28 The Blue and White Th Oakhurst Pasteurized Dairy Milk To Westbrook People y Pure Milk and Cream Everything Clean Daily Delivery We invite inspection of our Plant 364 Forest Avenue, Portland that you must do. As soon as possible you must take the dog team and go to the Post and record my claim in your name. I was taken ill just as I got everything ready to start. You must keep a good watch out for Huck Macey and .led Redden, as they have found out the place where my mine is. It is more than rich enough to keep you in comfort the rest of your life. But you must be very care- ful. as these two men are very' dangerous. You will start at dawn tomorrow and go by the river route. and you should get there before dark, then return in another day. I will be with you in spirit on the journey and perhaps help protect you. Make ready to start now, dear. Ry dawn the next day Irene was all ready to start. and with her father's great dogs, was soon spinning over the snow. She traveled fast, as it was bitter cold, and it was a long journey to the Post. She came to a stop on the top of a small hill and looked about her over the vast whiteness. Then she saw some- thing way oh' in the distance, and could just make out two dog teams, with their occupants in each. They were going at a good rate, and as she watched she saw that they would cross her trail about noon. She suspected that they were her fatherls old enemies. After think- ing a minute. she decided to try the trail in the woods. This she did, and after traveling about three miles, came to a clearing, where she could see a cabin. This was the home of Silent Joe, the Indian guide, who was a friend of her father. He was pleased to see her after her two years' absence at school. Quickly she told him her trouble, and his old face was very stern as he told her to wait and he would help her. Soon they were on the trail again, and Silent joe told her of the hardships that had befallen her father these last two winters, and that he had had much trouble with the two men now chasing her. At last they turned back to the river, and Silent joe showed her where the trail crossed the river and would save her two hours of hard traveling. He also said that her enemies knew nothing of this trail. So, leaving her with directions as to where and how to go, he went back to his cabin to attend to her team. She kept on and soon knew that she was getting nearer her destination and would soon know whether or not the fortune was hers. As she reached the recorderis office, she could hardly see, as it was growing dark. She had everything fixed in her name and the claims safely in her hands when the door flew open and the two men came striding in, and when they saw Irene they both exclaimed.
