CAM E OUT
 All EAD.


 Fourth was called off for various reasons. A few spectators purchased tickets and were seated in the grand stand waiting for the game to com mence when it was announced that there would be no game and the money would be refunded at the ticket office. On redeeming the tick cts the cashier, who, by the way, is an accountant, found himself out the price of one ticket, having taken back more than he sold. He was about to charge his loss to the per sonal debit side of the ledger when he had the good fortune to pick up a dollar, and instead of debit charge he made an entry in the credit column of fifty cents. He was much pleased at coming out ahead of the game, even though someone was the loser.

CELEBRATION
 OBSERVED IN
 GOOD MANNER

The celebration of the Fourth of July is now a thing of the past, To- cally, but the observance of the day will finger with those attending for many days. The weather conditions were ideal, neither too hot or too cold, with just enough of breeze blowing to keep the air cool and the mosquitoes under shelter.
 The baseball game scheduled for the opening exercises in the morning had to be called off owing to the grounds being arranged for the auto races.
 Shortly after noon the Fairbanks band assembled at the bridge ap- proach and rendered several airs. At 1:15 the oration exercises com menced, Rev. o. F. Krieger deliver ing the invocation, followed by the speaker of the day, Thomas Mar quam. who during the course of his delivery was interrupted many times by the enthusiastic ap- plause of the listeners. Dwelling at length on the patriotic spirit of Am erica and linking the present cause with those of past American his tory, he had the crowd periodically enthusiastic all the time. At the conclusion of his speech he was ac- corded much applause.
 Shortly after the conclusion of the oration exercises the crowd ad- journed to the park to witness the auto races. At the conclusion of the races everyone passed time in other forms of entertainment until the holding of the sports at o'clock on Front street with the band in attendance. At the conclusion of the sports many attended the wrest- ling match at the Auditorium, which concluded one of the best celebra. tions ever held in Fairbanks.

 After the Yukon came in another big load of Elam's letters came to the store and Elam actually blushed when the clerk joshingly asked him what he'd been doing Outside all winter. and when he was expecting "her" in.

 The men with MT. Stagg having spread out on the ice like q skirmish- ing party. now closed in toward the point from which sounded the dogs barking. The hardware dealer shout ed as he ran. He was the most reck- less of them all and on several oeea- sions came near falling.
 Suddenly an object appeared in the smother of falling snow. Hoarsely the dog parked again. Mr. Stagg shouted :: Hey, Princel Prince Here we are n
 The mOngrel made for the hardware merchant and almost knocked him over. He was mad with joy.
 Show 'em to Us. good dog!" cried Uncle Joe. Take us to 'em Where's Hannahs Car'lyn? Show us, boy :"
 Prince lapped Mr. Staggs face and then ran off through the falling snow, barking and leaping. The men hur- ried after him. Twice or thrice the dog was back, to make sure that he was followed. Then the men saw something outlined ill the driving snow
 Uncle Joe! Uncle Joel"
 The childs shrill voice reached the hardware merchant There was poor Chet, staggering on, leaning against the wind, and pulling the sled behind him.
 Well, you silly chump!" growled Joseph Stagg. "Wherere you going, anyway"
 'Oh, Uncle Joe :" walled Carolyn May, he isn't anything like that at all He's just the bravost boy; And he's all wet and cold"
 At the conclusion of this declaration poor Chet fell to his knees and then slipped quietly forward on his face.
 q yum :" grunted the hardware deal- CT, T guess the boy is all in"
 But Chet did not lose consciousness. He raised a faint murmur which reached Mir. Staggs ears.
 1T did the best I could, Mir. Stagg. Take-take her right up to mother. She'll fix Car'lyn up, all right.

ROAD MUCH LIKE CORKSCREW
Railway in India Makes Complete Double Loop on Its Way to the
 Top of Mountain.

One of the most interesting railroad lines, the construction of which meant the solution of difficult engineering problems, is the narrow-gauge railway which winds it's way up the steep slopes of the Darjeeling range of the Himalayas to Darjeeling.
 Darjeeling is noted health resort of the British rulers of India and the summer seat of the Bengal govern ment. It is 7,40o feet above sea level. Its delightful climate and the magnifi- cent scenery surrounding it. including a panorama of the highest peaks of the Himalayas. make it one of the most desirable places in India during the hot season. One of the remark able features of the mountain railway is the Chimbatti loop, probably the only example of its kind in the world. The tracks. rising at a steep grade. make a complete double loop to reach the station on the mountain top.-Pop- ular Science Monthly.

"Oh I'll cling to 1t, Chet,"' declared the little girl. And do take me off this ice, quick. for think it's floating out with me"
 Chet drew on the rope the sled moved forward and plunged, with just little splash, into the pool.
 In a few seconds he had "snaked' the sled to the edge of the ice foe on which he stood. He picked the sob ping Carolyn May off the sled and then lifted that up too. The little girl was wet below her waist.
 'Tm-Tm just as eo-old as I-I can be-" she chattered "Oh, Chet. take me home, please.' .'
 I'm a-going to- chattered the lad in return.
 He dragged off his coat now. wrung it as dry as he could and wrapped 1t around Carolyn Mays legs before he seated her on the sled again. Then he seized the rope once more and started toward the sound of the chapel bell
 Prince began te bark He could not move forward much faster than Ghet did, but he faced the wind and began to bark with persistence.
 .There - there's something over there, Chet." murmured Carolyn May. She was all but breathess herself.
 Then, through the wind and storm came faint hail. Prince eagerly pursued his barking. Chet tried to re ply to the hail, but his voice was only hoarse croak
 We've got to keep on-we've got to keep or" muttered the lad, dragging the sled slowly.
 The dog had disappeared. Carolyn May was weeping frankly. Chet Gorm- ley was pushing slowly through the storm, staggering at each step, scarce ly aware in what direction he was heading
