PRosPECToRs' PLUCK.

The story of the stampede over the
Arctic divide of the Seward peninsula
is one of the heroic pages of history
which will probably never be written
in detail 1t abounds in instances of
reckless daring and optimistic philoso-
ply. Imagine, for instance. a starving
man walking sixty miles with frozen
feet and then cheerfully sitting down
and amputaiing his own blackened
toes with his pocketknife. in order to
avert blood-posoning. Such episodes
as that are mere trivial details in the
history of the Arctic Ocean or bust
stampede.
There were no trails in those frozen
wilds, and each party had its own
ideas as to the best route. Half frozen
and on famine rations they struggled
northward. Some of them came upon
lava beds that necessitated a painful!
and difficult portage, and often, for
weeks at time, they had no shelter
but their sleeping bags.
1t was impossible to calculate def
nitely on the days travel. for fierce and
sudden blizzards forced them to the
shelter of their sleeping bags for hours.
and even days. The spirit thermome-
ter often registered sixty degrees be-
low zero.
1t was no uncommon thing for men
to prospect through six feet of snow
for handful of dwarf willows in order
TO procure drinking water, for insanity
turks in unmelted snow when men or
dogs quench their thirst with it on the
trail. Despite the scantiness of the
supply of provisions they were able to
carry. they had no fear of venturing
hundreds OF miles from their base of
supplies. Many mushers ran forty
miles day behind the dogs, some
struggled on for days after their food
was exhausted, gnawing grass and
willow bark in an effort to keep body
and soul together.-Marie Coe, in Sun
set Magazine.

young artist admirably. There was

But Beauty seemed to find this dis
course alarming. She hid her face and
made a feint Of crying. After much
petting and whispering by Florence the
child was persuaded to turn toward the
curtain again and even displayed some
small signs Of enthusiasm.
''She'll be great when she sees it."
said Varick Don't hold her too tight
". Let her run. l want to see just
how she does it. Nowr
Suddenly he swept the curtain aside,
and at the same moment Florence re-
leased her hold upon the child The re-
moval Of the gentle hands which had
held her frightened Beauty, and she
shrank back till she could get good
grip Of Florence's skirt. Thus sus-.
tanned, she stood staring at the tree
her eyes widening and her face bright
ening. But she was immovable and
speechless.
"Just like the othersv' groaned Var
ick. ''She doesn't do a thing But she
likes it, though. l can see that She'll
be all right in minute"
Like it, Beauty" asked Florence.
Beauty looked around timidly and
whispered an unintelligible word.
Its all for you, little girl said Var
ick; "all yours"
Beauty's pose became less trancelike.
She seemed to be struggling with some
thing in the nature of an idea.
Mine" she said, with difficulty.
"Oh-hv'
She took the least little step forward.
Yes, yours" whispered Florence;
'all for YOU"
Slowly the child crept forward step
by step and dragging Florence after
her. 1t was wonderful display Of
courage. Beauty braved the unfamil-
lar, dazzling, menacing apparition in
the corner for the sake of the dolly
which lay in its embrace. Having won
that prize, she retreated hastily and sat
down in far corner, with the dolly
clasped to her bosom. The neglected
Christmas tree was behind her.

later, "and Chase and his publisher
may do what they please. Chase is ev-
identity a donkey. He is ignorant Of

already. But had few illusions in
regard to myself. This little expert
