CHAPTER xxIll.-Continued.

It is said that great discoveries are
almost invariably made by some tri-
fling accident--a gold mine found by
stumbling over a stone, valley pro-
life of diamonds disclosed by digging
for water.
In this case it was true, for as Old
Cy bent to light his second torch ere
he withdrew from the inner cave, a
flash Of reflected light came from be-
meath this slab-only for one second,
but enough to attract his attention.
He stopped again and lifted the slab.
Six large tin cans had been hidden by
it, He grasped one and could scarce
lift it. Again his fingers closed over
it. He crawled backward TO the bet
ter-lighted cave and drew the cover
off the can with eager motion, and
poured a heap of shining, glittering
coin out upon that food-littered table.
Into that dark hole he dived again,
as a starved dog leaps for food, seized
the cans, two at time, almost tum-
bled back, and emptied them. Four
had been filled with gold coin and two
stuffed with paper money.
Folded with these bills of all de-
nominations from one to fifty dollars
was a legal paper yellowed by age,
with a red seal still glowing like a
spot of blood.
1t was an innholders license, au-
thorizing one Thomas Mcclure to fur
nish food, shelter, and entertainment
for man and beast.
With eyes almost tear-dimmed and
heart throbbing at having found poor
Chips splendid heritage, Old Cy now
gazed at it.
The sharp stones upon which he
knelt nearly pierced his flesh, but he
felt them not.
The CLINT of sunlight from the crack
above caressed his Scant gray hairs
and white fringing beard, forming al
m lst halo, yet he knew it not.
He only knew that here, before him,
on this rude stone table, lay thousands
of dollars, all belonging to the child
he loved.
THANK God, little GAL" he said at
last, i've found what belongs to We,
n We hain't got to want for nothin' no
more. wish ] could kiss we now"
Little did he realize that at this
very moment of thankfulness for her
sake, poor Chip was lost to all who
knew her, and, half starved and al
most hopeless, knew not where to
find shelter.

guessed from Rays face and actions,
and he was not long in verifying it.
wal, how'd we find the gal?" he
said to Ray when the chance came.
Was she glad to see ye?"
why, yes" answered Ray, looking
away, "she appeared to be. l wasn't

know"

vaguely; her school hadn't closed

Old Cy watched Rays face for mo-
ment.

your side, I'd sorter like to know how
it's progressin'. Want thar nothin

mo, nothing of that sort" answered
Ray, looking confused, though we
parted good friends, and she sent her
love to you. I'm afraid Chip don't
quite like Greenvale.'
Old Cy made no answer, though a
smothered hum, ha" escaped him al
the disclosure of what he feared.
Il wish ye'd sorter clinched matters
fore we left" he said, after pause
that is, If ye're callatin' to be here
mother winter. It's most too long to
keep a gal guessin; sides, 'tain't

Ray, however, made no defense, in
fact, seemed guilty and confused, sc
Old Cy said no more.
A few days later he made a pro

No intimation OF his real errand
escaped him, and so adroitly had he
laid his plans and timed his move
ments, that when his canoe was packed
and he babe them good-by, no one sus
pected how valuable cargo it carried.
But Old Cy was more than "sorter
Uneasy" for the only spot where he
dared close his eyes in sleep during
that three days journey out of the
wilderness was in his canoe. with his
head pillowed on that precious gold.

CHAPTER XVI.

Life at Peaceful Valley and the
home Of Judson Walker fell into it's
usual monotony after Chips depart
ure.
Each day Uncle Jud went about his
chores and his crop-gathering ard
watched the leaves grow scarlet, then
brown, and finally go eddying up and
down the valley, or heap themselves
into every nook and Granny for final
sleep.
Existence had become something
like this to him, but he could no longer
anticipate vernal budding forth as
the leaves came, but only the scar and
tutumn for himself, with the small
and sadly neglected churchyard at the
Corners for it's ending.
Snow came and piled itself into fam
tastic drifts. The streams summer
chatter was hushed. The cows.
chickens. and his horse, with wood.
cutting, became his sole care. Once
week he journeyed to the Corners
for his weekly paper. and Mandy's
errands, always hoping for a message
from Chip. Now and then one came. a

representing the university shall in
dulge in, but. on the other hand, the
faculty controls the students.
The faculty of Harvard would be
within it's powers if it promulgated
an order to the effect that no student
shall compete in more than two inter-
collegiate contests in any one sport
in any one college year, and thls
would have the same effect as would
legislation which would actually limit
the contests scheduled to this num-
Der.
But whatever may be the outcome
of the attitude that the Harvard fac
ulty has taken. the fact remains that
in supporting an idea regarding the
regulation of intercollegiate sports
that had its origin at Harvard, ana
was not an idea presented for Har-
wards support by the New England
college conference. as the recent eX-
planatory statements made by the
Harvard faculty regarding its own
action would tend to make the reader
understand.

Melville E. Webb. .Jr., in the Boston
Globe gays: The Harvard faculty in
going on record as favoring intercoi-
legiate competition in only two con-
tests in each branch of athletic sport
seems to have stirred up the under
graduates Of the university to make d
well-organized protest
Immediately following an editorial in
the college paper. which reflected the
rebellious attitude of the student body,
the faculty made haste to explain it's
action by stating that this was not an
initial |cne, but was taken in order to
show It's sympathy with a similar vote
taken last December by the conference
OF New England colleges, at which a
molten TO the same effect was adopted.
The Harvard faculty. however. did
not complete its explanation OF its &C
ton b. stating how the New England
conference happened to pass the mo-
ton Il did.
At the December meeting OF the CEN
ference. which was held BY invitation
1ngs, Pres Charles W. Eliot of Harvard
offered Il resolution relating to the linn
itation Of Intercollegiate competitions
TO two contests in each branch or sport,
and requested that the motion be pass
ed by the conference.

Limitation of Athletic Contests
Originated by President Eliot.

President Eiot's suggestion was
acted on at this meeting. which is al
WAYS a secret one. All OF the colleges
represented at the conference voted
for it with the exception Of Yale.
Therefore in taking the action it did.
the Harvard faculty was officially
going on record as backing up Pres.
Eliots position. and as supporting an
attitude toward intercollegiate sport,
which originally was from the Cam
bridge university itself.
The leading undergraduates at Har-
ward do not feel that the faculty has
made the above facts quite clear, but

have been forthcoming had not the
