cause a fainter heart to weaken and
turn back, but Mrs. Novel; was made
of sterner stuff and travelled on un-
daunted toward Dawson City.
On her arrival at Dawson she de-
cided to earn her living as q dress
maker, and began to apply herself to
her old business in the new field. She
had not been long there, however,
when she heard that Joseph Beck, a
wealthy mine owner, was in need OF a
bookkeeper. She secured tho posi-
ton. Entering the Office, she applied
the same energy that had character
lied her as dressmaker.
The eyes of Mr.. Beck were not
closed to all this. Her character and
disposition had won his heart, and he
saw in her now not only the elements
which make a loving wife but those
of splendid partner. So, after a
short courtship he proposed, was &C"
cepted, and the two returned to San
Francisco in the fall of 1898, where
they were married.
After the wedding Mr.. Beck, with
his wife and stepson, Walter S. Now
ell, returned to Dawson, where, by ju-
dicious investments. Beck increased
his fortune until to-day he is one OF
the richest men in the gold fields. He
owned the Old Dominion claim,
which he sold at high price, and
bought up claim No. II on uold Run,
for which he was offered 100000. at
present Mr.. and Mrs. Beck own q
claim neighbor to one which worked
$4,000 in four days, and both ex-
pect a great income from their new
"digging." ~
Mrs. Beck recently visited in San
Francisco, returning to Dawson Feb
ruary Is. She took sleighs at White
Horse and travelled 400 miles in the
severest season of the year back to
her husband and son in the capital Of
the gold fields. ......r
Mrs. Beck's recent trip was for the
purpose Of buying a country place
for herself and husband, who intends
selling out in about two years and
again becoming resident of Califor-
MIA. Mrs. Beck bought large tract
of 1000 acres of land near Red Bluff,
which will be conducted as stock
range, a large number of cattle al
ready having been bought.
On the return of the Becks they
will occupy a palatial residence in
course of construction at Red Bluff.
Mrs. Beck has over $4,000 worth of
gold nuggets made into necklaces
and bracelets as souvenirs from the
Old Dominion calm.

comparatively young woman, whose
ambition it was to appear even more
youthful. than she really was.
When Mrs. Elliott asked Algernon
to dinner one day he felt that he was
really getting along. The appoint
ment was for Wednesday of the sue

the appointed time he happened to
meet Mrs. Elliott on the street.

little Johnny is quite i'll and I'll have
to ask you to postpone dining with

A few weeks later he went to call.
Miss Elliott and her mother were both
in the drawing-room. The younger
woman, to whom it was not easy to
entertain Algernon, was exhibiting for
his diversion some household treas

"And here" she said, handing him a
dog-eared copybook, sis a book which

"Good night"
It was midnight when the boy
closed his eyes in the darkness. His
improyised couch was restful land

fast asleep.
He awoke with sudden start at
the sound Of voices close by. He lay
very still and listened.
"This is a cinch, Bill" said ono
voice, Nobody at home and all the
time we need to work the prize.
Steady with that lantern. old man."
The boy saw the dash of dark LAM
tern on the wall as he slipped from
the couch and crept noiselessly to-
ward the dining-room. There were
burglars sure enough. His heart beat
little quicker, but he did not finch.
The men had the closet door open
and were lighting the interior with
dark lantern. .
"That's ell right" said another
voice. "I'm hunting for the big closet

The boys breath came in little

the confused murmurs of the men in

value of the plumber. He crept lit
tie closer. He reached out to grasp
the door.
A sudden turn of the lantern threw
the strong rays on his white face.

CALLED KATE SHELLEY BRIDGE
Imnense yiaduct in lows to BE
Named After the Young
Heroine.

be the highest double track railroad
bridge in the world, says the New
York Tribune. For 80 years the
Chicago e. Northwestern railway
has found it necessary to wind
around many curves and down steep
grades to cross the Des Moines river
at Moingona. The section of II
miles of track between Boone and
Ogden has been the most dangerous
on the main line of this great trans
continental system. The mainte-
nance of "pushers" and the extra
expense Of hauling heavy loads up
difficult grades, besides numerous
accidents that have occurred from
time to time, have demonstrated the
wisdom of this cutoff between
Boone and Ogden. Besides, there
will be q saving in the distance of
more than three miles and of fully
half time. To obviate these obsta-
cles the Northwestern has con-
structed new double track line and
is building across the Des Moines
river this wonderful viaduct.
Twenty years ago, between Boone
and Moingona, on this same tortu-
GUS line, about to be abandoned, an
engine went through bridge at the
time of o raging flood. From her
widowed mothers cottage near by
a maiden of 16 years saw the en-
gine's headlight disappear in the
raging torrent. Lighting lantern,
she sped away through the storm to
Moingona, told of the disaster and
saved passenger train from follow
ing the Inflated engine to watery
grave. The state of Iowa gave her
a medal for her bravery, her name
has been celebrated in poetry and
prose, and, as lasting monument
to her heroic deed, it has been de-
cided to name this structure the
Kate Shelley bridge.
A type of the structure is that
commonly known as the viaduct.
This type of construction is usually
employed for carrying traffic over q
deep and wide chasm in which the
question of waterway is only of Sec
ondary Importance, and in which
economy and safety are about the
only limits placed upon the design
er. This viaduct consists of q num-
Der of plate or lattice girder spans
supported upon braced towers. TIE
spans forming the top of the towers
are As feet long, while those span
ming the space between two towers
are Is feet long. Not all of this
bridge, however, is of the viaduct
type, for across the channel of the
river is truss span 300 feet in
length. The viaduct proper forms
that part of the structure extending
from the ends of this truss span
across the valley to the adjacent
bluffs.
The length of this structure is
1855 feet, the height from low wa
ter to the base of the rail 1856 feet.
The width of the deck is 30 feet,
ample for the double tracks. More
metal is used in the construction of
this viaduct than Of any similar
structure in the world. The approx
innate weight of the superstructure
is $3.50 tons, and of the superstruc-
ture 400 tons, making total of
nearly 6,100 tons. The cost will ap-
proximate 100000 for the bridge
and 100000 more for the new dou-
BILE track between Boone and o.
den, making total of $1,10O,OO0 ex-
pended upon this work.

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
"a Timely Little sermon ON "EpideF-
mal Ethics, or How Not to
Wash the Face"

There are three dont's involved In
the first lesson in face washing: l.
Don't use sponge. 2: Don't use Z
crash wash-cloth. And the third and
greatest of these is: Don't use very
cold water. The first because it is
almost constantly wet, is full of germs
insidiously poisonous to the skin. The
second irritates and is not permeative
enough to cleanse thoroughly. Keep
your washcloth for the soles of your
feet, if you must use one, for tradl'
TONS sake. Cold water shocks the
skin and roughens it by closing the
pores. :
The face should be washed in tepid
water if one is going Immediately out,
and at other times in water as hot
as one can stand it. Hot water il
stimulating and cleansing. Bathing
the face in it will remove the lines
from a tired woman's face as effec'
tually as half-hour's sleep.
Rub the face with antiseptic gauze
"a fresh piece frequently-and il
blackhead's exist, q fine cameIs hair
complexion-brush used vigorously
with some pure vegetable soap every
night will do great deal toward rout'
ing them. In washing the face always
rub from the chin up, from the eyes
in and from the forehead toward the
temples. The face should be washed
with soap at night only, then rubbed
with pure cold cream or some lano
line preparation. This little attention
given to the face every night is abso
lutely essential to . clean skin and
healthy pores.
Hot milk is an excellent tonic fol
the face and continued application Of
it will render the skin as smooth and
velvety as baby's cheek. In the
morning immense the face in warm
water to which have been added few
| drops of benzoin. Dry the face with
q soft linen towel. Don't rub. Just

with it if you will use intelligence and
