STEPHEN WOOD, a new arrival lr> Alaska, owna a •mall mining claim near Oawton City. One night in the town's favorite and most appropriate- ly named saloon, "The Pistol Shot Inn," he mets HEMRY TALBOT, who has struck it rich and owns several claims. They become friends, and Talbot gives Wood a great deal of assistance and advice. They both met, KATRINE PONIATVOSKV, daugh- ter of the owner of the saloon, and a strong friendship springs up between Wood and Katrine. In the course of time Stephen finds a claim that shows every indication of a rich strike. Stake jumpers try to get Stephen's claim, which Is defend- er! by Talbot and Katrine. In the fight that follows, Katrine is wounded, •nd as a result of her wounds, be- gins to lose health and epirits. Steph- en !s worried and appeals to Talbot. Stephen did so. and found there was a reason for her apparent tUnees, which delighted and consoled him; but when Katrine flew into a passion, declared It was detestable, that it would take away her freedom and her power to ride and enjoy herse4f. Sti-phefl was shocked and grieved, and said he was disappointed in her: whereupon Ka- trine replied she hated him. and Ste- phen quoted Scripture texts to her till she ran out of the cabin acd rushed across to Talbot's in a pa«slon of sobs and tears. At least, she knew be would not quote texts to her. Talbot did all he could to smooth out matters batween the two, and after that Katrine spoke very little: she took refuge In a dejected silence, and grew paler each day. It was only when the men had pone out to work, and sh9 was left alone with a great pile of things to tiendâ€" work which she hatedâ€" that she would go to the door and stand looking out over the gray waste under the snow-filled, lowering sky. with the tears rolling silently down her cheeks. From where she stood she could gee. through the grayish air the men w-ork- Ing Ear down al»the other end of the plain's, and the long line of trenches Rnd tt? banks of frozen gravel: some- times, in the light tog. made of the tiny sharp snow-flaV;c»s. sifting through the air, they would look misty, like L'hosts or shadows: and sometimes the dulled click and scrape of the spades would reach her. "Slaves, slaves, 'ust like slaves!" she would think, watching the mufflod-up ligures continuallv bending ovsr their •ork: "and they'r? dlsr^ine graves, ^aves!" And she would thipk of An- nie and fie gr'^ve \\\\\ had been dig- ging for her while he dug for gold. A r>d sun. duli as copper, bunc ab'ive their. n"d sotnetimes ths great North- irn Lights would send up a red flame behind thp horizon: and to Katrine it seemed like a blood-covered sword held up by Nature to warn them off a land not fit for men. One afternoon, "hen the sun looked more sullen and the sky more threatening than ever, and the men moving at the wid of the claim looked no more than mere blots In the cold mist, she stood watching the steady red blade shoot up In the * ashen skv. and began romoaring its color to other things. "Tfs as red." she Slid to he-aelf softlv. "ivs hearts and diamond':" and then her thoughts wandered to tbe cards themselves, and • he thought of the hot .saloons at nights crowded with faces, and the to- ' bacco «moke in the air. and the jabber of voices, and the laughter of the mln<>rs. and their oaths and Jokes and stories, and their friend- ly ways to her. and tbe adm.ira- tlon on their rough and eometimes honest faces, and the lone table* and the spat, srat of the falling cards as they were dealt, and the chink of the Klasses and the hot spirits burning your throat, and then the feeling of ioUity. and then the warmth and life and "cheeriness of it all. 'ler eyes brightened and her chest heaved a little as she leaned against the lintel. If she could have one night of it aeain! And here, what would it be â- when the men came back? ?mM>er. and thpn Talbot and Stephen talking of their work, and the brobable vo!- ue of the claims, and the pa is they could make, and what the dirt would run to, and then dismissing the ivh'.iB Fubject as impossible to decide t'U the spring came and they roui I wa.sh the gravel, and then having so d's- inissfd It. they would fall to sp? u- lating again what the spring would show them the dirt v . worth, and so on all over again from the beginning. Oh she bad heard It so often, noth- ing nothing bjit the same topic night â- after night, and after that, cutis of coffee of which she was sick, or wE'er and then reading a chapter of the tentament. and then going to bed. â- nd ritephen too dead fired n give her a good-night kiss. If they ^ad tiad a game of cards In tan erenlng now, altogether, and become interest- ed in that and forgotten to talk of the claims, :jid some good whiskey after it, or cleared out oi^ of the cabins and bad a dance there with some ot tbe hands vbo lived itear, and a man to whistle tunes for 'hem it there was no other orcbestra; but no! Stephen thought that cards were wrong a_d wouldn't have then in his house, and whiE'ey too. and dancing worst ot aH, and only the &ia of ava- rice and tlie- lust of gold wis to be connived at there. As she st '. there the thoLgh. slipped into hi.T mind quite suddenly â€" so suddenly '.bet It suriprised herself â€" "why not go down to town an(' have a goo tijn; as shs used?" Uer heart beat QiHCkly, and t: . old color cams into h«- cheek. She glanced at the dull, ccjp^ery sun growing dimmer and dimmer .ihind the thickening snow log, and the pink light flickering on the horizon, at the dim figures of the men and the g.ay waste on every sids. Th(sre was a thick silence, broken only by a faint far-off ?click of a shovel from the trenches. There would b« half an hour's mere d..ylight, h.^lf au -our be- fori the men returned to mi-c her. Sh> would get a good start anyway. Slie turned into the cabin again, her face aglow and her eyes spiirkling. She knew that Stephen would la fear- fully angry with her â€" she had not been once to the ton-n since hi.-r mar- riage â€" tut she had a stronger nature than Stephen's, and felt no tear of bis anger. "He thinks I am a reformed char- acter," she mutered cotniemptuously to herself, as she put on her thick rubber boots. "Well. I told him there was only one chance to reform me, and that was to take me away from here, a - h^ wouldn't do it." She built up the fire in an enormous bank, and left ttie men's slippers and dry socks bes e it. Thea she slipped into her long skin ooat, and crushed the fur cap down on her eyabrows and pul.ed it over bar ears, -^s she went out, she took a ' ag ook at the claims â€" the men were still busy there. "Slaves!" she muttered. She closed the door with a sharp snap and-Kft the key hanging oa it, as was testtal when she wis inside. Then s^^e turn- ed her face to the town trail aad set off at a long steady ftrid? through the dead, silent air. The .-•• a. %»S within fasv walking distance for-Jler^ and though it weu->d be d»rk -.before she reached it, that mattered ve»y li*- tl'*. her eyes were strong end almost .â- is good as a wtld cat's in tbe dark. On every hand tbe sky seemed to hang low .and threatening over the earth, and the air had the grip ot iron in it; but Katrine poshed on at th' same even I'.ace without even an apprthensivs glance reund. Her spirits rose as the walked. She fe'.t the old sense of gladness in her youth and stre gth ahd health, and in her freedom, and as she b«unde- along over the hard, glittering snow, full of a mere responsible aniisal p'easure, such as moves the young chai:.ois in his bounds from rock to rock. Dark- ness had come like a Hot upon the earth V "^re she had gone halt the d' tance, but now she had the twink- lit; lights and the reddish haze" ot Dawson before her. Her dyes bright- ened as she canght sight ot them, .ind she hastened her steps. By t'.ie time night had fairly sef.'.ed down she came into the side streets ot the town. Dawson is an all-nlj5h~ town, an' things were all in full blast â€" .saloons, ahooting galleries. danoe- h "s. and dog-Mghts going cii just as u -1. She noted with sali "action th.-.t nothing seemed to h -c altered a litle bit since she saw it last, and as she turned into Good Lie'.: Row, to walk down it for old Bcquiiintance' sake, a big. disrcpntabVe old yellow dt , she had ted through last winter came bounding up and leaped all over her in de- lichte.l re<'<Hm!tion. Katritie was plessed at this welcome, and ST)ent qn'te a time at the corner with him. asking how manv dog-fights he bod had latelv. md being answered with short, triumphant barks that she took to mean he bad demoliabed aU tbs small dogs of that quarter Tbra ahs went on and passed her own lorm«r bouse, and saw to her awrprUe tt was vacant, and so was Annie's sezt it. That looked as if Daweon wa« not pressed tor si>ace. Am she was turn- ing out of the row she saw ahead nt her another old acquaintance; thie was a human cne. and Katrine fait as if she had quite slipped back Into her own life as she hailed him. "Sam!" *he called, gently. "Halloo, Sam!" Tbe miner turned, and as soon as he eaw her a broad, genial smile o'er- epread hie countenance and stretched his m.outh frcm one edge of hia fur ear laps to the other. "Why, Katey, you down here again; "you've cut the parson fellow, eh?" "Oh, no," said Katrine, hastily, red- dening a little. 'Tm juet la town for a day or so. How's your wife?" "Well," answered Sam, alowly. as he put himself at her aide and slouch- ed heartly along the sidewalk with- her. "She's al! rightâ€" leastways I reckon she ought to be; she's In 'eaven now." "Oh. Sam!" sard Katrii>e in a shocked voice, "t« she dead? How did she die? When?" "Why. I reckon H was the cold like v-she kind o' froze to death. When I got home one night the tire was out, and she was just laVin' acrost the hearth; the room was awful cold, and there wam't no food, neither â€" I 'spect that helped It. I'd bin away three or four days, and the food give out quicker than I thought, and the firln'. I arst a doctor here wot U was, and be said it was dinccugh or sumthin' " "Syncope:" suggested Katrine. "Yes. that's what 'e said; but I eet It was just the cokl akeicbin' of her heart like, and 6toipf>ln' it." "What were you doing?" asked Katrine. "Why, I wae out arter gold, c' couree." Katrine shivered. They paeeed tbe Sally White at that moment, with its flaring lights and noise of merriment within. "Let's go in, Sam. and get a drink. Your tale has pretty nearly frozen me." They turned in, and ae Katrine pushed open the door there was a shout of recognition and welcome from the men roui>d the bar. The door fell to behind them, shutting out th» icy night. • • • « • When the light failed, and the night had come down on the claims like a black curtain let fall suddenly, the men left the ground, and stiff with cold, their muscles almost rigid, plodded siowly and silently back to the cabin. The hired men dispersed in different directions, some goiag down town and so€ne to their cabins near. When Stephen and Talbct en- tered they found the fire leaping and crackling as if it had j'ast been tend- ed, and both men sat down to change their boots in the outer room. Tbe door into the bedroom was shut, and they supposed Katrine was within. They were too tired and frozen to sneak, and not a word w,{ks eiichanged between them. After a time Stephen got up and went into the inner room; there was no light in it. and the door swung to behind him. Talbot, with a white, drawn face. leaned back in hia chair and closed his eyes. When Stephen entered he thought Katrine was prcbaWy asleep upon the bed. and crossed tbe room to find a light. When the match was struck and a candle lighted, he stared round stupidly. The room was empty! He looked at the bed. Katrine was not there; then his ey?p caught a liltle squace. of white paper pinned on to the red blanket. He went up to it. unpinned it slowly, and read it with trem%t>Bg fingers. Tateot, waiting in the other room, hungry and thirsty, got up after a time and t>egan to laV the supper. This done, he made the coffeer. tfhd when that was peady and sUli S|^t>«n had not reappeared, he rapp'e^at the doori There seemed a muffi^ sound from within, and Tal- bot pushed the door a little open. In- side, he saw Stephen pitting on the edge of the bed. stariuig at the paper In hir! hand "What's the matter?"' said Talbot. Stephen handed him the paper in a blank silence and Talbot took it and held it near the candle. This is what be -eid- "I have gone down to the town to get a little change and to relieve the dreadful monotony of this life. Don't follow me: just leave roe alone, and I'll come back in a day or two. There is no need to be anxious. You know 1 can take care ot myself." (To be continued.)

EARLY FALL CARE OF THE FLOCK Effects of Different Feeds Should Be Considered During Mould. A reasonable amount Of care with the farm flock during the late sum- mer or early fall will perhaps return a larger profit in the following months than the same amount of work given at any other time ot the year. With the prices ot feedstufts atlll very high it behoove* the poultryman to have his flock in shape to produce the greatest number of eggs during the nfonths w'aen prices are highest. Spring and summer being the natural period of production for the ben are the seasons when prices rule lower, consequently the flock that is In pro- per shape to produce results in the re- sults in the early winter months will return the largest interest on fhe money invested. THE MOULT AN INFLUENTIAL FACTOR. One of the main factors influencing early winter production is the moult- ing period, rhe drain on the hen's system during the feather forning period makes it practically impossible for her to both produce feathers and eggs at the same time. It requires six weeks tor a tail or wing feather to grow to niatnrity. and as the feathers are usually dropped a few at a time it is easy to realize the length ot time that is v.asted during the moulting period. Then, again, all the hens do net moult at the same time, which is a decided disadvantage as the feed ration best suited for a laying hen will not give the best re- sults to a flock In the moult. EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FEEDS. It has long been known that certain feeds have a bearing on the early de- velopment or the retarding of the moult. It is an advantage to have all the hens moult at the same time and it is advisable to have the period over with before the cold weather sets in. Any change in the feed ration should be brought about gradually The best method is to confine the hens to ^ yard where the ration can be controlled supplemented with some fattening food such as corn on buck- wheat, which should ba increased until it is pactieally the only gain teed used. The corn ration should be fed for about two weeks. The heating ac- tion of the feeds used will tend to loosen the feathers. However, to corjplete the moult It will be neces- sary to discontinue the feeding sudden- ly; in fact almost starve the hens for a short period. The feathers will drop at once, and the poultryman should exercise care to gradually In- crease the feed ration when the de- sired result has been obtained. The ration should be changed and the corn ai>d buckwheat entirely omitted and wheat substituted. A dry mash should be kept before the hens at all times, consisting of wheat bran, middlings, and ground oats. By using this method the moult should be nearly completed in six or seven weeks, but care should be taken not to force the hens with a laying ra- tion too soon after the moult. It must be remembered that the pro- 1000 Eggs in Every Hen New Syatem Of Poultry Keeping â€" Get Dcllar A Dozen Eggs â€" Famous Poultryman. * TELLS HOW grass ot forcing a ben to moult should be undertaken with care; tbe poultry- man needs to keep a watcotul eye on the fleck an<t make sure that the pro- cess la not overdone, as in that euse much vit&lity will be lost anft tbe pro> ductlon Impaired during the tollowinK months. However, if the practice ia followed and the proper results achieved the added value ot tbe eggs, produced when egg prices are high- est, will more than reward the keeper far the time employed. FATTENING THE TURKEYS. Turkeys as a whole reacii the mar- ket in mucti better nesuinK man lue general run ot other towi. Perhaps tnia is because tne turkey is sucJi a good foiager, going to any pan of the farm tiiat otferb a meal . Most ot tile receipts un central markets, how- ever, would be improved by better feeding auring tbe last few weeks. Ttirkeys cannot be subjected success- fully to the two-week cramming pro- cess that ia commonly foliawea with other poultry. Such a process would result in a large monall"Ly. Tue feed- ing period must l>e extended over a period of six weeks. During ibis period their run may be restricted to a fenced yard or a good sized sbed with a wire front. During tbe Orst month of feeding they may l>e fed either grain or mash composed of oats, barley and corn, and during a part of this period they should be on tree range. The change to seclusion and heavier feeding at the same time would be too radical. A method followed by many is to feed whole grain morning and night, and a mash composed of commeal, chop, bran and some coarse sand mixed with milk at noon. Cooked mashed pota- toes mixed with milk Is supposed to produce a whiter flesh, and towards the end of the fattening period beef scrap or cooked meat will hasten Qesbening.

A well-known poultry man found a Way to gave the wheat that is dropped in the stubble incident to shocking and removing the sheaves. When the sheaves were drawn away frcm the field, which Is at a distance from the farm home, the same evening a small, portable hen house in which tb« young fowl were confined while mov- ing, was placed on a skid and drawn Up and placed In the t^ntre ot the wheat-stubble. In the morning tbe doors ot the house were opened, and, presto! the birds found themselves In a veritable Eldorado, and proceeded at once to eat. The plentiful supply of grasshoppers this season formed a fine ration for the ehicks. Plenty ot fresh wa'er is supplied dally, near the portable house, in sani- tary utensils, and the chickens enjoy this mode of life, which tbe yonnB- sters term "camning otu." and alw^vs rofer to the fowl un the field »s the chickens on "their holidavs." This Is the easiest and only way to save all the choice loose-wheat. T^Tien th-^ field is gleaned 'he house and hons are acain piif on 'he skid and taken to o'her stubble fields or brought back to the home yard. COLD NOT GOOD FOR LAYERS "Because of the long cold wli'.ters, the open-front poultry house has not proved satisfactr -y in this section." writes a poultry expert of a northern town. The first long laying house, constructed by a certain breeder, was of this type, but after several years' experience he has discarded it for the modified plan recommended by Prof. A. C. Smith, of the Minnesota Agricul- tural College. Instead of havitig large openings at reguiar interNals, the eoS lege plans call for small openings above each window. These openings ape fitted with a frat:ie covered with light cloth so arranged that they can be opened at any angle desired. The ends, back wall and roof, and sealed inside and out. The space between the rafters is filled with sawdust, which acts as a non-conductor, keep- ing the heat in and the cold out. The house is the result of the care- ful experiments carried on by the poultry department ot the college. "It is much warmer than my other house," says the piniltrymaa. Yet there Is never any moisture or frost on the wall. By leaving a number of small openings near the roof suffi- cient ventilation is provided »o keep the air reasonably pure and fresh. The way these hens laid last winter proved to the producer that he had been making ft^sh-air fiends of his hens at the expense of his pocket- book. In a milder climate the open front is all right, but it doesn't T'.t our conditions. STANDARD-BRED FOWLS A pure bred, whether it is a hen or a cow means that the animal comes from a definitely recognized breed and that the parents were pure-bred ani- mals of the same breeding, which can be definitely proved, and thus making the animal eligible for regis- tration, it Is thea a purebred ani- iiiai. There is the added stipulation that an animal must be healthy, vigor- ous and a creditable specimen of its "breed in order to be pure bred. In reference to poultry breeding, perhaps the best terms of all to in- dicate 100 per cent, blood is the ex- pression "standard-bred." This means that the fowl referred to as standard- bred is one which conforms to the standard.-^ o' form, color, markings, weight, etc.. for the various br»eds under the Standard of perfeotion of the \iv.erican poultry association. Standard-bred is a term which Is growing In popu'arity among those doing business in the pure-bred poul- t-v field, and is perhaps a more dis- tinctive expression than any other which might be used with refeynce to poultry. __ â€" -»«•» Qoodness of Apples.
