They Saved His Life.

Does it pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-
florists on the South side believe 1t
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave it twist and
came within an ace Of hitting an old
man at crossing. The victim was
so shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an in
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad, but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So

CHAPTER VI.

It was held by the thousands OF
bero-worshipping chechaqubs that Day
light was a man absolutely without
fear But BEETLES and Dan Macdonald
and other sourdoughs shook their
heads and laughed as they mentioned
women. And they were right. He had
always been afraid OF them from the
time, himself a lad of seventeen, when
Queen Anne, of juneau. made open
ard ridiculous love to him. For that
matter, ne never had known women.
Born in a mining-camp where they
were rare and mysterious, having no
sisters, his mother dying while he was
an infant. he had never been in con-

But it was left to the Virgin to give
him his final fright. She was found
one morning dead in her cabin. A
shot through the head had done it,
and she had LETT no message, no ex-

a sewing machine and made men S

into the First Yukon Bank. All this
and more, was known and told, though
one and all were agreed that Day
light, while the cause, had been the
innocent cause of her untimely end.
And the worst OF 1t was that Day

mantle OF snow could not hide. Be.
meath him, in every direction, were
the cabins OF men. But not many
men were visible. A blanket OF smoke
filed the valleys and turned the gray
day to melancholy twilight. Smoke
arose from a thousand holes In the
snow, where, deep down on bedrock,
in the frozen muck and gravel, men
crept and scratched and dug, and ever
built more fires to break the grip OF
the frost.
Organization was what was needed,
he decided: aud his quick imagination
sketched Eldorado Creek, from mouth
to source, and from mountain top to
mountain top, in the hands OF one ca
pable management. Even steam-thaW-
ing, as yet untried, but bound to come,
he saw would be makeshift. What
should be done was to hydraulic the
valley sides and benches, and then, on
the creek bottom, to use gold-dredges.
There was the very chance for another
big killing. He had wondered just
what was precisely the reason for the
GuggenhammerS and the big EngllSn
concerns sending in their high-salaried
experts That was their scheme. That
was why they had approached him for
the sale of worked-out claims and tail
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
ferno OF crude effort, Daylight outlined
the new game he would play, game
in which the Guggenhammers and the
rest would have to reckon with him.
But along with the delight in the new
conception came WEAKNESS. He was
tired Of the long Arctic years, and he
was curious about the Outside-the

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

that afternoon On Skookum Hill, that
he resolved to play this last best Klon-

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there Is probably
no professional man subjected to
greater, more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor of a
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
UP to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset tho
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
