Yard, is one Of them, If the Wayfarer

Conroy never drinks anything which
is Intoxicating, a highly-commendable
trait in a man. whose business 1t is TO
shift cars week in and week out, the
work frequently calling for the exer-
else of great nicely Of judgment. Some
nights ago he went to bed, tired cut
bv the work Of day, and was soon
asleep. Then he dreamed a dream. IT

bordering on delirium tremens. AT the
critical iuncture when he was to see
snakes and the other animals belong

awoke and felt like kicking himself be-
cause he had missed the show Next

was anxious to learn what would re-

provide himself with a fifty-cent inter

The revenue stamp was easy enough,
but getting a bondsman in a strange
city was different.
while the two were conversing a
small, slender, light complexioned
young man, dressed in black from head

the deputy.

DoNOvAN's RARE POSSESSION.

DONOVAN'S RARE POSoESSlON'
Martin Donovan, janitor of the
Equitable building, has three jars OF
Delaware peaches which he prizes quite
highly, and, when the Wayfarer's read
ers know why, they will agree that his
appreciation is not misplaced.
In October, 1865, thirty-three years
ago, Mr.. DonOvan's mother, Mrs. Ann
Donovan, Of Wyoming, Kent county
canned eight or ten dozen jars of the
fruit. When she died. shortly after
wards, the heirs divided them, and Mr..
Donovan got his share. He still has
three of the jars, and the peaches are
TO all appearances, as good to-day as
they were when put up in 1865.
"The jars which we now get for As
cents a dozen then sold for $3.50" said
Mr.. Donovan to the Wayfarer yester-

THE RuRNTNG BANDAGE.

A young FELLOW who resides out IN
the neighborhood OF Ninth and DUPONT
streets. recently had the misfortune TO
run a nail in his toe. There are var-
Gus homely remedies for such an in
jury, and he adopted one OF them which
was the placing OF shoemaker's wax on
the wound. Then, the Wayfarer is told,
he wrapped both wound and wax up
in a bandage. The heat from the toe
warmed up the wax and it took a te-
naclous hold on the injured member
and the rag. Shortly before
noon yesterday he decided that
he would dress the wound. II was
discovered that it was much easier to
put the wax and bandage on than 1t
was to get them Off. He suffered ex-
cruciating pain in his endeavors, and
finally gave up trying. A friend sug-
gested that he light match and heat
the wax. Acting on the suggestion he
struck the match and held it close TO
the wax. Just how 1t happened he can
not explain. but the bandage caught
fire and in about a second, without the
least of pain, the burning bandage and
obstinate wax-poultice were lying some
feet from where he sat- and the injured
toe was ready for another dressing. II
is needless for the Wayfaror to stat,
that shoemalSer's wax did not figure in
the second application.

CHAPTER II.
AT .JUNEAIT CITY.

The foregoing will explain how it
came about that the steamer from
Seattle to Juneau, in early April, 1897,
bore among its numerous passengers,
three persons in whom we are inter
ested In honor OF the occasion, jeff
Graham wore substantial coat over
his red flannel shirt, while the boys
were warmly clothed. They were in
high spirits, for youth is always buoy
ant at the prospect OF adventure, es-
pecially when the promise OF great
reward lies at the end
The steamer was crowded with gold
seekers. for the news of the rich finds
in the Klondike region had already
spread along the Pacific coast, the wild
rumors being received with distrust
in the east. The distance from Seattle
to Juneau is nearly thousand miles,
and is hardly the real beginning Of
the journey. Numerous acquaintances
were made on the boat, but, following
the advice of jeff, the cousins had lit
tie to say regarding their future plans.
In fact, they did not know enough
about them to give out information.
The cid miner believed in kepeing his
business to himself.
Junea, the metropolis OF Alaska, was
founded in 1880, and named in honor
of Joseph Juneau, the discoverer OF
gold on Douglas island, two miles dis
tant There is located the Treadwell
quartz mill, the largest in the world
The city nestles at the base Of pre-
cipitous mountain, $500 feet high, has
several thousand inhabitants, with its
wooden houses regularly laid out. good
wharves. water works, electric lights
banks, hotels, newspapers, schools and
churches.

plank to the landing, "but where can

THE CENTENNIAL
OF an Ohio Town to He Celebrated in
September


Special to the Register.
Gnadenhutten, Chic, January %
This is the centennial year of the
founding of Gnadenhutten as settle
ment Of white people, and the citizens
and Council of the Moravian church
have decided to celebrate the anniver-
sary appropriately. This town was
founded by Rev John Heckwelder, the
Moravian missionary, in the fall of
1878, and the celebration will occur in
September. A portion of the founda-
ton walls of the house Heckwelder
built that year is still standing. Twen-
ty-six years before it's settlement by
the whites it was settled as a Chris
tian Indian community. The Indians
were led there by the Indian Elder,
Joshua, under the guidance of Zies-
berger, the missionary superintendent.
1t continued as a Christian Indian set
tlement till 1872, when Col. David
Williamson and his band of leo from
tiersmen. made desperate by Indian
outrages visited this settlement and
foully massacred these peace-loving
Indians after inducing them to give up
their arms under pretext of wanting to
lead them to place of safety.
This butchery was one of the dark
blots on frontier history.

about it: he wants me to join him:
I'm going to do it and your boy Kos

airily: "the only question is how soon
you can git him ready A day oughter

other in establishment. They had not
dreamed OF anything like this, but if
the truth were told, Mr.. Palmer had
been SO wrought up by the wonderful
stories that we're continually coming
from Alaska and British Columbia,
that he was seriously thinking of join
ing the northward bound procession:
Startling as was the announcement
of Jeff Graham. discussion of the
scheme brought out more than one
fact to recommend it. The youths
were in perfect health; strong ana
athletic; Jeff volunteered to provide all
the funds needed ard his early eYpef-
fence in mining and his love for the
