HOMEMADE CARDS.

A lively game which one can make
and everyone can play, and which is
invaluable in giving young people an
education in poetry Is called the game
of hundred cards
One hundred cards are needed, upon
which are written either the first or the
last half of a very well known poem.
Excelsior" Tor instance, or The
Psalm of Life" or any verses with
which everyone is familiar. If the poem
chosen is short. it is all used; if long,
only part is written on the card.
The 50 cards containing the latter
half of the poems are dealt and laid out
in rows, face upward, before the paly-
eFs. One is chosen reader, to whom are
given the remaining cards, and he
reads the beginning of the poems in
whatever order they come from the
shuffled pack. Skill in playing this
game consists in remembering quickly
the line following the one read and rap
idly finding the card on which it is
written. Especially does the player
watch his own cards, and if he finds
there the end of the poem the begin
ming OF which has just been read, he
must pick it up before anyone else spies
it, and lay il aside. If some one else
spies the card first, he seizes it and
gives to the careless player several
cards from his own hand.
Whoever first dispOses of all his cards
is the winner. The players usually ar
range themselves in two sides, and
play with partners. 1t is a game which
may be homemade, and it is something
of an education in itself 10 prepare the
cards

CHAPTER XVIII.

The weather was mild, for the short,
oppressive northwest summer was rap
idly approaching. During the middle of
the day the sun was hot and the boys
perspired freely. BY and by would come
the billions Of mosquitoes to render life
unbearable. These pests often Kill bears
and wolves by binding them, and the
man who does not wear some protec-
ton is driven frantic, unable to eat,
sleep, live, except in smothering smoke.
JEFF had said that he meant to com
plete the work, if possible, and start
down the Yukon before that time of
torment arrived
For two days the boys wrought inces-
sanity. They had learned how to wash
and purify the gold in the crude way
taught them by the old miner, and the
rich reward for their labor continued.
Jeff had brought back on his previous
visit to Dawson City an abundant sup
ply Of strong canvas bags in which the
gold was placed with the tops securely
tied. These We're regularly deposited
in the cavern, where the party made
their home. until a row of plump re-
ceptacles lined one side of the place. 1t
was striking proof of the wonderful
richness of their find, that one of these
bags was filed wholly with nuggets.
which must have been worth SIS. 900 or
$50 600.
Early on the afternoon of the third
day another thought struck Frank
Mansley and he ceased shoveling grav-
el into the rocker for his companion
What IS it now?' asked Roswell
with a smile.
Don't you remember that on the first
day we arrived here, while we were
prospecting UP the little stream, we
saw that friend of Ike Hardman?"
Yes. of course"

time. She knew the EXcelsiors had

have written unless in dire straits, she
knew what had put them there, and so
she waited.
Several days passed without sign.
At length Frank Burton called on Mrs.
Wallace. and Gladys was summoned TO
the parlor.
My dear" said her teacher, as she
came in, Frank is here as a repre-
sentative of the band"
She looked at him inquiringiy; he
grew confused, but he managed 10
speak straight to the point.
I'VE present our compliments, and
ask you to become one OF us. We need

Gladys took the paper, and read it
carefully, while Frank watched for the
faintest CLEAN OF triumph on the child
ish face. But there was none; facts
were facts to that matter-Of-fact young
person.

quietly. Where shall sign?"
This was balm tO-his bOyish soul: in
the fu!lness OF his JOY he CALAMITY Of
fered his fountain pen to seal the COM
pact.
There is no need to say that the third
rehearsal was an overwhelming success
and that the EXcelsiOrs secured a good
round sum at the forthcoming concert
The slim, dreamy looking girl, in her
white gown, looked like a flower in the
midst of those sturdy lads, and the
tender melody that breathed from her
violin gave them the tone and color that
they needed.
Whether this was due to the new or
der of things, who can say? With
Gladys, the Excelsiors became famous
in their way; without her-but why
guess at improbabilities?

cumulated a good load to be distributed
among themselves. 1t may have been
that the expectation of this result
caused JEFF TO bring the burro back.
for with his help it would not be hard
to carry double the amount, especially
as everything else would be left be-
hind.
To the surprise of his friends. jeff
announced that it was necessary for
him to make another visit to Dawson
City. 1t was important business that
called him thither, but he gave no hint
of its nature. He hoped to be back
within two or three DAYS, and he de-
parted on foot, leaving the animal to
recuperate, and, as he grimly added.

jeff left early in the morning. The
afternoon was about half gone when
Tim, with an expression of anxious con-
Germ, announced that he had just re-
membered something which required
him to go to Dawson without an hours
delay.

in the dirt, suddenly stopped. with ex-
panding eyes.

piece of heavy wooden blanket, the
whole being mounted upon two rockers
like those of an ordinary child's cradle.
These were rested on two strong blocks
of wood to permit of their being rocked
readily.
This device was placed beside the

shoveled into the upper shallow box,
one of the party rocked ii with his
hand. while with the other he ladled

which held the gold. while the sand
and other matter glided over it to the
bottom of the box, which was so in
clined that what passed through was
washed down and finally out of the box.
Thin Stats were fixed across the bot
tom of the box, with mercury behind
them to catch such particles of gold as
escaped the blanket
The stuff dug up by our friends was
so nuggetty that many Jumps remained
in the upper box, where they were de-
tanned by their weight. while the light
er stuff passed through, and the small
er Jumps were held by deeper Stat at
the further end of the bottom of the
box. When the blanket became sur
charged with wealth it was removed
and rinsed in a barrel of water, the
particles amalgamating with the mer-
curry in the bottom of the barrel.
SlulclnS requires plenty OF running
water with considerable fall, and is
two or three times as rapid as the
method just described; but since it was
not adopted by our friends, a descrip-
ton need not be given.
At the end of the week, JEFF, with the
help of his companions, made a careful
estimate of the nuggets and sand
which they had gathered and slowed
away in the cavern, where they slept
and took their meals. AS nearly as
they could figure it out, the gold they
had collected was worth not quite
500 000-very fair wages, it will be con-
coded, for six days work by two men
and two boys. On Sunday they con-
scientiously abstained from labor,
though it can hardly be said that their

neighborhood of 400 pounds, it will be

could duck him and bind him TO 81

until we are quite sure she means mis-
chief" a resolution which they adopted
with groan.
They marched bravely to their next
rehearsal: the atmosphere was not
quite as friendly, but they tried not
to notice any falling off in interest.
Gladys was not to be seen. perhaps she
was not coming-ah, vain hope, there
she was, marching down the aisle, 10
a vacant front seat. As before, she
carried a salt cellar and a brown paper
bag. How innocent she looked as she
laid her things on the desk, folded her
hands and gazed expectantly at the

ment of desperate consultation; then
they faced about, manfully, grasped
their instruments as if they We're so
many explosives, and fell TO work
Strange to relate, Carmen glided
smoothly to the finish; the applause
was generous, and the flushed must
clans bowed smiling down dehantly at
Gladys. which was unfortunate, as she
was inclined to mercy, if, indeed. she
had any intention in the matter. Dur
ing the first number she had not opened
her little bag; now. however, she SEEM
ed suddenly to remember that refresh
ment was necessary and brought forth
her lemon.
The boys eyes were riveted upon that
terrible object; it fascinated them, and
when it was time for the second num-
Der they were panic-stricken. They tried
to signal Gladys without attracting at
tention. but she was sucking her lemon
with that PARKWAY, soulful expression,
which they had learned to dread.
At last Frank Burton stepped for
ward from among his mates: I am
very sorry" he began, we've don't
feel quite sure of ourselves this after
noon: 1 think-wed better practice a

BUT Frank shook his head. Il can't,

rather wait. too
Gladys brought her eyes back to earth
and took the lemon from her lips for
one brief moment.
ooh. please" she said, persuasively;
I'm enjoying it so much"
of course she was, the little witch;
that was the last straw; Frank held his
ground, the other boys were equally
firm. and so the second rehearsal could
scarcely be called an Improvement on
the first.

Gladys listened attentively. her quick
ear on the alert. her serious eyes fixed
upon the players; then she slowly and
contemplativeiy opened her little bag,
and drew out a lemon. 1t was large and
luscious looking; she bit off the top, and
began sucking it contentedly, dipping 1t
in the, salt now and then, as an extra
relish; she kept her gaze still upon the
platform. The music was not so smooth,
there was hitch somewhere, becoming
at last so painfully apparent that the
music master suggested a halt, and a
fresh start.
This was humiliating; they were
thoroughly familiar with the music, and
there was no reason why they should
fail. They plucked up courage and be-
gan again, but they could not help
sheepish glance toward Gladys, to see
how she was behaving under trying cir
cumstances. She was absorbed in her
lemon, seemingly unconscious OF any

ed the Excelsior band.
They understood the cause of the
break; it was the lemon that made
their mouths water and held the glands
of their threats in stringent grip; q
sudden tension of the muscles is death
to the playing of wind instruments, and
the sight of lemon has been known
to accomplish this in the twinNling of
an eye.
The Excelsior band grew pale to a
man: they made several unsuccessful
attempts TO pun themselves together,
but finally Carmen" was laid de-
spairingly aside: instead of the ap-
plause they had anticipated, they were
greeted with polite but chilling silence,
and were furious in consequence. AS

"See here fellows" said Frank that
night I'm the last man to cringe to a
girl, but we have our reputation to con-
slider: we must meet the enemy half
way, that's all"
After a stormy debate the Excel
siors" decided to hold forth flag of
truce. They sent the following note,
which Gladys received the next morn
ing:
Miss Gladys Vernon:
