—Yukon Code.
Day had broken cold nnd gmy, ex-
ceedingly cold and gray, when the man
turned aside from the main Yukon
trail and climbed the high earth-bank,
where a dim and llttle-travelod trail led
eastward through the fat spruce timber-
land. It was a steep bank, nnd he paused
for a breath at the top, excusing the act
to himself by looking at his watch. It
was 9 o'clock. There was no sun or
hint of sun, though there was not a cloud
in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet
there seemed an intangible pall over the
face of things, a subtle gloom that made
the day dark, and that was duo to the
absence of sun. This fact did not worry
the man. He Tvas used to the lack of
sun. It hnd been lays slnco ho had seen
the sun, and he knew that n few more
days must pass before that cheerful orb,
duo south, would Just peep above the
sky line and dip Immediately from view.
The man flung a look back along the
way he had come. The Yukon lay a
mile wide and hidden under three feet
of ice. On top of this Ice were ns many
feet of snow. It was all pure white, roll-
ing In gentlo, snow-covered undulations
where the Ice Jama, of the freexo-up had
formed. North and south, as far fcs his
eye could see. It was unbroken white,
save for a dark hair-lino that curved
and twisted from around the spruce-cov-
ered Island to the south, and that curved
and twisted away into the north, where
It disappeared behind another spruce-
covered island. TIHs dark hair-line was
the trail—the main trail—that led south
600 miles to tho Chilcoot Pass, Dyea and
salt water; and that led north seventy
miles to Dawson, and still on to the
north a thousand miles to Nulate and
finally to St. Michael on Uering Sea, a
thousand miles and a half thousand
more.
But all this—the mysterious, far-reach-
ing hair-line trail, the absence of sun
from the sky, the tremendous cold, and
the strangeness and weirdnoss of it all-
made no impression on the man. It was
not because ho was long used to it. He
was a new-comer in the land, a cliecha-
quo. and this was his first winter. The
trouble with him was that he was with-
out Imagination. He was quick a.nd
alert in the things Of life, but only In tha
things, and not in the significance. Fif-
ty degrecB bolow xero meant eighty-odd
degrees of frost. Such fact Impressed
him an belnjf eOid and uncomfortable,
and that was all. It did not lead him
to meditate upon Ills frailty as a crea-
ture of temperature, and upon man's
frailty In general, able only to live with-
in certain narrow limits of temperature;
and from there on it did not lead him
to the conjectural field of Immortality
and man's place In the universe. Fifty
degrees below xero stood for a bite of
frost that hurt and that must be guard-
ed against by the use of mittens, ear-
flaps, warm moccasins and thick socks.
Fifty degrees below zero was to him
just precisely 60 degrees bolow zero.
That there should bo any more to it
than that was a thought that never en-
tered his hea.d.—Jack London's "To
Build a Fire" In the August Conturjr.
