Hardin. She told him that the camp
would no longer oe dull; that she nad
tea every afternoon ir ner rauiaua.
She convicted aim archly ot British
bood. "She knew he must have hl?
tea!"
"You American women are the wonders
of the world! Nothing daunts you.
In the desert, and you give afternoon
teas. I'll oe there every day!"
He gave her open admiration; she
looked young and wistful In her soft
flowing mulls, the moonlight helping
her. She fell into a delieiouh flurry of
nerves and excitement Later, she
wandered with him from a rude gaping
world Into a heaven of silvered decks j
and gleaming waters. He told her of
himself, of his lonellncs; his mudle
had dropped him to self-pity.
Qerty Hardin heard her bars drop
behind her. She snatched her first
gt'mpse of freedom.

CHAPTER XtyX. .
The Dragon Scores.
The Palmyra was once again on Its
aiding. Marshall was at the front
again; b'ving made another ol his
swift dashes from Tucson. This time
he expected officially to close the gate.
Claudia was with him. She never left
the car, unless it were to step out to;
the platform to see what she could
from there of the river work.
Hardin and Rickard had been devoting
anxious weeks. A heavy rainfall
and cloudburst in the mountains of
northern Arizona had swollen the feeders
of the Qila river which roared
down to the Colorado above Yuma.
The eroding streams carried mountains
In solution which settled against
the gate, a scour starting above and
below it Relief had to be given on
the jump. A spur track was rushed
across the by-pass above the gate, as
the closing of the ill-fated gate with
the dashboards was no longer possible^ j
A rock-fill was the only means of
closure. In the distant quarries men
were digging out rock to fill the call
from the river.
Marshall came down to see the completed
spur. Before he reached the
Intake, the first rock train bad moved
onto the spur track. The treslle bad
igg^ksettledt'tfce train had oeen thrown
^^^ rom the rails and wrecked.

airs. Marshal! had invited Innes Hardin
to dine with them. Innes fell to
flushing, and chilling, as a lithe-muscled
figure came <Hrectly to her. His
eyes?where was the look she had
feared, of possessive tenderness? The
Quitxlcal gleam was gone. On guard 1'
A solemn business, loving, when you 1
know that It means?life! On guard,
though, to her! She pulled her flngera
from his strong lingering clasp,
and joined Mrs. Marshall.
Rickard had his soldier look on. She
was watching him covertly as he
talked with his host and Crothers, as.
though she were not there; as though 1
something were not waiting for him to
claim. How could he be talking, ob-J
livfous of everything else In the world
except the river? Was that?loving?;
Could she think of anything else when
he was in the same room with her?
He was a soldier of the modern army.
It came to her, a sort of tender divination,
that he would not divide his
thoughts, ever, with her, with love, until
his battle was woo. Well, couldn't
she understand that? What her accu-|
sation against Gerty? Sex honor?
keep off the track! Wasn't that her;
own notion? Oughtn't she to be proud'
of him?
She had brought a nest of waspish
thoughts tumbling about her ears.
Gerty! He had loved Gerty. He
> couldn't love her, If his thoughts had
ever lingered, with that same seriously
solemn look od the false little face
of her sister-in-law.
After dinner they were standing In
the shade of the Palmyra. It was a
soft still afternoon. The fierceness of
the savage desert had melted to her
days of lure. Beyond, the turbid wa- i
ters of the Colorado bore a smiling surface.
There was nothing to hint of
treachery.
It was a minute of pleasant lassb]
tude, snatched from the turmoil. Rickard
had succumbed to the softness of
the day and his mood. He was enjoying
the thought of lanes' nearness,
< though she kept her face turned from
him. He knew by the persistence of
those averted eyes that she was as
acutely conscious of his presence as he
wag, restful ly, of berg. Deliberately,
L he was prolonging the instant
A stir cn the river had caught the
n||Xriert eye of Tod Marshall. He swore
string of picturesque Marshalllan
oaths. Rlckard's eyes Jumped toward
the by-pass. The placid waters had
W ^-suddenly buckled. Majestically the
f gate rose and went out Months of
Work swept away! The gate drifted
a hundred feet or more. Some unseen
obstruction caught it there, to mock

Innes, aghast, turned toward Rickard.
His face was expressionless.
There was a babel of excited voices
behind them, Bodefeldt, MacLean,
Tony, Crothers, Bangs, all talking at
once. Her eyes demanded something
of Rlckard. A fierce resentment rose
^ft&galrs* his calmness. "He knew it,"
she rebelled. "He's been expecting
