sons salmon pack was out Of the way
and his duties were hight. So were the

hey Stunned him in his misfortune,
and he thought he saw a sneer behind
the stOlid face OF every Indian.
One fair morning In May the canoe
Of Joe Bear entered the inlet, coming
from the direction Of Rake island, so
miles away, where other Thlingita
lived. The canoe was beached at Che
kan'shut, andJoe Bear and Fang's wife
entered the shack. II was deserted and
cheerless. The old chiefs body lay in
its tomb, a little way up the mountain,
and the totem pole, half finished, stood
sentinel by the grave. Within an hour
the news Of the runaways' return
spread. There was a great chatter
ing among the Cinnamon at the can
merry, but Fang made no sign. The
spring work Of the fishery begun, and
he was devoted 10 his work. The weeks
passed, and Joe Bear and his woman
were rarely seen. They hunted to-
gether, back in the mountains, and
when they were in the village Joe oc-
casionally visited the company's
store to barter the fresh meat of the
deer, moose, or bear, but it was plain
that he avoided Fang, and the China
man sedulously kept away from the
Indian. Then Joe grew restless. He
was determined to go on a long trip
to the Stikine, to hunt the big moose.
But the terrible mountain trail was
not one for a

the Chinaman ~persevered, and came
every evening to see her. The days
we're long now, ard few strangers came
from the world beyond the inlet rocks
to buy her hair seal and beaded trinket
boxes. So, at last she consented to
work at the cannery, the wages offered
by Fang being necessary to her ex-
%istence.
No word came from Joe Bear. The
midsummer sun had dissipated the
mists that curtain the ir-clad noun
tains of the mild Alaskan coast, and
warm ocean currents combined with
mountain air to make perfect days and
nights in the inlet, where thousands
Of fish were daily being taken for the
cannery, and Fang, the Chinese sub
boss, vas still the lone occupant of
the house across the cove from the hut
of Chekan's daughter.
Whether she went up the mountain
side for a walk in the evening, or by
appointment with Fang, will never be
known, but it was afterward said that
she had a few personal belongings
packed in a sack, and that the trail
she took was the same taken by Joe
Bear in the spring. She was last seen
just before nightfall, in company with
Fang, a little way up the mountain.
Neither one returned. Two days aft
erward a search was made, but no
trace of them was found. On the third
day the search was resumed, further
around the mountain, to the east.
They found her body, covered with
fresh-cut fir boughs, lying between
two fallen trees. Two bullets had en-
tered her breast. Her face in death
wore a look of terror, her clothing
was tori by the dragging of her body
over the rough mountain from the
trail to the fallen tree. Her shapely
and once supple limbs had been slashed
with a knife in some strange, Chinese
design.
Fang's boat left no trail in the dark
when it crept out of the inlet. The
search for him Jagged after the sec
ond day, and it was two weeks later
when Joe Bear came down from the
Stikine country and descended the
mountain to the hut of the Chekan's
daughter. Within an hour he had
heard it all. He made wonderfully
quick preparation. Before the COM
pany's storekeeper knew of his arrival
Joe Bears canoe, with four armed In
dian men, passed out of the inlet and
kept moving toward the south. Joe,
with his rife across his knees, sat in
the stern and steered. A month after
ward we heard from Fang. He had
given himself up to the Canadian po-
lice, and taken shelter in a crude Jail,
where he was killed one dark, stormy
night, by a ball from an unknown rifle,
aimed through one of the little win
dows of his prison.

The performance of Dan Patch ut

while John r. Gentry and Joe Patchen
in following years gave exhibitions al

In 1899 Patchen and Gentry raced in
Wichita fer a $1,000 purse. Patchen won
in straight heats, the first being in
2:O31s: the second in 2:O21a. In speaking

A BURIAL CAVERN.
Catacombs Similar to Those in Rome
Projected for Long Island. as4s,


New York, aug. 21.-An architect has
in Calvary cemetery, on Long Island,
with an underground cavern for the
burial Of priests, resembling the cata-
combs of Rome.
The idea is one which Archbishop
Farley conceived while travelling
through Rome about two years ago. 1t
occurred to him at that time that the
archdiocese of New York, with its large
number of priests, should have some
such place for their burial. He discuss
ed the matter with his fellow clergymen
when he returned to New York and the
plan has found favor.
Outwardly there will be little to indi-
cate the size of the catacOmbs, it being
intended that the chapel shall stand
over them The caverns, it is intended,
however. shall occupy a space of about
two acres, fifty feet below the surface.
The walls will be of hewn granite.
Should the plans be carried out it
would be the first imitation of the an
cient catacOmbs in this country. The
nearest approach co anything of the
kind exists at the Monastery of the
Passionist Monks in West HobOken.
Under that institution there is a huge
underground vault some seventy feet
beneath the chapel There. clothed in
