THEIR HOSTAGE OFFER
GETS FATHER RELEASED.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Paul Bonforte,
an importer of Italian products, SEN
fenced to Blackwelrs Island for six
months for ~defrauding the government,
who has still nine days of his term to
serve, drove up to his home at 626 For
tieth street, Brooklyn, in a taxicat
yesterday afternoon and ran to his
wife's room. He threw himself on his
knees beside her bed and gave thanks
that he had arrived in time to see her
alive, for Mrs. Bonforte is dying, the
doctors ay, exhausted by a nervous
breakdown by his arrest and conviction.
Bonforte's release was due to his three
children, who had begged to be allowed
to stay in Jail as hostage during their
fathers visit home. The sacrifice was
not needed.

CHAPTER V.-contlnued.

Back in Dawson, though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
hard as ever In his life. He had
thousand irons in the fire, and they
kept him busy. Heavy as were mis-
expenses, he won more heavily. He
took lays, bought half shares. shared
with the men he grub-staked, and made
personal locations. Day and night his
dogs were ready, and he owned the
fastest teams; so that when a STAN
pede to new discovery was on, 1t was
Burning Daylight to the fore through
the longest, coolest nights till he
blazed his stakes next to Discovery.
In one way or another ito say nothing
of the many worthless creeks) ne
came into possession OF properties on
the good creeks, such as Sulphur, Do
minion, Excelsis. >Siwash, Cristo. Al
hambra, and Doolittle. The thousands
he poured out flowed back In tens OF
thousands.
Dawson grew rapidly that winter OF
1896. Money poured in on Daylight
from the sale of town lots. He prompt
ly invested 1t where 1t would gather
more. In fact, he played the danger
GUS game Of pyramiding. and no more
perilous pyramiding than In a placer
camp could be imagined. But he
played with his eyes wide open.
Corner lots in desirable locations
sold that winter for from ten to thirty
thousand dollars. Daylight sent word
out over the trails and passes for the
newcomers to bring down log-rafts.
and, as a result, the summer OF 1897
saw his saw mills working day and
night, on three shifts, and still he had
logs left over with which to build
cabins. These cabins, land included,
sold at from one to several thousand
dollars. Two-story log buildings, In
the business part Of town, brought him
from forty to fifty thousand dollars
apiece. These fresh accretions of cap
ital were Immediately invested In 9TH
er ventures. He turned gold over and
over, until everything that he touched
seemed to turn to gold.
With the summer rush from the Out
side came special correspondents for
the big newspapers and magazines
and one and all, using unlimited space
they wrote Daylight up; so that, so faI
as the world was concerned, Daylight
loomed the largest figure In Alaska. Oh
course. after several months, the
world became interested In the Span
ish War, and forgot all about him; but
in the Klondlke itself Daylight still re
NAMED the most prominent figure.

CHAPTER VI.

1t was held by the thousands OF
bero-worshipping chechaquos that Day
light was man absolutely without
fear. But BEETLES and Dan Macdonald
and other sourdoughs shook their
heads and laughed as they mentioned
women. And they we're right. He had
always been afraid of them from the
time, himself lad of seventeen, when
Queen Anne, of juneau, made open
and ridiculous love to him. For that
matter, he never had known women.
Born in a mining-camp where they
were rare and mysterious. having no
sisters, his mother dying while he was
an infant, he had never been in con-
tact with them.
But 1t was left to the Virgin to give
him his final fright. She was found
one morning dead in her cabin. A
shot through the head had done it.
and she had left no message, no ex-
PLANTATION. Then came the talk. Some
wit, voicing public opinion, called 1t a
case of too much Daylight. She had
killed herself because of him. Every
body knew this, and said so. The cor
respondents wrote 1t up, and once
more Burning Daylight, King of the
Klondike, was sensationally featured
in the Sunday supplements of the
United States. The Virgin had
Strengthened up. so the feature-stories
ran. and correctly so. Never had she
