CHAPTER TX.
JOINING FORCES.

Tom and his party camped the first
night about 80 miles from Dyea. The
next morning they were early astir and
continued their journey. The young
girl was too full of life and spirits to
ride quietly at her fathers side, and
Tom had several long chats with her
as they wound their way along the
family trail.
She confided to him that she did not
remember her mother, who died when
she was very young. She had always
lived in Wisconsin with her father, and
was an only child. She refused to be
left behind on the present occasion she
said, and it was very apparent she
ruled her father in most things.
In return Tom described his life at
home, and the young girl listened with
breathless interest to the story Of the
voyage and his adventure at San Fran
cisco.
She was riding by his side late in the
afternoon when suddenly she pointed
to the summit of hill not far ahead,
and exclaimed:
"See! There's man coming this
way!"
She had scarcely spoken when the
second mate announced the same fact.
AS for Tom, he would not have seen an
army just at that time, for candor com
pels the statement that he was already
hopelessly in love with his fair com
panion, and paid but little attention to
other things.
Five minutes later Joe Tarbox had
met them, and Tom accosted him at
once with:
"How are you! Bound for Dyea?"
That's just it," was the response as
the man ran his eyes rapidly over the
liberal outfit with an appreciative
glance. "Where might you be head
ing?"
Were going toward Fort Selkirk, "
said Tom.
"Going down the river to Dawson?'
Its hard to tell where we'll fetch
up" replied the young man evasively.

terday. Friends of yours?''
What were they like?" asked Tom.

was a sailor. He said he was, and he
looked it. He was stout built, with a
nose that looked as if it was broken

The mates efforts and TarboX was APP
Iparently convinced, for he shook hands
warmly with the speaker and ex-
claimed:

Averys. They were old friends of his.
He told me to look out for them in
Dyea. Have you got the papers with

That's what have. Here they are,
all shipshape and above board" replied
Rider as he proceeded to extract them
from his belt.
THAT'S Dick Taylor's fist the world
,ver," assented Tarbox as he examined
the letter. 81 remember the day he
wrote that in our tent. We had just
found the first big mug"
He coughed to hide his confusion and
then added:
Its all right, of course, but man
has to be careful. Once let the mob
know where we are and what we've
found and we'd be overrun in no time"
| AS luck would have it Hank Bowers
chose this instant, when Tarbox was
examining the papers, to throw look
of ferocious triumph on the mate. AL
though neither of them noticed the fact,
Joe Tarbox raised his eyes just then,
and to man of his training nothing
more was needed to put him on his
guard.
He cast keen look at Bowers. and as
if his scrutiny had been satisfactory, he
dropped his eyes again, but there was
little hardening of the muscles about
| his jaw, and with careless twist of his
body he brought his weapon nearer his
hand.
He was too old a hand, however, to
make any outward sign of alarm, and
said, coolly:
cts pity you didn't pick up the 9TH
er Avery at Dyea. He ought to be there
by this time
"And how can we find your pardner ?"
asked Bowers.
do just as the letter says" replied
TarboX. Build fire and he'll see the
smoke and come. The route is too
crooked to describe
How long afore you'll be back with
the grub? We've got a good lot here,
but you can't hev too much"
It'll take me three days to get in
md two or three more to get what I
want. If 1 can't find horses I shall
have to go to Skaguay. I shar't be
back under fortnight or three weeks
at the best"
After finishing his pipe, Tarbox plead
ed fatigue, and rolled himself up in his
blanket. But there was no sleep for
him that night. The sinister look on
Bowers face had given him the clew he
wanted, and as he waited patiently for
daylight he muttered to himself:
THAT was close shave! There is
something wrong about that sailor, if
his company is anything to go by. II
this Bowers isn't the man saw driven
out of Joe Ladue's station for stealing
then I'm mistaken. Dick will be all
right. They may make all the fires
they want to, and that's all the good
it'll do them. I'll just bring back two
or three men of the right sort with me
There's no other way"
At the first sign of daylight he was
astir. A hasty meal was soon eaten
and, shaking hands cordially with both
men, he said:
Tell Dick I'll be back as soon as
can. You can't miss the trail.'
Then he struck out manfully on the
back track to Dyea, leaving the plotter:

fully a hundred feet high and accesi
only to the birds. On the right the
ascent was more gradual, but the trees
were very dense until the snow line was
reached.
Tarbox led the way among the bowl
ders at the foot of the cliff until he
mounted and said:
"We are here. Now for a fire"
Tom was about to go for fuel. when
he saw Tarbox reach behind rock and
bring out a handful of dry twigs and
moss, which he soon ignited. When the
blaze shot, up he covered it with damp
moss, and the result was adense column
of smoke which went curling up the
face of the cliff un til it showed distinct
ly against the sky above.
The other men busted themselveswith
the usual routine work of camping, but
Tarbox stood by the fire in silence for
gan to appear on his face, but suddenly
he gave a little exclamation of relief as
a pebble struck him on the shoulder and
rebounded to the ground.
It'll be back in a minute" he called
to Avery's daughter, who was nearest
to him. Then he disappeared behind
one of the rocks.
Like shadow he glided along in the
gathering darkness, twisting and turn
ing without hesitation until he stopped
at spot where the base of the cliff
was covered with scrub and moss. With
hasty glance about him, as if to be
certain no one was watching him, he
stopped and pulled aside a mass of
clinging creepers from the rock, reveal
ing narrow opening some three feet
wide and extending upwards to an I'M
| known height.
"All right, Dick, he whispered, softly,
and then came rustling noise as

LIKE MOLTEN SILVER.
A Traveller from the North Says
Behring Sea PhosphOrescence Sur
passes All Description.

II have often heard of the wonderful
phosphorescence of southern seas" re-
marked traveller from the north to a
Star reporter, land 1 have seen some
pretty fair samples of it in the Atlantic
between New York and English ports,
but / did not know it prevailed to any
extent in northern waters until during
the past summer. In August last /
was on board the revenue cutter Nc
Culloch, in the Behring sea, about SO
degrees north latitude, bound north,
when one night about ten o'clock hap
pened to go on deck, and / was almost
frightened by the sight of the sea.
The wind was blowing sharp enough
to raise the white caps, and the whole
sea looked as if it were lighted from
its depths by a million arc lights, throw
ing their whitest rays upward and un-
der the flying foam. The hollows of the
waves were dark, but every crest that
broke, showered and sparkled as if it
were filled with light. From the sides
of the ship great rolls of broken white
light fell away, and she left broad
pathway of silvery foam as far back
as the eye could reach.
But about this hour was the most
striking display. Here it was as if
the ship were blowing through a sea
of white light, and as the water was
thrown back from her prov it fell in
glittering piles of light upon the dark
surface beyond, and was driven far
down below, lighting the depth as if
all the electricity of the ocean were
shooting its sparkles through the waves
and turning itself into innumerable in
candescents that flashed a second and
then shut out forever. I stood on the
forecastle deck looking down into the
brilliant white turmoil of the waters
until began to feel as if we were afioat
upon some silver sea, and a really I'M
canny feeling took possession of me.
The white ship was lighted by the
phosphorescence of the waters, so that
as high up as the deck there was a pale.
wierd white, that made one feel as if
the Flying Dutchmen' were abroad
upon the seas and had passed by us.
The masts lowered in ashy gray above
the decks, and every rope and line
stood out distinctly in the light, but
cast no shadows. It was all as ghostly
as II we had gone up against the real
thing, and it was a positive relief to
get back into the ward room, where
there was something more human. T
don't know how long it lasted, but
when went to bed at II o'clock could
still see the silver shining through the
