CHAPTER xIx-continued.

So far the mind of the Scotsman. fol-
lowed the probabilities logically, but
at this point it made jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure of that, for this was not
a one-man job. Now, if Holt had with
him a companion, who of all those in
Kusiak was the most likely man? he
was a friendless, grabbed old fellow.
Since coming to Kusiak old Gideon had
been seen constantly with one man.
They had been with each other at din
ner and had later left the hotel to-
gether. The name of the man who had
been SO friendly with old Holt was
Gordon Elliot,and Elliot not only was
another enemy of Macdonald, but had
very good reasons for getting out of
the country just now.
The strong jaw of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short
sharp orders to men in the crowd. One
was to get the coroner second Wally
Selfridge, another the United States
district attorney He divided the rest
into squads to guard the roads leading
out of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present
The coroner took charge of the body
and Wally of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up TO the hotel together. AS soon as

In the Blizzard.

"Swiftwater" Pete, the driver of the
stage between Kusiak and Katma, did
not like the look of the sky as his
ponies breasted the long uphill climb
that ended at the pass. "Gittin' her
back up for blizzard, looks like.
Doggone it, if that wouldn't jest be my

Fat Beauties.

Throughout the empire Of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members OF the adult popu-
lation follow professionally the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the mat
rimonial market Of Barbary.
The Moors, like the Turks and most
other Orientals, give decided prefer
ence to "moon-faced" wives over lean
ones. and are more solicitous as to the
number of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock OF accom-
plishments they possess.
A girl is put under the process OF
fattening when she is about twelve
wears of age. Her hands are tied be-
hind her and she is seated on carpet
during SO many hours every day. while
her papa" stands over her with
stick. and her mother, at times, pops
into her mouth a ball of stiff maize
porridge, kneaded up with grease and
Just large enough to be swallowed

If the unfortunate girl declines to be

and gulps down the boluses. lest she

A visitor remarked about the good
looks of Alaska women, and the fact
that they dress with taste, says the
Anchorage Times. OF course, our
northern women are pretty. Why
shouldn't they be? They enjoy abso-
lutely pure air, drink water as fresh
as that from mountain spring, get
plenty of exercise, and take an active
part in community affairs. They are
cosmopolitan the same as the men are,
and well read and well informed. AS
every one knows, there is nothing SO
beautiful as good health. 1t is a JOY
even to see an Alaskan girl swinging
along with free, firm tread instead
of the mincing step of her sister il
the states, who gives the impression
she is stepping on eggs. The Alaska
girl looks you squareiy in the eye,
gives you frank handclasp and u

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression in Business Reported Past
Year, Sale of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng in Hong
kong and the China field generally
is depressed, and dealers look for lit
tie revival in the trade until we'll to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is a quickening in the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite of the high ex-
change value of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, the sale of the
root has been much below normal.
says Consul General George E. An
dersOn, Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of lot of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later similar lot of as good
if not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions in the interior OF
China are given as the chief reason
hfor the present slump in demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root on hand of course will get the
benefit of the improvement, while that
held in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns.
The ginseng business and all similar
lines of trade in China are in an I'M
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance of any
conditions.

Two on the Trail.

Elliot and Holt left Kusiak in
spume of whirling, binding snow.
They travelled light, not more than
forty pounds to the dog, for they want
ed to make speed. 1t was not cold for
Alaska. They packed their fur coats
ON the sled ands wore mittens of
moosehide with duffel lining, on their
feet mukluks above German" socks.
Holt had been sour-dough miner too
long to let his partner perspire from
oyermuch clothing. He knew the dam
ger of pneumonia from a sudden cool
ing of the heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven Of his dogs,
driving them two abreast. Six were
huskies, rangy, muscular animals with
thick, dense coats. They were in the
best of spirits and carried their tails
erect like their Malemute leader.

Paris.-The intelligence or spy serv-
ice of the rival armies now facing each
other in France has developed into a
wonderful mechanism. Underground,
on the ground and above the ground
the system of surveillance, listening,
patrolling, spying and accommodating
is in incessant operation night and
day. Spies have performed aStOnish-
ing feats, 1t may almost be said that
no important movement on either side
is unknown to the enemy. The size
and composition of opposing troops are
thoroughly known, as well as the
names of officers, their degree of skill,
the hold they may have upon their
men and the manner in which they CO.
operate with other commands.
Surprised by Airmen.
A high officer attached to one OF
the American divisions now in train
ing in France tells of the surprise to
which he was treated by enemy air
men. The division had been establish
ed several weeks in camp not far from
the battle line. Every evening, pre-
cisely at $50, the division was in
spected by parties of German airmen.
who flew in regular formation at a
| fixed height. The regularity of this
aerial inspection became a byword
among the Americans. They set
their watches by the airplanes of the
| enemy.
On a certain day the word was eau
tiously sent out to commanding officers
that the entire division would move
on the following day five miles to the
I eastward by little south. The coun-
try was muddy, and an early start was
| to be made. That evening the air.
planes did not appear at s 80, and the
Americans began cracking jokes among
themselves, finding fault with their
| watches.
At 10 80, however, the Germans APP
peared, flying low and dropping num-
Der of suspicious looking bags of small
size, which were made distinctly visi-

morning one of the bags was opened.

the landlord got passkey and took
them TO the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
in. In the waste-paper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
he held up in a significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him small cloth sack.
"One of those we keep our gold in
at the bank said the Scotsman after
a close examination. "ThiS definitely
ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliot"
'He left the hotel with Holt about
five this morning, the porter says
This was the contribution of the land
lord.
The room Of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had CHANGED to fall. Plainly their
owner had been in great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. His new fur
coat is not here-nor his trail boots
Looks to me as though Mr.. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
All doubt of this was removed when
q prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Elliot
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs
The big Scotsman ordered his team
of Siberian wolf-hounds made ready
for the trail. AS he donned his heavy
furs, Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot or
the run at last.
Just as he closed the door of his
room. Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated, then shrugged
his shoulders and strobe out into the
storm. If he had answered the cal
he would have learned from Diane
who was at the other end of the line
that the stage upon which Sheba hat
started for Katma had not reached TT
roadhouse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners o.
the great Alaska sweepstakes were
flying down the street in the teeth o.
the storm. Armed with rifle and :
revolver, their owner was mushing int
the hills to bring back the men wht
had robbed his bank and killed thu
cashier. He travelled alone because h,
could go faster without companion

that had plunged down from a ledge
above.
BADLY hurt, Gid?" he asked.
II done bust my laig, son." the old
man answered with twisted grin.
"You mean that it is brOken?"
''Tell you that in minute"
He felt his leg carefully and with
Esliot's help tried to get up. Groan-
ing. he slid back to the snow.
"Yep. She's busted" he announced.
Gordon carried him to the tent and
laid him down carefully. The old
miner swore softly.
"Ain't this a devil of note, boy!
You'll have to get me to Smiths Cross

1t was the only thing 10 be done.
