ROMANCE OF THE NORTH.
Her Voice Would Make a Klondike
Winter Seem Like a Tropic Dream,
Yet She Refused the Count.

Lady Clara Klondike, the golden
haired daughter of the first Duke of
Dawson, stood within the grand oak
en- hall of her fathers palace, overlook
ing the frozen river and the snow-clad
hills. She was clothed heavily in rich
and elegant furs, for the winter had
been long and hard and the end was
not yet
She shivered as the seneschal an
nounced the arrival of the Count of st.
Michael. Full we'll she knew the in
tent of the counts visit, and she steel
ed herself for the encounter which she
knew must follow upon their meeting.
Seeing the fair being standing by the
fire place of the drawing room, look
ing more lovely than he had ever seen
her, he approached her side in a whirl
Of emotion.
"At last" he calculated in suppress
ed tones.
"Why?" she inquired in tone of
voice which made the Klondike winter
seem like tropic dream.
"Oh, sweet Claire" he murmured,
$50 long have l yearned for this mo-
ment. Day unto day uttereth speech
and night unto night showeth knowl-
edge, but all days were dumb to me
and all nights black in ignorance while
l have been waiting to come thus into
your presence and offer you my heart,
my hand, and my fortune"
Thus speaking he flung himself at
her feet, the meanwhile ten large and
soiled Indians from the headwaters Of
the river came forward rolling into
the reception room ten barrels of pure
unadulterated gold dust, worth Sl935
an ounce at any mint in the land
At first Lady Claire's fair face took
on kindly look, and there was in ID
almost a rosy flush of hope. She
watched the barrels eagerly, for they
looked so much like barrels her father

was wont to pack hams in ere he had
come hither from Chicago so many
years agone.
However. it was but moment until
she detected nothing in the barrels but
gold dust, and she involuntarily and
convulsively clutched at her hedia-
moned and gold stomacher, hanging
now so loosely about her fair form.
The count, still at her feet, took nc
notice, for he had not spent the VIM
ter in Klondike, and did not know how
it was
AS she saw what the count was law
ishing upon her, she drew back and
touched him with her foot as a token
that he might arise.
Take back your gold, count" she
said, waving her lilly-white hand for
the Indians to withdraw as they had
come, that is, accompanied by the barr
rels. Take back your gold, have no
use for it here. 1t was kind of you to
think of it. and | am sure | appreciate
your courtesy. but Charlie McManagin
