May Gat Freight
Seattle, March 2l? By a new agree
ment. the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company will carry freight on through
bills of lading to Dawson this season.
Last week came the announcement
that an agreement had been entered
into between the Alaska Steamsnip
Company a-?d the White Pass X- Yukon
route to handle all the through bus
iness. Now it is understood that the
Pacific Coast Swam -hip Company will
?et a share of the business on an agree
ment about to be entered into.
When the Alaska Steamship Assoc's
tion broae up some months ago steam
ship men realized there no doubt would
b> a fight for bus'nesa 011 the South
eastern Alaska run. Later on came
the announcement of the contract
beiw'een the Alaska .Steanlship Com- 1
pany and the White Pass Jfc Yukon,
and no* announcement is made I
that the Pacific Coafit Steamship
Company will get its share of the 1
butinrss.

Bros., but rumor now has it that tne i
Canadian Pac'fic Steamship Company,
as well as the Alaska and Pacific Coast
Steamship Comwanies will have
freight to carry on through bill* of
lading.

ON BOARD THE I
FLIER.
' By Marion 'Benton
Copyright, MM, bjr E. C. Part-ells
I ??We'll take those three Mis. I stm
I pose it's the best you cau do. Law
I rence, yon sit there. No. no? on this
j side. There's ;t draft on that side."
'"But i want to see the river," said
the elderly man nMenjlously and with
a gesture akin to throwing aside a de
taining hand, though his florid and
overdressed wife had not laid so much
as a finger tip on his arm.
"1 tell yon there's a draft on that
?ide." she said sharply.
-Well, you don't want to sit In a
draft either," persisted her husband.
"No; Emily ran sit there. She Is
young. r>rafts won't hurt her."
David Marston raised his paper sud
denly to hide the stnile that -would
come. He was sitting on the draftj
side. too. right behind the chair In the
parlor -car which had raised the dis
cussion. ne, too, wanted to see the
Hudson, the l'alisades and other poiuts
of interest of which he had read anil
which he was enjoying for the first
time.
"Where Is Emily?" asked the hits
band, uow settled unwillingly in tht
chair selected for hitu.
| "She's making sure that there's s
alee man in the baggage car to look
after the dogs. She'll be along in 8
minute."
By this time l>av!d Marston was no?
the only passenger interested In the Co
mestlc drama. Every man and wom.iu
in the car had bid aside pai>er or book,
roused to attention by the piercing
tones and dominating bearing of the
woman. The shrill speech might ha\e
been forgiven on the plea that the hus
band was evidently very deaf. The
manner was less forgivable. Newly
acquired riches were stamped all over
the tightly laced, middle aged figure
The characterless face, due to much
electric massaging, spoke of hours
spent with beauty experts. Her frocl;.
wrap and hat shrieked, "Farls."*
Evidently the couple were going
back to New York after a brief staj
at their lodge in the fat-skills. for the
limited had stopi>ed at the small town
close to fashiouable mountain fast
nesses ou special orders.
"You don't think anything will hap
pen to Emily trying to cross the plat
forms V" asked the man anxiously.
"It's a vestibuled train!" shrieked
Ills wife. "I told her to stay until all
three of the dogs had been properl}
chained. Y"U remember the time wt
came? Oh. there she Is;"
There was much craning of necks a.>
the third member o> this Interestln;
party came through the narrow pas
sageway around the drawing room
Her advent promised further enter
tainment to travel t>ored passengers
Only one of the hitter did not cran't
his neck, lie simply sat stariug at the
girl, h is hands gripped hard on tile
arms of the chair.
She wa< a slender, refined looking
girl, dressed in black from her dull
calfskin ties to her stiffly tailored trav
eling hat. At her throat and wrists
were fine linen bands. Marston recall
ed with a shudder that a maid who
had opened the door for him at a fash
louable I 'diver home had worn Just
such a black frock with white bands.
The girl carried a bundle of enne-,
umbrellas and golf sticks. As she
tilted them in the corner lieside the
elderly man she said something to him
which he seemed to hear, though slit
did not follow his wife's example and
raise her voice. He settled back with j
a contented air.
"There's your chair. Kmiiy." saui im
woman. waviug tier biiuil uoruss tin
?isle. Tlie girl turned, stepi>ed acrosi
the aisle. looked at Marstou, caught
her breath sharply and sank into her
chair, wliicb she wheeled so that her
back was turned squarely upon him.
By this time 1 'avid had recovered
thought and speech. lie rose, delib
erately walked iu front of the girl aud
extended his hand
"Don't tell me that a rnert trifle like
a beard makes me unrecognizable. Em
ily. I should hove known you even if
you had dyed your hair."
The girKs hand lay limply in his,
then she pulled herself together and
withdrew it.
"Oh. I knew you at once. But thf
shock"?
"Precisely. It was a shock to me
to And you with them."
The gesture was slight, but Emily
Hunt knew what he meant, and her
cheeks crimsoned.
"I can explain"?
"Let me turn your chair around so
we can talk." Marston suggested, and
a moment later they sat side by side,
facing the river batik, their backs to
Miss Emily's employer, who sniffed in
baffled curiosity aud gnzeil their way
I through a jeweled lorgnon.
"Oh. the story is short euough." said
[ Emily bitterly. "Selliug daubs and
j teaching youngsters in a Colorado town
and making good with your brush in
New York city are entirely different
I propositions. I saw it was starvation
i or real wotk and so"?
"Being companion to a woman of her
caliber is real work, ell
I "She is really very kind at heart and
1 Mr. Maguire is just lovely to me."
j At this Juncture Mr. Maguire was
i shaken with a violent coughing spell.
"Emily," exclaimed Mrs. Maguire
?handy, "where's the eougli medicine?"
But Emily Hunt was alreedy digging
into her employer's bag.
Deftly siie poured the medicine and
turned to bring a glass of water.
Marstou was at her heels, his own
drinking enp filled to the hrini.
"Thanhs Mr. Maguire took such ?
