The Case Of Reuben Wright-Dangers In
the Use of Alcohol Which Professor

Now, Reuben vas friend Of mine,
And stauncher could not be,
man OF henrt-of muscle-mfnd,

Nor sure could wish to see.
His farm was like garden plat,
Titled with such watchful care;
His barns were filled from bay to roof
His granaries held more than enough,
Aud large his store and share.
His good wife, all wife could be, his chill

His home was like an Eden spot, and happy

CHAPTER TX.
JOINING FORCES.

Tom and his party camped the first
night about 30 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
faintly-marked trail.
She contided 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 II 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 a hill not far ahead,
and exclaimed:
"See! There's "A 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.
peIs 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 appreclative
glance. "Where might you be head
ing?"
We're going toward Fort selkirk,"
said Tom.

did you meet anyone on this trail
lately?" asked Avery, pushing forward.
The man hesitated a moment. and
then said:
"Well, yes, | did meet two men yes
terday. Friends of yours?"
What were they like?" asked Tom.
"One was tall chap that think I've
seen at the river stations, and the other
was sailor, He said he was, and he
looked it. lie was stout built, with a
nose that looked as if it was broken

"Obed Rider!"

The ordinations broke simultane-
ovsly from Tom and Green, while the
stranger looked at them In surprise,
and added:

course" shouted Green, while Iom
could only gasp:
Tom Scott! That's my name"
The man looked at them a moment
in blank astonishment, and tlen light
evidently seemed to break on his mind
for he turned and looked sharply at
Avery and asked:
"Will you tell me your name9"
Certainly My name is William
Avery"
The other man stepped up to him at
once and extended one of his hands,
pa,.l downward on the middle finger Of
which was heavy gold ring with Gu
rious device in the back.
"lf that is your name, you can tell
me the history of this ring" he said,
looking Avery full in the face.

the reply, while the others looked on in
surprise at the little scene being en-
acted so unexpectedly before them.

SILVER LEADERS CONFER.
Significant Meeting at Chicago which May
Have Influence ON the Future Policy
of the Democratic Party.

Chicago, July 22.-While the mem.
bers of the national democratic com
mittee were enjoying a view of drain
age canal yesterday the silver leaders
were in conference at the Auditorium
annex. Those who participated in the
conference said it had no political sig.
nificance whatever, and that they were
at the annex simply as guests of More
ton Frewen, the noted English bimetal-
list, AT a luncheon. 1t is fact, how
ever, that both prior to and following
the luncheon there were meet
ings where questions seriously
affecting the future relations of the
democratic party and the silver people
were under consideration. II is said
that plan to organize the silver forces
of the country into "A distinct party
formed the principal theme of discus
sion. 1t was not suggested as an inn
mediate necessity. but as a contingency
which future events might make not
only eXpedient, but necessary.

He was too old a hand however. to

said. coolly;

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. If
this Bowers isn't the man saw driven
out Of Joe Ladues station for stealing.

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. \ 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 plotters
standing in front Of their tent, eXult-
ing

which they hud been travelling for some
time. and the rest saw directly in front
of them the SUBMITS of two lofty hills,
the gorge between them being densely
wooded about half way up on either
side
The tops were still crowned with
snow, upon which the setting sun shone
its crimson rays until they seemed
bathed in blood.
For some distance on the left Of the
travellers extended perpendicular cliff
fully a hundred feet high and accessible
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
came TO an open spot. Then he dis
mounted and said
1--WE are here Now for a fire"
Tom was about to 20 for fuel, when
he saw Tarbox reach behind rock and
bring out a handful of dry twigs and
moss, which he soon i-nited. When the
blaze shot up he covered il with damp
moss, and the result was adense column
of smoke which went curling up the
face Of the cliff until it showed distinct
~ against the sky above.
The other men busted themselves with
the usual routine work of camping, but
TarboX stood by the fire in silence for
fully ten minutes. An anxious look be
gan to appear on his face, but suddenly
he gave a little exclamation of relief as
pebble struck him on the shoulder and
rebounded to the ground.
"I'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
a 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 uE wards to an un-
known height
"All right, Dick, he whispered. softly,
and then came a rust ing noise as a
man appeared from the dark cavity
and grasped his hand warmly.

the ordinary illnesses of childhood1
Any woman may insure the health OF her

her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
