without your share of the last SWag,
but I've saved it for you. Prendergast
wouldn't cheat pair
From Granny in the clay chinked
wall he took chamois skin bag. It
contained a quantity Of gold dust and
small nuggets, which he poured into
a miners scales on the table and pro-
ceeded to divide in two portions. This
accomplished, he emptied one of the
portions on to paper and pushed it
out
"That's yours" he said.
Harry's eyes were on his with
piercing intensity now, as though they
looked through him to vast distance
beyond. He was staring through
gray midst at something far off, but
significant, that eluded his direct
vision. The board table, the yellow
gold, the Pickering candlelight, recall
ed something horrifying, in some other
world, in some other life, millions of
ages ago.
He lurched to his feet, overturning
the table. The gold dust ratified to the
floor.
"Your deal!' he said. Then, with a
vague laugh, he fell sidewise upon the
bunk.
August Prendergast stared at him
with look of amazement on his vel
low face. Hes crazy as a chickeh!'
he said
He sat watching him awhile. then
rose and kindled fire on the unsWept
hearth. From a litter of cans and
dented utensils in a corner he pro-
ceeded to cook himself supper. after
which he carefully brushed up the
scattered gold dust and returned it all
to its hiding place. Lastly he rum
mayed on a shelf and found a vial.
This proved to be empty. however,
and he set it ON the table.
II guess you'll do we'll enough with
out any pain killer" he said to him
self. Doctors are expensive. Any
way, I'll be back by midnight
he threw more wood on the fire,
blew out the candle and, closing the
door behind him, set off down the
trail to the town, where a faro bank
soon acquired the bill Jessica had CIV
en- him.

asked Harry.
Only since last night. You've had a
fever
Where is my dog?''
''Dog?" said the other. II never
knew you had one'
Harry's lips set bitterly. 1t had Jared

been a ready object for the crowd to
wreak their hatred upon, because it
belonged to him-because it was Hugh
StiPes' dog!
rs this your cabin, my friend?"
The figure bending over the hearth
Strengthened itself with jerk, and
the blinking yellow eyes looked hard
at him. Prendergast came close to the
bunk
That's the game you played in the
town." he said, with surly sheer.
tits all right for those that take it
in, but you needn't try to bamboozle
me, pretending you don't know your
own claim and cabin! I'm no such
foolr'
A dull flush came to Harry's brow
Here was page from that Ubiquitous
past that faced him. His own cabin!
And his own claim! Well, why not?
"You are mistaken" he said calmly.
II am not pretending. cannot re.
member you"
Prendergast laughed in an ugly, de-
risive way. II suppose you've for
gotten the half year we've lived here
| together and the gold dust we've gath
cred in now and again-slipped it all,
have you?"
Harry stood up. The motion brought
a temporary dizziness, but it passed.
He walked to the door and gazed out
on the pleasant green Of the hillside.
On tree near by was nailed rough,
weather beaten board on which was
scrawled, "The Little Paymaster
Claim" He saw the grass grown
gravel trenches, evidence of abandon
ed work. He had been miner. That
in itself was honest toll.
'The claim is good, then," he said
over his shoulder. I'VE found the
pay?'
Prendergast contemplated him q mo-
ment in grim silence, with a scowi.
you're either really fuddled, Hugh"
he said then, ''or else you're a star
play actor and up to something deep.
Well, have it your own way-it's all
the same to me. But you can't pull
the wool over my eyes long!"
There were mockery and threat in
his tone; but, more than both, the evil
| intimacy in his words gave Harry a
qualm Of disgust. This man had been
his associate. That one hour in the
town had shown him what his own
life there had been.
| What should he do? Forsake for
ever the neighborhood where he had
made his blistering mark? Fling all
aside and start again somewhere and
leave behind this disgraceful present,
with that face that had looked into
his from above the dusty street?
| 1t fate intended that, why had it
turned him back? If such was the
bed he had made, he would lie in it.
He would drink the gall and vinegar
without whimpering. Whatever lay
behind he would live it down. This
| man at least had befriended him.
He turned into the ROOM perhaps
shall remember after awhile" He took
the saucepan from Prendergast's hand.
"Tll cook the breakfast" he said.
Prendergast filled his pipe and watch
ed him. II guess there are bats in your
belfry, sure enough, Hugh" he said at
length. "You never offered to do your
stint before

by what miracle had he been SO altered
as to look upon himself with loath-
ing?
he lifted himself upright, dropping
his feet to the floor. At the movement
the man on the doorstep rose quickly
and came forward.
You're better, Hugh he said. Take
it easy though. Don't get up just yet
I'm going to cook you some breakfast.
He turned to the hearth. kicked the
smoldering log ends together and set
a saucepan on them. you'll be stron-
ger when you've got something be-

NORWAY.

NORWAY.
According to the Dagbladet, work
man was killed in a street fight ON
Torvagade, the densest, so far as
traffic is concerned, in Christiania. The
victim was felled with knife and sew
eral persons who attempted to stop
the fight were injured. Christiania
papers have recently contained sensa-
tlonal accounts of the mob rule in this
part of the city and state that the po-
ice nave as a rule been unable to
cope with the situation. A direct
cause OF these disturbances, the police
state, lies in the fact that socialists
and labor leaders have stirred up
those out of employment and embit-
tered them against the government.
A dispatch from Copenhagen to the
Aftenposten (Christiania) states that
the socalled continental train will
hereafter leave the Norwegian capital
every evening at p. M, and arrive In
Copenhagen the following morning at
9 a. m. Two hours afterwards the
Berlin train leaves, arriving at that
point about 6:45 p. m. Thus it will be
seen that the journey between Chris
tiania and Berlin can be made in twen-
ty-four hours. Through making this
connection the trip between Chris
tiania and Copenhagen will be short
cned by at least six hours.
Christiania will have a crematory
after all. It is already under course
of construction and the furnace has
already been ordered. There have
been many vigorous protests against
the introduction of this form of dis.
posing of the dead, especially on the
part of the clergy, who have done
everything in their power to prevent
1t, but failed. The matter has now
been settled and cremation will now
be recognized as burial form in Nor
way, the same as it is in America and
England.
Great preparations are under way
for the great Holmenkollen event,
which will be held next month. On
that occasion there will be sportsmen
from all parts of northern Europe and
many tourists, who will journey long
distances to see the winter sports in
all their glory in good old Norway.
1t is the one great event of the winter
season and Christiania is already
grooming herself in proper shape SO
as to be ready to receive and enter
tain her many guests In a becoming
manner.
lnasmuch rs the women of Norway
have now secured the right of suffrage
they have established a complete
course in politics, and will commence
their program by giving a series OF
political lectures in the, Norwegian
capital and in other cities in Norway
to which all women who take an in
terest in their country's affairs are in
vtted to participate In. The Christiania
lectures will, be directed by Nine.
Guam, who Is the recognized political
leader among the woman of Norway.
A terrible storm has been raging
in the vicinity of the Christiania ford
and caused a lot of damage to the
shipping industry. A number of YES
sells were at times in peril and it was
for a time feared that a number OF
lives had been lost. On Dec. the
storm abated and during the other.

under her breath, clinchfng her cold
hand. II must hate you! You stole
my love and put 1t under your feet!
You have disgraced my present and
ruined my future! What If you have
forgotten the past your crime? Does
that make you the less guilty or me
the less wretched?' - 81
But withal a silent voice within her
gave the lie to her vehemence. Some
element of her character that had been
rigid and intact was crumbling down.
An old sweet something that dread
full mill had ground and crushed and
annihilated was rising whole and un-
defled, superior to any petty distinc-
ton. regardless of all that lifted CON-
bative in her inheritance, not to be
gainsaid or denied.
She leaned closer, listening to the in
coherent words and broken phrases
borne on the turbid channels of fever.
But she could not link them together
into meaning. Only one name he spoke
clearly over and over again-the name
Hugh Stires- repeated with the dreary
monotony Of child coming a lesson.
She noted the mark across his brow.
Before her marriage, in her blindness,
she had used to wonder wha. it was
like. 1t was not in the least disfgur-
ing. 1t gave touch of the extraor-
binary. It was SO small she did not
wonder that in that ecstatic moment of
her brides kiss she had not seen it.
Slowly, half fearfully, she stretched
out her hand and laid it on his. AS If
at the touch the mutterings ceased.

20 LIVES LOST AT SEA.
Graphic Story of Marine Disaster
Reaches Mobile.


A graphic story of marine dis
aster. which cost the lives of 20
persons, when the steamer Nicholas
Castania, en- route from Havana to
Cienfuegos, foundered off the coast
Of the Isle OF Pines on the night Of
August 23, last, reached Mobile a
few days ago. Meagre news Of the
disaster was given by the Associated
Press August 81.
The crew numbered twenty-seven
officers and sailors. Eighteen human
bodies have been recovered. The
missing eleven are believed to have
become the victims Of sharks. All
the bodies recovered were in ter
rible decomposed state and identifi-
cation was impossible.
A government commission, after
examination, reported that the i'm
mediate cause OF the wreck was the
simultaneous explosion of'the steam
er's battery of boilers, combined with
violent conclusion of the steamer
on the rocks, whittier she had been
thrown by the gale and tidal wave.
The crew and passenger list of
the Nicholas Castania shows no
names of women, but among the per-
sonal effects which showed the wear
and tear of use were number of
feminine articles of wearing apparel
and children's shoes.

DISPUTE TAKES new TURN
PEARY's CABIN BOY MAKES IN.
TEREsTING ADMISSION.
Confronted with Wireless Message
confesses DR.. Cook Told Him Ho
Had Reached the Pole.

A dispatch from Battle Harbor,
Labrador, says one OF the men on the
steamer Roosevelt at least knew long
ago that Dr.. Frederick A. Cook had
claimed to have reached the pole.
He Is VIM. Pritchard, cabin boy and
assistant cook on the Roosevelt, who
remained at Annatook with Boat
swain Murphy to guard the stores.
Pritchard had not spoken to anyone
on board OF. Dr.. Cooks. achievement,
but when confronted few days ago,
just prior to the sailing of the Roose-
yelt from Battle Harbor, with a
wireless message from midocean that
DR.. Cook said that Pritchard knew
the whole story of his dash for the
pole, the youth admitted that he had
learned from DR.. Cook the details
of the final march, and that DR..
Cook had explained to him the route
followed.
Whether Boatswain Murphy also
was informed of DR.. Cooks success,
Pritchard did not know, but unques-
tionably Harry Whitney, who was
at the store house when DR.. Cook
returned from his dash with the
two Eskimos, is conversant with all
the facts. Whitney did not disclose
this interesting piece of news to Com
mander Peary, and Pritchard kept it
from Peary during the entire voy-
age of the Roosevelt to Battle Har-
Dor.
Pritchard said that he was at the
house as Annatook with Whitney
and Cook, while Murphy was at Etah.
He heard Dr. Cook describe to the
New Haven sportsman how he went
to the pole and remained there two
days. He could not remember wheth-
er DR.. Cook said he remained there
April 21 and %, or whether it was
April % and %. DR.. Cook used
map to illustrate the route fol-
lowed.
Asked why he had not repeated
this on board the Roosevelt, Pritch-
ard said that DR.. Cook had told him
to say nothing about his having been
at the pole until the Roosevelt reach
ed civilization.
