CHAPTER VII.
THE CEDAR.

The trunk of what had once been q
majestic cedar rose straight and smooth
to a height of about forty feet. It's base
was all of twelve feet in diameter, and
from the trail where ] first saw it, it APP
peared sound and vigorous. Upon NOV
ing around toward the south side, there
lay in full view the top, whose scared and
half burned branches We're stretched sky
ward, like the mighty arms of a stricken
giant. In the side of the trunk was a
charred opening, considerably larger than
a big doorway, entering which and look
ing up, the sky was visible from out the
top: Under foot was a springy floor of
debris composed principally of half burn
ed twigs and spears which apparently had
been blown in by the winds. Standing
room there was for at least d half score Of
people; and that visitors had been there
was plain to be seen from the spots scrap
ed bare to the solid wood, wherein were
some few names and initials. Some
inexplicible attraction held me much
longer than had been my intention to re
main. and as | gazed on the young shoots
and slim saplings, my surnise was that it
could not have been many years since the
fire had occurred which prostrated the
once noble tree. Nor was It surprising
that after having passed a wakeful night
in company with a delirious coInrade, my
mind should be susceptible of odd faneies.

Mae had partly recovered lis wontea
health and strength and some Of his habit

abstain from al into2icants, and we were
seated as in times gone, IN the cabin en-
gagged in pleasant conversation. He had
more than once reverted to. his delirium,
and to his questions afAhat he had said.
and done, my replies had been Of a gener-
al character. This evening he appeared
more than usually DESTROYS Of having it in
detail and requested me 10 tell him "word
for word, Bill" so | told him. Although
no expression of either countenance or
~languaged betrayed any surprise on his
part. vet he seemed Ill at ease and after d
thoughtful silence of a minute or SO, said:
"I'va got a pretty good sized account for a
woodchopper, down in the Merchants at
s., but as for having piles Of money,
or loads of it, or any hidden anywhere,
Bill, that's all nonsense. AS | have told
you before, if you want money any time

call on me and you shall have it." "Of
course was my rejoinaer, sthe piles OF
money and the loads Of it hidden away
were only counterpart with yonr yagaries
about the fends." Ny reply apparently
suited him, for after giving q sigh which
sounded like one of relief, he proceeded
to some other subject, upon which he was
doing all the talking. My thoughts were
elsewhere, though not many miles away.
During a pause I said, "When did that
big cedar burn down." Whether it was
the ahruptness and ~irrlevancy Of my ques-
ton that made him stare OF not, certain it
was. he did stare at me. (which cedar?"
he at length inquired. "The big hollow
one on the trail up to Chase's house" "Oh,
that one, it was burned about six months
before / came here was his answer. The
subject now ever present in my mind, and
the one upon which it had been my inten-
ton to remain silent had inyol.n.arily

that there was any relation between the

within arms length of the man who was
providing me with comfortable and pleas

body so softly reclined. "Was dement,

'4plenty of money, loads of it, more than
anyone dreams Of" and his whispered
s.safe, hidden where they'd never dream of
looking for it." came back to my recoIlec-
ton, the idea that this very spot might con
tain concealed wealth, grew so upon my
mind that / stamped heavily and then
jumped hard upon the yielding twigs and
fancied that it produced a hollow sound.
To divest myself of this impression seem
ed next to impossible and so occupied was
my brain with it, that when Chase's house
was reached, my wandering senses almost
refused to recall the object of my visit.
Chase's handsome daughter must have
thought me either the most bashful, STAN
mering young man she ever met, or the
stupidest blockhead it had ever been her
misfortune to be confronted with. AS far
as my memory serves me, my answer to
her inquiry after Mr.. McCleod's condition,
was, pretty well, thank YOU" which i'll
agreed with my after explanation of his
prostration and nervousness. After awak-
ing 50 far as to discover that my hat was
still firmly jammed down on my head, |
managed to offer a poorly worded excuse,
and take it off. With a desperate effort,
my errand was told, upon which Miss
Chase. no doubt glad Of an excuse to es-
cape, went in search Of the required arti-
Gle. During her absence, which was a
rather prolonged one, ] had ample time to
reflect upon my stupid behavior and deter
mined to retrieve myself in her estimation.
Whether or not my determination succeed
ed that morning, | shall never be able to
tell, but one thing my recollection is sure
hand a half bottle of choral hydrate /
bowed myself out and heard her distinctly
say, You will come again, we shall be
glad indeed to have you visit u.s."
Her words of kind invitation were, how
ever, for the time being quickly forgotten.
Some unseen, u~nrecognized influence was
e~xerting a spell upon me. The cedar was
in all my thoughts. nor could | when it
was reached again OF my homeward way
pass by without once more examining it.
A broken shovel lay further on partly i'm
mersed in the stream, which hastily pro-
cured was in my hands turning over the
dry debris, when footsteps became audi
bic on the trail. Unwilling to be discov-
cred and at a loss for any explanation with
which to defend my act | stood silent and
concealed till the sounds had ceased and
then peering out saw that it was Chase on
his way home from the mill. Kicking
back into place the disturbed rubbish |
stole out and down the trail, taking with
me the shovel which was carefully hidden
for future use. Ny resolve was formed
At night when no enc was astir / would
make q Thorough investigation of the spot
and SET at rest my consuming suspicion.
Chase in his kind thoagAsfgllness had fore
stalled me il The matter Of ministering to
Macs recovery, for he had brought With
him sone Of the @ery same stuff which
his daughter had given to me-. An empty
