sent its best in pector, Farrell, to
make an Investigation.
Farrell soon found that a young
man named Russell, the hnrum
scarum son of "A farmer, was missing.
Russclls family. and tho ~ncighhors As
well. attached no Importance to this
because. as they said, he was in the
habit of going away without notice,
turning up again when he became
tired OF travelling about as a hobo.

off again on one of his trips. We
never worry about him.
But Farrell did worry. Hc worried
so much that when he found thar
Young Russell was in the habit Of

a night visit to the cemetery. They
uncarthcd the body in Norak's grave.
Farrell was not "A bit surprised when
he found "A bullet hole In the skull.
He cleaned the grewsome object, kept
il and made further inquiries.
The discovery of the bullet hole
opened the way for two theories.
Either Norak had committed suicide
before his store took fire or he had
killed Russell, set fire TO the store and
dccamped. No pistol had been found
in the ruins; neither had the remain:
of Norak's violin. Farrell concluded
that Norak was not dead and that he
had committed a murder. The mex

done some work on Norak's teeth an
had tho chart Of II. Comparison q
the chart with the mouth OF the skull
proved conclusively hat the latter
had never rested on Norak's neck
Farrell then settled down to catch No

also he remembered that the pur-
chaser carried a violin ease. Further
inv, stigati.n proved that this was the
only ticket for Port T wnsend sold in
Omaha on the day Norak's train ar
rived.
The time was In the period OF the
first rush to the Klondike. once a
fugitive entered that country h was
practically safe from pursuit. Port
Townsend was tine sailing port for
Alaskan Steamer, and Farrell was
Convinced that Norak was making for
the gold fields.
There was n possibility. however,
that Norak might have stopped In
Port Townsend, believing himself
safe from pursuit. Farrell for
warded "A photograph and a dcscrip-
ton of Norak To the Port Townsend
repr sentative Of his company and
took a train east to consult his SUI
periors.
The Port Townsend agent found n
steamship captain who recognized the
