count Of his work there: ~.-,-

During the last session of the legiS-
lature an appropriation was made &c

policy along this line at I'LL penal and

especially when you have something
to feed it, it is a wonderful plant in
what it will do if properly attended

dairy department and others on the

Naturally, with the number of boys
we have, we have occasionally a little

a half hour after dinner and one hour
after supper. During the summer
months, it is altogether taken up in

ity, for he seemed the best man at
hand for them. y.
At first an hour or two Of keeping
the mems time, the stock taking OF
some of the materials, or perhaps a
commission downtown to purchase
things that required inspection and
could not be ordered by messenger or
telephone; then, after a year or So, he
began to be left in temporary charge
during the enforced absence Of both
foreman and boss. &%.A al,
And by Z thataAtiH1o Pennington's
hands were as firm and hard as the
average workingman's, and his thin
face and narrow shoulders were filling
out with good, solid flesh. d p.
At the end of three years the fore
man started out as an independent
contractor and the boss took his place.
Pennington would have then become
boss, but the new contractor asked
him to go with him as foreman, and
Pennington, with an odd feeling OF
exultation and wonder, consented.
All this time the Pennington agent
had heard nothing, and an expression
of speculative concern was beginning
to appear in his face.
OF course Pennington must be dead,
for he was a mar who required q
great deal of money, and being In Eu'
rope, made the money more impera'
tive. The agent was in half mind to
communicate with the nearest rcla'
tive, but hesitated and concluded to
wait a little longer.
A small portion Of Esther Kilton's
property consisted Of downtown tene.
ments. In the last few years she had
become infected with the reform
movement, and was remodeling them
with more regard for the inmates vel.
fare than her rent roll.
Several blocks had already been re-
built and occupied, and recently to
hasten the work she had given a block
to a new contractor. When the old
buildings were demolished and the
new walls were up a dozen or more
feet she went down to look at the
work.
Poised on the very end of a timber
almost above her was an alert, com
pactly built man, who seemed to be
directing the work.
Something about him drew her gaze
back again and again; yet even while
her eyes kindled they filled mistily.
He was so like and yet so unlike; so
what the other might have been, and
was not.
Presently the mar sprang lightly
across to another timber seven or
eight feet away, explained something
about the work to a new man, then
crouched and dropped to the ground
u feet below.
AS he turned he stood facing the
owner, and they gazed for some mo-
ments into each others eyes. He had
been so absorbed in the work that he
had not noticed her presence.
Esther he cried.
Ralph Pennington" wonderingly.
81 thought you were in Europe"
No; l have been here all the time"
I'm work like this"
He nodded. -f, ...
She looked at him with the color
rising warmer in her face; in her eyes
was inquiry, then comprehension, Joy,
%exultation.
Ralph" she said softly, after a
long silence, ill you come up this
evening ard-and tell me about it,"
There was a smile in Penning-
toms eyes, though his face remained
grave.
Yes. Esther" he answered, Il will
come up and-and ask you about It.
I I'M now in the trades"

 'We believe that every town In the whole of Alaska will heartily join m the movement inaugurated In Juneau a few nights ago and adopted by Skag- way last night and that even in the remote aud Inaccessible districts where 1t is utterly out of the question he should visit at that time even though he accepted the invitation of the towns on the southern coast the glad hand of welcome will be extended to him across the impossible barriers of glacial creyasse. gnow-clad mountain range and over the broad bosom of the Pacific into that land of almost perennial sunshine where the Golden Gate will be thrown wide to Che na. tons of the earth to oexhibit to the ad. miradon and poudits of mankind all that Is best most useful and most beautiful in arts and science as well as in commercial and industrial pur suits"

ALASKAN ROADS COSTLY.
High Wages Paid for Labor Enhance
Construction Costs,

According to Col. w. P. Richardson.
L. S. A., president of the board of road
commissioners for Alaska, the con-
struction and maintenance Of roads in
that northern territory cost twice as
much as similar work in the United
States proper The greater cost Is at
tributed to the higher wage of labor in
Alaska. 1t is stated that the scale of
wages varies in different sections from
$3.50 to IS a day for common labor, the
salaries of other employees being corre-
sponding1y higher.
During the ten years the board OF
road commissioners has been in exist
ence there have been constructed and
maintained 901.8 miles Of wagon road,
5775 miles of winter sled road and
22165 miles of trail. In that work the
sum of $3,0S9.41 has been expended.
OF that amount S1,600.000 was appro-
priated by Congress and $1.4S9.414 came
from taxes on liquor licenses and other
taxes accruing for road work in the
Alaska fund. thus making the amounts
received from federal and territorial
sources practically equal. Though the
roads were not constructed as ''automo-
bile roads," some of them are used by
more than 100 trucks and passenger
cars. The report says that the develop
ment of that class of traffic is destined
to have a most important bearing on
the transportation problems of the ter
ritory. Attention again is invited to
the need of an extension of the road
system and to the value of wagon roads
particularly as adjuncts to railroad
construction and the general develop
ment Of the country.

editor has wondered all this time where
his Washington letter for that week
went. There is no name signed to the
dispatch" but on the back. in pencil.
is something that looks like Chase.
Rays correspondence
Here IS the wording of the letter: .
since my last nothing unusual has
occurred to disturb the eouanimity OF
the public mind in the capital. A few.
little incidents of small moment have.
broken the usual tranquility of daily
routine life. A negro has been hanged
for shooting a policeman and Miss.
| Cleveland has returned to Washington.
A Miss Garfield, who's mother is a,
niece Of Mrs. ex-President Lincoln. ha
shot herself through near the heart
I and will probably die ;
But the great theme of discuss;on
Just now is the impurity of the drink =
ing water furnished the people of ths-
| city by the public water works 1t may
not pe universally known to you gen -
Tie readers. that this city is supplied
with water from the Potomac through
| a huge aqueduct twelve miles long. The
water OF the canal which extends right
along the river bank is. like that Of
| every canal much used. very filthy. and
| all the great daily papers of the city
| are howling frantically over the un-
| saFory leakage of canal water into the
| POTOMAC. just above the mouth of the
| aqueduct. The triumrirs. the Commits
sioners, sent one of their number to
| investigate and report what was and
is the real condition of things at the
| source OF the city's, drink. They report :
ed no cause of alarm.-that the water
was not much polluted, Whereupon the
city papers all join in one grand
| chorus against the Commi ssioners, and
every chemist is endeavoring to gain a
| little notoriety by bringing forward an
analysis of the waters
None of them give analysis showing
| any very serious danger. but all agree
ina. the matter needs careful attention.
The principal function of the new
| administration thus far has been TO
turn the rascals out" Just now thera
Is fierce hunt for the rascally and
! derelict postmasters. The hungr,,
| democratic hounds are on their tracks;
and wherever a lame or halting republ
| lican postmaster is found, he is hurried
| forward to the administration guillo-
tine and decapitated in the twinkling
| of lambs tail,
The printed lists show that the hunt
is going on in every state, but in none
! so savagely as in Virginia.
| The business interests of the city
are flourishing, the streets are full of
busy people and trade is still good
