Thomas Riggs, of the Alaska Com mittee, made this morning The Committee, it is stated, has been as sured that Alaska's donation will not be less than 5000 and will probably be considerable in excess of that fig ure. 4
 Only scattered reports have been received by the committee from the Interior and practically none of the Seward Peninsula Nothing has been heard from Nome A telegram re- ceived this morning from Fairbanks states that at least $250 is assured there and that probably more will be subscribed The movement is just being launched there.
 Gov. Riggs stated today that the money is being sent to the National Treasurer for the fund in New York as rapidly as it is being received. No report has been received from the States regarding the amount collected, but it is expected at any time.

cHAPrER \.
A NIGHT and a Morning.

Stella Donovan never forgot the
miseries Of her first night in Haskell.
When old Man Timmons finally left
her, after placing the flaring lamp on
a chair, and went pattering back down
the bare hall, she glanced shuddering-
ly about at her unpleasant surround
ings, none too pleased with the turn Of
events.
The bed-clothing, once turned back
and inspected, was of nature to pre-
vent the girl from disrobing; but final
ly she lay down, seeking such rest as
was possible, after turning the flicker
ing flames of the lamp as low as she
dared, and then finally blowing it out
altogether. Her thoughts, never still,
wandered over the events of the eve
ning-the arrival at Haskell station,
the strange meeting with WestcOtt,
and the sudden revelation that he was
the partner of Frederick Cavendish.
The big, good-natured miner had in
terested her from the first as repre-
senting a perfect type of her precon-
ceiyed ideal of the real westerner.
She had liked the firm character of his
face, the quiet, thoughtful way in
which he acted, the whole unObtrusive
bearing of the man. Already he had
awakened her trust; she felt con-
vinced that if she needed friendship,
advice, even actual assistance, here
was one whom she could implicitly
trust.
She was young and she awoke rest
ed and refreshed in spite of the fact
that her body ached at first from the
discomfort of the cot. She stared
about at the bare, board walls, the bull
let-scarred mirror, the cracked pitcher.
before she could fully reassure her
self; then stepped upon the disreputa-
Bile rug and crossed to the open win
dow.
She Strengthened up, emitting swift
breath of delight, as her wide-open
eyes surveyed the marvellous scene of
mingled loneliness and grandeur. The
stream, curving like a great snake,
cleaned amid the acres Of green grass,
it's swift waters sparkling in the sun.
Beyond, seemingly at no distance at
all, yet bOrdered by miles of turf and
desert, the patches of vivid green in
terspersed with the darker coloring of
spruce, and the outcropping OF brown
rocks, the towering peaks of great
mountain-chain swept up into the
clear blue of the sky, black almost to

behind him, began making for the dis

they followed the road, which paral-
leled whispering stream, the girl be-
gan to draw him out skilfully. and was
amazed to find that for all of his
rough appearance he was excellently
educated and a gentleman of taste.
Finally the reason came out.

CHAPTER ".
Miss Donovan Arrives.


When the long overland train
paused a moment before the ancient
box car that served as the depot for
the town of Haskell, nestled in the
gulch half mile away, it deposited
Miss Donovan almost in the arms of
Carson, the station agent, and he,
wary of the wiIes of women and the
ethics of society, promptly turned her
over to Jim WestcOtt, who had come
down to inquire if the station agent
held a telegram for him-a telegram
that he expected from the East.
'She Oughtn't to hike to the Tim
mons house alone, JIM" Carson said.
''This we're is pay day up at the big
mines, an the boys are havin' a h
of a time"
In view of this disclosure, Miss
Donovan welcomed the courteous
acQuiescence of Westcott, whom she
judged to be a man of thirty-one, with
force and character--these written in
the lines of his big body and his
square, kind face.
''I'm Miss Stella Donovan Of New
York." she said directly.
"And l." he returned, with hat off in
She deepening gloom, "am Jim West
colt, who plugs away at a mining
claim over yOnder"
"There!" laughed the girl frankly.
''We're introduced. And suppose we
can start for the Timmons house."
AS her words trailed off there came
the sound of yelling, sharp cries,
and revolver shots from the gulch be-
low where lights twinkled family.
Laughing warmly, Westcott picked
up her valise. threw a "So-long" to
Carson, and with Miss Donovan close
