! AS an entertainer of extraordin-
airy ability Mr.. McClintock has
never been surpassed. Those who
are looking for something unique,
something entirely different should
not fail to hear him.
A lifetime spent in the wilderness,
living the life he so wildly por-
trays coupled with Unborn natural
ability as a story teller no doubt
accounts for his wide popularity.
The ancient art of story telling has
been brought up to the nth degree
| of perfection in Mr.. McClintock.
/ The press over the entire country
voices its approval in no uncertain
vein Here are few of the en-
! dorsements:
"The most inspiring and powerful
addresses ever delivered in this
church Rev. L. A. Benton, Gram
ercy Park Congregational Church,
Plttsburg, Pa.
Few men have the same control
and claim over their audiences. -
Rev. Jasper Meek, Atlanta, Ga.
McClintock either as an after
dinner speaker on the platform or

role. Atlanta Constitution.
''He has demonstrated the right
to be classified with the strongest

words that will immortalize him as
an American orator" -Sacramento
Bee, California.
'McClintock has accomplished
what seemed to be the impossible"
Mrs. Lilly Bland Rigers, President,
University Women's Association,
Reno, Nevada.
This program represents a type
which is classed distinctly among
the higher forms of entertainment.
We are fortunate in being able to
induce an attraction so much in de-
mand by larger cities to come to
Ely. Our community has taken a
step forward this season by bringing
in several splendid outside attrac-
tons. The manner in which we
have supported high class entertain
ments in the past is a good indica-
ton that this community appreciates
the best that can be produced. Only
by giving our united support to the
good things coming this way can we
ever hope to make Ely a place al
ways included by the better stage
productions and individual entertain
ers.
The program starts promptly at
500. There will be no reserve seat
sale. Adult tickets will sell for
35c, High School, Csc. Grade child

PROMINENT ELY
MERCHANT PASSES.
STEVE KOVAL, MANAGER OF
KOVALL & SONS, DIES MON
DAY IN DULUTH.

1t was with considerable regret
that it became known here early
Monday morning that Steve Koval,
manager of the general merchandise
business of Koval & Sons, had died
in st. Mary's Hospital in Duluth
that morning following an operation
the previous Friday for goiuer.
Mr.. Koval left here several days
ago for Duluth where he was IN
care of the Duluth Clinic. 1t was
deemed best that an operation be
performed to relieve him of an all
ment of several years standing. The
operation seemed to be highly sue
cessful and for few days he gain
ed rapidly when complications set
in and, he breathed his last early
Monday morning as above noted.
He was 40 years of age and has
resided in this city almost since in
fancy, coming here with his parents
when five years of age. Surviving
him are his widow and seven child
rem, two boys and five girls, two
brothers and one sister. He was
born in Hungary and emigratec. to
this country with his parents 35
years ago, settling in Ely where he
attended the public schools. Later
he was employed as miner with
his father in the mines of the city
and for many years followed that
vocation,
After quitting work at the mines,
he attended college at ST. Johns,
T4l11o~axxi1la. M.n., op1 J11a foH IN,
a business course. Fifteen years
ago, he with his father and brother,
John, embarked in the general mer-
chandise business in this city under
the firm name of Koval & Sons, he
occupying the position of manager.
The business prospered under his
management and a few years ago
the firm erected a fine double-front
brick building on the site of the old
frame structure. Last summer Mr..
Kovall completed a fine large res
idence on White Street. The elder
Mr.. Koval died three years ago and
since that time the business has
been conducted by Steve and
brother, the firm name still being
maintained.
During his residence mere ne mas
held several important positions,
having been Alderman for two
terms and at the time of his death
being secretary of the Retail Mer-
chants Association He was a mem
Der of the Knights of Columbus of
Virginia.
The funeral was held yesterday
morning at 9 o'clock from the
Catholic church, Rev. Father Mihel-
cic officiating. He spoke in both
Slovenian and English. The funeral
was one of the largest ever held
here, the church being filled to the
doors and the cortege which follow
ed the remains to the cemetery was
nearly mile in length. Out of re-
spect, the business houses Of the
city were closed from 9 to 10
o'clock. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful and showed the
high esteem in which deceased was
held.
The remains arrived from Duluth
Monday evening and lay in state at
his home Wednesday where humid
reds of friends of the family called
to pay their last respects to good
citizen and neighbor.

2. After some discussion in re.
gard to opening up of some of the
rice beds in the Game Refuge OF
this vicinity, to duck shooting, il
was voted that in view of the fact
that opening up any part of the
refuge to hunting of any kind has
not been favored by the organiza-
ton it would be unwise to go on
record as favoring such PROPOSE
ton even though it is true that the
larger part of the ducks frequenting
this section in the fall are only tenn
porary residents.
3. A discussion of the elk situa-
ton out in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,
resulted in motion to the effect
that free-will offering be made by
the members to aid in relieving the
starvation of the elk herds in that
section by the purchasing of hay
lands and feed. A considerable
donation was made by the members
present. Members who were not
there and want to contribute. will
please remit their contributions to
the secretary.
= The secretary was asked to cor
respond with the Wyoming Fish and
Game Department relative to secur-
ing a carload of elk for stocking
purposes in the Superior State Game
Refuge There is plenty Of feed
here and plenty of room so there
should be no reason why elk should
not thrive in this section.

CHAPTER XXI
Retribution

The cold rage in Lees heart was
like an memorable demon driving him.
Mile after mile they covered. urging
heir foam-1ecked horses along the
trail as remorselessly as the resolve in
their own hearts drove them.
1t was when they topped bare ele-
walton among the pines that Leboeuf
touched his companions arm and
pointed.
In the distance Lee saw the motor
boat drawn up on the shore.
| And with that, some instinct told
him that Railway could not escape
them, that he would never reach Lake
Misuuash. Lee burned now with the
same faith that animated Leboeuf.
They drove their horses on. and saw
the motor boat depart, heard the chug
of its engine die away in the distance.
II was about the middle of the after
noon that Leboeuf touched Lees arm
and pointed second time. Again Lee
saw the motor boat. Again they heard
the rattle of the engine swell up and
die away.
But now, by the same faith, Lee
knew that Joyce's deliverance was
very near, although their horses were
wearied almost to death.
Again they rode on through the
afternoon. The Indian, who had not
spoken a word since their departure,
touched Lees arm a third time.
And now Lee saw the motor boat
again. but it was drifting, apparently
aimlcssly, in the river, and moving
slowly toward the rapids. Joyce sat
in The middle of it, and Railway was
Mt the engine. Lee and Leboeuf rode

reserve of strength.

Lee tried to console him, but Nc
Grath appeared utterly Respondent
over his failure 1t was in vain Lee
told him that he did not need the
members of the gang; that It was q
good thing, on the whole, that they had
got away.
Father" said Lee, we've got to
look the facts in the face. First,
there's my duty as policeman, to
arrest Railway for Pelly's murder,
however far have to follow him. He's
broken for Lake Misquash, and I'm
going to follow him there.
"Then there's Joyce. It's true she's
his wife" here Estelle tried to inter-
rupt him, but he ignored her. His
voice choked for a moment. 81 must
eliminate that fact from consideration.
I'm going to start as soon as possible,
and propose to ride one of Railways
horses. II Leboeuf Is willing to &C
company me, I'll take him as
deputy"
"Ak. Monsieur, I come with you,
never fearl' answered Leboeuf, max
ing a clucking sound with his tongue
against the roof Of his mouth.
And then Lee remembered that Lee
boeuf had a score of his own to settle
with the fugitive. apart from the mat
ter Of Joyce.
"See. Monsieur ~ said the Indian,
pointing to two pairs of snow shoes
strapped against the saddles. Il have
ONLY to make up two packs from what
those men have left behind them In
these huts. and we are ready to start
together to the top Of the world. We
ride the horses till they can go no
longer. Then we take to the raquettes.
And Mt last we catch him. He cannot
escape us.
"Nfonsieur. there is no place in the
world so small that he can hide In,
nor no place so silent that we cannot
hear him. My master came to me In
dream and told me so. He told me
all that has happened here, but l
would not let you know. We catch
him by falling water. And she-she
shall come to no harm. All this my
master told me-"
The wizened. meurnful face OF the
old man lit up with sombre fire. Lee
CLAIMED him on the back.
"Good, Leboeuf," he said. "Well

Estelle, who had been standing by,
vainly attempting two or three times
to Intervene, came forward, placing
her hand timidly upon Lees arm.
"You-you won't hurt him? You'll
promise me to do him no harm, what
ever-whatever he may have done?"
she pleaded.

my duty; and it will also be my duty
to require you as a witness"
She burst into tears. "Oh, he isn't
altogether bad" she sobbed. Hes
good In his way. Nobody knows the
good that is in him."
Perhaps that was the best tribute
that could have been paid Estelle.
Lee, struck by a sudden thought,
turned to the priest. Father, you
must take her back to the mission
with you." he said.

and put his foot In the stirrup.
