills, the
Jnr and rumble of the trains whose
roar called to near-by pleasure cities,
twinkling lights nild crowded theaters,
stretches of pnrks und recreation
grounds, he, who loved the thrill and
confinement of an engine who had
fouud enticement In u desert, n chap
ter of adventure In the barrancas of
Mexico, would stifle In Tucson! Amer
ican progress wus ns yet ts> thin n
veneer on Mexican Indifference to
make the place endurable —ns a city.
"I'm gissi for n lifetime here, If I
want It," his thoughts would work
buck to the sturtlug place, "If I
knuckle down to It. let him grow to
U'i>eml on me. It's as good us settled!
thnt I urn burled In Tucson!" Hadn't
he heard Murshall hlm.-a-lf say that he
"didn't keep u kindergarten—that bis
office wusn't ii training school for
men!" He wtinled his men to stay!
Thnt, ofic of the rensons of the grent
man's power; detull rested on the
shoulders of his employees. It kept
Ids own brain clear, receptive to big
achievements.
"Perhaps as the work unrolls. »s I
see more of what he wonts of me. why
he wants ma, I mny like It, 1 may get
to shout for Tucson 1" It wus Impos
sible enough to smile over! Child's
work, compared to Mexico.
The distinction of scrvlug Marshall
well certnlnly hud Its drawbacks. He
wanted to sweep on. Whether he hail
n definite terminal, a concrete goal,
hud he ever stopped to think? Spe
cialization hod always a fascination
for him. It wa* that wflich hud
thrown him out of his Instructorslup
Into the firebox of u western engine.
It had governed his course at college—
to know one thing well, and then to
prove thnt he knew It well! Content
ed In the Mexlcnn barracks, here he
was chafing, restive, after a few
week* of Tucson. For what was he
getting here? Adding wlmt scrap of
experience to the rounding of his pro
fession?
_ Jletro«pecl I vel y englnet-rlrvj could
hardly DO said to b« the work of hi*
choice. Rather had It appeared to
choose him. From boyhood engineers
had always been, to him, the soldier*
of modern civilization. To conquer
und subdue mountains, to shackle wild
rivers, to stisiiend trestle* over dizzy
heights, to throw the track* of an Ad
vancing civilization along a newly
blazed trail, there would always be a
thrill in it for him. It bad changed
the best quarterback of his high school
Into the primmest of students at col
lege. Only for a short time Inid he let
his vanity sidetrack him. when the
honor of leaching what he had learned
•topped his own progress. A rut!—

He Sad lianded in his resignation
the next day. A month later and he
was shoveling coal on the steep grades
of Wyoming.
"Marshall keeps his men with himl"
The engineer's glance traveled around
the Heckles* ofllce. A stranger to Mar
| shall would get a wrong Idea of the
man Who worked In It I Those preclge
flies, the desk, orderly and polished,
the gleaming linoleum —and then the
man who made the negro Janitor's life
a proud burden I Ills clothes always
crumpled—spots, too, unless bis Clau
dia had had a chance at them! Black
string tie askew, all the outward vis
ible signs of the southern gentleman
of assured ancestry. Not even a valet
would ever keep Tod Marshall up to
the standard of that office. What did
he have servants for, he had demand
' ed of itlckard, if it were not to Jump
niter him, picking up the loose ends
he dropped?
Curious thing, magnetism. That
man's step on the stair, and every
man-Jack of them would Jump to at
tention. from Hen, the colored Janitor,
who would not swap his post for a si
necure so long as Tod Mashall's one
Itmg kept him In Arizona, to Smythe,
the stoop-shouldered clerk, who had
followed Marshall's cough from San
I'ranclsco. It was said In Arizona—
he himself had met the statement In
Tucson—that any man who had ever
worked for Tod Marshall would rather
tie warmed by the reflection of hi*
greatness thnn be given posts of per
sonal distinction.
| Was it ofllce routine Marshall In
tended him for? He admired without
stint Tod Mnrshall, but he preferred
to work by the side of the other kind,
the strong men, without physical han
dicap, the men who take risks, the
men who live the life of soldiers. That
was the life he wanted. He would
wait long enough to get Marshall's In
dention, and then, if it meant—this!
he would break loose. He would go
back to the front where he belonged—
back to the' firing line*
As the hands of the round clock in
the outer ofllce were pointing to ten
the door opened and Marshall entered.
His clothes, of Indefinite blackish hue,
would have disgraced an eastern man.
Ills siring tie had a starboard list,
and bis bat was ready for a rummage
sale. Hut few would have looked at
I Ills clothes. The latent energy of the

Marshall glnnced hack at the clock,
und then towunl IIIH visitor.
"i >n time!" he observed.
Itlckard, smiling, put hl« book to
his pocket.
CHAPTEfI 11.
A Dlt of Oratory.
Mnrxlmll threw his hat on a chair,
thi> morninic paper on IIIH desk. He
aimed Ids burned-out cigar nt the near
est cuspidor, but It fell foul, the unbox
scattering over Sum's lately scoured
linoleum. Instantly there was appear
ance of settled disorder. Marshall
emptied his pockets of loose papers,
spreading them out on hla flat-top
desk. |
"Sit down I"
Itlckard took the chair at the other
side of the desk.
Marshall rang a bell. Instantly the
shirt-sleeved clerk entered.
"I shall not see anyone," the chief
announced. "I don't want to be Inter
rupted. Take these to Bmytbe."
Ills eyes followed the shutting of*
the door, then turned square upon
Itlekard. "I need you. Ifa a h—l of
a mess!"
The engineer wanted to know what
kind of a "mesa" It was.
"That river. It's running awoy from
them. I'm going to send you down to
stop It."
"The Colorado!" exclaimed Itlckard.
It was no hose to be turned, simply,
off from a garden bed.
"'f course you've been following ItT
It's one of the biggest things that's
happened tu this part of the world.
Too big for the men who have been

"yea." Queer coincidence, reading

Ills superior's question was unchar
cterlatlcally superfluous Who had
'lot read with thrilled uerves of that
»vlld river which men hud been trying
10 put under work harness? Who,
even among the stay-at-homes, had not
followed the newspaper stories of the
failure to make a meek servant and
water carrier of the Colorado, that
wild «teel of mountain and desert?
What engineer, no matter how remote,
would not' "follow" that spectacular i
struggle between men and Titans? I

was only gaining Um->. He thought
he knew the name he would hear.

perfectly formed rings into the uir,
als eyes ndrnirlng them.
"l'erhnps you've heard how Estrada,
the general, took a party of men into
the desert to sell a mine he owned.

to let it slip. He'd found something

Then it came to Rlckard that ho
tiad heard somewhere that 'Marshall
jnd General Estrada had married sis
ters, famous beauties of Guadalajara,
lie began to piece together the per
sonal background of the story.
"It was a long time before Estrada

to the Estrada Idea. And he's not big

other company on that method, the
Desert Reclamation company) tried to
whitewash the desert project; It was
In bad odor then, and he managed to
bring a few drops of water to the
desert."
"It was Hardin who did that?"
"But he couldn't deliver enough.
The cut silted up. He cut again, the
same story. lie was In a pretty bad
hole. He'd brought colonists in al
ready ; he'd used their money, the
money they'd paid for land with wu

was desperate."
It recalled the niiin Rlckard had
disliked, the rough-shod, loud-voiced
student of his lirst class in engineer
ing. That was the man who hail made
the flamboyant carpets of the Holmes'
boarding house Impossible any longer
to him. He had a sudden disconcert
ing vision of a large unllnlshed face
peering through the honeysuckles at
a man nnd a girl drawing apart in
confusion from their first and last
kiss. He wanted to tell Marshall he
was wasting his time.
"Overwhelmed with lawsuits," Mar

"It was ITmlin who came to me,

else. They'd worked for months try

his own humor. "Hardin did put up
a good talk. It was true, as he said;
we'd had to move our tracks three,
no, four times at fjalton. It was true,
that It ought to be one of the richest

Itlcknrd made nn Impatient shrug.
A nice problem Marshall had taken
unto himself. He wanted none of It

He met laggardly Marshall's story.
He heftrd him say: "Agreed with Far

territory shall not consist of the for
mer German states as well as other
states that may, after a plebiscite,
