appeals to woman was bestowed on Mabel James. Clothes, jewelry. flow CTS, were hers In abundance. Her dark beauty was set of as 1t had never been set off before. Her eyes stIll told the same story though, the story of love and of happineses.
 The Wages of sln.
 Together they returned to New York. There they went to the Metro politan hotel. The Metropolitan hotel Is situated at the extreme end of Man. haitian Island. From the windows one can look out over New York bay. It is not one of the fiashy hotels of the big city. It Is a quiet, refined place, far away from the noise and the hustle of the night life, far from the white lights of the Great White Way. They could be quiet there. It was incon- spicious. They could be happy in each others company. The future they had planned Is unknown. Tn what direc ton their Baths lay no one but Mabel James can tell.
 One morning, after two days of un- successful waiting, the manager of the hotel forced the door of the suit that Mabel James and her lover occupied The sight he met was a gashtly one. Cold in death, his throat cut several wounds in his body lay the lover of Mabel James. The police were sum- moned. Forty-five thousand dollars he was supposed to have with him could not be found. Three days later Mabel Page James was arrested and held without bail to answer a charge of murder.
 Life Imprisonment
 The case was a circumstantial one. The money was not recovered. The jury heard all the little circumstances. The finger of guilt pointed at a woman that Fairbanks will never forget, a woman that will live in the minds of the pioneers of Fairbanks creek for many a day. She was found guilty With the love of life and liberty still sparkling in her tear dimmed eyes she heard herself sentenced to life be- hind the cold, cheerless walls of a states prison. With last fond look at the faces of the men and women of the world she might never see again, she was led over the Bridge of Signs to the murderers' row in the Tombs.
 While There Is Life There Is Hope
 The next day the Black Maria" wagon completely covered, in which me hand women are transferred from the Tombs to the railroad station, car ried Mabel James to the Grand Cen tral. At Auburn she alighted from the train, handcuffed to two detectives. a matron walking close behind her. In her eyes, red from weeping, there still fingered that love of life and pleasure that had been a ray of hope and sun shine to the miners on Fairbanks creek. The sparkle of hope was still there. The prison gate swung open. Through 1t walked Mabel Page James. It closed again. hiding forever from the woman the sun of liberty. Tha, was two years ago; two long, cheerless years for Mabel James. It may be there will come a day when a new trial can be obtained, 8 day of reck. oning when the guilty one, if 1t Is not Mabel James. will confess his crime to the world. It Is a faint ray of hope, much fainter than the ray that spark led in the eyes of the woman, now but 30 years old. who few short years ago was one of the most beloved of all Fairbanks hardy pioneers.-Juneau Dispatch
