along steadily to the house. il he is
a stranger to the home folks. and has
an air about him of importance and
that he is desirable, he says deliberate
ly: "If you have q desire to inquire
who am, l will furnish you with the
names OF the best people in the town
or community where ] have passed
my years"
He hardly thinks the good worthy
folks, as he has found them, will take
the trouble to search out his connec-
tions and habits, knowing how much
their dear girl thinks of him, as all
Of her friends dc.
This bluff having been given, they
get on tolerably well in their oddly
matched romance, assisted by the ap-
plause OF their young admiring chums.
They like each other, and have every
confidence that their love affair is to
be smooth and all that it should be.
II they frequently have slight quarrels.
and 1t is slyly whispered that the
young man is under the influence OF
the wine cup midnights, is gay rev.
eier of sports and often falls behind in
paying his bills, those who are nearest
to their loved girl begin to lose con.
fdence In what he ia and 1t is talked
over. that they should break OF the
match before It goes farther.
Too often the girls are willfui and
bemoan the fact that there should be
Interference between them. That 1t
is only hearsay, and they are confident
that he is good lover much sinned
against. Older, experienced relatives
regret causing disturbance, realizing.
that often, the more that is said
against one who is said to be unworthy
the more determined the girl becomes
to defend him and not forsake him.
Not until later does the truth come
forcibly home to them that their in.
terested home folks are ever ready to
give honor to whom honor is due.
Even some OF them are willing to
meet him half way In reconciliation.
II there is determined opposition.
1t is lastly. because 1t impresses them
beyond a doubt that 1t is match
wholly untitled to be made or sane
toned. While she has q good, happy
disposition, his turns out to be
brusque, quick.tempered and given to
moods, to which a wife would find It
very unpleasant to yield.
Thus 1t happens that girl may be
considered attractive and be highly re-
garded by a score Of young men, whom
she has known long time, and yet
she may fail to win the confidence or
20 influence worthily the one man
whom she believes she cares most OF
all for. Often her choice falls on the
last person in the world who one
would think would attract her. But
she has the tenderest OF sympathy. the
outstretched hands Of all who love
her, when her eyes are opened to the
truth that her confidence is shattered
beyond reparation.

to Skagway, which he terms the gate.
way to the Yukon, and describes as
"a wretched little town with decayed
wooden houses and grass-grown
streets, the scene Of many robberies,
riots and murders at the time OF the
gold rush, which the police authorities
had neither the power nor energy to
control. Skagway is not, and can
never be. of much use to the United
States except as an obstruction to
Canadian progress, but might be OF
some advantage to the vast Canadian
hinterland less than twenty miles In
land"
Skagway is surrounded on three
sides by q plateau of steep and rug
ged mountains through which two
trails lead to the north over the White
Horse and the Chilcoot passes. up
whose wild and difficult ravines thou
sands of fortune-seekers trekked and
struggled with their heavy packs.

expected Ell Dorado over five hundred
miles away. Soon after the gold was
found in quantities mountain rail-
road was built up the White pass
from Skagway to the summit and on
to Lake Bennett. a distance of 40
miles, traversIng wild and iceworn
plateau of gigantic proportions,
strewn with moraines, sprinkled over
with lakes and inclosed by snowy
peaks 5000 to 5000 feet in height.
At the head of Lake Bennett lies the
deserted town of Bennett, where, at
the time of the gold rush, there were
lodged some five thousand people in
houses, huts and tents. The only
building now standing beside the rail-
road station is a wooden Presbyterian
church-which shows that at least
few righteous men were among that
sordid crowd It was here that the
first prospectors and miners got into
boats and canoes and navigated their
frail craft through lakes and rapids
for the remaining 531 miles Of their
venturesome journey to Dawson City.
The last stretch Of the railroad from
Skagway runs along Lake Bennett to
White Horse, few miles above Lake
Laberge. where safe navigation down
the Lewes river to Dawson begins.
Dawson City the Center.
Although the great ice fields Of the
early ages swept the greater portion
of North America they missed the re.
zion of the Klondike, and consequent
ly the gold-producing deposits re-
mained intact until the early prospec-
tors discovered them. The Yukon

little control some young girls are in

cried Jimmy, his lips white.

"Thank God, whispered Vikings.
The Doctor was evidently holding
on to himself with an effort.
"But we must go over there and find
out about things for ourselves" he said
quietly, and he looked at Vikings first.
"Will you Gomez"
Surely"
"And you, Bishop"
NO. The Judge refused absolutely,

his stout person with any actual fear.

to see that he was very much excited

For moment he halted. And the
Doctor asked another question::
