CHAPTER XVI.

Life at Peaceful Valley and the
home of Judson Walker fell into its
usual monotony after Chips depart
ure.
Each day Uncle Jud went about his
chores and his crop-gathering and
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 a vernal budding forth as
the leaves came, but only the seal and
tutumn for himself, with the small
and sadly neglected churchyard at the
Corners for it's ending.
Snow came and piled itself into fan
tastic drifts. The streams summer
chatter was hushed. The cows
chickens, and his horse, with wood
cutting, became his sole care. Once
a week he journeyed to the Corners
for his weekly paper and Mandy'f
errands, always hoping for a message
from Chip. Now and then one came, a
little missive in angular chirography
telling how she longed to return ia
them, which they read and reread by
%candlelight.

NO SKIN LEFT ON BODY.
For Six Months Baby Mas Expected

"Six months after birth my little girl
broke out with eczema and l had two
doctors in attendance. There was not
a particle of skin left On her body, the
blood oozed out just anywhere, and we
had to wrap her in silk and carry her
on a pillow for ten weeks. She was the
most terrible sight l ever saw, and for
six months ! looked for her to die. I
used every known remedy to allevi-
ate her suffering, for it was terrible
to witness. DR.. c. gave her up. DR..

years old and has never had a sign

Cy never could explain, for escape
from the lake was nov his sole thought.
And yet, with one sweep of his paddle
he turned his canoe and sped across
the lake. And now, as he neared this
object, it slowly outlined itself, and he
saw a grewsome sight,-two bloated
corpses grasping one another as if in
a death grapple. One had hair OF
bronze red, the other a hideously
SCARED face with lips drawn and teeth
exposed.
Hate, Horror and Death personified.
Only for a moment did Old Cy
glance at this CHASTITY sight, and then
he turned again and sped back across
the lake.
The bright sun still smiled calm and
serene, the morning breeze still kissed
the blue water, the two deer still
watched him with curious eyes; but
he saw them not-only the winsome
face and appealing eyes of Chip as he
last beheld them.
And now in the prov of his canoe
lay her fortune, her heritage, which
was, after all, but scant return for al
the shame and sigma so far metet
out to her.
1t was almost sunset ere Old Cy, his
nerves still %quivering and wearied az
never before, crossed the little lake
and breathed a sigh of heartfelt graf

sandy shore near the ice house. NJ

the disclosure of what he feared.

Ray, however, made no defense, in
fact, seemed guilty and confused, so
Old Cy said no more.
A few days later he made a pro-
posal that astonished Martin.

years." he said, IAN I'm gittin sorter

tainly not Ray, must learn what had
now come into his possession. Neither
must his journey to this far-off lake or
aught he had learned there be dis
closed.
But how was he to escape from the
woods and these people, soon to ar
rive for their summer sojourn? And
what If Chip herself should come?
Two conclusions forced themselves
upon him now: first, he must SO con-
ceal the fortune that none of these
friends even could suspect its pres
ence; next, he must by some pretext
leave here as soon as Martin and his
party arrived, and cease not his
watchful care until Chips heritage
was safe in some bank in her name.
And now, with SO much Of his fu-
ture moves decided upon, he hurried
to the cabin, greeted Amzi, urged him
to hasten supper, and, securing a
shovel, returned to his n
In five minutes the ans of gold
were buried deep in the sand, and
upon Old Cy's person the bills found
concealment. How much 1t all
amounted to, he had not even guessed,
nor scarce thought. To secure 1t and
bear 1t safely away from this now al
most accursed lake had been his sole
thought and must be until locks and
bolts could guard it better. That
night Old Cy hardly slept a moment.
Two days after, just as the sun was
nearing the mountain top, Martin, An
gle, Levi and Ray entered the lake.
How grateful both Old Cy and Amzi
were for their arrival, how eagerly
they grasped hands with them at the
landing, and how like two boys Mar
tin and Ray behaved needs no de-
scription.
All that had happened In G%reenvale
was soon told. Chips conduct and
progress were related by Angie.
Rays plans to remain here another
winter were disclosed by him; and
then, when the cheerful party had
gathered about the evening fire, Mar
tin touched upon another matter.

Hersey came in early this spring with

to Pete's cabin on the Fox Hole, but
nowhere could they learn anything of

canoe was found at Pete's hut, and
there was no sign of occupation at all
this past winter. Nothing could be
learned from Tim, either, although
not much was expected from that

CHAPTER xxIli.-continued.

1t is said that great discoveries are
almost invariably made by some tri-
fling accident-a gold mine found by
stumbling over a stone, a 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 CT reflected light came from be-
meath this slab-only for n second,
but enough to attract his attention.
He stopped again and lifted the slab.
Six large tin a n 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
t~er-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 a 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 innholder's license, au-
thorizing one Thomas MCGUIRE 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
most a 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. l wish I could kiss ye 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.

XIV.

When Old Cy emerged from the
cave, his face glorified and heart
t~hrobbing with the blessings now his
to give Chip, he looked about with al
most fear. The two abandoned canoes
and the trusty rifle had seemed an as
a Of tragic import, and yet no
proof of this outlaws death. That
this a v had been his lair, could not
be doubted; and SO momentous was
this discovery, and SO anxious was Old
Cy to rescue this fortune, that he
trembled with a sudden dread.
But no sign Of human presence met
his sweeping look.
The lake still rippled and smiled in
the sunlight. Two deer, a buck and
doe, were feeding on the rushgrown
shore just across, while at his feet
that rusty rifle still uttered its fatal
message.
Once more Old Cy glanced all about,
and then entered the cave again.
Here, in the dim light and with trem-
bling hands, he filled the cans once
more, and almost staggered, SO faint
was he from excitement, he hurried
to the canoe, and packing them in it's
bow, covered the precious cargo with
his blanket.
Then he ran like a deer back TO the
cave, closed it with the slab, grasped
his rifle, and not even looking at the
rusty one, bounded down the path to
his canoe again, launched it. and
pushed off.
Never before had it seemed so frail
a craft. And now, as he swung Its
prov around toward the outlet, a curl
III object met his eyes.
Far up the lake, and where no ripple
concealed 1t, lay what looked like q
floating log, clasped by a human arm.
What intuition led him hither, Old

margin that the pursuing crew was

an abrupt stop.
McCutcheon, who is about 20 years
old, was very much pleased with his
experience. He was taken to the city

Winnemucca is to have a change in

Mr.. S. J. Anderson, who has so long
and faithfully filed that position has

Mr.. Anderson has not yet been in
formed who his successor will be, but
from information which the Silver

Mr.. Rogers is an old resident Of Win

two ago on account of his position with
the Southern Pacific, having been for
a long time conductor.
1t is not known when the change
will take place, but it is probable it
will be on the first of the month.
Mr.. Anderson resigned in order that
