easy step Though l was alone on a lonely trail
fet no nervousness. After | left the valley
of our creek the trail, which became much more
like a country road from then on, fell away gradu
ally for about five miles at the end OF winch descent
I struck nv first road house at eght-thirty IN the
morning / had covered eight miles In three and
half hours and felt satisfied with my progress.
At ten o'clock hit the trail again, as the saying
is Now 1 found walking much more severe, for
I had an uphill stretch of sixteen miles before
me- But | persevered and at two O'Clock when
stopped for luncheon at quaint little road house
where | was overcharged for my meal, l had
covered seven more miles, making fifteen altogether
Nv heart was set twenty miles for the hrst day,
and though tired and footsore l resumed the trlP
shortly before four o'clock In the afternoon. l
must admit that after | had advanced mile orso
sat down by the side of the trail and had good cry
But tears wouldn't help, so l bathed my aching
feet in an icy brooklet and pushed on ahead BY
the time reached my last road house that night at
eight-thirty l was staggering with fatigue and SUI
fering from a frightful headache. l felt like
tramp; but 1 had walked twenty-one miles my first
day and knew that l had done well
had advanced nearly mile on the trail next
morning when l had piece of good luck being
overtaken by wood hauler's wagon the driver
of which proved to be our former cook He offered
me a lift which gladly accepted and for the next
seven miles I rode the top of his load OF wood
At the end of the seven miles he had to leave the
main trail and consequently had to resume my
tiresome tramping
The cook had seen William in town and gave
me a telephone number by which could reach him
So when found road house with the long distance
service sent word to my husband through third
person that l would be in Dawson that afternoon
BY this time at the Ogilvie Bridge which
crosses the Klondie River and is close to the city
Taking the road that runs along the bank OF the
famous stream, 1 soon saw the log houses winch
stand at the citys southern limits, and then passing
under the shadow of high bluff l came face to
face with my husband
Our luck has turned" he cried. And then as
he came up to me: You little brickl'

which l had read in the coast papers, for while
I had to wear furs and felt shoes did not suffer
much. So one day asked William:
when is it going to get extremely cold:
He looked at me in amazement. why, ne

three separate occasions since you came.
But / didn't feel it.
"You won't feel the cold" he said, until your
second winter and then you will feel 1t worse each

By Christmas-tme cabin was really home
like and cosy. | had covered the chairs with
gunny-sacking which dyed myself and when we
were not sleeping the rough bed was turned into
a comfortable lounge by means OF sofa pillows 1or
which had worked fancy tops.
Early in January the man who cooked Tor our
miners drew his wages and left for civilization and
l. being heartily tired of doing nothing when every
one else worked for seven days week, Pleaded
with William to let me cook Tor us all lie Would
not consent until l agreed to accept one hundred
dollars a month as wages Then he entered my
name on the books and my life became busy one
I intended doing the work until the end of une,
when was to be paid at the cleanup, and accord
ingy figured that l should have SIX hundred dollars
of nv own in the bank by that time
Until the latter part of February the 'pann1ng
indicated that the dump pile of pay dirt we were
taking out would yield large sum; but In that
month the pay streak seemed to show signs OF
petering out Still this often happens IN MINING
and we were not disheartened.
Gradually the days grew longer, and the sun once
more flashed from the heavens after an absence OF
months The winter was succeeded by couple
of weeks of rainy weather, which gave us great
satisfaction since without water it is impossible
to sluce out the pay dirt and obtain the precious
yellow dust. After the rain came glorious weather
But our Joy over the advent of the summer was
soon forgotten, for our dump yielded barely enough
to pay our men their wages They felt our Ill
luck as keen1y as did ourselves, and not wishing
to leave us penni1ess offered to give time on part
of their money. But they had worked hard, and
we could not take advantage of their kindness.
William had secured the boiler and machinery
from one of the large commercial companies OF the
North by paying half down and giving mortgage
on the claim for the balance, and we sent them
letter telling them to take possession.
1t was a terrible blow to William, but he took

in it some large surgeons and
tanning them. This he accom-
phshed, and the neighbors were
astonished one day to see the
eccentric animal-lover sitting IN a
small boat and being towed about
the pond. He had trained the
surgeons to harness and made
them fast to a light boat which
they towed about. The harness
was simple, a large loop that
fitted over the head of the SIX

We had enough provisions in the cabin to last

At the end of six or seven days, the foreman who

From time to time l had heard of the long dis

TINE story is told of a critic
who always found fault with
L everything, that he once
walked into a barber shop, and
as usual began to find fault with
an owl that he supposed to be
stuffed. Its position was unnat-
ural, its feet too far apart, its
eyes too staring; indeed the critic
had left the taxidermist but little
to stand upon-when the owl
turned its head; it was alive.
Some critics might be led into
a similar predicament by gazing at
one of my tame armadillos.
The armadillo is a queer pet,
perhaps one of the last one would
think of keeping. When taken
up, the old animal sat quietly, but
when placed on the ground or
floor it began an uneasy walk or
trot about the room. The young,
rarely seen, were strange little
creatures, closely resembling the
parents, the shell soft with the
consistence of rubber The mother
paid no attention to them when
they were picked up, displaying
neither solicitude for them nor Joy
when they were returned. Indeed.
when the family were placed tos

possible to make them remain in position for
two minutes. They had funny cratic motion
that could be compared only to a sudden dropping
to sleep and awakening a series of quick unex-
pected motions laughable to contemplate, move
ments which make photography almost impossible.
The armadilos while tame, made absolutely no
demonstration and aside from their singular nature

ness. On the other hand, If either OF
them should be the lucky drawer OF
the first claim, which will be worth

10 change their plans.

the registration books were opened on
Tuesday, are TO the effect that over
5000 persons have already REGISTERED,
and the indications are that before the
time expires for registration, at least

The Only Way.

There is no way to maintain the
health and strength Of mind and body
except by nourishment. There is no
way to nourish except through the
stomach. The stomach must be kept
healthy, pure and sweet or the
strength will let down and disease
will set up. No appetite, loss of
strength, nervousness, headache, con-
stipation, bad breath, sour risings,
rifting, indigestion, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles that are durable are
quickly cured by the use of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. Kodol digests what
you eat and strengthens the whole
digestive apparatus.
