Kate for Harmony.


Morning dawned amid raging
snowstorm, but thanks to the logs and
frozen mud with which the little cabin
had been daubed, the patient was
comfortable

Paul acquiesced in her plan by sim
ply nodding his head and closing his
eyes, and she resumed her work.
When he awoke there was marked
change in his manner, and he was re-
gaining his strength. She brought
him, some more broth, and, after he
had taken few spoonfuls, he said
did you say you came from Seat
tle?"
"Yes."
"Who brought me here?"
1T was the boss of the train that's
goin' to the Klondyke. l reckon he'll
be here after awhile an then We can
see him yourself. l don't think ye

"Yes-I ought not. They struck
me on the head"
He shut his eyes and tried to
sleep and she went to the door of the
little cabin. All was clear. She saw
one of the Indians lettering near and
called to him and ordered him to go
to the next camp and ascertain what
had detained the dog sled.

She was easily persuaded to wait
another day before she called on the
sick man. Laura little dreamed that.
the unconscious stranger whom her
companion was nursing was the one
her fond, loving heart longed for.
Thus, in blissful ignorance Of the
peril of her Paul, she waited for the
train to move on. She had not long
to wait. Next morning, long before
it was light, she was awakened by
the noise of Esquimau teamsters and
yelping dogs and cracking whips.
She hurriedly dressed and gazed out
into the starless night. She saw an
cry clouds gather about the mountain
peaks, and the air was full of flakes

She made haste to get ready to take
her place on it. All was hustle and
confusion. Laura looked in vain for
the face of some one she knew. For

Lakeland would have been welcome.
Where is he? Where is Lack

her voice was lost on the raging wind,
and she went soaring away into the
night and beating snow.
Meanwhile Paul lay on his hard pal
let of skins asleep, with his faithful
nurse at his side, her eyes on the face
of the sufferer. He was sleeping
peacefully. The fever had almost
abated, and his brow was less flushed.
The woman held the lamp closer to
his face and muttered:

AN IRISH witch DOCTOR"
Strange Story of Superstition That 10
Vouched For.

Strange Story of Superstition That 10
Vouched For.
At Ballygore police court, County
Galway, Ireland, a few days ago, a
witch doctor" was charged with hav-
ing obtained money by false pretenses.
The accused was a small farmer in
the district and the prosecutor another
farmer named Moore, who had been
ill. The accused met Moore and told
him If he carried out his instructions
he would be as sound as rock. AS
a first installment he demanded about
IL shillings from Moore to get through
the preliminaries and when he came
to the real "cure" he said it would be
necessary to have gold, silver and cop
per coins. The sick man provided a
sovereign, a 2-shilling piece and pen
ny. The witch doctor then stripped
placed him sitting in chair in which
were two red-hot bricks. The patient
underwent terrible agony, but he bore
1t patiently, while the witch doctor
went on his knees and uttered some
unintelligible prayers. After the burn
ing the doctor" put the coins sepa-
rately into the sick mans mouth, re-
fusing to allow him to touch them
with his hand. Then he buried the
coins and told Moore he was cured.
but warned him against looking for
the coins, saying that if any one dug
the place up they would very likely
instead find a couple of "dharkdiels"
insects credited by the ignorant and
superstitious with the powers of evil.
The police subsequently dug up the
ground where the coins we're supposed
to have been buried but more was
found there. The prisoner was held
for trial.
