why have you lived so long in
Alaska2"
Il could not ST. away" was the
answer. Yours is the only face |
have seen since left my friends. the
Indians, save those who held me
captive"
~And you have escaped?"
"Yes."
Then come with US to the camp
on the Klondyke."
'Xlondyke-rve heard OF it; they
often talk about it when they think
me asleep. 5ut do not always sleep
when seem to-"
Paul was filed with delight, for
here was a chance to unrayel the
mystery in which he was involved
Another silence fell on the group,
broken by Paul asking:
do you know a miner named
Glum?"
"Glum-Glum-no."
"Glum Ralston."
The old man again shook his head,
declaring he had never known such a
person Paul was disappointed. From
what Glum Ralston had told him he
was confident that this mysterious
hermit of the woods was the long
lost captain who had followed the
Indians to the place where they said
gold in great quantities was found.
But when the mysterious hermit
disclaimed any knowledge of him at
all he was quite as far away from
the solution of the problem as he
had been before.
Next morning the party resumed
their march guided by the sun, which
shone a portion Of the day. Paul
and the hermit were constantly to-
gether, and hourly grew more and
more friendly, until. as the noble
nature of the hermit unfolded itself,
Paul came to love him. He was
known to the hermit by his sobriquet
of Crack-lash, for he had been called
by no other name since his arrival
in Alaska.
Paul was hourly entwining him
self about the rugged heart of the old
man. One night when they had
halted and the Indians were building
a fire for the night the hermit said:
"Crack-lash, you impress me
strangely. / don't know why, but |
have grown to love you as if you
were my nearest relative. When my
own dear boy grows up to manhood
could only wish that he would make
as noble a man"
Paul, deeply impressed with the
old mans sad story, expressed hope
that he would soon be able to leave
Alaska and reach his home, and that
his wife and child might yet be alive
to welcome him.
Their stock of provisions were run
ming short One day the Indians
came on the trail of a moose and |
were anxious to start on its trail. |
Paul gave them permission to go,
while he and the hermit kindled the /
fire and prepared to make themselves
for the night.
The prisoner as usua. sat in sullen
silence, with his back against a tree
and his eyes fixed on the fire. Paul
and the hermit sat engaged in earn
est conversation. The former was
talking in low tone, telling how he
had been robbed by the prisoner and
three others, and followed them into
--c forest He was in the midst of
MS narrative when two objects sud-
ienly appeared before them, each
With Winchester rifle and said:

Having persuaded the president to postpone the special session until No vember 13, the stand patters" will now proceed to show him that that leaves only three weeks before the regular session. They will add that nothing can dissuade congress from ad- journing the special session at least a week before the date for the regular meeting, December 4, and that means that the extraordinary session would last just two weeks, ridiculously short time, as everyone admits. The reason that congress would insist on adjourning a week before the date of the regular session is that the members would be determined to secure their extra mileage. It will be recalled that when congress last permitted special session to be merged into regular ses- sion they lost their extra mileage. Now the president will be asked if, in his estimation, the two weeks of special session is worth to the people the $780, GOO for mileage which 1t is certain to cost. That he will be compelled to reply in the negative seems almost as- sured. It may, therefore, be safely predicted that there will be no special session of congress next fall, which is precisely what the opponents of tariff revision and railway rate legislation want.
