KITTEN BLOCKED SIDEWALK,
Everybody Dodged the Dirty Feline

Everybody Dodged the Dirty Feline
Until Banker Appeared.
AT noon to-day, when Park Row,
Manhattan, was crowded with hungry
mortals. looking for their favorite
eating place, a half-starved black and
white kitten made its appearance on
the sidewalk. 1t might have wander
ed out of some cellar or some tattered
newsboy dropped it. hoping to see
some fun. The ball of dirty fur land,
ed directly in front of a clerk. He
made frantic effort to avoid stepping
on the kitten and was successful. A
young woman following stepped to
one side. The crowd followed her
lead. Then, at the rate of a hundred
or SO a minute, people were turning
aside lest they injure the kitten. Any
one of the number could easily have
raised the little mass of bones on his
or her toe and tossed it into the gut
ter The kitten held full possession
of the sidewalk for fully five minutes.
Then banker, whose time is worth
several dollars minute, caught up
the little feline, worthless from al
most everybody's point of view, and
carried it distance OF twenty feet
and tenderly deposited it in an alley.
And yet somebody the other day
accused New Workers of lacking ten

"Who,"
THE very men who robbed me"
| The reaction which came over the
! old man was terrible to witness. He
recalled that after ali he might lose
his beloved captain, whose life was
still in danger. for he was once more
prisoner
well Well all may yet be LOST
he sighed. "Crack-ash, lets go and
hunt him. Now that we know he is
alive, we got something to hunt for
and Wen hunt him Come, Crack

After considerable persuasion Paul
induced him to wait until next morn
ing; SO they built camp fire and
prepared to pass the night.
Next morning they We're early astir.
They had packed their knapsacks
and were about ready to start, when
Paul suggested
Perhaps the walrus hide will tell
us take a look at it,"
He unrolled the walrus hide, and
the eXsailor, who had long studied
the picture writing of the Alaskan
Indians, bent over it and began TO
slowly and carefully decipher the pic
lures.
The old man had to put all his
knowledge of picture writing to the
seyerest test to read. He made out
that the captain had discovered rich
gold diggings, but the walrus hide
could give them no hint as to the
whereabouts of the three men and
their prisoner.
Paul suddenly rolled up the walrus
hide and stutting it in his knapsack,
said:

ability the scoundrels We're trying to
make him give it to them"

1t was thought in 1903, when over

the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904

lands. the general public were pre-

CHAPTER vi.
Berry's Success.

| We will for the present take leave
OF Paul Ralston 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.
Now is your time. Clarence" said
Ethel. Go at once and make all you
can, while there are SO few in the
country"
What shall do with you?" he
asked
Leave me behind"
Ethel, l cannot think of doing
that" he declared.
"You must. Clarence. l will follow
as soon as possible, but hasten on
now and stake out 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 a 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 it would
only be short time before it would
be completely frozen over. So she
worked with will and got everything
packed and started on the little steam
err 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
for the bold men who had robbed the
youth. =
One night as they sat about their
cheerful fire, there came a rap at the
door of their shanty, and they found
Dick Ronold asking admission.
Come in, Dick. What brings you
out such night and in such a
Storm" asked Clarence.
