Ainslee's Magazine
This is the story Of Alexander McDon-

that he was reputed never to be able to

He was at Dawson shortly after the first
locations were made on the Klondike. He
went out with numerous stampedes, but
never arrived in time to locate O. paying
claim. Finally he stumbled across a news
paper man named Hunt, who had a claim
on Bonanza creek. Hunt had become dis

problem: How do birds find their way2
The old answer was short and easy: In

anything. that a bird is born with an in

HOW the Race was Won.

The finish of an Olympian foot race is
described by Samuel Scoville Jr., in o
story called "A Boy Of Galatia," In the
April st. Nicholas:
Though Phaedo has flashed past the
laboring leaders, right at his heel comes
the rapid football of the Callahan boy.
Clearer and clearer 1t sounds, run as he
will Every faculty and fiber in Ladas'
mind and body IS concentrated on keeping
unbroken the long. swift stride that
Phraanes has taught him, which eats UP
the ground like fire. With elbows held
well in and swinging arms that lengthen
every stride, he wastes no breath shout
ing inVocations.
A single slip or falter will be fatal now,
with the goal distant but a few short
lengths, and as his limbs weaken under
the terrible strain, the strength Of his
will sustains his tagging muscles, and
still the flying feet spurn the loose sand
with never a break in their motion. Deep
down within himself Ladas feels yet re-
malning an iota Of reserve power. The
temptation is almost irresistible to make
his effort now now TO end the suspense
and decide the race; but to his mind come
the words of crafty old Phraanes: with
a stout heart and cool head the race can
! be won in the very last stride" and the
| supreme moment is delayed. Just ahead
| a flying figure dances before his dlmming

and whether aught Of his strength also

roars forth across the stadium as they

ish. "Athene! Athene!" they shout. Pal

cheers Of the little group Of Galatians are

needs no applause to nerve him on. Now
