It was a quiet night In the Tivoli At the bar, which ranged along one side of the large chlnked-loroom, leaned half a dozen men, two of whom were discussing the relative merits of spruce tea and lime juice as reme- dies for scurvy. They argued with an air of depression and with intervals of moiose silence The other men In a row, scarcely heeded them. against the opposite wall, were the gambling games. The crap table was deserted. One lone man was playing at the faro table. The roulette was not even spinning, and the gamekeeper stood by the roaring, red hot stove, womtalking with a young, dark-eyean, comely of face and figure, who was known from Juneau to Fort Yukon as the Virgin. Three men sat In at stud poker, but they played with small chips and without enthusiasm, while there were no onlookers. On the floor of the dancing room, which opened out at the rear, three couples were walts-indrearily to the strains of a violin and a piano. Circle City was not deserted, nor was money tight The miners were In from Moosehead creek and the other diggings to the west, the summer washing had been good, and the mens pouches were heavy with dust and nuggets. The Klondike had not yet been discovered, nor had the miners of the Yukon learned the possibilities of deep No work was digging and wood-firindone In the winter, and they made a practice of hibernating In the large camps like Circle City during the long Arctic night. Time was heavy on their hands, their pouches were well filled and the only social diversion to be found was In the saloons. Yet the Tivoli was practically deserted, and the Virgin, standing by the stove, yawned with uncovered mouth and said to Charley Bates: If something dont happen soon. Im goln to bed. Whats the matter with the camp, anyway? Everybody dead?" Bates did not even trouble to reply, but went on moodily rolling a cigaDan MacDonald, pioneer rette. and gambler on the upper Yukon, owner and proprietor of the lornly across the great vacant space of floor and Joined the two at the stove Anybody dead? the Virgin asked d g him.- - "Looks like It, was the answer. Then it must be the wbele camp, she said with an air of finality and with another yawn. MacDonald grinned and nodded, and opened his mouth to speak, when the front door swung open 'and a man appeared In the light. He would have appeared a large man had not a huge stepped up to him from the bar and gripped his hand. Hello. Daylight! was his greeting. By Gar, you good for sore eyes! blow Hello.

Another huge man detached himself from the bar to shake hands. Olaf Henderson and French Louis, partners together on Bone creek, were the two largest men In the country, and though they were but half a head taller than the newcomer, between them he was dwarfed completely. "Hello. Olaf," said the one called Daylight "Tomorrows my birthday. And you, too, Louis. Come up and drink, and Ill tell you-al- l about it The arrival of the newcomer seemed to send a flood of warmth through the the place. "Its Burning Daylight, Virgin cried, the first to recognize him as he came Into the light Charley Bates tight features relaxed at the sight, and MacDonald went over and Joined the three at the bar. With the advent of Burning Daylight the whole place suddenly . became brighter and cheerier. The barkeepers were active. raised. were Voices Somebody laughed. And when the fiddler, peering Into the front room, remarked to Its Burning Daylight, the pianist: the waits time perceptibly quickened, and the dancers, catching the contagion, began to whirl about as If they really enjoyed it It was known to e that nothing lanthem of guished when Burning Daylight was around. He turned from the bar and saw the whman by the stove and the Yager look of welcome she extended him. "Hello, Virgin, old girl, he called. "Hello, Charley. Whats the matter with you-all- ?
