paused at the western balustrade and
looked of at st. Agatha's. Then he
passed me and paused again, gazing
!akeward through the wood as though
turning from Helen to Rosalind; and
| knew that 1t was with her, far over
the water, in the little cottage at Red
Gate, that his thoughts fingered. But

and from the west marched a storm
with banners of lightning. It was a
splendid spectacle, and we went in

watched 1t from our windows after
we went upstairs. the lightning now
blazing out blindingly, like sheets of
flame from furnace door, and again
cracking about the house like a fierv

CHAPTER xxIv.-Contlnued.

81 will hear what you have to say.
Arthur" said Miss Pat; and I knew
. that there was no arresting the tide.
I snatched out the sealed envelone and
turned with it to Arthur Ho'brook
and he took 1t into his hands and
turned it over quietly, though his
hands trembled.
Tell me the truth gentlemen!"-
and Miss Pats voice thrilled now with
anger.
''Trickery, more trlckery: those
we're stolen from Helen!" blurted Hen
nv, his eyes on the envelope; but we
we're waiting for the canoe-maker to
speak. and Henry's words rang empti-
iy In the shop.
Arthur looked at his brother; then
he faced his sister.
Henry Is not guilty" he said,
calmly.
He turned with a quick gesture and
thrust the envelope into the flame of
one Of the candles; but Helen sprang
forward and caught away the blazing
packet and smothered the flame be-
tween her hands.
I'VE will keep the proof" she said
in tone of triumph; and knew then
how completely she had believed in
her father.
Il don't know what is in that pack
ct" said Gillespie. slowly, speaking for
tho farst time. 1T has never been
opened. My lawyer told me that IA
Their had sworn to a statement about
the trouble with Holbrook Brothers
and placed 1t with the notes. My ia.
Their was a peculiar man In some
ways" continued Gillespie, embar-
raised by the attention that was now
riveted upon him. Ills lawyer told
me that was to open that package
before-before marrying into"-and he
grew red and stammered helplessly,
with his eyes on the floor-"before
marrying into the Holbrook family. I
gave up that packet''-and he hest
tated. coloring. and turning from Hell
en- to Rosalind-"by mistake. But it's
mine. and l demand 1t now"
Il wish Aunt Pat to open the en-
velope," said Rosalind very white.
Henry turned look of appeal upon
his brother; but Miss Pat took the
envelope from Helen and tore it open;
and We stood by as though we waited
for death or watched earth fall upon a
grave. She bent down to one of the
candles nearest her and took out the
notes, which were wrapped in sheet
of legal cap. A red seal frightened in
the light. and we heard the slight rat
tie Of the paper in her tremulous fin
gers as she read. Suddenly tear
flashed upon the white sheet. When
she had quite finished she gathered
GiAespie's statement and the notes in
her hand and turned and gave them
to Henry; but she did not speak to
him Or meet his eyes. She crossed to
where Arthur stood beside me, his
head bowed, and as she advanced he
turned away; but her arms stole over
his shoulders and she said Arthur

CORDONA. Dec IS. - lnasmuch as Mir. o. Roberts was one of the first of the Curdova men to become interested in the Valdez mining dis trict adjacent 10 the now famous little Cliff. the Truth has asked him to give it a statement of facts as to conditions there at the pres ent time, dwelling specially on the property Of the Owl Mining com pany. He says:
 The Owl Mining company is or ganiZed under the laws of Alaska, incorporated for $500,0oo, of 500,- 900 shares, al a par value of $1.00 per share. Articles of incorporation recorded in tha recording office of the territory of Alaska, at Juneau, and in the records of the district court of Valdez, Alaska.
 The purpose of said company is: Mining, developing. water rights, building railroads, steam and elec- tric, hotel and merchantile business es, etc.
 The property of said company at this time is a group of eight gold quartz claims, situated ill the Val dez mining district of Alaska. These ClGllIIS di c ibOul IIHC III q westerly direction from Valdez, and three-fOurths of mile from Val dez bay, on the north side of the bay, and about two miles in an east erly direction from Shoups bay, and of easy access from either Valdez bay or Shcup bay. Plenty of wa ter for mining purposes but no tim Der on the ground. The altitude on the Valdez bay side above sea level is about 1000 feet, between 5000 and 4,00O feet on the Shoups bay side on the nest northerly claim. These claims are located six in body and one claim on each end, making eight claims in all. They are situated one and a half miles from the famous Cliff mine, which has produced something over $300,- 900 in gold in the last year; from three small stamps for the month of November, just past, the cut put was $46,OOO. The Owl Mining company claims to have had no work done on them yet-just locat- ed this last September, 1910. They have some tissue veins cutting the formation and croppings from six inches to three feet in width, the formation slate and shale.
 These eight claims are an exten, sicn of the Imperial group of claims owned by Red Ellis and associates. The Imperial claims commence at the waters edge of Valdez bay and extend up the side of the mountain in a northerly direction about three claims lengths touching the Owl Mining claims. The Imperial Min ing company has one tunnel on the vein at waters edge, in distance of about 200 feet on good vein of ore from three to three and one half feet in thickness, and another tunnel driven on vein on the upper claim, adjoining the Owl Mining companys claims, distance of some 250 feet, showing well de fined ledge from three to three and one-half feet in thickness and cut ting through the Owl Mining com panys property. I have never seen these tunnels. MT. Ellis told me of his working and another party that l consider re liable said that at the upper
