l,772 miles from Chicago, and where the
rail portion Of the journey ends. The rail
road fare from Chicago is $3.50. A
stage ride of forty miles will bring him
to Atha basca Landing. Here he will find
continuous waterway for canoe travel
to Fort Macpherson at the north mouth
of the Mackenzie river, from which point
the Peel river lies south to the gold re-
gions. From Edmonton to Fort Mac
pherson is 1882 miles.
The great advantage claimed for the
inland route is that it is an organized line
of comn.unicat ton. Travellers need not
carry any more food than will take them
from one Hudson Bay post to the next,
and there is abundance of fish and wild
fowl along the route. They can also get
assistance at the posts in case Of sick
ness or accident. If lucky enough to
make their pile in the Klondyke they
can come back by the dog-sled route in
the winter. There is one mail to Fort
Macpherson in the winter. Dogs for
teams can be bought at any of the Hud-
son Bay posts which form chain Of
roadhouses on the trip. Parties travelling
alone will need no guides until they get
near Fort Macpherson, the route from
Edmonton being so we'll defined. 1t is
estimated that a party of three could
provide themselves with food for the
canoe trip of two months for $50. Pork,
tea, -four and baking powder would suf-

II am glad to see Mr.. Carew," said the

CHAPTER XI.

L
Mrs. Carew was an important unit in
London society. She held ground pecu-
Harly her own. AS the duchess had said,
her personal appearance was something
wonderful. She had the fair, unruff1ed
face, the clear, serene eyes and calm smile
of a young girl She was SO quick, so vi
vacious so animated, that it was difficult
TO imagine forty summers had passed over
Aer head She had a charm of manner
that was irresistible Every one liked
Mrs. Carew. No one was jealous of her.
The gentlemen admired her-ladies did
the same. 1t was her talent that made
her so popular-the bright-eyed, fair
faced lady, who welded her brushes with
almost magical skill, was a genius.
Besides bijou house in Mayfair, she
had very beautiful villa at Kew When
she was tired of painting. tired of So
eiety, tired of the gay, brilliant world and
its ways, she went thither and spent a
few days in seclusion by the riverside.
No one knew anything of Mrs Carew's
past history. Her son, Beltran Carew,
was one of the most promising young
men in a day when many were Of prom
Use. He had been educated at Oxford,
and had chosen the bar as his profess
sion.
Mrs. Carew had many admirers, but
the only reply she ever made to offers of
marriage, to professions of attachment,
to VOWS and promises. was
"My dear sir, a burned child breads the
FIRE"
What mystery of pain and sorrow those
words covered no one knew; still, every
one instinctively trusted in her goodness,
her truth and purity.
The Duchess of Elmslie was very de-
sirous of having her portrait painted, and
the day had come at last when her grace
decided to CALL She wished to take Bea-
trix with her, because she knew that her
FACE would delight Mrs. Carew.
