have their springs in physical cOndl-
lions of the human body. OFTEN In
character these physical defects doml-
nate the personality, so that the soul
is crowded low into The sub CONSCIOUS
ness. SavageS and criminals and
vicious men, rich and poor are thus.
But when man really lives and lets
his soul expand, bl0tting out wicked
ness, which is form OF physical evil
or illness, that mans soul grows big
and when the body dies the greater
part of the personality lives. just
what part, doctors cannot prove, Tor
the lines cross between the personal
traits and the physical traits, as is
seen when good men go mad, but
death only gives the body back to the
material forces. 1t releases the soul
to the great unknown spiritual force,
that directs affairs In this world
in a large way, that shows in the
trend and direction Of history and the
evolution Of species, and the everlast-
ing triumph Of right over wrong, and
in the vast physical laws that hold
the stars in their courses. To this
force every human soul FgOes-as 1t
came, but all reason and Instinct
which is underlined reason-revolts
against the theory that the soul Of
man melts into the infinite, as a snow
flake Is absorbed into the current OF a
stIeam. The new born babe was
something, somewhere before It's
birth; the dead man must be some
thing somewhere after death. 10
grave where is thy victory, 0 death
where is thy sting. "-Wm. Allen

Gold Output in the Yukon.

The annual report of the department
OF the interior of the dominion of Cana
da for 1903 gives the following concern
ing the production of gold in the Yukon
territory: the gold production for the
year ended June 30 1903, amounted TO
$12. 13, 015.34, as compared with So, 56O,-
34O52 in the previous year. The value
Of gold produced there last year was
greater than III any other year, the next
production amounted to $500, 464. "a.
The large output of last year is attributed
to an unusually rainy season, owing TO
the fact that n large amount OF the nav
dirt is removed by hydraulic methods. 1t
is stated that there are about $500 acres
Of land in the Yukon territory under cul-
tivatiOn, on which all kinds OF vegetables
are grown. Oats have also rpened and

TEMPTED
CHAPTER vI.-tContinued.)
By CLARENCE DANvERs.


lady Viola heard of Lord Dunean's
decision to remain, with sinking feeling
~ her heart. Lord Berys, carrying out
his plan to the letter, had deemed 1T ad-
visable to act in every way as though he
we're expecting the duke back soon.
The mystery of his future son-m-iaws
disappearance caused him much mental
disouiet. Putting few discreet ques-
tions to the servants--to whom he gave
the same explanation as to their masters
absence-he learned that a person named
Smvthe had called early in the morning,
and that a lnan, evidently a gypsy, had
also been interviewed by the duke.
The duke had been happy enough yes
terday. Whatever troubles had come to
him today, he had not known of them
last night Berys was sure of that.
Therefore, he reasoned to himself, these
,eople whom he had seen that morning
had been in some way or other concerned
in the move he had taken.
This Smythe, whoever he might be,
must be found at once and questioned.
A plot was afoot to ruin the duke, the
reason of which he could not gauge. but
that it was afoot had been clearly
shown, and that it was a powerful one
had been proved by the fact that the
duke had game.
Lord Berys sent wire to Cecil's
solicitors, and had a long interview with
them directly they arrived. The news,
of course. threw them into a state of the
Utmost CONSERVATION, but they agreed
that his lordship had taken the wisest
course, and congratulated him on his
diplomacy. What the next step was to
lie could not be decided today, except
that detectives were to be quietly set to
work at once to scour the neighboring
country for the missing duke.
Lady Viola heard from her father the
result of his interview with Cecifs law
vers, and gained little hope when she
was told that they were going to try
and trace him. He could not have gone
far she thought; perhaps they would
oyertake him and bring him back ere the
evil had had time to work much harm.
She went to sleep that night, after
hours of wakefulness, with q fervent
prayer in her heart
Heaven, give him back to me-" she
cried passionately. Bring him back
that l may prove my love for him. II
is not his wealth or title, OF anything he
has, that holds nay love. 1t is himself
and even though he may be poor and
outcast, | will love him still. He is my
lfe-my SOUL Give him back to me, or
l cannot live!"
Oh, that Cecil had heard that prayer!
Not then would he have FASTENED on,
faster and yet faster, farther and yet
farther from the love of loves he dared
not shame.
But he knew nothing of all this-of
all the kind schemes that Lord Berys
clever mimi had evolved, to prevent open
scandal. And so, while Viola lived in an
agony of doubt, her lover was, miles
away, in an equally miserable frame of
mind, yainly trying to forget her.

which had unwilingly and so innocently
drawn him into an abyss of despair and
guilt.
II love you!" he cried, fercely. you
cannot escape me! No power ON earth
can take yen from me, for | have sworn
that you shall be mine, whatever the
cost-at even the price of blood"
A cry of mortal agony came from her
as his arm closed round her, crushing her
almost into Inconsistencies in its des-
perste grip, and for a couple of seconds
he held her thus, half -fainting and power
less to break away from the worst he
might do, whilst again in its hideous
mirth his maniacal laughter resounded
through the air.
Thus and-thus-do | show you"
he cried. You are mire! You shall
never live to give yourself to another!"
Suddenly her strength returned, and.
with mighty wrench, she freed herself
from his hateful grasp. and an anguished
scream echoed through the stiffness of
the night
Help, father-help!"
Then, as once again Lord Duncan tried
to take hold of her, she tottered forward
in a last endeavor to pass him, and fell
senseless to the ground.
Lord Duncan bent over her. but ere he
could touch her, Lord Berys. who had
heard his daughters scream, rushed ont
of the house to her side.
Almost at once she opened her eyes,
and, seeing her father. gasped out cry
of relief. He helped her to rise, and in
moment she was standing up, supported
by his protecting arm.
Berys now turned to Duncan with an
inquiring look. Lord Duncan answered
that look.
Lady Viola tainted he said, harshly.
81 fear shocked her with some unpleas-
ant truths about the villain she has
promised to marry"
"Will you kindly explain yourself %
commanded Lord Berys, sternly. q I'M
derstand neither your tone nor your
words, Lord Duncan"
Take me in, father" said Viola, quiz
ering like a leaf This man has insuted
me beyond all pardon. He must account
to you for what he has done"
Lord Berys grew pale with anger.
You have insulted my daughter sir,
and. as she says. you must answer for it
to me. | shall await you in the library
in five minutes time"
Lord Duncan laughed: q cruel, ex-
| ultant look glittered in his eyes. and q
tiendish sneer lowered on his mouth.
1t is your so-called duke who will
have to answer to you, | fancy!" he
Missed. But we shall sect"
And. with these words, he turned on
mis- heel and left them.
Viola, released from the strain of his
presence, sank sobbing ON her fathers
breast.
1T is he" she moaned, che who has
sent Cecil away--he who has tried to
wreck my darling's life! ! see it all now
