As the steamer Idlewild pulled out
of the bay Grey sat gazing on the re-
treating land, wondering whether ever
again he would see those inhospitable
shores.
His heart was full of bitterness.
Why had things gone so wrong? Well,
yes, he had after all been indiscreet in
his treatment to Elsie Whitford, but
who would have expected such a child
as she was to have grown into a woman
in one single night?
Then he took from his pocket the
package that Wilders had given him.
There was a spell of sentiment over
him now, and the dried gorse flowers
would be a consolation, conveying
many pleasant memories; but, when
the envelope was torn open no yellow
buds were there, only ten twenty-dol-
lar bills wrapped in tissue paper and
a letter in Mrs. Wilders' neat hand
writing.
Use this trifle without conjunction.
1t is a free gift from your loving
friends, Jack and Millie.-
Then was added in the big, rough.
scrawl Of the prospector:
Don't return this little pile. No
man goes back on my Miles wishes
and calls me friend J. W"
Now, God bless their noble hearts,"
murmured Grey, as tears of deep emo
ton coursed down his checks.

the two largest islands OF the group
! called the Kadiak islands. It lies lust
north of latitude 5S and between 49,
! and 153 west longitude. It is a small
island, probably not more than fifty
| miles across at its widest part, but
there are several streams flowing from
! various points of the island to the sur
| rounding ocean that at the proper sea-
son contain salmon innumerable. II is
no exaggeration to say that salmon
swarm up these streams in countless
myriads. ''In 1889 the salmon were so
thick in the streams that it was abso-
lutely necessary, in fording them, 20
kick the salmon out of the way to avoid
stumbling over them"
This story illustrates as well as any
thing the wonderful abundance of
salmon in the Afoenak streams: and it
can be easily believed when it is re-
membered that about a month earlier
$4,000 salmon We're caught in one day
at the mouth of the Karlulx. which is a
river only sixty feet wide where it
empties into the ocean. The salmon
are there in as great numbers as could
be wished. All the varieties also
which inhabit the Pacific ocean come
to Afognak. The list is a royal cata-
logge: The red salmon, the "blue-
bacS of the Columbia; the king
salmon, the "quinnat' or spring
salmon" of the Columbia; the silver
salmon, the ''silversides" of the Column
bia; the humpback salmon, the dog
salmon, the steelhead, the Square
tailed" trout of the tributaries of the
Columbia, ard the dolly warden
What paradise for salmon this island
is, and what a magnificent place OF
safety it would be if it were set aside
for national park. where the salmon
could always hereafter be'unmolested.
Tho island is inhabitablc all the year
round; with comparatively even tenn
perature, although 50 far north. the
winters cold is not excessive, proba bly,
not equaling that of parts of New
England. it is colder than New Eng
land in summer, but there is
much less variation of teIE?era-
turc between summer and winter.
The island will never be wanted fJI
anything else, and it Is inhabited only
by few Aleuts. Artificial Matching
can be instituted there at any time and
on a large scale. Thus. all of the
streams of the continent can be re.
peopled with these beautiful and de
sirable inhabitants at small expense &c
the government.
In presenting his argument for the
establishment of a national salmon
park. the fish commissioner makes lib
eral quotations from the opinions of ex.
perts who have studied the question,
and his efforts will undoubtedly have
an effect upon the minds of our ma
tional legislators. Certainly every man
who loves the sport. and everyone who
realizes the Importance of maintaining
our supply of fish food of the best quail
ity, will cOncede the forcefulness of
the plea which has been officially made.

added: Gan thee hast finished thy
meal. my dear. get thee to thy room an
fettle it oop a bit. Oh 'ull be wi We
presently"
Grey seized on Elsie's absence as a
good opportunity to finish packing, for
he was haunted with painful dread
of arousing her suspicious of his per
manent departure. feeling sure that a
long farewell would be so hard for the
dear hild-aye, and for him. too;
whereas if his plans did not fail he
would slip away under the p-etense of
going TO Chicago on a vacation. and be
off without any painful betrayal of
emotion.

by the pine-clad hills. the last All,
what was that?
The door opened and Elsie Whitford
confronted him.
\ child! Good heavens, 1t seemed as
if in a night she had grown into glori-
Gus womanhood. As she stood there in
the strength of her young beauty the
scales fell from the eyes of the unhappy
man, and he knew he loved. Oh, how
he longed to take her in his arms and
tell her all he felt; but. between her
and him was a chasm he dared not
cross-not yet-but who knew what
the future might bring forth?
She seemed very quiet and self-pos-
sessed-not a bit the emotion-tossed
Elsie he had pictured to himself. Look
ing round the room at his corded boxes,
she said very quietly:
You are going to leave US for good.
Mr.. Grey, you are not coming back to
0retown?"
Yes, Elsie, am going away; you
have guessed rightly"
The words and tone were cheerful.
but she read in his eyes the pain the
parting cost him.
''On account of the trouble You limited
at?" she asked.
Eyes"
Il guessed as much. And you thought
to spare me the misery of long fare
well. All, that was kind of you-kind
TO the very last
Shall you miss me so much. Elsie?"
Manlike he was disappointed at her
equanimity, though he had so much
dreaded any ebullition of feeling.
''Good-by, Elsie."
''Good-by, Mr.. Grey!"
And that was all their parting. for
at that moment the prospector drove to
the door in his buggy to take Frank
Grey to the depot.
The prospectOr's horse was Just such
an animal as he might be expected to
own-a quick. rough Indian pony,
with legs as clean as a deer's, which
was by no means inclined to let
the grass grow under his feet, but
Wilders was afterwards won't to de-
clare that it was the longest mile he
ever drove, for his companion was more
inconsolable than a widow at the loss
of her first husband.

For a time there was silence. The
young man sat watching the clouds OF
smoke that rose from his companion's
pipe. as though in them he would read
his fate. In imagination he saw the
the sweet, innocent, childish face with
the brown hair clustering round it, the
! sad look of those pensive eyes, the
trembling movement of that beautiful
lip-and he held his hand out to Wild
ers and said:

light in Pittsburgh a few days ago,
says the New York Sun, when a seven

an aid society to claim his mother, from
whom he had been separated by the
long illness of both. 1t was shown that
the man had remained a bachelor all
