wAYLA1p AND ROBBED.

When Tom Scott went ashore in
Frisco he found the city was Klon-
dixie mad. On every hand were huge
posters calling attention to the su-
perior merits Of some particular route
to the fields Of gold, and men of all
walks in life were strainirg every nerve
TO be among the first to reach the Nu-
kon with the advent Of spring. Several
steamers were loading al the piers, but
every inch Of space on board had been
engaged months ahead. After consulk
ing with Capt. Coffin he determined to
20 by rail to Seattle and trust to luck
TO secure a passage from that port.
He made no mention of the singular
secret bestowed upon him by the old
miner but frankly told the captain of
the money he had received from the
same source, and the latter promptly
gave him some good advice.
Better not be drifting round FRS

warning and left the larger part of his
money in the safe. but he kept the two
precious papers in his money belt, d

Carefully arranged in the various

contained these lines in a bold hand:

Toms heart was beating Ike trip

CHAPTER III.
"1 GIVE MY SHARE TO YOU"

A Oui lh'hit Hi"h''
1t was an hour before sunset and the
two passengers were leaning over the
stern watching the water fly swiftly
under the counter, when Il loud shout
from aloft attracted their attention.
Looking quickly up they had barely
time to spring aside when heavy block
struck the deck beside them with ter
rife force. A rope attached TO it hit
Toms companion across the chest,
sending him backwards. His heels met
the wheel ropes and the next instant he
struck the water asteTn and Cisap-
pcared from Toms sight.
II had all happened so quickly that he
hardly realized what had occurred until
The sailor aloft shouted:
Man Crcrboard Man overheard"
With the promptitude Of n sailor the
man a the wheel spranc 10 the rail and
rut aG4.lt the life preserver, which was
always ready for use, and at the same
time the captain rushed on deck and
ordered the ship hove to.
Then Tom tore off his coat and shoes
and leaped over the rail before the cap
tain could detain him.
Like most Cape Cod boys, he had
learned to swim at an early age, and
pond in Mcrrivale had enabled him TO
indulge in the exercise in late years, so
that when he came TO the surface he
felt no anxiety for himself. although
the vessel was some distance away.
He struck out with all his might in
the direction of the vessels wake, and
soon caught glimpse of a white face
ahead rising and falling on the waves.
Keep up till l reach YOU" be shout
ed TO encourage Avery, who was fully
so yards away.
There was no reply, and when Tom
was within a dozen strokes Of his friend
the latter suddenly threw up his arms
and began to sink.
Tom reached the spot just in time TO
grasp his hair and drag him to the sur
| face, where he lay utterly unconscious
and unable TO assist himself. Tom sup
ported him as best he could, but his
clothes soon began TO drag him down,
and his limbs felt like lead. He was
nearly spent when something white
swept before his eyes on the top of a
sea, and he saw that it was the life
buoy. With last effort he struck out
and succeeded in grasping il.
In the meantime the Seabrd had been
brought to the wind and boat lowered
with all possible speed, but j, is slow
operation al best, and the craft was a
half mile distant before the boat struck
1.-the water with Capt. Coffin in her stern.
Although The buoy supported Tom
easily, he found il 10 easy task to keep
the unconscious mans head above the
surface, and when the boat reached
them be was pulled from the water IN
a state of utter exhaustion.

Mr. Freudenthal made brief address
saying that a crying need existed for &
commercial club, board of trade, or
chamber of commerce, closing by re-
marking that this was meeting OF

The secreta ry called the roll of the
names of seventy-five firms who had
signed the agree ment to meet and form
a commercial club, as pu blished in the
HERALD, and but few firms on the list
failed to respond.
After the roll call had been COM
pleted the list was passed around
among the audience and number of
new signatures were added.

the audience express their views as to
what kind of an organization was want
