there was no fervor in his gratitude.
Less than from any person in the
world was he inclined to accept IA

the man who restored to him his lost
property-Cyrus Moore.
Six months previous, a stranger, in
need of work and with dead past

drifted into the little mining town of
zaratO and had remained there since.

the hotel and the two principal stores
in the place and saw in the inteIli-
gent and well-appearing stranger the
person he needed to act as book
keeper and manager of his varied in
terests for a reasonable compensa-

and entirely satisfactory to his en-
ployer. He was regarded as a man
with hidden history, glad to buy

world.
1t was, indeed, true that Page had
a dark secret in his young life, and
that he was an exile in hiding on that
account. He was fully content with
setting down into obscurity. He was
even more satisfied when he became
acquainted with Ruth Mortimer. She
taught district school a few miles
from her home and lived near it with
her father. The latter had mining
claim which brought in small and
spasmodic returns, was in debt sto
