FOCH HEADY TO ACT IF HUNB
REFUSE TO SIGN THE TREATY
Paris. —The fact that Marshal Koch
and the allied commanders ha v.
agreed upon the military and naval
steps which will be taken in the event
the Gorman* refuse to sign the treaty
ha* made a good Impression upon the
country and the tendencies which are
becoming daJiy manifest In favor of
Arm alliance, at any rate, until the
peace terms have been executed, are
greeted with great satisfaction.
The position of America in t mat
ter of this sort is specially delicate,
but there seems to be some ground for
thinking President Wilson twill not be
unfavorable to some form of alliance
until the league of nations Is got In
working order. Rightly or wrongly,
the impression has been encouraged
that only the financial clauses of the
peace treaty are open to discuss 100 by
the Germans and that this discussion
would be limited. The Germans, it
was believed, would be heard as to
the beet means of enabling them to
carry oat the financial obligations
placed opon them by the treaty. It Is
clear from the German attitude that
the enemy counts still upon interal
lied dissension.

CHAPTER I—K. C. Blckard, an engi
neer of the Overland Pacific, la called to
the office of President Marshall In Tuc
son, Aris. "Casey" - Is sn enigma to the
office force; he wears "dude" clothes,
but he had resigned a chair of engineer
ing in the Eaet 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 Blckard and had married Qerty
Holmes, with whom Rlckard had fancied
be was in love.
CHAPTER ll—Marshall telle 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.
CKAJBSPBQ lll—Rlckard Journeys to
Calvtlco, 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 loysl to Hardin and hos
tile to him. Estrada, a Mexican, son of
the "Father of the Imperial Valley," telis
him of the general situation.
CHAPTER VT—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
ber garden. She tries to cheer up Hardin,
who Is furious against Rlckard.
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
Calexico and puts him down as incom
petent. Oerty thinks her lord jealous,
CHAPTER X—The Hardin dinner to
Rlckard discloses further the family char
acteristics. Hardin Is surly and sulky.
Innes is hardly polite. Oerty plans a
"progressive ride" in Rtckard'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 yehr of
a cycle, when the Great Yellow Dragon,
the Colorado, grows .restless. He makes
various preparations, pushes work on
the Calexico 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 XV.
On the Levee.
flardin did not go home that night.
He was feeling to the quick the irony
of his position; his duty now to pro
tect the levee he'd ridiculed; now the
only hope of the towns! The Integrity
of the man never faltered, though his
thoughts ran wild. Like the relentless
hounds of Actaeon, they pursued him,
barking at his vanity.
He started the anxious ranchers at
sacking sand. Bodefeldt ran up to tell
him that there was a hill of filled
sacks over In Mexlcnll. "Rlckard had
a bunch of Indians working for a
week."
The confusion of the shy fellow did
not escape Hardin. Oh, he knew what
Bodefeldt was ■ thinking, what every
ope was saying! They were all laugh
ing at him. The coincidence of this
extraordinary flood had upheld Rlck
ard's wild guess, haloed his Judgment.
It was all a piece of his Infernal luck.
Sickening, that's what it wnsl His
orders scattered. He ran up and down
the levee, giving orders; recalling
them when he found he was repeating
Blckard'a.
This new humiliation, coming on the
heels of the dredge fiasco, put him in
execrable temper. He shouted his or
ders over the noises of the night. H«
rated the men, bullied them. No on«
did anything right! Lord, what h
had to put up with! The other men
the ranchers and engineers, saw ll
his excitement certainty of the valley'!
doom.
The wind and the darkness con
tributed to the confusion. Eagei
ghovels were tossing up earth befort
anyone could tell where the dangei
point'would be. The water was noi
yet high enough to determine the plac
of battle. Sacked sand was belni
I brought over from Mexlcall. FlftJ
' pair of hnnds made short work ol
! Bickard's "hill." Lanterns were flash
ing through the durkness like restlesi
fireflies. The wind and rushing watei
deadened the sound of the voices. I)
was a battle of giants against pyg
mles. In the darkness, the glunti
threatened to conquer.
At three In the morning, a horsemat
rode In from Fassett's, one of the blf
ranches to the north, cut by the New
river.
. "The river Is catting back," ht
called through the din, "cutting back
toward the towns."
A turn in the gorge, a carelesi
dump-pit had pulled the river like a
mad horse back on Its branches. II
was kicking^mck.
"They arelhort-handed up there
They need help."
"Dynamite," cried Silent and Har
din antlphonally. They happened tc
be standing near.
"We must have dynamite," bawled
Hardin. "Are the wires down between
here and Brawley? We must get a
wire somehow to Los Angeles, to rust
j It down here this morning."
"It's here. There Is a carload oc
the siding," yelled 811ent.
Hardin did not need to ask by
whose orders It was there. An angrj
scowl spoiled his face.
"Put some on the machine." H«
was turning away.
Silent called after him. Did Mr.
Hardin think It was safe? There wai
no road between the towns and Fas
sett's. The night, the explosive—should
they not wait tilUPflrnlnal The ones
tlon threw his late chief Into a rage.
"Did I ask you to take It?" It wai
the opening for his fury. "Safe! Will
the towns be safe If the river cuts bach
here? The channel has got to tx
widened, and you talk of your OWE
precious skin! Walt till I ask you t(
take It. Get out the machine. I'll take
it to Ffissett's myself."
Silent left the levee, smarting. H«
backed the machine out of the shec
and sped through the darkness towarc
Mexlcall, where the car of explosive)
was isolated.
Hardin, buttoned up tovthe ears, hit
soft bat pulled tight over his forehead
was waiting Impatiently. Here wai
something to be done; he coveted th
activity.
"I thought you were never coming,'
he grumbled.
"Let me take It!" pleaded tfee en
gineer. ,
"Nonsense, there Is no danger." Hap
din saw personal affection In the plea
He put his hand affectionately on the
man's shoulder.
"You go home and catch a nap; thli
Is my Job." He was standing on th
step. "Crank her."
There was nothing for Silent to dc
but to get out. Hardin pointed the
long nose of the car Into the darkness.
She was off like the greyhound sh
suggested, missing a telegraph pole bj
balf an inch.
"Who Is in charge here?" a woman'!
voice wus piercing the racket of wind
and wave.
The dawn was breaking. ' Down the
New river he could see the wind whip
ping the Water Into whiteenpped fury.
"ViOtous," he muttered. "Those heavj
waves play the Old Harry with th«
levee."
"Where is my brother?"
"Miss Hardin!" cried Silent
"Where is he?" demanded Innes.
Her hair streamed away from her face.
Her cheeks were blanched. Her yellpv
eyes, peering Into the dusk, looked
jwllsh. Her wlnd-spanked skirts clung
to her limbs. To Silent she looked
boyish, as though clipped and trou
sered. "Where Is my brother?" she re
peated.
Silent told her without reservation!
where he had gone and why. There
was no feminine foolishness aboul
■tint sister ot-Hardln's. A chip of the
>1(1 block. Funny, the men all thought
9f her as Hardin's daughter on ac
count of the difference of age.- As tc
a comrade, proudly, he bragged pf the
taking of the dynamite over that road
less waste.
"Whom did he leave In his place?"
Silent knew, only, that he hlmsell
was not In charge! Hardin had or
dered him to bed.
"Maybe Mr. Estrada?" she haz
arded.
"He Is not here, he went down the
road to look after the track. Hardin
went off In such a hurry, I gness he
told nobody," chuckled the engineer,
still glowing.
"Then I'm It!" cried Innes Hurdln
"Will you take my orders, Silent?"
"Sure," he chuckled again.
Through the rush of the wind and
. water «me the whistle of n locomo
tive.
"A special 1" cried Silent. Hnrdln'i
rister and his friend looked at each
other, the same thought In mind:
Rlckard, in from the Heading!
On her face Silent saw the snme
spectacular impulse which had flashed
over Hardin's features a short time
before.
She put her hand on his arm. "Si
lent, you're his friend. Straighten this
out We can't have him come back
spying—and find this." She waved her
band toward the disorganized tfroups.
"I'd take more orders," suggested
the engineer.
"Then send a third of them home,
tell tjiem to come back tonight at six.
Send away the other third, tell them
to eome back at noon. Keep the other
shift. Say you'll . hnvo coffee sent
from the hotel, tell them Hardin says
to slop wasting stuff. Tell them, oh,
tell them anything you can think of.
Silent, before he comes." Her break
down was girlish.
She could hear the signal of the lo
comotive; coming closer. Then she
the pant of the engine as
It worfe«d up the grade. It was a
steady gentle climb all the way from
the Junction, two hundred feet below
sealevel, to the towns resting at the
level of the sea. It quickened her
thought of the power of the river.
Nothing between it and the tracks at
Salton. Nothing to stop Its flow Into
that spectacular new sea whose basin
did not need a drop of the preclons
misguided flow. Hhe could hear the
bells; now tbe train was coming Into
the station; she would not wait for
Silent. She did not want to meet
Rlckard.
No one saw her as she left the levee.
She passed Silent who was Issuing or
ders. She heard him say, "Tbe boss
says so."
She took, the road by the railroad
sheds, to svold the dismissed shift*
moving townward. At fall speed, sh
collided with a man, rounding the
sheds' corner. It was Rlckard. Hei

She recognized Parrlsh behind hlra.
She tried to tell him that she knew

not listen to her. "I'm not going to lei

She blinked rebellion at the sup

herself following Parrlsh. She took a
deep pride In her Independence, het
fearlessness. Tom let tier go where
she liked. She had nn Impulse to dis
miss Pnrrlsh; every man wns needed,
but he would obey Rlckard's orders.
Mac Lean had told her that! "Thej
don't'like him', but they mind him!"
Rlckard made his way down to tbe
levee.. "Where Is Hardin?" he asked
of every one he met. Silent came up
to explain that Hardin had gone up to
Fassett's Just a few minutes ngo to
carry dynamite. The river wns cut
ting back there. "Good," cried Rlck
ard, "that's bully!"
"He left me In charge," glibly lied
the friend of Hardin. "Any orders,

"Things nre going all right?" began
the manager. He stopped. From
above came a dull roar.
"Dynamite I" cried Rlckard.
The friend of Ilardln hnd nothing

his chlM.
There was another detonation. Down

ASPIRATIONB OF ITALY SEEM IN

DELAY MAY BE OF BENEFIT
Marshall Foch Report* That Germany

I Paris.—The aspirations of Ilaly 08
regards the Adriatic sea coast still
| appear to be the insurmountable ques
tion before the council of four at the
Purls-peace conference.
Discussion of the Italian claims wu* i
followed by two additional confer
ences, but as yet there apparently has
boon no breach in the deadlock over
the demands which the Italians con-1
sider irreducible and the compromise >
offer of the other participants In the |
negotiation* Promier Clemenreau,
David Lloyd George and President
Wilson.
A delay of three days is Ip prospect
for the meeting at Versailles between
the representative)* of the allied and
associated powers am! the German
J delegatus for the delivery to the Ger
mans of the allied peace terms. The
German delegation. Marshal Koch has
been Informed, cannot reach Versailles
until April 28. Originally tlioy wore
Invited to be there April 25.
The three days' delay possibly may
I be of benefit to the allies In com
pleting tho draft of the lengthy docu
l ment, whtlch Is said to approximate
100,000 words. Somo dr-tibt has been
expressed that the allies would be
nble to give tho Germans more than a
summary of tholr peace conditions at
tho first meeting at Versailles owing
to the length of tho document.
Talk of Che German government
sending merely "messengers" to Ver
sialics to receive the peace treaty is
discounted by official Information re
ceived by Marshal Koch that the Gor
man delegation will consist of six high
personages, headed by Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau, the foreign rain
Ister.
