The excitement over the discoveries
Of gold in the Klondike region shows
little abatement. although the begin
ming of the Arctic winter Is at hand. At
the middle of this month three thou
sand adventurers, with two thousand
tons of freight, were waiting at the en-
trance to the White Pass in Alaska
for an opportunity to cross the noun
tains to the Yukon river. Probably as
many more were at that time on their
way from San Francisco. Seattle and
elsewhere, few Of whom can possibly
reach the fields in season. So great
was the pressure to get into the fields
that Secretary Bliss of the Department
of the Interior issued formal note.
warning the public that the most SER
ious prlvation and danger awaited
those who made the venture this sea-
son.

The revolt on the northwestern from
tier of India has been made more SER
ious by the rising Of the Afridis. one
of the most powerful Of the native
tribes, inhabiting the hills in the
neighborhood of the Khyber Pass. The
Afridis are hardy and restless race
of mountaineers. They have been loyal

the Afghan war. Their present con-
duct suggests widespread concert Of
action among the tribes. inspired prob
ably by the preaching Of Moslem fanat-
les. The country is difficult one for
military operations, and the Indian
government is obliged to strongly pro-
tect the remotest outposts. as even a
slight reverse would stir up more
tribes.

About 10 miles from Ironton, on the

met native on mule, headed in the
direction of the town. After giving me
the usual salutation he queried:
Stranger, mebbe yo' passed last
night in Ironton?'
''Yes, did," replied.
'Was three or four people killed in
town while yo' was thar?'
'No; no one was killed"
"But six or eight folks must hev bin

II didn't hear of any one being hurt.

Nobody did. The town was very
quiet last night
"Shoo! Shoe! I can't make it out.

Helping Mr.. Higgins to Climb.

Helping Mr.. Higgins to Climb.
The trail Of Dog river ran through
groves Of cottonwood at intervals, and ]
was passing through one of these groves.
The hour was about noon, when man
suddenly confronted me with gun in
his hand and ordered me to dismount
and shell out. Ten minutes later he had
my horse, pistol, watch and money and
was out of sight. Two weeks later ran
across him at Chcryville and had him
arrested. He had been in Jail about an
hour when one of his friends called at
the hotel to see me
"You are certain that there can be no
mistake about this?' he began.
VERY certain"
You are ready to swear that Dill
Higgins is the man that robbed you?"

"It's just possible that it might have
been Bill, he went on, Just possible.
If it was him, and he did it to build
church in this town, you'd let up on
him, wouldn't you?"

churches. 4"
"No, I'm afraid not. but it's just pos
sible. / haven't talked with him, but I
rather think he feels for the fatherless
and wanted to start an orphan asylum.
If that was his motive, you d let up ON
him, take it?'
1T was bold faced robbery, and ]
propose to see him punished"
"Ah, yes. think I'd better go over
and see Bill and ask him what his mo-
tive was. I'll be back in half an hour"
When he came back, he said:
"If there's chance for fellow to
climb up you are man who'd give
him q boost, hope?''
II would. Was Mr.. Higgins seeking
to climb to the top Of the robbery bust
ness?'
mot at all, sir, not ut all. He wants
to go to the legislature, and he robbed
you to get funds to make the campaign
That's his ambition-to become the
