MOUNTAIN LION
NEAR CASILE
She was ? very captivating school
mistress from the Windy City ? he an
artist from the east. They met by
chance in the dining rooms of a pop
ular hotel and bectme friends very
quickly.
It was proposed to go up In the
evening ami enjoy the beautiful scen
ic effects about Castle Kern. As it
sometimes happens ? or as it most of
ten occurs under such circumstances
time did not linger with faltsrinjr foo5
steps, but hastened the hours about
At once it dawned upon them that it
was time to seek the city ? the atten
dant at the castle offered the hospi
tality of the place ? tout they couldn't
think of accepting. It would never,
never, never do.
It was growing dusk as they Ivaile
the attendant good night at the bridt^
below the falls, declining his gnldan<a
down to the bluff below the mill pondj
The herolr artist said in an earnest
voice that he would take his charge
safely back, new fear.
Approaching the collection of small
cabins near the little lake, the pair
lost their way ? or the trail leading
from the main road had refused to
reveal itself. Por hours ? it was
quite dark now ? they paced up and
down the road waiting for daylight
to appear.
HOR-R -R-RORSIM!
Something was moving nearby ? quick
ly the hero climbed to the roof of the
small building from which the noise
of the monster emanated. ' Hurry,
close the doorV cried Algernon. "It
may be a bear or a mountain lion."
Priscllla complied with his request.
Then. und??r careful direction of
the hero, she marched sentlnel-llke
up and down the path while he, from
his point of vantage, searched con
stantly for other wild beasts After
a time the dawn tame and Prlscilla.
calling to the hero that the trail was
now visible, he clambered down from
his perch. As he did so a small!
squirrel ran out from a small aper- '
ture In the cabin. The new terror
hastened their steps toward the bluff
At 4 a. m. a very vexed young wo
man and a Jaded looking young
man(?) sought their separate hotels
In quest of rest The object of their ,
terror still Inhabits the cabin. i
A private telegram received here i
early this week from Dawson, says the,
Whitehorse Star, states that small
pox has developed on the Porcupine !
The telegram reads:
"J. D. Craig, director of the ("ana- j
dian Boundary Survey, wired Commis
sioner Wilson last nijrht that smallpo
had broken out at Rampart house and
the telegram requested that members
of the Royal N. \V. M. P., be sent to
establish a quarantine, as there were
fully 100 Indians in that vicinity. A j
doctor with the American survey part
has been placed In charge of the sit
uation, but vaccine points are reques?
ed from this place, also a trained
nurse. Three hundred vaocine points
and a trainee! nurse have been sent
from Dawson, also a member of the
police ftorce. The survey launch will
: meet the constable and nurs? at Fort
Yukon j
Rampart House is about 250 mik?|
up the Porcupine river from the Yu
kon and Is at the Canadian- American
boundary nea.r where the two survey
parties are establishing the boundary
line this season. In the two parties
are about 150 men. But very few
whites reside in that part of the coun
try.
J. D. Craig is in charge of the Can
adian party and Thomas Riggs, Jr..
j is in charge of the American party.

"Percy," said his father sorrowfully.
; 'Tercy, yon have been fighting again."
"Yes, father," said Percy.
"And yon have lost the flght. Percy.
I That la worse than anything. When I
was a boy, Percy, I always won. 1
had a system by which I always con
trived to get In the first blow."
"1 did that, father."
j "tYill, yon did It badly. By my sys
! tern I always hit the boy fairly on the
point of the ,1a w. My system never
failed."
"Yes. father, bot suppose when yon
hit the boy on the point of his jnw he
fell Into a pile of bricks and got up
with a brick In each hand, how would
you hare continued your system when
you were a boy?"
"Tercy," saiil his father, "yon seem
to have a quarrelsome disposition. Let
yonr defeat be a lesson to you. Now
run away and play."? Pearson's.

She Mid Khf hud iin psjieclal rvn?on for

took a train lo make the visit. On
reaching the station I was n?t n

I conveyance to tne-'t mr. I colluded to

to Inquire the way and wan put on to a j
i short root*, nt the end of which I c<<nld

arrival I climbed a fern* and walked
some three or four hiindn-d ynrd* to
a cltitnp of trees. which was *0 invlt

Right In the middle there wan awiiuc
a hammock, ami Id the hammock lay a

enough to mnke yon lur? her."
"I dare say." I replied, with proper
pollleneaa.
W!wi I was presented to Miss Edith
Greer I felt the (|;llt of Judna Iscartot
welling up In me I grew red ami pale
by turtts. I stammered out a few
words that didn't mean anything. I
sat down before she or Mrs JVroth |

Tbe fact that tbe young lady dis
played no such embarrassment as she
might have done bad she been ?ensl j
ble of the kiss I had stolen, that she
neither appeared shocked nor Indig

I found ber rather too unsophisticated:
but. as Mrs. Southwlck had said, ber
modesty was her chlcf charm As I '
noticed tbla I shuddered at the enor
mlty of my offense In pressing those
pure lips with mine and gave frequent
(banks that the piracy had not been
detected.
Mrs. Soutbwick made tbe match she

way was that tbe yonng lady was no

?icrllege to me to propose to her. I
finally got out a proposition, nnd.
though at first she said she was too I
young and too Inexperienced to trust i
herself to any man. alnoe she regard j
?d me the soul of honor she would
commit herself to my keeping.
