The Boys Begin Work on the Tunnel.

morning. 81 could not conceal his feelings
sufficiently to speak TO or even mcct him.
The tragedy of the night before was too
fresh. and he could only see in the rebel the
embodiment OF all that was hateful in
Wantou cruelty and murder. The look in
tho3r poor boys eyes was too wcl-rCmcm-
bored. and the shrek of the ono who was
shot. Therefore, as soon as he saw lib

away from the tent, and occupied his eyes

THERE seems 10 be strong trend of
sentiment among the comrades throughout
the country in favor of Comrade Benjamin
Harrison for the next Republican nominee
for President. The letters sent in to us are
almost unanimous on that. Comrade
Harrison was one Of the very greatest
Presidents this country ever had. and if he
should really enter the race he would be :.
very formidable candidate.
The National tribune., 1900-03-08

IT is very depressing to that faction in
this country who have been so hostile to
volunteers and strenuously insisting that
none but regular soldiers were any good.
TO see Great Britain relying so much upon
volunteers. The British volunteers have
proved so much better than the regulars
that the Government can not get enough of
them, and is sounding Australia and Cana
da as to whether they can furnish more of
the same kind II they are needed

1900 and 1000 ptisone-5. including III"

nified through the fog, doomed up like !
blank wall the bow of the schooner.
So suddenly were we upon it that the jib
boom was well over us before sighted the
black hull, and with all my might checked
the boats way, grasping the bobstay in
time to save the taut cable, and we came to
a rest. The suck of the rushing waters
against the broad, fat end of the scow
made me fearful that the noise would call
the guards attention forward, and, whis-
pering into the ear of Ames to hold all fast
until l returned, gently rid me of my boots,
took my sword betwixt my teeth, swarmed
up the stay to the bowsprit, and stood again
on the deckof my own schooner.
At last twas done. The exultation felt
would be but natural to any man who sees
the successful ending of difficult under
taking. Fog and darkness were nothing
&c me here; my way aft would have been
clear had l been blind, but hardly had I
gotten abreast the foremost when heard
the burly tones of one man addressing an
other, and the noise of oars as they fell into
rowlocks came plainly to my strained ear.
Stepping softly over the bulwark. lowered
myself to the channel and listened.
AN yet get astray in the fog an come not
back by dawn, I'll have We in the guard
house for bein' off post" said the voice from
the deck.
ssNay," came the answer from a boat;
eye do me a good turn by giving me this
leave; fear me not. I'll ne'er betray you OF
fail to be back in time for you to get ashore.
IT'S summers fog, an will melt by sun
rise! Tell him 1 will fetch the rum"
Fetch it, then, but not in yer skim" was
the return. eff they speak O. me, say We
heard l was going on quest to Kingsbridge,
to be back on the morrow Ye had better
Delay yer lip, for ye are off post, an hold
ye in my hand
cay, ay! Never fear! Good night!' was
the answer, and the boat moved off with
steady strokes of the oar, while the first
speaker evidently entered the cabin, as
heard the companion door open and close.
Then all was again silent.
Here was an unexpected situation made
more mysterious from the fact that there
was something familiar in the voice of the
man who had just gone below. could not
place it, only noticing that both men spoke
with the SAVIOR of sea brine in their words,
and though totally strange to me,
the voice of the other hung in my ear as a
misty dream hangs in the mind after wax
ing, naught but its effect remaining.
Getting to the deck again, moved slow
ly aft, stopping as I noticed slight luminos-
ity at the side of the cabin, but on further
cautious approach found the cause. The
cabin was lighted. To prevent the light
from going beyond the vessel tarpaulin
had been stretched over the cabin house
from rail to rail, thus leaving an open space
betwixt the rails and the headlights, where
by was served the double end of obtaining
air and guarding the outward show of light.
Here was deviltry for sure. Dropping
to my stomach. snaked myself beneath the
tarpaulin, brought my eye to the swung
back port, and nearly betrayed myself by
the start made.

A READER OF CHARACTER.
Stuart, the American Painter, Was q
Good Judge of Human
Nature.

81 don't want people to look at my
pictures and say how beautiful the
tEapery is; the face is what l care
about" said Stuart, the great American
painter. He was once asked what he
considered the most characteristic fea-
ture of the face; ne replied by pressing
the end of his pencil against the tip
of his nose, distorting it oddly.
His faculty at reading physiognomy
sometimes made curious hits. There
was a person in Newport, r. l., cele-
brated for his powers of calculation.
put in other respects almost an idiot.
One day Stuart, being in the British
museum, came upon a bust whose like
ness was apparently unmistakable.
Calling the curator, he said: Il see
you have a head of sCalSula ting Jem-
N.Y.
s. Calculating Jemmy!'" repeated
the curator. in amazement. "That is
the head of Sir Isaac Newton
On another occasion, while dining
with the duke of Northum berland, his
host privily called his attention to
gentleman, and asked the painter if
he knew him. Stuart had never seen
him before.
"Tell me what sort of man he isl
81 may speak frankly?"
"By all means"
'sWell, if the Almighty ever wrote a
legible hand, he is the greatest rascal
that ever disgraced society,""
It appeared that the man was an at
torney who shad been detected in sun
dry dishonorable acts.
Stuart's daughter tells pretty story
of her fathers garnet. where many of
his unfinished pictures were stored:
1.-THE garnet was my playground, and
\ beautiful sketch of Nine. Bonaparte
was the idol that worshiped. At last
I got possession of colors and an old
panel, and fell to work copying the
picture. Suddenly heard a frightful-
roaring sound; the kitchen chimney.
was on fire. Presently my father ap-e
peared, to see if the fire was likely to
do any damage. He saw that looked
very foolish at being caught at such
presumptucus employment, and pre-
tended not to see me. But presently
he could not resist looking over my
shoulder.
s''Why. boy said he-so he used to
address me-tyou must not mix your
colors with turpentine; you must have
some oil!'
1t. is pleasant to add that the little
girl who thus found her inspiration
eventually became a portrait-painter OF
merit.-Youth's Companion.

The Stroke of Good Fortune That En-
riched Scotch Miner
in Alaska.

This is the story of Alexander Nc
Donald, one of the best-known char
acters in the Yukon valley. He is a
great, numbering Scotchman-born in
Nova Scotia-who up to the time of
the Klondike discoveries never had an
idea of winning greater fortune
than that of day IabOrer. He
worked from mining camp to mining
camp all along the northwest. So slow
was he and so awkward in his work
his feet entirely in his way and his
bulk misfit for the size of prospect
holes-that he was reputed never to
be able to hold job for longer than
three weeks. 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 a paying
claim. Finally he stumbled across a
newspaper man named Hunt, who had
a claim on Bonanza creek. Hunt had
become discouraged because he had
not The funds necessary to develop it.
This claim Mcdonald purchased for
$500, and set about developing it in
his slow and aimless fashion. Find
ing the claim fairly rich. he put on
force of 1aborers, and in a few weeks
had taken out $4,000. This sum he
used Immediately to purchase othe.
claims. All that year, he bought right
and left everything of any promise
that was offered to him, often mort
gaging the claims thus bought to buy
still other ground. Many of the ven
lures came to naught, but few gave
such phenomenal returns that he
speedily took the rating of million
aire. Out of one claim on Ell Dorado
creek he shoveled $4,000 in IL hours.
To-day he is probably worth between
Sc, 000. oCO and So 100000.
Many others came to success even
more suddenly than Mcdonald. One
man on Bonanza creek took out 90
pounds of gold-about $25 .000-in a
single day. A pan of gravel on Ell
!Dorado creek yielded its lucky owner
SO, 100. This same man cleaned up
5000 ounces of dust and nuggets from
his first weeks work.-Ainslie's Maya
