astounding conspiracies ever con-

belling against unjust govern

legitimate restraint of the con-
stituted authorities.
The purpose of the plotters is
nothing less than revolt against
the Dominion Government and
Great Britain and the establish
ment of a Yukon Republic, +"
with its capital at Dawson. To
this end careful preparations have
been made, arms and ammunition

and kind as she sfn1Ted upon her circle of visitors, but, alas, they were four in number and all officers of rank in the regular service, and Stuyvesant's shyness again over came him.
 Moreover, his brief glance into the brightly lighted apartment, all dec- orated as it was with flags and flow CTS, revealed Miss Ray seated near the window with two young cavalry men in devoted attendance-all three apparently so absorbed in their chat that he, lonely and wistful, escaped observation entirely until, just as he passed from view, her lovely dark eyes were for an instant quickly raised, and though he knew it not, she saw him, and saw too that he was wandering aimlessly about, but, quick as woman's intuition, her eyes returned to the face of the eager young trooper by her side, for tStuyvesant turned for one more long, ing glance before descending, defeat ed, to the office floor.
 It was his last opportunity and fate seemed utterly against him, for when on the following evening his general went to call upon Mrs. Ray and took his handsome and hopeful aide, "The ladies are out,'' said the bell-boy. They were dining at the adjutant generals.
 In desperation, Stuyvesant went over to a florists on Post street, bought box of roses, and sent them with his card to Miss Ray, express ing deep regret that he had been de- nied the opportunity to thank her in person for her kindness to him the night of the fire. He wanted to say that he owed his eyes to her, but felt that she knew better and would. be more offended than pleased.
 He was to sail on the morrow, and he had not even seen her brother again.

CHAPTER wi.

When Vinton's hotilla drew out into that wonderful bay, and the crowded transports rode at anchor on the tide, there came swarming about them all manner of harbor craft, some laden with comforts for the departing soldiery, some with curiosity seekers, some with contra band of war in the shape of fruits and fluids, but all were warned to keep cables length at least away.
 The commanding general. with other officers of rank, was darting from ship to ship in swift steam launch, holding brief conference with the colonel in command of each, and finally repairing to his own-the flag ship-where the final adieux were ex- changed.
 The general and his aides nimbly mounted the steep stairway to the bridge, the launch swung loose, and then, up to the masthead flew a lit- tie bunch of bunting that broke as it reached the truck, and there fut- tered in the strong salt wind whis- ting in from sea the eagerly awaited signal to up anchor and follow
 And then at the stern of the Van guard the waves were churned into foam as the massive screw began it's spin, and slowly, steadily the flag ship forged ahead to the accompani- ment of a deafening din of steam whistles and sirens all over the bay. Promptly the other transports fol- lowed the movements of the leader, and presently, in trailing column, five big black steamships, thronged with cheering soldiery, were slowly blow ing their way towards the grand en- trance of that spacious harbor, the matchless Golden Gate=.

 .'What else could he expect?" asked Ray. bluntly. He's a deserter."
 "A deserterl' exclaimed Stuyve- sant, in surprise. ''Who says so?"
 "Capt Kress, officer of the day, or at least cit who ceme with him to identify him. They say he skipped from the Seventh cavalry"
 At this piece of information MT. Stuyvesant whirled about again in added astonishment. Why" said he, .'this upsets-one. theory complete Iy. I declare, if that's true we're all at sea. I beg pardon" he continued, but now with marked hesitancy- you know--you've heard, I suppose, about-Foster?"
 .'What Foster?"
 .Why, the recruit, you know, the one we lost at Port Costa" and the blue eyes were curiously and intently studying the face of the younger sol dier, dimly visible now that the guard house lamps were beginning to glow.
 ..I knew there was recruit miss ing. and-seems to me that was the name," answered Ray.
 "And--didn't you know who he was that it was-pardon me, the man who--liyed near you-had a ranch"

 Stuyvesant hesitated. That letter of old Col. Martindale's was shown him in confidence. But Rays next impet- uous outburst settled it. ooh, by Jovei see tits" And here the white teeth gleamed in the lamplight, for MT. Ray was laughing heartily.
 "Yes? It's gwhat?" smiled Stuyve- sant, sympathetically.
 "It's my sister, reckon" laughed Ky. "She once said she wouldn': marry outside of the army, and he heard it.''
 "Oh-did she?' said Stuyvesant, re- 1ectiyely, and then he was silent.
