the next days struggle, Fred Hartman drove three dogs into Dalton, 20 mhles to the north. Hartman claims Boston for his home. True it is that a wan dering trail has led him far from the home of his New England forebears.
 Up in the Yukon country, where men mol for gold in the land of the b1g stiffness, they call him "The Man Who Never Quits" Hard are the trails that have known him; in the early days of the gold rush he con- quered Chilkoot Pass while others were falling and dying along the snow swept way.
 He was in the van when the wealth. hungry horde staggered weari,y into Dawson aad then he vanished Into the frost locked interior. It was a year and more before he got back to the Yukon city; he left it town of tents and found it throbbing centre of the gold country. He tarried but a few days; his poke was full of dust and he was bound outside"
 But the outside" couldn't keep him; the magic of the open places had pierced to his bones and held him in it's thrall Back he went again into the wilderness, to the snow bound trails that led over mountains and down valley, to his snowshocs and his dogs.

ANOTHER ALASKA FAIRY TALE E---
 TOnn..Y KING JOINS ANANIAS CLUB

I'll? IL was one of the coldest and stolmiest that the United States has ever known; in Alaska it Was sea son of terror. Day after day the storm clouds hung over the mountains and hHod the passes with snow. Tommy King was in Fairbanks when that dread winter closed down.
 Tommy's Relief Trip
 Six hundred miles back in the in terIor lay Iditarod, with a population of about 50 men and Women But 50 people can eat lot of stuff and Fair banks knew that they had little. Tommy volunteered to get grub to Iditarod. He set his dogs to the l traces and loaded his sled with chick ems, turkeys Git was near Chrstmas.) ] beef, pork and potatoes and hit the trail
 When King and his dogs mushed out of Fairbanks and took to the surface of the Panama River the thermometer noted 10 below zero. Up the river he went for hundred niles, then cut across to the Yukon. Finally he came to Mouse Point, the coldest spot Tn Alaska" There the north wind whips down through the draw in the noun tains and sweeps the ice on the river clear of snow.
 It was dark when King got there. Far ahead he could see the light of a roadhouse gleaming through the night. It spelled rest and warmth for the tired wayfarer and his dogs. But every foot was gained at the expense of supreme effort. The lee afforded slight foothold and the wind was in 1 their face; the dogs 6nched but the unconquerable driver piled the lash and kept them going. Finally they 1 reached the roadhouse; there the spirit i thermometer showed the temperature 1 to be ID below zero.
 The call of the driver brought the inmates of the house to the door. Tommy King hesItated not m instant. straight through the opening to the side of the stovo he drove his team. Then he fell exhausted beside the pant ing dogs. Friendly hands had to chop him out of his frozen furs.
 Two days before Christmas, King and his load reached lditarod; the residents were short of food but had plenty of money King sold the chieh- ems and turkeys at $2.50 per pound and tho meat at $2 per pound. The pc tatoes. precious beyond estimate as a preventive for sculVey, brought 5o cents apiece and he received the same | amount for each letter he carried
 Five times during the terrible win ter Tommy King made the round trip from Fairbanks to Tditarod Each trip came near being his last, but always he distanccd death on the home stretch. Fifty thousand miles he had mushed into every nook and corner of Alaska. Sometimes his trips oyer the trail nctted him large returns; at other times he braved death simply 10 save lives
 And now he has had to quit Back to Fairbanks he has gone, for he can not remain "outside." There he will sit beside the stove and listen to the tales of those who come in oyer the frozen trail; never again can he mush along behind his dog team. But he has set up records that will probably never l he
