BUYS TRANSPORTATION LINES.
Gugeenmeims Take Another Step in
Opening Eye of Yukon.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 6.-The
World says: The Guggenheims have
secured the railway and steamship
holdings of the White Pass & Yukon
Railway. The news was brought down
from White Horse by the steamer
Amur. 1t is also stated that the Gug-
genheims may establish steamship
lines between Vancouver and Skag-
way. The boats also will call at Sc
attle."
Commenting on the report, the White
Horse Star says:
IF it is true. as reported, that s42,-
600 freight was paid on the Bear
Creek dreige, it certainly stands the
Guggenheims in hand to own their
own transportation lines before at
tempting TO establish several dozen
dredges in the country.
with local transportation lines in
the hands of the Guggenheims, the
possibility of the local copper fields
and of the entire quartz interests Of
Southeastern Yukon are greater than
can be computed. The Guggenheims
had several experts out for weeks
last fall and if true that the railroads
have changed hands, there is little
doubt but the reports of the experts
were largely instrumental in stimu
lating the purchase. The proposition
is a gigantic one and We believe the
consummation of the reported deal
would rebound to the interests of all

When Jane, then aged sixteen, came
back from France, having finished the
school course, the payments suddenly

or twice during the next year. But he
never came back, and for three years

After a time the McGinns made in

nah McGinn's sharp eyes had seen a
crest stamped on some of the Saltere
books. They at once decided that the
Captain was the heir of a noble house
and had been under a cloud while liv-
ing. He was dead now, without doubt
and his rank and fortune were waiting
for his daughter.
The McGinns then advertised. they
consulted lawyers, they poured out
their little hoard like water. -Four
years crept Dy in this doubt. The poor
couple tried to support Jane in the
old luxury, but they steadily grew
poorer. At last they were convinced
that there was no chance for them but
in emigration.

homage that a Chinaman does to his

in Jane the high bred, wronged heroine
of the old romances long SO dear to
them, and the fidelity Of her guardians
was only a reproduction of the story
of Scott's ideal clansmen.

A GARDEN ROMANCE.

A dewdrop lay on leafy spray
In the rosy morn of a summers day,
And the wee coquette with shy
glance met
The flashing eye of the Day God, set
In the heavens old like an orb of gold
Whose beaming FURNISHED the blossom
ed void.
He, wise old beau, for an hour or so
Bethought to firt with the wight be-
low,
And the court he paid to the mist-born
maid
The robins watched from the scented
shade.
How the sun would smile at the dew
the while
And her thoughts from earth to the
skies beguile!
How the dew would blink at the sun
and wink
And change from opal and pearl to
pink!
Till a moss-rose cried, near the dew
drops sides
False one, thou hast promised to be
my bride!"
But the rose must sigh with no dew
drop nigh,
And droop and wither and fade and
die!"
When the dewdrop heard, quick her
slight form stirred,
And she sprang to his heart like a
frightened bird
And when Ladye Grace in We robe OF
lace
Came tripping down through the frag-
rant ways,
She found-it is said-in the garden
bed
A red, red rose and a dewdrop wed!
