cheap kind. Severa concerns in this
country, have one into the making of
dolls, but their progress has been slow
and very little Roadway is promised.
One concern in New York has a fair
output in dolls with indestructible CON-
position heads II cloth bodies. The
people employed there are generally
farmers.
Machinery has enabled the American
in other lines to drive out the European
manufacturer entirely. This is notably
true in tin and iron toys. In these
branches development on this side has
been so great hat a considerable eX-
port trade has been built up. Fire en-
gines, hook n ladder trucks, trains of
cars, patrol wagons, ambulances and
scores of similar things are turned out
by the ton. They are highly finished
and almost indestructible. The iron
toys made by foreigners are fimsy,
crude affairs, and when brought into
competition with our own productions
stand no show. A high tariff has kept
the American out Of the toy market in
Germany and France, but in Russia,
England, Italy and other& European
countries there is hardly a store today
that does not carry at least a small
line of the ingenious productions, near
ly all of which come from Connecticut
and Rhode Island. Il

marbles drove him mad--a football

CHAPTER XII.
JUST @ LATE.

When Joe Tarbox left the mate and
his companion n started on his way
to Dyea the latter watched him until
he disappeared behind the first hill.
Then he turned to Rider and rubbed
his hands together gleefully.

'We are all right now! Let's make
tracks. I'm itchin' ter git my hands on
some of the yaller boys. Did yer notice
he started ter say somethin' bout a
nugget? I wouldn't give a cent for his
chances of SEEM 'em agin."
Their horses were soon ready, and
once more the two adventures took up
their route. Several times they missed
the trail. but after four days travel
they came to the white cliff mentioned
in the letter.
Make sure what 1t says said the
miner, and Rider produced the precious
document at once. Il
ut says keep to the left" he an

"All right. Here goes, but I don't see

here, but I'll find 1t II there's gold at
the end of our trip waitin' fer us. See
If I don't. I'm as good as one o. them
diyinin' rods n time"
He seemed to be right, for he picked
his way along with marvellous accuracy
until at length they reached an open
spot. Here he paused and said:
TITS guesswork, now, but we'd bet
ter keep as nigh the same direction az
we kin. We arn't far from the end
now"
But for once he was wrong. Had he
diverged more to the left he would have

TALE OF FALSE BEARD.
One Really Used in Trapping a Fickle
Wife In Paris,

London Telegraph: A few days ago q
person Of venerable aspect alfghted at q
hotel In the neighborhood Of the Saint
LaZare railway station In Paris. He In
troduced himself to the landlord as a
wealthy merchant from Bordeaux, and
was welcomed with all the Difference due
to 50 respectable a personage-the more
SO as he conflded q sum Of money to the
care of his host. The old man, whose
long white beard was the admiration Of
all beholders, vas treated with every at
tention by the servants Of the house. and.
having passed on the staircase a. pretty
lady who seemed to have taken his fancy.
he experienced little difficulty In finding
out some interesting particulars about
her. The smart looking person., as one OF
the walters explained, was on very friend
1y terms with a married man, to whom
she paid a visit every afternoon.
Tho subject was then dropped, nor,
moreover, were there. any further meet
ings on the staircase, but on the follow
ing afternoon, when the fair charmer had
hung the key of her room UP in the bu-
reau and had sailed forth on her career
of conquest, the elderly gentleman with
the white beard stole softly in when no
body was about, and putting the key in
his pocket, made his way to the chamber
which had Just been vacated. Shutting
the door without exciting any notice, he
went to the big trunk which was lying
on the floor, and, breaking open the lock,
rummaged in 1t until he had Gun bank
notes to the amount of 5000 francs slowed
away in q corner. He had just packed
the notes carefully in his pocketbook
when one OF the servants, hearing a faint
noise in the room which he had believed
to DO empty, ak in. and. catching
sight OF the old man who was currently
supposed to be a pattern OF all the vir-
tues, seized him by the collar with the
reproachful cry, "Why, you are a thief"
The bewilderment of the worthy gar
con when tho long white beard came OF
In his hand may well be imagined, and as
he stood gaping in speechiess amazement
tho erewhile venerable elder with whom
he had been dealing so roughly uttered
a mild protest. 81 am not a thief" he ex-
claimed. II am the husband OF the
naughty woman who had taken this
room, and, as her abode Is legally mine as
well. I am quite within my right in act
ing as I have done"
AT that moment the lady, who had
missed her rendezvous with her friend.
made in her turn her entry into the
chamber.
Heavens! my husbandt' she cried In
horror. t
Eyes, 1t Is T." replied the man as he
dealt her q couple OF ringing boxes on the
car. Then he went down stairs, paidSE
bill, and started OFF blythe next train for
his native village In Normandy. He had
got what he wanted-the 5000 francs,
which his wife had taken on with her
when she eloped. The rest of the bust
ness will be as4!efrectiyely settled by Q
divorce suit.

MILLIONS SPENT FOR
CHRISTMAS TOYS
Santa CIaus's Offerings to the Little
Ones Represent an Enor-
nous Expenditure.

Expensive Dolls Are the Chief Item OF
Import-How tho Business Is Con
r. ~ducted-TotaI Toy Sale Esti-
mated at S.O,OOO,OOO.

New York, Dec 19.-The American
people will spend over SIS, 900, 900 Tor
Christmas toys this ear The total
sale Of toys for the year has been esti-
mated at $4,000, 600. OF this sum about
rs per cent is spent between December
1 and %. Absolute figures have never
been compiled, but a careful canvass
anon gemanufacturers, jobbers II I'M
porters approximates the sum given.
I Fullythree-fourthso of the money spent
for toys passes through the big depart
ment stores, which, Of late years, have
practically absorbed the retail trade.
One firm that has houses in two cities
sells in its toy department over 100000
worthsa year, Theses sales are made up
principally of small sums and repre-
sent the handling of millions of pieces.
Yearly sales ranging from 500, 900 to
$3.50, COO are effected by scores of the
big retail concerns throughout the
United States. In large5 cities few Inn
portant toy stores pure and simple still
4suryixe.ss3In Chicago there is none at
all. There are any number Of small
places that sell toys, notions and sta
tionery, but they make up a very small
proportion of the total sales.
Where the Toys Are Made.
Until recently nearly all the. toys that
were IN sold in America were made
abroad. The output in, the United
States was inconsiderable. In the last
tenaor3twelve years all this has been
changed, so that today less than one-
third Of Santa Claus offerings to the
little folks come from Europe. The 9TH
~er two-thirds are made in the New
England states, Pennsylvania n Ohio,
and In small9factories here Ind there In
lis the great producing center. The
distributing is done chiefly from
New York city. where a wholesale toy
district has grownYup which is almost
as distinct as the dry goods district OF
the shoe district.
IL was formerly the case that imme-
4diately after Christmas factories and
1obbers We're shut down for several
months. but now the toy trade has
grown to such enormous proportions
that workefor the following year is be-
gun as soon as the holiday rush is

featured before July. The drummers
