Mrs. Danes little boy being the only
survivor. The boy is found and adopt
ed by the Silsbees, who build home
in the mountains which they call "Ea-
gle's Nest" because of the big eagles
nest in the rocks over their heads. In
the meantime Milford hears of the
massacre, and, believing all dead, ap-
propriates the Danes deeds. Silsbee,
later dies, and the Dane boy. known as
Jack Trail, is the idol of his foster
mother.
Twenty years pass and Milford and
Robert Blasedon, who are located in
Sacramento, are wealthy. Blasedon
discovers that Milford has forged the
Dane papers, but remains silent as he
hopes to wed Milford's daughter, Rose.
On trip to the mountains, Milford,
Blasedon and Rose meet with an acci-
dent, and Jack Trail rescues them and
takes them to eagles Nest" Mil.
ford continues on his journey alone,
leaving the Dane papers with Rose.
Jack and Rose fall in love. One day,
Blasedon, angry at the rebuff, attacks
the girl. Mrs. Silsbee runs to the res
cue, and Blasedon, siezing Jacks gun,
kills the widow.
Jack is arrested for the crime, but is
saved by Dibsey, a lawyer whom Jack
has befriended. Rose is taken to the
cabin of Sierra Suze. Blasedon, with
the aid of two outlaws, traces Rose to
the cabin, where he forces the girl to
marry him, and then, after setting fire
to the cabin, escapes with her. The
Dane papers that Blasedon takes with
him from the cabin are merely blank
papers; Dibsey, the lawyer, having
secured possession of the real ones.
Blasedon hurries with Rose to the Mil
ford home, thinking he can bring Mil
ford to terms. Jack follows him there.
When Biasedon finds the papers he
has are blank sheets, he hastily dlsap-
pears, fearing he will be accused of
murder. Rose and Jack go to Sierra
Suze's cabin to recover the original
deeds. and as Dibsey starts to hand
them over, Blasedon rushes from hid
ing and grabs them. Jack, after a
struggle manages to get them, and
Blasedon, in attempting to escape,
falls from high bridge and is killed
in the ravine below. Later, Rose finds
the peculiarly carved whip, and Milford
recognizes it as the one he gave to
Mrs. Dane years before. This identi-
fies Jack Trail as Philip Danes son.
Milford tells them the story of the In.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS

is the paramount question in
every household where there are
young folks. The The younger
children, quick to be influenced
by the skepticism of those older
wisdom, often have their faith
in a Santa Claus shaken, and
they appeal for information to
the parents. Sometimes they
seek it in the newspapers. One
of these doubling little tots sent
a letter to the editor of the New
York Sun, and that busy man
answered it in a beautiful way.
Here is what the little girl
wrote:
Dear Editor:-I am eight years
old. Some of my little friends say
there is no Santa Claus. Papa says,
If you see it in The Sun, it's So
Please tell me the truth. Is there
