 ''I made 6 break for the door and sprinted along the hall, throwing my light and catching sight of that gate again and smiling to myself as I saw it. swung it around shut after me as I passed and went on down the stairs, leaving the man up stairs coming along the hall overhead with rush.
 " But it's all right, I says to my self; the gate'll stop him long enough for me to get out easy. But, by snakes, it didn't stop him at all. On the con trary, it helped him. Just as was stepping down from the last step on to the floor of the hall below the man fell on my back.

Drives Moose and Caribou to the Snow

 Not only do the Yukon noegY itces attack men and overwhelm them, but they drive the moose, deer and caribou up the mountains to the snow line, where these animals would prefer not to be in berry time They kill dogs, and even the big brown bear, that is often miscalled a grizzly, has succumb- ed to them. Bears come down to the river from the hillside ill the early fall to get some of the salmon that are often thrown upon the banks when the run" is heavy.
 If bruin runs foul of a swarm of mos quitoes and has not his wits about him his day has come. The insects will alight all over him. His fur protects his body, but his eyes, ears and nose will soon be swollen up and bleeding, strong wind he will be driven mad and blind, to wander about hopelessly until he starves to death.
 Although the Alaska summer is short, two broods of mosquitoes hatch out each year, and are ready for business from one to ten seconds after they leave tho water It rains a good deal along the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it drives the mosquitoes to cover. They hide under leaves and branches until the shower is over; then they come out boiling with rage at the time they have been forced to spend in idleness, and the miner has harder time than ever after his respite.
 Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not contemporaries in the States. but in Alaska it is different. Snow does not bother them so much as rain, and an early snow may fall while they are still on the wing. Fog does not choke them either. They appear to like it. They float about in it as in ambush and take the unwary prospeetor by surprise Denver Times,
