Greco Leighton elowly quitted her fliS;
tEr'n boudoir, and a few moments late •
had entered tho sieleroom with a cluster
of freehly-eut roses in her liande.
"How ia she ehis morning, etre. Burke?"
she asked, gazing aneiously at the beau-
tiful, dusk, gypeyish face nestling
againet the enowy.
"Pretty bad, Miss Grece," said tho house-
keeper slowly; "she's been out of her
. head ever since she was brought up to
thie room."
While Gracie Leighton stood there e Gay's
dark, Wight, feverish eyes slowly *Ilene&
and her lovely rosy lips "meted in a• pite-
ous moan.
"You will not let them part me from
my love!" she sobbed. "I em all alone
in the world but for him; it I lose hini,
I would pray to Heaven to lot me die.
The world is ,so dreary -so drettrY!"
"You must not, listen to what she le
eaying, Mies Grace," said the housekeeper
quickly; "sick people have all sorts of
strange ,fancies, you know. Why, at one
time she imagines hereelf standing alone
in the midst of a dark, roering river, with
the waterrising higher and higher
around her, and that some fair-haired
lover 'is etretehing out his strong arms to
save her; then again, he is orying out
that some one mast prevent some imagin-
are, duel; then she lielievee herself stand-
ing ,belore the altar in a dim old church,
with strange, dark, shadows infolding
her," '•
"Oh, Mrs. Burke, do you think ehe is
married?" broke in Gram eligerly, "why,
she can't be a day older than 1 am."
"Of course elle% not married," returned
elle honeekeeper, promptly, "if she were
wife there would be a, wedding.ring up-
on her poor little burning -loot hand. These
things she talks about are only the fan-
ciful ravings the fever produces -you mut
pay no attention to what she soya."
"I wonder where her friends serer said
Grace, tenderly putting back Gay's eoft
datk curls." •
"It's my opinion -judging from the Way
ehe was found -that she hasn't any," re-
turned Tees. Burke, laconically.
Per dreary weeks Gay lay at the point
of death in the,elegaut mansion home of
the Leightous, /
The raging fever reached its. height,
broke, and then the tedious hours of con-
valescence began.
Little Gayl arose from that slok-coneh

have found difficulty in recognizing her -
her glorious velvety eyes were as dark

hair that had clustered round her head

fair golden hair grew -it Wati the nature
of tbe fever.
This difference in the color of her hair
made a marvelous change in Gay.
The dusky face had whitened like the
pearly, velvety petal of a lily -tinted in
cheek and lip with the tender Pink of the
mit blush -rose.
Gay Wa0 pretty before, now she wae as
dazzling beautiful as a poetee dreaxe, with
her great, dark, velvety eyes and lovely
golden hair, that clustered about her head
in shining rings.
Grace Leighton was delighted with her.

ever rankled in a girl's heart.
"If men were to see her they would
rave over her beauty," she thought. "Ole

ell the loving, passionate longing in her

Poor Little Gayhow she laid her ten-
der cheek againet the white page and
kissed it because it would lie in her dar-
ling Percy's hands, and his bonny blue
eyes would rest on every line that her
little weak lingers hail fluttered over so
unsteadily.

She would have laid down her sweet young

She had never been the same since he
kissed her that night in the old gray.
stone church. Her heart had left her then
and had gone out to Mm.
The whole world would have been no.
thing to her without Percy's love. She
idolized him after an idolatrous fashion
of her own.
She gave her letter to the housekeeper
tO mail for her -and by noon that day
the letter was speeding on its way to

Just one little minute -then it • did not

Gay never remembered how the hours

Late that afternoon Ione Leighton
rapped impatiently at her door.
"I came to ask you to please help sew

"11 ie not cluite finithed, and the seed -

Slowly the dark, horror-strielten, velretet
eyes had traversed every line of the cruel
letter. She eta quite son—no statue,
carved in stone or marble, was ever more
silent or motionless -then she rose from
the garden smut fleeing from the arbor,
through the pleasure -grounds, through
the coppiee, and into the deepegreen heart
of the lonely wood.
No human being was near, but the birds
were soon startled by the passionate cries
of a broken heart; cries that fell freely
and clearly on the soft, sweet air, and
seemed to rise to the very face of the
blue heavene-gbitter, paseionate cries, that
took with them the burden of a wrecked
soul.
"I cannot bear it," elm said to herself.
"011, God, why did I not die -die believ

Even Evelyn St. Claire might have been
moved to eomething like remorse if the
oauld but ham gazed on the fruits of her
evil work at that moment.
How long Gay lay there in the deep
heart of the lonely wool e with. the fatal
letter clinched tightly in her white hand,
she never know.

NO LONDEIt FOB POOR MAN.
But Still Many Yukon Sections Not
• Yet Prospected.
Henry Pinkiert, who used to, be a
merchant in San Eranoisco and
went to the Klondike in 1897, and
has been in busin-ess in or around
Dawson City ever since, says there
are no mining opportunities in the
immediate. neighborhood <A Dawson
except fer men and 'companies with
big capital.
"Dawson is net growing," said
Mr. Pinkiert. "In the early days
there were all kinds of mining right
there on the ground fot the indivi-
dual, but now, for a radius of about
fifty miles around the town the
territory is SO WOrked Out alall;:011ly
big corporations can make money,
working it, and these have taken up
a great deal of the land. The big-
gest operations in the neighborhecal
are being camied on by a South
African aompany, which owns toe
practically -controls all the claims
within that fifty -mile radius that
the Guggenheims do not control.
"In the days of the gold rush a
man would .stake his clainal which
would run 500 feet:. The moment
he got that worked down to low
grade he 1V&S up against a proposi-
tion that required dredges ancl hy-
draulic machinery to work on a
profitable basis. The majority of
small claimholders sold out, and
some gave options. A few are gin
holding out for their prices. The
Government gives a man the right
bo hold his claim so long as $200
worth of work is dona on it in a
year.
"But the %situation at Dawson
dos not strid the Klondike for the
prospector by any means. I should
say that part of Yukon territory is
still in its infancy as a gold pro-
ducer, in .spite •of the millions that
have beeu taken out. The great
difficulty ha,s been flatting into, the
interior. Small bTiabs go up the
'streams new for hundreds of ,miles,
but still there are regions practi-
cally unpeotected. In the past few
years the Canadian Government
has helped transportation by glib-
sidizing these emit, and this makes -
it possible for miners to carry up
their grub in tho fall and -continuo
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. Prom Dawson to
White Horse ±5 ±8 410 miles, .,and
there aro numerous regions on both
,sides of the way that never have
been prospected."

HOW EARTH IS DRYING.
Number of Lakes in Zurich 200
Tears Ago, 149, Now 76.
When water is recomposed by
radium or by ultra -violet rays it
produces hydrogen a,nd peroxide of
hydrogen, and it &me not form
oxygen. Electrolytic clecomposie
time farms oxygen.
A German investigator leases a
new theory relatingeto the drying
of the earth on the fact that one
form of decomposition pie:dm:es
'oxygen, while the ether 30ZIII does
not, Part of the water vapor emit-
ted by the -seas is elecomposed by
the ultraviolet rays eV -the sun;
the hydrogen farmed rises toward
the high atmospheric strata, and all
She water does not return to, the
surface. Therefore, the quantity
of water on the face of the globe is
always diminishing, and the earth
is Momently, if gradually, drying.
To cite one example: On the
north eicle of the Alps there is a
continual felling off in the depth
of the lakes and a gradual forma-
tion of swamps. Two hundred and
fifty yews ago there were 149 lakes
in the canton of Zurich ; to-daY
there are 76. The destruction of
the forests a,ne1 the cultivation of
the land partially explain this, but
the loss -of hydrogen is an impor-
tant fecter. The hydrogen accumu-
lated in the 'higher atmosphere is
diffused in interetellar space.

A concrete milk.htruse
m kes milk worth rklore
EOPLE are willing to pay more
for milk that comes from a clean,
sanitary dairy. In nearly every
city such dairies charge from 50 per cent, to
100 per cent. more than others—and even then
they can't supply the demand for pure, high-
• grade milk. You will get more value out of
your cows if you properly cool and store the
milk. Such milk is not only more wholesome
—and therefore can be sold for a better price
--it is also slower to sour than milk handled by ordinary methods. Ask for the free book,
