Mr. Challies said the commission has accepted 4,000 farm contracts and 2,000 urban contracts for electrical services, the largest volume in the history of the Province for a like period. "Last year 44 miles of rural Hydro line were constructed," said Mr. Challies. "We are asking the Dominion authorities to let us construct 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 question, Mr. Challies said the 300-mile program would be divided among all parts of the Province on the basis of need. Abolition of the rural service charge would result in a possible loss of revenue to the commission of $527,000, but increased use of power would offset that, it was explained. Stubborn Dutch When the captain of a Netherlands coastal vessel now operating in a British port received a remark about the extremely soiled flag he was flying, he replied: "With this flag I left the Netherlands during the invasion. I will not take it down till Holland is free again. Then my wife can launder it as she always did." -- The Netherlands Government Information Bureau, Montreal. DAWN 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 small 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 Curran and the sheriff's posse. A quarrel between Ferris and Judge Lonergan reveals that Ferris had killed his partnti, Blane Rowland, many years before. Thoroughly the pen. Curran, who was standing beside Ferris, interposed. "You was speakin' of killin' judge," he said, "and that sure hurt my feelings and Mr. Ferris.. Besides 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. "You!" shouted Curran--not at Lonergan bjit at the ranchman. With a bound he was upon Ferris, and had twisted the revolver out of. his hand. At the same instant 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 subconsciousness.

There were moments when I wasn't sure you were not double-crossing "Double-crossin' yuh, Mr. Lonergan? Why, I thought yuh had more confidence in me than that," replied the foreman. "I made that play so as that girl inside wouldn't know just what was happenin'. Ferris had to go. He was gittin' too wise. It sure was hard to keep from laughin', him thinkin' it was you who was goin' to be bumped off instead of himself. What's that?"

Curran winked at Ferris as he stood behind Lonergan's back. Lon- "I understand you're willing to accept my offei.. But what is it that you've got to show me here?" "Here's what I got o show yuh, Lonergan!" shouteo the ranchman, sudden^- 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 bounded me too long, Lonergan. I warned you the other day in Mescal. Now you're going to sign an agreement making over to me all yore claims on the Cross-Bar, or I'll kill you!" Lonergan had sprung to his feet. But Curran was at his side, covering him too. The foreman stepped forward and drew a revolver from Longergan's pocket. "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 planning to kill me afterward?" "Kil yuh, Mr. Lonergan?" jeered Curran. "Why, we ain't murderers, 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 arter 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," "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 full of tricks." Lonergan moved slowly out of the cabin to where his horse was standing, a little beyond th.- others, a tree. He lifted the flap, of his 'saddle ami affected to be looking for UUtbtL STANDS FOR CANADIAN UNITY Quebec, cradle of the Canadian people, believes in and works for greater Canadian unity.
