his voice. eyes, she sure has 'em.
Got 'em savin' her wages, she said.
"Jack? Yes, 1 heard O. him, too.
Jacks her Teller up there. He runs
saloon up in Alaska. I wanted her
to marry him while the goin' was good,

cago, because she could get So a week
there. Now 1 seen all those pieces in
the New York papers, but someone has
got things twisted"
1t was recounted to him that Louise
spoke lovingly of her dogs" who
whirled her through the vastness Of
northern Alaska on her sled.
Knew Dogs All Right.
"She went as q witness in dog
case to court last summer" said the
alleged parent.
Here young man, who was listen
ing impatiently to Sachen, Indignantly
announced that Miss Sachen's old
friends didn't want to be called
"sledge dogs" and added scornfully
that when she went to court to testify
in favor of a dog accused of biting a
person, she twas all dolled up" She

and a white dress-"which was some
Short" ended the chronicler.
All of this, of course, is contrary to
Miss Sachen. She said when she ar
rived here that she was a child of ma
ture who knew naught of civilization
save that garnered from fleeting trains
as she sped to New York, and during
q short pause in Kansas City, where

Miss Sachen admitted in the hotel that

Miss Sachen said she got tired of be-

soon began calling her ''the girl from
Alaska"
Miss Sachen determined to be a real
sensation. She took all her savings

rush, and registered from Kuyukuk,
Alaska.
Says She Is "Done" With Father.
When she was finally caught after
her discovery, Miss Sachen had this to
say of her father, Nick:
"And here's me maxim him an
Alaska miner and Stringin' gold mug
gets around his neck, when he's only

happens.
"Just being Nick Sachen's daughter
never got me nothin', and when come
here and said / was the daughter of
an Alaska miner all the swell people
of New York I never imagined would
speak to me took me up and L mad
chance to get some real money.
"Why, was going to bring him here
and make him my secretary. Now I
suppose I got to go back to pushin'
plugs"
"Pushin' plugs" Miss Sachen ex-
nlained was tha work of q telephone
