country is all by dogsled. Horses could
not possibly wade through the snow.
So l hired three dogsleds and two
half-breed guides and started.
1t showed some the first day and was
frightfully cold 1 wish I could describe
the scenery to you.
The snow spread as far as your eye
could see when the country was level
or gently sloping, but in the rougher
places it arose in great mounds like
Pixies Peak.
1t was nothing but snow, snow, snow,
until just shut my eyes and sat buried
in the buffalo robes, while the dogs
trotted or galloped over the crust.
When night fell we were in a deep
ravine and our journey was protracted
until late hour. 1 thought we must
die, 1t was SO cold. Finally we reached

hills.

Of the retail meat business in New Or

Happy, But Nervous

. 1GOTT and his devoted sweetheart
had been there one day ahead of US.
Miss Byram. the lumbermen told me,

complaint.
She seemed happy. they asserted,
though a bit nervous. They did not
know the cause of her nervousness, and
did not enlfghten them.
On the following day we were obliged
to pass a long line of bluffs, whose sides,
beaten by SHOWS. were so dazzling In
whiteness that they hurt my eyes. On
the way through one gap in these hills
noticed huge footprints, like those Of
giant. The guides said they were
made by bear.
The footprints were about twenty-four
hours old, and so the bear must have
been on hand about the time P1gott
and his comrade passed that way.
After that we crossed a barren plain,

sum, estimated at $4,000 in

and partly to further avenge her
wrongs.
The story is told best by Detec-

ran Miss Byram and Pigot to earth.
