Alaska Impossible to Autolata.
The New York to ParlR automobll-
lata have found speedy realization of
the prediction that when tbey reached
Alaska they would learn what bad
going actually meant. At least, the
only car which has yet gone thus far
has made the discovery. The Ameri-
can machine, which It was expected
would push on through the Alaskan
wastes to Nome, on the western aide
of the territory, there taking ship pas-
sage to Siberia, la halted at Valdez. A
dispatch from that point to the news-
paper which la behind the acheme aaya
it will be Impossible to go through
Alaska Experiments made under con-
ditions there, one featuro lelng a
heavy snowstorm, shows there la
nothing but narrow trails, which can-
not be "negotiated" by the autoa. So
the whole outfit has been loaded on a
steamer which will return to Seattle,
and from that point a vessel will take
the car and the party accompanying It
to Vladivostok. The dispatch from
Valdez Bays with refreshing frankness:
"It 1b Impossible for any man who has
not seen the trail over which the mail
1b carried from Valdez to Fairbanks to
realize the conditions that exist to-day.
To consider making the trip across
Alaska in the face of such conditions
would bo a dream of 'a cgeechaco
Blyass,' in the Chinook jargon, which
means tho Alaskan tenderfoot." In the
9pinlon of the Troy (N. Y.) Times, this
outcome is not surprising, for at the
outset it was predicted In various quar-
tera that no automobile could succecd
In getting through the Alaskan wilder-
ness. Even the much-berated highways
of New York state must appear like
first-class roada by comparison with
the Alaskan trails. And parts of Si-
beria are likely to be not much better.

American Educational Methods.
Here la another tribute to the value
of American educational methods. In
a paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece, formerly president of the in-
stitution of Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society of Arts In London, the
Bpcaker mentioned the difficulty if not
impoBiibillty of making a comparison
between English and American mcth
ods, owing to the fact that the Ameri-
can boy poBsesseB "the energy and
smartnesB of a new race; the Euro-
pean boy mentally is two years behind
him." This explained the difference in
curricula and examination papers.
But it is American adaptation to these
different conditions which accounts for
the Buccess of educational methods
here. Still further testimony to the
efficacy of American ideas is found in
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style of teaching lan-
guages be put Into practice by an ex-
change of American and German pro-
fessors, the American professors in-
structing German students by this
method, and vice verBa. German edu-
cators are alive to the practical de-
mands of the times, and appear to de-
rive much inspiration from the United
States.
The interest which Germany has
Bhown in the matter of canal construc-
tion and the enterprise which is pro-
viding a great Bystem of interior wa-
terways have been mentioned repeat-
edly. Now comes the announcement
that Bavaria is preparing to provide
Itself with deep canals that will enable
It to have such communication with
the larger bodies as will constitute a
connecting link In traffic between the
North sea and the Black sea. In a
word, Bavaria is ambitious to become
a maritime state. There is strong be-
lief that such a canal Bystem will
bring enormouB benefit to the agricul-
tural and manufacturing industries of
the kingdom, and the plans in contem-
plation involve tho expenditure of $90,-
000,000. Fresh proof that this is a
canal and deep waterways age.
Enoch Arden cases in real life ap
pear to turn out differently. The poet
gave a pathetic finish to the story by
having the hero perform an act of re-
uuBclation by giving his wife up to the
other man. A husband who had been
mourned as dead returned to his Ten-
nessee home to find the lady who had
supposed herBelf to be his widow mar-
ried to another and with a new parcel
of children In the house. He gallantly
waived his legal rights and allowed
the woman her choice between the eld
husband and tho new, and she prompt-
ly took the first, and No. 3 says be
will accept the decision and move to
have the aceond marriage set aHide.
This is not a bit romantic, but it
seems to be a sensible way out of tho
matrimonial tangle.
It is Btated that the heart of a vege-
tarian beats 58 times a minute, and
that of a meat-eater 75 times. Thus
the meat-eating young man with a
vegetarian sweetheart can see how dif-
ficult it is at times for "two hearts to
beat as one."
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
death of the Russian surgeon Plrogotl
has been celebrated by conferring hla
name on a street and hospital at St
Petersburg and endowing an annua;
prize for works on surgery.
CHAPTER I.
Arrow and Fire.
Half a century ago the great region
between the Missouri and the Sierra
Nevada*, except for Denver, Salt Lake
City, and a few mining camps, was a
trackless, forestlesB desolation known
only to Indian, coyote, and venture-
tome emigrant. Yet two men under
the golden wing of the government
planted a line of lonely posts, and
linked them with a chain of stage
coaches. Over this treacherous way
Bped daily messages, men and treas-
ure; sped, and arrived—if frost and
Indians permitted.
Late on an autumn afternoon the
Overland Mail was toiling sunward up
a western rampart of the Rocky moun-
tains. Two passengers were on the
box with the driver. The center man,
booked as Alfred Vincent, was slight,
fair, and, to the superficial eye, young
to boyishness. His air of one bred
to the best of city refinements con-
trasted sharply with his fellow-trav-
eler, who had been introduced as Mr.
Phineas Cadwallader, though the
driver afterwards called him "Blow-
hard Cad," which nickname he vindi-
cated by a constant stream of gossip.
But an astute observer would have
seen that he was trying to penetrate
the reserve, the slight mystery that
surrounded his fellow-traveler.
Yet whatever the mystery, Alfred
Vincent was now posting westward
with a letter in his pocket signed by
Collis P. Huntington, and directed to
Leland Stanford, governor of Cali-
fornia, and president of the Central
Pacific Railroad company. Alfred paid
slight heed to the others. His impa-
tient Imagination winged him far from
present inaction, over mountain and
desert, to the far west, to unguessed
conflicts of the future.
"Holy Mackinaw! Only fools would
think of building a railroad through
thiB God-forsaken country!"
The caustic sentence roused Alfred
from his reverie; and Phineas noted
that "railroad" was the magic word
that broke the spell. The driver, Wil-
liam Dodge, better known as "Uncle
Billy," readjusted his quid of comfort,
spat with precision, and touched up a
lagging leader with the tip of his rod-
long whiplash. "Well, 1 m not taking
the chances of calling Gove no Stan-
ford a fool."
"Of course he ain't. He don't Intend
to build any railroad, either. Not over
the Sierras, anyway. He's got a bet-
ter thing." Phineas' sidewtse look dili-
gently Bought a rift in Alfred's mask.
"Meaning?" Uncle Billy questioned.
"That Dutch Flat Swindle. Those
C. P. fellers have their wagon road
built over the Sierras, and—"
"How in blazes can they build a rail-
road, Cad, without a wagon road?
Don't they have to feed their advance
construction camps? ?>nd won't they
have to do it for years, while they
cut their miles of tunnels?"
•Oh. they'll put their railroad
through to Dutch Flat maybe; but
from there on they'll go it by mules;
take all the toll they can get from the
$12,000,000 freightage Nevada pays
every year to the transportation com-
panies. The C. P. people want a bite
pf Louis McLane's pie, that's all."
"They're going to get it, you bet!"
The driver smiled; yet his low, leisure-
ly words seemed a fiat
"Not by a jugful!" Phineas lifted
his voice and pounded the air; and
Alfred detected the sham note, the
bid for effect. "What do you suppose
we are doing along the line? Why,
San Francisco merchants can sit in
their offices and sell to all California,
to Nevada. Idaho and southern Ore-
gon. at any price they choose to name
And McLane and all the other trans-
portation folks can haul the goods at
their own figures; they won't even let
the towns have post ofHces because
they like to carry letters at half a dol-
lar apiece. San Francisco bay's full of
Bhips, and the mountains are full of
Rold; and we're getting it going both
ways, out and in."
"Yes, yo're taking too much," the
driver replied. "Yo're killing yo
gold-egg goose."
Hhiiieas' smile was unpleasant. "Oh,
no! She's hearty yet. And we won't
divvy up the esgs. either, with those
seven by-nine shopkeepers in-thatmud
hole they call Sacramento. Do you
suppose we'll let them make a fishing-
pond of the bay, and a winter water-
ing-place of San Francisco? Not on
your gold toothpick!"
Uucle Billy's eye Hashed its first
hint of resonlment. "Stanford's worst
enemy wouldn't think of calling hin)
seven-by-nine; and 1 reckon Califorrnt
voters'li have somcihiug to say. Le
land's got right smart influence with
them."
•Yes. They rotad both state and
city bonds, didn't thev, Mr. Dodge?"
Vincent asked, joini&e t!ie conversa-
tion at last.
"Oh, call me Uncle Rilly," said the
driver. "It's so long since anyone
called me Dodge. I need an introduc'
tion to the name."
You bet Stanford's got Influence
with the voters," Phineas broke in be-
fore Uncle Billy came to Vincent's
question. "But San Francisco brains
and dollars can beat voters any time.
Did any of our citizens subscribe for

—charted the imagination with their
mysterious semblances to man's struc-
tures. Alfred Vincent thrilled to each
of these weird voices from the wilder-
ness.
Yet homesickness gripped him as
the rhythmic lioof-beats put him added
miles from the home he still longed for.
He thoght of his sorrow-stricken moth-
er, her love unvanquished by any deed
of his; of her teaching; of the still
more potent example of her pure life
—these memories saddeued, yet soft-
ened him; blended hla eager vision of
the approaching west with the bene-
diction of the spired temple. And for
a space his heart was attuned to
prayer and paean.
Uncle Billy broke the long silence.
"Not yet, my boys," he said affection-
ately to his team.
They had left the black alkaline wa-
ter hshlml. had climbed higher, where
stock? The rabble voted bonds for ub,
but have the supervisors issued them
yet? You bet not!"
"I should think Gov. Stanford could
compel; the law's with him, isn't it?" a thin film of more inuoceni-looki g
Alfred asked, with a languid air that I water was spread on the drab earth
well concealed his Interest.
"Compel? Compel nothing! The
law's slower'n molasses at the north
pole."
"Anyway," Phineas persisted noisily,
"if anybody's going to build a railroad
It'll bo McLane and San Francisco.
By Hookey! If anybody milks this
government cow you bet it'll be us!"
"Well, we need the railroad," Uncle
Billy said positively.
"Need It? What for? Does the east
care about us? Not a pin, except for
our gold. If they get a railroad they'll
demand more of us; and if we don't
pony up, they'll Bhip troops over our
own road to whip us in. No, siree!
We'll be a Pacific republic yet, Cali-
fornia and the other coast states. And
the renegades, red and white, here in
this country that's the back door to
before them. The November sun was
summer-strong, the dust intolerable;
and the mules coaxcd dumbly for
water.
"Not yet, boys," Uncle Bill repeated.
"Isn't it safe?"
"Yes, safe, perhaps, but this is the
sink of the stream; the creek wateh's
a heap betteh a mile furtheh on."
The mile was semi-perpendicular,
and brought them alongside a brawl-
ing stream, willow-hung, with splash-
ing trout in the still pools, and wild
ducks skimming a large pond at the
edge of a small mesa. After welcome
draughts for man and mule they
veered away to another climb. The
gorgeous evening pageant was nearly
over when the team swung around a
sharp rocky point, and one of the lead
ers shied far out of the road. The

were crossing—"they're just the fel-
lers to stand off Uncle Sam."
"Isn't that secession?" Alfred asked
with a scrutiny Phineas resented.
"Secession? No, it's self-preserva-
tion. Anyway, think of getting a rail-
road round Cape Horn! It'll take a
century!"
"Then they'll tote It across the
isthmus," Tncle Billy said calmly.
"Oh, you're dead stuck on them
Sacramento chaps, Uncle Billy; and
that is bad for you. They'll bust your
game aud leave you flat broke."
Call on me In '70 and—" Uncle
Rilly began, when a trace caught on
a rock and snapped. "Accident num-
beh 12. Thirteen'll be a whoppeh,
boys!" he remarked as nonchalantly
as if he had only lost a whip snapper
in a city street. He stopped the team,
handed the lines to Alfred, and stepped
lightly down to repair the damlge.
"Guess I'll go inside for a nap
Phineas yawned and climbed over the
wheel into the stage.
"Do you believe the Pacific railroad
can be built?* Alfred inquired, wlwn
the swinging six had again settled U
their steady trot
"There's fresh blood ahead. TV*t
Cooly mule can smell It a mile; it's
the only thing he shies at. Hold these
ribbons, young felleh, while I prospect
a little."
He came back presently, his weath-
er-beaten face sobered and stern.
"Wake up In there! Them Injuns has
blocked the road again."
Phineas, suddenly disturbed from
his long and noisy nap, climbed out
with poor grace. "The old man has
no business to send passengers over-
land without escort. It's an outrage!
It isn't my business to clear the road!"
"Here, come up here and hold the
team! I'll help the driver," Alfred
called.
"No! I caln't trust my team with
him! He don't—" Uncle Billy Inter-
rupted.
But authority rang in Alfred's tone.
The change had been made, aud lie
was already stalking after the driver.
Around the point the sight he sud-
denly came upon made him reel-
turn sick and white.
"I know it would be too much for
I you, boy; but now yo'ro hyah get to
I work V'e hadn't a minute to lose."

small hands. Alfred's 'hack was
turned, yet he «euld feel—see—those
—the gruesome spectacle behind.
What could be done? How should
they be disposed of?—but there w-*?
no time for question.
"Can you beali a .tiaad hyah, Vin-
cent, and quick?"
He tut-ned. The driver had already
lifted the shoulders of oue; Alfred
took the feet.
"Right fo'ward hyah, round the
point."
"You—you aren't going to—to
leave—"
"Yes, we'll have to, if we don't
want to look the same way mighty
soon!" «
"Can't we put them in the stage?
It's awful to leave them!"
"It may be worse to take them; and
I'm afraid we'll need tho stage for the
living If—If we get through."
Alfred said no more; aud Uucle Billy
warmed to him as he saw the clear-cut
jaw set and a steely light creep Into
the dark violet eyes.
"He'B game!" I'ncle Rilly whispered
to himself.
Gently they disposed of the poor,
mutilated bodies, and hurried back to
the stage. The driver armed each
passenger with a rilie and revolver;
and ordering Alfred beside him, and
Phineas to keep the lookout from the
top, he swung his team into the road
and drove forward through the cut
with slajh and oath.
Dark was stealing on, yet the sun's
good-night glory still lingered, its
flaming banners striking into the over-
head darkness, flooding earth and
heavens with strange, sinister color.
Alfred thought of what lay behind, and
gripped his gun sharply. The team
slowed, and Uncle Billy no longer plied
the lash.
"See that light there, away yon to
the left?"
"Yes."
"That's Anthony's, the next station.
Some one's alive there, and that some
one is white, or there wouldn't be a
candle light; the whole place would
be alight." Relief Unspeakable
breathed in his words, and a half mile
passed in silence.
"This is a terrible way to earn a
living!" Alfred said at last.
"Yes; but 1 his job's easy compared
to the trick the pony express boys
used to play."
"This is dangerous enough. I won-
der the company can induce men to
undertake the work. Don't you find
it wearing?"
"Oh, yes, I suppose it is. It's right
smart skeery sometimes, 'specially at
night when I make the trip alone. And
I wondeh paEsengehs don't buck
against being sent across without es-
cort, like now."
"They would if they know what
they'd see. But it's infinitely worse
for you drl e*s."
"Well, I reckon th* Lord knows his
business, an' mine, too. I Agger all I
got to do is to see he don't catch me
asleep on the box."
A sudden admiration for this hero
of the desert v>armed Alfred's heart
"This time I'd hated to let theffl
bacon-colored critters get me before
I got to Anthony's. Those tracks are
all fror,i Anthony's; and there's more
thau men and property—there's An-
thony's little gal, and—"
Alfred shivered at the significant
pause.
"Anthony's had hard lack. He's one
of God's best, if he is set up a mite
queer.''
"Does he live alone? Oh, no; I sup-
pose he has a helper as they have at
other stations, hasn't he?" Alfred
hoped the driver would tell him more
of the station agent, not because of
his own interest in the agent, but that
he might be saved from thinking.
"Yes, he has a helper, Gid Ingram;
but he's only a bey, If he is big. And
Stella, pore little chicken! She—"
Alfred waited discreetly.
"Away back In the fifties Anthony
struck it rich oveh Washoe way," Un-
cle Billy began again In a steadier
tone. "Struck It powerful rich; panned
out money fa>3teh'n ho could count It.
And what did he do but put up the
durndest biggest palace this side ol
'Frisco—put it up right there where
he struck tin. It was a bang-up place
fo' sho'; big rooms with floweh gyar-
dens in the carpets, and floweh gyar-
dens on the wells; gold chairs, and
looking glasses till yo'd see yo'self so
many times yo'd tfcink yo'd got 'em

"Tl%t there house," he continued
presently, "stood in a little artificial
looking gyarden, just as sassy as a jay

of the Si-eery Nevaydys. But the
whole blamed outfit looked awful lone-

place, like a peafowl In full spread oa

"Didn't Mr. Anthony have a fam

"Yes, one little gal; that was all.
