THE BARRIER
Illustrated by
DENMAN FINK
CHAPTER VIII —The Knife.
In every community, be It never so
small, there are undesirable citizens; and,
while the little party was still at break
fast on the following morning, three such
members of society came around the cab
in and let fall their packs, greeting the
occupants boisterously.
“Well, well!” said i.ee, coming to the
door. “You’re travelin’ k.nd of early,
ain’t you?”
"Yea—early and late,” one of them
laughed, while the other two sprawled
about as if to rest.
“How far are you go in’?”
“Not far,” the spokesm i answered.
Now in the north there is one formali
ty that must be observed with friend or
enemy, and. though Lee knew these men
for what they were, he said:
"Better have some breakfast, anyhow.”
“We just ate.” There was an uncom
fortable pause, then the speaker contin
ued: “Look here. It’s no use to flush
around. We want a piece of this creek.”
“What are you goin’ to do with it?”
••Cut that out. Lee. We’re on.”
“Who wised you up to this?" inquired
the tniner, angrily, for he had other
friends besides those present whom he
wished to profit by this strike, and he
had hoped to keep out thi.. scum.
“Never mind who put us Jerry.
We're here, ain’t we?"
Stark spoke up. “You can’t keep news
of a gold strike when the wind blows,
Lee. It travels on the breeze."
The harm was done, and there was no
use In concealment, so Lee reluctantly
told them of hie discovery and warned
them of the stakes already placed.
“And see here, you fellers," he con
cluded. "I’ve been forty years at this
game and never halt creek named after
me. but this one is goln’ to be called
• “No Creek” Lee creek’ or I fight
Does It go?"
“Sure, that's a good name, and we'll
vote for it"
"Then go as far as you like.” said the
miner, dismissing them curtly.
“I’ll stay along with the boys and show
them where our upper stakes are.” vol
unteered Stark, and Runnion offered to do
the same, adding that it —ere best to
make sure of no conflict so early tn the
game. The five disappeared into the
woods, leaving the others at the cabin
to make preparations for the homeward
trip.
“That man who did the talking is. a tin
horn gambler who drifted in a month
ago. the same as Runnion. and the oth
ers ain’t much better.” said Gale, when
they had gone. “Seems like the crooks
always beat the straight men in."
“Never knowed it to fall,” Lee agreed.
“There’s a dozen good men in camp I'd
like to see in on this find, but it ’ll be
too late ’gin we get back."
“Dose bum an’ saloon feller got all de
be s' claims at Klondike," said Poleon.
“I guess it’s goin’ be de same here.”
"I don’t like the look of this.” ob
served the lieutenant, thoughtfully. "I’m
afraid there’s some kind of a job on
foot ”
"There’s nothing they can do,” Gals
answered.
“We’ve got our ground staked out. and
It’s up to them to choose what’s left.”
They were nearly ready to set out for
Flambeau when the five men returned
“Before you go.” said Stark, "I think
we’d better organize our mining district.
There are enough present to do it.”
“We can make the kind of laws we
want before the gang comes along."
Runnion chimed in, “and elect a recorder
who wilt give us a square deal." v
Til agree if we give Lee the job,"
said Gale. “It’s coming to him as the
discoverer, and I reckon the money will
be handy, seeing the hard luck he's
played in.”
‘That's agreeable to me," Stark re
plied. and proceeded forthwith to call a
miners’ meeting, being himself straight
way nominated as chairman by one of
the strangers. There was no objection,
so he went in, as did Lee. who was
made secretaag, with instructions to
write out the business of the meeting,
together with the by-laws as they were
passed.
The group assembled in the cleared
space before the cabin to make rules
and regulations governing the district,
for it is a custom in all mining sections
removed from authority for the prop
erty holders thus to make local laws
governing the size of claims, the amount
of assessment work, the size of the re
corder's fees, the character of those who
may hold mines, and such other ques
tions as arise to affect their personal
|or property interests. In the days prior
l to the establishment of courts and the
! adoption of a code of laws for Alaska.
■ the entire country was governed in this
■ way, even to the adjudication of crim
inal actions. It was the primitive ma
jority rule that prevails in every new
land, and the courts later recognized and
approved the laws so made and admin-
Tstered, even when they differed In every
district, and even when these statutes
were often grotesque and ridiculous. As
a whole, however, they were direct in
their effect and worked no hardship; in
fact, government by miners' meeting is
looked upon to this day, by those who
lived under it. as vastly superior to the
complicated machinery which later took
its place.
The law permits six or more people
to organise a mining district and adopt
articles of government, so this Instance
was quite ordinary and proper.
Lee had come by his learning slowly,
and he wrote alter the fashion of a
school boy, who views his characters
from every angle and follows their in
tricacies with corresponding movements
of the tongue, hence the business of the
meeting progressed slowly.
It was of wondrous interest to Necla
to be an integral part of such important
matters, and she took pride in voting on
every question; but Burrell, who ob
served the proceedings from neutral
ground, could not shake off the notion
that all was not right. Things moved
too smoothly. It looked as if there had
been a rehearsal. Poleon and the trader,
however, seemed not to notice it, and
Lee was wallowing to the waist in his
own troubles, so the young man kept his
eyes epen and waited.
The surprise came when they had com •
pleted the organization of ttie district
and had nearly finished adopting by
laws. It was so boldly attempted and
so crude in its working-out that it
seemed almost laughable to the soldier,
until he saw these men were In deadly
earnest and animated by the crudest of
motives. Moreover, it showed the first
glimpse of Stark's spite against the
trader, which the Lieutenant had di
vined.
Runnion moved the adoption of a rule
that no women be allowed to locate min
ing claims, and one of the strangers sec
onded it.
“What’s that?” said Lee, raising his

Author of “THE SPOILERS"
one eye from the note-book in which he
was transcribing.
“It isn’t right to let women in on a
man’s game,” said Runnion.
“That’s my idea,” echoed the second
er.
“I s’pose this is aimed at my girl,”
said Gale, springing to his feet. “I might
have known you bums were up to some
crooked work.”
Poelon likewise rose and ranged him
self with the trader.
“Ba Gar! I don’ stan’ for dat,” said
he, excitedly. "You want for jump Ne
cla’s claim, eh?”
"As long as I’m chairman we’ll have no
rough work,” declared Stark, glaring at
them. "If you want trouble, you two,
I reckon you can have it, but, whether
you do or not, the majority is going to
rule, and we’ll make what laws we want
to.
He took no pains now to mask his dis
like of Gale, who began to move toward
him in his dogged, resolute way. Necla,
observing them, hastened to her father’s
side, for that which she sensed in the
bearing of both men quite overcame her
indignation at this blow against her
self.
“No, no, don’t have any trouble,” she
pleaded, as she clung to the trader. "For
my sake, daddy, sit down.” Then she
whispered fiercely into his ear: "Can’t
you see he’s trying to make you fight?
There’s too many of them. Wait! Wait!”
Burrell attempted to speak, but Stark,
who was presiding, turned upon him
fiercely:
“Now this is one time when you can’t
butt in, Mr. Soldier Man. This is our
business. Is that plain?”
The lieutenant realized that he had no
place in this discussion, and yet their
move was so openly brazen that he could
restrain himself with difficulty. A moment
later he saw the futility of Interference,
when Stark continued, addressing the
trader:
“This isn’t aimed at you in particular.
Gale, nor at your girl, for a motion to
disqualify her Isn’t necessary. She Isn’t
old enough to hold mining property."
"She’s eighteen,” declared the trader.
"Not according to her story.”
’’Well, I can keep her claims for he*
till she gets of age.”
“We’ve just fixed It so you can’t,”
grinned Runnion, cunningly. "No man
can hold more than one claim on a creek.
You voted for that yourself.”
Too late, Gale saw the trick by which
Stark had used him to rob his own
daughter. If he and his two friends had
declined to be a part of this meeting,
the others could not have held it, and
before another assembly could have been
called the creek would have been staked
from end to end, from rim to rim. by
honest men, over whom no such action
could pass; but, as it was. his own votes
had been used to sew him up in a mesn
of motions and resolutions. ,
“No Creek” Lee had the name of a
man slow In speech and action, and ono
who roused himself to anger deliberately,
much as a serpent stings itself into a
painful fury’: but now it was appar
ent that he was boiling over; for he stam
mered and halted and blurted explosive
ly.
"You’re a bunch of rascals, all of you.
tryln’ to down a pore girl and get
her ground; but who put ye wise
to this thing, in the first place? Who
found this gold? Just because there’s
enough of you to vote that motion
through, that don’t make it legal, not by
a damned sight, and it won’t hold, be
cause I won’t write it in the book. You
—you—’’ He glared at them malevolent
ly. searching his mind for an epithet
sufficiently vile, and, finding it, spat it
out-»“dressmakers!”
So this was why both Stark and Run
nion had gone up the creek with the
three new men. thought Burrell. No
doubt they had deliberately arranged
the whole thing so that the new arriv
als could immediately relocate each ot
Necla’s claims—the pick of all the ground
outside Lee’s discovery, and the surest
to be valuable—and that Stark would
share in the robbery. He or Runnion, or
both of them, nad broken Lee’s oath of
secrecy even before leaving camp, which
accounted for the presence of these
things; and now, as he revolved the sit
uation rapidly in his mind, the soldier
looked up at a sudden ttfought. Poleon
had begun to speak, and from his ap
pearance it seemed possible that he might
not cease with words; moreover, it was
further evident that they were all intent
on the excited Frenchman and had no
eyes for tbe lieutenant. Carefully slip
ping around the corner of the cabin, and
keeping the house between him and the
others, Burrell broke into a swift run,
making the utmost possible speed for
fear they should miss him and guess hla
purpose, or, worse yet, finish their dis
cussion and adjourn before he could com
plete his task. He was a light man
on his feet, and he dodged through thv
forest, running more tirelessly the far
ther he went, visiting tlrst the upper
claims, then, making a wide detour of
the cabin, he came back to the initial
stake of Necla’s lower claim, staggering
from his exertions, his lungs bursting
from the strain. He had covered nearly
a mile, but, even so, he laughed grimly
as he walked back towards the cabin,
for it was a game worth playing, and he
was glad to take a hand on the side of
the trader and the girl. Coming within
earshot, He heard the meeting vote to
adjourn. It could not have terminated
more opportunely had he held a stop
watch on it.
From the look of triumph on Run
nion’s face, the lieutenant needed no
glance at Gale or r*oleon or Necla to
know that the will of the majority had
prevailed, and" that the girl’s Importu
nities had restrained her advocates from
a resort to violence. She looked very
forlorn, like a little child just robbed
and deceived, with the shock of its first
great disillusionment still fresh in its
eyes.
Runnion addressed the other conspira
tors loudly.
"Well, boys, there are three good callms
open for relocation. I’m sorry I can’t
stake one of them.”
“They won’t be open long," said one
of the undesirable citizens, starting to
turn down stream while his two com
panions made for the opposite direction.
But Burre.. stopped them.
“Too late, boys. Your little game went
wrong. Now! Now! Don’t get excited.
Whew! I had quite a run."
Gale paused in his tracks and looked at
the young man queerly.
“What do you mean?”
"I’ve jumped those claims myself.”
“You jumped them!” cried Necia.
“Sure! I changed ny mind about
staking.”
"It’s a He!” cried Runnion, at which
Burrell whirled on him.
"I’ve been waiting for this. Runnion—
ever since you came back. Now—”
“I mean you haven’t had time,” the
other temporized, hurriedly.
“Oh, that sounds better! If you don’t
believe me take a look for yourself; you’ll
find my notice just beneath Miss Gale's.”
Then to “No Creek” he continued,
“Kindly record them for me so there will
be no question of priority.”
“I’ll be damned if I do!” said the bellig
erent recorder. “You’re worsen’t these
crooks. That ground belongs to Necia
Gale.”
Up to this time Stark had remained si
lent. his impassive face betraying not a
shadow of chagrin, for he was a good los
er; but now he spoke at large.
“Anybody who thinks the American
army is sleep is crazy.” Then to Burrell.

"You certainly are a nice young man to
double-cross your friends like that.”
"You’re no friend of mine,” Meade re
torted.
"I? What do you mean?"
"I double-crossed you, Stark, nobody
else.”
The Kentuckian glared at him with a
look like that which Runnion had seen
in his face on that first day at the trad
ing-post. The thought of these five men
banded together to rob this little maid
had caused a giddiness to rise up in him,
and his passions were beginning to whirl
and dance.
"There's no use mouthing words about
It,” said he. “These thugs are your tools,
you tried to steal that ground be
cause it’s sure to be rich.”
Stark exclaimed angrily, but the other
gave him no time to break in.
"Now, don’t get rough, because that is
my game, and I’d be pleased enough to
take you back a prisoner.” Then turning
to Lee, he said: "Don’t make me force
you to record my locations. I staked
those claims for Miss Gale, and I’ll deed
them to her when she turns eighteen.”
Poleon Doret called to Runnion:
"M’sieu, you ’member w’at I tol’ you
yestidday? I’m begin for t’ink it’s goin’
be you." ‘
The man paled in his anger, but said
nothing. Necia clapped her hands glee
fully.
Seeing that the game had gone against
him, Stark got his feelings under control
quickly, and shrugged his shoulders as
he turned away.
"You’re in the wrong, lieutenant,” he
remarked; "but I don’t want any trouble.
You’ve got the law with you.’ Then to
Runnion and the others he said, "Well,
I’m ready to hit the trail.”
When they had shouldered their packs
and disappeared down the valley. Gale
held out his hand to the soldier. "Young
man, I reckon you and I will be friends.”
“Thank you,” said Burrell, taking the
offer of friendship which he knew was
genuine at last.
"I’m in oa that!” said “No Creek” Lee;
"you're all right!”
Poleon had been watching Starks party
disappear, but now he turned and ad
dressed the young soldier. ,
"You mak* some enemies today, M’sieu.
"That's right” agreed Lee. "Ben Stark
will never let up on you now.”
“Very well, that is his privilege.”
• “You don’t savvyrwbat it means to get
him down on you,” insisted Lee.
“He’ll frame things up to suit
himself, then pick a row with you.
He's the quickest man on . a trig
ger in the west, -but he won’t never
make no open play, only just devil the life
out of you with tittle things till you flare
up, then he’ll down you. That’s how he
killed the gold commissioner back in
British Columbia.”* .
Necia had said little so far. but the
look In her eyes repaid the soldier for his
undertaking in her behalf, and for any
mischief that might ensue from it. She
came forward and laid her hands upon
his.
“Promise that you won’t have trouble
with him," she begged, anxiously, “for
it’s all my fault, and I’d—l’d always
blame myself if any hurt came to you.
Promise! Won’t you”
“Don’t worry, '< daughter,” reassured
Gale. “There’s nothing Stark can do,
and whatever happens we’re with the
lieutenant. He’s our kind of people.”
Burrell liked this grizzled old fellow
with the watchful eyes, and was glad now
that he could grip his hand and face
him squarely with no guilt upon his con
science. ■<’ -> .
By this time Doret had finished with
their blankets, and the four set out for
town, but instead Os following the others
they accepted Necla as guide and chose
the trail to Black Bear Creek. They had
not gone far before she took occasion to
lag behind with the lieutenant.
“I couldn’t thank you before all those
people—they would have read our secret—
but you know how I feel, don’t you,
Meade?”
“Why! It was a simple thing—”
“It was splendid when you defied them.
My, what a fierce you are! Oh, boy! What
if something should happen to you over
this!”
“But there’s no chance. It’s all done,
and you’ll have your fine dresses and be
able to hold your nose just as high as
you want.”
“Whatever I get I will owe to you. l—
l’ve been thinking. Suppose—well, sup
pose you keep two of those claims; they
are sure to be rich— ’’
“Why, Necia!” he exclaimed.
“They’re yours, and I have no right to
them under the law. Os course it would
be very handsome of you to give me one—
the poorest.”
“You ought to have your ears boxed, ’
he laughed at her.
“I don’t see why. You—you—may be
very poor, for all I know.”
“I am.” he declared, “but not poor
enough to take payment for a favor.”
“Well, then, if they are really mine to
do with as I please, I’ll sell one to
you.” s
“Thanks. I couldn’t avail myself of
the offer,” he said, with mock hauteur.

FRANCE TO PROHIBIT
USE OF GUILLOTINE
UARPENTRAS, France. Jan. 26.—The
second execution in France under the re
vival of the law of capital punishment
took place here today and although the
scenes accompanying it were lees regret
table than those attending the quadruple
execution at Bethune, January 11, never
theless, they were distinctly unpleasant
and they undoubtedly will hasten parlia
mentary action towards making future
executions private.
The guillotine was erected on a public
square alongside the prison. The locali
ty was cordoned with soldiers who effect
ually blocked all the streets, but an im
patient crowd which had assembled dur
ing the night demanded that it be given
a chance to witness the decapitation.
Some of the people climbed up on ladders
from which they kept the others inform
ed of the details of the proceedings, while
the windows of the houses overlooking
the square were jammed with people.
The condemned, a man named Remy
Danverse, who had cruelly shot an aged
farmer and his wife, was first made
aware of his fate by the yells of the
crowd that surrounded the prison. He
came out of the prison yard with livid
face and staring eyes and it was neces
sary to make use of force to get him to
the guillotine and his head in position for
the fall of the blade.
NO CONVICT MONEY TO
BE APPORTIONED
It Is accepted as a sound probability
that none of the moneys yet to be col
lected from convict lessees for hire of
the state’s felony men during the last
quarter of 1908 or for the first quarter
of 1909. will be left as a balance for ap
portionment among the counties of th*
state that do not use convicts.
Governor Smith, it is understood, con
siders that the law Is clear on the sub
ject. The construction which he is sail
to place on it gives the prison depart
ment of the state full authority to retain
all of the money collected for convict
hire, if needed for its own expenses. The
appropriation act of 1907, which gave to
the department its $150,000 annual allow
ance, provided that the money should
come from the hire of convicts, and that
after it had been set aside for the prison
department’s expenses, the balance
should be apportlonel among the counties
of the state not using convicts, for ex
penditure by those counties for purposes
of schools or roads as they might elect.
Attorney General Hart has no opinion
on the subject. The matter has not been
referred to him yet, he says, and he has
not studied it.

that the counties that do not use con
victs made up their yearly sheets for 1908
on the understanding that they would get
their share of the balance left over from
convict hire. The majority of the coun
ties benefiting by this apportionment.
Commissioner Pound believes, employ the
funds on improvement of their roads.
Those counties that j*e the funds so re
ceived for school purposes have other
sources of revenue for the same expens*
and Commissioner Pound belleevs that f».
would not result in the closing up of any
great number of schools, if Any at alt.
The apportionment of convict lease
money among some counties is in addition
to the shares received by all the coun
ties in the state school fund.
