MARSTO\, blue-eyed little man in soft, struggling
~ brown whiskers and thin, greasy drill had gone in
white and red at the term "wife deserter and sat
nervously lingering his pitiful pile of dirty up-river
bills staring hard at the word yukon" printed
the face of each. Yukon! That way lay the trail, two
thousand frozen, drfted miles of it, stretching from
Coppertops just below the Circle to the open North
Pacific under the south wall, and beyond that thou
sand miles of sea, and beyond that more appalling
stretches the pretty Eastern village that oated
in between his eyes and the rough board table.
On of the clean streets of the village the center
of garden stood white cottage which Nlarston had
mortgaged to raise the money for his than mad
Alaska venture. He did not know what had become
of the brown-eyed little woman and the baby girl he
had left there and he had almost ceased to carehe

ment the beach at Nome, when he found that he
could not redeem his promise with fortune
on the next ship. Shame and CONSERVATION silenced
him at first. Then he plunged desperately with his
small remaining capital, and found day that he
lost.
Something in Marston's head had snapped that day
in the fall when they dragged him out of the anchor
chain box the old Garonne the last ship to leave for
the States, and sent him ashore. His eyes and brain
had never quite cleared the roll of black smoke that
traed away into the nothingness of Boring Sea when
he scrambled off the wave-swept lighter and up the
frozen single of the beach.

was cold hard work, and Marston lily prepared for
it. He interested in its progress; his abors
were purely mechanical. They were helping him to
forget and he was escaping many hours of old Cop
pertops torment. The jibes and sarcasms of the
sona wise prospector who happened along were
nothing He was not looking for gold he was looking
for peace He had learned first that gold is where you
find it. but after years of bitter disappointment he
had accept the amendment that gold is where
you can't find it. Until Marston down dozen
feet he did take the trouble to PAM it all the
dead gray gravel of hopelessness, and might well
have been so much black muck, for all he cared
THEM one night when it had been storrnng hard for
two days and Marston had decided to abandon the
shaft, something moved him to take pan from the
bottom In the halfight the stuff looked rusty, and
there were traces of black and ruby sand The pan of
dirt was frozen when Marston reached the roadhouse
and no one gave it than cursory glance. They
all agreed with sly winks, that it looked like godbear
ing stuff and they heartlessly followed with round of
encouraging remarks. If Marston suspected that he
was being chafed, he gave sign, and sometime after
supper brought in half-barrel tub and prepared to
wash out the pan of gravel
The third night of the first great blizzard of the win
ter had settled down the delta of the Kuzedemapa

curry thermometer had ceased recording early in the
afternoon In the stormshed the maamues were

all brought appetites. None had been turned away;
for Coppertop followed the @pay bedrock" plan.
As but little bedrock had been uncovered. Copperop
was exactly walowing in wealth. There little
dust and scarcely enough currency keep the poker
game going but there plenty of GRUB and despite
his pessmism, Coppertop did like to eat They
had come with the four winds.
Coppertop himself had mushed down the river from
Dawson. He had named dozen claims "Homestake
and each had sunk his feet deeper into the tundra
muck of the North The mean roadhouse was his last
desperate stand.

had staked and sent him North. He had been out
of Fortymile and Rampant for jumping claims and did
not mind CoppertopS nSnuations
Sanford was known to have been with Soapy Smiths
gang the Skagway trail, and rather glored in being
called crook. He usually got Moosepasure's money
and enough of Coppertops to make silence worth
while.
Pretty nearly everything that Coppertop said in his
TRADES fitted the Commissioner; who, being lawyer
and fond OF argument sometimes asked for particulars
and he got them Old Coppertop had wicked tongue,

short of conclusions leaving Coppertop usually victo
rious, and, after each triumph little louder, little
sweeping in his condemnation little bitter
against the moral derelcts the Forgette In the deep
night the Commissioner had heard Coppertop grind his
teeth.

Second Class. and other resorts
God-sent to the scores of stranded
men that first winter after the big
rush.-boosting for the gamblers
for an occasional meal, sleeping on
the floor when the crowds cleared
out, existing-just existing!
Spring! The believing, humanity
laden ships back in the roadstead,
Mail-but nothing for Marston
Then the excitement in the Arc
tic-the chance to 60 to Kotzeoue.
Marston away with something like
a resolution never to 60 back with
out the fortune that had already
cost him SO dearly!
Again disappointment Strug
CLING back across country afoot he
had come, exhausted and broke, to
Coppertop's. 1t was late in the
fall. That day at Nome. more than
a hundred miles away, the last boat
was leaving for the States; and
again there was nothing from the
man in the North for those in the
cottage.
The resignation of the damned
had come to Marston then, and
he had let go every hold. There
was oblivion in the deadly stuff
that Coppertop put over his bar.
and betimes Marston had become
the @sourdough rummy' and knew
himself for the thing that Copper
top always included in his category
of the accursed-a wife deserter.
But now this fiend with a scourge
tongue would not let Marston for
get what he was. Coppertop some
times forgot to mention claim
jumpers, card sharks, and thieves.
on which occasions there were al
ways relieved looks in the road
house; but the wife deserter seemed
to be his pet aversion, and he never
allowed the subject more than
few hours rest. Every night he
held forth on the general cussed-
ness of the men of Alaska. The
Commissioner was becoming sullen
and dangerous.
Then Coppertop shut off Mar
ston's whisky.
MORE to get away from Cop
~ pertop's merciless fire than
with the idea or hope of finding
anything, Marston staked a claim
over a big gravel bluff short dis
lance below the roadhouse and
spent most of the days there thaw-
ing a hole into the eternal frost at
the foot of a high bank. A leanto
of brush and blocks of snow gave
him shelter, and there, in sizzling
fire of green willows, laboriously
mined from the deep snow on the
fiat, he heated rocks for the thaw-
ing process. Each heating of the
rocks lowered the shaft a few
xl~ t.

ioud racket emenating from the jail.
and went back to investigate. Whea
they peered through the iron bars of
the Jail door they saw the negro
crouching behind one of the cells,
cursing and yelling that some one
was trying to kill him. AS soon as
he saw the officers he began throw
ing everything he could get his
hands on at them All the coaxing
and pleading was of no avail, the
negro, whom the officers realized
had become violently insane kept UP
i fusillade OF missiles smashing the
windows and the skylight and tear
ing up things in general.
Chief Egan telephoned for the
fremen of No station. They came
and turned strong stream of water
upon the negro, but this put him in
even worse condition He climbed
like monkey up TO the top OF the
cages and pushed his way through

Points to Thrift.

Indicative Of the thrift of the peo-
pie Of Hickman and vicinity, DR.. Nc
Cormack pointed to the fact that
| April 13 total of 1888 persons were
being supplied with food from the
commissary department. In a week
time the number had been reduced to
2,026, the others having succeeded
in making provision for themselves.
For a while the daily expense at
tached to feeding the flood-sufferers
was $500, but this has now been cut
to one-half. The women OF Hick-
man and vicinity, DIR. Mccormack
said, are doing splendid relief work.
In the opinion Of DR.. Mccormack,
the Rev. Fl. J. Geiger, Methodist
minister Of Hickman, is entitled to a
Carnegie medal.
"He has worked harder to relieve
those in distress than any one else"
DR.. Mccormack said. when the
levee broke, permitting the water to
pour in upon Hickman, the Rev. Mr..
Geiger walked in water up to his
shoulders, carrying women and chill
dren to places of safety. In one in
stance he waded in water up to his
chin, carrying woman and her one
day-old child uplifted in his arms.
Too much cannot be said Of his
heroic work"

HARVESTER CHARGES

Oyster Bay, N Y, April rs
The talk about the suspension of

Roosevelt, tonight, in a statement
setting forth his connection with the

lolonel asserted that at meeting
with his cabinet, at which Mr.. Taft
was present, 1t was decided that the
Bureau of Corporations be instructed
70 complete its investigation of the
Harvester Co., before any suit was
instituted, following the usual
course Of procedure in such cases.
And Mr.. Taft, he added, concurred
m this decision. During the remain
Ter of his administration, a period Of
year and a half, Col. Roosevelt
said the commission OF corporations
was unable to complete his investi-
CATION.
He said that in the three years
Of the present administration, Mr..
Taft at any time could have ordered
the attorney general to bring suit
against the Harvester Co., or could
have requested Commissioner of Cor
porations to hasten his investigation,
but that President Taft had taken no
action except that now taken five

willie yesterday from Hickman, whore
he went to look into health condi-
tions incident to the food He said
he was highly pleased with the work
that is being accomplished in the
stricken district, and felt safe in
leaving the matter of health in the
hands OF those on the ground
The Fulton County Board of
Health met yesterday, he said. for
the purpose OF perfecting plans for
the disposal OF careasses of cattle,
hogs and sheep, strewn over the high
ground where they died of starva-
ton. many OF them, during the
food. 1t was practically agreed be-
fore the meeting of the board. he
said, to bury the carcasses rather
than burn them, the latter plan not
being looked upon as feasible.
The city authorities of Hickman
have ordered oil TO spread over the
surface of ponds to prevent the
breeding OF mosquitoes, and car
load of lime TO be used in white
washing. Recently the City Council
passed an ordinance requiring the
