the little nightly duties, to the putting
away OF her clothing. Then. in a per-

sat down to take herself seriously in
hand.
There was a knock at the door and.
on invitation, the tall and stately Mrs.
Helen Davies came in, frilled and ruff
fed for the night. She found the
dainty. little guest boudoir in green
tinted dimness. Gail had turned down
all the lights in the room except the
green lamps under the canopy, and
she sat on the divan, with her brown
hair ripping about her shoulders, her
knees clasped in her arms, and her
dainty little boudoir slippers peeping
from her flowing pink negligee, while

ent reflections, only enhanced the clear
pink Of her complexion. Mrs. Davies
moved over to the other side of Gail,
where she could surround her, and laid
the brown head on her shoulder.
Gail, whose quick intelligence no
movement escaped, lay comfortably on
Aunt Helen's shoulder, and a clear
laugh rippled out. She could not see
the smile of satisfaction and relief
with which Aunt Helen Davies re-
ceived that laugh.
my DEAR" l am quite well pleased
with you" she said. "You have a bril-
liant future before you."
Calls eyelids closed; the long,
brown lashes curved down on her
cheeks, revealing just a sparkle of
brightness, while the mischievous
little smile twitched at the corners of
her lips.

CHAPTER vi.
Had They Spoiled Her?

Music resounded in the parlors of
Jim Sargent's house; music so sweet
and compelling in its harmony that
Aunt Grace slipped to the head of the
stairs to listen in mingled ecstasy and
pride. Up through the hallway floated
a clear, mellow soprano and q rich,
deep baritone, blended SO perfectly
that they seemed twin tones. Aunt
Grace, drawn by a fascination she
could not resist, crept down to where
she could see the source Of the mel
ody. Gail, exceptionally pretty to-
night in her simple d~ove-coIored gown
with its one pink rose, sat at the
piano, while towering above her, with
his chest expanded and a look of per-
feet peace on his face, stood Rev.
Smith Boyd.
Enraptured, Aunt Grace stood and
listened until the close of the ballad.
Leaf1ng through her music for the next
treat, Gail looked up at the young doc
tor, and made some smiling remark.
Her shining brown hair, waving about
her forehead, was caught up in a
simple knot at the back, and the deli
cate color of her cheeks was like the
fresh glow of dawn. Rev. Smith Boyd
bent slightly to answer, and he, too,
smiled as he spoke; but as he hap
pened to find himself gazing deep into
the brown eyes of Gail, the smile be-
gan to fade, and Aunt Grace Sargent,
scared, ran back up the stairs and into
her own room, where she took a book,
and held it in her lap, upside down.
The remark which Gail had made was
this:
"You should have used your voice
professionally"
The reply Of the rector was:
Il do"
Il didn't mean oratorically," she
laughed, then returned n~ervously to
her search for the next selection. She
had seen that change in the smile. 1T

He allowed himself four hours for
sleep that night, and the next after
noon headed for Denver. On the way
he studied maps again, but the one to
which he paid most attention was a
new n drawn by himself, on which
the various ranges of the Rocky Noun

lead-penciled spirals. Right where his
thin line crossed these spirals at a
converging point, was Yando chasm,

the proud possession Of the Inland Pa

JUNEAU GOLD MINES

1t is interesting to draw attention
to the beginning of the new gold
production at Juneau, Alaska. The
whole Unied States has in recent
years been producing about $780,
100000 of gold per annum A big
proportion of this has been derived
from the smelling of copper and
lead ores, much of which yields a
little gold per ton of ore, but a great
deal in the aggregate. Of gold ores
pure and simple the United States
mines about 100000 tons per an
mum. The three companies that are
developing the great lode at Juneau
contemplate the mining and milling
of about IL, 100000 per tannum.
which is expected TO yield about
SIS, 900 in gold. Thus from this
single group of mines will be ex-
tracted more tons of ore than come
from all of the gold mines of the
United States at present, and they
will make an output equivalent to
20 per cent of the entire present pro-
duction of gold in the United States.
1t may be five years before this pro-
gram is realized but the stamps of
the first 15O0-ton unit of the 5000
ton mill of the Alaska Gold company
began dropping on February IL
