THe Girl From Gold Gulch.
How She Outwitted an
BY W. W.
rrTHE excursion season was nt
I . lta height, fliul the Alaska
I liner, Senntor, wns crowded.
(T Tlicre were tourist parties
from all over the country; gold-seekers
of nil Hurts and conditions on their way
to the loe fields; Nome Government otll
rlals on their regular rounds of lnspec
tlon; companies of school tenehers
pager to crowd the trip Into their short
vacation: the inevitable bridal couples
and several family parties, but the girl
Train Gold Gulch was traveling nlone.
The llrst clay out was so rough that
ill the womeu kept quietly out of sight
all but the Kill from Hold. Gulch, who
rontiiled to the captain that the motion
Of I lie ship was not unlike that of n
bucking horse, mid that she rather
liked it. So. crushing her cap down
over her eyes, and buttoning her rag
tan close up to her chin, she strode res
olutely up ou deck to find herself mon
arch of all she surveyed.
I'.y the end of the day she had accept
rd every possible courtesy from every
man cm board, and was beginning to
think she saw her way clear to a pleas
int passage. But wlieu. the next day,
the other women, white-faced and mis
frablo. began to straggle upward, the
wild rose color and the ability of this
Clrl to walk tin? decks In slippery
weather, became to them a personal af
front, for seasickness Is not conducive
to the practice of Christian charity. So
very day thereafter the little group
that formed itself Into an exclusive
for'ard circle, made common cause la
llscussing the impropriety of this
young girl's traveling without a chap
eron. Miss Mamie McGlnnis, of Cold
Gulch, never joined that group. Not
that she knew, or would have cared
If she had, that she was the target for
their criticism. She always found her
self the centre of another group on the
apposite deck. where she held full
Sway, or promenaded the decks Willi
some equally good sailor till the others
had gone below; following always her
own sweet will, nud never suspecting
She had not the benediction of the
elect. It was Mrs. Whilewall-Wnrd"
who -was the most horrified by Miss
MeOinnis's escapades. She. with her
three florid, raw-boned daughters, had
come to America first to visit her son,
Algie, on his cattle ranch, and now
with Algie himself, more florid and
raw-boued than all four of the others
put together, she was making a flying
trip to Alaska to see her youngest son,
Winston.
One evening even as they caucused
on the probability of her being an ac
tress or chorus girl on her way to join
her troupe, two figures swayed Into
the arc of light emitted from the cabin.
The wind-blown hair of the girl, and
the frills about her shoulders left no
doubt as to her Identity, for her gowns
were also a subject of disapproval
among the elect, but the tall black
figure behind her was Inst in the
shadow. A dozen pairs of eyes strained
eagerly to see who It might be. their
owners conjecturing and commenting
on what new freak of indiscretion she
was up to. Then, as if in answer to
the curious gaze riveted upni. fliom.
the figures turned and came to a stand
still under the light.
The man's cigar had evidently gone
out. for with. a gay little laugh the girl'
tool; his proffered mutch, reached out
her arm, and steadied herself agaiust
his ready shoulder as If he had been a
mast. Then there was a sudden swish
of frills, the gleam of a shoe buckle
nud something more' and the girl had
struck the match, man-fashion, on the
sole of br boot, and was holding the
tiuy flame to his cigar.
At this the Englishwoman turned
with a horrified countenance to point a
moral to Algie, who had not seemed to
disapprove of this terrible girl's con
duct sufficiently, but Algie had Flipped
his leash and was not at her elbow.
The next flare of the match showed Al
gie's florid face bendingover the laugh
ing eyes of the girl, and Algle's big
hand closing over the pink fingers that
held the match.
Hoping no one hut herself had seen
this flashlight picture. Mrs. Warde,
With characteristic arrogance, turned
the topic of discussion, and dominated
the conversation so skfllfuliy that no
one hud a chance to refer to the sub
ject uppermost in every mind until she
felt It safe to withdraw. Then, cluck
ing up her raw-boned brood, she fled
Into the bosom of her family, there to
call down curses on the curly head of
this terrible girl who was trying to en
tangle poor Algie in her meshes.
The captain, of course, was taken
Into Mrs. Whltewall-Warde'g conti
dence. and threatened with being re
ported to the company If he did not put
the girl In irons to save poor Algie, or
atop the ship and put her off, and the
clouds of disapproval from the rest of
the elect gathered so thickly thut the
very air seemed charged with explo
sives. Even the girl at last began to
realize thut she was not entirely popu
lar with this faction: she had not
taken much notice of the womeu here
tofore, and their disapproving glances
had escaped her. When the full force
of their attitude struck her she turned
abruptly to Algie with: "Is your mother-worried
about something?"
"Aw. she's a bit chafed about some
thin' she saw last night, you know," he
explained, looking somewhat brow
beaten himself.
"And your sisters, too," she contin
ued, cheerfully,' "they look as If they
had been pulling out somebody's hair.
Do they get that way often?"
"Oh, those girls are waxy," he blurt
4 relieved at being a bin to give vent
to his feelings; "they're always waxy "
"What a lovely lot they must bo," re
marked the srfrl. staring at them delib
erately. ttnd letting them see they were
being discussed by their brother and
herself. "They don't aeem to be hav
lug any fun at all." she add-d. wonder
lug why they didn't scrape up an ac
quaintance with the half-dozen univer
sity students on board.
But here, to their consternutlon, they
saw Algle's mother bearing down upon
them with a look of fell determination

dodging his mother's look and retreat
lug ungnllantly, leaving the girl alone
ou the field.
"Ah, yes, to be sure. Miss McGlunis,
she repeated after him. looking straight
over the girl's head and taking Algle's
chair, which, considering Its change of
occupants, was drawn unpleasantly
close.

person," the woman began, wasting no
time on preliminaries, "and seem to

know It is highly Improper for a girl
of your age to be traveling about alone.
without a chaperon?
"Nope." the girl's rosy lips lisped In
dlerently. "loll never hear of such
things in (Sold Gulch."
"Can It be thut there Is no attempt
to preserve decorum of any kind In
these western wilds?" asked Mrs
Warde. Incredulously.
lep, course." answered Miss Mc
Glnnis, indignantly. "It things go
wrong, much, somebody gets shot.
See?"
"Then, for your own good," the wom
an continued, finding the Gold Gulch
code inadequate to the occasion, and
still looking over the girl's head. "I
shall tell you that every one on board
Is horrified by the way you are carry
ing ou, and the rest of the voyage you
must either mend your ways or stay
below, or "
"Or what?" the girl interrupted, rest
ing her eyes calmly on the heated face
of the older woman, with a look of
deep Interest.
"Or let Algie alone," commanded his
mother, surprised off Jier dignity by
the girl's cool question.
"Oil, I'm not doing a thing to Algie,"
the girl answered, Innocently. And It
was owlug to tht" matron's Ignorance
of American collonuialism that she
was made no wiser by this frank con
fession. "It would do you no good to try to
win his esteem, you know, for It is ar
ranged that he Is to marry his cousin
In England."
"I did not try to win his esteem,"
the girl Interrupted, hotly, "lie Just
up and "
"He what?" the British matron al
most screamed.
"He just up and said 'how-d'y-do?'
when wo met on deck," the girl ex
plained. "And now you'll have to ex
cuse me while I go and dress for din
ner." And with a sweeping bow tin
girl sprang up and was gone.
At dinner the "terrible girl," as she
was designated by the elect, changed
her plan of campalgu. Instead of con
vulsing her listeners with her nmusing
prattle, she sat silently listening to Al
gie, hanging with breathless attention
upon bis every word, until be began
to feel like a great hero. The stern
British matron sat glaring nt them, not
knowing whether she had been routed
or not, but gathering her forces for n
furious and tinal attack. As the girl
noticed these signs her spirits seemed
to rise beyond all precedent, nnd she
telegraphed messages across the table
that said unutterable tilings, appar
ently quite unconscious that other
had been there before and understood
her cipher.
The elect gathered at the rail as they
reached the deck nud waited apprehen
sively to see what the outcome would
be. The girl's skirmishing, they pro
phesied, would have to go down be
fore the heavy raking fire of the Eng.
lishwr.uiinn's wrnlh, and they watched
her npproach with a feeling akin to
pity. They certainly were not pre
pared to f?c her walk up to Mrs.
Whitewnll-YVnrdo and say coolly: "Will
you walk a little with me? I have
something to say to you."
And neither was Mrs. Warde herself
prepared to hear the girl, with a wom
anly dignity quite new to her: "I think
It only fair to explain to you, Mrs.
Warde. before this feeling 'goes any
farther, that I am going to be married
as soon as the steamer lands, so your
mind will be relieved of any unjust
suspicion that I have been flirting with
your son."
"Oh:" The woman's gasp of reller
came like nn explosion. "So you are
going to be married as soon as we
land?" sbo asked, as soon as sh- cou'd
command herself to say anything.
"Well, as yon have no one to look af
ter you It Is quite the best tiling yon
could do. I hope he Is a good young
man. You must let me be present."
She was determined to see this was no
ruse on the part of the girl to make
her relax her vigilance.
"Oh, will you, really?" asked the
girl, eagerly, -will you promise to
come? 1 have no parents, you know,
nnd I should he so grateful." This,
with a slight break la her voice that
could be attributed to nothing but sad.
uoss.
During the- remainder of the voynge
the prophesy nnent the lion and tile
lamb was fulfilled. Mrs. Warde seemed
to look upon the girl as a sort of deliv
erer, and she was taken to the bosom
of the elect as a protegee of their ring
leader. For all of which the girl
showed her gratitude by having her
trunks brought up and her trousseuu
exploited for Mrs. Warde'g approval.
"But are they not much too elabor
ate for the place you are going?" she
ventured.
"Yep," the girl answered, Innocently,
"but they were made for tho road.
You tee, I wag going out with tho
Gaiety Company to do soubrette part
this season before I decided to lie mar
ried." "Oh. It g true, then, you are an ac
tress?" said Mrs. Warde, with a horri
fled gaip,
"Nope, not now." Miss MeGluuis ex
plained, shifting her quid of gum
gracefnllly Into her cheek. "I'm going
to Jump niy contract, and Mr. ,
hem! he Is going to square It up with
the old man." She always avoided
mentioning the nnme of her fiancee,
which the elect thought a commeudu'
ble show of reticence.
The girl seemed to grow a little ner
vous ns the Senator neared port, and
to avoid the fur-aid cU'clo. "i'0U will!
not fail to mine to my wedding, will
yon?" she again pleaded, enrnestly.
"No," answered Mrs. Warde, thank
ful this disagreeable business was so
soon to be taken off her hands, nnd
deeply mortified that circumstances
had connected her with the affairs o
this little player-person. "You may
depend upon me as I have promised."
Then, with a flush of pity for this lone
little thing, she added: "And I -will
also give you my blessing." This last
remark was made as If she were about
to bestow upon h?r the Order of the
Garter.
"Is your young marl going to meet
you?" asked one of the elect, thinking
the spectacle of a ved-shlrted miner
jumping tip nnd down and -waving his
hat In the air would lie diverting.
"Not on your life," Miss McGinnls
answered, with dignity, "hut. he'll be
at the hotel when wo get there, all
right."
And although there was not even a
proxy to meet her at the dock the girl's
faith In his presence did not waver.
"He'll be there," she assured them, nnd
nsked a favored few to bo present at
the ceremony.
It was several hours after their ar
rival that the guests were assembled
for this impromptu little affair in the
hotel parlor. Mrs. Warde, bored and
tired, leaned back In her chair with
half-closed eyes; Algie anil her own
precious daughters had not been al
lowed to come; this was too mixed nn
affair for them to take any part In.
When the girl entered every eyebrow
was raised to tho limit of its reach ns

she was bewitchlngly prcttv. So ab
sorbed was every one in the girl's looks
they almost forgot thered-shlrted miner
they were looking for, and tho girl
herself. Instead of assuming a becom
ingly modest air, even if she did not
feel It, seemed bubbling over with ill
suppressed mirth. At last a tall fellow
came In at the side door, and, facing
the Justice, turued his back to the peo
ple. The service was shortened to the few
st possible words. When Mrs. Warde
heard the words, "I, Mary Ann McGln
nis." etc.. she drew a deep sigh of re
lief. Tlie girl was now safely disposed
of. and poor Algie out of danger. But
the next Instant her peace of mind
burst like a bubble when the over
whelming words. "I. Winston Gordon
I.cunox Wnrdo," fell upon her startled
cars.
Algie was indeed safe, but to the hor
ror of Mrs. Warde and the remnant of
the elect who had gathered In the par
lor, his youthful brother had been land
ed high and dry by the happy, yet un
scrupulous bride? from Gold Gulch.

but In Johannesburg and Pretoria they
are conspicuous only by their absence,
says Pearson's Magazine. "K" does
not like them. Captain , of n fa

swell officers, alone refused to give up
his monocle for anybody. It was the
current report lu the regiment that he
wore it iu bed and also w'in he took
his batb.
One day Lord Kitchener met the sin
glepaue officer outside the Transvaal
Hotel in Pretoria. "One minute. Cap

ask If It Is absolutely necessary for
you to wear that glass In your eye?"
"Yaas, certainly, Lord Kitchener, er
er I could not see without It."
"I am sorry to hear that, Captain ,
as I intended to give you a staff ap
pointment, but I must have men around
me who can see well. Kindly report
.yourself for duty to the officer com
manding the lines of communication."
The discomfited cavalry officer
olieyed the instructions. Three months
afterward he was taken prisoner by
the Boers, who stripped him of his
clothing and sent him back into camp,
still attired In his eyeglass, but in noth

With th? Introduction of common

'eg comes a more graceful and iiaturn
carriage, and a graceful, natural man
tier of walking, "born of freedom o
movement. Whatever may be said In
praise of the girl of our grandmother'
3avs, she could not hive been graceful,
arrayed ns she was in hoopsklrts, her
ttays tightly laced, and her fret case

Furs For the Winter.
With the npproach of the winter
thoughts turn to the furs, and no little
nnxlety Is felt ns to whether old gar
ments will adapt themselves to new
modes. Ia the matter of design It Is
whispered that a simpler spirit will
prevail during the winter. On the
shorter fur garments it Is reasonably
sure that coattalls will nppenr and
that collars will be flat. Sealskin, It Is
predicted, will find a rival In mole
skin, nlthough the change may be tem
porary. Moleskin has a charming
color and is peculiarly suitable for nn
outer garment because of Its neutral
but bright tone", which harmonizes so
admirably with any shade. Moleskin,
too, Is a perfect background, for all tho
favorite gems. An nttrnctlve wiuter
ostume miglit comprise a skirt a tone
lighter than the fur coat. The blouse.
lint and silk petticoat with these ac
cessories would be charming In either
cream color, pale blue, mauve, a dainty
pink or an emerald green. A moleskin
toque finished with a touch of bright
color Is always attractive.
Easily Made Corset Covers.
Embroidered nainsook nnd Swiss
edgings, Just tlie right depth for corset
covers, nre provided for that use. A
yard and a quarter of the material Is
equlred for a person of average size.
The fitting Is simple. The piece is held.
eubroidered side up. ends In front,
around the body, the back is made
smooth, and openings to fit the arms
are cut In both sides. Any extra full
ness is left iu the front. The arm holes
are faced with plain cloth and the
openings nt the shoulders are enclosed
with ribbons tied at the top. The
fronts are hemmed. Darts to relieve
extra fullness, If the waist is for a
stout figure, may be taken below the
arms. Then across the bottom is
stitched an Inch or an inch and a half
wide bending, and through it a ribbon
s run. This serves ns a belt and ties
n tlie front. Baby ribbon is laced
through the eyelets of the embroidery
nt the top of the front, drawn suffi

Hats For Girls.
Young girls, In choosing lints, world
seem Invariably to take advantage of
picturesque styles, and some of the
straws which nre well shaped have a
most airy effect and look well with the
pretty lace skirts, embroidered with
nised leaves and flowers In silk,
or worked In designs with narrow rib
bons. There Is a very glossy make of
gauze that Is kilt pleated and make?
the prettiest gray dresses, which ara
imply captivating when worn with a
rose hat.
Though not n distinct novelty, the
rose boas have a novel look. These are
composed altogether of delicate silken
rose petals, or (and newer) the petals
stle In a downy bed of marabout.
These are really most exquisite nnd

a (lower In the hair is a signal to all the

sway aud running riot as roses on nn

her tresses, "a flower to liewlteh me In
her hair," and "that rose above her
ear was my undoing."
Whether the hair be black or brown,
red or gold, the charm of primeval fem
ininity remains the same.
