she had heard Old Cy describe so Of
ten; the name she knew was really
his; the almost startling resemblance
to Uncle Jud in speech, ways, and
opinions; and countless other proofs.
Surely it must be so. Surely Old Cy,
of charming memory, and Uncle Jud
nc less so, must be brothers, and now
it was in her power to-and then she
paused, shocked at the position she
faced.
She was 10Y known as Vera Ray
mond, and respected; she had cut
loose forever from the old shame of
an outlaws child; of a wretched
drudge at Tins Place; of being sold
as a slave; and all that now made her
blush.
And then Ray!
Full well she knew now what must
have been in his heart that last even

she had since realized. Ray had been

He dared not say II love you; be my
wife," Instead, he had been hurried
away to keep them apart; and as all
this dire food of shame that had
driven her from Greenvale surged in
her heart, the bitter tears came.
In calmer moments, and when the
heart-hunger controlled, she had hoped
he might some day find her and some
day say, Il love you" But now, SC

who she was, to admit to these new

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and ~fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE a be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be-
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with It's ex-
cellent combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

then only in the fewest possible words.
Now Old Cy became almost a walking
sphinx, and found that time passed
slowly. His heartstrings had some.
how become entwined with Rays
hopes and plans. He had bent every
energy and thought to secure for Ray
a valuable stock of eurs and gum, and,
as with his nature, felt a keen salts
faction in helping that youth to a few
hundred dollars.
Now Ray had departed, furs, gum
and all. He had promised to return
with Martin and Angie later on, but Of
that Old Cy felt somewhat dubious,
and so the old man mourned.
There was no real reason for 1t, for
all Nature was now smiling. The lake
was blue and rippled by the June
breezes; trout leaped out of it night
and morning; flowers we're blooming,
squirrels frisking, birds singing and
nest-bulding; and what Old Cy most
enjoyed, the vernal season was at
hand.
Another matter also disturbed him
the whereabouts of Mcclure and the
half-breed, Pete Bolduc.
Levi had brought the information
that neither had been seer mo- heard
Of since the previous autumn; but
that was not conclusive, and somehow
Old Cy felt that a certain mystery had
attached itself to them, and once we
suspect a mystery, II pursues US like

a phantom. He did not fear either Of
these renegades, however. He had
never harmed them. But he felt that
any day might bring a call from n
or the other, or that some tragic out
come would be disclosed.
Another problem also annoyed him
who this thief of their game could
be, and whether his supposed cave lair
was a permanent hiding spot.
Two reasons had kept Old Cy from
another visit to that sequestered lake
during the fall trapping season: first.
its evident danger, and then lack Of
time. But now, with nothing to do ex-
cept wait for the incoming ones, an
impulse to visit again this mysterious
spot came to him.
He had, at the former excursion, felt
almost certain that this unknown trap
per was either Mcclure or the half
breed. Some assertions made by Levi
seemed to corroborate that theory, and
impelled by It, Old Cy started alone,
one morning, to visit this lake again.
1t took him until midday to carry his
canoe, camp outfit, rifle, and all across
from the stream to stream, and twi-
light had come ere he reached the la.
coon where he and Ray had left the
main stream and camped. Up here
Old Cy now turned his canoe, and re-
pairing the bark shack they had built,
which had been crushed by winters
snow, he camped there again.
Next morning, bright and early, he
launched his canoe and once more fol
lowed the winding stream through the
dark gorge and out into the rippled
lake again.
Here he halted and looked about.
No signs of aught human could be
seen. The long, narrow lakelet
sparkled beneath the morning sun
The bald mountain frowned upon it
the jagged lodges just across faced
him like serried ramparts, an eagle
slowly circled overhead, and. best in
dication of primal solitude, an antlered
deer stood loking at him from out ar
opening above the Lodges.

Old Cy, glancing around; "but if this
