fever up, but one by one the falsehoods were
being nailed.
The gold in the vicinity of Yakutat bay, in
the moraine Of the dead glacier, is very
scarce, and the formation in that section
would not yield to exceed one-half per cent
to the square yard.
One man recently returned to Seattle and
claimed that he received $3.50 for a claim in
that part of Alaska, and told of the great
wealth of the country. Mr. Preuss stated that
he knew for an actual fact that the claim was
offered to Dr. S. O.. Pine, of this city, for So,
and afterwards sold for $3.50. but the bill OF
sale read $500.

engine.r0Om. 1t was here that IN idea
came Into his brain that for absolute
daring and fearlessness was typical Of
the man.
He had noticed that every evening at
the time the men working In the engine
room were lined up to DO marched
away the machinery was stopped ut
exactly the same moment. He had
observed as well that a window lead.
Ing TO IN adjacent roof was not far
from the top Of the big driving belt
Of tho engine. From that roof II was
possible to reach the outer wall Of the
prison. Beyond the wall was freedom.
Apparently the window was beyond
all possibility Of being reached. No
ladder was to be obtained. Had such
thing been even standing In place
against the wall, to break from the
line and scale It with catlike dexterity,
although the work Of but few Sec
onds, he well knew would be futile,
possibly fatal. Bullets travel faster
than legs, and the guards were not bad
shots. But desperate deeds demand
desperate means. Some minds may
work with an ingenuity born Of de.
spair, but Steudman's was of a differ
ent caliber. His plans were the out
growth of steadfast optimism. He
never ceased y scheme, as he never
ceased to hope for liberty.
One day there came to him, as II by
inspiration, the thought that the big
belt might DO the means of carrying
him to his goal. He found that 1t was
impossible to count the revolutions Of
the driving wheel, but there were lac.
ings In the broad belt, which he was
able to distinguish as a sort of blur as
1t passed q given point. For days and
days he counted, and In his cell ut
night he spent his time In calculations.
One evening when the line had been
formed as usual at tho close of the
days work, and as the big wheel be-
gan to lose Its momentum, suddenly q
convict sprang from the line. leaped
to the belt, with outstretched arms
graphing both edges OF the broad
leather. He had calculated well the
strength that would be required. for
the terrific wrench did not loosen his
grasp. Outward and upward he swung
until he reached the tOpmOst point of
the circumference. The nicely Of his
calculation had reaped Its reward. The
belt stopped. He leaped to his feet,
sprang through the window, and was
gone before convcts or guards had re-
covered from their establishment. He
caught up a guards coat and hat,
dropped from the wall, and got away
in the dusk Of the evening. His des-
perate escape did not profit him. He
was recaptured and sent back to San
Quentin.

Thanksgiving days seem sadly out or t,ne when one remembers the old-fash- toned New England Thanksgivings of generation ago, when families who had been widely separated by time and dist ance met once again around the festive board, glad of the opportunity of re- newing the associations of childhood, as well as to enjoy the tempting food which, with great painstaking, had been prepared for. that occasion.
 Why, as Thanksgiving day drew near there was sort of festivity in the very air. One could not pass New Eng land farmhouse for days before hand without being unconsciously affected by it. The air was redolent with sum- dry spicy odors as the busy housewives compounded divers delicacies for the annual feast. The squealing of young pigs smote upon the ear, or the fright ened cackle of fowls in the poultry yard gave unmistakable evidence that the thrifty mistress, with president eye and on slaughter intent, was selecting the finest and fairest of her flock for early destruction.
 In some localities of New England Thanksgiving was more universally eel ebrated in the families of orthodox Presbyterians than was Christmas it. self. Christmas belonged more exclu- siveIy to the Episcopal church, and their chantings and impressive ceremo- nials-to say nothing of the dim light stealing through tler gayly-colored windows-seemed to savor somewhat of popery, the more rigid sectarians de- clared.
 The world is progressive nowadays, and possibly our children might think the simple pleasures of those days which we remember as so delightful
