BOY BRAVES COLD NIGHTS
Sixty Degrees Below, With Wet Feet.
and No Blanket, He Pulls
Through.

Dawson.-Old time mushers, hunt
Ars and trappers up the Klondike river
are taking their hats off to Kid Cox
the tough young bundle of muscle and
sinew, who has been taking an out
ing in that region.
All through the coolest period of the
late cold snap, when it was more than
so degrees below zero, Cox was out all
night without even a blanket, a robe
scrap of canvas or other material for
protection or shelter. He did not even
wear a parkay. The story is brought
by S. A. Ringle, who runs Ringle's
roadhouse above the north fork OF
the KlOndike.
Leaving Dawson in December Kid
Cox mushed up the Klondike river,
drawing a Yukon sleigh by hand.
AS the kid made his way up the
Klondike he expected to find an unoc-
cupied country for trapping, but in
each was surprised to find a line OF
traps out and some one busily cover
ing each locality, so he turned back.
When getting toward the upper sta
tons on the way out he finally grew
tired of his sleigh, and took little
pack of food on his back. Arrayed in
a black suit, with black fur cap, moe
,asins and mitts he defied the cold.
With only currants, a little flour, tea
and a frying pan he made up his daily
fare, melting snow to drink.
Now and then Cox would knock over
a rabbit with little % rifle which he
carried, and into his handful of flour
would go Mr. Bunny, to vary the fare
for the wayfarer in the way of stew.
On getting back to his sleigh Cox
dragged it steadily through the deep
snow until within four miles of CHS
holm's. There he stepped into a lit
tie water, and slightly wet his feet.
Realizing his great danger should he
get badly frozen, and feeling sharp
Touch of cold, he dropped the sleigh
and hotfooted it the four miles to
camp. Staying there day or two, he
went back, got the sleigh and mushed
again to camp. Finally he got to
Ringle's, put in four days resting and
then came on another stage, feeling
fine and anxious for adventure.
Cox is a short man, but muscled like
a giant.
Cox, when in Dawson, was an en-
thusiastic bowler. Those not acquaint-
ed with him would not suspect his
physical prowess and endurance. Most
men would have frozen to death on the
trip up the Klondike had they at
tempted to go in his tracks at the
same time with the same scant pro-
visions and clothing.

she wiped her eyes. What you must

a pretty frown contracting her face;
