Hydro May Build More Rural Lines Throe hu.'idred miles 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 Qiairman George Challies (P.C, Grenville-Dundas) informed the Legislature recently. Mr. Challies said the commis- sion has accepted -l.OOO 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 miles of rural Hy- dro line were constructed,'' said Mr. Challies. "We are asking the Dominion authorities to let us con- struct 300 miles 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, Mr. Challies said the 300-mile 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 $527,000, but increas- ed use of power would offset that, It was explained.

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 mortsage en the smail 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 partnci, 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 Mr. 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. "Youl" shouted Curran â€" not at Lonergan but at the ranclmian. With a bound he was upon Fer- ris, and had twisted the levolver out of his hand. At the same in- stant Lonergan'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 out 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 witli a scowl. "I've got no time to waste, Ferris," he said in his most judicial man- ner.. "I consented to come here •nd talk with you, because Curran told me you had something here to show me. .Well, where is it, and what's the point ot it all?" Curran winked at Ferris as he atood behind Lonergan's back. Lon- ergan went on: "I understand you're willing to accept my oflei.. But what is it that you've got to show me here?" "Here's what I got o show yuh, Lonergan!'' shouteo the ranchman, luddeuly 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 houndc'I 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 all yore claims on the Cross- Bar, or I'll kill youl" * * * Lonergan had sprung to his feet. But Curran .as at his side, cover- ing him too. The foreman stepped forward and drew a revolver from Longergan's 'potket. "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. .Ml yuh got to do is to .iffix 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 won't interfere with yuh alter we got yore name signed. Yuh can ride straight home." With a shrug of his shoulders Lonergan gave in. ".My pen's in my saddle-flap with some papers," he announced. "That's all right. Mr. Lonergan," said Curran. ."Mr. Ferris and me will just accompany yuh outside and help yuh find it. Keep him covered, Ferris. I guess he's uill «f tricks." • * • Loncrsan moved slowly out of the cabin to where his horse was standing, a litdc beyond tho others, the rein-, tlirown over the slump of a tree. He lilted the flap of his sad- dle and affcctc<l to be loiikir.jj for their way through the upper part of his body, reeled, and dropped like a log down the slope into the ravine. « « • Curran fired a second shot as Ferris'<y>edy was in the act of fsVijn' Slid turned to his companion wij5 a grin. *H\'elI- there-s one hombre won't INVASION BLOCKADE?

There were moments when I wasn't sure you were not double-crossiny me." "Double-crossin' yuh, Mr. Loner- gan? Why, I thought yuh had more confidence in me than that," replied the foreman.
