many hours Of almost overwhelming
loneliness. Also there were many
thoughts such as are not especially
good for the spirits of growing boys.
The place where the Duncans lived
was a house, but under no liberal in
depreciation of the word could it be
called a home. There was nothing
hOmelike in it to little Bruce.
The other lasting memory was Of
Linda. She represented the II liv-
ing creature in all his assemblage of
phantoms-the one person with whom
he could claim real kinship. He had
done a bold thing, after his first few
years with the Duncans. He planned
it long and carried it out with infinite
care as to details. He wrote to Linda,
in care of the superintendent Of the
orphanage.
The answer only ~deepened the
mystery. Linda was missing. Whether
she had run away, or whether some
one had come by in a closed car and
carried her off as she played on the
lawns, the superintendent could not
tell. They had never been able to
trace her. He had been fifteen then,
a tall boy with rather unusual muscu-
lar development, and the girl was
eleven. And in the year nineteen hun
dred and twenty, ten years after the
reply to his letter, Bruce had heard
no word from her. He had given up
all hope of ever hearing from her
again. my little sister," he said
softly to a memory. Then bitterness
"a whole black flood of it-would
come upon him. "Good Lord, l don't
even know that she was my sister"
But now he was going to find her
and his heart was full of joy and eager
anticipation.

CHAPTER w

The train came to a sliding halt
at Deer Creek, paused an infnitesimal
fraction of a second, and roared on in
its ceaseless journey. That infnitesi-
NAL fraction was long enough for
Bruce, poised on the bottom step OF a
sleeping car, to swing down on to the
gravel righttof-way. His bag, hurled
by a sleepy porter, followed him.
Duncan's next impression was one
Of infinite solitude. He hadn't read
any guidebOOks about Deer Greek, and
he had expected some sort Of town.
But here was one little wooden struc-
ture with only three sides,-the open
ing facing the track. 1t was evidently
the waiting room used by the noun
tain men as they waited for their
local trains.
There were no pOrters to carry his
bag. There were no shouting officials.
His only companions were the stars
and the moo and, farther up the
slope, certain tall trees that tapered
to incredible points almost in the re-
giOn where the stars began.
Inc WuOle SCeue, LOT causes Keeper
than any words may ever seek and re-
veal, moved him past any experience
in his life. 1t was wholly new.
He turned about until the wind was
In his face. 1t was full of fragrances,-
strange, indescribable smells that
seemed to call up a forgotten world.
They carried a message to him, but as
vet he hadn't made out its meaning.
He only knew It was something mys-
terious and profound: great truths
that fickered, like dim lights, in his
consciousness, but whose outline he
could not quite discern.
Perhaps there were sounds, but they
only seemed part Of the silence. The
faintest rustic in the world reached
him from the forests above of many
little winds playing a running game
between the trunks, and the stir of
the Little People, moving in their mid
night occupations. Each of these
sounds had its message for Bruce.
They ALI seemed to be trying to tell
him something, to make clear some
great truth that was dawning in his
consciousness.

ever-tightening clasp Of his hands over

SENATOR WESLEY STALEY
STATE TREASURER CANDIDATE

Senator Wesley Staley has con-
se,.ted to allow his name to be used
Is candidate before the Demo-
cratic State assembly for designs
ton as the party's nominee for the
office of state treasurer.
For the past several months party
leaders from all sections Of the state
have been urging the Arvada sena-
tor to allow them to use his name
as a candidate for governor. This
he has declined to do. He says
that there is now too much good
eubernatorial timber already an
nounced that to add more names to
the list would only complicate mat
ters.
In nearly every campaign for the
rast several years party leaders,
recognizing the senator's ability to
handle finances, have urged him to
become a candidate for state trea-
surer. This he has persistently re-
fused to do in the past, saying he
could do more good for Jsfferson
county and the rest Of the state in
the law making body. ~
He has served this county for six
years in the house and senate of the
state legislature and served his con-
stituents faithfully. In the house.
while the Republicans had the ma
jority he was on the finance COM
mittee and when he became state
senator he was Immediately made
chairman of the finance committee.
He is one of the best posted men on
finances in the state of Colorado to-
day.
Senator Staley has proven great
friend to the people Of Jefferson
county during the recent hard times,
His financial connections were such
that he was able to protect many
