crashing into the vehicle and terribly

'There's your grub. Take it and light
out. shall give full description of
you to the authorities at Dyea and see
that it is sent to Dawson. Somebody is
sure to hang you both before long"
AS he spoke he cut their bonds and
then mounted his horse.
Half an hour later our friends were
we'll on their way, While the baftled rob-
bers We're trudging tediously along to-
ward Fort Selllirll in moody silence.
Their plots had failed, and here we
must leave them to their fate.
1t was happy party that rode into
Dyea five days later. The capitalist was
eager to close his advantageous bar
gain, and the business was soon trans
acted. Taylor received draft for $780,,
900 on responsible San Francisco par
ties, and when the bags of gold dust had
been safely deposited on board the
steamer all care was at an end.
1t was the first night out from Dyea
that Tom Scott found Avery alone on
the deck, and in a few manly words de-
clared his love for Clara, asking her
AAAAiSA . PSA 1A1sS9lO1A W A4OAA y lSi.
What does size say?" asked the old
MINER soberly.
Tom blushed like schoolgirl and re-
piled:
II haven't asked her yet"
Then do it, my lad. She's been the
boss this long time. Strikes me you're
pretty sure what she'll say to ask me
first, you rascal"
But Tom was already gone, and we
cannot follow him. Suffice it to say
that the other men saw but little of
him for the rest of the voyage.
At Seattle the party decided to re-
main a day in order to procure more
suitable clothing. They went at once
to hotel and registered, and half an
hour later stranger accosted Tom,
saying:
"Mr. Thomas Scott, I believer"
Tom admitted his identity and the
man continued:
II have been hired by Capt. Scott,
your father, to find you. He is at the
Palace hotel in San Francisco, waiting
for news Of you. Will you wire to him,
or shall I do it?''
For a moment Tom was too aston
ished to speak; then he bolted for the
telegraph office.
Three days later there was joyful
reunion of father and son. and all mis-
understanding We're explained. The
gold was found to be worth nearly
$4,000, and after q, division had been
made the friends separated. Within a
week Clara Avery became Mrs. Thomas
Scott, the two parents being present at
the ceremony.
The wedding trip was to New Eng
land, which Tom declared should be his
home for the rest of his days, although
he had found riches elsewhere.
"And what else did you 1ind?" pouts
his bride.
Reader, how would you have an

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Romantic BetrOthals of Garabaldi
and Bismarck to Their Life
Partners.

One is always afraid that when a
man falls suddenly love he may fall
out of it equally quick, but among cele-
DRAFTED men of the century who have
fallen in love at first sight and married
happily are Garibaldi and Bismarck.
In Garibaldi's autobiography the
story of his love is told. He relates
how, feeling the need of some one who
would love him, and believing women
to be ''the most perfect beings" he
determined to seek Il wife for himself.
He was then pacing the deck of the
1tanarica, and he CHANGED to look upon
the houses of the Barra, little hill
at the entrance of the Laguna of St.
Catherine, in Brazil. With the aid Of
glass which he carried he saw q
young girl, and he ordered the men to
put him ashore. On landing he tried
to find the house which he had seen
from the ship, but failed, and, meeting
an acquaintance, he accepted an invita-
ton to take coffee at his house.

Bismarck's courtship was equally

to Fraulein Won Puttkammer at we'd

this time he was a wild youth, whose

the lady's parents invited him to visit
them that they might know something
more about him than report told them.
At the time of his arrival the parents
were ready to greet their guest with
proper solemnity, and their daughter
stood by with downcast eyes. Bis
marcls rode up and, hastily alighting,
threw his arms around his sweetheart's
neck and kissed her before anyone had
time to protest. The result was for

There was no desire for sleep in the

of the camp fire grave was dug and
the body of the unfortunate sailor
placed beyond the reach of any wild

the dawn was near.
Avery dressed Bowers fingers to the
