Uncle Sam, farmer has been making experiments
in home-brewed electricity. He knew that the wind
blew more or less steadily in large parts of the
Great Plains region, and it irked him to see it 60
free. He knew, also, that the wind, if it entered
the farmhouse too gustily often blew the kero-
sene lamps.
So Uncle Sam reasoned from effect to cause and
decided that the moribund windmill could be re-
vived; or, in regions where this machine had much
water to pump, another wind motor could be set up
which would charge storage batteries and provide
enough current to electrify the farm.
The department of agriculture has been conduct.
ing experiments with wind velocity and power, and
has found that minimum of ten miles an hour is
necessary in order to charge the batteries. But this
wind need not continue at that rate steadily, for
about five hours charging every two three days
u.s. as a rule, all that is required.
In experiments made in parts of Nebraska it was
found that periods of three or more days when the
wind less than ten miles an hour were rare.
They came usually toward the end of summer. For
tunatey, during the winter months when lights are
most needed, the air currents most trustworthy

it's way through the crowded streets.
Looking over her shoulder at them

assuring smile, Faith saw that
Junior had his arm about his fathers
shoulders, and that one Of his strong
young hands was tightly clamped
over the trembling old mans enaried
fist. The sight Of these two-father
and son--brought together in despair
and sorrow, frightened Faiths throat
with tears, but there was a little
throb Of gladness in her heart. The
twenty one-year-old "shcik," rather
notorious for his wildness, had sud-

'I'm sure you understand, Miss
Faith" Stephen Churchill spoke in a
low, gentle voice to the girl who was
watching with staring, tragic eyes her
little sister being led away by deputy
sheriffs, that bail is not permitted
in this state where the Indictment
charges first degree murder. She's
bearing up remarkably, Miss Faith.
A wonderful little girl, a remarkable
girl"
THANK YOU" Faith did not look
at hih, until the door had closed
upon Cherry. Then she turned her
beautiful, dark eyes imploringly
upon him. "You do believe in her,
don't you. Mr.. Churchill?" Her
voice was so low that not even Bob
just behind her could hear the words.
Churchill nodded his great, griz-
zled head emphatically, too en-
phatically, Faith thought miserably.
His voice doomed out so that re-
porters could hear him distinctly.
LAS innocent as she is beautiful,
Miss Faith. wish all of my cases
were as easy as this one"
He doesn't really believe she's

ingly, but, Knowing that alien,
curious eyes were upon her, she
managed to smile brilliantly. Thank
you, Mr.. Churchill. May l see you

"I'll be glad to see you and your

time she had referred to Bob in Just
that way, and she was rewarded by a
quick pressure Of Bob's fingers upon
her arm.

answered cheerfully. "l'm going to

there?"
