Bennington heard no more. AS his hands
came in contact with the brass rail at the
back of the chair there came tremendous
blow at the base of the brain, cold feeling
Of sudden death, and the crisis was past.
When Bennington came to himself again he
was lying on bed in a small room; there
was a lamp on a table by his side. He had
no feeling whatever that he had suffered
from violence of any kind his head was
clear and bright, his limbs felt as elastic
and virile as ever. He was like man who
had suddenly awakened from a long sleep;
he was just fresh and vigorous. The
bed on which he was lying completed the

What new devils work is this?" Ber-
rington muttered. ''Oh. l recollect."
The room was small but comfortably fur

erate; on the ceiling a three-branch
eectroier, but the switch by the door had
been removed for some reason or other.
On the table by the bed was very liberal

and syphon of soda water, also a box of
cigarettes and another of cigars. silver

He took cigarette.
Clearly he was a prisoner. The window
was shattered with iron and a small round
ventiator; high up, inside the door, was
another sheet of iron. There was perhaps
a little consolation in the fact that no per-
sonal violence was intended. For long

 "Clark was the fourth to register at Sitks. He followed the litigatian of the southeastern camps for years, and fn- ally went to Nome. There he was @ prominent figure in public affairs. His participation in one affair as the presid- ing oficer-a miners meeting during the Moves regime dispersed by soldiers -is pictured in Rex Beach's Spoilers. :"

The proceeds will help Alert Fire Company, of which the lad dies invite you to become an adjunct by organizing coffee brigade.

Consequently, the gentlemen came to town in a rowboat. Work on the quarries is progressing nicely.
 \ certain Wrangell lady gays she does her trading with the merchants who ad- vertise in this paper, because the lad" is sort of invitation to her, whereas, it would seem that the merchants who do not advertise don't care whether people patronize them or not. Besides, she is sure of getting fresher goods from the advertising merchants, because they sell so much more and have to get goods more often. That is sound logic.
