What a Memory.

One rainy day in spring an old York
shire fisherman returned to his native
village after an absence of Is years,
and fearfu1ly sought the house which
sheltered his deserted wife. Entering
without knocking, he seated himself
near the open door, took long and
vigorous pull at his dirty clay pipe, and
nodded jerkily to ''t'owd woman -
'Mornin', Maria," he said, with affected
unconcern. She looked up from the
potatoes she was pealing, and tried to
utter the scathing TRADE she had daily
rehearsed since his departure; but it
would not come. "Ben," she said, in
stead, once more resuming her work,

THE WOMEN OF MANILA.
They Are Fond OF Rich Dress Fab
Eics and Possess . Decorative
Skill Peculiarly Their Own.

The Filipino woman inherits the
Spaniard's fondness for rich fabrics,
the Moorish love OF color, and a certain
sense OF contrast and decorative skill
peculiarly her own. In consequence,
the great merchants shops of Manila
exhibit some beautiful costumes-here
pale-hued satin, covered with old
Spanish lace and passementerie, and
cut to display bare arms, low neck and
back; near by a silk. whose faint glow
seems enmeshed with net and bars OF
ribbon; there is dress of soft pongee,
with black velvet appiques upon it in
fanciful design; just beyond a number
of pretty waists, pink, blue or greeL,
and stately robes of velvet, black olive
or maroon. for the eyer-present duenna,
while close by hangs some dainty silk
en- chemise, heavy with gold and silver
braid, and lace and satin bolero
CLEANS where the single jewel clasps
it at the neck.
These shops also handle a large and
fine assortment of laces, pongees, linens
and nets. These goods can be had very
cheaply. Ones measures are taken
deity, and the robe delivered at any
address within "a hours. Most of the
Philippine women prefer to sew with
a dressmaker in the house, however, in
stead of ordering the garment made up
in the shop.
Daintiest of all pretty trifies are the
mattings of which the Filipinos are so
proud, and which are used as mat
tresses, chair cushions and wall tapes
tries, window curtains, bed covers and
screens. Those used as bedding are
colored a deep, rich red, whose chem
icals are poison to all insects and YER
min. On them one can sleep in bliss
full security, though the ants are nu-
merous enough to devour one, and the
rats which scamper so fearlessly about
every Philippine bed chamber are large
enough to drag ones articles of dress
all over the room.
Some of the cushion mattings are
golden toned, almost luminous, with
suggestions of foliage dropped upon
them here and there as from a full
brush; others show unreal vagueness,
like the tops of bamboo groves in wind
and rain, or a swell of golden foam
against some eastern hills, and many
display gnarled branches, tangled with
river grasses, or green stretches of
rice field hanked by blue mountains.
Almost all are wildly individual in
color-thick gold, dark, rich hues,
strong black and white, soft, suggest

CHAPTER XI.
JUST TOO LATE.

When Joe TarboX left the mate and
his companion and started on his way
to Dyea the latter watched him until
he disappeared behind the first hill.
Then he turned to Rider and rubbed his
hands together gleefully.
"You done that fine!'' he exclaimed.
1--WE are all right now! Let's make
tracks. I'm itchin' ter git my hands on
some Of the yaller boys. Did yer notice
how that Teller choked himself off when
he started ter say somethin' bout a
nugget? I wouldn't give cent for his
chances Of SEEM 'em agin.''
Their horses were soon ready, and
| once more the two adventures took up
their route. Several times they missed
the trail, but after four days travel
they came to the white cliff mentioned
in the letter.

document at once.

Cali right. Here goes, but don't see
no signs of any trail. Well have to
keep our eyes open for that feller's
tracks, I suppose" rejoined Rider.
wheeling his horse as he spoke 'It's
| a mighty blind sort of a route along
| here, but I'll find it if there's gold at the
| end of our trip waitin' fer us. See if I
don't. I'm as good as one o. them di-
vinin' rods any time"
He seemed to be right, for he picked
mis- way along with marvellous accuracy
| until at length they reached an open
! spot. Here he paused and said:
Its guesswork now, but we'd bet
ter keep as nigh the same direction as
| we kin. We amt far from the end
now"
| But for once he was wrong. Had he
| diverged more to- the left he would have

! less eyes were always On the alert, and

he suddenly gripped Riders arm with
