There passed through Skagway the other day Falcon Toslyn captain of pioneers, known ,o al Alasbans as an energetic, level headed man of this north laad, one who has do7e more than the average for it's development and one who keeps at work along the same lines hoping and expecting to accomplish much more. IJ was Falcon Joslyu who carried up tho long stretch of ocean and over the mountains and down the rivers and up the rivers and again over the bill Of the far interior those engines and rails and supplies that now constitute the Panama Mines railroad; who brought that railroad into being in the heart of the wilder ness in ap amazingly short space Of time and so carried relief Co the miners at work in that difficult country. To have heard this practical business man talk of the conditions that embarrass that wonderful Panama country, hold i,s development in check, to have seen his throat swell with feeling and heard his voice tremble with vibrant indjg- nation as be cried "Yes, quote me, quote me if you wish-it IS 8 thing that should be known and must be known and how else save through the treest publicity. say only what l krow- quote me b all means. There never was a condition that could compare with ltIout of Russia-and | question if greater injustice has been done there. The whole country has been tied up with litigation, men waiting upon the judgement of the courts while the courts are not in session. or delay month after month with their decisions until these months run away with the seasons into years and that for which these men have struggled and starved and frozen, and through these suherings and volun. tary privatlons GAINED, are lost to them. have been witness of so much

head d-that my wonder al what men do in their struggle for their own, against powerful outlaws, has changed 10 amaaemcnt rather at their self restraint. You remember that the court at San Francisco. in rendering judgment in the Nome cases was so i'm pressed at this solf-restraint Of the victimizcd miners that it went out Of it's way to remark upon it. Surely [ the conditions obtaining in the Panama were equally we'll known it would draw iorth like euComium. The Dome creek cases are only samples oi a condition that is general. After waiting for whole season for the peaceful adjudica- tlou of cases which they went into court to secure Judge Reid came in there and opered 8 session announcing that he intended 10 "cleau up the docket" The whole country was re- ioiced to hear it. He began holding a continuous session day and night, Every man was expected to be ready when called. Lawyers explained that in the long interval of waiting their witnesses had scattered-some were up al the Salchaket, others at Kanushna, Hot Springs, etc.-it would take time to summon them. The reply was "it makes no difference; you must be resdy-I an going to clean up this docket" And so he did. There are two things to be considered in the ad- ministration of justice; one is to give both sides fair opportunity to present their case; the other is that both sides shall feel when it is over, that they have been fairly heard. As a result of the session of court held In this fashion all litigants were consumed with a sense Of wrong-those that woo laughed, no doubt, and those that los groaued-but neither felt that the cases had really been tried on their merits After a month of this hurried form of hearing cases the court adjourned. pnd the judge went outside promising 10 re-

Precisely as she came to this conclusion

one of the great wandering waves, which

Hester became suddenly conscious OF q
paralyzing sense Of her own insignif-
canoe. although the lady's manner was
perfectly civil: she was evidently a for
eigner and a grande dame who spoke
English fiuently. with a pretty accent.
The stranger had a pair of piercing black
eyes. which seemed to look one through
and through. Had she seen or heard her
making Inquiries from the postcard
woman? cloud of sudden misgiving
descended upon Hester and sickening
sense of shame. She felt as If she should

ment. Murmuring a faint good bye" she
proceeded to crawl into her victoria from
which she presently emerged on the steps
of her hotel in the condition of that truly

Hester Forde, never till the coffin lid had
closed down upon her. What Nancy BY
ing had said of her friend was true. Her
feelings. all her life. had been severely
repressed: yet an immense store OF sen
timent-yes. and passion-lay dormant
within her. Now. at sudden call, this
had sprung to life: a glance from a pair
of expressive eyes. a winning smile an
easy grace had summoned Hester's inner
self. and her heart. which had been SUM
bering. was awake at last.
Love at first sight may appear amazing,
incredible. impossibly foolish. and yet
such an experience is not uncommon.
Hester no longer pondered as to whether
the tall bald-headed man was the pretty
woman's husband or no? If the couple al
the table under the window were brother
and sister? or If the little lady in sky
blue was really the mother of those great
big girls? Now she had something else
on which to spe culate-who was he? when
should she see him again? would he
recognize her-and bow?
Alas! my dear. simple Hester (as you

while others play cards.. what a pity it is
you cannot know that already your hero
has forgotten it-and you.
He is not the man to cast second
thought to the small act of courtesy paid
to a dowdy. awkward "Anglaise." Paul
de Sarazin, the eldest son of a Spanish
grandee. is thoroughly alive to his i'm
portance. You are by no means the only
woman in whose eyes he has found favor:
indeed. through all his thirty years he has
been spoiled and adored by your sex.
Paul enjoys every moment Of his life. his
spirits are Observation-Disclosures standing

conauests men remain his friends. for de

ability, is a man who can both ride and

She is extremely pious. and invariably
attends the o'clock mass of a morning;
but when she receives her friends three
evenings a week, they frequently gamble
until dawn.
Paul de SaraZn. who was educated in
England. has many acquaintance. He
belongs to the club. he hunts, he plays
golf-he also plays the fool. As Hester
