Bob realized these things keenly and they were painful to him, yet he could not bring himself to give up his plan to be an engineer. “It was really shameful of those great big boys,” said Mother. “And I was too late,” put in the boy. “Bob had beaten me to it. I was sure some glad when I found the old wall was safe. It was the thing I feared most as I rode for the soldiers—that Miguel would give the signal before I could get back.

Awfully pleasant that would be! Oh, well, he didn’t mind. “I did,” said Mr. Whitney, “but as the dam will furnish enough water to irrigate one hundred and eighty thousand acres, you see that brings the cost down to about forty dollars an acre, which won’t be much once it is all under cultivation.
