In order to consolidate his position, therefore. he had already had the Mountain Valley Power company enter into negotiations for a contract with the P. 0. & I.., wherein- that company was to purchase all the power Tichenor's company could deliver. While this contract did not restrain his company from selling water for irrigation, and Tichenor had hoped to sell water for that purpose, he dared not consider the imposition until quite certain ho could do so without th rent to his production of power. Instinctively cautious, lie declined to commit himself even to a half-wapromise to Rabson. He had discerned that his refusal to enter into negotiations had shocked Rabson, hut he had no idea as to the extent of the shook. Other than the knowledge that Rah sod had organized a raid to ruin Lorry Kershaw, Tichenor had no cause to dislike the man, Indeed, the knowledge that he, Tichenor. had always been In position to frustrate that raid, had operated to dull the edge of his resent- of eden By peter XV N t' kyne Servlc. by Copyright, Peler B Kyn- - today." antd that bis host had of conversation had ooie drt.inied that Tichenor ", W Shes sold four fLn(j acres of worthless land herto the Mountain Valher gave her ' at Must hav 2, Fuwer o.n.;-- ydollars thousand Imndre.l t three Cleaned ii rhe mortgage and it He glanced l!id old nance's notes.

He knew the world was quite filled with Silas Babsons; Indeed, during his busy years In New York he had met more than one of them, had crossed financial swords with them, had defeated them and been defeated by them. Such men were all in the days work for him. end such irritation ns he had felt against Ealison was solely out of sympathy for Lorry Kershaw. If the Impending disaster appeared to affect Rabson only, he would have dismissed all thought of him. Certainly he would not have wasted any sympathy on him. Rut, without water, eventually hundreds of people In Forlorn Valley would be reduced to poverty. And with the collapse of the Rank of Valley Center, the absolute ruin of the valley would be hastened and completed. Nate Tichenor, ostracized as he had been by the people of Forlorn Valley in his boyhood ostracized as all of Ids people had been had, not unnaturally, acquired a fierce resentment against these people who looked to him for succor.
