Although It was the second week In
Way. there were midden and chill
whiffs of wluJ from the north, accom
panied by flying particles of Ice and
Fnow, grim warning that winter had
not yet renounced Its en ay Id the
nortliland.
Floyd Jordan, striding down the steep
mountain trial, halted Irresolutely near
the abrupt turning at rarrell'g bluff,
lie appeared to be meditating deeply.
Suddenly he threw up IjIh head, Hipiared
his shoulders and hurried on, not In
the direction of the boarding house In
the gulch, but toward Farrell's cabin.
FnrrcU's cabin constated of two log
houses Joined together and chinked
with mud. There were other cabins of
the kb mo simple architecture scattered
over the mountain side and nestled In
the gulches, but white curtains hung
at the Farrell windows, and the wind
ward side of the living room was hung
with gay Navujo blankets.
The brown fur of a mountain bear
was on the floor, and Its mate was
spread luxuriously beneath the red pil
lows of a couch. And, set like a torch
In the south window, a geranium,
potted in a brilliant Indian basket,
'lifted Its scarlet bloom.
Itut Jordan felt without seeing this
harmony. lie was looking Into the
face of the girl who had opened the
door. It was a face of light and shade
which spoke the swift thought before
the voice found words, a face to hold
a man's glauce In n crowd. CloHlng
the door, she resumed her seat by the
fire without replying to Jordan's genial
greeting.
He seemed to fill the room. Six feet
two oud broad shouldered, he looked
even larger In the clumsy canvas coat,
corduroys ond high laced boots of tho
prospector. IIo whipped his hat
against his knee, evidently discon
certed by the girl's hostile attitude.
"That you, Floyd Jordan?" Inquired
a voice from the Inner room.
"Yes, Mrs. Farrell. llow're you feel
ing?" "Some better, I'm glad to say. Set
down and warm yourself, Floyd.
Talu't to le wondered at that peoplo
have rheumatism In a land where
there is ten months' winter. If you'll
shut tho door, Loreny, I'll get up and
dress."
Lorena closed the door.
"Floyd Jordan, what arc you coming
here again for?" sho burst out sud
denly. "Wouldn't be very neighborly not to
drop in with your mother sick and
your dad a way, would it?"
"Didn't I tell you that I never would
speak to you nguln and that I never
wanted to seo you?" she said fiercely,
taking a few steps toward him. Even
In that critical moment, with her eyes
blazing unjutjl.unil'unrciisonablo anger,
the miner's heart throbbed acknowl
edgment of the tall, pliant, rcedllke
grace before him.
"Yes, Lorena, but I have Just a llt
tlo hopo that you don't olwoys mean
whnt you say.','
"Don't you think I mean it when I
tell you I've heard how you bragged
to tho boys at the store that you could
take mo whenever you got good nnd
ready?"
"I never said it In that way. Some
one has garbled my words to suit their
own purpose. Why, I've loved you
from the first time 1 ever set eyes on
you. I've been thinking of building a
cabin on my claim If you'll have me,
Lorena. If you won't I'll sell out and
go to tho States."
"You can't go any too quick to suit
me," answered tho girl, her voice tense
with scorn. "And you can tell them
loafers at tho store that I'm not to be
taken so easily. I'd rather dlo than
marry you, Floyd Jordan."
"I reckon that settles It," said Jor
dan, rising and buttoning his coat.
"I'leaso tell your mother goodby for
me," and he was gone.
"Loreny Farrell, what have you
been nnd done?" demanded her mother,
limping Into the room In her stocking
feet. "You know's well os I do that
Floyd never said nothing to nobody
about youl The Itlako girls made It
all up, Jealous 'cause you'd caught the
likeliest young feller In tho camp.
You've driven him away for good this
tliuo. "IIo'll keep his word he always
does and go to tho Slates."
Sho re-entered tho bedroom for her
shoes, and Lorenn stealthily opened the
door nnd looked after her lover's re
treating figure, lie had almost reached
the bluff. If ho passed it she knew
sho would never see him again. Some
thing stirred In her tliront. The long
stretch of trail that ran away through
tho dreary landscape seemed llko her
life, and Floyd whs going out of It
Her heart yeurned for him. Whnt
would her lifo be without him?
"Loreny, where are you?" called Mrs.
Farrell, emerging from the bedroom
fully shod. The girl was not in tho
room. I lor mother opened the door and
looked out, but a wall of whirling
white met her vision.
"My God!" she gasped. "The child's
gone after him."
She knew tho risk. AH morning tho
storm had been brewing, and now it
thundered by, n verltnblo blizzard, tho
sort that swoops down on the northwest
territory ns late as June and ns early
ns August. It compels the settler to
string a wire from house to stables; it
sets mou circling In the snow; it catch
es little children coming home from
school and buries them In monstrous
drifts.
A knock sounded on the door, aid
Floyd entered, noisily stamping thu
snow from his feet.
"Thought I'd eomo back aud have an
other talk with Lorena," he began.
"Oh, Floyd, she's gone after yr'
cried tho distracted woman, wringing
her hands. "I saw her footprints point
ing toward tho bluff. She got sorry
right after you left."
"I'll find her," said Floyd quickly.
"Don't worry." And ho dashed back
into the storm.
When Lorena softly closed tho kitch
en door she could Just see Floyd round
ing the bluff.
"Floyd! Oh. Floyd, come back!" she
called, all her reserve gone, her fierce
pride thrown to the stormy winds that
blew the fringe of ber shawl Into her
eyes.
Realizing that he could not bear her,
she started after him, but by the time
she had covered half the distance a sea
of white swept in between and trotted
him from view.
She hurried on, calling his name re
peatedly, but the furious wind tore at
her breuth and walled her about with
fleecy clouds. She never even made the
bluff.
Aud when she found that she had
missed It and tried to retrace her steps
the drift had filled her tracks. If she
could only strike the trail! In despera
tlon she turned to the right and turned
to tho left, but one turn offset the
other.
Thus she struggled on and on and
still on until In spite of the biting cold
the inspiration burst from every pore.
This was well enough as long as she
kept moving, but when the time came
that she must stop she would freeze
all the quicker for her present warmth
This, being born and bred of the
northland, Iiorena knew, and tho
knowledge kept her tolling, tolling on
antll her tired limbs compelled a
pause In the shelter of a bluff. She
leaned panting against a rock, all un
conscious of a pair of eyes which
glared from a willow thicket near by.
While she rested the green lights In
tho eyes flared brighter, a long red
tongue licked the grinning Jaws hun
grily, and forth from his covert stole
a lank, gray wolf.
Lorena uttered a frightened cry.
This wag no coyote, to be chased with
a stick, but a wolf of timber stock, a
great beast, strong as a mastiff. He
emitted low snarls as be slunk In half
circles across her front. IIo was un
decided. So while ho circled, preparing for a
spring, drawing n little nearer at every
turn, Lorena fell back buck toward
the bluff, keeping her white face al
ways to the creeping beast.
With sudden inspiration sho took off
her heavy shawl and threw It, blanket
wise, over the wolfs head and then
fled dosiierately. Once clear of the
shrub she ran on, plunging through
drifts, stumbling, falling, to rlso again
and push her flight.
Of direction she took no heed. Her
only thought was to place distance be
tween herself and the famished brute.
But when, weary and breathless, she
paused to rest, out of the drab drift
stole the lank, gray shadow.
With a terrified shriek lorena ran
and ran and ran ns tho tired doe runs
from tho hounds. At last she stopped.
spent, unable to take another step.
Looking around, she saw the wolf, lick
ing his hungry Jaws, crouching for the
final spring. With a bitter cry she fell
upon her knees aud closed her eyes.
Just then two shots rang out In
quick succession. Looking up, she saw
Floyd Jordan, with his smoking re
volver in his bond, standing over the
prostrate beast.
"Floyd, oh, Floyd!" she sobbed as
ho came to her wllh eyes tender and
anxious. lie picked her up from the
enow, wrapped her In his coat aud
held her against his breast.
The storm wns lifting. Farrell's
cabin could be plainly discerned not
a quarter of a mile distant.
"I'm dead sure now I'll build that
cabin on my claim," Floyd said as they
started homeward.
Decline of Billingsgate.
Itilllngsgate, whose decline In rheto
ric lias already been noted, has de
clined also in other ways since Queen
Elizabeth appointed It "an open place
for tho landing and bringing In of any
fish, corn, salt stores, victuals and
fruit (grocery wares excepted)." Stow
gives tho list more fully, as including
"fish, both fresh and salt, shell fishes,
salt, oranges, onions and other fruits
nnd roots, wheat and ryo, nnd grain of
divers sorts for the service of the city
ond the realm adjoining" which sug
gests tho contents of a village general
shop, in William III.'s reign Billings
gate was limited to a "free and oieu
market for all sorts of fish," and it
wns after this that Its reputation for
language grew up, alluded to by Tope:
There strlpt. fair Rhetoric languished on
tho termini);
His blunted arms by lophiHtry tire borne,
And shameless lIUIinKagute her rubes

Buried Treasures In England.
There must lie n gixnl deal of treas
ure In the form of church plato nnd so
forth concealed in different parts of
the country, ns quantities of It were
burled at the time of the dissolution
of the monasteries. There are two
legends In Worcestershire regarding
some sliver bells, for Instance, which
have been handed down most persist
ently from one generation to nuother
slnco the sixteenth century. Oue ver
sion of the story Is that tho bells were
burled by the last abbot of Evushum,
Abbot Lichfield, In n subterrauenu
passage which formerly existed be
tween the abbey and n house ou tho
opposite bank of the river, whllo tho
other story has It that a pen I of silver
bells was burled at the same period
(tho dissolution of the monasteries) at
Abbots Morton, a village ten miles dis
tant from Evesham.- Wide World

HALLEY'S. COMET.
Coming to Revisit Us After a Seventy
five Year Trip.
After an absence of seventy-five
years and after visiting n region that
is jierhaps 00,000,0(10 miles more dis
tant than the outermost planet of the
solar system, Halley's comet Is again
approaching us, and even now Is
nearer to us than tho planet Saturn.
After Oct. 1, 11)00, it will probably be
visible to tho naked eye.
Tho return of this clebrnted comet
tho Urst known to move In a closed
orbit causes It to bo au object of ex
traordinary attention. Its brilliancy,
its sensational size, the records of Its
returns extending back nearly 2,000
years, tho consternation once spread
throughout the world by the belief
that it would destroy the earth, make
ti's HWt famojis comet In hltstoo'.
Selections
In 1082, during toe tvtpn or Charles
II, a comet appeared of extraordinary
size, which was observed by Newton,
Halley aud other astronomers of tho
time. Halley followed its course
among the stars and, comparing bis
observations with the records of pre
vious comets, came to the conclusion
that the comets of 14"A 1."j31 and 1G07
were but different appearances of the
same object. He staked bis reputa
tion on a prediction that the comet
would return In alsmt seventy-five
years. True to this prediction. It did
apiiear In K.'W. when Halley had been
sleeping In his gnve fur sixteen years.
The reason that the name of Falitsch,
a Saxon pe:iK.n:it. has been preserved
to posterity Is that Ids eye was the
first to catch sight of the returning
comet. Popular Astronomy.
Six Most Powerful Men.
In the smoking room of a popular
west end club the other afternoon a
group of men suddenly raised the
query ns to which six men wield the
most power In the world, and very
considerable diversity of opinion was
expressed. Hy general consent King
Edward was placed nt the head of the
list, but It seemed Impossible to ar
rive nt any agreement us to the re
mnlultig five. After some considera
ble argument It was decided to can
vass the whole of the members then
In the building nnd ask them to write
down the names of the nix they con
sidered the most powerful. The fol
lowing wns the result, with the order
of voting: First, the king; second, the
pope; third, tho czar; fourth, the sul
tan of Turkey; fifth, the president of
tho United States; sixth, tho emperor
of China. Among others who were
voted for very generally were the em
peror of Japan, the French president
and tho kaiser London Sketch.
Hotels That Have Passed.
New York builds .hotels fast, but It
loses them fast us well. To the death
roll of famous hostelries Is added now
the name of the Everett House, and
this within n four year period which
has seen the passing of the Morton
House, the Hotel Cambridge, the Nor
mnudie, the Vendoine, the Sinclair,
Leggett's nnd the Fifth Avenue. A
little further back the registers were
closed finally of the old Metropolitan,
the St. James, the Brunswick, the
United Slates, the St. Cloud, the St.
Nicholas and the Stevens House. Tho
WInd.sor disappeared with fire and
tragedy.
Some hotels remain, but not the
same. The Hoffman House ond the
Grand are practically new. The for
mer Grand Central, sceno of the
Stokes-Fisk shooting, Is now the
Broadway Central. New York World.
A Hardness Meter.
A novel device for measuring tho
hardness of metals Is called thcsclero
scope by Albert F. Shore and Dr.
Paul Hcrould,' Its Inventors. A steel
ball weighing forty grains, made ex
tremely hard by a special process, Is
Inclosed In n glass tube, aud tho hard
ness is Indicated by the rebound ns
tho ball Is dropped on the metal under
test. A scale measures the height of
rebound. On this scale 100 Is tho
averngo hardness for carbon steel and
proves to be the safety limit for steel
tools after reheating and tempering.
The Instrument is valuable in making
tools of standard hardness. Cleve

Gymnastic Burglars.
A school for burglars has been dis
covered by the police at Toulouse,
France, and fifty-four burglars and
"professors" have been arrested.
Classes wore held every day. In which
tho burglars practiced gymnastics nnd
were taught the various details of
their Interesting profession by experts,
who drew comfortable salaries. All
tho members of the school are well
known to the police, for one of tho
necessities of membership was n proof
that I ho would be member had com
mitted at least five burglaries success
fully and had lived by his profession
for nt least three years.
Houses of Corncobs.
In some purls of Europe corncobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and taken to n fac
tory, where heavy compresses crush
nnd timid them Into blocks of vnrlou
sizes Just as bricks are variously
molded. These blocks are bound
with wire, so as to make thoui hold
together. They are then soaked In tar
to make them water tight and are
ready for use after this treatment. Of
course they are much lighter than
bricks, are always dry uud make goad
houses.
