CHAPTER III.
INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.

We left our weary Klondikers soundly
slumbering between the rails of the rail-
way, as tho express came laundering
on but neglected to state that they Were
on the side track. Such, however, was
the case, and 40 q matter OF course, they
escaped uniDjured and undisturbed, re
naming unconscious OF the arrival of the
train and totally oblivious of the flight
OF time.
AS might be expected. they were some
what surprised on awakiDg, to find ii
was broad daylight and to hear the little
birds kiyi in the adjacent sagebrush.
Not caring TO experiment furthe. with
Beale's bologna, they adjourned to the
Hotel Helix, where they enjoyed o
sumptnous breakfast. Feeling some.
what chagrined at their failure to make
connection with the express, they deter.
mined to get even with themselves by
counting ties.
Two days later in the afternoon, we
find the Long and Short OF IL at Pasco,
having traversed the entire distance from
Helix afoot, with the exception OF what
little they walked. Thinking TO husband
their limited capital. they concluded to
CuuiiuuU OH w tHN noAt Hbntton aLu 10,
where they could board, unobserved, the
blind baggage for Tacoma. In order to
reach the next station they would have
TO croas the Columbia river and the only
way Was by the N. P. r, r.. bridge.
Jones taking The lead, they proceeded to
cross, Smith bringing up the rear at
some distance.
Arriving near the center of the bridge,
Smith while looking back possibly with
the intention OF keeping his eye on
Pasco--inada misstep and like shot
he dropped between the ties, leaving his
outfit on the bridge! The last words
that he uttered as he disappeared be-
meath the angry turbid waters OF the
raging Columbia were farewell Mary

arose to the surface az the cruel waves

Meanwhile affairs in Athena were

"At the age of two months, ny baby
began to have sores break oa' 90 isright

plications that we could tli o. hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted physi-

the sore was gone. But to my surprise IL
two weeks more another scrofuious lock-

grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hooo's
earsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those

The readers Of The Ladies' Home

tele az any magazine pos esses. About
