Alaska Oeutral Builds 45
Miles of Track
Work on the Alaska Central rail
way is making progress in a manner
entirely satisfactory to the manage
ment of I hat r?ad.
The track-laying will stop for the
winter. Beyond the forty-fifth mile
mark to the five tunnels on the Bfty
s^cond mile lies ao almost continuous
stretch of heavy rock work, which will
not be completed much ahead of the
tunnels. The contractor expects to
have the tunnels bored in seven
months. That will enable the compa
ny to lay trac'v to Turnagain Arm by J
the beginning of summer next year.
Beyond the head of Turnagain Arm,
where the road will again reach tide- '
water after crossing a low chain of j
hills, lie miles of continuous rock
work at the water's edge.
\Vbi:e making the survey for the
railroad more than one luckless engin
eer lost his footing on the slippery
cliffs and tumbled into the bay. No
l.ves have bem lost, and the accidental
plungers have always been fished out
bv co n pan ions, thou ;h often with
bruises which required surgical care.
The same opportunity for a sea-water
plunge will be constantly within reach
of the knights of the drill and pick who
go to make the roadway.
Several hundred men will work all
the winter on that part of the road,
and will increase the number in the
spring to the limit that can be worked
to advantage. They es[>ect to finish
the contract in a year, so that soon af
ter that time track can be laid over it |
and beyond, round Knik Arm and away j
into the valley of the Susitna river,
where a race against time will begin to
get into the wonderful Tananna region.

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Hone From Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature !
It is. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering: for how poignant would be Its
grief to discover. In the height of Its i
blooming glory, that a canker fed at Its
heart. . ind that Its beauty and fragrance !
were doomed forever. Nature always'
spares the suffering; she Is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years

A Realistic Picture
[Original.]
Lucy and I had been back from out
wedding trip but five days when we
had a violent quarrel. Never in my
life had I been so shocked, so horrified.
We had known each other ten years
with nothlug more serious between us
than a few lovers' spats, and now that
we were united for Ufe we had made
the discovery that we were Incom
patible. X saw In store for us a series
of outbursts lasting through a lifetime.
I hastened to niy frieud Merriaui? a
singular friend for a man of twenty
five, since he was seventy? to pour my
trouble Id his ear.
"What Is it, Billy?" he asked sym
pathetically.
"We have quarreled," X replied, al
most in tears.
"Well," he said, with a smile, "did
you expect to go through life billing
and coolug?"
"No, but I have always been used
after a quarrel with any friend to be
the first to offer my hand and make It
all up. I would have despised the man
who would refuse to meet me half
way."
" "Tiie man,' yes, but did you always
meet with such response from wo
man?"
"I never had such quarrels with
women. I was not sufficiently inti
mate'wlth any of them."
"Ah, there's the difference. A man
never becomes as Intimate with anoth
er man as with a woman. Besides, a
woman is not a man. Sit down, light
your pipe, and i'll tell you what I have
never confided to any one before.
"My marriage, like yours, was a love
match. I had had a great many men
friends and one man chum. The night
after our return from our wedding trip
X took up my hut to go out. 'Where
are you going?' asked my wife. 'I'm
going rouud to Tom Noyes' for a few
mluutes Just to say "How d'you do?"
after my absence.' 'And you expect me
to spend the evening here alone on the
first night after our return? If Tom is
to take you so early, what will be the
result after you have begun to get tired
of meT 'I didn't suppose marriage
meant giving up my best friend.' But
what need to give a dialogue that led
up to a violent quarrel?
"It was very plain to mo that if I
had tried to find the most unreasonable
woman In the world I could not have
better succeeded. At first after our
quarrels we made a great ado about
making up, but pretty soon we sulked
after the paroxysms, growing less and
less sulky every hour till tranquillity
was restored. At times I would apolo
gize for what I had done and occasion
ally for what I had not done, but after
awhile I discovered that the best way
was to Ignore the causes of our difficul
ties entirely. They were all shocks re
sulting from the efforts of two currents
to blend.
"I did not spring from the grub bach
elor into the butterfly married man.
It took a long while to change me. As
the years went by I let go more aud
more my bachelor instincts and devel
oped those of a husband and father.
A new world was growing Into exist
ence for me. For a time I did not re
alize how fully I had become a part of
it. and at times cast longing eyes back
to my bachelor Independence. But the
day came at last when I looked upon
my bachelorhood as an undeveloped ex
istence in which the heart had no part
and my own sweet will was the current
in which I drifted aimlessly.
"Then came children to live and chil
dren to lose. Each child was like a
tender shoot springing from my heart
Those who passed from us are as dear
today as those who lived. In the fam
ily, with all its cares, its responsibili
ties, its griefs, we found the only hap
piness that never died.
"And now that those of our children
who have lived have left us to form
their own worlds we are alone to
gether, as we were when the current
of our lives first met and mingled.
Do you suppose we never quarrel? If
you do, you are mistaken. But we
know that our quarrels are a part of
our Imperfect natures, and we accept
them as we accept our other ills. Thus
wc do not magnify the evil they do.
which Is In Itself Insignificant."
"Frank," called a sharp, querulous
voice from another room, "are you go
ing to talk all day?"
"What do you want, dear?"
"You know very well that I have
been wanting to speak to you about
something of Importance for half an
hour."
"I'll be with you In a moment Don't
get Into a stew about nothing."
I pressed the old man's hand and
withdrew. It seemed to me that In his
brief story and the bit of sequel con
tained In the few words I had heard
he had given me a picture of what my
life would likely be. The romances I
had read of the happy period of young
love, the beautiful drifting together of
two souls, a gradual decline without
chafing, all seemed to me to be Incom
patible with our Imperfect natures.
Beautiful examples there doubtless are,
but when a consciousness of my own
Imperfections loomed up before me I
bad no hope that mine would be one
of them. G6ing home, I found my
newly wedded wife and said to her:
"Lucy, I have Just been talking with
my old friend Mr. Merrlam, and he
has said things that I expect are true."
"What did he say?"
"He said that I must gradually get
over my bachelor habits. I must be
gin to live a far different life."
"I should think so."
"And he says that you and I must
expect occasionally to have a little tiff,
you know"?
"Certainly we will if you continue to
act unreasonably. Dinner has been
getting cold for an hour."
I sighed. There were parts of the
burden that I would have to bear
alone. StTMNER CHILDS.
