CHAPTER Ill.
Pau S Discovery.

It 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
his hand, and was gesticulating wildly
toward a 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 KlOnoike, and these
hardy frontiersmen felt like wreaking
vengeance upon the perpetrators.
Il tell We, boys, we ought to make
a holy example O. that precious rascal
in yonder shanty. We have found gold
here by the million o. dollars, an when
we thought we had an honest com
munity four thieves pounce upon Us,
rob one o. us, an almost kill him. Now
let's hang the teller Crack Lash

"Wait, boys" cautioned Glum Rails
ton, who had listened TO the harrangue
of Gid Myers. "This chap what got a
little more lead in his skin than he
calkerlated ON amt gOin' t git away.
I tell We that robbery warn't done by
accident. 1t warn't planned in min
nit neither"

poor in every thing but JACK, pluck and
faith in their future. Their worldly
possessions consisted of just enough
to pay their passage to San Francisco,
thence to Juneau, and Oh to Forty
Mile Camp, and. provide themselves
with the necessary stores for year
On the 18th they were married at
the pretty little church in Fresno, and
their friends in great numbers gath
cred about them to congratulate them
and bid them a fearful sadieus
Next day the bride and groom took
their departure for San Francisco.
Laura imprinted 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
a dozen other men, some young and
some middle-aged, but Ethel was the
only lady in the party bound for the
frozen north.
S 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 a stove and tent, and every night
the latter was pitched in some spot
where the snow was hard. Beds of
boughs 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 muffied in bear

or boat as the case might be, and

Food of Various Nations.


In France the sea anemone is used
as food; stuffed like peppers and boil.
ed it calls to mind crab or crayfish
The echini of various species is also
used, cooked in the shell, like an egg,
and eaten with spoon. In nearly all
the old countries of Europe of the
type of Spain and Italy, the poor are
so poor that everything IN the nature
OF food is utilized. Absolutely moth.
ing is wasted and meat is rare. The
writer recalls the surprise of an Itali.
an fisherman who landed in California
after a trip around the Horn, and was
amazed, not at the country, but with
the abundance of food. He found his
countrymen eating meat twice, per.
haps three times a day, when he rare
ly had it once a month. He saw hun
dreds OF pounds of fish wasted, and
discarded merely because the people
Gid not care for it, when in Italy even

and thrown away because they were

scrap of this fish was saved. America

DAMAGE DONE BY LoCUSTS.
Seventeen-Year Specimens Have Be-
qun Their Work.

Scventeen-Year Specimens Have Be-
gun Their Work
The 17-year 1ocusts are beginning
to show what real damage they can
do. When they first appeared in num-
bers in parts of Maryland few weeks
ago the farmers charged them with
but very little damage; now the resi-
dents tune has changed, and all about
you can hear them saying: 'The To-
Gusts are running my shade and fruit
trees" According to the farmers, the
greatest damage being done by the
locusts is to the Inns of trees. After
the locust energies from the ground
lit at once makes for the body of the
tree, and sticks upon it until ready to
emerge from it's shell, which is exactly
the shape of the insect, legs, and all.
The shell breaks lengthwise of the
locust, from the middle of the back
to the head. Out of this opening the
locust comes forth as white as sheet,
It Immediately begins to crawl to the
trunk of a tree. 1t is not long be.
fore it begins to get darker in color,
until within a few hours it becomes
almost black, with the exception OF
the body and the eyes, which remain
a reddish brown. AS soon as they
turn dark they proceed to the extreme
ends of the trees where they do the
damage. The females sting kills the
branches. Chickens, dogs and spar.
rows are making short work of the
insects when they come in contact
with them. The crops in the fields
have not suffered as yet.

Lobster Mortality Hiuh.

A lobster lays thousands of eggs

fault of the mother, for she carries
khem about with her for nearly year

them as she does her own life. Wher
the young are set free, her duty is
done, for they must then SHIFT fo,
themselves. Though hardly larger
than mosquitoes, being about one@thirt
of an inch long, the little ones leave
their parents on the bottom and swim
toward the Iight-to the surface
where, for one or two months, if for

rowing life. The open sea is poor
