ra wondered, as she stood there idly
looking into the street, how she could
ever have been foolish enough to take
Betty's love troubles seriously.
Meantime, that same folly of hers
was going to bear some very unpala-
table fruit. In less than ten minute
young Markham would be there. He
had arranged to call for Miss Helm
sley and her aunt, Lady Hewitt, to es-
cort them to an afternoon concert. The
elder lady had declared at luncheon
that the weather was far too depress-
ing for it not to be madness to risk the
probability of a further fall in ones
moral barometer by a couple of hours
of orchestral music, and that Nora
must give him some tea and her ex-
cuses.
Nora was conscious that this was a
neat preteXt for giving the young

lent, naturally, not to be heartily
weary of her duties as chaperon to her
niece. An attractive heiress was a
responsibility little to her taste, and
the girl felt that, ineligible as most
Mothers and responsible people would
have termed Ted Markham, with his
post in the foreign office and his mea-
ger personal fortune, Lady Hewitt
would pen her arms gladly to him If
he would but relieve her of her oner-
GUS duties of watch dog, and would de-
clare that Nora had money enough for
them both.
Nora sighed as she stood at the win

the wrong people were always being
thrown together. If only

Fortunes In Mining Stocks,

In November, 1870, Crown Point
Mine shares were a drug in the market
at 81 a share. Six months later they
were eagerly bought at Sc, 900. In the
summer of 1870 a struggling Frisco
tradesman accepted 100 of these shares
in payment of a debt of ELS, and
counted the transactions among his
many unlucky ventures. He decided to
hold the shares, however, and exactly
a veal later realized them for f120, 900,
or the substantial return of "a, 300 for
every pound of the original debt.
Within a single year shares in the
Consolidated Virginia and California
mines rose from Is Cd to FL, 900 a share.
A horse dealer, called Baldwin, of San
Francisco, bought 900 of these shares
at 6s each on the eve of a business voy-
age to Australia. On his return he had
almost forgotten that he had the
shares, when to his amazement he
found that they had increased in value
to 5 $500, 900, or E700, 900. Belcher
stock went from IS to Els in a single
week, and similar rises were expert
enced in scores of different shares.
During these years enormous fortunes
were lost through want Of pluck or
foresight. Comstock, the ~discoverer of
the richest lode in the world, was SO
ignorant of the value of his discovery,
that he sold his fourth share of it for
fl, 200, and counted himself a lucky
man. In six months this lode pro-
duced gold of the value of f3, 000, 900.
In ten years two mines alone on the
lode yielded over f22, 900, 900, and in
fourteen years the lode had produced
f26, 500, 900 in dividends to its lucky
shareholders.

Girl Ushers in a Church.

Because the members of his church
were negligent in attending Sunday
services and still more SO in contribut-
ing to the support of himself and the
church, Rev. Maurice Penfield Fixes,
pastor OF the First Baptist church at
Trenton, N. j., decided to try an inno-
walton to attract people to hear him
preach and their nickles and dimes
from their unwilling pockets. He in
troduced pretty girls as ushers, and is
more than pleased with the results of
the first experiment. Mr.. Fixes had
the sagacity to make announcement
of the fact that the young women
would show folks to their seats and
take up the collection. He was care
full, too, to pick out six of the prettiest
girls in his flock, SO the church had
more young men in its pews than had
ever before been seen there. Every
seat in the church was filled long be-
fore services were begun, and it was
necessary to get chairs in the aisles.
AS ushers the girls were a grand sue
cess, but their best services were given
when the time came to take up the col
lection. The innovation doesn't meet
with the approval Of the other preach
ers, who say that when people are
drawn to church simply for the privi-
lege of looking upon a bevy of pretty
girls there is no lasting good to be ex-
pected from it. But Mr.. Fixes says
that he believes in getting people into
his church and he doesn't care how he
does it so long as the means are legiti-
mate and honest. 1t took long time
to take up the collection, but when it
was over and the money counted there
was nearly $500 to add to the treasury
of the church.

toilet articles, etc., all in a case with
pockets, one that can be rolled up and
tied. A few yards of mosquito netting
are necessary, for mosquitoes are pest.
Goggles to protect the eyes from snow
blindness are necessary. Pens, Ink,
pencils, paper and government stamped
envelopes, both Canadian and United
States, should be taken. A few books
are worth their weight. Fishing
tackle and shot guns are likely to
prove of service, as the streams TEEN
with fish and waterfowl are extremely
abundant in summer. Traps are use-
less, as all taking of animals for their
fur is done by Indians. A compass is
desirable, also snow calks for the feet.
For travel on the snow Yukon sled is
needed. No matter by what route one
travels or how he expects to transport
his outfit, there will be times either On
the journey in or later when he will
have to pack supplies on his own back,
and he should be equipped for it. The
ordinary packing straps cut and gall the
shoulders and let the load lie like
dead weight on the small of the back
and the kindeys. There are various
devices for overcoming these troubles.
The best of them are the Merriam
pack, by which the weight is thrown
upon the hips, and the Yukon packing
frame, which places the weight on the
shoulders. Either is worth far more
than it costs to the man who has to
pack his outfit. In packing it is
great mistake to overdo oneself or to
carry a load too far. The best plan is
to move the entire outfit along by short
stages, and then to stop work before
completely exhausted. One should be
especially careful not to sit around
without a coat when heated or to wear
wet clothing when not at work.
Every man going to Alaska should
take small supply of medicines
and surgical necessares. These out
fits, both regular and homeopathic, may
be procured in specially prepared cases,
and cost about $40. He should also
understand the use of the remedies and
appliances.
Finally, the best advice of all is to
take only the best quality Of every
thing, whether clothing. provisions or
utensils, and to procure them from ex-
perienced outfitters, who know just
what is wanted and how to pack it. It
is poor economy to save cent or two
pound on provisions and theh pay a
dollar pound to get this cheap food to
its destination.
These things can all be bought cheap
er and to better advantage at the outfit
ting points from which the steamers
sail than at any other place. 1t is both
economy and wilson to wait until the
final starting point is reached before
QUILTING, as perfect equipment. Sc
lected under the advice of reliable out
filters and properly packed, is half the
battle for success.
