of humanity that earlier in the
evening had ebbed and flowed
through the streets of the great
city, had swept onward, leaving
the strange and almost appalling
sense OF desolation that comes
when the noises of the town are
hushed. The electric lights fiared
unnoted on the coners, the street
cars passed at farther intervals,
now and then a night worker hur-
ried by, his footsteps ringing out
loud and clear in the stiffness. In
front of a saloon whose lights
shone out bright and ruddy across
the pavement, stood tramp, un-
shorn, ragged, dirty, disgusting.
He watched with envions eyes the
men who passed in and out through
the swinging doors, cand then he
turned his eyes towards two young
fellows in evening dress, who were
coming down the street towards
him. They had been drinking
deeply, and they stopped before
the saloon door and look curiouslN
at him. "By Jove," said one,
"think Of having thirst like that,
and not the price of an extinguish-
er in your pocket! Beats old Tan
talus all to pieces, eh? Liquor, IL
quor everywhere, and not drop
to drink" He ran his hand in his
pocket and proffered the tramp a
dime, but before it could be ae-
cepted the other young fellow in
terposed. "say," he said, "let's do
the good Samaritan, and set Hobo
up to good drink" The other
hilariously consented, and the
tramp slouched into the saloon at
the heels OF the two gilded youths.
The bar-keeper set before them
glasses and liquors, and with a
hand that shook the tramp poured
out brimming glass, and raised,
it to his lips. "stop,n cried one of
the young men drunkenly, "make
US speech. It is poor liquor that
doesn't unloosen a mans tongue.n
The tramp hastily swallowed

quor coursed through his blood, he
Strengthened himself, and stood be-
fore them with a grace and dignity
that all his rags and dirt could not
obscure.
"Gentlemen," he said, IT lGok to-

ture OF my lost manhood. This
bloated face was once as young and

men. I, too, once had home and

as beautiful as an artists dream,
and I dropped the priceless pearl
of her honor and respect in the
wine cup, and, Cleopatra-like, saw
it dissolve, and quaffed 1t down in
the brimming draught. I had
children as sweet and as lovely as
the flowers of spring, and I saw
them fade and die, under the

Captain Peter H. Peterson, an expert
enced miner, says the best time to cross
Chilkoot pass is in November. Then the
ice is hard enough to travel on and the
Light snow can be easily traversed with
mowshoes. Captain Peterson will make
journey over Chilkoot pass in novel
way the present winter. He will fasten
stakes securely in the snow. Over the
top of these he will pass by means of
pulleys line leading over the steep
part of the mountain and down the 9TH
er side.
The novel device will be operated as
follows: A number of men will drag q
sled lead of provisions to the top of the
pass by main force. There they will at
tach the sled to the trolley overhead and
start it sliding down hill on the farther
side of the Chilloot pass. The sled that
goes down hill ON the farther side will
by its weight and momentum drag up
another one at the entrance to the pass.
The process will continue till all Cap
tain Peterson's party and a large outfit
of provisions are thus conveyed over the
difficult route. The chain of lakes at
the head of the Yukon will be traversed
by sleds with sails attached. Perhaps
this kind of coasting will become fa-
vorite winter amusement with the Alas
ka Four Hundred of the future.
