A few moments sufficed to dress the

To aid in identifying the two robbers
Tom was about to start for his hotel
when his new acquaintance said, blunt
ly= i
Hold on a minute. I'd like to know
the name of the man who stood by an
old chap tonight and saved my life.
How did you happen along so handy

MY name is Tom Scott, and 1 hap

rob somebody, so kept an eye on
them. That's ALL"
NO, it amt all, by long chalk" "
was the hearty response. you did
more'n that, and I might be chucked
into the dock before this only for your
pluck. Ny name is John Avery, and
I'm pretty well known along the water
front as man of my word. If can
ever do you a good turn you can count
on me. Live here in the city?"
~No, I'm just from New Hampshire" !"
said Tom.
Looking for work?"
No, I'm trying to find a chance to
get to the Klondike" q
Then; by thunder, you needn't look
any longer" was the prompt reply, "be-
cause I'm bound there myself, and you
shall go with me if you want TO. I
wouldn't ask better mate than you.
Where are you stopping?"
Tom mentioned the name of his hotel
and the other said at once:
"All right. Let's go there and talk
this thing over"
Half an hour later they were seated
In the smoking room and Toms modest
story was told. When he had finished
his friend said:
That's a good, straight yarn, and
some day may have one TO tell you
that will open your eyes. All need to
say now is that my name is Jokr ssery.
TIM an old 49-er without wife or child,
and I'm bound for the Klondike TO get

Tom protested family, but he was
overwhelmed at the prospect, and soon
yielded.
Well see about getting your passage

Then, pressing Toms hand warmly,
the old miner said:
Good night, mate. You oughter
sleep well after saving mans life, and
money, too. Do you know I have $4,000
I'm my clothes, and but for you II
W1uIdn't be there now"
There was suspicious moisture in
bis eyes, as he turned hastily and left
the room, leaving g Tom to his pleasant
thoughts. INK frt.ft
He could hardly realize all that had
been crowded into the few hours since
his arrival, and his sleep was broker
by Gfful dreams, in which revolveri
