The fellow set off at a lively pace on his snowshoes and in an hour and a half was back, saying: They be not there." "What d'ye mean?" asked Kate. "Gone." "What is gone?" "Camp. -Where?" "Dun know," and he shrugged his shoulders again. She was nonplussed, and In fact frightened. "Gone!" she whispered, half aloud. "Gone and left me alone with thla sick man In this wilderness! Gone, and with that poor child. Why, I can't hardly bellete It, and yet my heart has always told me th rascal was a villain. Oh, Laura, Laura! where are you now, my poor child?" sho began to eob. "I promised ye I'd stay by ye through thick an' thin, an' I've gone an lied to e. That ras cal put this poor sick man off on me, an' what could I do?" In her helpless rage she looked about for some object to vent her wrath upon, and seeing Horsa Cum mins emerging from the small tent In which be had slept, she rushed at hlra like a virago, crying: "You red-headed thief, where Is yer master? I say, where Is yer master? Speak or I'll chuck yer head In the snow an' hold it there till ye smother." With a look of surprise he said: "Why, I did not know he had gone." "He Is, and took my little friend with him." "Well, that Is strange: that beats anything I ever heard! What can he mean?" "I don't know, but there is some mischief In It, and I'll be bound you are at the bottom o' It." "Why, my dear good woman, you do me a very great Injustice." began Cummins with mock humility. "lxok here!" she yelled. "Don't ye come none o' yer monkey-doodle business around me, for I won't stand It. Rack out an' find that good-for-nuthln master o' yours, and tell him f bring that girl back or I'll make Alaska so hot for you the icebergs will melt!" With this threat Kate turned and en'ered the shanty. "That woman's a regular she tiger!" growled Cummins, as he walked over the bill. Once out of her sight he sat down in the snow to think the matter over. "Blame me If she ain't a per fect devil of a woman. The boss has put a hard Job on me. She knows I had a hand In It. Now the youngster don't show any signs o dyin very fast. I wish he would, but be don't. What am I to do with this tiger cat? She'll snatch my ces out If I go back." Meanwhile Kate went Into the small shanty, vowing she would have har mony or know the reason. Her pa tient was wide awake, his great, dark brow n eyes on the door. For the first time Kate realired that he was a young man and quite hasdtome. "Were you talking to some one out there?" be asked. "Yes: I was Jus: a-layln' one o' them triflln' critters for not attendin' 1 to his work. I give him a piece of my mind and I reckon after this he'll know what's what!" Kate declared. j "Don t your people agrev" ! "Yes: all agree with each other, but none don't agTee with me. They go do things without askln' me or con sultin' me a bit more'n if I was a block o' stone, and bad no more ' sensen a Kansas badger." Paul, who felt conclderably strong er, raised himself on his elbow and asked: -W;at have they done, my good friend, without consulting you?" "Palled up stakes an' gone! Tea. gone, an' not left a sled nor dog to foller 'em with. I don't keer so much so fur a I'm concerned, but that poor child all alone with that maa; and she told me with her owa mouth she mistrusted him. and I said I'd stand by her. and, like a tunkbt-ad. let 'em side-track me c2 here and then h slopes an' takes the pore little thing with him! Oh. It makes me hot: but HI have harmony yit: $ .! I don't!" "Vast do you mean, my good wo man" Paal asked in amazement -Who is this man that deceived you?" "That scamp from Fretzo called Lackland '" "Lackland from Fresno'" The pa tient started up ia bed sta.icg at her. "Who is the poor younr thing he j took away the girt?" aVed the pa tient, seizing her arm in a vice-like grip. "Laca Keaa." With a wild shriek he leaped half- , dressed from the td and rested from i tae .aanty. CHAPTER XV. The Old Man of the Mocatains. Lore after dar tad dawned the lit ! tie train cf porter Indians, dcrs and " fieds, continued their way over the s:o-- Laara protested agalz,st this pi.ratoa from her friend, but it was a!l in vaUt. When the tents were pitched Laura met LtAkland and asked: "Where Is my companion, Kate Wil lis, from -shorn you promised I should ret t separawd?" te U lack with the sick nan," j i tt izsirertd. "It was cur wUn to, bring her. but the storm came up so sudden that we had no time to send for her." "Can you not do It now?" He shook his head and said t:ie avalanche had fallen In the pass be hind them and they were-completely shut In where there were. "Will there be no escape?" eho asked. "Not until spring unless we can cut our way through." Laura went to her tent and wept. She realized bow helpless she was and began to distrust the man who professed to be her friend. "Oh, God." she groaned, "to Thee alone ran I now appeal for help! I need expect none from these men." Mr. Lackland seemed very much distressed that she was cut off from her female companion, and selected four men to go back, as he said, and bring her over tbe fallen avalanche if possible. The four selected were Ben Allen. Morris. Ned Padgett and Tom Ambrose. When I-ackland took them apart, to give his final instruc tions, he said: "Take the woman and wounded man back to Skaguay." "What! An' have him hang us for holdln' him prisoner in the moun tains?" asked Allen. "But he Is insane. You are four witnesses to one." Ned shrugged bis shoulders and muttered something about never want ing to see Skaguay. especially while their late prisoner lived. "Very well. then, start with them toward Skaguay. but don't reach the place. Become lest. You understand how to do that. At least he must not know anything of the young wo man here, and she must have no knowledge that Paul Miller Is alive." His final Instructions were so clear and Imperative there could be no pos sible mistaking them, and when he had finished they took their departure. The story about the avalanche fall ing In their rear and blocking up the way as all a clever Invention on the part of Mr. lackland Lackland wont to Laura's tent, his white face w-earlng a careworn and troubled look. The lines of his fea tures seemed more deeply drawn and his face was expressive of the great est concern. "Laura Miss Kean." he began. In his cautious, considerate manner. "I hope you will believe me when I say that this lamentable accident causes me unaccountable annoyance on your account. When awakened in the night with the intelligence that a storm was coming and the pass would be Impassable. I decided that for you I must act at once. If we were aboard a sinking ship and I should rescue you and take you ashore, would you deem it an act of hostility because I did not wait for some companion of yours?" She bowed her head and was silent. In argument, the subtle villain al ways brat her, but when left to her self to con over what he had said and commune with her own heart, she In stinctively felt the mau tvas a villain. Intuition, or whatever you may choose to call it, told I -aura her lover lived. She was conscious of his presence somewhere In this ast world, and felt as instinctively drawn to him as the needle to the magnet. Days passed and the small party was still in the valley, hemmed in by the mountains and eternal snows. Lackland made frequent visits to Laun after despatching the four men to give an account of their progress in cutting their way throush the pass. , "Laura." he said, in a low gentle j tone, which would have thrilled any i other woman. "I have tried to hope i against hope for your sake. I have ' tried to believe your lover lived, but I must yield to facts. All this Jour- j ney, hardship and suffering, this j passing the winter in an Alaskan ' wilderness is to no purpose." "Is St not?" "Laura, are you very strong!" She gave him a swift, wild look kit imploring glance and gasped: "What do you mean?" "Can you b-rar a great shock?" "What shock what Is It speak out, I beseech you!" -Paul is dead!" "It is false!" "It Is true!" "What evidence have voh?" "The evidt-nce of men who saw him die. He died thre weeks ago!" His face was & white, he expressed such concern, that she was strongly impressed with his manner, yet she ' cried: I "What you say can't be true! My heart tells me he lives." Nevertheless, her eyes grew dim with tears, which trickled adown ber damask che-eks. Lackland, for sev eral moments overcome with bis own emotions, at last said. "Laara, It's your noble, sanguine na- ture which 1 admire that makes you hope anlBit hope. But. alas! It Is I useless for you to fed yourself on I hops longer. I know It must be true, for men whose word I cannot doubt tell me, and It must be true. By: Laura, whatever may happen, believe me. I will ever be your friend. Let me weep with you over your loss!" "Don't, don't talk so! Yon frigstea me!" sh gasped. "Frighten you. darling? he wblp- 7.Tr.i. nijuifs you; ua, it yoa i knew the pangs cf this bean If you ' only knew how tenderly devoted I am i to you. If you only knew how willingly !

"Hush hush! Don't talk so!" S;e tsas stunned and confused by his impassioned speech Poor girl. v.... ... u...iiwa juivji, 1.1 uj i madman no wonder she was fright ened. She h& started up from the cams stool and taken a step toward th door of the tent as If she would fir, but he quickly put himself before Wis and said: "No. no: don't leave me, dearest I will not harm you. I will not tcch yoa. I only want to say one vord. When convfneed our poor, dear Paul Is no more, will you. oh, will you look wita snore favor on my suit?" Sh found her voice now. The words the stinging Insult fired ber soul and in a voice In which grief, rage and disgust were strangely blended, she cried: "No, no a thousand times no! If It was for this you have followed me across the ocean and wilderness you can go yes. go! I will have no more to say to you go!" Drawing herself up to her full height, with all the scorn which an In jured soul can depict In a handsome face, she pointed toward the door of th lent tnM frt ttnA Kfn.A tV V.l4 4a. ..9 .. ... .... W. W. n t. M Jk ' In his grasp, he started toward the door of the tent, when one of the strangest figurts either had ever seen, entered. It was a man fully fifty years of age, his long, white hair and beard evident ly many years strangers to either razors, scl-ors. combs or brushes. In his hand the old man carried a Win chester rifle, the butt of which he placed oa the ground, while he leaned i on the muule. and fixed his curious eyes oa the man before him. So ' piercing was that glance that It seemed to penetrate the very soul of the scoundrel. The old man might have been taken for a Rip Van Winkle, but for the fact that his arms were all of the latest improvement. Advancing a pace or two and pausing, he leaned on his rifle, glancing from first one and then the other, but uttered not a word. After a moment's amazed silenca Lackland gasped: "Who In Satan's name are you?" Th old man rf tht mountain was the answer. In a low husky voice, which seemed to chill the blood In the veins of the rascally Lackland. There was firmness In the voice, a steady j gleam In the ee. which indicated he had mt a man whom it would not do to trifie with. "Where did you come from?" askl Lackland, quaking. "From the mountain," was the an swer. "Wnat are jou doing here?" Without paying any heed to him. the old man of the mountains, none other than our hermit friend, the captain, turned his eyes upon Laura and asked : "Are you going to the Klondyke?" "I was going." she answered. "And alone?" "A woman companion was with me. but she remained back on the trail twenty-five miles, and 3n avalanche has filled the trail, so she cannot come." "There has been no avalanche." the j old man answered, in his deep voice: "There has been no avalanche!'' i She quickly fastened her gaz upon the face of lackland, who began to retreat toward the door. so you nave ceceived me, mon- j ster! she began. if you listen to that old fool you will believe anything. He Is crazy!" cried Lackland, and darted from the tent, leaving Laura alone with tbe old man of the mountains. CHAPTER XVI. Driven to Desperate Straits. Once outside tae tent. Lackland was like one dazed and confused. He saw a figure cominc toward him and recog-! nlzed It as one of his men. He hur ried toward him. saIng: "Cummins, you have come at lat?" "Yes: they relieved me and told me to report her.?. Right glad I am of it. too. for if ever there was a fiend in woman form it's that tarmagant down there." To be continued. I LONG LIFE AND A MERRY ONE Strenuous Americans Cutlive the In dolent Africans. It seems that we are all wrong about the hurtful and life-shortening effect of American "hustle." Our na tional motto ma t said to have been A short life, but a strenuous one." We were willing, as a people, to have the span shortened a little If only we could have something worth while, something active and effective, going all the time. But It seems, according to the latest bulletin of the census bureau, that the fast life Is also the long one. says Harper's Weekly. Our "median age" that Is. the age which is such that half the population is under it and half oVer It Is more than seven years greater than It wts a century ago, and Increases from dec ade to decade. We are surpassing easy-going forlgn countries In this respect, we are surpassing even the looie-Jolnted, Indolent, beautifully re laxed, never-wcrrying African in our midst: for whereas tbe median ag of our American whites is 23.4 years that of the devil-may-care colored per son is but 1S.3. Lately much confu sion has arises In the minds of many Africans over the statement made by certain eminent neurologists that it is next to impossible for a man to "overwork." provided his bodily func tions are kept in good order by tem perate nd wholesome living. Other physicians, to be sure, tell us that hurry and worry spell death. We had accepted the latter judgment, with the cjualifying reflection that no matter what science tells us, it always seems to have "another think coming." This censes bulletin whlc'j links the long life with the fast one appears to b the other "think." LOTS 0 f MONEY More Money Available for Irriga tion INCREASE WILL BE STEADY rro?1f ItererU I'efyr Njr I .aw to Fond L'iKl Id Iterfemtloj of Arid Jtraion Mmor llorarkrs -Other Important wt There is more money available for the redemption of arid lands of the west by irrigation than has been counted upon, even by th most en thusiastic advocates of national aid for Irrigation enterprises. In the argu ments before congress last winter, when the Irrigation bill was pending. It was claimed that the funds then available would not exceed S5.0v0.000 and that this sum would be Increased but gradually from year to year. The annual report of BInger Hermann, gen eral commissioner of the land olSte. shows that there was. at the Hose of the fiscal year In June last, a fund of J9.500.00O on hand, derived from the sale of public lands, and available for Irrigation purposes. The sales of the last fiscal year were greatly in ?xcess of those of any year In the last decade, aggregating $6,500,000. This was due largely to th sale of public laads in the Indian territory and Okla homa. These were placed oa the mar ket and iold. la some sections, to the highest bidder, the total realization be ig much In excess of that secured from the usual method of disposition. NE3RASKA BEATS MISSOURI Th St. i1o tiamr Wa llumiurr 12 to o Nebraska triumphed over Missouri on th gridiron, but the defeated tigers waced desperate defense, forcing the comhuskers in achieving the ictory to be content with but two touchdowns. Benedict kicked both goals and the final store stood 12 to u in Nebraska's favor. Nebraska deserved to win by playing a superior rame. but her partisans who expected a runaway srorp were wrong in their reckoning. The tlgr fought back desperately at all stas. com pelling their opponents to extend them selves to the utmost. The halves were cut short. Missouri asking It and Ne braska gladly acquiescing that the men might husband thtir energies for next Saturday's crucial contest against the Haskell Indians. INEREASEIN COAL OUTPUT Nlnrtj-ona Thousand Men and Uor Ac tively at Work. There Is a further increase of coal produced In the anthracite region. The estimated output Is 120.000 tons. The Increase came mostly from collieries that have been in operation and which are in good condition now. The num ber of men and boys at work is placed at Sl.C-K The Lehigh Valley Coal com paay has all of Its collieries in opera tion, with the exception of one. The company's output of coal was Co per cent of the normal. Nearly all the steam men formerly employed by this company. It is said, are at work. IeMolne X-oop Lincoln In the most stubbornly fought game of football played so far this year on the university gridiron, the East Des Moines high school defeated the Lin coln high school Saturday by a score of 5 to 0. Tbe score hardly Indicated the one-sldednes of the play. Only at critical times did the Lincoln boys re alize the seriousness of the case and settle down to hard work. Pes Moines earned at least three touch downs by forcing the ball within the Lincoln five yard line, but each time failed to score, on fumble. Once the visitors carried the ball over the goal line, only to lose It on a fumble. Almost the entire game was played in Lincoln's territory and at no time wa there any chance of their scoring. Fatal Injur j att Oretn Phil Dow-d. a young man who had ben visiting relatives at Gretna, was killed In an accident at the place. He was trying to board the east bound Burlington passenger train.
