It was after mid night when she ceased wfSking back and forth before the rude cabin, which was home to her no longer, and tried to sleep, but in vain. A plan which came unbidden would not leave and to her surprise her mind carried 1t out in such detail that it frightened her. She had never been guilty of dishonora- ble act in her life. and she was amazed at the very thought of one. Get thee behind me, satan!" she exclaimed in- wardly, but the spirit had taken pos session and refused to be driven out. By the time she arose to prepare Jacks early breakfast her plans were worked out ready for execution.
 Her indifference for, Jacks feelings and her own selfishnes came to her a moment when she saw how bravely he took defeat, but when he was out of sight down the mountain path, she was again strong enough to begin her well-laid scheme.
 Going to a little chest in the corner Lucy took cut a bag of unsifted roli dust. and tying on her bonnet. she went out into the yard. Here she picked up a long bar and went slowly down the mountain path until she came tO d numDer or claims marked Baker" on rude slabs. Lucy faitered for a moment when the feeling that they were tombstones came over her. but stronger feeling dominated her actions just then and she moved about until she found the one her husband had mentioned the evening before. She disappeared within the shaft except for the un-bonnet. which bobbed into view at intervals in a way that told how busily its owner was working down there just out or sight
 In the course of an hour Lucy ap- peared again. Her face was flushed and her eye had wild look of victory in 1t, and her whole appearance was one of excited expectancy. She turned to look back at the work she had just completed and murmured: "Theyre sure to find 1t before tomorrow night. and the next day-poor Jack! But he will soon get over 1t and follow me home"
 If Jack noticed any change in his wife that night. he said nothing. and he seemed full of renewed hope. Now 10 bed" he cried as the clock on the wall struck nine. and tomorrow we strike 1t right, and the next day. Lucy" but Lucy had gone out in the

 Lucy was crying harder by this time. but she hastily dried her tears and tried to choke down her disappoint- ment. This was the third year that she had hoped in vain for a visit to the old home, which she had not left for even a week until she married Jack Baker five years ago. That same year he had taken the gold fever and to- gether they had come across the plains Luck had been against them so far. yet Lucy had been very patient except when autum came Then she showed In every little expression how deeply she was longing for home and friends. Jack saw her tears this evening and knew that they were forerunners of another period of autumnal melancholy. and 1t gave him renewed determina- ton to strike gold before the long win ter set in again.
 Lucy's melancholy had indeed come but in a new form. She felt she must go home or give up trying to live. It would be impossible to bear it any lon ger In this mood Ghe was ready to do anything that would aid in fulfilling her desire.

CONTRABAND OF WAR
THE RUSSIAN ATTITUDE IS MADE
 KNOWN.
The London Foreign Ohice Is Pleased With Count LamsdorK's Reply, But Some Points Remain
 at Issue.

St. Petersburg. Sept. 16.-Russia's re- ply to the representations of the United States and Great Britain regarding con traband of war was communicated to their respective embassies this after noon. to Ambassador Hardinge. in principl" meets the views of the American and British Governments regarding food stuffs and coal and other fuel as being conditional contraband of war, dis tinctly placing them in the category of articles susceptible of uses both in war and peace. and as such only con- fiscated when consigned to blockaded ports or destined for the military or naval forces of the enemy. Shipments in the ordinary course of trade by pri- vate persons or firms. even to an en- emy's port, may be considered prima facie not contraband; but upon this point distinct reservation Is made.
 The simple act of consignment by private persons does not preclude the possibility that the articles are not ul timately destined for belligerent forces, and Russia insists that 1t be not neces sarily regarded as conclusive evidence of the innocent character of the goods. In other words, irregular ships papers or other suspicious chromosomes might vitiate the assumption of inno- cent character; but where such suspi cion is raised, the burden of proof to warrant legal seizure Is to rest upon tho captor.
 Count Lamsdorfr's reply was not pre- sented in written form. but was com. municated verbally to Ambassad dor Hardlnge. It will not involve public amendment of Russia's contraband and prize regulations, but in effect 1t be . comes an official interpretation of the original regulations made by the com mission composed of representatives of the ministeries of Foreign Affairs. Ma rine. War and Justice, which consider ed the subject in connection with tho objections raised by the United States and Great Britain and as such will hereafter govern naval commanders and prize courts, which thus far in the war have chased all articles enumerat- ed in Article 6 of the Russian regula s tions as absolute contraband.
 Count Lamdorff's victory in the con- troversy. while not absolutely com plete, Is perhaps noteworthy as having been achieved against powerful ad- verse influences. At one time 1t seem ed doubtful whether any concessions could be obtained but yesterday the Emperor sanctioned the decision which Count Lamsdorf communicated to Ambassador Hardinge today
