Hydro Preparing
Post -War Program
Service To Be Extended To
Additional 5,000 to 6,000
Farms In Ontario
Rural Ontariowill provide an an-
nual market for about $4,000,000
worth of electrical appliances and
equipment and accessory materials
after the war ends, Dr. T. H, Hogg,
chairman, Ontario Hydro Power
Commission, stated last week.
Hydro is .already preparing its
Yost -war program of rural electri-
fication, and representations have
already been made to the Federal
Metals Controller to release addi-
tional materials during the, present
year.
If this request is granted, the
Commission hopes to extend service
en existing rural lines and add uew
uhort extensions making Hydro
available to an additional 5,000 to
0,000 farms, thus aiding food pro-
duction for the war. The plan calls
for construction of 300 miles of
line.
Two Advantages
'Under the new rate structure to
aural users, Dr. Hogg states 97 per
Bent. of rural consumers have re-
ceived recluctiou in. cost of elec-
tricity. Existing consumers on
farms are using an average of only
about 12ee per cent. of electricity
they night consume. Dr. Hogg
said there are two basic advantages
io be enjoyed by using electricity
lo a greater extent on the farms.
"MONTY" INSPECTS
RUINS OF CHURCH
General Sir Bernard \l oltgomery
is shown here amid the ruins of an
Italian church in Fussacesia.
First is an increase in production
with a minimum of farm help; and
second, farmers can make their
farms more' comfortable and con-
venient places on which to live by
installing not only a water pump-
ing system but modern household
appliances and equipment.
Dr. Hogg emphasized the inter-
dependence between. industrial la-
bor and the farmer. In post-war
days there must be recognition of
the fact that industrial workers
and farmers are equally important
to the stability of our economic
system.

CHAPTER XV
SYNOPSIS
Dave Bruct, out of a job, arrives
at Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar ranch.
Curran, the foreman, promises him
a job if he can break a horse cal-
led Black Dawn When he suc-
ceeds, he discovers Curran expect-
ed the horse to kill him. A girl
named Lois rides up, angry with
Dave for breaking "Her" horse.
She refuses to speak to Dave even
when he uses his savings to pay
off the- mortgage on the small
ranch she shares with her foster
father, a man named Hooker.
When Hooker is killed by a shot
fired through the window, Lois
has Dave arrested for murder.
But when the local people, en.
couraged by Curran, attempt to
lynch him, Lois and Black Dawn
save him, but Lois Is wounded.
They are now back at Hooker's
ranch house.
"You think Pm gain' off to leave
you like this?" Dave said.
"I didn't think you would. But
I'm going with you, And we've
saddled Hooker's horse, while Lois
did the same to the black, Then
Dave wrapped the package of food
in his slicker roll and placed it
behind the cantle.
"Listen!" Lois whispered.
Straining his ears, Dave could
hear the sound of horse hoofs
somewhere below. There must
have been at least half a dozen
animals, to judge from the showers
of shdle that were being dislodg-
ed. The posse was upon their
trail.

Dave darted into the cabin and
put out the light. Iie had no
doubt it had beau seen. A yell
from the lower mesa indicated
that fact, and there. sounded the
thud of horses galloping over the
stretch.
"We're just in time," Lois whis-
pered,
Dave swung her into her saddlo
and mounted Hooker's horse. Cur' -

hand now, but they still had to

"Where to?"
"There's a place I know where
they won't find us. It's a cave in
'the mountains 1 found once, long
ago, You'll be safe there till they
get tired of looking for you, or
think you've got clean away,"
"You ain't strong enough to ride,
Lois."
"I reckon I'm all right, Give me
your hand." She struggled up in-
to a sitting posture. "1'll be all
right," she said, slipping to her
feet. "Seel" she swayed- for a
moment, and Dave put out his hand
anxiously, then stood firm onher
feet. "First of all, you want a
gun. Mr. Hooker had a forty-five
and a box of cartridges under his
brook. See if you can find them,"

Dave went into the adjoining
room and found the gun which he
thrust into his holster. Iie went
back and found Lois trying to .lift
a slab of bacon from a book beside
the door.
He lifted it down, got some
flour and coffee, and carried them
outside, Lois came to the door.
"Black Dawn will come when I
call hasp,' she said, "anti Mr.
Hooker's horse. We'll be all right.
Tho saddles and reins are in
there." She pointed toward the
salad behind the cabin, its outline
just visible in the dense darkness.
Then she whistled twice.
A moment or two later Dave
heard the sound of a horse's hoofs
scranhblin.g up to the edge of the
mesa. In the light that came
from the cabin he could see the
big stallion coining at a slow lop
toward the girl. Behind him was
the vague outtliue of another horse
—Hooker's.
Feeling hip way into the shack,
topmost mesa. And the next in-
stant the black was moving silent-
ly away into the scrub, and Dave's
horse was following.
The horses knew the trail in the
darkness, for they picked their
way through what seemed en al-
most impenetrable growth o 1
stunted jack -pine and aspen. The
fugitives- had been just in time,
They could not have been more
than a hundred and fifty yards
from the cabin when there came
an outburst of savage yells, and
the rattle of a fusillade of gunfire.
"We got yuh, Bruce!" Dave
heard Curran shouting. "We saw
that light. We know you iwu is
thar. Come out and take it, or
we'll burn the shack over yore
beads. 1,Ve got yen sitrrortided"
But the black and Hooker's
brown horse had already penetra-
ted the tangle of undergrowth
anti were eecending a trail run-
ning steeply up the mountains,
The utter silence of the moun-
tains now. Dave and Lois riding
side by side over the uplands. A
sense of joy in Dave's heart such
as he had never known, Ile leaned
toward Lois.
"Yuh Paulin' better?" he asked.
"It ain't far to that cave yah spoke,
of, is it?"
"Not far now," site answered,
and he noticed with apprehension
how weary her voice sounded.
Lois, in the iead, turned Black
Dawn ride, and Dave perceived,.
in the faint starlight, a narrow
trail that ran away from a ravine
through a spindling growth of as-
pen. The horses were going .tlow'n
a deep slope now, bracing !heir
shoulders firmly, half walking and
half sliding. It eas evident that
they had been along this trail. be-
fore.
