Much foolishness is talked as to tho hardships of the Klondike legion and of tho trials being tis great fr women to endure. A woman's grit makes a very great difference. If sho has kh1 health and good tO"it. sho can endnro mnch greater hardships than anything sho will mounter Koine to the Klondike. At Dawson I saw a slim young wom an who was accustomed at home to lio in bed till noon if she felt disposed. She had never done anything to harden her muscles, yet she wulked over Chil koot pan and carried a load of 25 pounds, she told me, and sho looked tho rosy nud bright eyed picture of health.

I saw something in the bunk of grayenrtn Unit lookeil like a white chip. 1 to from "Tick-took, lovea a lover, tlck-tockt" I turned toward the, '., cki the red glow from the outer world lighted up its fneo. Hundy 1 was not dr. lining: The fnco leemed to be smiling at me, and the Words changed into "little girl little rirl," as if half pitying ma be canaa I waa left alone. I heaved a dgh, and before it had well pass,-,! my lips the old clock seemed to say: "I've seen many things, and if little girls would keep their earaopen they conld learn from almoat everything about them. We don '1 say much," with a half point of hand toward th" big old bookcaee, whicb gave a groan in an swer. "But we watch and ham a Kient deal more than people give m credit for. I can t,ll you about jour grandmother and how I, by whut you would stupid ly call an accident, changed her whole life." It gnve me a strange feeling to bear . the clock which I had loved and llatened I to fr,,in ni!, Ii, 1 h, L I dug it out, rnbliei it a little, when, me. Before this I bad ulwavs known it plainly to lo! it began to gleam yellow. I felt a could tell me ao mnch if I could only sort of buck fever creep through my veins. I showed it to the miner. As sure ns you me alive, it was a nugget, and I bad found it myself. That was one ,,f the proudest moments of my life.

Mv garments wero when next day we were Ineky enough to find two claims on Gold hill, abovo tho Forks, that somehow had been over looked, and we were therefore able to stake tin-in off and possess them. in tlie road home we spent a night in a miner's empty cabin. The forlorn- 1 sympathetic flowers est. most desolate spot I ever looked on is to me the uveruge miner's cabin. So cheerleaa, 10 unkept, so like tho den of a wild bea.-t is it. A man is not much aiiyh, .v.-, jioor fellow, anion be bus u understand, and now, quite suddenly I understood just a if the old clock, with its slow and steady "tick-tock, tick-took, " spoke in my own language. I was just a little nervous and did not lik" to answer, hut I guess the clock saw the half smile on my face, for it went on after a few momenta "Yea, it is many years ago when your grand mother W'us young, a sweeter lassie never breathed. I dream sometimes in the night, when I alone of all the house am awake, of seeing her come gliding down the stairs in her light gray dress, with its ninny yarded skirt, the dainty lace collar fushiwind with tho big brooch, her hair, with tho tresses that would not quite straighten out, drawn down nnd over the ears, like curtaim of gold to ii oiT her Bo war like face. "She would always heed ma, 1 my self was young then, " the old clock sighed. "1 told her v. In n lo rise sons to surprise the flowers when fresh with dewdmp diumonds when she must study and lead so II to be able to bold her own with the best. These things she did not mind, but she would look at mo Unite wistfully when I would tick out, 'Tick, tock.
