Evil Eye Based on Fact.

Most people have heard of the Evil
Eye" and cow we are informed by
Charles L. Smith. a noted New York
refracticnist. that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know
ing it. has enc eye that is different in
power and activity from the other. He
designates II the dominant eye" and
according to whether it is the left
or the right children will grow up left
handed or righu-hanGed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-
cry, to force 4 child to become am
bidextrous. Such a course may result
in wrecking the nervous system, and
can only be cured by a reversal of the
process so that the dominant eye
may regain natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the ''evil eye"

he remember that last night he had
seen her. He had thought nothing OF
it at the time: but, looking back, he
was haunted by every little thing that
had happened. In the light of the
tragic event, he could understand
everything-her quietness, that calm
gertrude as If all vexing questions OF
living had been smoothed out and
were gone. and that certain ethereal
sweetness about all that she had said
and done that had been almost mater
nal. He remembered the way she had
looked at him, how she had laughed
when he narrated Mickey Dolan's mis-
take in stalking the fraction on Shook
UNI Gulch. Her laughter had been
lightly joyous, while at the same time
1t had lacked its old-time robustness.
Not that she had been grave or sub
dued. On the contrary, she had been
so patiently content, so filed with
peace. She had fooled him, fool that
he was. He had even thought that
night that her feeling for him had
passed, and he had taken delight in
satisfying future friendship that would
be theirs with this perturbing love
out of the way.
And then, when he stood at the
door, cap in hand, and said good night.
It had struck him at the time as a
funny and embarrassing thing, her
bending over his hand and kissing it.
He had felt like fool, but he shivered

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

Back In Dawson. though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
hard as ever in his life. He had a
thousand irons In the fire, and they
kept him busy Heavy as were his
axperses, he won more heavily. He
nook lays, bought half shares, shared
with the men he grub-staked, and made
DefSCnal locations. Day and night his
dogs were ready. and he owned the
fastest teams; so that when STAN
Dede to new discovery was on. 1t was
Burning Daylight to the fore through
the longest. coolest nights till he
blazed his stakes next to Discovery.
IN one way or another Ito say nothing
of the many worthless creeks) he
came into possession of properties on
the good creeks, such as Sulphur, Do
minion, Excelsis, Siwash, Cristo, Al
hambra and Doolittle. The thousands
he poured out flowed back in tens OF
thousands.
Dawson grew rapidly that winter OF
1896. Money poured in on Daylight
from the sale of town lots. He prompt
~ invested it where it would gather
more In fact. he played the danger
Gus game of pyramiding, and no more
Derilous pyramiding than IN placer
camp could be imagined But he
played with his eyes wide open.
Corner lots in desirable locations
sold that winter for from ten to thirty
Thousand dollars. Daylight sent word
out over the trails and passes for the
newcomers to bring down log-rafts.
and, as result, the summer of 1897
saw his saw mills working day and
night, on three shifts, and still he had
logs left over with which to build
cabins. These cabins, land included,
sold at from one to several thousand
dollars. Two-story log buildings, in
the business part of town, brought him
from forty to fifty thousand dollars
apiece. These fresh accretions of cap
1tal were Immediately invested in 9TH
er ventures. He turned gold over and
over. until everything that he touched
seemed to turn to gold.
With the summer rush from the Out
side came special correspondents for
the big newspapers and magazines,
and one and all, using unlimited space.
they wrote Daylight up; SO that. SO far
rs the world was concerned, Daylight
doomed the largest figure in Alaska. OF
course, after several months, the
world became interested in the Span
ssh War, and forgot all about him; but
IN the klondike itself Daylight still re-
NAMED the most prominent figure.

If a Woman Had Done It.

Trust the suffragettes to make capt.
tai out of the merest indiscretion of
mere man! The following is an ex-
ample, taken from one of their publ
cations, the Newsletter, for January:
"a lovely little press item floating
up from Chatham Courthouse. Va,
made the editor laugh and laugh. 1t
said that juror sneaked out of the
jury room while the rest Of the jurors
were asleep, and went and MIXED his
COW. He laid out to get back before
the others walked up. but somebody
saw him and told on him, and the
trial had to begin all over. If WON
an juror should do that out in Wash
ington or Idaho, wouldn't it be a
proof of the incapacity of the sex for
the duties of citizenship"

Real Womar-Hater.

A will of a confirmed woman-hater,
writes Virgil M. Harris in Ancient
Curios and Famous Wills" is that of
rich old bachelor who had endured
much from attempts made by his
family to put him under the yoke of
matrimony, and who wrote: Il beg
that my executors will see that l am
buried where there is no woman In
tered, either to the right or to the
left of me. Should this not be prac-
ticable in the ordinary course of
things. l direct that they purchase
three graves, and bury me in the mid
die one Of the three, leaving the two
others unoccupied"

great world of which he had heard
other men talk and of which he was
as ignorant as a child. There were
games out there to play. 1t was a
larger table, and there was no reason
why he with his millions should not
sit in and take a hand. So 1t was,
that afternoon on Skookum Hill. that
he resolved to play this last best Klon-
dixie hand and pull for the Outside. 1t
took time, however. He put trusted
agents to work on the heels Of great
experts, and on the creeks where they
began to buy he likewise bought.

And more and more the taste for the
larger game urged in Daylights mouth.

sibly the severest struggle was waged
on Ophir, the veriest of moose-pas-

able only because Of its vastness. The

now when he looked back on it and
felt again the touch Of her lips on his
hand. She was saying good-by, an
eternal good-by, and he had never
guessed. At that very moment. and
for all the moments of the evening,
coolly and deliberately. as he well
knew her way, she had been resolved
to die. If he had oaly known it! I'm

had fastened upon her. and she had
been doomed from the first to perish

Hill and Shookum Hill, caught a wild
er vision Of things. Beneath him lay
the richest part of Eldorado Creek,
while up and down Bonanza he could
see for miles. It was a scene OF a
vast devastation. The hills, to their
tops. had been shorn of trees, and
their naked sides showed signs OF gor-

There was the very chance for another

ings. They were content to let the
small mine-owners gopher out what
they could, for there would be mil
lions in the leavings.
And, gazing down on the smoky in

the new game he would play. game
