sought to make q fortune in the north.
Behind he left his wife and two little
girls. They were living happily in q
little home in this city.

the north, in his quest for wealth. He
sta1ed of claims in the Yukon dis
trict and worked night and day. After
a while the letters between the hus-
band and wife ceased. Mrs. Thornton
tried to locate her spouse but sought
in vain.
