' I Years ago, on a fine estate in England. he had possessed a little. sister who was all the kin he could claim in the world. He more than loved the girl--he worshiped her as few men have been known to do. She could not make a wish he would not gra- tify. And the girl-ashe loved the big tbroth- er better than anything in the world. until that other love awakened within her. One day she forsookv the brother, leaving a brief note behind. She -had married a ' man who was beneath her station in life. and fled with him -acro$ the ocean. Hal- libut faced his grief and went the way alone. From that day his` world had been a lonely world--Change of scenes. excitement, or even the chase could never make him for- ' zet. The sisters face` was always there. He sold the estate andsougbt forgetfulness .1 in travel. Then he did what he should have done at first---he sought the girl. But he found -her not.

The scarcity of hard timber, oc-I I ' casioned by heavy northern forest res. had recently enhanced its price so materially that one thousand acres of prime hardwood . was worth a small fortune, provided there` were .facilities for shipping the timber.

Having seen the great m-aple and beech._ the magnicent walnut and the yellow and` black and white oak, now worth many dollars a thousand. Hallibut was willing to pay a good price for the timber.
