I For yean and years old Zeke had : run a trapline upon the shores of 1 Rocky river and the surrounding 1 country. The unwritten law of the ' wilderness had given him possession 1 of this particular territory and, ‘ though many trappers had cast en- 1 vious eyes upon this choice trapping < ground, all had respected the ancient, 1 unwritten law and had refrained { from trespassing, with the exception 1 of one man—Stanton Prince. * Two years ago Stanton Prince, 1 Electric Toasters PYREX WARE Complete Assortment Ten Piece Set Decorated Pyrex Stevens Cash Hardware Coquille, Ore.
