HE SAVED TO LIVES

Deeds of heroism have been enacted
in Alaska which history will never
chronicle. The mantle of death for
ever covers scenes which will be buried
in oblivion until the time when all
secrets are revealed, and Justice
stern, implacable justice-is meted
out to all.
Upon the desolate waste Of that in
hospitable glacier, the Valdes, which
has proved a sepulchre to. so many
bright hopes and earnest aspirations,
last winter party of prospectors were
camped. Day after day had the men
worked their way, death disputing
every foot with them, until it was de-
cided that the main party remain in
camp. And two of their number ac-
companied only by dog. started ont
to find trail which would lead away
from a veritable death trap of the
..rrible Valdes Glacier. For days
| did these two wander, until nature
succumbed and they lay down weary
and exhausted, to sleep the sleep from
which there is no awakening.
Their faithful companion chung to

was grateful, as they crouched low
with the bitter ice-laden wind howl

Their scanty stock OF provisions
was we'll nigh exhausted, when one OF
them suggested sending the dog back
to the camp. This was forlorn hope
but it was the only chance they had.
Quickly writing few words on leai
torn from book, they made it fast
around his neck, and encouraged him
to start back on the trail.
The sagacious animal did not ap
pear to understand, but after repeated
efforts they persuaded him to go, and
he was soon swallowed mp in the snow

Two days and nights passed, during
which these men suffered untolt

Inc report VI eno o"P'
British Ninth Lancers by the Beers,
though false, brings up once more the
in military circles as to the
value of the lance. In the French
army the adversaries of the weapon
are in an immense majority. They
ridicule the thing, and insist that 1t
should appear only in museums,
among the relics of the middle ages.
For ten years, nevertheless, the little
group that favors the lance has held
out. Probably the pretty effect OF a
regiment of lancers on parade mas
something to do with the stubborn re-
sistance. But the moral effect OF the
thing in actual warfare, as compared
with that of blazing carabines In the
hands of charging horsemen, who noid
their sabres in reserve, counts 1or
little in the opinion of French officers:
In the German army it was abolished
some time ago; but it was recently re-
stored. Austria has thrown 1t out
completely, and in Russia it ia pre-
served only in a few Cossack regi-
ments. On the other hand, In the
