 But William Anthony. melancholy. resentful. was wandering over the un- peopIed wastes of Alta California. vainly seeking relief from a sore heart. And Gideon's grandfather. not trying very hard, 1t is suspected, failed to trace the baby's uncle. Letters from New England found him, however: i: told him that the faithful woman of his early love was slowly fading away.

 The sequel proves that William Anthony never forgave his brother; for the boy grew up as a dependent. called only Gideon Ingram. and never knowing his right to his uncle's name. Senor Guerrero died some years ago. willing his estate to his grandson and providing for a search for him. Yet # is probable he would have remained undiscovered had not the agents pur chasing right of way for the Southern Pacific Railroad company needed his signature.
