a bachelor that'll stay one. The girls
wouldn't look at my ugly face. But
you don't look happy" he went on.
What's the trouble now"
The matron,' she faltered. was
very angry about last night. She says

Dawson lies at the foot of a great ter
race shelving up into sheer cliff on one
hand and sloping gradually down to the
Yukon on the other. The other bank Of
the river is a towering bluff, SO that
Dawson makes the impression Of nesting
down desperately into the most shelter
ed spot in sight. There is plenty Of ex-
cuse for such conduct. though, for ev-
cry winter the thermometer drops, dis
couraged, to a point around SO below
zero.
The story Of Dawson is the saga Of
Klondike gold. This little frame and log
city. with its wide. quiet streets, is the
financial and social center Of the Klon-
dixie. 1t rose on the crest of a mad
wave OF gold-lust to a population Of
10000. and then, as the wave receded

those golden days. 1t is still restless.

ostentatious funeral That was because
the Canadian northwest mounted police
frowned on such diversion. Due to the
same pacific influence. Dawson today is
quiet as the proverbial, church. In place
of outlaws. the seeker after excitement
finds nothing but banks and libraries,
cluRs and hospitals-all the appurten-
ances Of senescent civilization
But there Is always the Yukon-the
river OF romance. 1t flows quietly by
the little city. making a sharp bend just
below, so that it laps the skirts Of Daw-

for 1,a0o miles the river steamers that

ASSERT LYMAN AIDED.
GERMAN GOVERNMENT
Post Office Inspectors Bring An
other Charge Against Man Ac-
Qused of Mining Swindles.

NEW YORK, February 12.-"Dr." ].
| Grant Lyman. who is being sought by
the federal authorities here on a charge
of swindling investors in mining stocks
out of 100000 or 100000 by illegal
use of the mails under the name of
John II. Putnam. has been engaged in
German propaganda, according to a
statement made by post Office in
spectors. 1t is charged that he has
been supplying men prominent in gov
ernmental circles in Berlin with infor-:
i nation obtained from the wife of arr
English army officer. said to be a MEM
Der of the British general staff serv-
ing in France.
| Lyman. the authorities say met the
British officers wife in London, where
he went after being convicted in Los
| Angeles in 1914 for mall swindles and
jumping his bail. 1t is asserted that
she came with him to this country, but
returned some time ago.
| Lyman, it also developed. was once a
member of the New York Stock Ex-
| change. He was forced to sell his
seat, it was said. because he engaged
in the promotion of questionable enter
prises. including zinc mines. and the
governors of the exchange feared his
operations would cause a scandal.
Sought by One of Bondsmen..
Gorham Tufts of Los Angeles, who
was one of Lyman's bondsmen when
| the swindler was convicted in the
western city two years ago, has been
| on the fugitive's trail for six months.
Tufts. who has been in New York
since last September vainly trying to
! locate Lyman, said he had spent more
than $4,000 for private detectives. AL
though Lyman was doing a thriving
| business in this city. the detectives re-
ported, according to Tufts. that he
probab bly, was in Europe. Tufts said he
did not know of Lyman's connection
with Putnam & Co. until the concern
| collapsed Thursday.
