CHAPTER vi.
Berry's Success.

We will for the present take leave
of Paul Raiston and return to Berry's
party on their way to the Klondyke.
They arrived first at Forty-Mile
camp, but here found nothing to do.
Clarence staked out a claim and
went to digging. 1t was a slow proc
ess and the reward was poor. He
took out a little gold, but not
nearly enough to pay him for the
hardships. Then came reports of the
wonderful finds in the Klondyke dis
trict.
Nov is your time, Clarence" said
Ethel. 60 at once and make all you
can, while there are so few in the
country"
What shall l do with your" he
asked.
Leave me behind"
ETHEL, l cannot think of doing
that" he declared.
"You must, Clarence. I will follow
as soon as possible, but hasten on
now and stake out a claim for us.
Stake out two, one for you and one
for me. feel that this is the turning
point in our careers"
And so it proved.
1t was the saddest day Of his life
when Clarence Berry babe adieu to
his young wife and started alone for
the distant mining camp. The part
ing Of the husband and wife, as the
reader may imagine, was affectionate,
but there were no tears. Ethel re-
strained them and smiled cheerfully
as long as she was in sight, to run
into her shanty and have little cry
the moment she could see him no
more
The river, which must be crossed
before she could reach the Klondyke,
was already beginning to show signs
of floating ice, and she knew 1t would
only be a short time before 1t would
be completely frozen over. So she
worked with will and got everything
packed and started on the little steam
er Arctic" for the new land of gold.
Her husband and his party Joined her
on the way up the river.
1t was late in the season when this
devoted, daring couple struck gold of
any consequence. Then it came in a
torrent All through the winter Clar-
ence Berry was piling up wealth. His
wife was at the mines every day, and
as the great chunks of frozen earth
were dumped on the ground her fair
fingers were busily at work picking
out the nuggets. During the season
she picked out ten thousand dollars
worth Of golden pebbles with her
fingers.
Though absorbed In gold digging,
she never forgot Paul, who with Glum
Ralston had not been heard from
since those two persons left in search

CHAPTER VII.
Glum Ralston's Return.


After the frantic effort on the part
of Belcher to seize Ethel Berry for
discovering him to have been in Lack
lands employ, the wounded man grew
sullen. The miners were anxious to
hang him and to have 1t over with,
but cooler heads prevailed. 1T will
never do" said Clarence Berry, ITO
destroy the only hope we have Of
recovering Paul's gold and solving
this mystery, which deepens with
every new development. Besides, we
have had no lynching yet in the Klon-
dyke, and let us not have any if we
can avoid it,"
One evening after the simple re-
past was over, Clarence and Ethel sat
discussing the probable fate of Paul,
who was never out of Ethel's mind.
Poor Paul, he must be dead" she
said, her eyes filling with tears. 81
must write to Laura; l must tell her
his awful fate"
After a few moments silence he
heaved a. sigh and said:
1T will be very bad news"
"She must know it some time,
Clarence"
THAT is true, and perhaps the
knowledge of his fate, awful as it is,
will not equal the suspense"
Il will write tomorrow. When
can the letter get through"
mot before spring-you need not
hurry" he answered, with a SAD
smile
Suddenly the door was caused to
quake by the thump from a giant
fist, and, opening it, they found their
nightly visitor, Dick, but he was not
alone this time, Gid Myers was at his
side. The faces of the two men wore
looks of anxiety.
What is the matter?" asked Clar.
ence.
I'VE want yer gun, Clarence" said
Long Dick, as soon as he could re-
gain his breath. II want to tell We
on the dead that there's either some
man, bear or old Nick up on the
hill"
Fearing their excited imagination
had conjured up a monster from a.
wandering polar bear, though those
animals were seldom seen in that part
OF the country, Clarence took down
his Winchester rifle and accompanied
his companions to the foot of the hill.
where the mysterious creature had
been seen. A tall, gaunt object with
warm bearskin coat hanging loosely
about his shoulders was coming
slowly down the hill. The approach
ing stranger had his gun strapped on
his back. A Ratchet was in the belt
at his side with his pistols, and ne
was leaning heavily on long, stout
stick. He came slowly, as il very
weary.
Curiosity gave way to pity, and they
hurried up to meet him.
