buy the Mizzy falls and'swanp above, build low dam where the falls were, and flood large area for trout and pleasure purposes.
 There was also another consider ation.
 Those falls, the keynote to any manufacturing opportunities or future growth of Greenvale, were valuable power that might become more so, and as, a purely business investment, it seemed wise one to Martin. For few days he thought about it, and the more he thought, the more tempt ing in many ways the investment seemed.
 "Cy," he said, when they were by themselves, how much of the Mizzy what do you imagine he would ask for the falls and the land above them?"
 Old Cy looked at him in astonish- ment. T know every rod he owns above 'em," he answered finally, "but ye couldn't buy one thout payin' ten times what it's wuth, n then deed on t ain't no good 'thout Amzi's signin'."
 "Oh, expect that" answered Mar tin, indifferently, "and as far as Amzi's signature-why, he'll never come back It must be twenty years since he disappeared" "I'm not so sure O that" responded old Cy, resolutely; five allus held he was still alive, n believe it yit. Ez fer Dave's settin' price on the Mizzy falls n his land, he's been lingering with some out O town already. I I heerd him."
 You heard him!" "I did, fer sartin. I was up the Mizzy one day last spring, huntin' | fer mink trap that had got dragged off, m I heard some one comin' l through the brush m laid low. l '2AVtzs Dave n city man, n Dave wag showin' him round and tellin'
 him how handy twas to float logs down the Mizzy in spring freshets, n about how much he owned. They sot

 hour, n beerd 1t all. The city man had a scheme to build mill n grind

 didn't make a dicker, fer Dave sot

CHAPTER XVII. OLD CY' WALKER.

From the orthodox standpoint of Greenvale, old Cy was a Sabbath breaker, an unregenerate old scoffer, outcast, vagabond, and one best to avoid From the boys point of view Le was most delightful old comrade, whose knowledge of woodcraft was ence was the only right and proper one, and whose companionship was to be sought at all times
 Hc knew where all the best trout pools were, how to line up and find the bee trees, set snares and traps; where nuts, berries, and wild grapes could be found; and more than all this, he was ready at all times to share this lore with them. He was to them a veritable Leatherstocking outlined on a background of forest, field, and stream, and his shapeless hat. patched raiment, kindly face, and quaint speech were familiar to all With dog and gun always, and some of the village boys occasionally for companions, he roamed the woods and followed the streams about Greenvale, or worked for Aunt Com fort when needed He lived in a hovel on her premises, was temperate, honest, and friend to everybody ex- oept David Curtis There was ample reason for that exception. Tn tho long ago, old Cy, schoolmate, friend, and companion of Amzi Curtis, and later working for him in the mill, had aspired to own a respectable dwell- Ing. He bought a small tract of land on the village outskirts, contracted with David Curtis for lumber, and when the house was built, gave him a mortgage to secure payment. That was almost accomplished when Amzi so mysteriously vanished. But lack of employment and illness fell to Cy's lot; he failed to pay as agreed; then David forecloscd, and after that old Cy became vagabond, as 1t were.
 Martin had been one of hiss boy admirers, and now since his return had induced the old man to take him fishing, and later to superintend the building of his dam and the clearing of land for trout preserve. It was while thus engaged that a new thought came to Manufacturing less than to
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-27

Ideas Of business were as primitive as his method of living.
 II ain't said word to nobody" ]" added the old man, with true hunters instinct, "'n' I wish you wouldn't yet awhile, 'n' don't be thinkin' O buying land O Dave Curtis n gettin' robbed. He'll croak fore many years n then ye kin get it fer what it's wuth; sides, Amzi might show up any day"
 What reason have you for beiiev- ing Amzi still alive?" inquired Martin, a little touched by the blind faith of old Cy. 'No one else here shares your belief, so Dr. Sol says"
 Wal" answered the old man, slow ly, tits a curis notion O mine, but him n me wus just like two brothers, n used to fish m hunt together, m spend hours in the woods talkin' bout all sorts O things. He had queer ideas about some matters, m one wus that all kinds of animals had souls, same ez we hev. They all live over again. he used to say, only they keep on

CHAPTER XVIII.
DIAMOND cur DIAMOND.

In Martins long hours of trying to solve the problem, now so suddenly confronting him, one danger seemed Fmminent-that David Curtis might sell out to this, stranger before 1t could be proved that his brother still lived. Land could be attached; but money, once in the hands of a man like David, was not easily reached by law. What Martin decided to do, cost what it might, was not to buy the Mizsy power and land, but keep David from selling it until the existence of Amzi could be proved. There was but one way to do it--to secure an op- tion and pay small sum down to bind the bargain.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-27


 five heard also" replied Martin. casually, now that he had fair start. that your brother was not dead and has been seen about here within few years. hardly believe that, how ever"
 For one instant David's wrinkled face grew livid. and the hand holding the whittled stick shook as with palsy. Its a lie," he almost shouted "a scand'l Jus lie n told by an middle here t injurc me-"
 i've no doubt of that" replied Mar tin, smiling calmly at the old miser's excitement, 'but that story has been told and stranger coming here will be sure to hear 1t. I am not certain myself but that your brothers child, Angie, has some legal claim yet against your estate--some inherited dover right. It's matter that doesn't con cern me, however. The only question is-do you want to sell the Mizzy power aud land above, and can you give me clear title?"
 T kin, n, 'cordin to law" replied David, in an ugly tone, "'n' ez for the price, what'll ye giye?"
 "How much land do you own above the falls, and what will you take for 1t, and the power?" answered Martin, facing about and looking squsrely into David's face.
 For moment the two sharp bar gain-makers glanced into each others eyes, the sparrlng at an end, and each sure the other had been lying. stTsl1 &al-o eAn nnn e. Al S n odd acres above n the falls n both mills" returned the elder, dog gedly.
 And I'll give you $3e,0oo inside q year, and pay you s2.oO0 down to-day, to bind the bargain" admitted the younger
 David shook his head 'No," he said. T ain't sellin' on them terms'
 Well, Inl not anxious to buy,' re- joined Martin, drawing a big roll of bills into view. "All I wanted was to see if could get an option on the prop erty and induce my friend to locate here. I'll make you one more offer ne added, returning the money to his pocket. 'I'll give you s10 for 30 days option, or you can accept my first offer" And he rose to go.
 David rose also. It was critical moment. Deep down in his heart he knew Martins innuendo was true, and that Angie had a legal claim against him. More than that, it was within the bounds of possibility that Amzi was still alive. He distrusted Martin and, consummate hypocrite himself, believed all others to be the same; and yet, here was $2,000 almost within his grasp. It inflamed him and made him tremble with the miser's greed-and $30,000 was all he dared ask the other! This wouldbe buyer had undoubtedly been lying. but the money was re- ality. All this flashed through David's mind as Martin turned away, and av- arice won!
 "I'll take yer fust offer," he said 1 doggedly, "an' ye've got to sign paper now, 'greein' to pay the rest inside a year, or forfeit the $2,ooo." stI'm satisfied to do that" returned Martin, smiling serenely, but also want signed agreement from you to deliver me warranty deed if do pay the balance inside year"
 And when these mutual distrust pa- pers had been exchanged, the $2,000 counted over three times, with trem- bling fingers, by David, and Martin
