Chapter Ter * BEVINS’ PLAN NORMAN left her at the street +“ door and Judith ascended to the floor. of the Bevins Building. on which Big Tom kept his private suite. Sie opened the door with her own key, then stood for a moment. ‘The room was dark, and Big Tom sat before the wide window opening onto the dusk and city lights. “Thank you for coming, Judy,” he said. “Turn on the desk light, will you please, there , . .” he sighed queerly as the yellow glow revealed the desk with its pile of neatly stacked papers. Judith looked at it in surprise, she looked at him. “Mister Bevins ... you're iu,” she erled. “No, Judy. I was {lt this morning. Alt right now. Judy come here, come close ... that’s a girl.” He searched her face with an in- tent gaze, much as Delphy had searched it an hour before, and like the old colored woman, he nodded dy.” he said, “you're a fine girl. You've made up in great measure for my not having a son. We've worked here together tor four years and | believe we understand each other pretty thorougitly, don’t you?” Judith looked at him in surprise. fle seemed suddenly old—“Yes, in- deed, Big Tom.” . “lL may do things In the future which seem a little queer to you, but knowing me I believe you'll see below the surface to the motive. Now to business. “Get that surveyors plat of the Rio Diablo basin, will you .. . that’s it. Now see the crest lime ... then those dotted lines beyond. “I've a record ofthe deeds filed in Rio Mar here, and EL have a few new deeds, taking care of the upper dam, I want you to check that map as I read these off .. . you remember you made 2 ¢90: the one in the aoe Rive Da * ‘and. -see that every inch of the bas‘n, upper and lower dam, spillway and two miles beyond is covered. Ready?” H** ‘apéour later Judith looked up. “It's water tight. Mr, Bev- ins. Except for the Scoggins farm angle which juts‘into the main basin, there isn't an inch of ground you need that you don't own.” “Tomorrow, Judith, you will own i.” “What... what do you mean?” “This. After f left you last sight I got the wires busy. By dawn I knew Lampere was trying to double cross me. When our reports of the annual water footage which might be expected tm the Rio Diablo basin came tm, Lampere discovered that what be had thought an old fool's hobby, could be made a veritable gold mine. “He thought that by purchasing a salient piece of land, a piece néces- ececcvccecceresecsecseoee Today’s Birthday Harold L.

John H. Bartlett of New Hamp- shire, banker, onetime governor and former assistant Postmaster- sary for my building of the dam, he conld force me to exploit the proj- ect, charge the-poor landholders ex- orbitant rates for their irrigation privileges, and utilize the water power for selfish purposes. “He discovered 1 owned every bit of the land sava that owned by Scoggins and sent a representative to Scoggins, offering him a remark- able price for his land. Fortunately he approached the most loyal, land- loving man there. He kept faith with me and refused to sell (you under- stand, Judy, that Lampere did not show his hand in any of this, but be- cause of your friend, Clia, I was able to trace it back to his influence). “Having failed to obtain land around the lower dam, Lampere had discovered that they might switch the land owned by the natives and through virgin territory, upon which « Lampere quickly obtained an op- tion. “However, he first had to acquire { land around the upper dam, and thanks to that storm, [ was spurred | into buying that before he got into | the field. “AS things stand now, I have Lam- pere blocked both ways. The land will not be exploited, either through his forcing the people off by making them pay the maximum rate fixed by the state commission, taking their land and reselling it, or by attempting to change the river channel through new land which he could hold at a high figure.” “But, Big om, with all of this explained, just why are you turn- ing the land over to me?” “Because I trust you. Because, queer as it may seem to you, | can trust you more than any living be- ing to carry out my desires. “Judy, remember the East Trini- dad viaduct? I was no further along with that piece of work than I anr with this dam, when I was called to Washington. Acting as my secre- tary, you supervised that job, and completed it in exact accordance with my plans. “We have worked together so long, that I know you interpret my meaning whether it is in words or figures, and you do not attempt to change either to please your own in- dividuality. “& Man, no matter how loyal, or efficient he might be, could not-help changing details, J want each detail carried out according to my plan. “This dam will be my lat piece of work, a menament, or say, an al- tar that I waut to erect for having had such a fine, full life. I want it to be buift of my thought just as it was conceived by my thought .. . not for the sake of masculine ego- tism, but because it concerns so many individuals who lean on me until they are strong enough to walk alone. “Read Puskin’s bit on building sometime, the one which starts off “Let us think that we build forever, let it not be for present delight, or present use alone.’ “Because I feel this way I want te make sure that before this night ends, you will have a complete con- ception of the Rio Diablo Dam, and 43 soon as physically possible, you wilt have in shorthand, every detail! Becessary to its construction.” (Copyright, 1934. by Jeanne Bowman) Judith faces 9 responsi- pine temercens ny “eee t i General, born at Sunapee, N. H., ; 65 years ago.
