was the biggest body of water In
miles, bnt useless to those dry
plains down there, and he began
dreaming of the things that
could be done.”
“I see,” said Anne softly, "It
was a big dream.”
“Yes, it was big. It was par
Ocularly big for one man to
swing, nh bnilt this place, and
after that I came and lived with
him every summer.”
He stopped, frowning remini
scently.
"When they actually started
work on the dam, people began
to take serious notice. They re
membered what was being done
in the Imperial Valley. Eagle
Lake swarmed with workers,
and the dam grew. And then the
big day came.
"It was a great day. No mat
ter what came of it, it can nev
er be anything less than that.
The signal was given and the
water rushed down the sluice
ways to make his wilderness
blossom. Everybody cheered, and
Uncle Bob gripped my shoulder
and said, ‘Barry, you and I be
lieved In this when other peo
ple laughed. When I go, this Is
to be yours.”
Barry looked at her with a
twisted grin.
"So this is my inheritance, and
anybody down in Marston would
tell you that It’s no better than
junk. For after the f'l’sf mo
ment. the tragedy came. The ir
rigation was there, but it didn’t
irrigate. The valley was full of
gravel sinks that no one had sn
spected, and the water drained
off as fast as it was run in. It
was a complete, smashing fail
ure.”
‘‘Oh, how dreadful!” It was
all that she found herself able
to say.
■Barry threw away a half-con
sumed cigarette and arose.
"The Pinos isn’t the only
stretch o£ arid land around here.
There's the Junipero, bigger and
better, and with a soil—it isn’t
really .sand—that will give its
very heart to yon for a steady
supply of water. I want to us©
this dam to irrigate the Juni
pero.’’
He ran a brown hand through
his hair and laughed abruptly.
“I suppose you think I’m chas
ing an elusive rainbow?”
“Why shouldn’t you, if you’ve
found one that’s worth chas
ing?"
"You darling!” His eyes kin
dled.
‘‘For these kind words. . . .”
She jumped up and gave him
a prim little marionette's bow.
"Come on. lazy. I want to go
down by ihe lake again.”
He arose obligingly and fol
lowed her, overtaking her in
two strides. They went down
side by side, and where the pitch
was steep he caught her arm in
his. Within a few yards of the
water's edge he spread out his
coat for her to sit on and dropp
ed down beside her.
"Anne, will you marry me?”
“You’re a sudden person, Bar
ry.” She hedged for time. “Do
you realize that we’d never met
until a few weeks ago? Just
four—’’
"Four Hays was enc(u.?h for
me. Anne, darling, I don't want
to rush you. hut you know how
! feel, don’t you? I love you. I
keep seeing you here all the
time, every day. every hour.
You and I together. . . . Anne!”
Warmth flooded over her;
there was a singing tingle in her
veins. Why not? Who In that
distant, outside world would ever
know? Just the two of them,
here in this secluded place.
Temptation tugged at her.
"Tak© yonr chance!” !t whisper
ed. "Take It!” ...”
And then recollection flooded
back, crawling ovet her like an
oily ▼ave,
"Anne, look at me!"
Her throat felt stitl and dry.

But don’t think”—he reached
out and laid a firm clasp on her
wrist—"don’t think that I’ll give
up without an' everlastingly good
try.”
She would not look at him.
Couldn’t he see that he was
tearing her heart out? “It’s no
use, Barry. I like you awfully,
but—”
"I don’t want to be liked,” he
said savagely. "I’d want you to
be just as crazy about me as I
am about you. I'd never be sat
isfied with just possessing—I
want all of you.”
All of her! She felt desolate
and a little frightened. It oc
curred to her that no matter
what came to her now—love,
friendship, trouble—she would
always have something to hide.
A restless week crawled by.
Another, flat and uninteresting,
trudged stolidly at its heels. The
days were just days, one of them
plodding stupidly after another.
Barry still cam© own to Trail’s
End, but he seemed always to be
on his way somewhere else.
Playing around with Barry waa
dangerous, but letting him go
left a blank emptiness. Anne
worked violently, indoors and
out, but the zest had gone from
it. Warmth and color had gone.
The day had not been of the
kind to encourage a stiff morale.
A hot wind had been blowing In
from the desert for hours. Anne
sat for a while beside her tink
ling little creek.
“Miss Anne, are you out
there?”
"Coming, Martha. Anything I
can do?”
“I wish you’d do up that pack
age Boone’s going to stop for.
I’ve left some paper on the ta
ble.”
Martha had left a sheet of
newspaper spread out for her.
Time looked down at it. Idly.
A heading caught her eye. It
was a Los Angeles p-aper, and it
was two months old. Sh^ leaned
over the spread-out sheet. Then
she was very still.
To Martha, out in the kitchen,
there came the sharp sound of
tearing paper.
“Oh, Martha, I’ve torn this!
Have you apy more?”
The voice was careless, but
her eyes were brilliant with ex
citement as she came to the
kitchen door. She tied the pack
age up swiftly, and then vanish
ed into her own room. The news
paper went also.
Once behind a closed door she
fingers. She read again, more
carefully this time, scanning
each

through her, warm and lovely.
"Thank God,” she whispered.
"I don’t hare to be afraid of
that!”
The last words were shaky. . .
Mustn’t get hysterical.

Pronto was a word that Cap
tain understood. He took the
steep plunge valiantly and with
out a pause.
"Hello. Any objection if I ride
along?”
“Reckless cowboy, aren’t you?
Do you usually slide down half
a mountainside to meet your
friends?”
“No, this is something special.
Movie stuff,” he added, deprecat-
ingly, half ashamed of his dra
matic plunge.
"It was a real thrill, anyway,
bnt for the first few seconds you
had me well scared. Suppose
Captain had stumbled, or any
thing?”
"Captain doesn’t stumble or
anything.”
"Comet doesn’t stumble, eith

Barry glanced up with a quick
thing!
Tho accident occurred On the
tracks of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad.
The victims were struck near a
Shelton town playhouse, directly
across the Housatonlc river from
the boathouse of the Yale Athlet
ic association.
Persons who first reached the
scene found the mangled bodies,
with all but three the chil
dren dead. Two of those still
living died within a few mo
ments, never regaining consci
ousness.
The fireman on the north
bound freight si'.ld that as his
train passed the children, inter

southbound freight. Apparently
his warning was not heard.

railroad officials began an In

the scene for some time.
RAIN WANTED!
Vlnlta, Okla., July 26.—
When crops around Vinita began
burning up from the prolonged
drought, Hugh McClure, Vinita
business man, decided It was
high time to do something about
it.
He ran an advertisement In a
newspaper, asking for rain.
Five hours later dark clouds
shut out the scorching sun and
half an inch of rain fell on the
parched region.
