Hugh Clark is known as a very funny man. The «un was shining into her room ere Gay opened her tired, tear swollen dark eyes, and thesfirst thought that fla_hed through her heart and brain was, ere that golden sun should set she would have looked once more upon the face of Percy Granville. The white pillow on which that golden curly head rested that night was wet with bitter tears. Gay sat up toiling over the shimmering satin and misty lace for long hoursâ€"many a tear was buried among the glistening pearls. It was long after midnight before Gay finished it and laid it aside with a bitter sigh. "Sew on a ballâ€"dress which this haughty beauty was io wear, honving to attract Percy in itâ€"ah! how could she do it," was the thought that welled up into the breaking heart of the poor, deserted little bride; but she followed Ione to her bouâ€" doir, making no remonstrances.. Late that afternoon Tone Leighton rapped impatiently at her door. "I came to ask you to please help sew on my ballâ€"dre«s," she said imperatively; "it is not quite finished, and the seedâ€" pearls must be stitched in before I can wear it." When the door was closed she stood motionless, trying to understand and reaâ€" bh2t wust blix frad NOard.

Who cared that the cruel stab had gone home to her tender, bleeding heart, that the sweet young face was whiter than the petals of the starâ€"bells tossing their white plumes Against the casement? Slowly, blindly, with one hand grasping the balusters, Gay went up the broad staircaee to her own room. When the door was closed she stood from the laceâ€"draped window, but neither of the sisters heard it. Poor Gay was blind and stupefied. She groped rather than walked down the long porch to tne corridor. _ _ _ IT SATISFIES MILLIONS LIPTON‘S TEA OF PEOPLE Worth your while to test it It‘s the "Best Ever" Te C ts Teilers‘ Meagre Dict.

J should say that part of Yukon territory is still in its infancy as a gold proâ€" ducer, in spite of the millions that have been taken out. The great difficulty has been getting into the interior. Small boats go up the streams now for hundreds of miles, but still there are regions practiâ€" cally unprotected. In the past few years the Canadian Government has helped transportation by subâ€" sidizing these craft, and this makes it possible for miners to carry up their grub in the fall and continue their work in the winter. In my opinion, one of these days we shall hear of discoveries up there that will make the Klondike finds seem insignificant. _ From Dawson to White Horse it is 410 miles, and there are numerous regions on both sides of the way that never have been prospected." \ ‘"In the days of the gold rush a man would stake his claim, which would run 500 feet. The moment he got that worked down to low grade he was up against a proposiâ€" tion that required dredges and hyâ€" draulic machinery to work on a profitable basis. The majority of small claimholders sold out, and some gave options. A few are still holding out for their prices. The Government gives a man the right to hold his claim so long as $200 worth of work is done on it in a year. ‘"‘Dawson is not growing," said Mr. Pinkiert. "In the early days there were all kinds of mining right there on the ground for the indiviâ€" dual, but now, for a radius of about fifty miles around the town, the territory is so worked out that only big corporations can make money working it, and these have taken up a great deal of the land. The bigâ€" gest operations in the neighborhood are being carried on by a South African company, which owns or practically controls all the claims within that fiftyâ€"mile radius that the Guggenheims do not control. But Still Many Yukon Sections Not Â¥Yet Prospected. Henry Pinkiert, who used to be a merchant in San Francisco and went to the Klondike in 1897, and has been in business in or around Dawson City ever since, says there are no mining opportunities in the immediate neighborhood of Dawson except for men and companies with big capital.

China has always been a moral rather than a religious nation, which means that the family rather than the individual sense has been developed. _ This may militate against the rapid growth of freeâ€" dom for woman in public life, but in the end will give her a secure and honored position. Perhaps the greatest problem in that country at present is the struggle which is on between family loyalty and inâ€" dividualism,.
