hill.In the afterro:n bombs were fired which, when they burst.threw out fumes that choked and blinded \u201ceyes.This was followed by spouting liquid flames, At 4 in th: af'enon heavy columns of infantry were rushed to the attack and a desperate struggle ensued.The French claim that at every roint the attack failed and the Germats driven back with heavy ]osses.The Berlin report claims the Germans gained some ground at two places.At St Eloi trench fight ng was going on.The Canadians have taken about 85 prisonera in recent operations, mostly youths of a very mixed corps.Some of th m have told the Canadians that they were forced .into the fight by being awed by their own machine guns.The Canadians are flanked on both sides by two of the strongest British divisions.WHAT A SOLDIER TELLS Paris, April 7.\u2014A wounded artillery officer informed me today that the Germans are losing just as many men in their attempt to turn the Le Mort Homme position as they did to reach the fringe of th: Doaaumont plateau, The Wednesday battle, he said, degenerated into a sheer massacre of some of the Kaiser\u2019s best troops.About 50,000 men, including the Fourteenth Hanoverians.Whose flag js decorated with the Iron Cross.and the Second Bavarians whose honorary Colonel is Prince Rupprecht, hurled themselves against our Bethincourt and Hau- court salients, In point of numbers and ferocity of fighting this battle was the most important since that of March 7.when at Vaux we tore a gash in the German ranks which never can be repaired.Wednesday's onslaughts lasted seven hours, during which the Germans attacked ten times.They failed completely to take Bethincourt despite the fact that our few defenders had to submit to a continuous cross fire.Once they got within sixty yards »f our first houses, when our thren-inch guns suddenly opened on them at short range, I cannot recall what happened without a shudder.Within five minutes the whole attacking column bit the dust, and that was the last effort the enemy made against Bethncourt that day.Farther west \u2018they managed to bend in our line slightly, capturing Haucourt, which is a quarter of a mile south of Malancourt but it cost them mound after mound of dead and dying, andall they got were shapeless heaps of bricks.which from Hill number 304 our guns now rake from end to eryl, |] Toronto.April 9,\u2014Recognition of Canadian gallantry by French officers is recorded in a lefter.Everybody in my corps, from the private soldiers to the highest officers, knows how gallantly the Canadians acted ,and knows equal- lv well that without them the Germans would have reached Calais.There is not the slightest doubt about that.\u201d said General d'Oissee of the 36th French Army co.ps, when presenting medals of the French Legion of Honor to 28 Canadian officers of the first contingent.General d'Oissee\u2019s men were on the left of the Canadian divis.on when the gas attack was launched.Each officer was struck on each shoulder by the [lat sword of the general, and was then kissed on each cheek.A late despatch from Deadman\u2019s hill states that for three days th.Germans have hammered the French defences with flame-throw- ers.shells containing irritating chemicals.and every weapon of their armory ,but the lines stand firm ani unbroken, and the Ge:- mans, crippled by heavy losses have been forced to pause for rest and to fill their.depleted ranks.Lhe Bris war oiiice ai no nos the continuance of grenade fighting at St Eloi in which the tide of fortune is apparently sweeping back and forth.At the moment o! the

O'Connor hall by Mons.G.Marcel Andre of Paris.France.The lecture was entitled \u201cOn the Firing Line with the French and British Artaies.\u201d\u201d and was illustrated (with limelight views of war scenes, There was a large gathering and §71 was taken in_ $21.40 of which goes to the aid of the Huntingdon Red Cross Branch society.\u2014On Tuesday evening a sugar social was held in the Methodist church lecture room, under the auspices of the Epworth League.A program was given firat, opening by n selection from the orchestra.Songs Wero réndered Ly Mesars Cole and MacMillan, readings by Mrs W.F.Stephen.Mirs Goadfellow, Mr Carr, and Dr Clouston on Magic and Mind Reading and addresses by Rev.Isaac Norman and Mr Stephen.After the program ho! sugar was served, The proceeds amounted to $7.70, \u2014A most unexpected accident happened Wednesday morning.Shortly after five o'clock the wal of the flume at the grist-mill, stretching betweon the sawmil and the stone mill tell into the river with a great crash, It was built several years ago of Iarge stones, bedded in cement, and wis considered a good job.Tho cause of its falling cannot be definitely known until the witer goes down and the foundation examined.The present belief is.that water hai found its way in several places between the stones and so weakened the wall that it was unable to withstand the pressure of the high water that has prevailed for a fortnight, There aro about fifty feet gone and nothing ean be done to rebuild the wall until there is low water, With characterist'c pluck, the Hunter brothers at once set to Work to secure the material to rebuild the wall, which will ths time be concrete.The stoppage of the mills and factory ,will inconvenience many farmers and ina blow to the village.A number of hands will be out of work until the wheels are going again.The Hunters have met losses before nud overcame them with an energy and spirit that is admirable.\u2014The merchants have decided to close their stores three nights in the week instead of (wo.It is regretcable that a few sti.l refuse o come into line, for they are huri- ing a good cause without benefitting themselves.In Kingrton only places of amusement and restaurants are open after six o'clock, and the people appear to live as.well as we do.: ~The latest number of Farm an | Dairy is devoted to the dairy nd appropriately enough gives an excellent picture of John Logan's farm with a few of his grand Ayr- shires in front, Within a circle of ten miles there are more purebred Ayrshires to be found in Chateau- guav county than in any similar space in the \u2018Dominion.The nun.- ber extols the milking-machine.giving much information about it, \u2014During the past month probably 20 dogs have died from poisoning.Someone is apparently feeding them strychnine.A few dogs less will not be missed, but poisoning is an inhuman practice.We may note that not one dog in the village pays taxes.\u2014On Thesday evening District Deputy Couper, accompanjed by a dozen officers and members from Montreal and other [odgos, paid his official visit to Chateauguay Lodge.A.F.& AM, The visitors were well pleased with the work done by the lodge.and after the business of the evening had been disposed of the brethren repaired to the Moir house , Mrs McGil again demonstrated her ability to prepare a ffrst-class dinner.The program that followod it Was ir- teresting and was greatly helped by the presence of the MacMillan orchestra, Over forty-five Macois were present, \u2014The store of B.W, Allen was entered on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and a quarm- tity of jewelry stolen, the safe was not touched.Admission was ' gained by picking the Jock of the front door.so the thief mustheup to his business.Wednesday morning while waiting for the N.Y.C.train.a man Was noticed to sp'll some jewelry from his pocket, bit no one knowing about th: robbe.y he was not accosted.As a good jeseription is to be \u2018had and Maon- treal was his destination, Lis arre.t will likely follow.The faithfulness of a dog belonging to J.B, Thussereault, of Valleyfield, resulted on Sunday in the disenvery .of the dead Lody of ite master in the woods atort five miles from Valleyfield, Thue- sereault having fallen a vietimto his own gun, Thussereault started out hunting Saturday morning.When he did not return that night his wife became alarmed and sent her son out with two cousins to search for him.After searching through the woods for several hours, they had reached a point about five miles out when they heard the howiing nfa dog.Going in the direction of the sound, they shortly came upon the animal sitting near the dead body of h's master.The gun lay pearby, and the enow was stained with blood, which had poured {rom a wound in Thussereauit\u2019s chest.The three searchers returned to Valleyfield and potified Dr Besner, coroner of the district.The body ,was carried to Thussereault\u2019's home and an inquest was held yesterday.A verdict of accidertal death was returned.Thussereault had but one arm, the other having been +ost some yearsago ina mill aceident at Cedars.He mar- nged very weil with a gun, but the handicap is supposed to have resulted in the accident.He is survived by a widow and seven children, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DWELLING -HOUSE FOR SALE With all modern convenience.situated on Wellington

for a breath destinies | lie In the laps of the gods und are hb jumbled, heads or tails.Thus are marked distinctive cycles like the seven ages of a man, and, though perhaps thev are too subtle ta be perceived st the time, yet, naving swung past the shadowy milestones, the epochs dis close themselves.Such a period In the progress of the far northwest was the 10th day of July, although to those concerned in the building of this new empire the day appealed only as the date of the .coming of the law.All Nome gathered on the sands as lighters brought ashore Judge Stillman and his following.It was held fitting that the Senator should be the ship to safeguard the dignity of the first court aud to introduce Justice into this land of the wild.The interest awakened ty bis honor was augmented by the fact that Le was met on the beach by a charming girl, who flung herself upon him with evident delight.\u201cThat's his nlece,\u201d sald some one.\u201cShe came up on the first boat.Nume's Chester.Swell looker, eh?\u201d Another newcomer attracted even more notice than the limb of the law; a gigantic, well groomed man, with keen, close set eyes and that indeân- able easy movement and polished bearing that come from confidence, health and travel.Unlike the others, he did not dally on the beach or display mucb Interest in bis surroundings, but with purposeful frown strode through the press up into the heart of the city.His companion was Struve's partner, Dunhain, a middle aged, pompous wan, They went directly to the offices of Dunham & Struve, where they found the white haired junior partner.\u201cMighty glad to meet you, Mr.Mc- Namara,\u201d sald Struve.\u201cYour name is a household word In my part of the country.My people were mixed up in Dakota politics somewhat, so I've always had a great admiration for you, ; and I'm glad you've come to Alaska.This is a big country.and we need : big men.\u201d \u201cDid you have any trouble?\u2019 Dun- ham inquired when the three had adjourned to a private room, \u201cTrouble,\u201d said Struve ruefully.\u201cWell, I wonder if 1 did.Mlss Chester Lrought me your instructions O.K.and 1 got busy right off.But tell me this\u2014how did you get the gir! to act as messenger?\u2019 \u201cThere was no one else to send,\u201d answered McNamara.\u201cDunbam intended salllng on the first boat, but he was detained in Washington with me, and the judge had to waft for us at Seattle.We were afraid to trust a stranger for fear he might get curious and examine the papers.That would have meant\u2019\u2014 He moved bis hand elo quently.Struve nodded.\u201cI see.Does she know what was in the documents?\u2019 \u201cDecidedly not.Women and business don't mix.I hope you didn't tell her auything.\u201d \u201cNo; I haven't had a chance.She seemed to take a dislike to me for some reason.I haven't seen her since the day after she got here.\u201d \u2018The judge told her it had something to do with preparing the way for his court,\u201d said Dunham, \u201cand that if the papers were not delivered before he arrived It might cause a lot of trouble \u2014litigation, riots, bloodshed and all that.He filled her up on generalities till the girl was frightened to denth and thought the safety of her uncle and the whole country depended on her.\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d continued Struve, \u201cit's dead easy to hire men to jump claims, and it's dead easy to buy their rights afterward, particularly when they know they haven't got any.But what course do you follow when owners go gunning for you?McNamara laughed.\u201cWho did that?\u201d \u201cA benevolent, silver haired old Texan pirate by the name of Dextry.He's one-half owner in the Midas and the other half mountain lion, as peaceable, you'd imagine, as a& benediction, but with the temperament of a Geronimo.I sent Galloway out to relocate the claim, and he got his notices up in the night when they were asleep, but at ¢ a.m.he came flying back to my room and pearly hammered the door down.I've seen fright in varied forms and phases, but he had them all, with some Added starters.* \u2018Hide me out, quick! he panted.\u201cWhat's up?I asked.* \u2018I've stirred up a breakfast of grizzly bear, smallpox and sudden deatb, and it don\u2019t set well on my stummick.Let me in.\u2019 \u201cI had to keep him hidden three days, for this gentle mannered old cannibal roamed the streets with a cannon In his hand, breathing fire and pestilence.\u201d \u201cAnybody else act up?\u2019 queried Dun- ham.\u201cNo; all the rest are Bwedes, and they baven\u2019t got tbe nerve to fight They couldn't lick a spoon if they tried.These other men are different, though.There are two of them-the old one and a young fellow.I'm a little afraid to mix it up with them, and if their claim wasn\u2019t the best in the district I'd say let it alone.\u201d \u201cI'll attend to that,\u201d sald McNamara, 8truve resumed: \u201cYes, gentlemen, I've been working pretty hard and also pretty much in the dark so far.I'm gropibg for light.When Miss Chester brought in the papers 1 got busy instanter.I clouded the title to the richest placers in the region, but I'm blamed if I quite see the use of it.We'd be throwa out of any court in the land 1f we took them to law.What's the game\u2014blackmail ?\u201d \u201cHumph!\u201d ejaculated McNamara.\u201cWhat do you take me for?\u2019 \u201cWell, it does seem small for Alec McNamara, but I can\u2019t see what else you're up to.\u201d \u201cWithin a week I'll be running every good mine in the Nome district.\u201d McNamara's voice was calm, but decisive, bis glance keen and alert, while about him clung such a breath of power and confidence that it compelled beilef even in the face of this astounding speech.In spite of himself Wilton Struve, lawyer, rake and gentlemanly adven turer, felt his beart leap at what the others daring implied.The proposition was utterly past belief, and yet, looking into the man's purposeful eyes, be believed, \u201cThat's big\u2014awful big\u2014too big,\u201d the younger man murmured.\u201cWhy, man, it means you'll handle $50,000 a day!\u201d Dunham shifted his feet in the at lence and licked his dry lips.\u201cOf course it's big, but Mr.McNamara\u2019s the biggest man that ever came to Alaska,\u201d he said \u201cAnd I've got the biggest scheme that ever came north, backed by the biggest men In Washington,\u201d continued the poîttician.\u201cLook here!\u201d He Gis- played a typewritten sheet bearing parallel lists of names and figures.puruve gasped rncreduiousry.\u201cThose are my stockholders, and that is their share in the venture, Ob, jeu, were incorporated\u2014under the laws of Arizona; secret, of course.It would never do for the names -to get : out I'm showing you this only be- | cause I want you to be satisfied who's behind me,\u201d | \u201cLord, I'm satisfled,\u201d said Btruve, laughing nervously.\u201cDunham was with you when you figured the scheme out, and he met some of your friends in Washington and New Yo.If he says It's all right, that settles it.But, say, suppose anything went wrong { with the company and it leaked out who those stockholders are?| \u201cThere's no danger.| bave the ! books where they will be burned at the first sign.We'd have had our own land laws passed but for Sturtevant of | Nevada, curse him.He blocked us In the senate.However, my plan is this\u201d He rapidly outlined his proposition to the listeners, while a light of admiration grew and shone in the reckless face of Struve.\u201cBy heavens, you're a wonder!\u201d he cried at the close.\u201cAnd I'm with you body and soul.It's dangerous\u2014that's why I like it.\u201d \u201cDangerous?McNamara shrugged | his shoulders.\u201cBah! Where Is the danger?We've got the law, or, rather, we are the law.Now, let's get to work.\u201d It seemed that the boss of North Dakota was no sluggard, He discarded coat and walgtcoat and tackled the documents which Struve Inid before him, going through them llke a whirl wind.Gradually he infected the others with his energy, and soon behind the locked doors of Dunham & Struve there were only haste and fever and plot and intrigue.As Helen Chester led the judge toward the flamboyant.three storied hotel she prattled to him light heartedly.The fascination of n new land already held her fast, and now she felt, in addition, security and relief.Glentster saw them from a distance and strode forward to greet them.He beheld a man of perhaps threescore years, benign of aspect save for the eyes, which were neither clear nor ' steady, but had the trick of looking past one.Glenister thought the mouth, too, rather weak and vacillating, but .head striklug the boards with a hollow the clean shaven face was dignified by - learning and acumen and was wrinkled In pleasant fashion.\u201cMy niece has just told me of your service to her\u2019 the old gentleman Le gan.\u201cI am happy to know you, sir.\u201d \u201cBesldes belng a brave knight and assisting ladles in distress, Mr.Glenls- ter is a very great and wonderful man,\u201d Tileleu explained lightly.\u201cHe owns the Midas.\u201d ! \u201cIndeed!\u201d sald the old man, bis shifting eyes wow resting full on the other with a flash of unmistakable Interest.\u2018I bear that fs a wonderful mine.Have you begun work yet?\u2019 \u201cNo.We'll commence slulcing day after tomorrow.It has been a lute spring.The snow In the guleb wus deep and the grouml thaws slowly.We've been bullding houses and dolug dead work, but we've got our men on the ground walting.\u201d \u201cI am greatly interested.Won't you walk with us to the hotel?I want to hear more about these wonderful placers.\u201d \u201cWell, they are great placers,\u201d sald the miner as the three walked on tos gether.\u201cNobody kuows how great Le- cause we've only scratched at them yet In the first place, the ground is so shallow and the gold is so easy to get that if nature didn't safeguard us In the winter we'd never dare leave our claims for fear of \u2018snipers.\u2019 They'd run In and rob us.\u201d \u201cHow much will the Anvil creek mines produce this summer?\u2019 asked the judge.» \u201cIt's bard to tell, sir, but we expect to average $5,000 a day from the Midas alone, and there are other claims Just as good.\u201d \u201cYour title is all clear, I dare say, eh?\u201d \u201cAbsolutely except for one jumper, and we don\u2019t take him seriously.A fellow named Galloway relocated us one night last month, but he didn't allege any grounds for doing so, and we could never find trace of him.If we bad, our title would be as clean as snow again.\u201d He sald the last with a peculiar Inflection.\u201cYou wouldn't use violence, I trust?\u201d \u201cSure! Why not?It has worked all right heretofore.\u201d \u201cBut, my dear sir, those days are gone.The law Is here, and it is the duty of every one to abide by it.\u201d \u201cWell, perhaps It is, but in this country we consider a man's mine as sacred as bis family.We didn't know what a lock and key were in the early times, and we didn't have any troubles except famine and hardship.Its different now, though.Why, there have been more clalms Jumped around here this spring than In the whole length and history of the Yukon.\u201d They had reached the hotel, and Glenister paused, turning to the girl as the judge entered.\u2018When she started to follow, he detained her.\u201cI came down from the hills on purpose to see you.It has been a long week\" \u2014 \u201cDon\u2019t talk that way,\u201d she interrupt ed coldly.\u201cI don't care to hear It.\u201d \u201cSee here, what makes you shut me out and wrap yourself up In your haughtiness?I'm sorry for what 1 did that night.I've told you so repeated- lg.I've wrung my soul for that act tll there's nothing left but repentance.\" \u201cIt 18 not that,\u201d she sald slowly, \u201cI have been thinking It over during the past month, and now that ! have gained an insight Into this life 1 see that it wasu't an unnatural thing for you to do.Its terrible to think of, but it's true.I don\u2019t mean that It was pardonable,\u201d she continued quickly, \u201cfor it wasn't, and I! hate you when 1 think about it, but I suppose I put myself into a position to invite such actions.No; I'm sufficiently broadminded not to blame you unreasonably, and I think what you bave done for me.But that isn\u2019t all.There Is something deeper.You saved my life, and I'm grateful, but you frighten me always.It Is the cruelty in your strength.It is something away back in you\u2014lustful ind ferocious and wid and crouching.\u201d He smiled wryly.from this country.I'll try to change, though, If you want me to.I'll] let them rope and throw and brand me.I'll take on the graces of civilization and put away revenge and ambition and all the rest of It if it will make you like me any better.Why, I'll even promise not to violate the person of our claim jumper if 1 catch him, and heaven knows that means that Samson has parted with his locks.\u201d \u201cI think I could like you if you did,\u201d she said, \u201cbut you can't do it.You are 4 savage.\u201d e * ° * .e e There are no clubs nor marts where men foregather for business In the borth\u2014nothing but the saloon, and this is all and more than a club.Here men congregate to drink, to gamble and to trafic, Glenister entered the Northern and passed idly down the row of games, pausing at the crap table, where he rolled the dice when his turn came.Moving to the roulette wheel, be lost a gtack of whites, but at the faro \u201clayout\u201d his lnek was better, and he won a be promptly ordered a round of drinks for the men grouped about him, a formality always precedent to overtures of general friendship, - As he paused, glass in hand, his eves \u201cIt Is my local color maybe, absorbed - It was late in the evening when - gold coin on the high card, whereupon: I could tke you In apite of It, just for - were drawn to 8 man who stood close by, talking carnestly.The aspect of the stranger challenged notice, for be stood high above his companions, with à peculiar grace of attitude in place of the awkwardness comwon in men of great stature.Among those who were listening intently to the man's carefully modulated tones Glenister recognized Mexico Mullins, the ex-gambler who had given Dextry the warning at Unalaska.As he further studied the listening group a drunken man staggered uncertalnly through the wide doors of the saloon and, gaining sight of the tall stranger, blinked, then approached him, speaking with a loud voice: \u201cWell, If \u2018tain't ole Alec McNamara! How do, ye ole pirate?\u201d McNamara nodded and turned his back coolly upon the newcomer.\u201cDon\u2019t turn your dorsal fin to me.I wan\u2019 to talk to ye.\u201d McNamara continued his calm dls- course till he received a viclous whack on the shoulder.Then he turned for a moment to lfoterrupt his assailant\u2019s garrulous profanity: \u201cDon\u2019t bother we.I am enguged.\u201d \u201cYe won\u2019 talk to me, eh?Well, I'm goin\u2019 to talk to you, see, | guess you'd listen If 1 told these people all I know about you.Turn around here.\u201d His voice was wenacing and attracted gencral notice.Observing this, Me.Numara addressed him, his words dropping clear, concise and cold: \u201cDon\u2019t talk to me.You are n drunken nulsance.Go away before something happens to you.\u201d Again he turned away, but the drunken man seized and whirled him about, repeating his abuse, encouraged by this apparent patience.\u201cYour pardon for an instant, gentlemen\u201d MeNamara lald u large white and wanicured band upon the flannel sleeve of the miner and gently escorted | him through the entrance to the sidewalk, while the crowd smiled.As they cleared the threshold, bow- ever, he clinched his fist without a word and, raising It, struck the sot fully and cruelly upon the Jaw, His victim fell sllently, the back of his thump; then, without even observing Low he lay, McNamara re-entered the saloon and took up his conversation where be hud been Interrupted.is volce was as evenly reguluted as Lis movements, betraying not a sign of anger, excitement or bravado.He lit a clgarette, extracted a notebook and Jotted dowu certaln memoranda supplied him by Mexico Mullins.All this time the body lay across the threshold without a slgu of life.The buzz of the roulette wheel was resumed, and the crap dealer began his Inouotonous routine.Every eye was fixed on the nonchalant man at the bar, but the uncousclous creature outside the threshold lay unheeded, for In these men's code it behooves the most humane to practice a certain #loofuess in the matter of private brawls.Having completed his notes, MeNu- .nara shook hands gravely with his companions and strode out through the dour, past the bulk that sprawled across his path and without pause or glance disappeared.A dozen willing, though unsympathetic, hands laid the drunkard on the roulette table, where the bartender poured pitcher upon pltcher of water over him.\u201cHe ain't hurt none to speak of,\u201d said a bystander; then added, with en thusiasm: \u201cBut, say, there's a man In this here campl\u201d CHAPTER VI.\u201c HO'S your new shift boss?Glenister inquired of his partner a few days later, indicating a man _In the cut below, busled in setting a line of Bluices.\u201cThat's old Slapjack Simms, friend of mine from up Dawson way.\u201d Glenister laughed immoderately, for the object was unusually tall and loose Jointed and wore a sotled suit of yellow mackinaw.He had laid off his coat, and now the baggy, billous trousers hung precariously from his angular shoulders by suspenders of alarming frallty, His legs were lost In gum boots, also loose and cavernous, and his entire costume looked relaxed and flapping, so that he gave the impression of being uble to shake himself out of his ralment and to rise like a burlesque Aphrodite.His face was overgrown with a grizzled tangle that looked as though it had been trimmed with buttonhole scissors, while above the brush heap grandly soared a shiny, | domelike head.\u201cHas he always been bald?\u201d \u201cNaw!

Give me that bill of sale, you \u2014.* The unkempt man swung on his heel with a growl and walked away, hls course leading him toward Glenlster and the girl.With two strides he was abreast of them; then, detecting the flashing movement of the other, he whirled Ilke à wild animal.His voice had the snarl of a beast in It.\u201cYe had to have It, didn\u2019t ye?Well, there!\u2019 The actions of both men were quick as light, yet to the girl's taut senses they seemed theatrical and deliberate.Into her mind was seared forever the memory of that second as though the shutter of a camera had snapped, impressing upon her brain the scene, sharp, clear cut and vivid.The shag- &y back of \u2018the large man almost brushing her, the rage drnfiken, white shirted man in the derby hat, the crowd sweeping backward llke rushes before à blast, men with arms flexed and feet raised In flight, the glaring yellow sign of the \u201cGold Belt Dance Hall\u201d across the way\u2014these were stamped upon her retina, and then she was jerked violently backward, two strong arms crushed her down upon her knees against the wall, and she was smothered in tbe arms of Roy Glenister.\u201cMy God! Don't move! We're in line!\u201d He crouched over her, his cheek against her hair, his weight forcing her down Into the smallest compass, his arms about her, Lis body forming a living shield against the flying bullets, Over them the blg man stood, and the sustained roar of his gun was deafening.In an Instant they henrd the thud and felt the jar of lead In the thin boards against which they huddled.Again the report echoed above their heads, and they saw the slender men in the \u2018street drop his weapon and spin half round as though bit with some heavy Hand.Iie uttered a cry and, stooping for his gun.plunged for- wand, burying Lis face In the sand.The man by Glenister's aide shouted curses thickly and walked toward his prostrate cnemy, firing .at every step.The wounded man.rolled to his side and, ralsing himself on hia elbow, shot twice 80 rapidly that the reports blend.meated (he atmosphere with a mag netle, electrifying energy.\u201cIt's somethin\u2019 flerce ashore,\u201d said the oarsmen.\u201cI Ween up for threes days uu\u2019 nights steady.There aiu\u2019t no room uor time nor darkness to sleep in.Ham au\u2019 eggs Is a dollar an\u2019 a half, an\u2019 whisky\u2019's 4 bits a throw.\u201d He wailed the last sadly, as a complaint unspeakable.\u201cAny trouble doin\u2019Y\u2019 inquired the old man.\u201cYou know it!\u201d the other cried co} loquially.\u201cThere was a massacre in the Northern last night\" \u201cGamblin\u2019 row?* \u201cYep.\u2018Tinhorn\u2019 called Missou done it.\u201d \u201cSho!\u201d sald Dextry.\u201cI know him.He's a bad actor.\u201d All three men nodded sagely, and the girl wished for further light, but they volunteered no explunation.Leaving the skiff, they plunged into turimoll.Dodging through the tangle, they came out into fenced lots where tents stood wall to wall and every inch was occupled.lere and there was a vacant spot guarded jealously hy its owner, who gazed sourly upon all men with the forbidding eye of suspicion.linding an eddy In the confusion, the men stopped.\u201cWhere do you waut to go?\u2019 they asked Miss Chester.There was no longer fn Glenisters glance that freedom with which be Lad come to regard the women of the north.Ile had come to realize dully that bere was a girl driven by some strong purpose Into a position repellent to her.In a man of his type her independence awoke only admiration, utd ber colduess served but to inflame him the more.Delicacy in Glenister was loat in a remarkable singleness of purpose.IIe could laugh at her loathing, smile under her abuse and remain uttérly ignorant that anything wore than his action In seizing her that night lay at the bottom of her dislike.He did not dream that Le possessed characteristics abhorrent to her, and he felt a keen reluctance at parting, She extended both hands.\u201cI can never thank you enough for what you have done\u2014you two\u2014but I shall try.Goodby!\u201d Dextry gazed doubtfully at his own hand, rough and gnarly, then taking hers as he would have handled a rob- In's egg waggled it limply.\u201cWe ain't goin' to turn you adrift this-a-way.Whatever your destination is, we'll see you to It.\u201d \u201cI can find my friends,\u201d she assured him.\u201cThis is the wrong latitude in which to dispute a lady; but, knowin\u2019 this camp from soup to nuts, as I do, 1 su\u2019- gests a male escort.\u201d \u201cVery well.I wish to find Mr, Struve of Dunham & Struve, lawyers.\u201d \u201cI'll take you to thelr offices,\u201d sald Glenister.\u201cYou see to the baggage, Dex.Meet me at the Second Class In half an hour, and we'll run out to the Midas.\u201d They pushed through the tangle of tents, past piles of lumber and emerged upon the main thoroughfare, which ran parallel to the shore.Nome consisted of one narrow street, twisted between solid rows of canvas and half erected frame buildings, its every other door that of a saloon.There were fair looking blocks which aspired to the dizzy height of three stories, some sheathed In corrugated iron, others gleaming and galvanized.Lawyers\u2019 signs, doctors\u2019, surveyors\u2019, were in the upper windows.The street was thronged with men from every land.Helen Chester heard more dla- lects than she could count.Laplanders in quaint three cornered padded caps idled past.Men with the tan of the troplcs rubbed elbows with yellow haired Norsemen, and near her a carefully groomed Frenchman with riding breeches and monocle was In pauto- mime with a skin clad Eskimo.To her left was the sparkling sea, alive with ships of every class.To her right towered timberless mountains, unpeo- pled, unexplored, forbidding and desolate, their hollows Inlald with snow.On one band were the life and the world she knew, on the other silence, mystery, possible adventure.The roadway where she stood was a crush of sundry vehicles from bicycles to dog hauled water carts, and on all sides men were laboring busily, the echo of hammers mingling with the cries of teamsters and the tinkle of music within the saloons.\u201cAnd this is midnight!\u201d exclaimed Helen breathlessly.\u201cDo they ever rest?\u201d \u201cThere isn't time.This 1s n gold stampede.You bhaven't cagyght the spirit of it yet.\u201d They climbed the stairs in a huge iron sheeted building to the office of Dunham & Struve, and in anawer to their knock a red faced, white haired, tousled man fn shirt sleeves and stocking feet opened the door.\u201cWhat d\u2019ye wan\u2019?\u2019 he bawled, his legs wavering uncertainly.His eyes were heavy and bloodshot, his lips loose, and his whole person exhaled al- cohollc fumes like a gust from a still house.Hanging to the knob, he strove vainly to solve the mystery of his suspenders, hiccoughing intermittently, \u201cHumph! Been drunk ever since I left?\u2019 questioned Glenister.\u201cSomebody mus\u2019 have tol\u2019 you,\u201d the lawyer replied.There was neither cu- rlosity, recognition nor resentment In his voice.In fact bis head drooped 80 that he paid no attention to the girl, who had shrunk back at sight of him.He was a young man, with marks of briliancy showing through the dissipation betrayed by his silvery hair and coarsened features.\u201cOh, I dont know what to do,\u201d lamented the girl.\u201cAnybody else here besides you?\u201d asked her escort of the lawyer.\u201cNo.I'm runnin\u2019 the law business unassisted.Don\u2019t need any help.Dunham's in Wash'n'ton, D.C., the lan\u2019 of the home, the free of the brave.What can I do for you?\u201d He made to cross the threshold hose sumimons, and we haven't had a chance to argue In our own defense.\u201d \u201cI bave just sald that this is a remarkable state of affairs and unusual action bad to be taken,\u201d McNamara re plied, but the young miner grew excited.\u201cLook here, this gold won't get awayl It's safe in the ground.We'll knock off work and let the claim le idle till the thing is settled.You can't really expect us to surrender possession of our mine on the mere allegation of some unknown man.That's ridiculous.We won't do it Why, you'll bave to let us argue our cass at least before you try to put us off.Voorhees shook his head.\u201cWe'll have to follow instructions, The thing for you to do is to appear before the court tomorrow and have the receiver dismissed.If your title Is as good as you, say it is, you won't bave any trou- le.\u201d \u201cYou're not the only ones to suffer,\u201d added McNamara, \u201cWe've taken possession of all the mines below here.\u201d He nodded down the gulch.\u201cI'm an officer of the court and under bond\u201d\u2014 \u201cHow much?\u201d \u201cFive thousand dollars for each claim.\u201d \u201cWhat?Why, heavens, man, the poorest of these mines is producing that much every day!\u201d While Le spoke Glenister was rapid- Iy debating what course to follow.\u201cThe place to argue this thing is before Judge Stillman,\u201d sald Struve, but with little notion of the confifet going on within Glenister.The youth yearned to fight, uot with words nor quibbles nor legal phrases, but with steel and blows, And he felt that the tm.pulse was as rightoous as it was nfitu.ral, for he knew thi | \u2018ocess was unjust, an outrage.Mexico Mullins warning recurred to him.And yet\u2014 He shifted slowly as lhe talked til) his back was to the door of the big tent.They were watching him carefully, for all their apparent languor and looseness in saddle; then, as he started to leap within and rally his henchmen, his mind went back to the words of Judge Btillman and bis niece.Surely that old man was on the square.He couldn\u2019t be otherwise with her beside him, believing in him, and a suspicion of deeper plots behind these actions was groundless.So far all was legal, he supposed, with his scant knowledge of law, though the methods seemed unreasonable.The men might be doing what they thought to be right.Why be the first to resist?The men on the mines below had not done so.The title to this ground was capable of such easy proof that he and Dex need have no uneasiness.Courts do not rob honest people nowadays, he argued, and, moreover, perhaps the girl's words were true; perhaps she would think more of him if he gnve up the old fighting ways for her snke.Certainly armed resistance to her uncles first ediet would not please her.She had sald be was too violent, so he would show her he could lay bis savagery aside.She might smile on him approvingly, and that was worth taking a chance for.Anyway it would mean but a few days\u2019 delay In the mine's run.As he reasoned he heurd a low voice speaking within the open door.It was Slapjack Simms.\u201cStep aside, lad.I've got the big un covered.\u201d Glenister saw the men on horseback snatch at thelr holsters and just in time leaped at his foreman, for the old man had moved out iuto the open, a Winchester at shoulder, his cheek cuddling the stock, his eyes cold and narrow.The young man tung the barrel up and wrenched the weapon from hls hands.\u201cNone of that, Ilank! be crled sharply.\u201cI'll say when to shoot.\u201d He turned to look luto the muzzles of guus lield in the hands of every horse- muan\u2014every horseman save one, for Alec McNamara sat unimoved.Lis handsome features, unonchalant and amused, nodding approval.It was at him that Hank's weapon had been leveled, \u201cThis ls bad enough at the best.Don\u2019t lets make it any worse,\u201d said Le.Slapjack Inhaled deeply, spat with disgust and looked over his boss incredulously, \u201cWell, of all the different kinds of blame fools,\u201d he snorted, \u201cyou are the kindest!\u201d He marched past the marshal and bis deputies down to the cut, put on his coat and vanished down the trall toward town, not delgning a backward glance either at the mine or at the man unfit to tight for.GREAT SEAL OF CHARLES IT.Impression of One First Used by Monarch Found on State Papers.There has just been discovered in a volume of the Clarendon State Papers at the Bodleian Library an almost perfect impression of the first Great Seal of Charles II.The discovery, says the Bodlelan Quarterly Record, supplies a gap in the series of Great Seals of England \u2014otherwise complete except for the fourth seal of Henry VI.for French affairs\u2014and has a special historical interest of its own.The Royal Seal of Charles I., captured at Oxford in 1646, had been defaced in Parliament that year, and its Parliamentary rival continued in sole use until the King's execution.In January, 1649, Parliament appointed a committee to take order for the framing of a new Great Seal, and In February this new Seal of the Commonwealth wag brought into the House, and the old one broken up.Meanwhile the Prince of Wales, then an exile at The Hague, assumed the title of King of England and took steps to provide himself with a Great Seal of his own, Clarendon informs us that thig first Great Seal of Charles II.was lost in the deefat at Worcester, September, 1651.The British Museum charter, which was hitherto the sole evidence for its use, is dated September 18, 1649; the Bodleian example is attached to letters patent of Charles II.(on vellum) granted to Sir Edward Hyde and Francis Lord Cottington on May 10 of the same year, constituting them the King\u2019s Plenipotentiaries in Spain, That it was made at The Hague is in every way probable, and it is natural to suppose that Charles IL, issued orders for making a new Great Seal of England upon receiving news of his father\u2019s death, The seal is in dark yellow wax and its diameter is exactly six inches, A portion of the obverse is missing, The impression 18 sharp and clear over the greater part of the surface, but there is a double imprint (due to a kind of side slip) over one side on both obverse and reverse, The obverse shows the King enthroned, wearing the mantle and collar of the Garter; the head is missing.Outside the throne are, on the dexter side a lon supporting between his forepaws a banner of St, George; on the sinister side a unicorn gorged and chained, holding a banner of St, Andrew, The reverse shows the King in Roman armor, on a prancing horse, In the field are the royal arms, encircled with an inscribed Garter; on the other side is a double rose ensigned with a crown.Between the horse\u2019s legions is à Mon standing.The legend is: \u2018\u2018Carolos II.Del Gratia Maguae Britanniæ Franciæ et Hiberniæ Rex Fidel Defensor.\" \u2014\u2014 Regimental Peculiarities.The red and white feather wo by the Northumberland Fusiliers keeps ever green in regimental historic records the memory of the desperate fight at St.Lucia in 1778, when the men of the regiment: plucked the buckles from the hats of the slain French soldiers and decorated their own with them, The Golucestershire Regiment en- Joys the distinction of wearing the \u2018Sphinx\u2019 on the back as well as the front of their headdress.This honor was granted to them to commemorate the gallantry of the 1st Battalion (the old 28th Foot), when Colonel Paget ordered the third or rear rank to face about, and in this way they beat off the envaloping attack of the French column at Alexandria.: : The Coldstream Quards took their name from the little village of Cold- stream, near the borders of Scotland.They were originally known as the Coldatreamers, which fs the correct way to speak of them, and not as the Coldstreams.The regiment was first raised by Monk, the \u201cKing Maker,\u201d from among the hardy borderera, who followed him anywhere and everywhere, aring very little whether they fought for Cromwell! or King Charles.When the former died Monk marched the Coldstreamers to London and restored King Charles.- Historic Inn Closed, \"The Three Pigeons,\u201d one of England's oldest and most famous inns, and the sole existing tavern of Dliza- bethan times, was closed a few days ago by the Middlesex Licensing Justices, in accordance with a movement inaugurated some time ago by the temperance leaders.to restrict the number-of licensed inns.\u201cThe Three Pigeons\u201d was used as 8 background for the low comedy scenes in the \u2018Merry Wives of Windsor,\u201d and Goldsmith's \"She Stoops to Conquer,\u201d and fs alluded to in Dickens\u2019 \u201cOur Mutual Friend.\u201d The fan, perhaps, bas had more literary associations than any other English tavern, __ _ .\u2014\u2014 OFF FOR PALM BEACH.One of the First Frocks For Her Going South, 80 BPRINGLIKE.White pussy willow taffetn simply Set up gives this charming gown with its shoulder cape effect.A geargetty crape guimpe is worn under the basque like bodice, while a bouffant drape over one hip, the other side falling straight, gives a piquant skirt.The llyaway À bow on the straw poke bounet, win B its rosebud, deserves especial notice.\u2014_\u2014 A BEAUTIFUL NECK.How to Improve Your Throat Without Slavery to Routine, We all know that the neck should not be too short; should Le smaller at the top than where it joins the chest und shoulders; that the shoulders should be neither too broad ang well developed nor too narrow; {but thoR bones of the chest and back should uot be buried with flesh.It is not given to every woman to have a beautiful neck and shoulders and chest.But she can make the most of the trio, as nature gave them to her, by massage and exercise.And she can do more.She can care for the skin so care fully, perfecting the texture and color ing, that the form of the neck and chest and shoulders becomes secondary, Often the skin of the back and chest and shoulders will bave smail eruptions when the face of the person is clear and free from any such disorder.This is because the clothes cover the body so tightly that the alr and sun have no chance to purify the skin beneath as they do the skin of the face, Frequent baths of sea salt also tend to clear the skin of the neck and bring the blood to the surface, giving It the glow of health.Olive oll or some good cold cream applied to this part of the body keeps the pores open and helps the skin to throw off any secretions which are clogging the pores.Exercises which stretch the muscles of the back, chest and neck will keep away any superfluous flesh and make the flesh bard and firm.The neck sometimes gets dark from high and tight collars.For a bleach use the magic of lemon juice diluted one-third with water.Sponge with it and allow to dry on.Oatmeal is splendid for whitening the skin and may be used freely._\u2014 Consider the Stomach.The evil habit of going too long without food is one from which mauy peo: ple suffer In this present age.Men sit in their offices, women rush about shopping, and both become so absorbed In thelr respective interests that the period of hunger is allowed to pass and that of fatigue and depression ta set in.The worst feature of such cases Is that once tbe second stage ls reached the desire for food !s gone, and after this treatment of oneself the stomach is too exhausted to digest a meal when taken.This extreme should be avoided.It is only necessary to take a light diet.A glass of milk, a bls cuit, will do to prevent after loss of ap petite.And yet those who cull them selves wenstble prefer to ruin (their health rather thau take the time and trouble to turn into a restaurant snd drink a glass of milk, \u201cWhat fools these mortals te!\" er Southern Rice Bread.Two cupfuls of white cornmeal.three eggs.one and one-quarter pints of milk, one cupful boiled rice, two tablespoonfuls of butter, four teaspoon- * fuls of haking powder and one-balt teaspoonful of salt.Beat eggs.Add milk, menl.salt and butter.Beat.Ad3 baking powder.Bent again \u2018 Fake in three grensed ple dishes thirty minutes.ee rer The rates of the Gleaner fof transient advertisements are 50 cents per inch for first insertion and 25 cents per inch for each subsequent insertion.Advertise ments of 20 words or less 20 cent?each Insertion, No advertisement inserted for less than 250 No notice taken of Card of Thanks 0!
