s,l her question, and Louise, having no
other alternative, replied:
"IIe went on dreadfally, mother, and
be made me cry"
"What was it he said?"
"Oh. lots OF things. He said he
wouldn't sell us any more goods with
cut money, and that he was not so rich
that he could feed paupers, and he
wasn't going to try. We would have to
pay money or 60 hungry and he didn't
care which. l didn't cry while was
there, but l felt so hurt that could
hardly keep back the tears, and when
got out of sight broke down and had q.
bong cry. Oh, how wish old Mr. Mark
ham was ille-like-"
Like who?n John Green asked.
"Lise-like you, pa" said the girl,
only too plainly terminating her speech
in a way totally different from what
she had originally intended.
Young as Louise was she was in love
with Paul Markham, and she blushed
at the mention of his name, and for
fear of betraying herself avoided it as
much as possible.
She did not tell her parents how Paul,
having overheard her interview with
his father, had followed her away from
the store, and came to her ont on the
prairie where she stopped to cry; nor
how he had spoken such consoling and
cheering words, and better still, offered
loan her portion of his small sum
of money. She had accepted his kind
words thankfully and declined his prof
cred loan with equal gratefulness, and
she felt that she had done perfectly
right, so there was no harm in keeping
her own counsel
Well said John, breaking a long
pause, Markham has shown what sort
of man he is, 1t was bad enough to
deny us a little favor after all the money
we have spent with him, and he might
have spared himself the trouble OF
adding insult to injury. Because we
have had misfortunes and are poor it
does not follow that every one has u
right to speak of us as paupers. To-mor-
row we shall have money with which
to buy goods, and not dollar of it goes
10 Markham-not one cent Of it,"
Having delivered himself thus John
Green fastened to drop the subject and
take up one more pleasant, and for,
an hour he and his wife talked about
the future, drawing pictures of prosper
Gus days and happy situations, as
though good times and prosperity were
assured facts No doubt the full inten-
ton of each was to delude the other,
and, however well they succeeded, each
retired to bed that night feeling that
the game had been productive of much
good, since both made pretense of be-
ing greatly relieved.
1t was a long time, though, before
either John or his wife slept, though
they both affected to have fallen asleep
directly In the quiet of the night the
thought of that mortgage came back

of life was gone from her eyes, leaving
pair of listless orbs that told all too
plainly their story Of misery and suffer
ing. There was no trace Of smile
lurking about the thin, compressed lips
that had once been rosy with health and
happiness. She was a perfect example
Of mental and physical debility-a liv-
ing result of hard times and mans in
humanity to man" She was dying,
inch by inch, of worry, want and work.
John Green glanced up.when his wife
appeared in the doorway, and motion
ing her to seat beside him attempted
to assume less melancholy air as he.

TRINITY CENTER, CAL, Aug. 1s-
Watching the Coffee Greek rush from tuis
end is lone continual round of pleas ure."
The feverish thing grows hourly as the
fairy tales fl oat out and the rushers plod
in. The shock of the rush which began
outside has just reached Trinity Center,
the one little supply towniet OF the Coffee
Creek and adjoining regions. The rush.
ers daily succeed better in keeping the
fifty-six miles OF dust between here and
the railroad at Redding on the move. and
all day pack-laden trampers, pack laden
m ules. special carriages and special stages
are stringing in with people hot ana
dusty who stop to rest, wash, drink, eat,
ask and talk at various crowded taverns.
From all accounts. more people are GO
ing into Coffee Greek over the three trails
to its head than over the old stage roBd
from Reading and Weavervilie. One trail
runs eighty miles from Gazelle on the
railroad through Callahan's rancho, en- ter
| ing Coffee Creek through Hard Scrabble
GuIch, and over this they are trooping
from all over Siskiyou County. A trail
runs from CastelIa from the railroad
through Cinnab bar, sixty miles to juno
ton with the other trail, four miles from
| Coffee Creek.
A miner of the Altoona quicksilver
mines at Cinnabar says they are pouring
in over that trail from Oregon. A third
| trail crosses the Salmon Mountain at the
west the extreme head of Coffee Creek
from the Salmon River, where live people
who never saw wagon. On a fairly re-
liable guess seventy-five day are reach
ing Coffee Creek over these trails.
But this procession from the East and
south out over the old Oregon stage road
is the main show. This is the end of
stage travel and is six miles from the
mouth of Coffee Greek, where wagon travel
ceases.

early this morning she has probably
already found a pocket of gold. She is

clothes in mine. Three or four years
ago she located land claim and water
right in Idaho and sold it. She has
money.
'I'm going out with my pick and pan,
just as miner should she said this
morning, "but hear there are no hotels
on Coffee Creek, and l won't camp out
without another woman along. 1 hear

live, and I'll be all right. I'll look for

Four Seattle Boys Strike II
Rich on the Yukon.
One Is Returning on the Port
land With the Product of
Their Claims.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 1S-Nearly
three days overdue, the steamer Al-Ki
arrived in port from Alaska this morning
at about $3.50 o'clock. The delay was
caused by stopping at way ports to re-
ceive freight, consisting principally OF
canned salmon. The ports touched on
the return trip were Metlakahtla, Boca de
Qnadra, ketchikan, Port Gravina, Yaas
Bay, Sumdum and Sheep Creek.
Considerable interest attached to the
coming of the Al Ki, for it was thought
she might bring tidlngs from the famous
Klondike diggings. Nor was the hope
entirely unfounded, for good news was
brought to Willis .Thorp of this city, in a
letter that came overland from Dawson

City and was brought down on the Al-Ki.
For the first time since early in the year
Mr.. Thorp hears from son, Ed, who,
it is believed, is.now o. the steamer Port
land, en- route from st. Michael, with
$4,000 in gold dust and nuggets, as the
result of few weeks work on the Klon-
dixie.
Three of Willis Thorp's sons and a
young man named Stewart started from
Juneau for Dawson City with herd of
cattle. The boys were to drive the cattle
into the interior, sell them and come back
for another drove, Willis Thorp in the
meantime having come to Seattle to pur-
chase another herd of cattle. The second
herd of cattle was purchased, but the
boys never came back, the father and
friends having no idea what became of
them. The first news from them came,
as stated. on the Al-Ki this morning
The letter stated that the boys on reach
ing the interior got the gold fever, sold
the cattle and bought claim, one OF
them returning after four months with
$13O, GOO in gold, and the others remaining
in the country 10 work the property. All
the three boys and young Stewart are
rich.
The Al.Ki brought down about sixty
passengers and 100 tons of freight and is
scheduled to leave again for the north to-

Reduced Rates Asked by Chicago
Jobbers Will Not BE Granted.

CHICAGO, July st has developed
that the conference Of executive Of
ficers of Western roads and members
of the National Merchants and Trav-
elerS' association, next Tuesday, has
been called simply for the purpose of
affording the executive officers an op
portunity of explaining, in general
way, the reasons which prevent the
roads from making reduced distrib-
uters' rates in the way they have
been asked to do. When the call was
first issued, the superstition was that
the roads were prepared to recede
from the position originally taken by
them, but they now appear to occupy
it as firmly as ever. A united confer
ence between the general managers
Of the interested roads and the mayor
and corporation council was not held
today. 1t will not be before next
Wednesday, and it is still doubtful If
. one will be held at ALL Railroad Of
ficials now say that the travelling men
are opposed to the proposed cheap
distributors rates, because, if they
proved successful, many firms would
make them the excuse for dispensing
with the services of their travelling
men.
