CHAITER VIII.
The brain, if .sound, perform-- its func
tions more quickly in moments of dan
ger than at 3113* 1 - ! ier time, dlscardiu.tr
consideration of side issues, and
ol>eying blindly the instinct of self
preservation.
It flashed ncrass me instantly that 1
was in deadly peril at the .and? ' 'he
I mn;i whom I had accused of cowardice
—Demetrius. ll f- alor.fr had acce-s to
the house; he alone could quit t Sultan,
the bloodhound; he alone had good rea
son to fear not only Burlington, but
Hugo Livingston. Mark Gerard, I could
no loncer doubt, was the victim of a
deep-laid plot a plot which already
id w recked 1 hrec lives, and which was
destined. | erh::ps, to destroy my own.
■ft! » 1 • mred ui'h hellish am
' bition, had slain poor Perkins, he was
! capable of repeating the tragedy of Ked
I Gulch here, in this bedroom. Obvious
j Iv his plan was to kill lioth Burlington
ar.d me, and in such a manner that it
would be supposed we had killed each
other.
This conviction asserted it.self as I
awaited in breathless silence the attack
of the Greek. I liad dropped upon one
knee between the door and the bed.
and in my right hand was the small
pistol which I always carried on my
person. But. a pistol is the least effi
cient weapon in such a fight as this.
What would I have piven for a double
barreled shotgun, a good sabre or a
knife! If I fired in the dark, the flash
of "the powder would prove a death war
rant; the same grim logic applied to
the striking of a match. I was satisfied
that such a master scoundrel as De
metrius had laid his plans with extraor
dinary sagacity. lie was taking des
perate chances, but- the crisis justified
them. These rooms were cut off from
the rest of the house, and nothing short
of a pistol shot would arouse Gerard
and the servants. Demetrius must have
counted upon the moon as an ally.
From the darkness of Mark's room he
might have approached me unseen and
1 unheard, and then—a bold thrust of a
knife would rid him of the man who
had dared to unmask biwvillainy. Itut
the fickle moon bad played him false.
I lie probably, like me as • c,v upon
I the defensive. Who would move first?
I finally decided to » the Initiative,
I for the suspense was intolerable.
I Demetrius. T reflected, was siiff in the
I joints, his muscles less supple than
i mine, his sense of hearing less acute.
| Youth was on my side, experience 011
i his. The two players in the game were
J at least fairly matched.
Had it not been for Burlington, T could 1
1 have easily escaped by the window and
! alarmed the household; but I dared not
i leave my jiaticnt. Tlis somewhat ster
' torou<s bren'Mrg was the onlj" •onnd
.which broke the silence. If I were killed
or injured, he was at the metrey of the
GrceJ,.
I confess that, a certain exhilaration
possessed me. as I crawled into Mark's
room, and a sense that I was acting
wisely braced my nerves. The. Greek
could boat me hollow when it came to
scheming, but in a rough-and-tumble
contest I confidently exacted to get the
ibest of him. As soon as I determined
his whereabouts, I decided to rush the
ruffian, ar.d, if possible, strike the first
(so often the last) blow.
I But the unexpected, that element in
I .human affairs which we invariably ,
! ignore, ruled otherwise. I had hardly
i crossed the threshold of the inner room
j 1 when I heard a heavy foot fall in the pas
sage. At the same moment the voiceof
Jap Byers, calling me by name, echoed
j gruffly through the darkness, while a
1 gleam of light pierced the gloom. As
I the door was fluuer open, revealing the
! |thick-set figure of the coachman, lan
i tern In hand, a crash of glass to my
I right set my nerves tingling. Deme
; trius had leaped through the window,
: glissaded down the rcof of the veranda,
' and was already lost to sight. Jap and ,
I confronted each other, our mouths
I agape, our eyes starting from our heads.
I "If this ain't a picnic," said Jap, "what
i Is it?"
"Attempted murder, Jap. You ar
rived in the nick of time."
"I heard that ther hound a-bayin',
Mr. Livingston, an' I suspicioned that
sometliin' —coon, maybe—was stir
rin'. Well, sir, old Sultan wasn't givin"
tongue fer nothin'; fer the next thing I
knowed there was that Greek surpint
a-erawlin* around the house. Thinks I,
I'll watch you, mister, an* maybe take a
hand myself in this yere game. I piped
him off as he unlocked the back door,
and then I saw, not five minutes ago,
the light in Mr. Burlington's room go
out. Gosh! I done some tall thinkin'
right then. I dassn't cry out, 'cause
that'd ha' given the hull snap dead
away. So I fetched the lantern, sashaved

across the j-arJ, and tried the door. It
was unlocked, and then—why, then 1
Jest, fullered my big nose till it led me
here."
"llow much time do you say elapsed
between the putting out of the lightand j
your appearance in this room?"
"Throe minutes, maybe. Not wore." 1
Good heavens! And it had seemed to
me three hours!
Motioning to Jap to remain where lie
was, I hurriedly entered the front room I
and glanced at Burlington. He was 1
sleeping calmly.
"Jap," said T, softly, "something must
be done."
'"That's right," said he. "Let's do it."
"You stay with Mr. Burlington. T !
must see your master at once."
Gerard occupied Nancy's room, who j
was sleeping with her mother. In less j
I than five minutes I had recited the |
I facts. He listened attentively, his glit
tering eyes bent sternly upon mine:
that he fully assimilated my amazing
| narrative I could not doubt. 1
I "Demetrius," i said, in conclusion, j
"murdered Ferdinand Perkins, partly
from jealous r->gc. partly ;o pave tl c
way for his own advancement. Every
thing else follows in natural -< qnence.
He alone knew that Perkins, not you, .
would be left that f >1 night; he was
in possession of your cipher; be took -
advantage of your love for Mrs. llur
lincrton to render you a gen ice which be
thought half your fortune would
scarcely repay; lie. with devilish clever
ness, played upon the feelings of .1 nerv
ous woman and hounded her to yonr
ni ins; he made capital out of yonr shat
tered nerves; he —"
"Enough," said Gerard, hoarsely; "I
am satisfied. My God! how cruelly
that fiend has used me! And —" his voice
failed—"and my little Mark is in his
bloody hands! Come! not a second is
to be lost."
He flung his clothes upon his lanky
person, and sputtered out his fears.
Demetrius, he felt assured, would hast
en to the island, hold Mark as a host-age.
and make what terms he pleased. 1 saw
tlie force of this reasoning. As he said,
not a moment was to be wasted.
"Mr. Gerard," said I, "you must stay
hpire. Let me act for you. I shall take
.Tap with me, and you can rely upon my
mother-wit to rescue Mark and bring
Demetrius to the gallows. You are
i not—"
"Hugo," he rejoined, impressively,
"you think I am a coward, not fit for
such a desperate adventure as this w ill
prove. My lad, fate plays queer tricks |
with us. That night at lied Gulch
' paralyzed my nerves. This night's work '
has undone the. mischief. I'm ready. !
bv Jupiter, to encounter that monstir
single-handed. And, Hugo. 1 mistrust
i that hot head of yours. My child's life
! is at stake. Demetrius is desperate.
It it. comes to choosing between Mark's
' life ar.d the capture* of the Greek, how
could I hesitate? You might precipitate j
more bloodshed. God knows there has ;
! been enough. Come."
A few minutes later we w ere on our !
{ way, Gerard walking with feverish I
j strides ahead. The nurse was left with i
I Burlington.
"Je-roosalem!" whispered Jap to me. j
: "ye'll let me have one crack at the son of j
j a gun, Mr. Livingston, won't ye. now ?" j
"I went more than one myself, Jap. 3
j But I'll try and remember you."
I had fonr'i'atrd in my own mind a j
j plan which 1 dared not. sh.:re with Mark j
j G -ttrd. l.eft to himself, I foresaw that I
| he would sacrifice justice to his love for
the IKJV —that the Greek would go scot- I
I free, to enjoy his ill-gotten gains. And :
| such a thought was exasperating, i
Taking advantage, the r efore, of my '
patron's long strides, I dropped to the 1
rear and submitted my scheme to the
worthy Jap. He was good enough to |
approve it mightily, and eagerly j
i proffered bis assistance.
"If we don't corral the cuss, Mr. Llv- j
ingston. I swear Dl-j—l*ll never be able
ter kiss Danish Mary aariln—and cnj'y j
it."
I told him to be of good cheer and to |
carry out my instructions to the letter. |
Before we crossed the low sand-dunes
which lay between the marshes and the I
sea, Jap extinguished the lantern, and j
we held a brief council of war. It was j
decided to treat with the enemy under
friendly cover of the fog, the whitest
and largest of flags of truce.
"It would be wise," said I, "to advance
in open order. The but is provided with
a large-ltore duck-gun, and a charge of j
swan-shot might excite a panic."
"I'll take the center," said Gerard,
"and do the talking."
"I'll take the left," said Jap. "an' do
the ctissin'."
"And I'll take the right," said I, "and j
keep my mouth shut."
The fog was now so thick that an ob- ,
ject a dozen yards away could not be j
seen at all.
"The first thing to determine is j
whether the Greek i« here," observed j
Gerard. "Are you ready? Then — I
march!"
Our commander-in-chief halted at the '
identical spot where I bad stood a few j
| hours before, and I heard him sigh !
heavily as he realized that the boat was j
on the wrong side of the channel. The 1
Greek had returned.
"Demetrius," he yelled, thrilly,
"come out."
"I am here," was the instant, reply. '
I waited for no more, but ran noise- 1
lessly for some fifty yards to the right, j
It was bitterly cold, but T stripped off
coat, waistcoat and boots. Then, hold- !
ing my gun in my left hand. I pushed ;
through the tules and entered the icy ,
water. The channel was deep, and. at
the place I had selected, broad. A swim
was inevitable
When T reached the island I removed
my dripping underclothes and stole for- (
ward, naked as an Indian. I feared j
that the swish of wet cloth might l»e- 1
tray my approach, and, besides, the j
clinging garments might impede the j
free, use of my limbs. Demetrius must |
be taken, if possible, alive, and I de- I
ekled to leave the gun within reach and j
to trust, to my muscles and a knife 1
which 1 thru«» lietwccr my : fth.
What p:: -ed between master and man')
while I was executing these maneuvers 1
I learned subsequently. Demetrius, as j
we had expected, submitted a cut-and- 1
dried proposition, worthy, I nrnst nd- (
mit, of li -übtle brain.
He denied not birr and conceded J
not ..ing. but his conditions implied ad-
I mission of guilt. Briefly, they were as ;
I follows: Gerard and bis party were to j
n ' irn to the house and stay there. He 1
and Mark would take the morning train j
to the city. There, iu San Francisco, !
he would leave the boy at some hotel— !
he naturally did not specify the hotel — !
mid go his way. if —lie laid great em- 1

Finally, tied hand and foot and stdl

The man untied the boat- and pushed
I off. I had found a pair of overalls In the
j hut, and an overcoat, belonging to De
metrius. In these I felt fairly com
fortable, and my teeth stopped chat
tering. Xone the less it was bitterly
cold; and I felt that my patron's pro
testations of gratitude might be de
ferred. Gerard, however, was fever
ishly loquacious, and could not be si
lenced.
"Cold?" he exclaimed. "By heavens,
1 never v*ns .•*> pleasantly warm in my

get your heart frozen. My body is a

"My body isn't," I returned. "We
j can discuss these matters later, sir, tin

with a burning dose of pneumonia."
We had stood for fully ten minutes
exposed to the raw fop-, anil I cut. short
his chatter by moving towards the hut.
i I thought, too, that 1 heard th ■ voice of
I the Greek.
"Gad"' said I, "Demetrius has come

Gerard started at. the • words, ran
\ nimbly ahead and entered the hut. I
heard an oath, followed by a scream
I from the boy, and then —a horrid thud,
i As I burst through the door the Greek
' met me, a bloody Knife in his hand, and

' the boy. With both feet tied, he
moved slowly and with difficulty, and
: Gerard had time to fling himself be

THE ETHER DRINKING HABIT.
\ lc«» lircnn In Irrlaud und Sprrad tu
Liiulniul uud (hr toDllurnl.
The recent death from un overdose of
ether of the celebrated Dr. I.uys hns
brought once more into prouiiuence
the question of etheromania. A few
j ears ago" this vice was limited to Kng
lai.d, but now it ha.s reached the con
tinent. The ether habit, more reflned
perhaps than the passion for alcohol,
is beginning to make many victims
We can count by hundreds now the
people v\ ho take ether every day. They )
mix it with alcohol, and in that way
obtain a drink that intoxicates rapidly, i
The confirmed ether drinkers take it
in its purity and in ordinary doses of
from eight to fifteen grammes. The
beginners take water before and after
'heir ether, but the hard drinkers neg- ;
lect this precaution, which diminishes
the burning sensation In the stomach. I
There are some ether tit-inkers who
take 130 grammes at a time.
Drunkenness comes on rapidly, and
also passes away in a comparatively
short time. The first symptom is vio
lent excitement with abundant saliva
tion. Sometimes epileptiform convul
sions are observed, and when the dose
is too strong they are followed by stu
' por. Nothing in the effects has been
observed which resembles delirium tre
mens except in cases in which whisky
and ether are blended.
But if drunkenness from ether is
less degrading than drunkenness from
alcohol, it is far more dangerous. It
| leads to insanity and death and soon
i brings about marked changes in the
temper and in the health of the ether
omaniac. Take this portrait of the
ether drinker and you will find serious
motives for avoiding the drug:
"The ether drunkard is quarrelsome
(ind untruthful, llis condition of mind
resembles that of |>eople afflicted with
•■ertain nervous diseases. lie suffers
from gastric troubles and nervous pros
tration. He becomes the slave of his
passion, like the opium smoker, and
the cures of the passion are rare. It is
•impossible to save a person afflicted
with this malady except on the condi
tion of his renouncing completely the
ether habit, and this seldom happens
As a rule, an etheromanioe Is never
cured except by the Imposslbl'ity of
(satisfying his passion. There is no
ether remedy but confinement and the
« 1 osest guarding at all times."
T.iko the morphinomaniacs, the slaves
of ether may become addicted to their
vice after certain maladies. Sometimes,
when a patient suffers from headache,
«t handkerchief steeped In ether is put
under his nose. Relief comes quickly,
and he inhales the drug with delight.
After a few inhalations great freshness
in the face and in the respiratory or
gans is felt. The dose is doubled in or
tier to double the agreeable sensation,
with the result that n delicious ecstacy
is experienced, and gradually the habit
is acquired and continues until at last
an overdose results in death.
The origin of this singular vice is
obscure. Some say that the Trish peas
ants began to drink ether In 1840. at the
time when Tather Matthew was preach
ing the crusade against alcohol. Oth
ers accuse the doctors of having pre
scribed ether too liberally. Finally the
question of price has its importance, es
pecially among the poorer classes, for
ether produces intoxication easily and
Is cheaper than alcohol.
Tliunk Heaven, the ether drunkards
are at present relatively rare in Paris.
In London the keepers of the various
Fquares and park* often find under the
trees empty vials labeled "ether" that
have been thrown there by the maniac?
who quit tbeir hemes in order to in
dulge their favorite passion at their
case. At Kpsom after the races many
flasks of ether are picked up among
empty champagne bottles.
Hut it is. in certain portions of Ire
land thut the vice of ether drinking is
most common. There are regular ether
«lH>ps. the oldest of which was estab
lished in IS4O at Draperstown. There
they drink a mixture of alcohol and
ether, 15 grammes of which are suffi
cient to put anyone into a reverie. The
railroad in the little district of Crooks
town carries every year 2,000 tons of
fther. and an equal qunntity at least Is
brought there by other roads. Two
merchants of the neighboring villages
I sell every vear 4,500 pints of ether. At
| Draperstown and at Crookstown the
air is charged with the vapors of ether
on market days, and this some odor is
present constantly In the third-class
»-nrr!ag's of the Derry Central railway.

STEALING GOLD DUST.
War* In Which ikr Tricky Miner
lirai. 111. Kntployer.
With the last batch of Klondike™ to
arri*« eanie the news that seme tell
stealing was being done by the hired
miners workhig on the biggest claims.
Old-timers have been looking for the
r.ews before this, and the only expla
nation of its nonarrival before is that
there have been comparatively few
hired men, most of the Klondike claims
being worked by their owners.
As soon as the big syndicates and
organized companies which have been
formed the past summer get into work
ing shape and employ large numbers
of men it is believed that the stealings
will surpass any in the history of gold
mining, and that is saying a good deal.
riacer mines are the easiest for the
dishonest miner to get in his fine
work, and these are the only kind that
have so far been operated in the Klon
dike district, owing to the difficulty
of transporting milling machinery to
handle the quartz.
Hired miners in the Klondike receive
from sls to S2O per day. In some of the
richest claims a man washes from SIOO
to SSOO worth of dust a day. Of course
the latter figure is the exception. If a
man extracts a thimbleful of dust from
his day's yield he adds about S2O to his
pay.
Your correspondent's informant said
that some of the men were not content
with a thimbleful, and at least one man
was known to have appropriated two
ounces, about $34 a day, for 80 days'
running. The owner of the mine knew
of the thefts, but he didn't want to dis
charge the man as he was an expert In
handling the pan and showed more gold
each day than two other men -who
worked wfthin half a dozen feet of him.
But when the fellow lifted his dally
rake-off to three ounces a day, the own
er got hot, smashed the man in the face
with a shovel and told him II he didn't
leave by the next boat he would bring
the matter to the attention of the pub
lic administrator in Dawson City and
have him sent up.
There is a 20 years' penalty attached
to theft of that kind and the thief was
considered lucky to get off as he did.
If the mine owner had wsnted to make
trouble he could have killed the man
and no one would have bothered him.
But he happened to be an eastern man
who wasn't in the killing business and
whose only anxiety Is to get everything
out of his claim and go home with his
riches.
When one looks at the history of
thefts in other gold fields, even those
where quartz mining was the rule and
where the miners were watched under
the most careful systems that could
be devised, it is easy to imagine what
will happen in the Klondike next sum
mer when the thousands of new
comers get in working shape and force
the prices of labor down to bed rock.
Then, it is believed, petty thieving
will be the order of the day.—lowa

COLDER THAN YUKON REGION.
Ninety Degree* Below Zero Marked
Last Year la StCerla.
There Is as yet no positive record of
the lowest range of the thermometer in
the upper Yukon region, but it is safe
to assume that this range extends year
ly to the —SO-degree or —6O-degree
line, with a not improbable occasional
descent to a somewhat lower level. This
would be approximately the low-level
temperature of the true Arctic regions,
and yet by no means the lowest that
has ever been recorded. Thus Kane, in
his Arctic service, has seen — 75 de
grees, and the officers of the British
polar expedition of 1876 recorded an
almost equivalent temperature of —72
degrees. On the other hand, the lowest
registry of Mr. Peary's thermometer
was only —53 degrees. Compared with
regions lySng to the further south, the
winter climate of the Klondike does
not differ in severity very materially
from that of many parts of the more
thickly inhabited portions of British
America, as Manitoba or Alberta, or
even from Dakota or northern and cen
tral Minnesota, where almost annually
the mercury freezes in Hts tube.
While possibly sufficiently low to
meet all the requirements of human
happiness or discomfort, this f reeling
cold is yet far from equaling what Is
a regular occurrence in many parta of
inhabited Siberia. At the governmental
town of Yakutsk, which is situated a
short distance without the Arctic realm,
a spirit marking of —75 degrees Is no
infrequent event, and even— Bo degrees
is hardly sufficient to disturb the equa
nimity of the inhabitants. In the win
ter of 1894-95 the low record of 82 de
grees was established. At Verkojansk,
Just beyond the Arctic circle, the ther
mometer in a single day in January,
1996, marked —9O degrees. This is the
lowest natural cold that has ever been
recorded, but the region it marks
has long been recognized as one of the
"poles of cold" of the earth. Incidental
reference to cold of —BO degrees has
been transmitted from the Klondike,
but there can be Tittle question that this
is an exaggeration of the actual sever
ity of the climate, the result of careless
observation or of Instruments whose
rating is imperfect. Philadelphia

be converted into antitoxins only by

these the crocodile stands at the head

nevertheless difficult to imagine of what
