Rickard, an engl j neer of the Overland Pacific, Is called t< the office of President Marshall in Tucson, Ariz. "Casey" Is an enigma to th< I office force; ne wears "auac ciomco but he had resigned a chair of engineer ing in the East to go on the road as z ; fireman and his promotion had been ppec i tacular. While waiting for Marshall Rick. I ard reads a report on the ravages of th< ! Colorado, despite the efforts of Thomas ! Hardin of the Desert Reclamation com ! pany. This Hardin had been a studen i under Rlckard and had married Gertj ; Holmes, with whom Rickard had fanciec i he was in love. CHAPTER II?Marshall tells Rickarc j the Overland Pacific has got to step It to save the Imperial Valley and sends him to the break.

CHAPTER IV. (Continued From Tuesday) Ricbard left His indoor view to lool through the French windows opening on a side street. He noticed a slendei but regular procession. All the mei I passing fell in the same direction, j "Cocktail route," explained one oj I his neighbors, his mouth full of boilet j beef. j "Oyster cocktail?" smiled the new j comer. "The real thing!

The Amazon with a handkerchie: apron brought Rickard his soup. H< ! was raising his first spoonful to hi: : mouth when he saw the f:?ce, careful!: %W3 He Saw the Face, Carefully Avtrted. averted, of the girl he had met at th< Marshalls' table, Innes Hardin.

Tin discovery that Gerty was not a jesl brought the surprised gratificatior which we award a letter or composition written in our youth. Were we as clever as that, so complete at eighteen or twenty-one? Could we, now, with all our experience, do any better, or indeed as well? That particular sentence with wings! Could we make it fly today as it soared yesterday? Rickard was finding that Gerty's more mature charms did not accelerate his heart-beats, but they were certainly flattering to his early judgment. And he had expected her to be a shock! He was staring into his plate of , chilled soup. Calf-love! For he had 1 loved her, or at least he had loved her chin, her pretty childish way of lifting it She was prettier than he had pictured her.

It held [ I strength and power. The outline was ! sharp and distinct, showing tho strong I; lines, tho determined mouth of tho pii>i j noer.* There was something else, some [ thing which stood for distinction?no r | it couldn't be Hardin. 1 And tlien, because an outthrust llr . changed tho entire look of the man J Itickard asked his table companionst j who was tho man with the two ladies ' j near the door. ' | "That, suh," his neighbor from Ala j bam a became immediately oratorical ' j "that is a big man, suh. If the Inv .

That if what we all want to know." RIckard thought that he had wantei to know something quite different, anc reminded the gentleman from Alabam; z j that he had not told him the name. ' j "The father of this valley, of th( | reclamation of this desert, Thoma; 1 j Hardin, suh." f Rickard tried to reset, without at j J tracting their attention, the group o: j nis impressions of the man whose per j sonality had been so obnoxious to hiu in the old Lawrence days. The Hardii sj he had known had also large features * 1 but of the flaccid irritating order. He j! summoned a picture of Hardin as h< had shuffled into his own classroom, oi l up to the long table where Gerty ha< always queened it among her mother1! ^ boarders. He could see the rough un polished boots that had always offend ? ed him as a betrayal of the man's in ^ ner coarseness; the badly fitting coat . the long awkward arms, and the satii ^ fied, loud-speaking mouth. These fea tures were more definite. Could tlm< , bring these changes? Had he changed UKe tnat? ?iaa uiey seen mmr uoun j, Gerty, would^ Hardin remember him 3 Wasn't it his place to make himsel: _ known; wave the flag of old friendsliii , over an awkward situation? r He found himself standing in fron of their table, encountering first, th< eyes of Hardin's sister. There was nr surprise, no welcome there for him. H< felt at one? the hostility of the camp His face was uncomfortably warm Then the childish profile turned on him A look of bewilderment, flushing intc greeting?the years had been kind t< Gerty Holmes! ** "Do'you remember me, Rickard?" If Hardin recognized a difficult situa tion, he did not betray it. It was t man Rickard did not know who shoot him warmlv bv the hand, and said thai indeed he had not forgotten him. "I've been expecting you. My wife Mr. Rickard, and my sister." ' "Why, what are you thinking of Tom? To introduce Mr. Rickard! ] introduced you to each other, year? ago!" Gerty's cheeks were red. Hei bright eyes were darting from one tc the other. "You know he was coming and did not tell me?" . "You were at the Improvement club when the telegram came," put in Innes ' Hardin, without looking at Rickard. N<; trace of the Tucson cordiality in that proud little face! No acknowledgment that they had met at the Marshall's! "Oh, you telegraphed to us?" The blond arch smile had not aged. "That wa9 friendly and nice." Rickard had not been self-conscious for many a year. He did not know what to say. He turned from her uj> turned face to the others. Innos Hardin was staring out of the window over the heads of several crowded tables; Hardin was gazing at his plute. ; Rickard decided that he would get out of this before Gerty discovered that it n-as neither "friendly nor nice." ' "If I had known that you were her*1. I would have insisted on your dinin:; ' with us, in our tent. For it's terrible, ; here, isn't it?" She flashed at him thr j look he remembered so vividly, the ' childish coquettish appeal. "We dine 1 at home, till It becomes tiresome, and 1 then we come foraging for variety. But 1 you must come to us. say Thursday. Is 1 that right for you? We should love it." 1 Still those two averted faces. Rickard said Thursday, as he was bidden, and got back to his table, wondering why in thunder he had let Marshall persuade him to take this job. Hardin waited a scant minute to pro test: "What possessed you to ask him to dinner?" "Why shouldn't I? He is an old friend." Gerty caught a gin nee of appeal, from sidter to brother. "Jealous? she pouted charmingly at her lord. "Jealous, no!" bluffed Hardin. He thought then that she knew, tha Innes had told her. The Lawrence epi sode held no sting to him. Once, 1 had enchanted him that he had carriei Gff the bojirdlng-hoyseL belle, whom.evei chut" bookman' ~hacT found desirable^ c bookman! A superior dude! He ha< c always had those grand airs.

Ricard had always acted as if it had been someth-; j ing to be ashamed of. It made him'I sick. "They've done it this time. It's j 1 a fool choice." Again, that look of pleading from In 1 nes.

The Ilardins watched hei II . crumbling bread on the tablecloth'! ihinking, fearfully, that she was going1? I to cry. |j "Didn't I tell you?" Her voice, re I pressed, carried the threat of tears.

"I'm glad, on the whole, - that you planned it as a surprise. For . I carried it off as if we'd not been in. suited, disgraced." i "Gerty!" expostulated Ilardin. "Gerty!" implored Innes. i "And we are in for a nice friendly [ dinner!" "Are you quite finished?" Hardin get up. I As the three passed out of the dining I room, Rickard caught their several ex, pressions: Hardin's stiff, indifferent.; j Gerty's brilliant but hard, as she | . flashed a finished, brave little smile in j , his direction. The sister's bow was distinctly haughty. In the hall, Gerty's laugh rippled I r out. It was the laugh Rickard remem- i ^ bered, the light frivolous cadence J which recalled the flamboyant pattern | of the Holmes' parlor carpet, the long, I crowded dining table where Gerty had! J reigned. It told him that she was in- j ^ different to his coming, as she meant ' it should. And it turned him back to I \ a dark corner In the honeysuckle- i draped porch where? he had spent so I many evenings with her, where once i he had held her hand, where he told | her that he loved her. For he had | loved her, or at least he thought he j had! And had run away from her ex- i pectant eyes. A cad, was he, because i he had brought that waiting look into | her eyes, and had run from it? j Should a man ask a woman to give ; , her life into his keeping until he is ' 1 quite sure that he wants it? He was j revamping his worn defense. Should J he live up to a minute of surrender, of j tenderness, if the next Instant brings i sanity, and disillusionment? He OTuld bury now forever self-reproach. He could laugh at his own vanity. Gerty j ; Hardin, it was easy to see, had forgotten what he had whispered to Gerty Holmes. They met as sober old friends. That ghost was laid.

Lyles Glenn, Jr., has been award-j i ed the croix de guerre with palm, . by the French war department, for bravery on the western front during ! the spring fighting of 1918. This , decoration is the highest honor a: warded by the French government and was recommended by the com-| mander of an army corps. At the outbreak of the European war, Captain Glenn was a Rhodes 1 scholar at Oxford, England, and later rendei-ed valuable service in the relief work in Belgium and northern France. When America entered the war, ne returned 10 mis country anu was graduated at the first officers' raining school, at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. He volunteered for immediate overseas service and was placed in command of company G, Twentysixth infantry, First division. ' While serving in this capacity on a the Montdidier front, Captain Glenn !? successfully brought several com-i_ panies out of a severe and unexpected artillery bombardment. On the Noyon front, June the 9th, he executed with conspicuous bravery a| trench raid. In this action he was wounded, but succeeded in capturing' important German prisoners and in; bringing back to the American lines the desired information. It was for these services that his decoration was recommended by his superior officer and also by the commanding French officer.
