He made .a hit himself; but what he's .cranky on is a fortune he imagines was hidden by a pal a his called Arizona Red, who was one of the biggest boosters on the trail. According to all accounts he was a holy terror. He staked one of the first claims on the Klondyke, and it -is a known fact that he was luckier eN than most of them; but. nobody ever t knew what he did with the nuggets.

M- y and he were thick pals, and he's never been the same man since: Ari- zona's death. He nursed him through his last illness in the shack they shared together on Goldwater Creek. .And he's there.. now with Rankine. They've been there since Rankine came to the Yukon.". "Doing what?" The banker shrugged his shoulders. "Prospecting in the good • old-fash Toned way, I'm told. Washing out the gold dust in their pannikins on the creek when it happens to be there; and in their odd minuteshunting for Arizona's pile. Affery thinks he has a boost on it, and will find it before he dies." "But you don't think that?" said Garvock significantly. Once more the banker shrugged his shoulders. "I don't believe for a second that there's any treasure. I put it to you —is it likely, after all these years, and with the crew of prospectors that have been over every blessed inch of the ground a thousand times? You see, the story of Arizona's buried,. treasure got about, and a good many of the tenderfoots and, some of the old hands as well have had a try for it" "" "You've seen and spoken with my cousin? He isn't the kind of man to he taken in with a fairy-tale like this, I should have thought-.." A queer, indefinable expression flit- ted across the banker's lean face, "A .man is not the same man here as elsewhere. There's something in the air that nips the blood. I loathe it, 'gut, all the same, I'll never leave it. And' things have happened here that, if they were written in books, would never be believed, It's a land of mys- terythis! CHAPTER XXX.--(Cont'd.) Arrived at his journey's end, find- ing himself e,mid the happiest condi- tions and the most exquisite. sur- roundings, Garvock naturally found it difficult to realize the Klondyke in winter. To him it was noir a region of enchantment and of dream; and whether or not he was to be suecess- ul in his search, he must for the remainder of his life be glad that he had penetrated so far into the heart of Alaska, . On tee morning after his arrival he sallied forth from his comfortable hotel to find the Canadian Bank of Commerce, which was only a stone's - throw off. His inquiry for the lean - ager was courteously met, and when he was ushered into the private room, he was politely received by a thin, clean-shaven man whose appearance suggested that of a lawyer in prac- tice rather than a Klondyke banker. "Morning! And what can I do for you sir?" he inquired, with. an un- doubted American roll on the "r." r ....•� FOR DIARRHEA DYSENTERY AND ALL SUER PLAIT Gives instantaneous Relief It has been a household remedy- for over 80 years.

"My •name's Garvock, You don t know me, and it would be hopeless to. explain," said Peter quietly. "I've made a long journey from Scotland to inquire whether you know the whereabouts of a non named Affery -I don't know his Christian name, but I think I've got the surname right?" He added that because he saw the gleam of quick intelligence .on the banker's face. "You have, sir. Mr. Affery is a client of ours, and 1 do happen to know where he is at this very min- ute." "Ohl" said Garvock with a little gasp of relief. "Can you put me on to him then? Is he anywhere in this district?" The banker nodded, and made his mouth into a long, queer line which seemed to indicate that he knew much more than he would put into words, even under severe pressure. "What do you want him for?—if it's a fair question," he asked as he pushed a chair towards Garvock, at the same time studying him keenly. "Scotland, did you say? Affery's Irish —at least three parts Irish. He has bought a place in his father -country in Donegal." "Well, as a matter of fact, I don't know Mr. Affery, and my eely inter- est in him is on account of a third party—a relative of my own, who was at one time in his company, and who, it _is surmised, cane out to Alaska with him." "I see. Name of Rankine perhaps?" The blood rushed, full and hot, to Garvock's `face. He knew now that though he was in close touch, he had hardly expected this. "That's the name! He's my cousin. I'm here really on behalf of his wife and his other near relatives. He's been lost to them for over two years." The banker nodded understand- ingly. "I see. Weil—he's been here in the Yukon with Affery for the last six months—let me see—yes, longer. He carne in October, just before the navi- gation was closed. I believe he came down the Yukon on the last boat of the season." "And isn't he here now?" asked Garvock feverishly. "Not in the city. But he's get -at - able. He's no further off than on one of the creeks in the Klondyke."

On Friday, about ten of the morn- ing, he got on board the stage once more, bound for the nearest point to Gold -water Creek.

But the face,save that it was thin,' had hardly altered.

A despatch from London says:— The report from Constantinople that the Turks are calling further troepa to the colorsand the announcement in Crandon that the British will maintain a strong fleet in Near Eastern waters for the next' few weeks are explained in British official quarters as being merely a coincidence and as having no significance. As far as the fleet is concerned, it is only engaging in manoeuvres, the officials say. Official spokesmen point out that the Turkish move is nothing to cause uneasiness, but is merely, in accord- ance'with Turkish military policy for safeguarding the frontiers,'' Unofficial observers, however, ex- press the opinion that the Turksein calling; up four classes to the colors are Making a gesture—possibly a bluff—with the idea -of getting a -fav- orable settlement' of the Mosul ques- tion.

The death rate in Canada during the month of July last' has been the lowest of any month since 1923. Ac- cording to the statistics, this death rate was 7 per 1,000' of population, which is an improvement ;of 10 per cent. on any month during the last two years. Tuberculosis has • been responsible for the largest quota of deaths, -82 per 10,000 of population—this is, how- ever, 16 per cent. less than for the corresponding month of 1924. Other diseases which have caused the largest number of deaths during July, 1925, are: organic diseases of the heart, 54 per 100,000 of popula- tion; intestinal affections among chil- dren, 53 per 100,000 of population; pneumonia, 43 per '100,000; cancer, 29; .chronic nephrytis -25. However, there has been a decrease in the death, rate due to contagious diseases among children. The death rate per 100,000 of population has been for diphtheria, 11; measles, 10; whooping cough, 9; scarlet fever, 5.
