There is a heavy burden on John's heart and mind, and It will require a great deal of patience before he re- lieves himself of the weight. This burden Is no less than a separation from his laily love in far-off Alaska. For two years past Warnken, or, as he Is termed, “ Nickel-plated Johnny,” has been hopelessly smitten with the charms of the young daughter of an old half-breed Aleut rejoicing tn the name of Melekoff. Nightly ho would venture on a frail toat across the raging waters of the river to visit his lady-love, but beyond the signs that tho lovers are to greet their Inamoratas with, neither he nor she wore able to converse with ono another unless by the aid of an interpreter. Matters, however, culminated in a proposal of marriage during August Last. The proposition was accepted, and it was arranged that tho wedding shou’d take place whan the Russian priest visited the village The eccle- siaxtic arrived, hut Johnny's oo-labor- ers were grievously disappointed, and N.

J. Ifrad- lee, of Boston, was subpumiiod in a real-estate case as an expert. The lawyer on the other side, not knowing him, undertook to counteract his testi­ mony and began cross-exam ining him as follows: “ What did you say your business was, Mr. Brad lee?” "W ell, I have charge of a gixxl many trusts, mostly real estate,” said Mr. Brad loo. “ How much real estate havo you ever had charge of at one time?” “ Well, I don't think I can say exactly.” “ But how much should you guess?” ”1 couldn't even guess.” “ W ell, sir, would you say it was five thousand dollars' w orth?” “ I should put it as high as that, certainly.” “ Would you put it ashigh as ten thousnnil dollars?” “ Y es." “ Fifteen thousand?” “ Yes.” "T w en ty-five thousand?” " Y e s ." “ Fifty thousand?” “ Yes.” “ A hun­ dred thousand?” “ Yes.” “ Five hun­ dred thousand?” “ Y es." “ A mil­ lion?” “ Y e s." “ W ell, how many mil­ lions?" roard the astonished lawyer, who only now began to discover that he had caught a Tartar. "W e ll,” said Mr. Brad lee, very coolly, “ I told you at the start I couldn't say, but, since ou Insist on It, I will roughly estimate t at, say, a hundnxl milliorsi." “ You may stand dow n,” said the ultaMMy- — i ing. When Bishop Validmir visited Alaska, Warnken applied to him for permission to marry his dear Marcia, but again he met with a rofusal. With a determination worthy of a bettor cause, he resi 4 ved to ondeavor to marry his lady-love under the laws of the United Statu). He stated to the father that by getting her to Kadjak he thought to onllst tho services of tho school teacher, who is an ordained min­ ister and also acts under a dispensa­ tion from Governor Swinoford as a justice of the peace. With many em­ braces and vows of eternal love ex ­ changed in a pantomimic manner, Johnny and his fair Marcia bid adieu. When the vessel returned to the fish­ ery a letter was received from the fickle mariner stating that "as he could not obtain work in Kadjak for the winter his dear Marcia must wait for him till next year. Meanwhile he would save his money and work hard this winter so as to marry her in the coming sum­ mer. This le:ter was written in Rus­ sian to tho g irl’ s father and evokod considerable wrath on tho head of the departed swain. When the last vessel left thefisliing station there were ru­ mors that the fair Marcia had trans­ ferred her affections to a friend of Johnny's, who roinalns at the station during tho present winter. It may be stated that the Russian priests and Bishop Vladimir view with great dD- like the marriage of any A leutor creolo woman to an American —°
