vinced her that her absent husband
was dead that she had consented to
marry him and travel with him to a
promised new home in the west.
After confessing his deceit to Mrs.
Herndon, Beals had gone to the cabin
of his partner, Jeff Alexander, and de-
manded his share of the clean up from
their claim. Alexander tried to argue
with the liquor frenzied man and re-
fused to give him anything until he
was sober. In the heat of the dispute
Beals drew his revolver and shot his
partner. Without stopping to see how
badly Alexander was hurt he seized
their whole store of dust from the
cache under one corner of the cabin,
damned it into the wallet about his
waist and started for town. He had a
vague idea that he must fee the coun-
+ try in order to escape the penalty for
the murder and robbery. This idea took
definite shape when passing up one of
the streets he saw Joe Andrews dog
team drawn up before the North Star
saloon. The sled was loaded with pro-
visions.
Two hours later Andrews came out of
the saloon and discovered his loss
| An active search through the haunts
| of Beals revealed that he had robbed
and only slightly wounded his partner
| 1t didn't take those hard headed miners
long TO put two and two together. But
Beals had now five hours start and one
of the best dog teams in the country to
boot. They reasoned that he was strik-
! ing for either st. AIichael's or Nome.
Andrews started in pursuit.
Matters were in this condition when
the Herndous were ready for the man
hunt. A few hours after Andrews left
they, too. were headed over the snow
and ice to reach Beals. At Anvil they
overlook Andrews, who had broken his
leg. He gladly turned over his fresh

dog team, and the Herndons continued
the chase.
The next afternoon Herndon's rowing
eyes discovered the signs where Beals
had swung off the trail to the north
east, evidently aiming to strike the
coast above Stuart's. The crafty man
was taking no chances of being caught
at Stuart's or of leaving any tidings
to pursuers that he had been there
and was on his way up the coast.
A little later they came upon Beals'
camp of the day before. There they
found that the rations for his dogs
were evidently short, for the hungry
animals had eaten most of their walrus
hide harness during the night. Bits of
blanket and canvas were strewn about,
showing how Beals had contrived to
mend it,
They knew that Beals was being
driven hard, and they realized that he
would find no succOr in the desolate,
lonely country he had elected to cross
rather than face the danger of being
stopped at Stuart's.
Now that their quarry was almost at
hand they pushed on with a reckless
Impotence that was almost their undo
ing. In crossing a small stream Hern-
don slipped and fell through a hole in
the ice into the water. Without think
ing of the consequences he removed
his mittens in order to wiring the water
from his clothing. His left hand was
frozen stiff in the cold air, and the
right one was almost useless. But he
gritted his teeth and bent to the pur-
suit more resolutely than ever.
Next morning far over long stretch
of snow they caught sight of some
moving black objects. Presently the
objects dropped out of sight behind a
ridge of hummocks. Another dip in
the snow and they doomed into sight
again. The man ahead was having
trouble with his badly harnessed dog
team.
On the next rise the man stopped to
mend the weak harness, and casually
looking back he saw the figures of his
pursuers. black on the white field. He
whipped out his revolver and prepared
to make his last stand.
They came closer-sO close that they
were within so PAGES. Each knew there
must be no mistake in that first pistol
fire
Then Dick BealS recognized the Hern-
dons. the man and the woman against
whom he had sinned the deadliest sin.
He shook like the craven thing he was
at heart, and his bullet flew wild.
Herndon's did not ring much truer, for
the half frozen hand was unsteady.
The bullet plowed through Beals' leg.
He swung half around, then caught
himself unsteadily and blazed away,
the bullets singing wildly through the
air.
There were three quick, sharp re-
ports. Beals toppled over Then Mrs.
Herndon dropped a smoking revolver.
Her woman's hand had fired the fatal
shot She had audited their account
with the brute. Somewhere on the
sleeps far above the 80 mile cut off,
they left the body.

Tragedy
Of the
YukOn

From the frozen Yukon basin comes
the story of the death of Dick Beals,
who was shot to death by Mrs. Thomas
Herndon while her husband stood by
and witnessed the tragedy. For three
years Herndon had searched the con-
tinent looking for the man who had
robbed him of his wife. A chance
clew led him to the KlOndike.
There at last HerndOn ran down the
couple and discovered the extent of
Dick Beals' duplicity. He found his
broken hearted wife in the cabin Of
friends, and from her own lips the for
giving husband heard that it was only

EXECUTION OF CHINESE
ENJOYS MAY insist On EXHIBITION
OF BOXERS HEADS.
May Also Demand that the Names of
Those Punished and the Meth
cd of Death BE Proclaimed.

PEKING, Feb. 12.-Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang have received a long dispatch
from the court, which they have not dis
closed to the foreign ENJOYS. Ii is under
stood to contain. in addition to the recent
celebrated reform decree an account or
how Emperor Kwang Su has sent a choice
OF method of suicide TO all those named
for punishment by the ENJOYS. closing with
the inquiry whether Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang think the ENJOYS Will be sat
isfied.
1t is understood the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries, in their reply TO the court. said the
foreign ENJOYS could not object strongly
to an accomplished fact, but that they
would probably insist on the sentence OF
execution being published throughout the
empire and possibly on the heads of those
condemned being exhibited at various
POINTS.
1t is very seriously doubted in Chinese
circles here that General Tung Flu Hsians
will agree TO commit suicide. The army
worships him. He has absolute control OF
the A1ohammedans and is believed TO be
enc himself. He refused to allow the dis
bandment Of 5000 men and the Emperor
ordered him far from the court. To at
tempt his execution. ii is thought In Chi
nese circles, might mean civil war.
This morning the foreign ENJOYS met and
considered the question OF quarters for the
legation guards. The matter OF indemnities
was also mentioned, especially as bearing
upon the damage lone to the personal prop
erty of farmers.
