Think Miller Is
in NORTH DAKOTA

Minot, N. D., June 1S-Somewhere
in Ward or williams county. according
to the theory of Sergeant Lett of the
Northwest mounted police at Moose
Jaw, Sask., Frank Miller alias Jack
Davis, alias c. Larence, who is wanted
for the murder of a Canadian farmer
named Beale on a ranch near Moose
Jaw, Is at large The sheriff's office
here has been notified to be on the
lookout for him and the sheriff Of Will
liams county has also been instructed
to be on the watch for Miller.
Miller is known to have crossed the
line. trailing pair Of gray horses and
riding a bay gelding. He wore SOM
brero. sheepskin chaps and carried
Winchester rife across the pommel of
his saddle. He holds his reins high
when riding and the officers believe
he is doing most OF his travelling by
night and will make for the Big Hole
country on the Wyoming side of the
Black Hills, from which section he
went to the Canadian country. Details
of the murder are lacking. Beale was
found dead, killed by bullet from
Winchester rifle. Some of his horses
are missing and Miller. who had been
working at the Beale ranch, was seen
riding in the dusk of evening by
ranchers about thirty miles distant
from the Beale farm, trailing a pair
of horses which bore the mark of the
Beale ranch.
Miller is an old time cow puncher
and has been in numerous frontier
escapades. He has the reputation Of
having been driven from the Wyoming
country for rustling and for having
taken a prominent part in a feud be-
tween the cattlemen and sheepmen
which resulted in several killings. In
this section of the northwest he is best
! known by the name of Larence and he
is said to have been connected with
Kid Currie's gang in the Montana
| country at some time. 1t is believed
that he will make for the Riding
Rock hills in Williams county, where
there are innumerable hiding places,
and later, when there will be less dan
ger of detection, he will ride by night
| across the country to his old stamping
grounds in the Black Hills country.
The Canadian authorities have dis
covered that Miller crossed the line
at the extrer.e northwest corner of
Williams county Sunday night, and
mounted police officers are in pursuit.
Sheriff Sorenson ard his deputies will
be on the lookout for Miller.

New York Cashier Who Had Fourteen
Days Off in Fifty-Two Years OF
Service.

For So years Louis Nicolovian had
been cashier and office manager for
Schefer, Schramm & Vogel, bankers
and commission merchants at 476
Broome street, and in that time he
had lost IA days, the New York Times
says. These came so far apart that
most of the men in the office do not
now remember that he was ever away.
One recent Tuesday the TALL
straight, black-haired old man did not
appear at his desk. The employees re-
membered that he had often said that
he hated to see Sunday come in to
spoil his work; that when ON Mon
day morning he got back to his tig'
ures he had always seemed as happy
as boy out of school.
1t was almost preposterous to think
of him, though he was 81 years old
as sick; it was even more preposter
GUS to think that he had allowed any
ordinary thing to keep him away from
his ledger. Yet no word came from
him.
The large force of men over whom
he had charge talked in whispers
about the extraordinary thing that
must have kept Louis Nicolovian away
from his work. His chair seemed
strangely vacant. There was about
bis closed desk and the corner where

was high out of the water; else her
weight would have pressed it down
and the back wash from the yacht
would perhaps have swamped the
launch.
At any rate, she succeeded, although
after she got her foot in the bows she
slipped and fell. But that she fell
straight aft upon the cloak and bum
dies she would have hurt herself Sc
verely. If she had not fallen that way,
if she had pitched to the right or the
left she would have gone overheard
and that would have been the end,
for she knew that she would have died
rather than appeal to that ship for
help. She was fearful that the noise
of her fall might have attracted the
attention of some one on the deck,
but the poop of the yacht was u.s.
ually deserted at night and it was un-
likely that any one would be up there.
Scrambling to her feet, she drew
her knife and severed the taut rope
that held the launch to the yacht 1t
parted instantly. She was whirled
backwards and sideways with a sud-
denness that again almost threw her
out of the boat For one agonizing mo-
ment the launch lay full in the broad
beam of light that proceeded from the
bright cabin window she had left. For
one agonizing moment of suspense she
hung there and then the swirl of the
, wave carried her into the darkness.
She lay directly in the wake of the
yacht, and the launch was pitched up
and down by the waves made by the
rapidly moving ship with a violence
of motion that was sickening. There
were a pair of oars in the boat, but
she did not break them out. She Just
drew herself down in the stern sheets
and lay there waiting. She knew that
the clatter of the motor could be heard
a long distance in SO still night and
over so still sea, and therefore, al
though her impulse was to start it at
once, she restrained herself and
waited, watching the yacht rapidly dis
appear. She could mark her course
easily by the light from that cabin
window. Her ear was keen and she
listened until she could no longer de.

ef's engines. Then she rose and
started the motor.
The boat was provided with ION
pass, and although she could see nc
star, she was able to set a course
which was directly at right angles to
the course of the yacht She realized
or at least she thought so, that she
would be pursued. She believed that
the yacht would retrace its course
She decided that those aboard hel
| would reason that she would endeavol
to put as much distance as possible
between herself and the yacht, and
| therefore she would sail straight away
from it. Consequently, she went broad
off to starboard a. right angles to the
other course. The gasoline tanks were
both full. Inasmuch as the boat haC
becn designed for extended cruising
in shallow waters, there was enough
fuel to keep the motor going for ovel
80 hours at full speed. The motol
was capable of developing at least ter
knots per hour. BY the same tins

were millions to nothing. At any rate,
she had done all she could. Her phil
osophy for once stood her in good
stead. There was nothing mere to be
done. She was dead for want of
sleep. The sky had been slightly over
cast since she had left the yacht, but
there had been no storm and weather
conditions looked just as they had and
seemed to be permanent.
Taking the precaution to examine
the gasoline tanks and finding that In

CHAPTER VIII.
Cast Un by the Sea.


Day was just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that 1t was
four o'clock in the morning. She had
slept unbrokenly since II o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been a
stupor of utter and complete exhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physi-
cal strain of keeping awake and at
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension Of pursuit which had
been continually with her. Her first
motion, indeed, was to rise to her feet
and scan the horizon. With relief in
describable her scrutiny discovered
nothing. She was still alone. Neither
the yacht nor any other vessel nor
any smallest speck of land was sill
houetted against the circling sky line.
She sat in the boat musing a long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store of food
and drink, and then putting the past
resolutely behind her, hoping and per-
haps fancying by some exercise of her
will power finally she could put it be-
hO. cha Cnrinnd
thought to her condition.
She realized at last that she in
the hands-another would have said
of God! she said of chance. The fact
that she was so helpless; that all her
learning and all her training, and
all her skill and all her power were
of no avail, made the situation the
more CALLING. Was there nothing
that she could do? She reflected
deeply and as she did so the
breeze sprang up. She judged that
the period during which she had slept
had been calm and still. Any violent
rocking of the boat would have awak-
ened her. Indeed, she felt bitterly
cramped and stiff from having lain so
long on the hard floor, which only the
boat cloak, thick and heavy, made a
tolerable bed.
The coming of the breeze stimu-
lated her imagination. 1t was a gen
tie breeze. She noticed that it blew
from the direction whence she had
come by her compass course. If she
only had sail of some kind the boat
would be driven along. She must
move somewhere. She had heard OF
ocean currents and drift but she
doubted whether the boat was moving,
at least sufficiently fast or in any
definite direction to make any differ
ence. Unless she got somewhere, she
would slowly starve and die just
where she was. She stepped forward in
the boat and examined the oars. There
was a sort of a deck forward over
the gasoline tanks. She thought that
she might make shift with the remains
Of the painter, of which she had a
good length, to fasten one of the oars
in an upright position against it.
There were bolts and rings Of various
sorts on this little deck. She could
step the handle Of the oar between
cleats or ribs at the bottom. At least
she would try.

CHAPTER VI-continued.

She began to realize how helpless
she was. Under the inspiration OF
belief, which was as honest as it was
mistaken, she had put herself in the
power of this man. Even If she were
ashore, there would be no one to
whom she could appeal, and here on
the ship she was helpless. Lingering
remains of better things had kept him
from the last resort of the tyrant-
force!-but how long these would be
operative in restraint she could not
tell. She fancied not for long. What
should she do then?
She saw the end coming when in his
anger he resorted to drink, to drink
which exploded the last vestige of his
philosophy, however he had professed
it. She was frightened beyond meas
ure when she realized the depths to
which he had sunk and to which, In
spite of herself, he had dragged her.
What further descent was before her?
She did not even yet abandon that
philosophy which had served her so
Ill. She clung to that with the more
tenacious pride because Of its very
weakness, but she loathed mankind.
On that yacht he summed up for her
the whole human race, and she hated
him and it, To what sorry pass had
few weeks practical experience re-
duced her!
She had begged and pleaded with
him to alter the yachts course, but
he had sworn he would go farther
south into those unknown seas and
keep her there until she crawled to
his feet. So the long hours dragged
on. The inevitable rupture drew
nearer. At last it came. In its details
it was horrible, but there was in it
a great relief after all
