crowd fell back. They heard the eager
whining of dogs. the snap of dog
whip and the voice of Daylight crying
encouragement as the weary animals
capped all they had done by dragging
the sled in over the wooden floor
They came in with rush, and with
them rushed in the frost, visible
vapor of smoking white, through
as they strained in the harness. till
they had all the seeming of swimming
in river. Behind them, at the gee
pole, came Daylight. hidden to the
knees by the swirling frost through
which he appeared to wade, He was
the same old Daylight, withal lean
and tired-looking and his black eyes
were sparkling and flashing brighter
than ever. His parka Of cotton drill

straight lines to his knees. Grlmed

A man who was caught in the act
of skinning a neighbours sheep, COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live.
The logic of this is equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once had a
narrow escape from an enraged gan

ment, which was In the enemys coun:

for hardship One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear of farm
house near by, closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued a
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the cries
o. the gander's owner: Hold on,
man, hold on! He won't hurt yOu!"
Call off your gander! Call him Off"
shouted the fleeing soldier Neither
man nor gander stopped until inside

friends relieved him of his fierce pur-
suer with the aid of the butt of a
musket. did that gander think he

the soldier exclaimed, as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said

line attached, which might have

siona, added a few pounds OF letters
to their load and held steadily on,
From Forty Mile they had unbroken
trail, and they could look for
ward only to unbroken trail
clear to Dyea. Daylight stood
1t magnifcently. but the killing
pace was beginning to tell on Kama.
His pride kept his mouth shut, but
the result OF the chilling of his lungs
in the cold snap could not be con-
cealed They travelled till ten o'clock
the night they reached Selkirk, and at
six next morning they plunged ahead
into the next stretch of wilderness of
nearly five hundred miles that lay be-
tween Salkirk and Dyea. There was
no te,.ap in his pace. Twelve hours
a tsay, six IN the twilight and six in
tho .slrk they toiled on the trail.

This time the trail was easier J,
was better packed, and they were not
carrying mail against time. At Forty
Mile they laid over two days for the
sake of the dogs, and at Sixty Mile
Daylights team was left with the
trader. Unlike Daylight. after the
terrible run from Selkirk to Circle
City, they had been unable to recup'
crate on the back trail So the four
men pulled on from Sixty Mile with
fresh team OF dogs on Daylights
sled. The following night they
camped in the cluster of islands at
the mouth Of the Stewart. Daylight
talked town sites, and, though the
others laughed at him, he staked the
whole maze of high. wooded island
Just supposing the big strike does

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and rum making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things. and
doctors, too. l think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson.

cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a
sample of each, with 32-page book,

all rights Daylight should have camped
below the last pitch of the pass at the
dim end of day; but he kept on and
over and down to Sheep Camp. while
behind him ragged a snow storm that
would have delayed him twenty-four

were on their last lap; and he raced

Kama said "Savvee. Daylight? You

Daylight grinned.
Kama shook his head doubtfully.
and rolled over on his side, turning
his back in token of farewell.
A crowd filled the Tivoli-the old
crowd that had seen Daylight depart
two months before; for this was the
night of the sixtieth day, and opinion
was divided as ever as to whether or
not he would compass the achieve
