Lorry saw them as he struggled into his coat. “Well, who are you out to kill today, Rube?” she queried jocularly. “Nobody, I hope, but somebody it I have to. You heeled, Miss Lorry?” “Certainly not. Why should I be?” “You're goin’ down to that mass mee‘t{ln‘ in Valley Center, ain't you?” Yes» “So’s Nate Tichenor. I listened io some talk while I was in town the other day an’ it seems folks got an idea Nate ' to try to keep from Mountain Valley Power CJ., of which this same Tichenor is also sole owner, and Miss Lorraine Kershaw, sole heir to the Circle K ranch. They have conspired to deprive us of those waste waters for their own selfish ends. Nate Tichenor informs me that his company plans to erect a power station below his proposed dam and manu- facture hydroelectric power. I say, here and now, to Nate Tichenor that I think he lies. He purposes erecting that dam for the purpose of impounding the flood waters and selling them to Forlorn Valley at an exorbitant rate. “I have here a petition to the County Board of Supervisors requesting per- mission to_organize the Forlorn Valley Irrigation District. It is necessary that every farmer in the valley whose lands are ‘susceptible to inclusion within the was roaring, striking out left and right with his guns and clearing a path for and Lorry, who, with drawn stantly she fired, the bullet taking o e ind. of the shot d sound of shot the crows scattered like quall.

I'm sorter cautious; I like to have a few capable friends in a crowd that ain't friendly to me.” Lorry got out of the car, entered the house, strapped a six-shooter, with a full belt of cartridges, around her waist, slipped on a light coat to conceal her armament and got behind the wheel again. Rube Tenney slipped in be- side her and they rolled away for Val- ley Center. A crowd of perhaps 500 persons oc- cupled the temporary board benches Babson had provided in the plaza, and Babson was on a raised platform just opening the meeting when Rube and Lorry arrived. He was a good speaker, clear and incisive, and had a trick of uttering those catch phrases which aroused the unthinking. Babson proceeded to out- line the method of organizing an irri- gation district, reminded his listeners that there was but one source of sup- ply—to wit, the waters of Eden Valley Creek, down which hundreds of thou- sands of acre-feet of water went to waste annually, as well they knew. “Henry, this fellow Nate Tichenor is | More applause.

Nate Tichenor walked quietly upon the platform, bowed to Babson and then to the crowd. “I am that Nate Tichenor of whom you have just heard,” he began. “Throw him out!” harshly. A dead cat sailed over the heads of the crowd and struck him in the face. Overripe tomatoes and cantaloupes fol- lowed in a veritable barrage, and, as with one voice, the crowd shouted “Throw the outlaw out. . . . Does he Kill him! Lynch him!

They have commended its brilliant per- formance. They have approved its distinc- tive style. But even above these factors they have expressed enthusiasm for the remarkable ease of control which makes Oldsmobile so unusually pleasing to drive. And it is a natural enthusiasm. Oldsmo- bile's Syncro-Mesh silent-shift transmission permits rapid shifting through all gears. .. from low into second, from second to high, and from high back to second —with aston- ishing ease and in abeolute silence.

For when- ever you want fast acceleration or the extra protection of braking power from the en- gine, you can shift from high back to second instantly, and without reducing car speed. Finally, and contributing still further to the desirability of this transmission, is Olds- mobile’s Quiet Second Gear . . . assuring smooth, swift acceleration which rivals high gear performance in quietness.
