when Uncle Charley died, six hundred and forty acres of auriferous land which I thought I had inherited from my father Is still standing on the county records as the property of Uncle Charley. “My father bought this section from Uncle Charley, and I dare say Uncle Charley gave him a deed, be- ' cause I know father gave Uncle Charley five thousand dollars. My father always claimed that a prehistoric river channel ran through the heart of ' that section, and that it was goldbearing “Uncle Charley believed the property to boa section of country rock with some soil on top. They quarreled about it ,so Dad bought Uncle Charley out. Then they made up, and Dad helped Uncle Charley spend most of the live thousand dollars he had paid Uncle Charley for the land. They were partners, you see. and one always felt entitled to sixty or seventy per eent of whatever the other possess! d.” "And did your father neglect to file that deed so rrecord?" > "Evidently. There is no record." "Where is the deed’.” “I do not know. 1 have' never seen it.” "When did you make this discovery ?” "But you knew .surely, that the deed was absolutely not in your posses sion?” “Os course I did. But I didn't worry about it because 1 thought it was down at Uncle Charley's cabin, among my father’s papers. Uncle Charley thought so. too. after 1 told him 1 didn't have it and asked him if he did.

some day. You see, dear Unele Char- i ley would never do today what he could postpone until tomorrow. Neither would my father—and I fear I , have inherited some of my father’s , characteristic!." "But when your father died did you , not take Immediate stepa to apply for letters of administration on his es- ' fate?" i 1 Monica chook her head. “There was 1 no hurry about it," she replied wearily "I regarded that section as in-1 different grazing-land, and if I had applied for letters of administration that would have necessitated half a dozen trips to the county-scat to see a lawyer and confer with the fudge and I didn't have time for so many long journeys. I thought I’d wait until I left Bogus forever and went down yonder to live." "Who paid the taxes?” "I did The tax bills kept coming to Uncle Charley, who paid them, and 1 reimbursed him. I spoke to Uncle Charley about the bills coming to him. but he thought the county recorder was probably short of help and behind in his work, but that when be caught up with his job the bills would be mailed to me." j “Bow did you discover the title to ; the land was still vested in Uncle Charley?" Monica told him the story. "Uncle (barley didn't intimate to Mr. Thurlow that the property wasn’t his. He agreed to sell the land for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, plus the income tax, planning to give the mining people a deed direct and endorse their i heck to me. "The offer appeared, to him, too ' good to be true, and he wanted to

close the deal immediately before the Hercules people should change their minds. The poor old dear was so excited he must have run all the way up from Dogwood Flats to tell me —add then the added evcitument of the fire the heat, and his subsequent exertion overcame him. Realizing he was about to die he tried to bequeath the property to me - and AzTael interfered at the last moment." CHAPTER 11 Monica's recital had imbued her
