With some such Ideas as these m her mind, it was not surprls-i Ing, then, that she asked, as she slipp ed ouk 05 her chain "Now what yen want me to do fur-ye?" Topsy was pussled at the Question and the look op Suflle's face, but Muver,. realising something of what must be In the heart or the child, replied: "Nothing, Susie, only to tell us. where you live, and one of these days Topsy and I are coming 'to see you, and we -want you." td come back and ' see us, too." So the little -girl went away happier than' she' had, ever been , before. . How different - was Susie's' home from the one she had Just left!- She, with an older, Sister, lived with her father- In three , rooms of an old house occupied . by several -. other families. ThS kindness of this sister to little Su sie was all she knew Of what a home might be, for -tho father, cruel and nearly always drunk, made life a bur dan to , both his children. Susie was late getting home the day of her visit. and this had put the rather in a worse rage than usual, so her sister, Lucy, watched for tho ch'ld, warning her not to come In for a while. Then Su sie hid ou until the beast was in a stupor and by; to-morrow he would have forgotten V What a different home-coming, was this and , Topsy's! Is It any wonder that; children in such homes grow ;4up : criminals? Surely there Is .some remedy for such evil and It seems reasonable to begin with removing the -children from these places.. .

If you will take the trouble to examine thn latest ma.n of the vast end valuable Northwest Territory," purchased by Uncle Sam from Russia in 187 you will And that Fairbanks is on, the Chleivi River, in tne ncn Tanana district, of which it is the thriving metropolis, it lies close to the- Arctic .circle and in common with other communities in the valley of the Yukon has ad average temper ature of about. 10 degrees below sero during the months qt November, De cember, January, 'February and March. At Intervals during thelong winter season the thermometer goes as low as V6 degrees below, the- sero mark, but such an. excessive temcerature Is not absolutely necessary for the successful operation of - the? Fatrba nks game market, although, 4t is true, the ln- tensty of . the Arctic cold Is the chief factor In establishing and maintaining the town's claim to distinction In the Item of its game market. It is almost superfluous to suggest that the mark et, operating as it does only during the months named, is snared the expense of artificial ' refrigerating apparatus. Now, here Is where the novelty be gins, Instead of sklnnlns the same and curing Up the carcass as in the ordinary, every day market, the deer, the moose or the bear as the case may be' Is simply stood up -on the floor of the market, which is located in one of the principal buildings, of the town, and allowed to freete 'solidly within thirty., minutes aftery It toa killed. The low temperature that constantly prevails ' permits the keeping of the game in this shape tor months at a stretch, as once the carcass Is frosen there- la no decay until the freeslng weather is over. fi -..
