happy Carl, after everything had been narrated. "With that paper in our
hands we can have no further trouble in securing our property. But I

be repaid through kindness to his mother."

On the following day they took Judge Beatty, who was an old friend of
Carl's father, into their confidence, and the certificate of stock was
promptly though grudgingly delivered to them on demand.

Amasa Culpepper knew that he had been fairly beaten in the game, and he

Tom Chesney wrote his account of their great trip over big Bear

adventures befall them as had accompanied the hike over Big Bear
Mountain.
