A Weiqhty Reason.

The other afternoon, while talking
to his gardener, a certain Yorkshire
gentleman expressed the opinion that
the ivy on the end of the porch was Gin
bad way" Indeed, he was half in
clined to pull it down. He subsequent

who, however, was strongly against
such course.
"Ah. John" remarked the gentle.
man. on meeting his gardener the next
morning. "about that ivy. Mrs. "
prefers to let it remain as it is She
advances many good reasons why it
should not be destroyed"
well, sir replied John. "the lady's
entitled to her opinion, of course, but
that ivy ought to come down, y'llnow."
Perhaps it should"
and I've got a good reason or two
for saying So went on the gardener.
"In the first place. it's regular heye-
sore; in the second, it harbors spar
rows. and sparrows is a noosance; in
the third, you had a sort of an idea it
ought to come down Yesterday; and

Ethel Bush were married they were
poor in everything but luck, pluck and
faith in their future. Their worldly
possessions consisted of just enough
to pay their passage to San Francisco
thence to Juneau, and on to Forty
Mile Camp, and provide themselves
with the necessary stores for year.
On the 18th they were married al
the pretty little church in Fresno, and
their friends in great numbers, gath
cred about them to congratulate them
and bid them fearful adieu.
Next day the bride and groom took
their departure for San Francisco
Laura imprinted a kiss on the young
brides lips and whispered:
Give it to him! Oh, wish could
go with you!"
They went to San Francisco, where
they met the remainder of their party
bound for the Klondike. Among the
party was a tall young fellow named
Dick Ronald, from Seattle, who from
his height soon acquired the soubri.
quet of Long Dick. There were half
dozen other men, some young and
some middle-aged, but Ethel was the
only lady in the party bound for the
frozen north.
The voyage and journey to juneau
was made without any unusual discom-
fort. but from that on it became peril
GUS and every mile marked with dan.
ger.
They engaged some Indians as
guides and an Esquimaux with the
euphonious name of Umstich, which
Long Dick translated for convenience
into "Hemstitch.'
Umstitch was engaged as sort of
general superintendent of the dogs and
sleds. of which they had several to
convey themselves and packs across
the bleak. white deserts, the dog being
the only animal capable of making
those journeys in all weather.
The accommodations for the young
bride were poor. but Clarence did the
very best he could for her. They car.
ried stove and tent and every night
the latter was pitched in some spot
where the snow was hard. Beds of
boEghS were made. and Ethel was
wrapped in furs until there was little
chance for her to suffer from cold.
She rode all the way from juneau to
the mining camp we'll muffled in bear
skin robes and furs, strapped on sled
or boat as the case might be. and
while this method of travel was much
better than walking, the uncertainty
OF her position made it anything but
comfortable.

CHAPTER III.
Pau S Discovery.


1t is essential at this point in our
story to return to the Klondike 1t is
again night, and the little camp on
the densely wooded stream is wild
with excitement and confusion. Men
were hurrying to and fro and giving
utterance to angry explanations.
Among the most excited was our old
friend Gid Myers. Gid had rope in
his hand, and was gesticulating wildly
toward cabin that had been erected
on the banks of the stream, around
which stood four or five men with
rifles in their hands.
No wonder the gold-diggers were ex
cited. A terrible crime had been com
mitted in their little community. 1t
was the first that had ever been
known on the Klond1ke, and these
hardy frontiersmen felt like wreaking
vengeance upon the perpetrators.
Il tell ye, boys, we ought to make
