Yuan, they say, though a strong

mention was made 01 the dejMrture
for tlu; outside, after 1 .*> j ears con
tinuous residence i.i tl.t wilOs of
Southern Yukon, cf Mrs. K. ('•
Breade:i and lier five liUle .^iria, all
of tho latter having beta born since
fFio arrival in tho north of their |
parents iu 1900.
It was tho mother's intention to !
take the children to V. ncouver, I!,
C., and place theiu in school for ;i
few years while sho \i.'ij'd make lie:
bome there and look after them.
When they were here, although j
only a few miles in distance and 1
a few short hours in time separated
the travelers from their home it i
could be seen that their beans were
already filled with a longing (o re
turn. To them tho marvelous sights
which they had seen u;.On their ar
lival iu Whitehorse- -the electric
lights and the snorting iron !
monster that carried them swiftly
away from tho scenes to which they
wore accustomed, were objects which
they regarded with wide-eyed am
azement, but which through reading
and from the conversation of chance
visitors whom their parents had en
tertained they wero in a measure
prepared for and ready to hail with
delight; even tho huge floating pa
lace which lay in the Skagway har
bor to convey them over a thous
and miles of water to their destina
tion had not the power to elimin
ate from their minds and hearts the
memory of the land they loved.
They left here on the Vrinc^s
Sophia on July 9th; tuey got into I
Vancouver, B. C., ori the following
Monday and when the vessel left I
port for the north on last Saturday,
they were all on board on their
way back to tho Big Salmon, the
place i'rom whence they had start
ed only such a short time before,
with childish visions t.nd dreams of
tho fairy land to whicl; they were
hastening.
Six days of constant excitement
were spent in the bustling Ca.-ihdian
city and during all that time the
clang of the street caia, tho toots
of the auto hocus, tho ceaseless hu
man footsteps on tha pavement of
the passing throng, and even those
subdued, but constaut noises that
marked the early hours of the
morn so got upon their nerves
that they were unable to Bleep:
they lost their appetites, which
had never failed them, and instead
of tho noisy, romping quintette so
full of health and exuberant life,
they b'-came listless, drooping and
without ambition.
The mother, alarmed at their con
dition, very quickly reached a deci
sion to forego their schooling and
to return with theni to the land of
silence to which they had been ac
customed, and today they are speed
ing toward the north behind the
iron hcrso which no doubt, in their
imagination, has changed from the
hideous' monster of a few days ago
to a thing of beauty and promise,
for does not every puff of the en
-ine mean a steady annihilation of
tho distance that still remains for
thorn to cover.
Puerto, Mexico, July 22—Scores

SO aboard some foreign vessel that
