 Old stations along the peninsular coast were Sand Point on Unga Island, and Chignik to the north esat on the mainland, both having coal fields. Black Mountain and Black Lake were known to be in an oil field (hence the name) and oil claims were located in that vicinity many years ago. Wide Bay, southeast of Lake Ugashik, was the landing place of early argonauts like the Alaska Juneau, the Alaska TreadWell and other companies, their oil claims being situated about halfway between Lake Ugashik and Wide Bay. Here surface indications must have been exceedingly good, for the maps show these same claims were located over each other three or four different times. Work was done by Poindexter, if not the others-the last we do not know.
 Farther up this coast is Portage Bay, Jute Bay, Dry Bay, and Oil Bay, before Cold Bay is reached. At all these bays landings were made over period of years by adventurous souls on the trail of the oil, and many claims were To- cated. The entire southern shore of Becharof Lake as well as parts of the eastern and western shores were blanketed with oil claims. Nearly all the land between the three large lakes and Shelikof Strait was located and much of it three and for times over.
 Again trailing along northward, Inniskin Bay, Illiamna Bay, Kam- ishak Bay are encountred. In all these districts oil fields are strong ly indicated in divers ways. Sur face showings, seepage, oil shale, sand and dome formations have long pointed out to the open minded the whereabouts of "black gold"
 At Cold Bay the tundra or oil soaked peat covered the ground for years. Neither trees nor shrubs grew in the oil soaked earth, and

remaining only little while to look
at the dead. Now, since she had seen
the white warrior among the Mohawks,
she was even more positive that they
belonged to the war band and that
she was fortunate to have kept herself
concealed. When she found that
Babin's musket was loaded, she re-
GREETED that she had not used 1t to
kill one Of the murderers. That was
why, installing him for another stray
gler, she had fired at Jeems.
One might have expected excite
ment in her narrative, but 1t was told
quietly as she looked from Jeems
across the clearing. 1t was recital
of fact without the establishment of
pathos or drama, and Jeems remained
silent for time when it was ended.
Then he told of his visit to Lussan's
and of his race home and what he
found there. He spoke of Hepsibah.
HE must have discovered the Mo-
hawks on the far side of the valley
and started the fire which he had al
ways told me to expect. After that, he
tried to reach US and they killed him."
HE may have escaped" suggested
Toinette hopefully.
Jeems shook his head.
HE would have come to US. He is
dead"
His voice possessed the Unconditional
certainty with which she had re-
ferred to her father and Heloise.
There was no possibility of his uncle
being alive. He repeated that belief,
and added that their salvation was
little short of miracle. But now, he
thought, their way would be clear to
friends farther down the river. The
Indians could not have gone many
miles in that direction, for evidently
they were hurrying back before Baron
Dieskau learned of their presence in
the French country and set out forces
to cut them off. 1t did not occur to
Jeems that the baron and his men
might have been defeated, as was true
in that very hour.
He produced apples and pair of
purpie-topped turnips from the pro-
vision pouch which he wore at his
belt, and they ate these as they
waited. Meanwhile, he told her what
they must do. They would be forced
to spend a night in the woods, but he

Leprosy became prevalent in the

father had commanded, she disobeyed
him by going downstairs, calling for
him and for Heloise. The front part
Of the house was filed with flame and
smoke, and when she turned to the
servants quarters she was cut of by
fire and there was no response to her
cries. 1t was then she thought Of the
mill which she had often heard her
father say was impregnable against
both fire and guns. She descended
into the cellar and went from 1t
through a short underground passage
to an outdoor caveau made Of sod
and stones, in which they kept fruit
and vegetables during the winter. She
hid herself in this earthly place, AMI
then dared to raise the surface door
a little. The worst must have been
over, for she could see only few In
dlans about, and everything was on
fire. There was yelling in the distance
where the savages were attacking the
farmers homes. When she assembled
from the caveau, she stumbled over
the body Of old Babin, the miller, who
had fallen with a musket in his hands.
She took the musket and went to the
mill, and after that she did not see an
Indian about the seigneurie. Sickness
overcame her, and she was half uncon-
scious In the tower room. Later, look
ing through one of the narrow win
dows, she saw four men come from
the south. She was sure they were
white men, but was afraid to reveal
herself because their appearance was
so terrible. They were like monsters,

Tragic Secrets Known
to CITY Dealers in Art


One Of the fascinating traditions Of
the art business--the buying and SELL
ing Of paintings In particulars that
now and then old masters actually
do turn up In secondhand shops and
in auction sales, and are discovered
and retrieved at a fraction Of their
real value.
But George W. Keller, now retired,
reveals another side Of the business.
He says:
zone learns to keep secrets In this
business. The auctioneer often opens
closets which hold old family skele-
tons. But he must not tell. I was
alone in the store one afternoon when
q poor old woman, aged-the wreck
Of manhood-stumbled In. Dissi-
patton had ruined once beautiful fea-
lures. She was ragged and grimy
from head to foot. She begged for
a dime and as she did SO her gaze
fell upon a large old portrait Of a
beautiful girl dressed In the height of
a long past fashion. She stood like a
stone image for second or two, then
screamed like mad thing. It was
her own portrait she was gazing at,
the picture Of herself as a beautiful
young girl, in happy home, the CEN
ter Of brilliant social life. She
tainted and / called an ambulance and
had her sent to a hospital. Before
she died she told me her real name.

of the secrets shall always keep"

GROSS ASKS COURT /
TO RULE ON CHILD
Counsel Moves Vacation OF
Divorce to Protect Girls
Rights in Trust Fund.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August ala struggle
for million-dollar trust fund which
has been waged for several years in the
courts of Illinois, New York and France
by Capt. Christian Charming Gross and
Mrs. Virginia Harrison Gross entered a
new phase today.
Judge Joseph B. David, who signed
a divorce decree yesterday which settled
some OF their tangled marital affairs,
only to vacate his order few minutes
later, ordered attorneys for the liti-
giants to confer with him today.
Robert Cantwell, jr, attorney for the
former Chicagoan who is now In the
United States diplomatic service at
Ottawa, moved the vacation of the
divorce, saying it was necessary to de-
termine the paternity of a 3-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Gross to protect the
childs rights in sharing the trust fund.
Cantwell said Capt. Gross did not deny
fatherhood Of the child. He merely
wanted ruling on the point
Cantwell said that Capt, Gross has
asked for leave of cosencE in order to
come to Chicago in order to tell his
story Of the child, i1asmuch as further
action depends upon the courts pa
ternity ruling. Gross also asked that
Mrs. Gross, together with the child,
Anna, be brought from France to the
Chicago courts.
The Crosses acknowledge the parent
age of two children, of whom Capt.
Gross has obtained custody. If the
court rules the third is also the daugh-
ter of Capt. Gross, then he viii also
attempt to gain custody of her. Can't
we'll said Gross was unaware Of Anna's
existence until she was almost years
old.
Mrs. Gross is the daughter Of Francis
Burton Harrison, former governor
general of the Philippines, and heiress
of a large San Francisco estate. They
were married In 1922 and separated In
1928, at which time they made an
agreement concerning the disposition Of
the trust fund turned over by Mrs.
Gross to her husband. Last August
Capt. Gross won a default divorce de-
cree here. 1t was appealed by Mrs.
Gross, but upheld except for certain
details, principally that concerning the
trust fund.
