(fflSlS * q - © rxroooa-3-/>t£RmJ- ctvmMy BYNOPBIS. CHAPTER I-K. C. Rlckard, an engi neer of the Overland Pafclflc, la called to the office of President Marshall in Tuc son, Arts. "Casey" Is an enigma to the office 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 reada a report on the ravages of the Colorado, despite the efforts of Thomaa Hardin of the Desert Reclamation com pany. This Hardin had been a student under Rlckard and had married Qerty Holmes, with whom Rlckard had fancied ha 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. V CHAPTER lll—Rlckard Journeys to ! Calexlco, sees the Irrigated desert and } learns much about Hardin and hla work. : CHAPTER IV—At the hotel he meets Mr. and lfrs. Hardin and Innes Hardin, Hardin's Half sister. Disappointed In her husband and an Incorrigible coquette, , Mrs. Hardin nets her cap for her former lover and Invites him to dinner. I CHAPTER V—Rlckard visits the com pany's offices and takeß control. He finds the engineers loyal to Hardin and hos tUS to him. Estrada, a Mexican, son of the "Father of the Imperial Valley," tella him of the general situation. CHAPTER Vl—Rlckard attends a meeting of the directors and asserts hla authority. Hardin rages. Estrada tells Rlckard of his foreboding that hie work will fall. "I can't see It finished." CHAPTER Vll—lnnes Is discovered In her garden. She tries to cheer up Hardin, who la furious asralnst Rlckard. The outer door opened. The newcomer, evidently n favorite, walked into n noisy welcome, the "boys'" embarrassment overtlolng It. Ho was of middle height, slender —a Mexican with Castllian ancestry writ ten in his high-bred features, his grace and his straight, dark hair." "Good morning, Estrada," said Har din with the sains meaningless smile. "Good morning, gentlemen." The Mexican's greeting paused at Rlckard. "Mr. Estrada, Mr. Rlckard." Everjwne in the office saw Hardin snub his other opportunity. He had betrayed to everyone his deep hurt, his raw wound. When be had stepped down, under cover of a resig nation, he had saved his face by tell ing everyone that a rupture With Maltland, one of the directors of the reorganized compnny, had made It Impossible for to serve together, and that Maitlnnd's wealth and im portance to the compnny demanded his own sacrifice. Two months before Rlckard's appearance Maltland had Oeen discovered dcud In his hath In a Los 'TTngeleit hotel. Though no one had been witless enou&h to speak of their hope to Hnrdln, he knew that all his force was dally expecting his reinstatement. Rlckard's entrance was another stab to their chief. "The son of the general?" The new manager held out his hand. "General Estrada, friend of Mexican liberty, founder of steamship companies and father of the Imperial valley?" "That makes me a brother of the valley"—Estrada's smile was sensitive and sweet. Estrada looked at Hardin, hesitated, then passed on to the checker/players i and nddressed MncLean: "I saw your father In I,os Angeles. He has been chosen to fill the vacancy made by Maltland's death." Mac Lean's eyes wnvered toward Hardin, whose nonchalance had not faltered. Had he not heard, or did he know, already? "I'd like to have a meeting, a con ference, tomorrow morning." Rlckard was speaking. "Mr. Hardin, will you set the hour nt your convenience?" Because It was so kindly done, Har din showed his first resentment. "It will not be possible for me to be there. I'm going to Los Angeles in the morn ing. • He turned and left the office, Estrada following him. "Oh, Mr. Hardin, you mustn't take It that way," he expostulated, concern In each sensitive feature. "I'll take orders from him, but ha gave me none," growled Hardin. "It's not what you think. I'm not sore. But I don't like hltn. He's a fancy dnde. He's not the inan for this Job." "Then you knew him before?" It was a surprise to Estrada. "At college. He was my—er—ln structor. Marshall found him In th« classroom. A theory sllnger." Estrada's thoughtful glance rested on the angry face. Was this genuine, or did not Hardin know of the year* Rlckard hail served on the road; ol the Job In the heat-linked barrancas of Mexico, where Marshall had "found" him? But he would not try ngaln to persuade Hnrdln to give np his trip to Los Angeles. It might J>e better, after all, for the new manager to tak charge with his predecessor out ol the way. "MacLean'* earning down tonight," he threw out, still watching HarUlti'i face. "Willi Babcock." "I won't be missed." Hardin's mouth was bitter. 'Estrada, If I had the sense of a goat I'd sell out, sell ray stock to Mac Lean and quit. What's In all this for me? Does anyone doubt my reason for staying? It would b« like leaving a sinking ship, like de serting the passengers and crew one hnd brought on board. God! I'd like to go! But how can I? I've got hold of the tall of the bear nnd I cant let go!" "No one doubts you—" began Es trada. Hardin turned awny. with an ngly oath. The Mexican stood watch ing his stumbling anger. "Poor H»r» din!" In the office Rlckard was speaking to MaCLenn, whom he" hnd drown to one shle, out of earshot of the checker players. "I want you to do something for I me, not at all agreeable!" Ills tone ] Implied that the boy was not given the chnnce to beg off. "What time does the . train pull out In the morn ing?" "Six-fifteen." "I'll have a letter for you at the hotel nt six. Be on time. I want to catch Hardin before he leaves for I.os Angeles. If he's really going. I'll give him today to think It over. But he can't dlsregtual nn order as he did my Invitation. Wlldn't want to rub in before the men." MftcT.enn stared, then salJ- that he thought he was not likely to! Rlckard left the ofilce In time to see Hardin shutting the outer gate behind him. His exit released a cho rus of Indignant voices. "An outrage!" "A d -d shame I" This from Wooster. "Ilardln's luck!" On the other side of the door Rlck ard deliberated. The hotel nnd Its curi ous loungers, or his new office, where Ogllvio was .making a great show of occupation. He Had not seen Estrada. He was making a sudden dive for his hotel when the gentle voice of the Mexican hailed him. "Will you come to my car? It's on the s!dlr.g right here. We can huve a little lunch uud then look over some maps together. I time some picture? i>. Hardin Turned Away With an Ugly Oath. of the river nnd the gule. T1 'y may be new to you." Rleknrd spent the n/ternoon In the car. The twin towns did not seem so hostile. He thought he might like the Mexican. Estrada was earning his father's mantle. He was the superintendent of the road which the Overland Pa cific was building between the twin town* and the Crossing; s director of the Desert Reclamation company, and the head of a small subsidiary com pany which had been created to pro tect rights and keep harmonious rela tion with the sister country. Rlckard found him full of meat, and heard, for the first time consecutively, the story of the rakish river. Particularly In teresting to hlin was the relation of Hardin to the company. "He has the bad luck, that man!" exclaimed Estrada's soft, musical voice. "Everything I* in his hands, capital I* pnmilsed. and he goes to New York to have the papers drawn up. The day he gets there the Maine Is destroyed. Of course capital Is shy. He's had the devil's own luck with men: Glfford, honest hut mullsb; Bather, mulish nnd not honest —oh, there's a string of them. Once he went to Hermoslllo to get an option on my fnther's lands. Tliey were already covered by an option held by some men In Scotland. Another man would have waited for the three months to pass. Not Ilardln. He went to Scot land, thought he'd Interest those men with his maps and papers. He owned all the data then. He'd made the sur rey." Estrada repeated the story Brandon and Marshall had told, with little dis crepancy. A friendly refrain followed the narrative. "He has the bad luck, that man!" "And the Scotched option?"' remind ed Rlckard, smiling at hi* own poor Joke. "It was Just that. A case of Ilardln luck ngaln. He *topp-d off In I»mIon to Interest some capltnl there; follow ing up a lead developed on the steam er. He was never a man to neglect a chance. Nothing enme of It, though, and when he reached Glasgow he found his man had died two days be fore—or been killed, I've forgotten which. Three times Hardin's crossed the ocean trying to corner the oppor tunity he thought he had found. It Isn't laziness, is his trouble. It's Just Infernal lock." "Or over-astuteness, or procrastilta tlon," criticised his listener to himself. He knew now what It was- that had so changed Hardin. A man cannot travel, even though he be hounding down a quick /cent, without meeting strong Influence*. Hg Jtad been thrown GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. MARCH 20, 1919 with "hard men; strong men."" IF wai an Inevitable chiseling, not a miracle. "I want to bear more of thla some day. But thla map. I don't under stand what you told me of this by pass, Mr. Estrada. . Their heads were still bending over Estrada'a rough work bench when the Japanese cook announced that dinner was waiting in the adjoining car. MncLean and Bodefeldt and several young engineers Joined them. It had been outwardly a waated day. Rlckard had lounged, socially and physically. But before be turned In that night he had learned the names and dispositions of his force, and some of their prejudices. Nothing, he Bummed up, could be guessed from the gentleness of the Mexican's manner; Wooster's antagonism was open and snappish. Silent was to be watched, and Hardin had already ahown his haud. I The river, as he thought of It, ap peared the least formidable of his op ponents. He was Imaging It aa a high spirited horse, maddened by the fum bling of Its would-be captora. His task It was to lasso the proud stallion, lead It in bridled to the aterlle land. No wonder Hardin was sore; his noose had slipped olf one time too many! Hardin's luckl "tHAPTER VI. Red Tape. At ten o'clock the next morning Har din, entering the office, again the gen eral manager's, found there before him George Mac Lean, the new director, and Percy Rabcock, the treasurer, who had been put In by the Overland Pacific when the old company was reorgan ized. They had Just come In from Los Angeles, the trip made In Mac Lean's private car, to attend a director's meet ing. Iflckard entered a few minutes later, Estrada behind hltn. Ogllvle followed Rlckard to bis desk. "Well?" Inquired the new manager. Ogllvle explained lengthily that he had the minutes of the last meeting "Leave them here." Rlckard waved him toward Estrada, who held out hit hand for the papers. Reluctantly the accountant relin quished the papers. His retreating conttalls looked ludicrously whipped but no one luughed. Hardin's scowl deepened. "Showing his power," he thought "He's going to call for n new pack." Estrada pushed the minutes through with but a few unimportant Interrup lions. He was sitting at the same desk with Rlckard. Hurdln, sensitive and sullen, thought he saw tho meeting managed between them. Several times he attempted to bring the tangled affairs of the water .:otn panles before the directors. Rlckard would not discuss the water compa nies. "Recause he's not posted! He's be ginning to see what he's up against," ran Ilardln's stormy thoughts. He was on his feet the next mlnnte with a motion to complete the Hardin headgntc-. Violently he declaimed to Babcock and Mac Lean his wrongs, th« Injustice that had been done him. Map shall hnd let that fellow Maltland con. vlnce him that the gate was not prac ticable; hnd It not been for him the gate would be In place sow; all thla time and money saved. And the Malt land dam, built Instead I Where «U It? Where was the money, the time, put In that little toy? Sickening! Hla face purpled over the memory. Why was he allowed to begin again with the gnte? "Answer roe that. ' Why was I allowed to begin again? It's all child's play, that's what It Is. And when I am In It again up to my neck he pulls me off!" This was the real Hardin, the un couth, overaged Lawrence student! The new manner was Just a veneer. Rlckard had been expecting It to wear tbln. "I think," Interjected Rlckard, "that we all agree with Mr. Marshall, Mr. Hardin, that a wooden headgate on silt foundation could never be more than a makeshift. I understood that the first day he visited the river with you he bad the Idea to pot the ultimate gate, the gate which would control the water supply of the valley, up at the Crossing on rock foundation. Mr. Mar* shall does net expect to finish that In time to be of first use. He hopes the wooden gate will solve the Immediate problem. -It was a case of any port In a storm. He has asked me to report my opinion." "Why doesn't he give me a chance to go ahead then?" growled the de posed manager. "Instead of letting I the Intake widen until It will be an Im possibility to confine tho river there at all?" I "Ho you do think that It will be an Imposslbllty to complete the gate a* planned?" Hardin had run too fast "I didn't ! mean that." he stammered. "I mean It will be difficult If we are delayed much longer." "Have you the force to re-beglo work at once?" demanded Rlckard. "I bad It," evaded Hardin. "I had everything ready to go on—men, ma terial— when we stopped the las) time." "Answer my question, please." "1 should hare to assemble them again," admitted Hardin sulkily. Rlckard consulted his notebook. "1 think we've covered everything. Now I want to propose the laying of a spur track from Hamlln'a Junction to the Heading." Ills manner cleared the stage of supernumeraries; this was the climax. Hardin looked ready to spring "And In connection with that the de velopment of a quarry in the granite [ hills back of Hamlin's," continued Rick | ard, not looking at Hardin. | Jnstantly Hardin was on his feet. His fist thundered on the table. "I aha 11 oppose that," he flared. "It Is al>- solutely unnecessary. We can't afford It. Do you know what that will cost, gentlemen?" "One hundred thousand dollars!" Rlckard Interrupted him. "I want an appropriation thla morning for that amount. It Is, In my opinion, abso lutely necessary If we are to save the valley. We cannot afford not to do It* Mr. Hardin !" Hardin glared at the other men for | support; liefound Mac Lean's face a blank wall; Estrada looked uncom-1 fortable. Babcock had pricked up his . ears at tho sound of the desired appro priation ; his head on one side, he looked like an Inquisitive terrier. I Hardin spread out his hands In help less desperation. "You'll ruin us," be said. "It's your money, the O. P.'s, but you're lending It, not giving it to us. You are going to swamp the Des ert Reclamation company. We.can't > throw funds away like that" Que hun dred thousand dollars! Why, he could have stopped the river at any time if he had had that sum; once a paltry | thousand would have saved them— "1 didn't ask the O. P. to come In and ruin us, but to stop the river; not to throw money away In hog-wild fash ion." He was stammering inarticulate ly. "There's no peed of a spur-track if you rush my gate through." "If," Rlckard nodded. "Granted. Il we can rush It through, but suppose it falls? Marshall said the railroad would stand for no contlugencles. The , Interests at stake are too vital—" "Intereats I" cried Tom Ilardln. "What do you know of the Interest at stake? You or your railroad ? Coming In nt the eleventh hour, wlmt can you know? Did you promise safety to thou- 1 sands of families If they mnde their homes !r. ftls valley? Are you responsi ble? Did ]ron get up this company, In duce your friends to put their nionej Instantly H«4ln Was on Hla Feet. tl It, promise [fTwee tliern through? What do you know of the Interests at (take? You want to put one hundred thousand dollars Into a frill. God, do you know what that means to ray company? It meuns ruin—" Estrada pulled him down In his seat. Rlckard explained to the directors the necessity In his opinion of the spur track and the qunrry. Rock In great quantities would be needed; cars must be rushed In to the break. He urged the Importance df clenching the Issue. "If It's not won this time, It's a lost cause," he maintained. "If It cuts a deeper gorge, the Imperial valley Is a chimera; so Is Laguna dam." The other men were drown Into the irgument. Rati cock leaned toward Har din's conservation. Maclean was Ju dicial. Estrada upheld Rlckard. The •pur-track, In Jils opinion, was essen tial to success. Ilardln could see the meeting managed between the new comer and tjie Mexican, and his anger Impotently raged. Hl* temper made him Incoherent. He could see Rlckard, cool and Impersonal, adding to his points, and MncLean slowly won to the stronger side. Hardin, on his feet ngnln, was sputtering helplessly at Babcock, when Rlckard called for a vole. The appropriation was carried, ilardln's face was swollen with rnge. Rlckard then called for a report on the clam-shell dredge being rushed at JTuma. Where was the machinery? Was It tiot to have been finished In February? "Why not get the machinery here? What's the use of taking chances?" de manded Rlckard. Ilardln felt the personal Implication. He was on his feet In a second. "There are no chances." He looked at Mac- Lean. "The machinery's done. It's no use getting it here until we're ready." "There are always chances," Inter rupted his opponent coolly. "We are going to take none. I want Mr. Har din, gentlemen, appointed a committee of one to see that the machinery Is de livered at once, and the dredge rushed." The working force was Informally discussed. Hardin said they could de pend on hobo labor. Rlckard agreed that they would find such help, but It would not do to rely on It. The big sewer system of New Orb-ana was about completed; he had planned to write there, stating the need. And there was a man In Zncatecas, named Porter— "Frank Porter?" sneered Ilardln, "that—murderer?" "Ills brother," Rlckard answered pleasantly. "Jim furnishes the men for the big mines In Honors and Slna loa. He'll send us all the labor we want, the best for our purpose. When It gets red-hot, there's no one like a peon or an Indian. "Youl'l be Infringing on the Interna tional contract law," suggested Mnc- Lean. "No. The camp 1a on the Mexican side," laughed Casey. "I'd thought of that. We'll have them shipped to the | nearest Mexican point, and then brought to the border. Mr. Estrada will help us." The meeting had already adjourned. | They were standing around the flat top desk. Estrada Invited them all to lunch with him, In the car on the sid ing. MncLean said that be had to get back to Los Angeles. Mr. Babcock was going to take him out to Grant's Heading In the machine. He had nev er been there. They had breakfasted late. He looked very mrych the colonel to Rlckard, his full chest and stiff car riage made more military by his trim uniform of khaki-colored cloth. "May I apeak to yon about your boy, Mr. Mac Lean r Utardln caught a alight that was not ' Intended. He pushed past the group at the door without civility or cere mony. The steady grave eyes of the big frame looked at Rlckard inquiringly, "He wants to stay out another year. I hope you will let him. It's not disin terested. I shall have to take a stenog rapher to the Heading this summer. There Is a girl here; I couldn't take her, and then, too, I'm old-fashioned; I don't like women In offices. My posi tion promises to be a peculiar one. rd Wke to have your son to rely on for emergencies a stenographer could not cover." I Mac Lean's grave features relaxed as he looked down on the engineer, who | was no small man himself, and aug- ' gested that his son was not very well up In stenography. "That'a the least of It" "I hope that he will make a good stenographer I Good morning, gentle-' men." At table, neither Estrada nor his guest uncovered their active thought which revolved around Hardin nnd hla hurt. Instead, Rlckard had questions to ask his host on river history. Aa .they talked, It came to him that some-' thing was amis*—Estrada was ac- ' curate; he had all ills facts. Was It : enthusiasm, sympathy, he lacked? Preu- I ently he challenged him with It. Estrada's eyes dreamed out of the window, followed the gorge of tho New river, as though out there, somewhere, I the answer hovered. "Do you mean, do you doubt It?" ex claimed Rlckard, watching the melan choly In the beautiful eyes. Estrada shook Ills head, but without decision. "Nothing you'd not laugh at. I can laugh at It myself, sometimes." Rlckard waited, not sure that any thing more was coming. The Mexi can's dark eyes were troubled; a puzzle brooded In them. "It's a purely nega tive sense that I've bad, since I was a child. Something falls between mo and a plan. If I said It was a veil, It would be—something!" Hla voice fell to a ghost of tunefulness. "And It's— * nothing. A blank —I know then It's not going to huppen. It Is terribly final 1 It's happened, often. Now. 1 *ait for that—veil. When It falls. Ij tnow what It means." "And you have had tlint—sense j ibout this river business?" Estrada turned his pensive gaie on! :he American. "Yes, often. 1 thought, ifter futher'a death, that ttyit was wliut It meant. Rut It came again. It, «ept coming. I had it while you were, >ll talklpg, Just now. I don't speak of :hls. It sounds chicken-hearted. And I'm In this with all my soul—my fa- 1 ther —I couldn't do It uny other way, but—" "You think we arc going to fall?" I "I can't see It finished," was Estra la's mournful answer. He turned •gain to stare out of the window. "Who are the river men In the val ley?" demanded the newcomer. "I want to meet tliem. to talk to them." j "Cor'nel, he's an Indian. He's worth talking to. He knows lis history, Its legends. Perhups some of It Is his tory." "Where's he to bo found?" "You'll run across him! Whenever mythlng's up, he Is on hand, lie senses It And then there'a Matt Hamlin." "I'll see him, of course, lias he been up the river?" "No, but I'll tell you two who have. Maldonado, a half-breed, who lives aoine twenty mile* down the river from namlln's. He knows the Gila as though he were pure Indian. The Olla's tricky! Maldonado's grandfa ther was a trapper, his great-grandfa ther, they say, a priest. The women were all Indian. He's smart. Smart and bad." Estrada's Japanese servant came ' back Into the cur to offer tea, freshly Iced. "That's what I want, smart river men. not ten!" laughed Rlckard. "I want rlver'hlstory." "There's another man you ought to meet. He was with the second Powell exiiedltlon. He's written the best hook on the river. He knows It, If any man does. You wanted these maps." Es trada was gathering them together. "Thank you. And you can Just strangle that foreboding of yours, Air. Estrada. For I tell you. we're going to govern that river!" Estrada's pensive smile followed the dancing step of the engineer until It carried hltn out of sight. Perhaps? Because he was the son of his father, he must work us hard as If conviction went with him, as If success awaited at the other end of the long road. Rut It was not going to be. lie would nfver see that liver shackled — To be continucl.
