Nate has returned wealthy, after nine vears' absence. Lorry, whose father has just died, has an cumbered cattle ranch on her hands. Nate promises financial aid. He and Owen K shaw. Lorry’s brother, had become buddies in the World War, Owen later being killed: romiséd Owen that he would Forlorn Valley, a settie- .

But Babson, through condemnation proceedings. hopes to secure lands, owned by Lorry and_Ni gation and power purposes. ho plans extensive improvements on_his ranch. finds that he is falling in love with Lorry. S had many busy days before him. He drove over to Gold Run first to interrogate the county recorder, from whom he ascertained that a deed to a quarter-section in Eden Valley from Nate Tichenor to the Mountain Valley Power Co. and another deed for 4,000 acres, from Lorraine Kershaw to the same company, has just been sent over by the First National Bank to be re- corded. Well, he had been thwarted by this interloping power corporation, just as he had feared would be the case. Well, no matter. The Mountain Valley Power Co. could not thwart him in his plan to secure from the Department of the Interior permission to erect a di- version dam in the Handle and dig a canal from Eden Valley Creek down beyond the western buttress of For- lorn Valley. They might have influence, but not with the Representative and Senator whose constituency included Forlorn Valley. ‘Well, his first step was to create public interest in the proposed firrigas tion district—not at all a difficult task, since the Valley Center Register was the only newspaper in the valley, and its editor, Joe Brainerd, had financed his venture largely on money borrowed from the Bank of Valley Center. Brainerd would see his duty and do it nobly. He must attack the power com- pany and pay the community's respects, in no_uncertain terms, to those two Eden Valley outlaws who had betrayed them, or at least sought to betray them. Suddenly, as he drove home across Forlorn Valley, a thought occurred to him with such force that he jammed on his brakes and stopped in the mid- dle of the highway so suddenly that a car coming behind him smote his car in the rear and skidded it off the right- of-way into a ditch. Babson eme: from the wreckage unharmed, frightened and exceedingly angry, 2,“‘“ in time to come face to face with a young man emerging from a limousine driven by a lweried chauffeur. “What's the matter with you?” he cried furjously. “Can’t you stay on your own side of the road?” “I'll answer your question with an- other, sir. Why did you stop so sud- denly, without giving the legal warn- ing by thrusting your hand out? My chauffeur is not a mind-reader.” “You've wrecked my car, damn you, and you'll pay for it.” “I'm not wishful to argue that point.” The young man's tones were crisp and unafraid, “I got out solely to see what damage has been done to my car. Very little, I observe. Bumper thrust back on the frame and twisted a little, that's all” Then to the chauffeur: “We'll stop in at a garage in Valley Center and have it repaired. Lucky you had most of the speed off the car or we'd have knocked this peculiar person over into that alfalfa field.” “This peculiar person wants your name and your license number,” Bab- son shrilled. 3 “I'll give you my card, sir; help your- self to the nse number.

Old Rance’s estate is in a/| bad way and Miss Kershaw was feeling & bit downhearted.” “Well, she’s light-hearted today.” Babson was pleased that his host had opened this subject of conversation and little dreamed that Tichenor had pur- posely done so. “She’s sold four thou- sand acres of worthless land her father gave her to the Mountain Valley Power Company. Must have got at least three hundred thousand dollars for it. Cleaned up the mortgage and paid old Rance’s notes.” He glanced slyly at Tichener. “Unless you close in on he‘r I reckon she’ll work out of the hole she's in.” “I thipk so, too.

The corporation plans to erect a dam, fm- pound the flood waters of Eden Valley Creek after they have passed over the Circle K and the Bar H ranches and use the water for the production of power.” Babson now remembered the dazzling thought that had operated to wreck his automobile. “You may have noticed the Jarge number of gasoline-driven pump- ing plants, Nate.” “I did, and guessed the reason. The water tables are receding and the lift pose the farmers are trying out & cheap- er method of pumping, although since gas-line is not cheaper than electricity, I surmise the gasoline farmers must have had their power cut off because they didn’t or couldn't pay their bills to the power company.” “You've fone straight to the milk in the coconut, Nate. I wonder if it wouldn't be a-good idea for the farmers of Forlorn Valley to organize an irriga- tion district and make a contract with the Mountain Valley Power Company to sell it “water for surface irrigation?” “A good idea for the farmers but & bad idea for the company. Of course, in years of unusually heavy freshet it might be glad to divert its excess water to Forlorn Valley, but in subnormal years, such as we have been experiencing the past thrce Winters, the demands of ey might lower the water in the reservoir to a point below the power company's ditch and operate to close down its power plant.” Oou_seem pretty sure of your PNRRREN Go inside of this home any time Sunday and be pleas- antly surprised with its room drrangement and the finish of the walls, Masonry constructed, slate roof, 5 bed rooms, 3 baths, recreation room in basement, large electric refrigerator and ofl burner.
