CHAPTER XIV.

Even if we hadn't known, we'd have
guessed there was something in the
air. There was an air of subdued ex-
springhouse, and good bit of whis-
pering and laughing, in groups which
would break UP with faces as long as

my eye on them.
They were planning mutiny, as
you may say, and [ guess no sailors

smart enough to see that most of them,
having bullied other people all their
lives, liked the novelty of being bullied
themselves. And now they were get
ting new thrill by having revolt.
They were terribly worked up.
Miss Patty stayed after the others
had gone, sitting in front of the empty
fireplace in the same chair Mr.. Pierce
usually took, and keeping her back to
me. When I'd finished folding the
steamer rugs and putting them away, l
went around and stood in front of her.

"Do you know what they are saying

to her and stopped suddenly about tive

DAWSON, Y. T., April 16.-The White Pass & Yukon railroad, hay ing purchased the Northern Com merical company, the effect is begin ming to be felt in this city, where prices have jumped skyward so that the corporation may recuperate for the losses of the past season, when freight was carried at a. loss and merchandise sold below cost.
 The price of all foods in storage in this city have been jumped 25 per cent above the winter price of the past three years. The White Pass storehouse and store is closed and the Northern Commercial com pany only is doing business. Pota-- toes, are now selling at 12 cents a pound. Hay and grain has taken a jump of 25 per cent and hay now sells for $8O ton. whereas previous to the consolidation it was on the mar ket at $6O.
 Several independent merchants will operate boats from St. Michael this coming summer, as they fear because of the consolidation that the trans portation companies will not bring freight for independents, but will de lay it and hold it back at lower river points.
 The local Chamber of Commerce will demand a government investiga- tion into the methods of the trans portation and mercantile trust of the White Pass < Yukon railroad.
