CHAPTER ll—Marshall tells Rlckard

to save the Imperial Valley and sends
him to the break. Rlckard declines be
cause he does not want to supplant Har

CHAPTER IV—At the hotel he meet*

CHAPTER V—Rlckard visits the com- !

CHAPTER VII.
A Garden In ■ Desert.
His dwelling leaped Into sight us
Hardin turned the corner of the street.
There was but one street running
through the twin towns, flanked by the
ditches of running water. The rest
were ditches of running water edged
by footpaths. Scowling, he passed un
der the overhanging bird cages of the
Desert hotel without" a greeting for tho
loungers, whose chairs were drawn up
against the shade of the brick walls.
The momentum slackened as Hardin
neared the place he called his home.
An Inner tenderness diluted the sneer
that disfigured his face. He_ could see
Innes as she moved around'in the lit
tle fenced-in strip that surrounded her
desert tent. She Insisted on calling It
a garden. In spite of his raillery.
"Gerty's In bed, I suppose," thought
Tom. He had a sudden vivid picture
of her accusing martyrdom. His mouth
hardened again. Innes, stooping over
a rose, passed^out of his vision.
It came to Hardin suddenly that a
man has mnde a circle of failure when
he dreads going to his office and
shrinks from the reproaches at home.
"A 'has-been' at forty I" he mused.
Where were all his ships drifting?
~ Innes, straightening, waved a gay
hand.
"She's raising a goodly crop of bar'
rels." Bis thought mocked and ca
ressed ber. Her garden devotion was

a tender joke with him. He loved the
Hardin trait In her, the persistence
which will not be daunted. An occupa
tion with a Hardin was a dedication.
He would not acknowledge the Innes
blood in her. Like that fancy mother
of hers? Innes was a Hardin through
and through!
"It's in the blood," ran hla thought
"She can't help It All the Hardlns
work that way. The Hardlns always
make fools of themselves I"
Innes, lifting her eyes from a crip
pled rose, saw that the black devils
were consuming him again.
-Will you look at this wreck r ab«

Tho windstorm Ihe previous week
had node a sickening devastation of
her labors. The m >rnln«Klorles alone
were scatheless. A pink oleander
drooped many broken branches from

unfolding. The prettiest blossom to
Hardin was the gardener herself. She
was vivid from eager toll. Hardin
looked at her approbatlvely. He liked
her klmki salt, simple an a uniform,
with lis flowing black tie and leather
belt. She looked more like herself to
day. She had bleached out, In Tucson.
She had been letting herself get too
tanned, running around without hats.
Sunburn paled the value of those
splendid eyes of hers. He could alwayf
tease her by likening them to topazes.
His eyes ran over the pink and pur-
pie lines of cord-trained vines wiiiub
made floral screens for her tent. Fres
of the strings overhead, they rioted
over the ramada, the second roof, of
living boughs. He acknowledged their
beauty. They gave grace to bare ne
cessity; they denied the panting,
thirsty desert Just beyond.
He remembered his own ramada.
Qerty had hated It, had complained of
It so bitterly when she came horns
from New York that he had had 11
pulled down and replaced by a V roof
of pine boards, glaring and ugly. Gertj
was satisfied, for It was clean; she nc
longer felt that she lived In a squaw
house. Let the Indians have rnmadas:
there was no earthly reason she should J
He had urged that the desert dwellers
had valuable hints to give them. Bui
what was a remada to him, or anything
else? Hardin turned to leave.
She did not want him to go so soon.
She pointed out a new vine to him.
She had brought it from Tucson;
"Kudzu," they calhsd It; a Japanest
vine. And there was another broken
rose, quite beyond the help of stripped
handkerchiefs and mesqult splints.
He followed her around the tent, hei
prattle falling from his grim mood. He
was not thinking of her flowers except
as a mocking parallel. The deserl
storm had made a havoc of his garden
—a sorry botch of his life. He and
Innes had been trying to make a gar
den out of a desert; the desert had
Routed them. It was not his fault.
Something had happened; something
juite beyond his power. Luck was
turning against him.
Innes, why, she was playing as with
a toy. -It was the natural instinct of a
woman to make things pretty around
tier. But he had sacrificed his youth,
Ills chances. His domestic life, too—
lie should never have carried a dainty
little woman like Qerty into the des
>rt. He had never reproached her for
leaving him, even last time when he
thought It was for good. The word
nurned his wound. Whose good? His
>r Oerty'sJ Somehow, though they
wrangled, he always knew It would
turn out all right; life would run
smoothly when they left the desert.
But things were getting worse; his
nouth puckered over some recollec
tions. Yet he loved Qerty; he couldn't
picture llfo without her. He decided
that it was because there had never
seen anyone else. Most fellows had
ind sweethearts before they married;
le had not, nor a mistress when she_

fell Into sardonic lines. Those half

But that had been spared him, that

He shuddered. Gerty loved him. Else,

jrofitable dedication? He could see

run into her on Broadway. He remcm
>ered her coquetry when she suggest
ed that there was plenty of room In
ler apartment! His wife! She spoke
it seeing his pictures In the papers.
'He hod grown to be a great man!"
That piquant meeting, the week fol
lowing had been the brightest of his
life. He was sure then that Gerty
oved lilin. The wrangles were only
their different ways of looking at
things. Of course, they loved each
ither. But Gerty couldn't stand pio
neer life. She had loved him, or she
would not so easily have been per
waded to try It over again. She
reamed to make him comfortable, she
»ahl. So she had gone back, and pulled
down his ramada, and put his clothes
In the lowest bureau drawer!
"It wasn't either of our faults," be
ruminated. "It was the fault of the In
stitution. Marriage Itsolf is a failure,
l-ook at the papers, the divorce courts.
A man's Interests are no longer his
wife's. Curious that It should be so.
But It's a fact. It is the modern dis
content. Women wunt different careers
from their husbands'."
Vet, how could he help throwing his
life Into his work? He had committed
himself; It was an obligation. If It
I were not for that Indefinable some
thing, his allegiance to the cause which
| mocked at reasons and definitions; oh,
he knew! —he had tllfed' with Gerty
and been worsted! —he would havo r«-

which had dishonored him. Why should

ling In his path a vicious kick.

had been partitioned with rough red
wood boards into a bed chamber ou
the right, a combination dining room
and "parlor" on the left. Her glance
Immediately segregated the three
stalks of pink geraniums la the center
of the Mexican drawn-work cloth that
covered the table. Gerty, herself, In a
fresh pink gingham frock, was dancing
around the table to the tnne of forki
and spoons. It was Just like Gerty tc

because she made him comfortable'
Was It the little air of formality, oi
mystery, which she drew around her!
Her rooms when Innes was allowed t
enter them were always flnwlessj
Gerty took deep pride In her house
keeping. Why was It, Innes wondered
that she could never shake oft her sus
plclon of an underlying untidiness-'
There was always a closed door ot
Gerty's processes.
"May I help?" The sun was stU
yellowing the room to her.
"Hello I" Hardin looked up front
the couch where he was lying. Innei
suspected It of being a frequent r»
treat. She had found it tumbled once
when she ran over early. It was then
that Gerty made It understood that sh»
liked more formality. Innes was rare
ly In that tent except for meals now
or during her alternating week ol
bouse chores.
"I was afraid I was late," said the
girl.
"Lunch will be ready In a few min
utes," announced Gerty Hardin. "Wont
you sit down? There's the new Jour
nal. Sam came to clean this morning,
and I couldn't get to the lunch until
an hour ago."
Innes, settling herself by the reading
table, caught herself observing that It
would not have taken her an hoor to
get a cold lunch. Still, It would neYer
look so Inviting I It Gerty's domestic
machinery was complicated and pri
vate, the results always were admir
able. The early tomatoes were peeled
as well as sliced, and were lying on a
bed of cracked ice. The ripe black
olives were resting In a lake of Cali
fornia olive oil. A bowl of crisp let
tuce had been Iced and carefully dried.
The bread was cut In precise triangles;
the butter had been shaved Into for
eign-looking roses. A pitcher of the
valley's favorite beverage, Iced tea,
stood by Hardin's plate. There was a
platter of cold meats.
It came home to Innes for the hun
dredth time, the surprise of such a
meal In that desert. A few years ago,
and whnt had a meal been? She threw
the credit of the little lunch to sulky
Tom Hardin lying on the portiere-cov
ered couch, his ugly lower lip out
thrust against an unsmiling vision. It
was Tom, Tom and his brave men, the
sturdy engineers, the dauntless sur
veyors, the Indians who had dug the
canals, those were the ones who had
spread that pretty table, not the buxom
little woman darting about In pink
gingham.
"Is It because I don't like her?" sho
mused, her eyes on the pictures In the
style book which had Just come in that
morning. Certainly Gerty did havo the
patience of a saint with Tom's hu
mors. If she would only lose that set
look of martyrdom i It was not for an
outsider to Judge between a husband
and wife, even If the man were her
own brother. She could not put her
linger on the germ of their painful

scenes; she shrank from the recollec
tion of Tom's temper; bis coarse
streak,, the Glngg fiber, her own mother
called It. Tom wus rough, but she
loved him. Why was It she was sure
that Gi-rty did not love her husband?
Yet there wus the distrust, as fixed
and as unjust i»-rlin|is as the suspicion
of Gerty's little mysteries.
She said aloud: "This Is your Isst
day. My week begins tomorrow."
Mrs. Hardin adjusted a precise nap
kin before she spoke.
"I think I will keep the reins for a
n#nth this time." Her words were re
flect! ve, as though the thought were
new. "I get my baud In Just as I stop.
s wll! be running out for my visit In a
few weeks. It will lie only fair for me
to do It as long as I can."
Again the girl had a sense of subtle
ty. Whenever Gerty put on that sir of
childish confidential deliberation, she
hunted for the plot. This wss not fsr
to seek. Her slster-in-lsw was pasaing
out the hot season to her.
"It's all ready." Gerty's glance was
winging, birdlike, over the table. Noth
ing had been forgotten. Khe gave a
little sigh of elastic satisfaction. Har
din misinterpreted IL
"I ought to tie able to keep a serv
ant for her." It wss like him to hsve
forgotten the Lawrence days; be was
never free of the sense of obligation to
the dainty little woman who was born,
he felt, for the purple. There wss
nothing too good for Gerty. He felt
her unspoken disappointments; her
deprivations. "Of course, she can have
no respect for me. Fin a failure."
"Doesn't this give you an appetite?"
demanded Innes heartily. "And I'm
to be a lady for three more weeks."
The remark was thoughtless. A bright
flush spread over Gerty's face. She
caught an allusion to her origin.
Innes saw the blush and remem
bered the boarding bouse. She could
think of nothing to say. The three
relatives sat down to that most uncom
fortable travesty, a social meal where
sociability Is lacking. Innes said It
had been a pleasant morning. Gerty
thought It had been hot. And then
there was silence again.
Innes began to tell them of her Tuc
son visit, when Gerty laid down her
fork. "I've meant to ask you n hun
dred times. Did you attend to my
commission In Los Angeles?"
"I forgot to tell you. I raked the
town, really I did, Gerty." For there
was a cloud on Gerty's pretty brow. "I
could have got you the other kind, but
you sold you did not want It."
"I should think not." The childish
chin was lifted.* "Those complicated
things are always getting out of order.
Besides, If I had an adjustable form,
everybody'd be borrowing It."
"What are you talking about?" de
manded Tom, waking up. "Who'd bor
row your what, Qertf'
"Please don't call me Gort, Tom,"
besought his wife plaintively. "A fig
ure. I wanted Innes to try to get one
for me In Los Angeles."
"I did try," began Innes.
"Yours Is good enough for anyone.
Why should you get another?" Ho
was openly admiring the ample bust
swelling under the pink glnghnm.
"Don't, Tom."
Innes tried to explain tho sincerity
of her search. She had visited every
store "which might be suspected of
having a figure." She could not bring
a smile to her sister's face. "There
was none yeur size. They offered to
order one from Chicago. They have to
be made to order, If they are special
sizes. Tou are not stock size, did you
know that?"
"I should think not," cried Gerty,
bridling. "My waist Is absurdly small
for the size of my hips and shoulders."
Innes wondered If It would bo safe
to agree with her.
"When will It be here?"
"You'll be disappointed." Innes
found herself stammering. "But not
for six weeks. I did not know whether
to order It or not."
"And I in Los Angeles with my sum
mer sewing nil done! What good will
It do me then? 1 * The pretty eyes
looked ready for childish tears.
"I know. That Is, I didn't know
whnt to do," apologized Innes Ilardln.
"I decided to order It as I'd found tho
place, and was right there, but I made
sure that I could countermand the or
der by telegram. So I can this very
afternoon. I knew you would be dis
appointed. I was sorry."
"I'll need It next winter," admitted
Gerty, helping herself to some of the
chilled tomatoes. "I'm sure I'm much
obliged to you. I hope It did not put
you to much trouble."
Tho words raised the wall of for
mality again. Innes bent over her
plate.
"What made you change your plans?"
suddenly demanded his wife of ilardln.
"When Sam came In with your bag, he
surprised me so."
"My boss kept me." Hardin's face
looked coarse, roughened by his ugly
passion. "Itlckard, your old friend.
He served a subpoena on me at the
station."
"Oh," cried Gerty. "Surely, be did
not do that, Tom I"
"Sure he did." Hardin's face was
black with his evil mood. "I'm only an
underling, a disgraced underling. He's
my boss. He's going to make me re
member It."
"You mustn't say such things," pout
ed his wife. "If It does not hurt you,
If you do not care, think how I must
feel—"
"Oh, rot I" exclaimed Hardin. Tho
veneer was rubbed down to the rough
wood. Innes saw the coarseness her
mother had romplnlned of, the Glngg
fiber.
"I suppose you think I like lo take
ordi-rs, lo Jump nt the snitp of the
whip?" He was deliberately beating
up his anger Into a froth. "Oh, sure, I
do. That's a Hardin, through und
through."
Again the angry blood flooded his
wife's cheeks. He, too, was throwing
the boarding house at her.
"You did It yourself." Gerty with
difficulty wus withholding tho angry
tears. "I told you how It would be.
You would do It."
"Oh, hell 1" cried Tom, pushing back
his plate.
His sister looked drearily out tho
wire-screened door. Her view was a
dusty street. Ilardln got up, scraping
I his chair over the board floor.
"Arid to keep It from me," persisted
the wlf& "To let me ask him to dia
ler —"
"Does thrt dismsl farce bsve to g«
on?" domseded Marilln, turning back
to tlie table. "You'll have to hflve It
without me, then. I'll not stay and
make a fool of myself. Ask him to
dinner. Mel I'll see myself."
Innes wished she wss In the neigh
boring tent. Tom wrs lashing himself
Into a coarse fury.
To her dlsinaf. Gerty burst Into
tears. It was killing her, the disgrace,
she cried. Bhe couldn't endure It. Hbe
couldn't stsnd It there; she had not
the courage to go to Los Angeles,
where her friends would pity her. It
was crushing her. Hhe was not a ilar
dln; she was sensitive; she could not
Justify everything a Ilardln did as
right, no matter what the consequences.
The pretty eyes obscured, she rushed, s
streaming Niobe, from the room.
The brother and sister avoided each
other's eye*. Innes rose srid cleared
the table of the dishes. Hhe made a
loud noise with the running water In
the shed, racketing the pans to drown
the insistence of Gerty's sobbing.
Hhe kept listening for Tom's step.
She wsnted to go with hirn when he
left; he must not reach tbe office In
the blackness of thst mood. Hhe
wished he would not betray bis feel
ings; yet she knew it was not he who
was to klsfne.
