The second annual Fair given by Cong'l society was opened last Friday afternoon, running through until late Saturday evening.

The exhibitions were fine and the booths arranged in much better shape than lait year, making a better dis­play. Even the weather man was on his good bebvior and gave them two nice days and evenings which helped in the success. Everyone seemed in a jolly mood making the social part pleasant.

The many business men and others both in and out of town who contrib­uted to the fair have the thanks of the society for the same. Of course there were corn, potatoes", 'apples, pears, beets, cabbage, etc., and even a few beans in the produce department; and fancy work galore in that department. The ice cream and candy booths were well patronized.

Altogether it was an enjoyable at fair, and one Ion** to be remembere by those who attended. The society have realized about $50 from their memorial quilt which was sold at auction Saturday night for 15.50, to Mrs. J. A. Cad well. The society took in 1240.

The society wish to thank all who assisted in any manner towards mak­ing it a success, especially the Ham­burg people.

: upon the hotel porch uadef the fire of toqp&Wb*&*te*f w l t a ieto; easy nonchalance of n^anner'which feomei only with'long practice. ' He wa» the latest arrival., He lit his cigar and gazed with an indifferent curiosity

k upoa the crowd, Mr.. Salsbury Jenk-|a t waa aav x>heerver-~-especially of women; and a* speedily made up his mind that the girl in the pinU djmity at the end ol'-the 'pla«sirw|Brtlfcr one girt in fe* crpwd. HayihgresLfehed this conclusion he rested "not until he Had been formally, introduced. — haying

• been formally introduced he improved his opportunity.

A d a * or two later he sat on the railing looking down upon the girt, as she • • reclined in an- easy' chair. 8he laid'"flown a book, with' a 'sigh.

"WhaVdovydii+,thtnk o f i t f overfed Mr. Jenktns;r ' ^11 "'' " ^ '

/'Perfectly lovely,'* returned the girl. "Msatafson, the hero, is such a fine felk>w-rthe kind of man who's strong and braye and risks his life for women, aad really accomplishes things, 1 could fall in love with a man like that. I'm tired of the*rest— the kind who talk all day about books and the theater, the races and golf, Masterson was so different" • Mr. Jenkins winced. For two days he had held forth upon golf and the races, the theater and books. Still, he thought, complacently, of his man* ly appearance, and be considered that he would push Masterson, the book's hero, close for second place. But it was up to him now to make an im­pression—to prove his supremacy. He preferred to eclipse Masterson It possible, to this end he racked his brain.

Aad then—a sublime idea occurred to him; the more he thought of it the more he liked it—and as he con* templated it, he thought it must end in but one way—with the girl's arms around his neck, like the heroine's about the ceck of Masterson. This Idea was not entirely original—he had redd of it in fiction; but it was, ^he considered, without precedent in real life. It was to place the girl in a situation of apparent danger, from which, without danger to himself, he would gloriously rescue her.

It was.a great idea and Mr. Jenkins worked it out

"Well, mister," said the tramp, glancing doubtfully at Mr. Jenkins* well-padded shoulder "I'll tell you how it is. I istood up once to have a man knock me down for five dollars— it was Jona'L. what did i t An' he broke me nose. I dont want no more of i t I don't want you to use me rough." Mr. Jenkins reassured him.

"Well, then, I'll go you, mister. rm not much on Scaring women, but

r gestioa with' a glance which, -other person, would have been a stonv glare. Thia time he did not of* fer. He watched her disappear, in the woodland,path, and then he fol­lowed her. • The glen was a wild and weird-and tonejy plaee, especially after sun* down. Mr. Jenkins felt that keenly-— but he pressed on after the girl. Oc­casionally he caught glimpses of her —but finally he lost her.

Suddenly he heard a wild scream— a woman's scream—her scream. For an' instant it froze' his blood. /Then he braced up and sprinted on' ahead, shouting as * e went—he> the-^eliv—{-times-erer—ip a reassuring voice. He reached the spot. The first thing he saw jwas the girl—he caught sight of her through an opening in the leaves.

"What do you think of it?" Queried Mir. Jenkins. .

I s'poee Inceuld do it oa a pinch. All right. 111 go you. Oaly," he added, "don't you use me rough, aad dea't you bit aw on th* beak."

Next evening at sunset the girl set out for ^iftOcustomary walk through the glen. Bne jalways went alone; Mr. Balsbury Jtnktna had often offered] «0 go wtt£ bar; hut although excep-tioiially graciour to him. Lat, other ttaiav the had acka^wledfed: his n »

mister! No, no, no I Not oa the beak!"

She was standing near . a tree, her eyes opened wide with—Fright?—No, with interest She was gasing in­tently at some spectacle, Jenkins knew not what Her expression for an instant gave him pause. Then he stepped forward, cautiously, rath­er than Impetuously, as he had in­tended. As he did so, he heard fierce imprecations in one voice, guttural en­treaties in another. And then he saw that his tramp was being beaten and pounded unmercifully by some young giant, in the most approved .manner. For awhile the tramp put up a real or pretended resistance-then he weakened.

"Don't don't, mister," he pleaded. "Ain't yer got yer money's worth! Stop, Mister! No! no! no! not on the beak!" he screamed in agony. For his opponent had planted a vigorous blow upon that already fractured member. He followed it by another blow that sent the tramp sprawling. The tramp, seizing his chance, scram­bled to , his feet, and scampered through the underbrush and out of Bight

As he did so, the girl, with a cry. 8 prang forward and threw herself into the man's arms, clinging closely round his neck.

"Duncan—oh, Duncan!" she cried. "Duncan, my preserver!" The man held her close, nnd bent down and kissed her, not once, but many times. As he did so, Jenkins saw his face, and knew him. It was Kennedy-Duncan Kennedy, a mining engineer, a guest at the hot9l.

For the moment Mr. Jenkins was overcome. He sank upon the ground. When he recovered his equilibrium he found that they had disappeared,

[..but hearing the sound of voices on his right, he moved in that direction.

He came to a small opening. In the middle of it was aa old log.

On the log sat Kennedy and the girl.

"Dear little girl." the man was say­ing, "next time I'll come with you, in­stead of meeting you down here." It was the trysting place.

"Darn 'em," said Mr. Salsbury Jenkins to himself, "that's what's brought her down here every night!" - He carefully retraced his steps.

"Can you tell me," inquired Mr. Salsbury Jenkins later, of the hotel clerk, "what is the next train up to the city?"

The clerk looked . up, : "8U fifty* five," he replied. Then, seeiag who it was. "But »y» you're not -goJaf 4o k aeon? What's- mattert Net afraid of the gtrTtr

"Mahlstrom told me," said Gen. Moore yesterday, "that the snakes in Central America are torpid and stupid to a degree, though some of them are violent enough when disturbed. They often bite ^he wpodfeUer.s there, I never knew them to bite an overland trailer. I crossed the plains thirty years ago, and many-

since, in—the- freighting bust-ness. It was my experience that the sound of the approach of catr tie or/buffalo sent the snakea about their business* We lay on the ground where snakes were thick in our ab­sence, but scarce in our presence. Ai snake must have some sense, and he must reflect that whereas he might put a lone man to flight, he had not a ghost of a show with a herd of cattle i or btiffalo tramping him. So he runSI wh eh he hears the caravans coming. I • never knew them to bite a man while! I was going over the trail. I recollect • at one time running across a rattler. I was riding a mule. He woke up, heard the hoof beats and started off. A rattler cannpt run straight much, better than a Swede turnip cap roll straight. He wobbles, t h i s fellow was terrified, for he took off. A quick walk was as fast as he could go. I dis­mounted, pulled out my cap and ball revolver and began firing at him. The first shot clipped him and made him furious. He hissed and shook his tail with a vengeance. But he heard my mule and headed for tall grass. I think It was my fifth shot that broke his back. The snake is a coward."—Kan­sas City Journal.

Demonstration t o o Effective. Two maiden sisters of mature years

had been to a temperance lecture. . To demonstrate the - disastrous, effect of alcohol upon life, the lecturer had poured a portion of whisky into a glass which contained water and a mass of lively animalculae of different un­sightly shapes and sizes. The result of the mixture waa that the shoals of ugly looking fishes were soon be­reft of life and were seen floating helplessly in the water.

On. the" way home, when nearing a saloon one sister remarked to the other:

"Mary, will you go in and get some whisky?"

"Some whisky!" astonishingly re­marked the other.

"Yes, dear, for I really can never again drink water with all those hor­rible things floating about. I would rather drink them dead than alive."

jMilitlllu Kiiwwlsdgs Applied to Boll-r Ing Potatoes. 1 We often beat the remark that •ems would be cook "cannot boil

rtatoes." The truth is few cooks spare this dish properly, says Al-I Dynes Feaiing, B. S., in" Good

tousskeeping. The girl who under-itandifBciecoe-taowB that the po lo does not boil. The water boils, and the heat conveyed by this me­dium cooks the potato. Physics has taught her that under ordinary pres­sure water never becomes any warm­er after the boiling point (212 de-sprees F., 100 degrees G.) is reached. (Therefore she allows the water to remain at boiling temperature until the heat has penetrated and cooked 'the vegetable. She then removes the water at once and has a mealy, flaky potato. True, without her knowledge of science she might ob­tain the same result accidentally, but she is quite as likely to continue the cooking until the starch is part­ly dextrinized, and a gummy, sticky potato is the result. The unscien­tific cook is quite likely to endeavor to hasten the cooking process by adding fuel to the fire, thus causing .violent boiling, believing that she is thus attaining her object. She may cause the vegetable to break by the mechanical action of the water, or the liquid may splash over on the stove or pass off in steam, but in no case is the cooking accomplished in less time.

Candlesticks, Patent candlesticks have the ad­

vantage of being practical and keep­ing the candle burning always at the same height. -There is a tall silver piece extending above the candle­stick about the height of the can­dle. This is really a case for the candle, and beneath it is a strong spring. The candle is put inside the case, with only the wick appearing at the top. This is lighted, and as the candle burns down the spring below is constantly pressing up and holds the candle always in the same position, and, there is no gradual lowering of the light, as is the case with the ordinary candlestick when the candle burns down.

Charcoal as a Purifier. Housekeepers do not use charcoal

finough about their kitchens. A few pieces of charcoal laid in the refrig­erator absorb impurities in the air.

TREASURY "TWO HAT MEN." •<»»•

The reform crusade inaugurated by Secretary Shaw against malinger? ars, gamblers and other discredlta*

The Gink. Upon the proper care of the sink

the healthfulness of the kitchen largely depends. It is possible to keep the sink fresh ana clean by using copperas and water or by us­ing ammonia. One pound of cop­peras dissolved in a gallon of boil­ing water is the right solution, and one cupful of this to a quart of hot water makes a good daily wash for the sink. Strong and oheap ammo­nia is first rate tor cleaning out the pipe when poured down it undilut­ed, butjif you like a painted sink nothing is much better than kero­sene on to rub over the paint and brighten it.

Uek Out For Fever. Billiousness and liver disorders at

this season may be prevented by cleansing the system with De Witts Little Early Risers. These famous little pills do not gripe. They move the bowels gently bat copiously and by reason of the tonic properties give tone and strength to the glands.

W. B. Darrow.

ble employees of the treasury de­partment has resulted, among other things, in unearthing a description of malingerers known as "two hat men."

The "two hat man" is, as his name indicates, a man who wears two hats <~-not both at once, but separately.

When the "two hat man" arrives in -the office in- the morning, he appar* ently has only one hat, which he removes and hangs upon a peg. Later-in the day the "two hat man" becomes possessed of a desire to drop the business of the treasury department for,awhile. He leaves his hat on the peg, walks out of the office, pulls a soft hat out of his pocket, puts it on and stays out as long as he pleases. If his chief no­tices his absence, a glance at the hat hanging on the peg is sufficient to assure anybody that the clerk is still in the department building and presumably attending to biisinessol some kind.

The "two hat" scheme has only been discovered within the past week, and as a result the,officials have be­come so exacting that it is danger­ous for a person known to be a "two hatter" to leave his room even on business of the office. — New York Times Washington Letter.

Knitting at i Medicine. Knitting is declared by specialists

fa the treatment of rheumatism to j be a most helpful exswiat for hands; liable to become stiff from the com- j plaint, and it is being prescribed by; physicians because of its efficiency in limbering up the hands of such sufferers. For persons liable to cramp, paralysis or any other affec­tion of the fingers of that character knitting is regarded as a most bene­ficial exercise. Besides, the simple work is said to be an excellent di­version for the nerves and is recom­mended to women suffering from in-somnia anoTae^ression. La certain sanitariums patients are encouraged to make use of the bright steels, and the work is so pleasant that it is much enjoyed by them.—Family Doctor.

Out of Death's Jaws. 44When death seemed very near

from a veiy severe stomach and liver trouble, that I suffered with for years writes P. Muse, Durham, N 0., "Dr. King's New Life Pills saved my life and gave perfect health." Best pills oireartta^rad only 25c at 8igler's drug store.

Fire Screens. Pretty fire screens are cheaply

made by having-the home carpenter fashion » frame of pine the desired size in one piece, which is generally 3G inches high and 30 inches wide, mounted on projecting feet finished with rollers. Enamel the frame with two coats of ivory, cream, gray, brown, turquoise or pale blue enam­el paint and when perfectly dry add a curtain of plain or figured india silk in harmony with the furnish­ings of the room, running it on lit­tle brass rods, top and bottom, and having a tiny ruffle above the rod.

Natural Anxiety. Mothers regard approaching winter

with uneasiness, childten take cold so easily. No disease costs more little iives than croup. It's attack is so sud­den that the sufferer is often beyond human aid before the doctor arrives, such cases yield redify to One Minute Coogb Cure. Liquifies the mucous, allays the infiamation and removes danger. Absolutely safe, acts imme-diotely. Cores coughs, colds, bronchi­tis, all throat and Inn? troubles. F. 3. McMahon Hampton, Ga.: "A bad co'd rendered toe voice!e« jolt before-an oratorical contest. I intended to with* draw hut took One Minute Cough Cure. It restored myvoice in time to win the medal." W. KDarrow.

•alt and toe For Freezing. If the coarse salt and ice used to

freeze ice cream are mixed together m a separate vessel and the mixture then packed around the freezer can, the result will be much better than If put in layers without previous mixing. One-third salt is used to two-thirds ice unless freesing a frappe or mousse, which is mushy rather than hard frozen. For this ase ice and salt half and half. When the freezing compound is firmly packed down without air spaces, there is much less waste than if it is put in carelessly. Another thing to avoid is too rapid turning of the freezer. It is the even grindstone movement, not the coffee mill swing, that is required.

The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing tbe praises

of Kodol the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into tbe kind of pure, rich red blood tbat makes yon feel good all o?er. Mrs. Cranfill of Troy, 1. T. writes: For a number of yearrs I was troubled with indigestion and dyspep­sia which grew into the worst form. Finally I was induced to use Kodol and after using four bottles I am en­tirely cured. I heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals It digests what yen eat.

How 8moke Is Utilized. In Brussels, Ma lines and other

Belgian towns a novel method of not only getting rid of smoke, but turning it to good account, has re­cently been employed. The smoke is driven by a ventilating fan into a filter filled with porous material. over which a continuous stream of petroleum, benzine, alcohol or some liquid hydrocarbon flows. The re­sult is that the smoke is entirely suppressed, while the filter yields a gas of great heating power, which can be used for domestic purposes and for driving i gas engines. The filtering material itself also becomes a good combustible during the proc­ess.

Rough on Lord Russell. Halle, the musician, used to relate

that the catalogue of an art exhibi­tion held in Manchester, England, in 1856 was full of absurd errors. One picture, for instance, represent­ing a madman sitting unclothed on the bare ground with his arms clinched round his knees, was la­beled "Portrait of Lord John Rus­sell." Halle declared that after contemplating the so called portrait of the statesman for.some time an old man was heard to - "Jt with becoming gravity, "P^oably when he was ottt of office."

Too Much Water Did Not Appeal to the Man Frorti Maryland.

They were seated i t a round table in the biggest room in the Maryland Club, the glasses in front of them newly primed, the Smoke from their-cigars curling upward, while they list­ened to the yarns of the man from Arizona. He had told them stories of hunting, of mining, of train, rob­beries and the like, and now he.rwas holding forth, on the wonders cut irri­gation, f

MNo one," said he, "can properly ap­preciate, the wonders it has worked in the central part of our state, where the desert has been literally made to 'blossom as the rose.' More than 125,000 acres in the.Salt river valley aloBft 003- blqqm with , mlma, aJAaifa* trees, orange groves and other foli­age, while grass and gix*r*«g croups of grain, Vegetables^ and'^ha^ Vike cpy r the fields where a few years ago no^ a vestige of_green was.to be seen on the^buming a»nd qf the great desert. . Three large cities, one the capital of the state, have sprung up; two rail­roads have been built Into the district to carry.,away' the surplus product; and |3O,OQ0,OO has been added to the wear» of* this* great country o f ours. All this has been accomplished by ir­rigation, by bringing water in ditches and distributing it where it will do the most good.

"To accomplish this we have ex­pended $3,000,000 and dug hundreds of miles of ditches. There is much

yet to be done, however, in our neigh­borhood, it being estimated that no less than 400,000 acres await reclma-tion in that immediate vicinity. .. .

"The venture has proved immensely profitable, too, and our farmers are perhaps the most prosperous in the. world. I know of np better place la. this country for capital seeking, in-, vestment." And-he paused to note the effect of Ills suggestion.

Morgue Keeper a Humorist One of the Queerest of French au­

thors, Clovis Pierre, died this week. He was a poet whose talent would have received recognition doubtless even if the contrast between his vo­cation and. his avocation had not tickled the fancy of the Parisians. He lived and wrote his poetry at the morgue, of which he was registrar. He was a merry soul who found most of his inspiration in the corpses in his care and .who used to describe himself as the manager of a big hotel well known to Paris, which was a quiet place of rest for travelers from all countries. lie dwelt at the morgue for thirty-two years before he retired on a pension.

Poetry may bring returns—if stamp is inclosed with. it.

THEY WOULD NOT RETREAT*

Horse Battery.Kept on Firing Al­though Constructively Dead*

Among the: amusing features of the recent mimic war one Incident is re­counted by' Adjt. Gen. Thomas Barry, chief of staff, as one of the most un­usual conflicts. In the history of war. Among the points defended by the army was a signal station on Montauk Point. Here was stationed a horse battery, intended to cover the signal corps and also to be able to withdraw in case of serious attack. This latter duty was not fully comprehended by the gallant artillerymen..... According­ly, when the Kearaarge, the Alabama, the Brooklyn, the Olympia and all the other big ships of the fleet sailed.up and opened their batteries on the; sig­nal station, bringing into play every gun, from the 13-lnch to the rapid-fire ones, the defenders, of the share dis­played no intention of retreat.

Wheeling their two small cannon into point blank range, they returned the fire of the combined fleet. Faster and faster came , the shots of the horse artillery. Theoretically they were annihilated; practically, they were only spurred to stilL greater ac­tivity. Not until the umpires signal­ed them to stop firing, and later in­formed them that they were all dead, did t he brave gunners pause. Not since the day of the Matanzas mule has so unequal a fight been waged BO successfully.

says: «1 made a public sUtament in 1897, .laying that Doan't Sidney pjiij had cored a member of our family altar he bad suffered tor years' with a weak back Md kidney {rouhlea; W toor thrW ^ ^ ¾ remedy and was complete!* Uty^Mjlbv threa years' hare elapsed since., I made this sfcaiement and I am only tq6 pleased to' relndorse i t t have' atso used Dean's Kidney Pills myself, obtaialng the beat results- I have recommaadod this remedy to nry friends tAfi neigh­bors as one which can always be de? pended upon."

Obtained Instant re­lief and a permanent cure by using the contents of one bottle of 8 t Ja­cobs OIK There is no other remedy la. the world that will do this, The in­stantaneous effect which St Jacobs Oil produces is a part of lta,half a century record." St. Jacobs Oil is sold in 25 cts. and 60 cts. sizes by all druggists. The words "Acts like Magic," "Con­quers Pain," which have been used In connection with S t Jacobs Oil for more than 60 years are wonderfully and truly descriptive . , - . . . .

«Why didat they come here?" "- "WelL ye see* they're a little off their feed. Their peddles are bent an' their-feaC don* track—all from foln* orer d' rocfcs and snow until d' skin's worn off."

Ethel seised her own and her hus­band's cap, saying:

''Let m hasten to Olum's ahanty." ^As you say, my dear. Come, we

will go at once and learn all we can," They closed up their house, and,

accompanied by Dick and Old, hasten-' ed away toward the shanty of old plum Ralston.

They reached the lower part of the camp, which had grown to quite a Tillage 6t shanties. Great' fires were biasing In pits. These were fires built to thaw the ground so the miners could dig it up and wash i t '

4 small knot of people were gath­ered in front of Glum Ralstbh's shanty, talking in strange whispers,

'nodding and gesticulating in a'man­ner which indicated that some matter Of great moment was under discus­sion.

Clarence and Ethel passed through the throng and entered the shanty. Here a sight, met their gaze calculated to awaken their profoundest sym­pathy, rtour dark-skinned young men whose once robust frames had been worn awa^to s^letong- were reclin­ing on pSefi of J^cina, filling their empty stomachs with food placed, be­fore them,; .

"Where are you from?" Clarence asked.

"From the island of Metlakahtla," one answered.

"Hare, you come direct from there?" "No." . "Where hare you been?" "We were lost in the woods for a

long time and almost perished from cold and hunger. We wanted to wait until spring, but he did not. He had been detained for »9 many months that he'would wait no longer. He said months and years were rolling over his head since he had seen her of written to her." . "Of whom are you speaking?"

"He called himself Crack-lash." "Paul— Paul J It is Paul!" cried

Ethel, clapping her hands in delight "Hush, dear; let us be sure," whis-

, pered Clarence, then turned to further interrogate the stranger.

"What kind of a young man was this Crack-lash?"

"Like you, only darker; that's all." "Well; how did he reach your

island?" "Come on an ice boat?** "Iceboatr \ "Yes—great mountain of ice. He

was on ice/* • A\^ .••.'>> \ "He surely means *n Iceberg," said

Clarence, fixing his eyes on Olum Ralston. The old man nodded his head and said: , ' "There ain't no doubt of It. He means an iceberg.'

"If he does, then this man he calls Crack-lash is none other than Crack-lash Paul."

"You're correct, mate," Glum Rals­ton answered, with a nod of his head.

The Indian then took another sip or two of the soup and told > how on the war they had captured one of the men who had robbed him. They had crossed a mountain range and were making their way toward the Yukon, when they were all four drawn off on a moose trail.

On their return, they vwere enable to find neither the prisoner Crack-lash nor the mysterious captain, who had years before'been oa their island, but had been abducted by two of his own sailors, one of whom they had cap­tured; and Crack-lash recognised him as one of the robbers. It was a long story, and took a long time to tell it Paul's fate was unknown, .but the •chances were he was a prisoner or dead in the foseaV

he uttered a cry and pronounc-.ckland's name that indiridual

askef: -"Vtyo are you?' %t-he had heard that, voice and

knew*'the man.'it! was Paul Miller transformed^ mto a wild man.'' Paul glaredj ferocioualy at the men whom he hag nxst welcomed aa friends. •

"Dujh't come—don't approach me!w

he hissed, his eyes flashing with Uro. "I understand your derilish, malleioua designs upon me, and I will shoot you dead if you come too close."

"I have come to find you, my dear friend. The dog courier bore the mes­sage to us that you were perishing in the woods, and we set out to find you."

Paul grew weak and dizzy, and, sit­ting down on the snow, gasped:

"I didn't know it would fall Into your hands, or 1 would have perished in the- woods before I sent it"

Lackland gave Cummins a wink and continued to hold the attention of Paul, while his hireling slipped behind him to attack him from the rear.

"You misapprehend us, Paul," con­tinued Lackland. "We don't intend any harm to you. You are sick; you are almost perishing, but we want to 8sve you."

"I don't want to be saved by such as you. Go on, I say; and 1 will make my way .to Dawson City' alotffe:"

Cummins at this moment seized him from behind. Paul made a desperate struggle to free himself, but famine, suffering and toil bad overcome him completely, and he soon lay breath­less on the snow.

T am sent by Miss Laura Kean, who is in Juneau, waiting for you, to conduct you to her."

"It's a lie! Oh, my heavens, I know it is a lie, and I am unable to resist.1'

The name of the woman he loved pronounced by the lips he hated most seemed to have filled him with rage, and he struggled like a madman to break away from his captors. Two more came to the assistance of Cum­mins, and they threw him upon the snow with such force that when they lifted his body his head fell back. Paul was Insensible. The blood was trickl­ing from a wound in his forehead, and dyeing the virgin snow.

"Thunder. I'm afraid he is dead!" Lackland declared.

They carried him down the moun­tain aide for mile, where there was a grove of pines, and, calling a halt, built a fire. He then sent for a sled to take the wounded man back to camp.

"Cummins," said Lackland, "nosv comes the finest scheming we have ever done."

"What is it?" \ "We must keep them separate." "Who?" "The wounded man and the girl. I

also want to separate the old woman from the young woman, and I think I have hit upon a scheme that will be sure to win. This fellow will need a nurse, and I will coax the old wo­man to stay with him."

The sled was brought and Paul, who had recovered, but was delirious, was placed on it. He had every symptom of brain fever. Lackland began to speculate on the chances of his recov­ery, and decided they were slim.

They conducted him to a place on the lake two miles above the present camp and set his men to work build­ing a hut for the wounded man.

After seeing the sufferer comfort­able In the rude yfhmnty constructed for him, and setting some Indians to cutting wood to supply him, Lackland went to the camp where Laura had been left.

Then, with a face deeply furrowed with anxiety he waited on Miss Kite Willis and said:

"My good woman, I came to ask a favor of you."

Kate gave, him a doubting glance, and said to a snappish maimer:

"What is it?" "I almost hesitate, for the request

is a serious one. 'We found a poor,

bceught Kate back. Hex heart wae filled with sympathy foe the unfortunate young: man.

"tSwiB go with Kate'," declared

IJHi \o, no, child, the shanty ain't big enoogh i- besides, I don't want ye to be

us animal than a human befog; womrnVjera^f^atay here. Hell be better soon, for I see a sign in his favor. The tumln' point is 'bout reached."

She waa* easily persuaded to wait another day before she called on the sick man. Laura little dreamed that the unconscious stranger whom her companion wasf nursing was the" one her fond*, loving heart longed for. Thus, in blissful ignorance of the peril of her Paul, she waited.for the, train to move on. She had J¥»tf» Jp|U| to wait Next morning, long' before It was Sight, she waa" awakened by the noias of Esquimau teamsters and yelping dogs and cracking whine.

She hurriedly dressed and gazed out into the starless night She saw an­gry clouds gather about the mountain peaks, and the air was full of flakes.

"Sled ready," the Esquimau chatter­ed.

She made haste to get ready to take her place on it. All was bustle and confusion. Laura looked in vain for the face of some one she knew. For the first time in her life'the face of Lackland would have been welcome.

"Where Is he? Where is Lack­land?" she asked.

"Um, boss gone," the Esquimau an­swered.

"Where is she? Where is Kate? I do not .want to, go without.her; I will not go alone," cried Laura, begining to fear treachery.

"Holt!" shouted the Esquimau,and crack went his whip, and the dogs bounded forward like the wind.

"Stopf Ho)d;;" she shrieked, but her voice was lost on the raging,Wind,, and she went soaring away into the night and beating snow.

Meanwhile Paul lay ononis hard pal­let of skMs asleep, with his faithful nurse at his aide, her eyes on the face of the sufferer. He was sleeping peacefully. The fever had almost -abated, and his brow was less flushed.

The woman held the lamp closer to his face and muttered:

"He is getting better."

CHAPTER XIV. Kate for Harmony.

Morning dawned amid a raging snowstorm, but thanks to the logs and frozen mud with which the little cabin had been daubed, the patient was comfortable,

Kate brought some warm broth and gave him a few spoonfus, and he whispered:

"Where am I?" "I don't know. Somewhere in that

everlastin' cold, snowln' country call­ed Alaska; but I couldn't give ye the metes and bounds if I was to try."

"Who are you?" he whispered., lt... "I'm Kate Willis, the woman that

washes for a living at Seattle. I'm on my way to Klondyke to start a laundry."

"Who are you with?" "Well, there's a hull passel in our

crowd, but I don't know many o' 'em. Ye'd better be quiet, an' when yer better ye kin git acquainted with 'em."

Paul acquiesced in her plan by sim­ply nodding his head and closing his eyes, and she resumed her work. When he aWoae there was a marked change in hfs manner, and he was re­gaining his strength. She brought him, some more broth, and, after he had taken a few spoonfuls, he said:

"Did .yon say you came from Seat* tie?"

"Yea.:* v "Who brought me here?". "It was the boas of the train that's

goin' to the Klondyke, I reckon hell be here after awhile an' then ye can see him yourself.. I don't .think ye ought to \ talk too much."

"Yes—I ought not. They struck me on the head."

He shut his eyes and tried to sleep and she went to the door of the little cabin. All was clear. She law one of the Indians loitering, near lag called to him and ordered him t* g* to the next camp and ascertain \ fat had detained the dog sled.
