The sky was like ‘ blue velvet. and the river glittered in the sun. The time was Jen . i912. licen- or Upjohn, who was en years old- er than the century, set before her typewriter in the main tent of the levee camp by the river, amwerlng her father's correspondence. Her tether, Fred Upjohn, contractor in charge oi the work, was reading and signing the letters while he finished the cigar he amok after his noon dinner. "
Fred and Eleanor were very good friends. They respected each other. Fred had spent thirty years building rempartsto hold the river beck from the towns and pleate- tione that bordered it. and. when Eleanor came home from college announcing that she had studded
wanted to work, Fred welcomed her as his secretary.
Eleanor was proud oi him. From smdbeg-toter tn the beet levee contractor on the Mississippi-not. many men could boast such e rise. Today the UpJohns had a home on one o! the ntost beautiful reel- dential streets in New Orleans. and when Fred came up-nvcr to supervise the construction of a levee he lived in spacious comfort. 1 The very tent they occupied had a look of success. ‘This tent was the main room of the contractor's quarters, and with its companions formed a dwelling as easily lived in as a. house.
Eleanor was not pretty, but she wasmeautiiul as a steel bridge is bewutihil, and gave the same im. presslon oi strength and economy oi line. Built with the structural excellence oi an object fit for its purpose. her body was lean and hard, with long thighs, so that when she stood up she was stra-lsht as s spear and when she walked she moved directly and without haste. Her features were far from perfect, the nose too long and the Jaw too wide, and there was a stubborn line to her mouth, but its very irregularities made it a striking face, with a look of cool and uncompromising honesty. and she had very fine eyes. dark blue with ‘black lashes and clearly arched black eyebrows. Her hair was dark brown, braided to lie above her forehead like a coronet.
The brilliance of the day gave a sparkle even to the interior of the tent. Eleanor wanted to go out. She had been working ' since six that morning, with only a pause for dinner, and she had a typewriter-cramp between her shoulders. She rolled a sheet o! paper into the typewriter.
"That's the last," she exclaimed, "and I'm dead."
"You don't lock it," Fred en- swered without concern. He work- ed fourteen hours a day when he was building a- levee and-saw no reason why anybody else should object to doing the same.
Eleanor made a. face at him as she put an envelope into the type- writer and wrote the address. "Mr. Kester Lame, Ardetth Plantation, Delroy, Louisiana".
“What's this answer to?" Fred inquired.
"Mr. Lame wrote asking when we expect to be finished. He's Just hoping we'll be gone when he starts planting his cotton."
"The planters don't think we're a good influence on their labor- ers," Fred remarked good-hunter- edly as~he wrote his name. "But my men‘ don't make trouble.‘
Eleanor stood up end stretched. "ls all that cotton land over there Ardelth Plantation?"
_ He nodded.
"An enormous place. Must be two thousand acres"
"Mortgaged for all it's worth. 1 meet." he commented indiffer-

"Why do you say that?”
Fred grinned as he got to his feet. "They're that sort, oney, the Lernes. Got ancestors ike the - plague, too blue-blooded to work 0r do anything else except drink ' and chase women and look mourn- ful about the Civil War." . Eleanor laughed. She had perch- . ed herself on the desk with re- iaxed enjoyment. "Anyway, the Government's giving them a. good levee to piotect their land." “Right? Fred started for the door. "I guess I'd better be get- ting bsck."
She watched him go out of the tent. After a moment she slipped oi the desk, stretched again, and “ went into her bedroom-tent for a coat. Throwing it over her arm she climbed the abandoned levee and walked along the crest. As she reached s little oak tree that had found a. foothold on the old levee Eleanor stopped, leaning back against the trunk to catch her breath and enjoy the dazzle around her.
From fer way she heard a chugging no e. The persistent" rhythm of the sound made it clear“
under the irregular shouts from the workmen. Eleanor turned to

The car groened to a stop near a scrub pine at the foot of the levee,‘ and without Jlllietlnfl the- _, engine the driver sprang out.» She sew that he was young and tell. with-hair blown to a froth all over his heed. He glanced around, then with s stsrtof evident surprise he caught sight oi her. An in- stant later he was climbing the levee to where she stood.
He looked like a young man who considered the world a dellghtiul place and himself most fortunate to have been born. He was smil- ing upon herwiih admiring de- ference, the look of the bom charmer oi women who by habit smiles upon any onecf them not positively ugly. as though he is
