"Where do the mounted police come from?"
 "A large portion of them are young Englishmen who have emigrated to Canada to make their fortunes and have not succeeded. A few are the younger sons of the nobility. There are also many who are Canadian born, and altogether they are of high class"
 What are the requirements"
 Physically, a man must be in good condition" said Major Noodle. He must be at least feet inches tall. and have chest measurement of 36 inches He must have a good standing and some education"
 What is the pay and how long do you server
 The term of enlistment is for three years, but at the expiration of that time the men are allowed to enlist for another three years. Some of them keep on re-enlisting so that we have many men who have been long in the service.
 As to the pay, constables, or the lowest grade of police. receive s1 a day with their uniforms and rations. They get everything except their to- bacco and washing. AS the service goes on the pay rises for each new year at the rate of cents a day. Corporals get $150 a day; sergeants, s1.75, and staff sergeants from $2 to $2.50 All mount ed police are paid from 50 to 75 cents more per day in this district, because the prices of everything are much higher"

told expressed interest, saying that he remembered a man who used to sit at that window day after day, apparent ly suffering terribly from some throat trouble. Further conversation along the same line developed the fact that the man had died of asthma, and 1t was learned in the apartment building that his death had taken place in the very room in which she was then sleeping. Being a woman with as many nerves as the average woman pos sesses, she got away from the build ing with the result that the asthmatic trouble departed and has not returned since.
 MT. Hudson in his Law of Psychic Phenomena" declares that dying per- son can leave a thought behind and that this thought-message, if you will--will remain in the locality in which it was left until it makes clear to someone what the dying person wished known. In this case there was no secret message, but the asthmatic affection refused to be cured until the person had left the locality entirely.
 However, that may have no direct bearing upon the apartment hunting we were discussing. When we reached an- other apartment building about the hour Of noon, we find that the people are at home but are perfectly willing that we should entel It is afterward learned that this family has become hardened to the experience as having told their land lo,d that they would move out in Octo- Ter, they are subjected to 1t about twice or three times every day.

We had case sometime ago of miner who invegled two young men with money to come from Seattle to White Horse and go with him in a canoe POO miles down the Yukon. There they stopped at bend in the river, from where they were to make their way in land to gold prospect the miner had located As they camped, the miner had one of the men build a fire, while he took the other off with him to hunt game. Within a short time the man at the camp heard shot and later the miner came in and said they had killed bear about a mile away, and they wanted the man at the camp to go with him to carry in the bear meat. The two men started off together, the miner walk ing behind. The stranger began to think that all was not right. He turned his head quickly, and found that the miner had raised his rifle and had drawn a bead him. As he rushed to grab the gun it went off and shot him through the cheek. The stranger then grappled with the miner and succeeded in getting the gun. He ran away into the bushes and finally got to the boat and came to Dawson. He notified the police and we kept watch of the river. Within a few days the old miner came floating down in boat Our men followed him and put hlm under arrest. We then went back to the camp and found the body of the man who had started out to hunt bear. It had leen the miners intention to de- coy the second man to the place and shoot him. He wanted the two men to- gether, so that he could drag their bod ies more easily to the river and sink them. The murderer was tried in a month and hung two months later"
 Do you ever have lynchings or hold ups?"
 'I have never heard of any in the Yukon,'' said Major Noodle, "and we had none in southern Canada when the Can adian Pacific railroad was undergoing construction, although there were fre- quent holdups on the trains of the United States just across the border. We had now and then a man held up in the mountains away from the railroad, but not many. I remember one in which a highwayman held up man and a wom- an who were riding on horseback through the hills. He covered them with his re- volver and ordered the man to dismount. The woman was told to stay where she was. The highwayman then made the man hold up his haics while he went through his pockets. All this time the woman on horseback was congra tulating herself upon her escape. Her mind
