the reply. "You name the amount, and we shall put it
in the will. You see," he added, as if it were an afterthought, "the
falls will be good for that, and perhaps more, even after you have
arranged for the others."

"I am pleased to hear you express such confidence in the undertaking,"
and David looked into his companion's face. "I little realised that it
would pay so well in such a short time. I am very grateful to you for
what you have done."

"It will pay you regularly," Mr. Westcote replied. "I may as well tell
you that this is one of the most remarkable companies ever formed.
Will you now mention the names of the principal ones to whom you wish
to leave the rest of your interest?"

"There are only two, but I have such unlimited confidence in them that
I feel I am making no mistake. You know them both for they are Jasper
Randall, the young foreman, and Miss Lois Sinclair."

"Have you no relatives?" Mr. Westcote asked, concealing his surprise as

"Just as you say," Mr. Westcote assented, as he rose to his feet. "I
shall have the papers drawn up at once. In the meantime, you had
better come and stay with me. You will need a good rest after your
trip."

It was late in the afternoon the next day before the work upon the will
was completed. It was quite an elaborate affair, so David thought, and
he had to study it carefully before signing it. When at last all was
finished, the car was waiting before the office to carry them back to
Creekdale.

"I am going with you," Mr. Westcote remarked as he took his seat by
David's side. "I want to see that you get safely home. And besides,"
he added, "I wish to learn how the work is getting along up there. I
have just been telephoning to Mr. Randall, and his report is most
encouraging."

CHAPTER XXI

HARNESSED POWER

It was dark by the time they drew near to Creekdale, and as the car
rounded a bend in the road David was astonished at the sight which met
his eyes. The entire way was brilliantly illuminated by hundreds of
electric lights strung along both sides of the road.

David started, sat bolt upright, and clutched his companion by the arm.

"What is this?" he demanded in a hoarse whisper. "Where are we,
an
