He looked down at her, then
with long, thin finger raised
her face toward his. "You
love him, little Nora" A note
almost of dismay had crept
into the mans voice.
With wide, frank eyes she re-
turned that searching scrutiny.
II think have always loved
him." The words, clear and
fearless, carried an exultant
quality that in some strange
way made the mans own heart
beat faster. Her fearless, love-
filled eyes held him for a time
irresolute, as if weighing in
her mind the wisdom of saying
more, then with bent head and
slow pace he passed down that
tamarisk shaded path while
silently, wonderingly, she
walked beside him. At last he
turned.
FOrebOding
"I wonder if any man is
worthy of a love like that? I
wonder" he repeated, and after
a moment added, Remember,
little Nora, that love is blind,
defenselesS thing, bringing un-
happiness more often than it
brings ecstasy, and I would do
much to keep unhappiness ever
from touching you" He
stopped, hesitated, then went
on. II should not want to trust
your happiness to Dick, even
though he is my own son.
There is something in the blood
Of us Lowells, Nora girl, for
bidding us to rest or be content
or bring happiness to any
woman-long."
The shadow of a low lying
cloud fell across the hillside,
obliterating the dark outlines
OF the tamarisk, touching those
two silent figures, chilling, as
with an unexpresSed foreboding,
the light that glowed in the
girls upturned eyes.
Still avoiding her troubled,
questioning gaze, Lowell leaned
forward and touched his
straight lips to her forehead.
"1'll walk back alone" he
said, and turned down the long,
winding path.
CHAPTER 10
1t was six days later that
Will Barnes looked up in mild
surprise from the porch of his
ranch house to see a tattered,
bedraggled figure ride slowly
out of the desert and tie a
rickety, time-worn horse to the
corral fence. No derelict sheep
herder ever wore a shabbier ar
ray of rags and cast-off gar.
ments than this bent, sombre-
roed figure who, head-down and
with Shuffling gait, trudged
slowly toward the hacienda.
Half way up the steps he stopped
as if exhausted, extended a dirty
paw toward Barnes and whined,
IN the singSong Spanish of the
Mexican peon, "Tengo hambre,
Senor, mucha hambre."
Smiling in spite of himself,
Barnes laid down his paper,
Hungry, eh? Hombre. you make
me hungry just looking at you"
His eyes passed again to the
wreck Of a horse that now
leaned out of sheer WEAKNESS
against the corral. Follow me
around back and We'll see what
the cooks got"
But as Barnes started forward
the half bent figure straight
ened, rose to it's full height, and
a dirty, sun-tanned face grinned
openly beneath the sombrero.
well, make it snappy, old
SON." The voice, too, had mirac-
ulously changed. Personally, I
could eat a raw dog"
"Dick!" Barnes look of blank
amazement turned to smile of
quick delight. He gripped
LoWell'S hand. Thank God
you're back" Then again his
eyes fell to the rags and tattered
Sombrero and he laughed out.

MARYLAND FARMERS VOTE ON
CORN-HOG PROGRAM

Results of a referendum to deter
mine the attitude of Maryland grow
ers toward an adjustment program
for corn and hogs in 1885 showed a
large majority in favor of such a
program, according to DR.. I. B. Sy-
mons. director of the extension SER
vice. who made the report for this
State to officials of the Adjustment
Administration.
Farmers who signed contracts TO
adjust their production of corn and
hogs this year were given an oppor-
tunity to vote on two questions.
The number of farmers voting in this
State was 943. On the question OF
whether they favored an adjustment
program dealing with corn and hogs
in 1895, the number voting in the af-
firmatiye' was S31 and the negative
vote was 1902.
The second question was whether
they favored a one-contract-per-farm
program dealing with grains and
livestock, to become effective in
1886. On this question 52S voted in
the affirmative and PIG negatively.
The same two questions were sub
mitted to contract signers in all corn
and hog growing sections of the
country. Results for the country as
a whole, as announced by officials Of
the Adjustment Administration,
show 345,33O farmers who signed
contracts this year are in favor OF
similar program next year, while
153,1S1 farmers opposed continuing
the adjustment.
Preliminary results of the referen-
dunn vote on the question. of one
contract-per-farm adjustment pro-
gram in 1886 showed 227,789 sign
ers in favor and 1SS,OOS opposed.
Non-signers of contracts this year
voted against both proposals in larg-
er numbers than those who were
signers.
1t has been stated by Adjustment
officials that a program will be work
ed out for next year and that it is
hoped to have the 1885 plan ready
for announcement about November l..

PENNA. PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSION ORDERS RATE CUTS


The Public Service Commission of
Pennsylvania has ordered fifty utlli-
| ty companies in that State to reduce
their rates or submit conclusive evil
dence why rates should not be re-
duced."
The order was sent to telephone,
electric, water, gas and steam heat
companies.
SlmlI..r notices will be sent to all
other utilities Just as rapidly as the
Commission completes it's studies of
their rates and incomes.
The companies have until Novem-
Der Is IL reply to the commission
order.
The commission order directed
each company forthwith to make an
appropriate reduction in it's rates or
advise the commission on or before
November Is, 1894. why it's rates
should not be reduced so that its net
income will conform to the six per
cent considered as fair and reason
able"
The reductions in utility rates, eff
fected by the commissio nentirely by
informal conferences, have aggregat-
ed $685. 900 since January 1, 1881,
shortly after which time the present
State administration began.
These conferences resulted in
consumers receiving the benefit of
immediate reductions in rates." the
commission said, in commenting on
its latest action. 1.-The expense and
delay OF long drawn out hearings and
the litigation usually encountered
under formal procedure were
avoided"
