said David l.. Clark. OF Chicago at the

CHAPTER TX.

Palll's Departure From Metlakahtla.
Paul Miller's discovery that the
white man prospecting on the island
was one of the men who had captured
the hermit, and beyond doubt one of
the four who had robbed him, for
moment deprived him OF speech. He
had his own reasons for not wishing
to be recognized by the man who had
robbed him and attempted his life. He
also had strong reasons for wishing
to have him held prisoner. He be-
lieved the man could unfold the whole
story of the robbery and mystery of
the hermit, and determined to make
him do so before leaving the island.
After a lew moments the babel of
voices without ceased, and the crowd
gathered near the house began to dis
perse. The thought then occurred to
his mind that the prisoner, having
been arrested for trespassing. might
be released on his solemn promise
never to return. With this new dan
ger in his mind he started toward the
door. when he was met by Father Dun
can.
What have they done with the pris-
oner?" he asked anxiously.
"He has been sent to the prison to
be detained for a while until certain
mysteries with which he is connected
are cleared up" said the old man.
Father Duncan. do you think the
fellow Is secure? Do you think there
is no danger Of his escape?"
None whatever. My Indians are
very watchful and careful They will
obey me to the letter"
Then let us sit here and compare
notes for q few moments"
He. seated himself by the cid mis-
sionary and told him Of his rescue by
the mysterious old man of the noun
tains whom he had called the hermit
Then he told of the capture Of the her
NIT, and concluded with:
SThis man was one of the three who
seized the good old man and took him
away from the cavern"
The interest of good Father Duncan |
increased, and he shook his head. say
ing:
This Is certainly very. very
strange
There Is a mystery In 1t all which |
l am unable to solve. ! cannot COM
prehend who this strange hermit can
be, unless he is the captain to whom
you refer"
1T looks very much as II the unfor-
tunate man was the beloved captain
whose mysterious disappearance has
so much Distress"
Paul remembered the story which
the ex-sailor, Glum Ralston, had told
him of his captain. and also recalled
10 his recollection the mysterious wal
rus hide.
His anxiety to escape from the
sland and return to the Klondyke,
where his friends were. was more
han over-balanced by desire to
earn something of the motives of
he trespasser.
mr.. Duncan, will your friends sec
hat he does not escaped"
There IL little danger Of his doing

POSTOFFICE BURGLARIZED.


 This village was thrown into small wave of excitement on Monday morn ing of the present week, by the an nouncemenG that the office of F. J. Hosford, a room adjoining the post building, had been broken into during Sunday night, by burglars, who had opened the telephone case in toll sta tion there and breaking the lock, ex tricated the money from the box The burglar entered the room by first climbing through window in the hall above. From thence he came down the stairs, through the furnace room and dining room to the inside door, which leads from dining room into Hosford' $ office. By cutting out part of panel in this door the burg lar was able to insert his arm, unbolt and unlock the door and enter. Sus picion rests strongly upon young man who was seen near the building between midnight and l a. m., Mon- day morning, and who has been invisi- ble to all his acquaintances here since. A reward of SlOO has been offered for his apprehension and conviction, and the eyes and ears or cOnStableS and de- putty sheriffs have been open to catch him. It is thought he obtained Sl2 from the telephone box. Other dam age made was slight. He avoided talk ing anything from the postoffice, so far as known yet. We truly hope the right party may be caught for in this place for several years and about Lake side during the winters, there has been a series of house and shop break ing and petty thieving, and dreaded still more. Whoever it really is, let him suffer for his unlawful deeds.
