morning and wanted to look over the
sorveys. Whispering Smith, breath-
ing regularly, lay not far away. It
was late when McCloud put away his
maps, entered the inner room, and
looked at his friend:
He lay like a boy asleep. Or the
chair beside his head he had placed
htcase4isold-fashonedtunng watch
,
as big as an alarm clock, the kind a
railroad man would wind up with a
spike -maul. Besides the watch he had
Ilaid his huge revolver in its worn
leather scabbard. Breathing peace-
fully, he lay quiet at his companion's
mercy, and McCloud, looking down on
this man who never made a mistake,
never forgot a danger, and never took
an unnecessary chalice thought - of
wbat between men confidence may
sometimes mean. He sat a moment
with folded arms on the side of the
bed, studying the tired face, defence-
less in the slumber of fatigue. When
he turned out the light and lay down,
he wondered whether, somewhere in
the valley of the great river to whieh
he was to take his men in the morn-
ing, he should encounter the slight and
reckless horsewoman, who had blaz-
ed so in anger when be stood before
her at Marion's. He had struggled a-
gainst her -charm too ' long. - She had
become,ehow or when he coikld not tell,
not alone a pretty woman !but a fas-
cinating one—the creature- of his con-
stant thought. Already she meant
more to'him than all else in the world.
He well knew that if called on • to
ehoose between Dicksie and all else
he could only choose her. - But aa he
'drew together the curtains of
thought and sleep stole in upon ' him,
he was resolved first to have Dicksie;
to have all else if he could but ireany
case, Dicksie Dunning. When he awoke
day was breaking - in the mountains.
The huge silver watch, the low -
voiced man and the formidable Six-
shooter had disappeared. It time
to get up, and Marion_ Sine t had

Although it requires souse appara-
tus to make hootehinoo--the distill-
ed sourdough—it is remarkble what
simple apparatus may be used for
this distilling purpose. A common
home-raade stilt is Improvised by tak-
ing two coal -oil eans and connecting
them with a pipe. The pipe enters
one and pewees through the other.
The sourdough ig belled in the form-
er and condensed by ice in the latter,
the hootehinoo dropping out of the
end of the pipe as a colorless alco-
holic liquid. In the abseace of a pipe
gun barrels have been used for tide
purpose, and it is bedieved that there
are many houses in Alaska which
have some such apparatus in them.
When the materials can lie ob-
tained the following is a favorite
method of manufaeturing hoetch;
About a pint of sourdough is mixed
with about a gallon of cider or grape
juice, and the mixture is left open
for several days in a warna place.
This mixture becomes quite into. -
eating. Aigthese liquids are not con-
sumed for their taste, but for their
effects only, a great deal of trouble
results in Alaska from their use.
There are special agents for the
suppresEtion of intoxicating liquors,
among the natives of Alaska, and
Probably no other alcoholic drink
gives these agents as •much trouble
as sourdougin It may be interesting
to note that a vthite man who spends
more than a year in Alaska Is tailed
a "sourdough." The itsourdougie
says this is due to the feet that Vett
, white men make eourdowth (yeut)
hot takes, while the natives say
is because of the early adapation of
the white man's taste to the "native
drink."
