' On Pine creek, Messrs. Robinson ��� and Svutzer," representing-Phlla- delphia capital, ha\e acquired a large area of the beneli" ground? frouliug on "Willow"Parle."^ -This ground has been the 4 scene of considerable activity during the ..last, three winters with profitable returns ;.,to the ,operators..,.,The price paid to the bvviiers, we understand, < has been highly satisfactory.'

The Not in Columbia Gold Mining Co , a comparatively new or- gamzatton, besides the acquisition of the Vellow Jacket and Lock ol Ages'miueial claims, on the liist of this mouth took -a sub-lease oi the Stevend) ke ground, owned by the Steveudyke,' Hydiaulic > Mining Partneiship, of which Mr. D.

Deu:.iston and Switzer, in the interest of Ka&teru capitalists, have purchased a large area of valuable placer ground on 'tSpruce creek, embraciog nearly all tuat territory from the second canyon above discovery claim up to and including the Blue Canyuii property. For several weeks the new owners have been exploiting the ground with a Keystone steam driller, and "lave obtained excellent prospects throughout the whjle property. Bedrock was found to reach a depth of 57 feet, but the upper strata all contains gold in sufficieut quantity to pay the cost of removal, while the value ol the bedrock strata will bring the average per cubic yard to a high value.

"Mayor Keller's decision as to the future of the Atlin district is that of every man of intelligence who visits that country. Atliu will be one ot the names to conjure with by those of the future who write or talk of the production of gold." Dr. Keller, who spent several weeks here, has the following good words to say about Atliu and his visit: "Atlin's good times are for the future���immediate future, I might say. They are good there now and ha/e been so for a long time;���as a hydraulic camp, there is nothing in the North to compare with the Atlin district One thing that will count' for much iu the development of Atliu district is the character of the people. I never saw a better crowd oi fellows in my life. That applies to those living at Atlin, at Discovery and on the creeks. Will Hold Meeting at ^Nugget Hall, "Discovery.

EL Hodder, Six- Q teen-th Baptist Church, G ' New York. -Emmanuel���God with us.���Matthew, 1.,, a. ��� The secret of joyi and peace lies i�� file fact that we all (believe in a pre sent and not an absent God. . It is this which' brings comfort U our hearts, which giii's us security in the promise of eternal redemption and places before lis the loving side of -"our Vather's" character. By virtue of this declaration we can more fully realize God with and within the souls of men. Not with us merely in loving mercy or care, or providence, or piotection, but with us as one of us. The delight in thinking of what has been done for us in the ages past, for "even from everlasting to everlasting thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations," is enhanced by the thought of what God is now doing���that He still lives ami rules and dwells among jnen, bringing all things to pass for the uplifting of his children to Himself. Moreover, we are led to rejoice1 in the larger revelation of God, for each footprint grows more distinct as one follows another., As there have been always in existence rthe electrical powers of nature, but not revealed fully until man reached intellectual strength sufficient to lay hold upon* their energy and utilize them for his best interests. so God 'has revealed 'Himself as men grew into larger life and light. More and more God has made Himself known through prophets of old, through the life aid words and death of Christ, through saints and martyrs to the cause of righteousness and truth We lejoice in the fact of "Emmanuel��� God with us," written on the page of history and in' th~* hearts of men. Qur God lives and dwells among us now. The thought of "Emmanuel" ought to make us biave ��� The abiding presence of God should give us courage, faith and hope, for "if God be for us," and with us, "Who can be against us?' No temptation need be too s'trong to be conquered, no difficulty need be too hard to be surmounted, no soi row need cause us to bury our hearts and lives in the graves of,our'loved ones, for it will eventually be with us as with them "From grief and groan, with a golden \ crown, close by the tin one of God" God in us will graduate our strength for every experience Of life ��� through which we shall pass, and omnrp_otpnt power will be under every care and burden. Thus we may bravely go into, ^life's .work as warriors to battle. Orlr j5a'tKer7 having taken our cause to His heart, ought to bring a similar action from us in His behalf. For there is a gieat battle on between righteousness and unrighteousness. The trumpet which musters the warriors soundeth loud and long, and the fight will be stern and desperate between truth and sin. We must take our post, every one, on one side or the other, for "If the Lord be God, follow Him ; but if Baal, then follow him." No touch or though* of compromise; no division of the living child, as in the days of Solomon, by a wicked woman ; no acceptance of a particle of error, for "if God be for us, who can ���be' against us ?" Thus be brave in the word, "Emmanuel���God with us." The thought of "Emmanuel" ought to is ike us good and true to each other. The human family is bound together in Him who gives us out daily bread, not only for the, body, but for the soul also, and bids us be breakers of bread with our fellowman, help ing those who have need to share out blessings. There is a noble family in Italy whose name of Fiangipanni means breakers of bread���that is, foi the poor. So ought we by the God dwelling nature, if not by name, break bread 'unto those who are poor in spirit if not poor in body. For thus alone can we give something to Him "who freely giveth us all things." In this world of sorrow there are some who know not the sweet peace ot the indwelling presence of God. Then eyes have become blind by the glare of temporal things ; their lives-tare fill ed with the husks of this world. Here in this wide world of sin-sick souls the God in us should go out to them Our Father would dwell in their hearts and lives as in -*'irs. He would have them be "sons -<f God." But do thej see the revelation of God in us ? Are our bodies, o ���' commercial transactions, our social circle such that men see the dwelling place of the Most High and covet the blessing we hold i God shows Himself in a multitude of wavs and yet is always the self same Father. So will He manifest Himself in the varied ways of men, through a wide range of activities from the cup of cold water gi\en "in His name" up to the accomplishment of larger things for men. God re vealei in us "to will and do of His good pleasure" is to bring men back to their largest portion. This revela tion is in earthen vessels "through whom God aforetime spoke" and speaks to-day. If the night is dart our God's abiding light will enable us to scatter it. If the road be rough and dreary our God., who dwelleth in us, will assist us to make it smooth and plain. If sin has pressed out brother hard our God will provide s way of escape and eternal redemption. So we need never say, Where is 0111 For the Farmer. j Old, musty hay should be used for bedding only. Duiing the summer season there is nothing better for horses than1 to cut a few armfuls of grass in the morning and allow it to wilt during the day. If fed at night it will be found much moie palatable than' the hay from last year's crop. Many horses' are supposed to lose appetite for 'hay when the dilficulty is only due to their rejection of old matcnal. A good many fanners are looking into the Angora question with considerable interest. I he goat docs not interfere* with the pasturage of cattle and sheep, as he is a browser and not a grazer.

This difference m the quality of the fruit may have been due to inferior packing, onto the fact that the second packer was working in an inferior district, but, in, any case the advantage to the exporter of having a check on the work of his packets is quite apparent Sartorial Shortcomings of Painters. "A cheap preparation which will keep flies off horses in pasture is'made by mixing crude caibolic acid with fish oil, in the proportion of two table- spoonfuls of caibolic acid to one quart of oil," says a horseman. "This should be applied to those paits which the animal cannot icacli with its head or tail. The preparation, can be applied to the young foals as well as the brood mares. Crude carbolic acid should be used, as it is stronger than the solution,usually sold by diuggistb." Always give horses water before feeding, whether moining, noon, or night. Do this, because a 'horse will digest his food better, be stiongei, and will last the longer for it. Colic or acute indigestion, a common' and often fatal trouble with'horses, is avoided by watering befoie feeding. But three times a day is not oftcnf enough to water horses when at woili and in hot weather. Five or six times a day is not too often under such condition** and the horse 'is' bcttci, fresher, and can do more without-'injury to itscit if wateied often. When O. N.

BENEDICT. ��� A Thrilling 'Story of Love and Adventure* i* We have seen that Anthony Saybrook' 'had anticipated the outbreak of war. Bo certain was he of it, that his plans , 'a.nd schemes for months past had been ttlmost entirely governed by the anticl- Satlon of its speedy occurrence. Po- tlcally, he belonged to the party that opposed such an extreme course as war, Mid sneered at its advocates as "French sympathizers.^' Personally, however, Mr. Saybrook was not a man to let his political prejudices interfere with his Interests in any,way. With the young ,heir of Rolff House away in Europe, jtnd himself holding mortgages on por- ' tlons of the estate, and with fraudulent Heeds 'in his hands covering the most raluable parts of the property, a war ji'ould'furnish an opportunity to carry ��ut his schemes at his leisure and witn the utmost chance 'of safety. 'Thore- "ore, though in his public utterances,' find In his letters to Claude, tho lawyer ' had deprecated 'war and affected to-j loubt Us probability, at heart he was >ager 'to have it occur, and strongly,. convinced that Its outbreak was inevitable. , - 11 So Joy was brought to the household * ��f the Saybrooks, when, with the early , Jay's of summer, the tardy mail biought the news of the,actual declaration of -tzar against England. < , "You see, Ralph," remarked the elder Saybiook, after they had carefully read ivery word refeiring to the all-lmpor- ta-nt topic contained In the _ modest news letter which brought * the good ' Sews, "that my throw has been a successful one, even if It was risky, and we Isave won our game. Ah, my dear boy, 5 never did a finer piece'of wonk'in my,, fe. This news clears every obstacle from our path, and the extent to which l?e shall take advantage of our opportunity rests entirely within our own Hiscretion. The war the administratron tk *as plunged into will not be a short |j( " itne, I opine. There is no doubt that rt ���will be continued till the country is jretty well exhausted and the war jpirlt of the people1 has evaporated, and that means three or four years, in my, ��� Jpinion, at the least. Look at our bhance. Claude is in Europe, arid there Is no possible1 chance of his either get- ling back to this country or communl- )atlng with It in any way while the war"1 lasts. The mortgages are so drawn , (hat they can be closed up at the end' if a year; and I have the deeds, you know, covering the homestead and ad- Joining property, "all regularly drawn Jnd signed, and nobody to question ttreir validity while he is absent. "What ��� to prevent our taking advantage of mr good fortune, and coming into pos- - tession of the Rolff property? Nothing, that I see, unless It is our own Bmidity. And why should we be timid? It is not likely that Fortune will ever >ffer us another such a chance. Tho fisk Is comparatively small. I am in , favor of taking the fullest" advantage ���if our posltlori,L(and of acting prompt- i ty." ^ j "But what If he should come back?" isked Ralph. - i "Well," replied the parent, "I don't Slink he la very likely to come back at 111. Still, the question is a farr one, and (p-ill bear consideration. Suppose tho Var ends In a year or two, and he tomes back to find us in possession of Rolff House. He can bring suit,1 of lourse, but what can he prove? The bortgages will have matured, and wo rhall be the purchasers. As for tho feeds, there is no possible ground to f (hallenge their regularity, i His only (ourse would be a suit to dispossess on Ihe ground of fraud; but with what lhance of success? Our defence would Ite that the deeds were given as collate iral security for money furnished, and ie has absolutely no testimony to offer igainst us but his own. Don't you see kow beautifully all my plans have been wranged? I can see no possible chance for failure. The probabilities all ara Ihat Claude will soon be left penniless )m "Europe, and, by the time he is afford- Id a chance to return to this country, t thousand things may have happened lo take him out of our way. The long- ��r he Is away, the better for us, of lourse; but, In any event, as soon as ���fre are in full possession of the prop- ��rty I am ready to take the chance of ��ur keeping it." "I quite see the weight of your arguments," replied Ralph, "and, of couise, I'm in favor of a bold course. When -will you record the deeds?" "Oh, there Is no immediate hurry," ���van the reply. "It will be well to wait Hie turn of events for a few weeks. .My only object In hastening at all Is to advance you in old Bruyn's favor. As jooon as you are the recognized heir of 'Rolff House, you need worry no more aver your interests in that direction." L "I don't worry." replied Ralph. f "Well, I am glad of it," was the reply. "Nothing is so sure to win the favor of Fortune as a cool and brave front You have but to be cautious and .���persistent, my boy, to win." I "I intend to be," asserted Ralph. * p "No doubt, no doubt," responded the "M*er; "and the prize is worthy of the ���blithest effort. You must win, Ralph."

She pei- torrnod hoi accustomed duties with her usual alacrity, and pei'iaps with more than her usual consclent'ous care: but the light of happy content had gone from her sweet face arid the buoyancy from her step. For daV3 (and weeks she had wrestled with the doubts and 'burmises that had'thionged continually, upon her, and this mental anxiety and conflict could not but ll>a\o its impios- Blon. But, through it nil, she had not given up her faith In Claude. She was resolved ,that she would not question his fidelity till she was, afforded be tier evidence than anything that co'Md come to her through tho int trumpntnllty of Anthony'Saybrook She was suofiK- ly Impelled to the bellcJ. that the defa- ���0.U00Q pf Claude and tlie' pei'.Isteiit pressing of Ralph Saybiook's sult'wcre parts of the same plot, unci a thousand explanations thronged to her mind to excuse Claude's strange letter, which, as she recalled Its win els, seemed to her too ambiguous r and too much Hko ^tho high-flown expressions of one writing in a merry, mischievous mood,, to be an acutal' confession, of falseness and guilt. She flattered her hopes with the thought that the letter'had been, drawn out by some subterfuge of tho wily lawyer, and was evidence only of Claude's light and gay spirit, which she well understood to be p'one to a certain recklessness of expression, easily mis-' 'understood. -Yet doubts would at times assail her, and the ceitainty that there was to be a long and peihaps'total separation, .and' that all chance of explanation was removed from her, caused her troubles to weigh most heavily upon her mind. Mrs. Bruyn's watchful ey? had detected her daughter's quiet, unconles=ed grief, and 'she was the obiect ol her anxious solicitude. Yet even she was unaware of the real nature and depth of her sorrow. The good lady had rn an .unwilling and half-heai ted way admitted what seemed to her the overwhelming evidence of Claude's falsity. The absolute convictions of her nus- band had gradually broken down her "last defence of the young man, and she was ,faln to admit the guilt she could not explain. This belief created a \s-i-v- .rler'as It were between her and her daughter, and prevented her offering the consolation which would have been admissable* had there boen a more 'direct sympathy In then views of the matter. , By 'her very position, Mrs. Bruyn was forced to st^nd midway between her husband'and daughter; and she deemed it best, urder the clicum- stances, to let Rosa's grief quietly wear Itself out. She was little aware, indeed, of the real depth of the wound'that had been inflicted, so calm and patient was the brave girl's demeanor, but she could note the altered appeal ance and demeanor, and her anxiety and sympathy; were deeply excited. , ' Ralph Saybrook continued his calls at farmer Bruyn's, and his attentions to Rosa, . So delicate and circumspect was his conduct, however, that he had really made a quite favorable impression upon Mrs. Bruyn, and even Rosa was forced to treat him with a consideration that she would gladly perhaps have accepted the opportunity to withhold/- But the fact was, that so well had he Ingratiated himself in the old farmer's good'opinion, and so caic- ful was he net to allow Rosa any opportunity to take or show- offense without doing inJustice*to her natural goodness of heart, that he had greatly strengthened his position as a suitor for her hand without her being really aware of it. At times the thought of the wrong that had been done to Claude smote her heart, yet she had no ground save her own suspicions to accuse the Saybrooks of a plot to injure her lover, and her nature was too guileless and too generous to take the risk of doing Injustice upon mere conjecture. Thus ever-recuurrlng grief and doubt lay at the heart of the unhappy girl; and the fact that there seemed no orrs In whom she could confide, and that everybody appeared drawn into the plot to thwart her wishes, caused hei sorrows to weigh more heavily"upon her heart than they otherwise would It seemed to her continually that if thero were only some one to whom she could talk about her sorrows, if she only knew some friend of Claude's of whom she could simply inqurre his welfare, even though It were to ask In vain, it would be some relief to the intense strain of anxiety and grief. So It was with a sudden emotion of Joy that, one day, as she was watering her cherished flower-bed in the front yard, she saw the familiar form of old Carl CrufltJ descending the road that led toward tf�� house from the village. It seemed strange thatsl.ehadnotthought of him. She knew that Claude had always highly esteemed the faithful,old man, and that he wa-3 devoted to the Rolff family, and she felt an irresistible desire to talk to him There was no reason for hesitation, for her father waa away from home, and she was familiarly acquainted with the kindly but eccentric old man, who had always petted her when ho met her since she was a little girl, and was" at all t'*nes as approachable by the young and Innocent as well could be. So Rosa unhesitatingly set down her watering pot, and hast- ' ened to the gate to intercept him rough, bearded face us he drew neai. "Good day, Mr. Cium," said Rosa, .with courtesy. "Ah, good day, my rosebud," replied! old Carl as he took her hand and pressed it In his horny paw. "Let me look at you," ,he added, as he adjusted his spectacles. "Yes, yes, I see���your face has grown older and thinner; and there Is a.trace of; trouble in it, I farcy. It's the .way., of the world, and a sad world It Is for the good and the pure. It . ought to be some years yet before'your face should show care, my pretty one." "I have good reason for trouble," ie- plied Rosa, with a simple frankness. that Indicated her entiie absorption in the object of her quest. "I thought I would speak to you, Mr Cram, to learn .whether you had heard from Claude Bince he went away." < J The old man stroked his head a moment as If in troubled thought. ' "I hear from Mm?" he answered. "Yes, yes, rosebud, lo my sorrow. You know I am In disgrace at Rolff'Ilouse.^ He wiote me dismissing me from the lie-use���that is all. But you surely have heard from the young master, and I would fain enquire news of him of you." "Not a word have I heard fiom him Bince he left here," replied Rosa, with Just a hint in her tones of the anxiety at her heart." , "Indeed. Indeed," muttered the old man. "This Is strange���strange. But ���why do I say'stwuige, when the graceless villain, Anthony Saybrook, has had the influencing of master Claude's ���mind? There seems no evil Influence , that he is incapable of exerting, and no scheme of villainy so desperate but that he succeeds In it.

So the fraudulonl deeds were recoided, and the little com. munity was soon afforded full confirmation of all its suspicions of the oyei a- tionsof theshrewd.unscrupulous lawjer Anthony Saybrook took occasion to explain publicly how it was that^he came, to be the owner of Rolff House His .explanation was to the effect'tliat Claude had wanted money on any terms and al any price; he had furnished It, and. oi course had taken the best security lis could get, which was secui Irg of the deeds in questron, and he shrcwdlv explained that he had not designed to use the deeds so soon, but as war had broken out, and all hope of the young heir returning to ledeern nis premises had been thwarted, he had hastened his possession of the house because it was without an occupant, he bemg ur> able to get any one to Irve la it, and tl-' pTace was going to deca^ and needed supervision and repair. This explanatroh proved satisfactory to most people. They saw only^that tho lawyer had been afforded a rare,chance 'to' enrich himself at the expense of the foolish young heir, and they 'did not question the means now that it was evident he had the property safely enough 4n his possession and would 'be the richest and most powerful man in' the section. v ~ On no one did-this transaction make ewer. "But Pmlght have written him when-1 saw the vllhany unmasking; and IJdid not I thought what right had I-to be Interfering in'the affairs of my betters, and which; perhaps I did not undei stand.

'The old farmer was himself of the most rugged honesty in all money matters, and ?t the bottom" of his heart he despised the means by which Claude had been cheated out of his - inheritance; r but" h"e~was of too worldy-wise and money-loymg a nature to trouble hrrn- sttlf much" about the moi al aspect of tho matter. 1 He could see plainly that from the turn events had taken, young- Ralph Saybiook would be the richest young man in the neighborhood, and the heir of lands that'he piized far more than their money 'value, and, as he had really taken a fancy, to him. he became decidedly interested in seeing hrs suit with Rosa prosper. ��� �� It had not prospoied so far, spite of all the persrstence, subseivrencKTarid ar ts of the young man.

"No, no," replied the old man, " 'tis too long a walk for you to come down to the ferry; and I must needs berupi to the village during the morning; and) it you will walk down toward Rolff ���House at nine o'clock you will find me there. It 1b some' sort of pleasure -for me to linger round the old house, though I may not enter it." 1 , In truth, old Carl did not aHow a day, to pass in which "e*7ery means of entrance to Rolff House was not carefully scrutinized by him. It caused him' great anxiety to see the house lonely and unguarded, and he took every means In his power to guard it as vigilantly as he could. Rosa wrote a long letter to Claude detailing her troubles and anxiety, the rumors that prevailed in regard to 'Anthony Saybrook's treachery, and her eusplclons In regard to the plot that had been put In motion to separate them, and next day, at the hour appointed, she wandered down toward Rolff House, where, at the gate, she found old Carl, who took her letter, and, telling her that he must hasten back, as his friend was to leare at once for the city, on a sloop that would sail that very day, turned and left her .With a cheery word to be of good heart 'And then, kneeling down on the soft greensward, In the shadow of the tall stone gateway, the fair girl prayed fervently that her letter might reach Its destination, and the clouds of sorrow, that surrounded her be dispersed. CHAPTER XX It waa not without some trepidation that Anthony Saybrook finally resolved on the bold step of recording the deeds Whloh would make him pratlcal master of Rolff House and a considerable por�� tion of the estate connected therewith.

He fully be�� A pleasant smile lit up the old man's ,,0ved that tljc chances were all In favof certain of success In the end if Claude did not return, which he was not likely to do while" thei war lasted. But tho elder Saybrook was not so philosophical over the matter. He felt the gravity of the step he had taken in using the fraudulent deeds, and wished to fortify his position in every possible way against all contingencies of the future. He saw that It would be a good stroke of fortune for Ralph tQ secure the only, daughter of the rich old farmer, and ho" was anxious to expedite matters so as *Fo prevent any possible lisk of failure from any unwlshed-lor developments, as well as to make sure of strengthening his position against any future legal troubles by the alliance with his rich neighbor. So Anthony Saybrook took every occasion to Interest the old farmer in Ralph's behalf, aittully seeking to excite his cupidity by frequent references to the old woods and the adjoinmg 1 meadow lands which he knew in the eyes of the old man weie one of the most tempting of prizes. These efforts had their effect on farmer Bruyn. He became more and more Interested in the project of the match , between Ralph and his daughter, and 'his Interest was not tho less because lie could see that Rosa was secretly sorrowing over her separation from Cl-rudo This latter fact especially worried tho old gentleman. To be sure, their spertr- ed no probability of C'audc ever returning to make trouble, out It angered htm to think that his daughter's affections should be wasted at all on such a priceless scamp. So he took trequunt occasion to commend and praise Ralph Saybiook in her hearing, and to let" bur know by what he no doubt consUWi-u* delicate hints that It would be phasilng to him to see her encouiage tho young man's suit. Rosa received all these indications of her father's wishes In silence. Tlrl.-i encouraged him to believe that she >vou!d speedily yield. Still, the days passed on, and Xlosa stow more quiet and sud, and Ralph's suit failed to make progrers. The old farmer began to be troubled "What alls you, chlid?" he said to her one day, as he entered the houeo and found her sitting sad and with tears stealing down her face by a window���so absorbed in her mood as not to have noticed hit! entrance. "Dunder and dounds, you're no longer my merry little girl. Crying for that scamp of a Claude Rolff, eh! For shame! He's no fiellow for a girl to cry her eyes out about���the rascal.

The mining season, just dosed, in Atlin has been marked by many changes, more particularly as regards methods of mining. The passing of placer claims from individuals miners to companies has likewise been a feature of the past season. A very large amount of outside capital has lound its way into the district while many of the' pioneer miners are taking themselves off to other fields. We regret to see many of these good men, who have done*"so"'much to bring the camp to its present state or importance, leave us now, but in ' leaving Atliu they will do for other , districts what they have done for this. A's the years go on and the shallow diggings become exhausted, it becomes apparent that, with a few exceptions, the deep ground of the district can most profitably bo worked by hydraulic" or mechanical methods, both'of \yhich beyond the reach of the average miner, -and as a matter of course, the day of company operations is even now at hand. In the progress of events we must bury sentiment and welcome the new order of things, as being the best for the development of the district. Though much of the older part of the camp has passed oris passing into the hands of capitalists, there is yet much ground available and open for the prospector and miner in the contiguous country to the east and south. This territory has hitherto received but an occasional passing gla.ice from hunters or from men en loute to Tesliu'or the Liard country. Developments during the past season have shown that the Dixie valley is worthy the . close scrutiny of "miners, and it is a well known geological fact that the gold area is by no means confined to the Pine and McKee watersheds. As .we have already said, the land is open, why, then, should our pionears leave Atlin for other districts ? After many years the Atlin district has at last succeeded in established its reputation as a hunters' paradise. This season there have been two or three hunting parties from the Old Country, who have found that the district offers a field for sportsmeu which has few equals and no rivals in the Dominion. 'With its accessibility and beautiful climate) summer or winter, it possesses advantages enjoyed by very few districts in Canada. Apart from mining, the Atlin country, given the opportunity, should in a few years be as well known as a land of sport as it is today as a land of gold. A word here and a word there will accomplish much. BIG GAME. Atlin's Fame as a Hunting Ground Appreciated. Notable Old Country Sportsmen Are Enthusiastic over the District's Possibilities. Although Atlin has had but little advertising as a rountry for big game hunters, the fact has, however, become known, and from now on its capabilities in that connection will not fail to receive greater publicity. , " Beyond the noise of the hum of city life," said a valued correspondent in a article on "The Hunt, in the land where the miner's blast is unheard, the forest teams with game, consisting of moose, caribou, sheep, goat, bear, -'lynx, martin, fox (red, cross, silyer-gray and black) wolverine, fisher, etq. Our lakes, which are innumerable, are plentiful in fish and, wild-fowl in their season; the woods andhills contribute vast abundance of grouse and ptarmigan, and the, swamps, snipe, and plover; and all of this so easy of access. What more'can a sportsmau desire?" This summer we have had at least two prominent hunting parlies from the Old Country, aucKiiom both we hear strong expressions of praise at the immense and varied field which-this district, ojSEers the sportsman. , - ' ��� ..Mr: A. M." Nay lor, ot London, Eng., recently spent some days at the south end of Atliu lake aud the glacier, and reports having seen large flocks of sheep and goats, on one occasion he counted no less than 32 sheep in one flock. Anywhere on the slopes above the lake goats could be seen feeding. Mr. Nay lor secured a very fine "Ovis Faniui" sheep, a black bear, aud one goat. "He says that had he so desired, he could have filled a steamer with game. He is so impressed with "the country that he will not fail to chain its praises and he has signified his intention of returning next season. Mr. Naylor has on several occasions been, a companion with the world-ieuouued hunter Dr. Selous. Mr. Walter Aitken of Atliu acted as guide to Mr. Naylor. Sir Bryane Leighton and Lady Leighton, of England, accompanied by Messrs. Aiken and Rouayne, of Atlin, who acted as guide's, a few, weeks ago took a hunting trip to the north end of Atlin lake. They chartered the Scotia to transport their outfit, consisting of horses, supplies and camp equipment. The first camp was made at Big Fish Lake, 7 miles east of Atlin lake. At this point the numeruus moose tracks indicated the existence of many of these animals in the vicinity," but it was decided lo push further on into the mountains. Owing to one of the horses, loaded with provisions, falling into the lake, one of the party had to return to Atlin to replenish the larder. The trip was brought to a hasty conclusion by the camp taking fire, Atlin, Nugget and Grape Rings And All Kinds of Jewellery Manufactured on the Premises.

It is always an advantage, and often a distinct relief, to get at the true proportion of things. Here is the servant question, for instance, .which has 'appeared at times to daiken the whole horizon of woman, and beside whose tyranny the tyrant man sinks Into innocuous desuetude. And, Jo! says a writer in Harper's Bazar, a Massachusetts woman, grappling with the real, thevtruly vital statistics in the case, tells us the great, soothing fact that 83 per cent, of the women of America do not keep servants at all Only 17 per cent, ot our sisters sit in the ' shadow of the servant question to-day.

The great majority of American women still rule their own households There are 83 per cent, who have never bowed the knee to Bridget���who do not know anything about intelligence offices, or days out. or followers, or a week's warnmg. The question as to eight-hour relays of domestics, which vexes tho brains of millionaire mistresses, does not'stir these independent housewives to more than an academic interest. The problem of a large cook in a small flat never faces them in all its concrete difficulty, nor have they ever known the sorrows of the suburbanite whose sarvants wrll not stay, though wages soar. Their hori70n Is clear. When we are tempted to magnify our troubles about servants, then let us remember that the American woman, In the mass, has no servant question.

First, theie , was Lloyd In- wood, tall, slender and , finely knit, nervous and And then Paul Tichlorne, tall. finely knit, nervous^ and a&rk. slender and ., , blond. Each was the replica of the oth er in everything except color. Lloyd's eyes were black coals of fire; Paul's ���teel-bluc jets of flame. Under stress of .excitement, the blood coirrsed olive in rlha face of Lloyd, crimson in the face oi Paul But outside this matter of coloring they weie as alike as two peas. Both were high-strung, prone to excessivo ten- r ��ion and over-endurance, and they lived constantly at conceit pitch. 1( But there was a trio involved In this remarkable friendship, and the third was .short, and fat, 'nnd chunky,' and lazy, and, loth to say, it was I. Paul and ���Lloyd seemed born to rivalry with each other, >and I to be'peacemaker between them. We grew up together, tho threo jof us, and full often have I received the 'angry blows each intended for the'othor, JTaey were always competing, striving to joutdo each other, and when ' entered pupon s'omo such shugglp there \vii3 no lUmit either' to their endeavors or pas- laiona. ' ' ' , This intense spirit of rivalry obtained |fn their studies and - their r games. If jpaul memorized * one canto of_"Mar- irmion," Lloyd . memorised two cantos, iPaul came back with three, and'Lloyd '���gain with four, till each knew the whole .poem' by heart. I remember an incident) ���that occurred "at the swimming-hole���-an incident tragically significant of the life- atrugglo between'them. The boys had a ���, game of diving to the bottom of a ten- foot pool and holding v on by submerged roots to see which could'stay under the longest. Paul and Lloyd allowed them- aelvea to be bantered into making the descent together. "When I saw their ���faces, set 'and determined, disappear in the water as they sank swiftly down, I felt a foreboding of something dreadful. The moments sped, the^-ripples died away, the face of .the pool grew placid and untroubled, and neither black nor_ golden head broke surface in quest of air. We ��� above grew anxious The longest record of the longest-winded boy had been exceeded, and still there ,was no sign. Air bubbles trickled slowly upward, showing that the bieath had L been expelled from their lungs, and after'-that the bubbles ceased "to trickle upward. Each second became interminable, and, unable longer to endure the suspense, I ' plunged into the water. ��- , I found them down "at the bottom, clutching tight to the "roots, their heads not a'foot apart, their eyes wide open, each glaring fixedly at the othpr. They ���were suffering frightful torment, writn- ing and twisting in the pangs of voluntary suffocation; for neither would .et go and acknowledge -himself beaten. I tried to break PauTs hold on the root, -but"he resisted me fiercely. Then I Jost my breath, and came to the surface bad-, iy scared. -1 quickly -explained the situation, and "half a do7en of us went down. and by main strength -tore them loose- By the time we got them out, both were unconscious, and it was only after much ���barrel-rolling and rubbing and pounding- that they finally came to their senses., They would have drowned there, had no, one rescued them. ' .When Paul Tichlorne entered college, !he let it be generally'understood that he, iwas going in for the social sciences. (Lloyd Inwood, entering at the same time, elected to take the same course. But iPaiil had had it secretly in mind all the time to study ,the natural sciences, specializing on chemistry, and at the last moment he switched over. Though Lloya had already arranged his year's work end attended the first lectures, .he at once followed Paul's lead and .went in for the natural sciences and especially tfor chemistry. Their rivalry soon became a noted thing throughout the university., Each was a spur to the other, and they ���went into chemistry deeper than did ever, students before���so deep, in fact, that ere they took their sheepskins they could have stumped any chemistry or "cow college" professor in the institution, save "old" Mossrhead of the department, and him even they puzzled and edified more1 than once. Lloyd's discovery of the ���-death bacillus" of the sea toad, and his Experiments on it with potassiuin cyanide, sent his name and that of his *uni- ���jrerslty ringing round the world; nor ���was Paul a whit behind when he succeeded In producing laboratory colloids exhibiting amoeba-like activities, and ���when he cast new light upon the processes of fertilization through his startling experiments with simple , sodium chlorides and magnesium solutions on low forms of marine life. It was in their undergraduate days, however, in the midst of their profound- est plunges Into the mysteries of organic chemistry, that Doris Van Benschoten entered into their lives. Lloyd mot her, first, but within twenty-four hours Pan* saw to it that he also made her ao>, qualntance. Of course, they fell in lova with her, and she became the only thing In life worth living for. They wooed ho* ���with equal ardor and fire, and so in�� tense became their struggle for her thai half the student-body took to wagering ���wildly on the result. Even "old" Moss, one day, after an astounding demonstration in his private laboratory by Paul, was guilty to the extent of a month's salary of backing him to become the bridegroom of Doris Van Benschoten. In the end sho solved the problem in her own way, to everybody's satlsfac' tion except Paul's and Lloyd's. Getting them together, sho said that she really! could not choose between them because she loved them both equally well; and that, unfortunately, since polyandry was not exactly peimitted 'in the Unitea States, she would be forced to forego the honor and happiness of marrying either of them. Each blamed the other foi this, lamentable outcome, and the bitterness between then* grew moie bitter. But things came to a head soon enough. It was at my home, after they had taken their degrees and dropped out of the world's sight, that the beginning of the end camp to pass Both were' men or means, with little inchnatron and no necessity for professional life. My friendship 'and their mutual animosity- were the two Hiings' that linked them in any way top her. While they were very often at my place, they made it a' fastidious point to avoid each other on such visits, though it was inevitable, under the circumstances, that they should come upon each other occasionally. . On the day I have in recollection, Paul Tichlorne had-been .nooning alb morning In my study over a current scientific review. This left me free to ray own affairs, and I washout among my loses when Lloyd Inwood ai lived. Clipping and,pruning and tacking the climbers on' the porch; with my mouth full of nails, and Lloyd following me about and'lending a hand now and again, we fell to discussing the mythical lace of invisible people, that strange and vagrant people tho traditions of which have come dowi' to us. Lloyd warmed to the talk iu lu*< nervous, jerky 'fashion, and was soon interrogating the physical pioperties end possibilities of invisibility. A peifcctly black object, he contended, would ,eludo and defy the acutesl vision. "Color is a sensation," he was saying. "It has no objective reality. Without light, we can see neither colors nor objects themselves. All objects are black in tho dark, and in the dark it is impossible to see them. If no light strikes upon them, then no light is flung back from them to the eye, and;so we have no vision-evidence of their being." "But we see black objects in daylight,' S objected. " ' V ���� \ "Very true," he went on warmly. And that is because they are not, perfectly black. Were they perfectly black, abso lutely black, as it weie, we could not see them���ay, not in the tya<.e of a thou- eand.suns^could we see them!- And so I say, with the right pigments, piopei-ly compounded, an absolutely black-paint could be*(produced 'which wi ildr render invisible whatever it v.as applied to." "It would be a remarkable discovery," I said non-committally, for the wholo thing seemed too fantastical'for aught but speculative purposes. "Remarkable!" Lloyd slapped me on the shoulder.���,"I should say so! Why old chap, to coat myself with suah a paint would be"to put the world at my feet.

Paul.Tichlorne was "standing 'there, a smile aof mockery on hi? lips. * ��� --. "You forget, my dear Lloyd," he said "Forget what?" '���You forget," Paul went -on���-"ah, you forget the shadow." I saw Lloyd's face drop, but he -answered sneermgly, **T can carry a sunshade, you know." Then he turned sud denly and fiercely upon him. "Look here, Paul, you'll keep out of this if you know what's good for you." A rupture seemed imminent, but Paul laughed good-naturedly. *"I wouldn't Jai fingers on your dirty pigments.1 Sueceeo beyond your most sanguine expectations vet you will always fetch up against tht- shadow. You can't get away from it 'Now I shall go on tie very opposite tack. In the very nature of "iny pioposi- tion the shadow will he eliminated���" -"Transparency!" ejaculated Lloyd instantly. '"But it can't be achieved" "Oh, no;"of course not." And Paul shrugged his shoulders and strolled ofi down the briar-rose path. This was the 'beginning of it. Both men attacked the problem with all the ,tremendou3 energy for which they were noted, and with a* rancor and bittei- ness which made me tiemble for the success of cither. ' Each trusted me to the ntmost, and in the long weeks of expen mentation that followed I was made a party to both sides, listening to their thoorizings and witnessing their demonstrations. Never, by woid or sign, did 1 convey to either the slightest hint of the other's progress, and they respected me for the seal I put upon my lips. Lloyd Inwood, after prolonged and un- intermittent application, when the tension upon his mind and body became too great to bear, had a strange way of ob taining relief. He attended prize-fights. It was at one of these brutal exhibitions, whither he had dragged me in order to tell his latest results, that his theory re-' celved striking confirmation. "Do you see that red-whiskered man'?" he asked, pointing across the ring to the fifth tier of seats on the opposite side. "And do you see the next man to him, the one in the white hat? Well, there is quite a gap between them, is there not?" "Certainly," I answered. "They are a seat apart. The gap is the unoccupied Beat/- He leaned over to me and spoke seriously. "Between the red-whlakcred man and the whlte-hatted man sits Ben Was- son. You have heard me speak of him. He is the cleverest pugilist of his weight in the country. He is also a Caribbean negro, full-blooded, and the blackest in the United States. He has on a black overcoat buttoned up. I saw him when he came in and took that seat. As soon as he sat down he disappeared. Watch closely; he may smile." I was for crossing over to verify Lloyd's statement, but he restrained me. "Wait," he said. I waited and watched, till the led- whiskered man turned his head as -enough addressing the unoccupied seat; and then, in that empty space, I saw the rolling whites of a pair of eyes and-the white double-ci listent of two rows oi teeth, and foi the instant I could make out a negio's face. But with the passing of the smile his visibility passed, and the chair seemed vacant as bcfoie. "Were he peifcctly black, you could sit alongside linn and not sec him," Lloyd said; and I confess the illustiation was apt enough to malic me well-nigh convinced. "' ��� , I .visited Lloyd's laboratory a number of times after that, and found him always deep in his seaich after the absolute black: ".'His"1 experiments coveted all s6rts of pigments, such as lamp Llacks, Jtars, carbonized vegetable matters', soots of oil8 and,fats and the various caibon- ized animal substances. "White light is composed of the seven primary colors," he argued to mo "But it is itself, of itself, invisible. Only ��� by being reflected from ooieers do it and, the objects become -isiblp But only that portion of it that is reflected becomes visible. For'instance, here is a blue tobacco-box. The white light strikes, against it, and, with one exception, all Its component, colors ��� violet, indigo, green, yellow, oinnge and red���are absorbed. ��� The one exception is blue. It 4��' not absorbed,'but rellected. Whercfoio the tobacco-box gives us a sensation of adu/TPAi '.���*����� &>.j>qI' ro- l.'.ip.nthpi colors because they are absorbed. We see only ihe blue. -For the sam** reason grass'is jrcen. The green waves of white light ire thrown upon our eyes." "When we paint our houses we do not dpply color to them," he said at another time. "What we do is to apply ceitain lubstiances which have the property- of absorbing from white light'all <the colors except 'those which we would have our houses appear. When a substance reflects all the colois to the,eye, it seems to us'white. When it absorbs all the colors, it is black. But, as 1 said before, we have as yet-no perfect black. All the colors are not absorbed. The perfect black, guarding against high lights, will be utterly and absolutely invisible^ Look at that, for example." , >, '', He pointed' to the palette lying on his work-table. , Different shades ,of black -pigments iwere brushed-on it. One, in particular, I could hardly see. It gave my eyes a, blurring sensation, and I rubbedrthem and looked again. "That," ho said impi essively, "is tho blackest black you or any mortal man ever looked upon. But just you wait, and I'll have a black so black that no mortal man will be able to look upon it ���and see itl" >. ' On the'other hand, I used to find Paul Tichlorne^ plunged as deeply into tho study,' of light' polarization, diffraction andi interference, single/ and double refraction, and all manner of strangei organic compounds. "Transparency: a state or quality of body, .{which permits all rays^of light to paS9 through," he defined for me. "That is what-1 am seeking. Lloyd blunders up against'the shadow with his perfect opaqueness. But I .escape it. ,A trans-, parent body casts no shadow; neither does it reflect light-waves���that is, the perfectly., transparent does not. , So, avoiding high lights, not only will such a "body cast no shadow, but since it reflects no light, it will also be invisible." ' We were standing by the window at another time. Paul was engaged in polishing a number of lenses, which were ranged along the sill. Suddenly, after a pause in the; conversation, he said, "Oh! I've dropped a Iense. Stick your head out, old man, and see where it went to." Out I started to thrust my head, but a sharp blow on the forehead caused me to recoil. I rubbed my bruised brow and gazed with reproachful enquiry at Paul, who was laughing in gleeful, boyish fashion. , , "Well?" he said. "Well?" I echoed. "Why don't you investigate?" he demanded. _ And investigate I did. Before thrusting out my head, my senses, automatically active, had told me there was nothing theie, that nothing intervened between me and otit-of-doois, that the aperture'of the window-opening was utterly empty. _ I stretched forth my hand and felt a haid object, smooth and cool And flat, which my touch, out of its experience, told me to be glass. I looked again, but could sec positively nothing. "White quaitzose s.uid,"Paul lattled off, "sodic carbonate, slaked lime,' cutlet, manganese peroxide���there you have it, the finest French plate glass, made bj the great St. Gobain Company, who mado the finest plate glass in the world, and this is the finest piece they ever made. It cost a king's ransom. But look at it! You can't see it! You don't know it'b there 'till you run your head agoinst itl ' "Eh, old boyl That's merely an ob ject lesson���certain elements, in them selves opaque, yet so compounded as tc give a resultant body which is transparent. But that is a matter of inorganic chemistry, you say. Very true. But I dare to assert, standing here on my two feet, that in the organrc I can duplicate whatever occurs in the inorganic." "HereI" He held a test-tube between me and the light, and I noted the cloudy or muddy liquid it contained. He emp tied the contents of another test-tubo into it, and almost instantly it became clear and "sparkling. "Or here!" With quick, nervous movements among his array of test-tubes, he turned a white solution to a wine color and a light yellow solution to a dark brown. He dropped a piece of litame paper, the rocella tinctoria, into an acid, when it changed instantly to red, and on floating it in an alkali it turned as quickly to blue.,. , "The litmus paper is still the litmus paper," he enunciated in the formal manner of the lecturer. "I have not changed it Into something else. Then what did 1 dot I merely changed the arrangement of its molecules. Where, at first, it absorbed all colors from the light but red, its molecular structure was so changed that it absorbed red and all colors except blue. And so it goes, ad infinitum, Now, what I propose to do is this." He caused for a space. "I propose to seek������ ay, and to find���the proper icagents, which, acting upon the living organism, will 'bring about molecular changes analogous to those you have just -.wtucssed But these reagents, which I shall find and for that matter, upon which I already have my hands, will not turn the living body to blue or led or black, but they will turn it to tinnspa'reney. All light will pass thiough it. It will be invisible. It will cast no shadow "' A few weeks latei I went hunting with Paul. He had ^been piomrsing me for some time that I should have the pleasure of shooting over a wondeiful dog���' the most .wonderful dog, in fact, that ever man shot over, so he aveired, nnd continued to aver till my currosrty was at fever pitch. But on the morning in question I was disappointed, for there was no dog in evidence. "Don't see him about," Paul remarked unconcernedly, and we set off across the fields. I could not imagine, at the time, what was ailing me, 'but I had a feeling of sonic iinpendirig;aiid deadly illness. My neives weie all awry, and, from the astounding tricks they played'me, my senses'seemed to have run liot. Strange sounds disturbed me. At times I heard the swish-swish of grass being shoved aside, and once the patter of feet across a patch of stony giound. "Did you hear anything,Paul!" I asked once. , , But he shook his head and thrust his feet steadily forwaid. While climbing a fence, I heard tho low, eager whine of a dog, apparently from within a couple of feet of me; but on looking about me I saw nothing. , ��� .1 dropped to the ground, limp andt trembling. - "- ���***flwl'*1 . "Paul," I said, "we had better return to the house. ,Jam afraid I am going to be sick." "Nonsense, old man," he answered. "The sunshine has gone'to,your head like wine. You'll be all right. It'B fa-' mous weather.", ^ , But1, ��� passing along a narrow path through a clump of cottonwoods, some objgct_brushed against *jny Jena, and 1 -tumbled and nearly fell. 'I looked with ��� tudden anxiety at Paul. v' 1 "What's the matter?" he asked. "Trip, ���ling over your own feet'" \t I kept my tongue between my teeth ind plodded on, though-sore peiplexed ind thoroughly satisfied that some acute ind mystenous malady had attacked my aerves. So far my eyes had escaped, but, when we got to the' open fields' Again, even my vision went back on me. ,3trange flashes of vari-colored, rainbow right began to, appear and disappeai 'on the path before .me. , Still, I,managed to keep myself in hand, till'the vaii-colored lights persisted for, a space of fully twenty seconds, dancing and flashing m continuous play. Then-I sat'down,' weak and shaky. * -> > �� fit's all up with me," I gasped, covering my eyes with my hands. "It has attacked my eyes. Paul, take me home." .-���But Paul laughed long and loud. "What did I tell you?���the most wonderful, dog, eh? Well, what do you think?" _ ' ,c> ' He turned partly from me >and began to whistle. I heard the patter of feet, the panting of a heated animal, and the unmistakable yelp of a dog. Then Paul stooped down and apparently fondled the empty air. "Here! Give me your fist." . , And he rubbed"my hand over the cold nose and jowls of'a dog A dog it certainly was, with, the shape and the smooth short coat of a pointer.^ * Suffice to say, I speedily recovered my spirits and contiol. Paul put a collar about the animal's neck and tied his handkei chief to its tail. And then was vouchsafed us the lemaikable sight of an empty collar and a waving handkerchief cavorting over the fields It was something to see that collar and handkerchief pin1 a bevy of quail in a clump of locusts and remain rigid and immovable till we had flushed the birds Now and again the dog emitted the vari-colored light flashes I have mentioned. The one thing, Paul explained, which he had not anticipated and which he doubted could be overcome. y% ' "They'ie a large famrly," he sals; "these sun dogs, wind dogs, rainbows, halos, and paihelia. They are produced by refraction of light from mineral arid ice crystals, from mist, rain, spiay and no end of things; and I am afiaid they are the penalty I must pay for transparency. I escaped Lloyd's shadow only to fetch up against the rainbow flash." A couple of days latei, before the entrance to Paul's laboiatory, I encountered a terrible stench. So overpowering was it that it was easy to discover the source���a mnss of puticscent matter on the doorstep which in general outlines resembled a dog. Paul was startled when he investigated myfind. It was his invisible dog, or rather, what had been his invisible dog for it was now plainly visible. It had been playing about but a few minutes before in all health and strength. Closer examination revealed that the skull had been crushed by some heavy blow. While it was strange that the animal should have been killed, the inexplicable thing was that it should so quickly decay. "The reagents I injected into its system were harmless," Paul explained "Yet they were powerful, and it appears that when death comes they force practically instantaneous disintegration. Be- markable! Most remarkable 1 Well, tho only thing is not to die. They do not harm so long as one lives. But I do won- deT who smashed in that dog's head." Light, however, was thrown upon this when a frightened housemaid brought the news that Gaffer Bedshaw had that very morning, not more than an hour back, gone violently insane, and wa3 strapped down at home, in the huntsman's lodge, wheie he raved of a battle with a ferocious and gigantic beast which he had encountered in the Tichlorne pasture. He claimed that the thing, whatever it was, na- invisible, that with his own eyes he had seen that it was invisi hie; wherefore ]rw tearful wife and daughters shook their heads, and wherefore he but waxed the moie violent and the straps by another hole. ' Nor, i while Paul Tichlorne was thus successfully mastering the problem of invisibility, was Lloyd Inwood a wnit.be- hind. I went over in answer to a message of his to tome nnd see Qiow ho was getting on. Now, his laboiatory occu- '' pied an isolated situation in the midst of his vast grounds. It was built in a. j pleasant little glade, sunounded on all' sides by a dense foi est giowth, and was ��� to be gained by way of a winding and erratic path Brit I had 'tr.v-.eled that^ path so often as to know every foot of it, and conceive my suipnse when X ,��� came upon tire glade and found no la-'', boratory. The quaint shed structure- r with its red sandstone chimney was notj Nor did it look as if it ever had been. , ���- There were no signs of ruin, no debris,," nothing. r * "',". I started to walk across what, had! T once been its site. "This," I said to my- , self, "should be where the step went up .' to the door," and barely were the words �� out of my mouth when I stubbed my toe- '' on some obstacle, pitched forward, anoV 4 fcutted my head into something that felt!. i| very much like a door. I reached ou�� - my hand. It was a door. I found thei ' knob and turned it. And at once, aa' <��� the door swung mwaid on its hinges, thei \ ' whole interior of the laboratory 'impinged! ���'- upon my vision , Greeting Lloyd,* Pi closed the door and hacked up the path' ��� *��� a fewj paces.

"Now spread it on,l' ind keep your eyes 'open." *���; J 'I-dipped the brush lnto'the seemingly; empty pot, and gave him a long stroke* across his chest. With, the'passage* ofj, the brush the living flesh disappeared*; from beneath. I covered hiB right leg^7 and he was as a one-legged man defying1' all laws of gravitation. And so, stroka.; )>y stroke, member by member, I pointedl j tloyd Inwood into nothingness. It waa i a creepy experience, and I was glad when? naught remained in,sight but Ms burn-*', Ing black! eyes, poised apparently, unsug-, ported in mid-air. - - '--j "I have a refined and harmless solu-4 tion for them," he said.

"Of,fj; course," I continued, "you cannot escape-fj your shadow, but that was to be ex- 5 pected. When you pass between my,-^ eye and an object, the object disappears, ||i| but so unusual and incomprehensible is Jrj its disappearance that it seems to nae a-8-|IL though my eyes had blurred.

( ' tp'i Long we talked, that last morning inV$ his laboratory; and when I turned tc*^ go, he put.his unseen hand in mine witb/ j1'1 nervous grip, and said, "Now I shall con- [ quer the world!"
