Have vou the napers now ?"

Have you the papers now
"No," replied Tom, "but know them
by heart. 1 was waylaid and robbed
in San Francisco. See, here is the scar"
As he spoke he bent his head, and
therwent on: -
"We have reason to believe the mate
of the vessel, man named Rider, heard
what your brother said to me when he
was dying and that he was the rascal
who nearly killed me and took the
papers. He disappeared, and we think
he came here and started up the trail
to pass himself off as the rightfuI own
er of the will. He has had long start,
and may be there before this
Avery was silent for moment, and
then he said, frankly:
81 don't want to doubt your word,
Scott, but I must take every precau-
ton. Before 1 admit anything, tell me
what the letter to John said, and what
it was signed"
Tom promptly complied, and appar-
emily convinced the other, for he ex-
tended his hand, exclaiming:
''It's all right, and you shall have
Johns share if I can help you. Shall we
GO on together? I have been waiting
here week in hopes to run across Tar
box. He was coming down after sup
plies this month"
81 think we'd better start at once
said Tom. "We may meet him, and be-
sides 1 feel sure the mate is there some.

would you know this man Tarbox il

"No," was the reply. Hes a new

so, yes. We were all out together in
the California mines in the sos. Poor
John was one of us. Dick Taylor loved
him as though he'd been his brother
too. It'll be sad news for him to hear
your story"
It was late that night when Tom and
Green returned to their tent. 1t had
been decided to make sure that the
man had not arrived from the mine
and, should they be unable to hear OF
him, they were to start on the day fol.
lowing.
The sailor threw himself down on his
bed of boughs and was asleep almost in
stantly, but Tom Scott could see pail
of blue eyes when his own were tightly
shut. His dreams that night were q
sad tumble of gold mines and fair dam
sells in distress, and he awoke but little
refreshed.
The day was spent in quiet but
fruitless inquiries for the man they
The Winslow mail., 1900-08-30

sought, and the following morning a
little caravan filed away from the har-
Dor toward the wild northern country.
Tom led the way on his horse, the pack
horses came next, Avery and his daugh-
ter followed and Green brought up the
| rear.
The Dalton trail is over an undulat-
| ing country all the way to Fort Sellzirk,
| and can easily be travelled on horseback
the entire distance of some 375 miles,
which relieved our travellers of the hard
ships attendant upon the other trails,
and it was with light heart that Tom
looked back over the weH-ftted string
of animals and exclaimed:
IF we can only meet the man from
the mine we shall be in luck! We have
provisions enough for all hands!"
He would not have felt so happy could
he have known that at that moment
the man he mentioned was seated by a
campfire with Rider and his companion
reading John Avery's will and the letter
written by Dick Taylor.
Leaving Tom and his party fairly on
their way, we must return to Obed
Rider and his new friend, who were
pushing forward as fast as possible.
Their undue haste the first day had
proved disastrous, for one of their pack
horses had gone lame, and they were
obliged to abandon it or go into camp.
They chose the former, dividing it's bur-
den among the others as best they
could.
The second night found them many
miles on their journey, but as night
came on the weary beasts could hardly
be forced ahead, and Hank Bowers
cursed the delay roundly.
1--WE might as well stop here he
growled at last, after helping one of the
horses to regain its feet after stun
bling. Get them packs off, will yer
while 1 sec about the fire. I'm as hun
cry as shark"
The tent was soon set up, and after
supper was disposed of and pipes light
ed he said:
"See here, Rider, let's have a sort o
understanding bout this job. 'Spose we
meet this man TarboX, then what? ?
We've got ter have our yarns so they'll
agree. [ guess now is a good time te1
| fix it up. You don't want ter forget
that yer name is Scott. I'll call you
Tom all right enuff. You see the young
chap jump overheard and save the old
feller, an you can tell that yarn all
right. Any darned fool can see you are
a salt water chap, an he'll swallow that
part of IT.
Rider nodded, and the other went on
I've been thinkin' this out an I've
come ter the conclusion that we must
pump him about how ter get ter the
place where the gold is an let him &C
on ter Dyea after his grub. He won't
hev enough stuff with him to make il
wuth our while to stop him. See?'
After a pause he continued:
We'll keep on and find this Other
feller what sent the letter. They've'got
u big pile all dug by this time, and we
must hev it. He'll drop out O sight
Riders face showed that he did not
understand the others meaning, and
the miner repeated:
He'll git off the earth! Understand
Then when we hev the place all ter our
selves, Mr.. Tarbox will come back with
! lot of grub. Welt tell him his pard go

CHAPTER VIII.
ON THE DALTON TRAIL.

The two young men followed him in
silence. When they reached the tent
Tom repeated the story of his acquaint-
ance with the old miner, touching as
lightly as possible on the two coca
sions in which he had risked his own
life, but a pair of blue eyes We're fixed
upon him ali the while, and the girls
face showed that she fully appreciated
hnd admired his daring.

has been given to the draft of the Ameri-
can reply. 1t is likely to be in the form
of a note of approval rather than any
formal adherence to the alliance, but
this is said to be merely matter of
detail.
About the only serious question which
has arisen to the American reply was on
clause three of the Anglo-German agree
ment. This states that in case of another
power making use of the complications in
China IN order to obtain territorial adj
vantages, Germany and Great Britain re-
serve the right to reach preliminary
understanding on the eventual step to be
taken for the protection of their in
terests. This is open to the construction
of being a threat against other powers,
and there was no desire on the part of
officials here to give American adherence
to anything in the nature OF threat. 1t
is probable that the American reply Will
not go beyond accepting the principle that
Germany and Great Britain have right
to agree between themselves as to their
eventual course. But there is not likely
to be anything which will commit this
Government to accept this eventual agree
ment In short, the third clause is inter
preted to apply only to Germany and
Great Britain. there being no invitation
extended to other powers to join them in
a preliminary understanding regarding
the eventful step to be taken.

A RIOT AT WILKEsBARRE.
Union Miners Attack Independents. No Cne
Seriously Hurt.
(By the Associated Press. }

81
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 22-This evening
there was a riot at the Stanton washery
of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany. When the workmen started to go to
their homes under the protection of coal
and iron police fully 5000 had gathered.
A telephone message was sent to police
Headquarters in this city for help and
Chief of Police Kline and number of Of
ficers responded. The men who had been
at work were put on board a small mine
locomotive, but before the locomotive
could get under Roadway someone fired.
The police returned the fire but no one
was struck Another volley from the
windows of some houses followed. Every
rane was broken, but no one injured. Two
of the workmen on the locomtive jumped
off and were knocked down and kicked
but were rescued by the police.
AS the officers were returning to head
quarters the electric car on which they
rode was stoned, all the windows on one
side of the car were broken and Police
Sergeant Hall and two other passengers
slightly injured. Major Nichols soon
reached the scene and warned the mob
that they were doing the cause of labor
more injury than good. He said the law
would be upheld and he was there to
help uphold it, The mayors speech had
a good effect and the mob slowly dis
persed. g. 4

ing nature, and form panoramic view
of the exposition as it will appear when
ready for visitors December 1st, 1901
The plans include about fifteen impor-
tant buildings. the largest to be the Coz
ton palace, which will have an area of
10000 square feet, other buildings will
be liberal arts, electrical palace, me-
chanical hall. agricultural hall, fine arts,
administration, etc. For the Government
building it is proposed to have a replica
of the White House. An artificial lake
and a sunken garden are among the
strictly ornamental features. The archi-
tectural theme will be Spanish combined
with the colonial. All buildings will be
covered with staff, and grey and white
with occasional lapses into orange and
red are the colors chosen for the exposi-
ton city.
From the designs and drawings it is
evident that the grounds and buildings
will be the most beautiful ever planned
for any Southern exposition.
Active work on the grounds will closely
follow the acceptance of the plans.
