The chauffeur had no intention of
remaining inactive outside while he
knew that something that interested
him was t%ranspiring inside. He had
crept up by the side of the house to
the window. But he could see little
and hear nothing.
A moment he strained every sense.
1t was no use. He must devise some
other way. How could he get into
that room? Slowly he returned to his
car, thinking 1t over. There he stood
for a moment revolving in his mind
what to do. He looked up the road.
An idea came to him. There he saw q
little runabout approaching rapidly.
Quickly he went around to the front
Of his a and lifted up the hood. Then
he bent over and pretended to be tink-
ering with his engine.
AS the car was about to pass he de-
hberately stepped back, apparently
not seeing the %runabout, and was
struck and knocked down.
The runabout stopped. the emer-
gency brakes biting hard.

From the Pullman alighted a widow
In deep mourning. AS she got off ant

parent that she walked with q pro
nounced limp.
At the end of the platform the chauf
feurs were still calling, while the new
conner looked over the crowd hastily
Suddenly he caught sight of the face
of the widow. He stepped forward as
she approached. The others held back
as they had agreed and paid no atten'
ton. 1t was like forcing a card.
He held the door open and she en-.
tered the cab, u~nsuspecting. "Mr. Del
Mars" she directed, simply.
He pulled away from the station. On
through the pretty country roads the
! chauffeur drove the heavily yelled
widow until at last they came to Del
Mars bungalow.
At the gate he stopped and ran
around to open the door to assist his
fare to alight.

paying him yet. 81 shall not be long

AS she limped up the gravel walk
he watched her closely. She went to
the door and rang the bell and the
valet admitted her.
Del Mar was still sitting, thinking,
In the library.
"Mr. Del MARI" she inquired.
The voice was not exactly soft, and
Del Mar eyed her suspiciously. Was
this the person he expected, or a
plant?
YES" he answered, g%uardedly, Il

The widow, too, evidently wished to
make no mistake. AS she spoke, she
raised her hand. BY that simple &C
ton she displayed a curious and con-
spicuous seal ring ON her finger. 1t
was the sign of the ring for which Del
Mar had been waiting.
He extended his W left hand. On
the ring finger was another ring, but
not similar. AS he did so, the widow
took the ring from her own finger
and placed 1t on the little finger of Del
Mar.
Good" he exclaimed.
The woman raised her thick veil,
disclosing the face ola man!
It was the same face, also, that had
appeared in the photograph sent to the
old fisherman by Woodward.
Awkwardly, the man searched in the
front of his shirtwaist and drew forth
a paper which Del Mar almost seized

jmportant Juneau Case Decided

In a decision rendered on February ? in the United States district court at Juneau by Judge Fred M. Brown, sitting for Judge R. w. Jennings, the title to the ground upon which is situated Juneaus most fashionable residential section was declared to be good Alleging the land was non-mlneral, the dis trct attorney brought suit to cancel patent to that portion of the city known as the Gold Belt addition, and patented as the Fractional Lode mining claim on June Fl, 1909. The prosecutor alleged that under the congressional act of March 17, 1884, and the act of June $, 1900, the land con cerned in the case was dedicated to public use as a cemetery and as the cemetery was maintained until 1894 the patent signed by the President was illegal" The case was bitterly fought by the owners, John F. Ma loney and J. H. Cobb, but in rendering his decision Judge Brown said "The highest authority in the United States is unques- tionably to the effect that patent, being written public grant of the highest char acter should only be set aside on clear and convincing proof of fraud, and l am satls- fled there was no fraud perpetrated here, and fully agree with the special agent of

Word comes from the Kuskokwim coun- try of mining complications that are likely
 ) have a sequel in the courts, and which will involve title to ground that is reputed to have considerable value. The problems
 involved will also bring into question the interpretation of the Alaska mining law
 For the past year or more Joe Venas, Joe Jean and two Lapps have been working placer ground on Canyon creek, in the lower kuskokwim region. The claims worked were located some eighteen months ago. but in spite of this, it IS claimed that no location notice has been filed, as pro vided by the territorial law The reason for this is stated to be that the locators have been in doubt as to what precinct and judicial district the claims are located in. According to the congressional act of 1910 northwest from point where the 159th Alaska, the boundary line between the Third and Fourth judicial divisions of Alaska runs northwest fro ma point where the 1599h meridian of longitude cuts the Coast divide to point at the intersection of the kus- kokwim river and the 161st meridian of longitude This, according to the original locators, would place the Canyon creek dis trict within the boundaries of the Third ju-

There are hundreds of letters coming into his of flee regularly from people who are seeking information of their relatives who have died in Alaska A proper record of all deaths would equip him to return to anx- ious people the information they seek.

SENATOR RIDDEN 0F ALASKA"
 RETURNS ID JUNEAU I'D LOBBY

quently happens that the place of recording is too far away from the claim to permit of recording within the required time after the location work has been completed. The third objection is that the requirements of
 present law do not conform to the conditions in all parts of the territory. For instance, there are no trees or rocks in the Nome country for marking the boundaries of claims, and in the Juneau district the trees are of such size that 1t is impossible for proSpectCr to stake clam properly without taking an entire saWmln outfit along with him on his stalking trips. It is unfortunate, in this regard, that the terri torlal lawmakers cannot legslate by dis tricts. If they had that authority it would be simple matter to make regulations suitable to the various mining districts throughout the territory.
 "The chief complaint against the section requiring annual assessment work was found in the Iditarod and on Seward penin sula. In the former district the Guggen helms would like very much to be relieved of the necessity of doing assessment work, and the dredge companies made the loudest noise in Nome" Mir. Roden said he recog nized the handicap placed upon capital, but as there were two kinds of miners, it was hard to distinguish between them.
 Speaking of the attitude of the senators of the First territorial legislature, who wrote letter to the secretary of the in terior to the effect that the people of Alaska were opposed on principle to gov ernmenp ownership of railroads MT. Roden said that the wording of the letter was un- fortunate and that the writers had acted in good faith. He said that the senators were all on record in the senate as favoring 8 railroad for Alaska, and in further ex- planation of the letter he said in part
 Delegate Wickersham declared himself opposed to the government ownership of railroads, and as he had been reelected by big majority, we took this to be senti- ment of the majority of the voters and so informed Secretary Lane"

LEairhankS Times. Feb. POI

After an absence of several years Henry Roden, we'll known former attorney of this city, and short term member of the upper house of the first territorial legislature, reached Fairbanks yesterday from the coast
 qing mushed over the trail from Chitina Mir. Roden will remain here only a short time, it being his intention to return to the coast as soon as he has attended to impor tant business matters which brought him to the Interior. He plans to arrive in Juneau shortly after the opening of the session of ihe legislature, and will devote his time to lobbying in the interest of legs- lation which he deems of importance to the territory With the exception of few days spent at Juneau en route, MT. Roden comes to Fairbanks direct from the Out side where he visited all of the principal coast cities from Seattle to San Diego.
 Questioned regarding the present mining law, which he introduced at the First ses- sion of the territorial legislature, MT. Roden requested that it be denied that he wrote the measure although he expressed the be- lief that the new law had given better sat isfaction throughout the territory than the one which it had supplanted. The present law, he said was copied from the present Montana law, the Washington law, and the United States law. Some of the sections were also drafted from the majority report of the miners association which was Tn ex- istence here in the early days of the camp.
 'The only people who object serluosly to the law" said the former senator, "are those who are holding mining claims for specu- lation, the big companies, and people not engaged in mining at all. The real pros pector the man who stakes a claim for the gold he can extract from it, is not clamorlng for new law, although it is generally be- lieved among mining men that the present law can be improved
 'In my travels over the territory" con tinued the attorney, 'I learned that there are three objections to the law among min ing men. The first of these is the section requiring S10O worth of location work within ninety days, and the recording thereof. The second complaint Is that against the affidavit requirement. It ire

Unjoue Robbery at Wraneell

Considerable petty thievlng, consisting mainly of footing gas boats on the water front and breaking into vacant buildings, has been going on at WrangelI lately. But for high class work says Post-lntelll- gencer dispatch, the stealing of 400 pound safe on February ?, while the pro pretor was at a picture show, is certainly passing one over on the ordinary midnight
 lief. When Jinks, the Chinese merchant of Wrangell, opened the front door Of hls store about 9 80 a. m., he thought he de tected draft of air from the rear. He in vestigated and found the back door open and his safe missing. Later on he dlscov+ cred rope dangling from the platform on which his store stands, showing that the thieves had lowered his safe to the beach and evidently loaded it in a skiff afterward. The merchant says he had very little money in the safe but mourns the loss ot sev- ercl watches and some jewelry that was lett in his care and placed in the safe few days before 1t was stolen.
