HOME AGAIN.
A year later James Chapman re-
turned to Akron, an expectant joy shin.
Ing in his rugged face
aud in his pockets secur.
tiles for millions. He inquired for his
wife and found her--the wife of anoth-
or. There was no "scene," no re-
proaches, no bitter words-only a sad
greeting and parting, and then a
broken man, grown suddenly old,
boarded the train and once more faced
toward the West.
James Chapman returned to the
Klondike, but SO changed was he that
his old companions of the mining
camps scarcely recognized him. He
was no longer one Of them. The ideal
to which be had clung for decade
and half had suddenly been shatter-
ed before his eyes, and with it's de.
struction the light went out OF his
life.
Chapman has just disposed of a por-
tion of his claims In Dawson district
receiving therefor the sum of $780,.
900. 1t is bis evident intention to
turn his holdings into cash and his
friends are wondering what he will
do with his great fortune and the lit
tie Of life that remains to him.

day he would be able to return home.
and shower luxury upon the faithful
little woman who was waiting for
him. 1t seemed to him she must know
he was searching for wealth--and that
while he searched he was working
for her.
RETURNED TO HIS HOME.
Then came the news that couple OF
prospectors had found gold--lots OF
gold--on the KlondilSe, far up the
Yukon. With renewed hope Chapman
and his companions packed up their
.scanty belongings and with all haste
sought the new tiiggings They were
on the ground early, and knew the
peculiarities of the Alaskan ground.
Every man In that party secured one
or more claims that proved wonderful
ly rich in the precious metal.
And the most fortunate of all was
James Chapman. The one-time book
keeper suddenly found himself a
millionaire. His original locations
turned out to be immensely rich and
he bought other claims that were very
rich also.
At last fortune had been generous
to hini-more generous than lie had
dared to hope in widest dreams. He
could return home, now--home to his
native town, home to his wife who had
waited for him all these years. He
had been absent 10 years, though it
seemed but a short tine, now that he
was rich. Taking letters Of credit for
Il million or two and a big sack OF
gold nuggets just for momentos. he set
out Oh his journey to Ohio. To his
fellow travellers on the steamer that
finally landed him ut Seattle he con
fided his plans for the future. He
pictured the joy that would illuminate
the face, of his wife when she should
see him return to her a millionaire.
SHE MARRIED AGAIN.
But Is years is a long time for a
woman to wait for a man--particular-
| ly if the man does not communicate
with her and she is unaware II he be
dead or alive. 1t is even longer If the
pinch of privation is felt. Years after
the husbands letters ceased, Mrs.
Chapman still hoped for his. return
But as time passed and no tidings
came from the absent one she began
to fear that he was dead-that he had
persisted in some faraway mining
camp in that great country Of the
, West that had allrred him from hel
side. The fear grew into n certainty
The little horde of money that had
been left with her gradually melted
away. The wolf of hunger appeared
at the door of her home. An honest
industrious man who was able to
care for her and who loved her
offered her merriage.e For a long
time she gave no encouragement to
the suit of Charles r. Ives, hut the
pressure OF necessity grew greater
and before her eyes was the picture
of dire want in the near future, Then

James Chapman, formerly Of Ak
ron, nephew of Mrs. Louisa A.
Meacham, is at present the source Of
much revenue for the Pacific coast
correspondents of the big Eastern pa
pers.
Much is being told about him that
is true. However, there is considera-
BILE more said that has no foundation
In fact. The Cincinnati Enquirer has
the latest story Of his remarkable ca
reer.
1t reads:
The life story of James Chapman,
millionaire, of Dawson city, has few
parallels outside the pages of fiction
and poetic fiction, at that Indeed, to
find n counterpart for the romance that
has characterized the life Of this man
and embittered his later years one
must turn to the hero of Il poem--to
Tennyson's "Enoch Arden"
Here is the story of his life-a true
story, though as sad as that other that
Tennyson only dreamed.
Fifteen years ago james Chapman
was a young man-young in years,
young in strength, in energy and in
hope. He was an employe of the
great manufacturing concern of Whit
man, Barnes & Co, of Akron, Ohio.
BY inherent ability he mad risen from
one grade to another until he held
the position of head Dookkeeper. He
had fitted up an unpretentious but
comfortable home, in Which he lived
with his wife, and the happiness of the
young couple was the envy of many.
One day he told his wife he had de.
termined to leave Akron and go West
He had saved comfortable sum from
his salary, and this he turned over to
his wife before leaving home. He
took only money enough to last him
a few months, trusting to his ability
to make more.
Chapman went to California, tc
Oregon, to Washington, to British Co
lumbia-always seeking for wealth and
always failing to find 1t.
A few years ago, while Chapman
was in the Kootcney district, in Brit
ish Columbia, he met miner who had
recently returned from the YukoI
country in Alaska. The miner tolt
stories of gold that lay i'll the creeks
along the course of the great river
Chapman went to Alaska.
That was before the rush of goiS
hunters that followed the lIlondikt
discoveries. There were no mail facll

had not succeeded in uniting the discord-
