Hydro May Build
More Rural Lines
Three hundred utiles of rural
Hydro .lines will be constructed in
Ontario next summer if the prob-
lems of labor and materials do not
interfere with the program, Hydro
Chairman George Challies (P.C.,
Grenville -Dundas) informed the
Legislature recently.
Mr. Challies said the commis-
sion has accepted 4,000 farm con-
tracts and 2,000 urban contracts
for electrical services, the largest
volume in the history of the Prov-
ince for a like period.
"Last year 44 utiles of rural Hy-
dro line were constructed," said
Mr. Challies. "We are asking the
Dominion authorities to let us con-
struct 300 utiles of rural line this
summer: If we can get labor and
materials we will carry out this
program as fast as possible."
In reply to an Opposition ques-
tion, Ivlr. Challies said the 300 -utile
program would be divided among
all parts of the Province on the
basis of need. Abolition of the rur-
al service charge would result in
a possible loss of revenue to 'the
commission of $1,27,000, but increas-
ed use of power would offset that,
it was explained.

CHAPTER XXIII
SYNOPSIS
Dave Bruce, out of a job, arrives
at Wilbur Ferris' Cross -Bar ranch.
Curran, the foreman, promises him
a job if he can break a horse called
Black Dawn. When he succeeds, he
discovers Curran expected the
horse to kill him. A girl named
Lois rides up, angry .with .Dave
for breaking "her" horse. She
refuses to speak to him even when
he uses his savings to pay off the
mortgage on the sma l ranch she
shares with her foster father, a
man named Hooker. But when
Hooker is shot and Dave is charged
with murder, Lois saves him from
being lynched. Wounded she guides
him to a mountain cave where she
thinks they will be safe from Cur-
ran and the sheriff's posse. A
quarrel between Ferris and Judge
Lonergan reveals 'that Ferris had
killed his partnr.i, Blane Rowland,
many years before. Thoroughly

the. pen. Curran, who was stand-
ing beside Ferris, interposed,
"You was speakin' of killin'
- judge," he said, "and that sure hurt
my feelings and lIr. Ferris.. Be-
sides' which, there was a little mis-
understandin'. We got the funeral
staged all right, but we ain't got
the right corpse,"
Lonergan turned around. "just
what do you mean by -that?" he
demanded.
"Xou:" shouted Curran—not at
Lonergan but at the raneltman.
With a bound he was upon Fer-
ris,, and had twisted the revolver
out' of his hand. At the same in-
stant Lon ergan's hand appeared
from the flap of the saddle, holding
another gun in it.
In the brief interval before the
shots that followed, Ferris saw the
trap, and understood that he had
foreseen Curran's treachery quite
well, in the depths of his subcon-
sciousness. He screamed twice as
the two heavy slugs from the guns
of Lonergan and Curran ploughed
"Lois:" His voice went mut In a cry 'of fury.
scared, Ferris takes Curran into his
confidence. When Dave is away
from the cave, Curran kidnaps Lois.
Meanwhile Dave discovers a human
skeleton with a bullet hole through
the skull: When he later finds
Lois gone, he heads straight for
Hooker's ranch and there finds
Sheriff Coggswell. He convinces
Coggswell of his innocence and
together they start for the cabin
where they have learned Lois is
being held prisoner and where un-
known to them, Ferris and Curran
are plannig to kill Judge Lonergan.
Lonergan sat down with a, scowl.
"I've got no time to waste, 'Ferris,"
he said in his most judicial man-
ner.. "I consented to come here
and talk with you, because. Curran
told me you had something here to
show me. .Well, where is it, and
what's the point of it all?"
Curran winked at Ferris as he
stood behind Lonergan's back. Lon-
ergan went on: .
"I understand you're willing to
accept my offer.. But what is it
that you've got to show me here?"
"]Iere's what I got :o show yuh,
Lonergan!" shoutet< the ranchman,
suddenly drawing a revolver from
his armpit. "Desperate? Yeah, and
you miscalculated, because you
trusted the wrong party when you
let Curran bring you here. You've
hounded me too long, Lonergan. I
warned you the other day in Mes-
cal.. Now you're going to sign an
agreement making over to me ail
yore claims on the Cross -Bar, or
I'll kill you!"
* * *
Lonergan had sprung to his feet.
But Curran was at his side, cover-
ing him too. The foreman stepped
forward and drew a revolver from
Longergan's po:.icet.
"That's right, Lonergan," grinned
Curran. "You slipped up some when
yuh come here. Now set down and
sign the paper on this table. Yuh
don't need to read it. All yuh got to
do is to affix yore signature. Mr.
Ferris and me will do the rest."
"And suppose I do sign," said
Lonergan, apparently weakening,
"how do I know you're not plan-
ning to kill me afterward?"
"Kil yuh, Mr. Lonergan?" jeered
Curran. "Why, we ain't murder-
ers, and you.. and Ferris has got
too much on each other to make it
seemly for to kill yuh. He's just
aimin' to git back what yuh took
from him by the processes of fraud.
Nobody wc)n't interfere with yuh
arter we got yore name signed.
Yuh can ride straight house."
With a shrug of his shoulders
Lonergan gave M. "My pen's in
my saddle -flap with some papers,"
he announced.
"That's all right, dblr. Lonergan,"
said Curran, ."Mr. Ferris and Ire
will just accompany yuh outside
and help yuh find it. Keep him
covered, Ferris, I guess. he's full
of tricks."

the cabin to where his I,iorse :ens

Flak Suits Given
Airmen In Pacific
The flak suit has arrived in the
South Pacific airfields and while it
is an uncomfortable item of haber-
dashery the boys are glad to have
it.
It is a sleeveless shoulders -to -
hips packet cent ining sheets of
armor plate `abricated into soft,
spongy material which itself has
some shock -absorption qualities.
Bomber crews wear them only
over a target where the ack-ack is
heavy and as soon as they are out
of range they remove them. The
garments weigh around 40 pounds.
A navigator in a B-25, says he
knows of only one instance in which
a man was saved by a flak suit --
"but one was enough to convince,
me they're worth wearing."
