Aunt Mary turned the goggles full
upon him.
"A present from Mr.. Clover" She
said, smiling.
.I never knew him to take so much
trouble for any lady before" said
Mitchell; and as she arrived just then
at the foot of the staircase, he pressed
her proffered hand warmly and led her

Aunt Mary thought some OF obeying;
she fished out one oyster, wiped it care
fully with bit of bread, regarded it
with a more than dubious countenance.
and then suddenly decided not to.
'I'd rather be at home when try ex..

her food that was good beyond question

The Water Question.

For the first time since the installa- tion of the present water system, the town of Douglas is entirely without a supply, for all purposes. The con- tinued cold has effectually sealed up the fumes that furnish the big tanks, and they are dry. Never before, with in the recollection of the white men on Douglas Island, has the frost pene- trated to such depth. In other years the cold has continued for even a longer time, but foot or more of snow has always served to protect the ground from the frost. The Hume is frozen to the bottom and the small stream of water that is still leftis find. ing it's way down the bed of the creek that runs through the town. Lawson creek that has always been reckoned an unfailing source by some, is no better, an investigation q few days ago reveal ed the fact that the water in that stream is frozen solid. A hole dug to bedrock found no water.
 The town is now surely at the mercy of fire, should one occur. For cul- mary purposes, the bucket brigade and the water wagon are getting in their work.
 LArER.-Just before going to press, we learn that MT. Murray and his mon have succeeded in turning the water back into the fumes, and, if nothing happens to interfere, the supply will soon be sufficient for all ordinary pur- poses.

The Wind.

This part of Alaska has surely pass ed through great tribulation. Ever since the second of the month the wind has howled with greater or less degree of severity, mostly greater. The continuation of all the winds was last Sunday night. It was then that old settlers began to recall the experiences of the past, when logs were carried through the air and foundations were moved by the force of the wind.
 The wind of Sunday night was a corker, even in the light of comparison, and very few people slept that night. The fires of the week past added to the anxiety, and, in many homes, trunks were packed and bedding and clothing were made into bundles, ready for 8 hasty exit should the worst come. No less than thirty watchmen in Tread we'll and Douglas, kept vigilant out look for fires. The burning of wood was tabooed, and those unable to pur- chase coal were supplied. Sup't. Mac Donald, of Treadwell, spent the greater part of the night encouraging the men by bis presence and counsel. Several small fires that otherwise might. have spread, were thus stopped.
 Mayor Bach, of Douglas, went to his home, and, while assuring his frighten- ed children that there was no immedi- ate danger, found himself smoking three cigars at one time, in an abstract ed and disinterested way.
 MT. P. H. Fox, while standing near his store, became convinced that a loose board that was cutting capers up and down the street, meant to even tually smash window. He gave chase, but, after quarter of an hour spent in fruitless endeavor, concluded that further effort was useless. Then the board came back, broke window for him, one for Mrs. Erickson and another in the store building formerly occupied by the Douglas Clothing Company.
 About 2 o'clock Monday morning the wind subsided and the watchers began to feel easier. Because of the shortage of water and other causes, the vigilance has not been relaxed, and will not be until change in the weather condi' tions.
