good sisters at Holy Cross, where she learned to read and write and
became versed in practical medicine and surgery. After that she returned
to her grand log-house and gathered about her the young girls of the
Toyaat village, to show them the way of their feet in the world. It is
neither Protestant nor Catholic, this school in the house built by Neil
Bonner for Jees Uck, his wife; but the missionaries of all the sects look
upon it with equal favour. The latchstring is always out, and tired
prospectors and trail-weary men turn aside from the flowing river or
frozen trail to rest there for a space and be warm by her fire. And,
down in the States, Kitty Bonner is pleased at the interest her husband
takes in Alaskan education and the large sums he devotes to that purpose;
and, though she often smiles and chaffs, deep down and secretly she is
but the prouder of him.
