stupor in which she had been lying
since her husbands death and realized
what was going on In the house with a
quick gathering of passion and
strength, such as even the dying some
times are known to possess. She had
escaped from her sister and the neigh
Dor who were watching with her and,
crazy with grief. flung herself over the
coffin, moaning and crying out in such
heartbreaking accents that all present
were for a moment flung into state Of
inaction and awe.
But Mrs. Hardy was first to move to-
ward the stricken woman. Where did
the wife Of the once naughty and proud
man learn the touch of sympathy that
drew that other poor sister nearer to
her and finally soothed her into quiet
ness? Certain it is that suffering in
her own home had marvelously taught
the richly dressed woman, the refined,
cultured lady, to hold this other one to
be of the same household of God with
her. So it was that she finally succeed
ed in drawing her away into the other
room and there held her, gasping for

moment it seemed to him more than he
could bear. He started to his feet and
put his hands before his face. Then,
calming himself by a great effort, he
sat down, and his face became almost
like stone in its rIgidity. When his

Harriet's bewildered eyes conferred
in the right spot at last. She gave a
little gasp that was almost sob.

When distance had reduced the men
and women on the pier to toy men and
women she turned away and went into
her own state room. Two bright red
spots were burning her cheeks. AS
she opened her room door she gave
little ecstatic scream.
There, upon her dressing table. was

pink, the exact shade of the one Field

the basket nervously for a card and

mountains, having been washed out of the
disntegrating rocks and finding lodgment
in the sands below as the waters carried
the yellow grains seaward. The gold that
is found close to the sea Is very fine IN
fact, not coarser than bird shot, well
ground up by friction and wave action.
AS the gold is heavier than the sand in
which 1t is embedded, it has worked
down, and most of it is now found under
two or three feet of sand and gravel on
bottom layer of clay. This clay the miners
term bed rock" The system of extract
ing the gold is very simple, being by the
well known process of slu.cing and rock
ing. The water required for this is taken
from the ocean, for everything seems to
favor the prospector along this wonderful
coast of gold.
Back of the beach is the tundra zone.
This is a littoral shelf which, near the
coast is only some 80 feet above the sea
level, though it slopes upward at the base
of the mountains until 1t has at times an
elevation of 200 feet. This is traversed by
the many small rivers and streams that

drain down from the heights behind and
carry out the gold grains. During the
summer months this tundra is wet and
Doggy. Although there is much gold in
it. it is generally believed that capital
will be required to exploit it probably.
A few miners have already gone back to
the mountain gulcanes. prospecting in the
quartz veins that run through the lime
stone. making up these mountains. Here
nuggets have been found worth several
hundred dollars. the gulches proving the
richest spots TO the miner. Two claims on
Anvil Creek have each produced dust
worth almost $25o000, and this after only
the crudest and most superficial mining.
1t was a party of Swedes who first dis
covered gold in the Cape Nome district.
That was in September Of 1898, and 1t was
only in July last year that the precious
grains were found in the sand along the
coast Itself. To-day the population of
Nome City is chiefly American. In one
year from now 1t Is expected that this new
Alaskan town will eclipse both Skaguay
and Dawson City.

trict will have a population Of from 10000
to $1,000 persons. In but a couple of
months last year gold dust to the value of
s200aO00 was taken out of the sands by a
mere handful of miners, so it is expected
that many times that amount of gold dust
to the value of $4,000 900 was taken out of
the sands by a mere handful of miners,
so It is expected that many times that
amount of gold dust will come out at the
end of the next season.
This district is on the northwest coast
of Alaska, about 100 miles northeast of ST.
Michaels, on the Boring Sea. Froam Seat
tie it is almost 200 miles by ocean steam
er. The real mining country extends from
the promontory named Cape Nome to
about 800 miles along the seacoast to the
northwest and about 20 miles Inland to the
north. Most of the gold comes right out
of the sands along the coast. The natural
features Of this new mining district are
divided into the three regions of beach,
tundra and mountains. The beach itself
stretches away Comparatively smooth and
level. The gold came originally from the

The Klondike is now a back number
Dawson City has had Its day, and Skaguay
has glided back into the grandeur that
was Rome and the glory that was Greece.
Alaska has a new Ed Dorado. Miners are
forsaking their old claims and rushing up
to this new and more northern land OF
promise. This new mining district is
known by the name of Cape Nome. To
write the truth about Cape Nome is to
court jeersng skepticsm. That region has
proved itself of late SO rich in gold that
even modest claims as to it's real wealth
seem extravagant.
Yet wonderful tales are being told of
Cape Nome. Handouts of nuggets have
been scraped up out of the sand. and the
tickle fortune hunter of the Klond:ke has
packed up his possessions and started out
for the new gold fields where, it is said,
the miner steps on enough gold dust at
every pace to buy himself a new pair of
boots About 5000 miners are spending the
winter along the beach and in the valleys
near Nome City. 1t is expected that be-

How was she looking?"
Simply superb. She has not reach

over with happiness at going back to

"She can talk of nothing else. 1t
is really pathetic and ludicrous at
once"
''She and Mrs. Monette seem to suit
each other, doc they?"
Admirably"
THAT was an inspiration Of yours,
bringing those two women together. :"
Apparently having exhausted the sub
ject, he resumed his paper and she ate
her breakfast in meditative silence.
Presently from behind his paper Led
yard spoke:
Il see the Fuerst Bismarck goes out
this morning"

l imagine There was some talk of 1t
when / told them good-by."
1t took him an unreasonably long
time to get ready for his Office that
morning. When Miss Mildred thought
he was actually gone, without his US
ual good-by kiss, he came in somewhat
f1urried:
Il say, Milly, hope Mrs. Monnette
won't think l was lacking in courtesy
by not calling"
Il don't suppose she will think any
thing about it. When one is starting
abroad for the first time one seems to
be very full of self, to the exclusion Of
other people. 1t is almost like leaving
the world, you know"
Precisely" said Ledyard, turning
short about and going away without
kissing her.
Miss Mildred smiled-then sighed.
Oh, the contrariness OF the human
heart. Here. just as she had made
perfectly sure in her own mind that
time had entirely effaced Ledyard's
image from Mrs. Monette's fancy he
was consumed with belated desire
to stand well with her.
There is a momert-happily short

when the great gangways have been

fully down at the waving. shouting.

"When will that be?"
Madame spread her hands in her
familiar gesture and nodded myster-
iously: "Who can say? One year
two years-three! Perhaps seven. My
beautiful young Mrs. Monette may be-
stow her lovely hand on a titled
Frenchman. I know some such,
cherie!"
ooh, mol hope not-that is
"That is" said Nine. LIE Due, with
amiable malice, 'you do not want la
belle Americana 'gobbled UPS that
how you call it? by any Of my country
men. You want her to come back here,
60 captivating that no man can with
stand her charms, matters 1t not how
preoccupied his affections. So?"
It was not comfortable sensation
to have her innermost thoughts and
wishes thus cruelty manufactured into
expressed views by this penetrating
little Frenchwoman, but Miss Milly
was not given to lodging issues. She
looked calmly into the vivacious little
face, under it's chic travelling bonnet.
Nothing would make me happier
than to see my brother the husband
of Mrs. Monette There seems a suit
ability in it which, unfortunately, i'm
presses me more forcibly than it does
either of them. He could give her po-
sition and she could give him the
wealth which would forward his justi-
fable political ambitions. He is a
gentleman, and she's beautiful wom-
an of a sweet, confiding nature. Why
should I not desire it?'
Her peroration was somewhat def
antly voiced. Nine. LIE Due playfully
tapped the cheek nearest her with her
fan.
"Why not, truly? It is all nonsense
and insincerity to pretend Indifference
in these matters. You are honest.
Whoever wins my yonug Mrs. Mon
nette will possess gem worth wear
ing proudly. She is coming to love art
and literature for its own sake. Her
brain is aspiring. She will no longer

you she will be grand dame"
"If you come back. Moreover, I may
be dead. Who knows?"
mo, no. no. Talk not that way. You
must not die. You must live to see
the finished product of my labors."
Mildred smiled indulgently. Nine. LIE

Gas Pine Lines to Distribute Power.

Gas Pipe Lines to Dt~tribute Power.
The attention of electrical engineers
has been attracted TO the prospective
use of the gas engine on vast scale
for the generation and transmission of
power Mr. George Westinghouse be-
lieves that a great saving of expense as
compared with present methods would
result from the distribution Of power
by means of gas generated at central
points and conveyed in pipes along the
lines of railways for the operation of
gas engines and electric generators. He
suggests the installation of such sys-
TEN in connection with the electrical
equipment of railways, especially
metropolitan and suburban lines; and
also the use of fuel gas and gas engines
to supply light and power for the
whole of Manhattan island.-Youth's
