bringing the grand total of his 2,000-mile trip to
SITS!
So far the shedding had been easy; but now
Dave confronted the stately university buildings OF
the Berkeley campus, to which he must gain admis-
sion, and the comfortable homes where he must
make place for himself He had few small
coins in his pocket and not single acquaintance
in the United States.
Here was big order to fill! Dave was UNI
conscious of difficulties. To the youth who had
learned cope successfully with the relentless con-
ditions of the Alaskan frontier the problem OF
getting started in civilized community brought no
alarm. The first night he joyously wrapped him
self in his blanket and spent it in the friendly
seclusion of the great eucalyptus grove on the
campus. He was actually too happy to sleep, and
as he gazed across the bay and what seemed
to him the myriad scamp fires" of San Francisco,
his heart filled with love for this great, new human
family which surrounded him. There, under the
stars, he dedicated his life to their service.
In the morning his first act to register at
the university, nor was he daunted to find that
contrary to his expectation he would have to pay
500 tuition each semester. He merely asked for
little extension of time and started out to find
way of earning money His winning personality
brought him work wherever he sought it. The
first day he had rounded up five part-time jobs, in
GLIDING dshwashing, housekeeping. gardening
operating in furniture factory and flashing"
Within a few weeks he had been made highly
valued assistant in the university gymnasium.
Dave is now earning his board and a handsome
surplus doing splendidy in his studes and enter
ing into the life of the college young people-nay
more, he has already found the girl his dreams
pictured back in the fre-lit cabin of the North.
But who is he? That is the mystery. Will chance
some time bring him face to face with some one
who will be able to throw light his unknown
origin? Where he lived until he a year old
h may never know. As year-old infant he was

a blizzard on a treacherous pass to the Klondike.
It was during the gold rush, when countless adj
venturers risked everything for chance at the
fabulous riches under the northern SHOWS. Dawes
nameless parents were among them.
They bundled up their child and started from
heaven knows where with little group of pros
pectors to find their way over an unfrequented
pass to the east of Mount Kmball, in the Alaskan
Range near the headwaters of the Copper River,
about 200 miles northwest of the well-known Chill
koot Pass The trip hard one, involving
greater heights and more of them than the Chilkoot
trail; but the mileage from salt water was less
and the journey supposed to be shorter than by the
usual route This undoubtedly counted heavily
with the gold seekers who had baby to carry and
who like all the others of those fevered days. were
striving to push in ahead of the rest.
The little party, as too often the case then,
had scanty knowledge of the geography of the
wilderness, and even less of the stern conditions
they were to face Beguied by the long, balmy
days of the Alaskan summer, they evidently did
not dream of the treacherous weather they might
encounter on reaching the high mountain levels,
for the protection they carried with them was most
inadequate.
On reaching the large east fork of the Copper
River the prospectors lost their bearings and fol-
lowed this fork instead of pressing by the
middle fork, which would have led them to the pass
they sought. The east fork, which has its source
among the northern shoulders of Mount Wrangell,
10000 feet high, took them steadily up toward
the base of this huge mountain.
r T is probably to this mistake of the travellers
j that Dave owes his life, for the rigors of the
trip on the true trail would have been no less
severe, and there would have been no trapper
Schmidt to step upon the scene before death found
the little bundle in the snow.
