About a month ago Mrs. Rawlins
read in an English paper of the death
in the Klondike Of a mysterious Eng
Hshman, whose antecedents were IN
known. and who is believed to have
borne a fictitious nameA This man
never communicated to his associates
anything about his previous life, and
they never knew whether OF not the
name he went under was his true
one. He wac associated in the mining
business with the celebrated Mac
Donald, the king OF the Klondike, and
with him had amassed an immense
fortune.
When Mrs Rawlins read OF this
mysterious stranger she became con-
WINGED that he was her missing hus-

a journey TO Alaska. She arrived In
