CHAPTER x.

S1~AE E4lk As
 Not until the tenth day out from Honolulu was Mir. Stuyvesant so far recovered as to warrant the surgeons in permitting his being lifted from the hot and narrow bed to steamer chair on the starboard side. Even then 1t was with the caution to everybody that he must not be dis turbed. The heat below and in many of the staterooms was overpowering, and officers and soldiers in numbers slept upon the deck, and not few of the Red Cross nurses spent night after night in the bamboo and wicker reclining chairs under the canvas awnings.
 Except for the tropic temperature, the weather had been fine and the voyage smooth and uneyentful. The Sacramento rolled easily, lazily along. The men had morning shower baths and, few at time, salt water plunges in big canvas tanks set fore and aft on the main deck. On the port or southern side of the promen- ade deck the officers sported their pajamas both day and night, and were expected to appear in khaki or serge, and consequent discomfort, only at table, on drill or duty, and when visiting the starboard side, which, abaft the captains room, was by conmsn consent given up to the women. ,t
 They were all on hand the morning that the invalid officer was carefully aided from his .stateroom to broad reclining-chair, which was then borne to a shaded nook beneath the stair way leading to the bridge and there securely 1ashed. The doctor and Mir. Ray remained some minutes with him, and the steward came with a cooling drink. Mrs. Wells, doctor by courtesy and diploma, arose and asked the surgeon if there were rea1- 1y nothing the ladies could do--s'Nfr. Stuyvesant looks so very pale and weak"-and the sisterhood strained their ears for the reply, which, as the surgeon regarded the lady's re- mark as refecting upon the results of his treatment, might we'll be ex- pected to be somewhat tart.
 Nothing to-day, Mrs.-er-Dr. Wells" said the army man, half vexed, also, at being detained on way to hospital. 1.-The rever has gone and he will soon recuperate now, pro- vided he can rest and sleep. It is much cooler on deck and-if it's only quiet"
 'sOh, he shan't be bothered, if that's what you mean." interposed Dr. Wells. with proper spirit. ssI'm sure nobody desires to intrude in the least. asked fQr. rx associates from a

It would be high noon before many minutes. Already the ship officers were on the bridge ready to "take the sum-" and msss-call fer the men was sounding on the lower decks. Hs would give a fortune, thought he, to feel once more that cool, soft. slen. der little hand on his forehead. There were other hands, some that were certainly winter than Miss Rays. and probab1y quite as soft and cool, hands that before the report of his slur upon the Red Cross would gladly have ministered to him, but he shrank from thought of any touch but ones He would have given an other fortune, if he had it, could Marion Ray but come and sit by him and talk in her cordial, pleasant tones. There were better takers, wittier, brighter women within hail. ing much of the time, which Miss Ray did not-yet he shrank from the pos sibihty of one of their number ac- costing him.
 Twice he was conscious that Dr. Wells and Miss Porter had tiptoed close and were peering interestedly at him, but he shut his eyes and would not see or hear. He did no, i"want to be bothered" it was only
 too evident, and as the ships bell ichimed the hour of noon and the Lwateh changed, his would-be visitors
 slipped silently away and he was

 not five minutes. after the doctor
 peeped at him, the voice of the cap
 tain was heard booming from the
 bridge, just over the patients pill

 A dozen times on the voyage that
 mariner had singled out Miss Ray for some piece of attention. Now, de.

 homage. She was at the moment leaning over the rail, with Sandy by her side, gazing at the dark blue. beautiful waters that, flashing and foam-crested, went sweeping beneath her. The monarch of the ship, stand ing at the outer end of the bridge, had caught sight of her and gave tongue at once. A good seaman was the captain and stalwart man, bu, he knew nothing of tact or discre ton. 'sOh. Miss Raw ke bawlAd "enrns

NOTES FROM GERMANY.

The present duty on paper imported into Germany is 100 marks (s23.s .so) per ton.
 The German perfumery industry is growing steadily and gains customers who formerly dealt exclusively in French and English perfumery.
 German soldiers are allowed to send packages by mail at the low rate of 20 pfennigs Give cents) up to three kilo- grams CSC pounds), regardless of dis tance.
 As the manufacture of typewriters in Germany has met with some sue cess and as they are coming more and more into use, some German authori- ties think it is probable that, in spite of the increasing demand, the import will not increase very materially.

 About ten of Mrs Sutton's former pupils at the Center school enjoyed a days sight seeing in New York, yes terday. Mrs Sutton was formerly teacher of the fifth room of the Center school. The trip was personally con- ducted by herself. When the children returned home on the 9:2S train they were much exhausted, but satisfied with the days sight seeing. Selectmen E. P. McGowan, Henry T. Dayton and Burton H. Mattoon went to Hartford yesterday to wit ness the hearing on the bridge ques- tion. Owing to so much other busi- ness being on hand. the hearing on this question was postponeI until a fur ther date. This is of considerable in- terest to our townsmen, as the cost of the bridge will in all probability be in the neighborhood of $10,O00. The hear ing will probably be held in the early part of May.

JUDGE WlCxERSnAM'S ADVENT.

i.9 As predicted in the ast>issne of the NrGcET Judge James Wickersl,am, of the Third judicial dvi sion has been directed by the Department of Justice to hold court in Nome. This probably means that .Iudpe Wickersham will remain here during the win fer or until Judge Moves successor has been appoint 'ed. We are glad, indeed, that the Department of Justice on the recommendation of President Me- Kinley has so promptly decided to afford us judicial relief This was urged by Mayor Giese during his visit to the president at Canton It has been urged by other gentlemen who realized the deporable con dtion of litigation in this divsion the congested condition of the calendar and the need of a court during the long winter, when cases can be more expe rlitously tried
 We congratulate the people of this section upon the turn taken in judicial affairs. Attorneys and others who have returned from Cnaaska, where Judge Wckersham has been holding term of court, speak in the highest terms of his promptness in the trial of causes and his evident judicial ability. lie rendered one opinion there in the trial of a mining case Even to the ayman it is clear, comprehensive but not prolix, and goes directly to the root of the matter. The people of the Third judicial division also bear testimony to Judge Wickershams worth as a federal judge while many of his former fellow townsrnen, while he was resident of Tacoma, who are now in Nome will attest to his worth, both as jurist and citizen.
 Judge Wickersham will find complicated cond- tion of affairs in Nome, but predict that he will
 in shor. time unrave the many tangles and restore the confidence in the judiciary that has been lost by the people of this section of Alaska.

EXODUS OF THE COLD-fOOTED.

Over six thousand people to Nome this spring, according to the records kept at the local } customs house. Nearly that number have already wended their way southward, and more will follow between now and the time when the great "white silence" will commence to brood this far north land. Many of those who have left Nome belong to what is known as the cold contingent They did not find the conditions existing here exactly to their taste and they left dsgusted and disappointed It is now about time that the echoes Of those wangs as chronicled by the outside press, should reach Nome. We do not know that the howls and an athemas of the disappointed will have any material effect upon this section They will not take from this country an ounce of gold alter the fact that immense deposits of golden gravel invite the hands of capital and labor to extract it from the bosom oi the earth The lessons taught by the experiences of the pa.t two years obvious. The greater portion of the men who came here not miners, but rather adrenturesomc spirits who hoped by some lucky turn of Fortunes wheel to reap wealth with little exer- tion and minimum of discomfort We have con- estently and consistently pointed out that this IS no country for the weak ainthearted and 1t does not invite any but those who strong of heart and who have good physical health. It is essentially true that it is not "poor mans country" climatic and other conditions forbid it, but still believe that Cnc rlSnt klnQ O1 poor man netu nave out tle lear of ultimate success. The time is probably near at hand when large companies, backed by ample capital will control and operate large proportion of the gold bearing areas of this section. This will mean a largely increased demand for labor of various kinds while the individual miner, with paying claim, will continue to work his own ground. And the oppor- tunites for the real, bona de, individual miner are not by any means all gone.
 Sam C. Dunhams latest poem, entitled "A Wise swede," will be found in this issue of the NUGGET. We know that it will be appreciated, as, like all of MT.

It is gratifying to know that Mr. Dunham's book of poems, called "The Goldsmith of Nome" is finding ready sale, especially in the Yukon country, where nearly thousand copies have been sold. No who lives in Alaska should be without a copy of this delightful volume. Alaska has no truer friend than Mir. Durham, who in prose as well as verse has done much to set forth the actual existing conditions in Alaska. His contributions to the Bulletins issued by the Department of Labor the past four years attest this fact. In response many requests the NUGGET will on Friday next republish Mir.

Elnterurban car in question were either
buried deep in their newspapers or busy
holding converse with their travelling
companions, but not so with the real
live Sherlock Holmes in the third seat
from the rear.

10 per cent hypo solution into his system
Sherlock Holmes was on the alert and

Sherlock Holmes knew better; for simple

Sherlock Holmes knew that this girl
was to board this particular car for from
his seat he could see her tagging the

skirt beneath the ulster for he had
caught a glimpse of it as the girl walked
and he was not color blind.
