The Sun, the creator of the universe, giver of light, heat, and life, and reverenced by every one, is often called Old Man, but there is another personality who bears the same name, but who is very different in his character.

He looked up at the wall nature had built across the canyon. This time it was not as an obstruction that he saw it but as a possible location for a dam.

And upon what grounds?" cried Alymer, flushing out in a rage.,It was sufficient. Bob walked off unconcernedly but as soon as dark had fallen he went to the appointed place.
