SAN FRANCISCO, July A mes
sage from Nome by way of Seattle, and
dated June 2G, was received in this city
yesterday to the effect that the steam

tbs were still in the ice. but that their
position was known and that the rev.
enue cutter Uorwin had been sent from
Nome to take the passengers, off the
Ohio and to render what assistance it
could otherwise.
The Ohio is reported as having two
holes In its plates, the result. without
doubt. of a squeeze in the ice. and the
fact that steps have been taken to take
on the passengers would suggest that
small hope is entertained of the steam

Unfortunately matters between my
sister and him had reached stage
where she had written several letters
breathing undying love and devotion
in every line, and these missives fell
into the hands of Horace We're who
as next of kin, became possessed
of the dead mans effects. Shortly az
ter STATIONS demise there came to
light several incidents of his career
that satisfied me Blanche had had q

fanny were such that she was com.
PEELED to agree with me. Luckily, a.
we thought, their love affair had been
conducted with the utmost secrecy
on both sides, SO that Blanche was en-
abled to take her usual place in So
ciety as though nothing had occurred
to disturb the peaceful current Of her
life. Several months later she met
with Monsieur d'Largental. and their
acquaintance grew from mutual es-
TEEN into love and in due course of
time their engagement was announced
It was then that We're brought the let

that M. We're is an Englishman adds
to the complications of the case. for

Nine. Rigault's hatred.
This so-called Alfred Beausine, con
fidential valet to M. We're, whose name
appears marked with a red cross in
your notes-is he then one Of oul

NJ. Serge was as good as his word.
for within the space of an hour he re-
appeared with the prisoner. shifty-

nervously as he stood before the pre-
feet.

querading under the name of Beausine,

The man murmured faint reply In
the Affirmative and M. Claude con-
tinued:
"The evidence against you is COM

provide heavy punishment. 1t now
rests with yourself whether you will
be given the galleys for Is years or re-
ceive comparatively light sentence

Two days after the above CONVERSE
ton had taken place the chief was
sitting alone at his desk when one Of
his subordinates announced that an
Englishman named We're desired an
audience with him. NJ. Claude, much
surprised. but curious as to the cause
of the unexpected visit, gave orders
that he be admitted. and the door
opened to disclose the person of one of
the most formidable looking men that
had ever entered the prefecture.
We're was giant in stature. with
huge shoulders, long. muscular arms
and a chest whose tremendous width
and depth gave promise Of herculean
strength. His broad face. red and
swollen, gave eloquent testimony Of

who viewed his movements with in
tense interest We're had for his op-
ponent a young man of elegant ap-
pearance, who had been playing with
varying fortune for some time before
the Englishman entered the room.
| Suddenly, just when It seemed that
the Englishman must lose the last of
his stake, an unexpected revolution
took place in the wheel of fortune and
We're began te-wfn steadily. Repeated
~ he scored over his opponent, the lat
ter becoming more and more agttated
as he lost, until q pile consisting OF
10000 francs lay beside the British
player. A crowd, attracted by the high
play. had gathered around the table
and M. Claude, rising. pushed his way
into the front rank. Something sus-
picious in Vere's manner, faint trace
of anxiety appearing through the
phlegmatic mask he was won't to wear,
had given the chief food for reflection
and he stood watching keenly, never
removing his gaze from the big hands
Of the Briton. The young man de-
manded his revenge and producing
more funds, staked the entire sum he
had lost previously-40 900 francs. NJ
Claude, his whole attention concen-
trated on the Englishman's hands, saw
him slip card from his sleeve and
put 1t In the place of one he held. In
stantly the chiefs sonorous voice
broke the silence M. We're, you are
theft" he shouted.
At this startling denunciation We're
turned pale and sprang to his feet AS
he did so q couple OF marked cards
fell from his sleeve on the table. and
roar Of anger burst from the crowd.
The victim of the sharper leaped for
ward and in moment Vere's colossal
dgure became the center Of strug-
Cling knot OF men. M. Claude, the
originator of the disturbance, looked
calmly on. 1t was no part OF his plan
to become involved in q personal At
tack on We're.
A loud and imperious knocking on
the front door Of the house and Z
harsh summons to open in the name
of the law" created momentary lull
in the tumult Of the fight that ragged
around the Briton. AS his ASSISTANTS
paused to listen, the big Englishman
broke from their grasp by superhu-
man effort and sprang toward win
dow that stood half open I'm the rear
Of the roem. Quick as he was, the
youth with whom he had been play
ing when denounced by M, Claude
was quicker. He caught the English
mans coat as the latter reached the

and seeing that others were advancing
to the aid of their countryman. he ut
tered a savage curse and picking up
glass decanter that stood on a table
close by, dashed 1t down with terrific
force on the young mans head. He
fell to the floor with a choking groan,
and We're disappeared through the win
dow, just as party Of gendarmes en-
tered the room.

confession that he had been employed

Il killed him in self-defense when
he tried to rob me-" he said, savage
ly. There's no mistake about that.
I'm an Engiishman, under the protec-
ton of my country's ambassador. and
ready to welcome any investigation
you care to make. If you want proofs
send to my house; you well know
where It Is, and your men will md

left it. fancy that for your own
sake you will want to hush the matter
up. If the letters from Mile. Blanche
Leclair, for which your emissary
risked and lost his life. are made pub
lie, you know what pretty scandal
will follow"
The results of the police investiga-
ton of Beausine's death corroborated
the big Englishman's story in every
particular. Examination of the dregs
of goblet that had contained wine
drunk by We're before retiring, dis
closed the presence of drug placed
therein by the valet with the evident
intention of rendering his master help
less. But the dose, which would in
all probability have overcome weak
er man, failed to accomplish it's pur-
pose in the case of the giant son Of
Albion. The latter, awalking from
slumber and finding Beausine in the
act of removing certain valuable docu-
ments contained In belt around his
waist, sprang upon him and In the
struggle that ensued choked him to
death. Such was the. gist Of vere's
testimony, which was accepted by the
authorities. and no further action was
taken.
Suddenly, one day We're left the city
and was reported by the Lynx. who
followed faithfully on the trail. to
have established himself in lodgings
at the seaport of Marseilles, passing
the greater portion Of his time in the
lower drinking places OF the city and
occasionally visiting q gaming estab-
lishment where he risked small sums
of money. None of his Partisan as
sociates had accompanied him, and
M. Claude, aware that the English
man had suffered severe financial re-
verses In the gambling hells Of Paris.
came to the conclusion that he had
retired to Marseilles as less expen-
sive place than the capital in which
to await Monsieur d'Largentars re-
turn, when he hoped by final threat
o. exposure to bring the girl to his
terms. ppou which her friends would
probably furnish the sum demanded
for the surrender of the letters.
The result Of the chiefs cogitations
was that one fine morning found him
domiciled under the roof of the Lion
dor inn at Marseilles. A dark brown
wig, flashy clothing and glittering dis
