9 LODCCDDD0D0OBDODDDODOOWO00g

Harold Tremayne was at eight and twenty a favored clerk in a large busi- ness house in Liverpool, the chum of all his fellow and something of the spoiled pet of his employers. He was in- vited to the senior partner’s residence in the Lake district, and there had the reck- audacity to fall in love with his host’s youngest daughter, Mabel. What is worse, the young lady was not slow in recognizing his devotion or in allowing him to see that she also cared for him. The result was inevitable—an interview with paterfamilias, in which he kindly but firmly pointed out to the young man the impossibility of his pretensions to auything but disappointment.

“I’m sorry for you, Tremayne. It was straightforward and manly of you to speak to me before matters had gone further, but you will, of course, under- stand that while I hope to see you stay with the firm and rise in the office, anrx question of such a marriage is absolutely not to be thought of. Mabel is not 18 and will forget a holiday fancy.” Poor Harold winced. “Each of my girls

will receive as dower the annual inter- est of £20,000 provided she marries with my consent provided her hus-

band has an income of similar or greater

amount.”

Ilarold looked a young man’s scorn of monetary considerations in such a mat- ter, and the old man added, half sadly:

with £800, and how can a young man most rapidly and certainly quadru- ple the former income?

Harold was on the point of saying that |

whether Mabel loved him or not his love for her made staying with the firm im- possible, but restrained himself and oaly repeated his resignation:

“All right,” said Mr. Bartlett, “go if you must, but mind, if you come back,

“IT shall return with £20,000 or not at all,” said Tremayne stoutly.

A strong, healthy young man, Harold had cises; otherwise he had absolutely no fit- ness for roughing it in a mining camp and for the strenuous work of digging or washing for gold. Still, fired by the tales which appeared in the English pa- pers of quickly amassed wealth in and about Dawson City, he determined to place his whole future on the bazard of the die. He had sufficient money for the necessary outfit and expenses for a few months’ stay at the mines and hurried

It was on the steamer that he first had the name of “the English dude” fastened upon him, and for no better reason than that he paid rather more attention to per- sonal neatness than did his fellow voy- agers and treasure seekers. The long Journey was finally accomplished, and Harold Tremayne found himself one of the latest and most ignorant of the in- babitants of the city which had sprung up on the banks of the Yukon river, that politan city crowded with citizens +? =

in the firm of Bartlett, Joyce & Co., and of his late employer’s offer of a junior clerkship on bis return, braced hin to fresh efforts.

He bad tried for weeks to pick tp a thororgh knowledge of the work and to aceustom himself to the long endurgnce

of a miner’s lInbor. Sometimes he had joined with other newcomers and some- times had sought geld by himself, but al- ways with the most ludicrously insignifi- cant “The dude’s luck” proverbial among the older miners, and

results, became

as Hurold journeyed of an evening to the tent which he shared with another ‘ten: derfoot” he would hear men shout te one another:

“Say, Jake, how’ve you got on today?”

“Oh, not enough to cover a nickel—the j k again.’

Iiarold knew that the gibe and the lazgh which followed it were directed against himself, put doggedly continued on his seemingly hopeless hunt for that which meant life and love to him. At length for he could no longer get employment. If he offered his help, he was told blunt- ly, “We don’t want the dude’s luck here.”

Almost worn out with that hope de- ferred which maketh the heart sick, he paused one day to watch an oldish man who worked on in his claim almost with- out intermission. The old man seemed irritated, as though he thought the dude’s luck might be coutagious.

“What d’ye want?” he can’t afford to pay for any dude's help.”

“I want.” said Harold, “what most of us are here for, I aud that is gold.”

“Well, why don’t you look for it ’stead of loafing around and hindering others?’

“Where shall I look?" said Harold in the half tired, half pettish tone of one who had tried everywhere.

“Well,” said the man. pausing from his labors and straightening bis back with difficulty, “if 1 were you [I'd try right there in the middle of that slew.”

This was said with the broadest wink to some other men standing near end was received by them with a loud guffaw of laughter.

To the men’s surprise Harold et once crossed to the slew (ta sma!! depression of marshy land where stagnant water gathered) and was soon busily at work. On the following day he continued and weut down to the office and formally en- tered for the claim. The news spread that the English dude had staked a claim and was working for gold in the Boggy slew. A number of idlers hung about and watched him and amused one an- other with their gibes.

“Say, dude,” would come the familiar impertinence, “don’t you want a partner there?”

“Or a team to carry off the gold?” from another bystander.

Then a pause, and another tormentor would begin. “Don’t forget to give me some shares in the company.”

Then, again, “Say, dude, how many thousand’ll you sell your claim for?”

“With your luck thrown in,” added s further voice.

After a few days Harold's face flushed with a reviving hope. He had found gold in his unpromising claim, and the only question was how soon would it give out. Each day’s work, however, seemed to yield him a heavier return of ore, and at length he found a “pocket” which was in itself a fortune. With an extra heavy load he went down to the bank and was as usual hailed by another gold seeker:

guess,

“Say, anything but water in your slew?” “Nothing much,” replied Harold D

offhand manner. “Only the dude’s luck.”

The find was too remarkable a one to remain long unknown, and it tus soon bruited abroad that the “dude” had made nearly a record “pile.” At once Harold Tremayne found himself courted by those who had laughed and gibed at him but a few hours earlier. He had worked for a goal that he had never lost sight of, aud before the weather, pender-

ed traveling impossibie ne mate arrange-

ments safeguarding his interests in Klon-

dike and returned to Vancouver, already

the master of more wealth than that which Mr, Bartlett had named as an es- — qualification for a son-in-law of is.

Returned “bearded like the pard” from a place where everything is subordinated to the feverish lust for gold, Harold had himself, to use his own words, “shaved into respectability,” and started east with the least possible delay. He had left Liv- erpool in the early spring and was back there once more in the early winter. His vessel arrived in the Mersey about noon, and directly he got ashore Harold pro- ceeded to the familiar offices in Water street.

He was eyed somewhat dubiously by his whilom fellow clerks, who only knew that he had “chucked up his berth” for some whim. With a little trepidation he asked if Mr. Bartlett were in and was at once ushered into the principal partner’s sanctum,

“Ha!” exclaime-) that worthy. “How d’ye do, Tremayne? Back even sooner than I expected.” Then, without waiting for a reply, he rose and called into the outer office: “Mr. Joyce, can we make a vacancy for a new junior? Here’s young Tremayne wants us to give him a fresb start.”

Poor Harold felt in a very awkward quandary. He could not well blurt out: “I’ve made a fortune. Now may I mar- ry Mabel?’ Yet that, of course, was what his return meant. While Mr. Bart- lett had gone to the door, the younger man’s eyes fell upon a copy of The Daily Post on the desk, and he saw in a flasb the following paragraph:

“Among the passengers by the steam- ship due in the Mersey today, is one of the latest of the Klondike mil-
