CHAPTER VIII.

III BNShEN liLlA
Pauline Darrell was q keen, shrewd OBJ
server OF character. She judged more by
small actions than by great ones; IL was /.
characteristic of hers. When women have
that gift, IL is more to be dreaded than the
cool, calm, matured judgment OF men. Men
err sometimes IN their estimate of character,
but II Is very seldom that a woman makes a
similar mistake.
The garden path widened where the tall
white lilies grew in rich profusion, and there
Pauline and Captain Langton walked side
by side. The rich, sweet perfume seemed ia
gather round them, and the dainty flowers.
with their shining leaves and golden bracts,
looked like great white stars.
Captain Langton carried a small cane In
his hand. He had begun TO talk TO Pauline
with great animation. Her proud indifer-
ence piqued him lie was accustomed TO
something more like rapture when he de
voted himself to any fair lady. He vowed
to himself that he would vanquish her pride,
that he would make her care for him, that
the proud, dark eyes should soften and
brighten for him; and he gave his whole
mind to the CONQUEST. As he walked along,
one of the tall, white lilies bent over the
path; with one touch of the cane he beat it
down. and Pauline gave a little cry, as
though the blow had panied her. She stop
ped, and taking the slender green stem in
her hand, Strengthened It.: but the blow had
broken one OF the white leaves.
"Why did you do thaty' she asked, in q
panied voice.
1T is only a flower" he replied, with a
laugh.
Only a ilowerl You have killed il. You
cannot make 1t live again. Why need you
have cut its sweet life short?'
1T will not be missed from among q
many" he said.
"You might say the same thing OF your
SELF" she retorted. The world Is full of
men and you would hardly be missed from
30 many; yet you would not like"
There Is some little difference between O
man and a flower, Miss Darrell" he inter-
rupted, stiffiy.
There is. / deed; and the flowers have
the advantage" she retorsed.
The captain solaced himself by twisting
his mustache and relieved his feelings by
some few muttered words, which Miss Oar
rell did not hear. In her quick. impulsive
way, she judged him at once.
III Is cruel and selfish" she thought; .he
would not even stoop to save the life OF the
sweetest flower that blows. lie shall not
forget killing that lily she continued, as she
gathered the broken .chalice, and placed II An.
her belt EVERY time he looks at me" she
said, 'he shall remember what he has done.n
The captain evidently understood her ami
able Intention. and liked her accordingly.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming To Alaska or thu
Nlondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
ever miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other II
thing will his success or failure de-
pend.
These supplies must be healthful
and should be concentrated, but the
most careful attention in the selection
OF foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter Is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the helplessness of a
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the ba-
con is sweet, sound and thoroughly
cured. These are the absolute neces-
sites upon which all must place a
chief reliance, and can under no cir
cumstances be neglected. They may,
Of course, be supplemented by as many
comforts or delicacies as the prospec-
tor may be able to pack or desire to
pay for.-From the Alaska Mining
journal.

An Electric Light for Divers,

The submarine arc light has been
invented, which will be of great value
in diving and wrecking operations.
Such q light would have been well
coined by the naval officers charged
with investigating the causes of the
wreck Of the Maine. The apparatus
consists of containing case made of
glass and metal, inside of which is the
lamp, which receives the current
through a double conductor water
proof cable. The light is lowered into
the water and can be moved by the
diver so as to spread the light equally
on all sides, thus affording concen-
trated beam on the hole in a ships
bottom.
lin conjunction with this powerful
light the camera plays an important
part in reproducing perfectly truth
full likeness of what actually exists at
depths where the professional diver or
engineer may not care to go. Such q
record serves to insure perfect un-
derstanding between the diver and
those in charge of work.
There are many practical uses to
which this invention may be put.
Among the possibilities mentioned are
examining and cleaning the bottoms
of merchant and battle ships, attach
ing hosting chains to guns and other
movable parts on sunken vessels, plac-
ing and recovering submarine mines,
constructing bridge piers, Golfer dams
and in photography. - New York

Causes of Inebrletr In Women.

Inebriety is bad enough In a man, but in
woman 1t is even more pltiable, and, II It
be possible, more far-reaching and more
dreadful in its results. With women 1t
would, we think, be safe to say that the
origin OF the drink habit lies In perturbed
physical conditions-in fact, that 1t is a
disease, and not mere moral obllquity, as
many would have us believe. The conse-
quences OF alcoholism In women are not so
quickly evident as in men. In the earlier
stages OF inebriety in those cases in which
there Is power of volition, a peculiar
shrinking from publicity protects some
women against the symptoms noted
among men at a like period. Two causes
may be given for the lapse Of women into
lnebriety. First is the nervous condition
due to lack Of nutrition and the wear and
worry OF domestic life and the demands OF
society-an exhaustion for which relief is
mistakenly sought in the transient aid Of
alcohol; secondly, the pain and unrest In
cident to disorders of their sex, for which
solace is sought in the anesthetic and
pardlyzlng effects OF alcohol. In the first
case the woman who flies to drink must be
unaware or unmindful OF the fact that its
taking involves q great risk of creating a
morbid condition that often find express
sion in constant inebrlety. In the second
case, the so-called solace, with startling
and sorrowful frequency, ends In confirmed
alcoholism.-New York Ledger.

A Ducks Wonderful Walk.

New Zealand is justly proud Of q
wonderful duck, whose exploits are
told in letter to the London Specta-
tor by J. NJ. Ritchie, Esq, of Balvrald,
Dunedin.
This duck was Of the Paradise var
iety. 1t lived at a sheep station
twenty-one miles from Timaru, Can
terbury, where its owner, q house
keeper, had clipped its wings so that
should not fly.
When the housekeeper changed to
new place she took the duck with
her in basket by train to Timaru, by
another train for ninety-five miles, and
in coach ten miles to her new home.
Soon the duck, which had been liber-
ated from its basket, was missed and
mourned for as lost.
Some time after the housekeeper
visited her old home, and was aston
ished to see the duck swimming on its
familiar pond. That it slowly and
painfully waddled 100 miles was oh
vious. But how did it find the way
through a rough and billy country?
