NEW YORK, Nov. 16 ,CUSa.-
Messages from Fairbanks. Alaska,
today disclosed details of q
rescue drama In the wilds Of
frozen Siberia. in which Carl Ben
Eielson. Arctic explorer, aviator
and Alaskan school teacher,
played q leading role.
Eielson was In Fairbanks to.
day, anxious to complete his
rescue work of men. q woman
and furs stranded In the Arctic
ice of extreme Eastern Siberia.
But bad weather prevented Eiel
son from flyina again. Instead,
he sent terse messages to Graham
B. Grosvenor, president Of the
Aviation Corporation Of America.
Two Boats on Ice
Those messages, pieced to-
gether, revealed this:
That instead of there being
five men and one woman stranded
in a 5O-foot boat, held fast by
Arctic ice, there are two such
boats held helpless by the grip
of an early Arctic winter. Aboard
the two vessels are IA men and
q woman.
I That is, IA men and a woman
were aboard. EielSon'S laconic
messages indicated that he had
brought back to Fairbanks six
men Of the crew of one of the
stranded boats and 1900 pounds
of fur.
One of the ships is the 5O-foot
Nanuk, the other a similar boat
of unknown name.
Short Of Food
Both are owned by the Sven.
son Fur Company, Of New York.
The Nanuk is equipped with
wireless. Evidently provisions
were short on both boats, for
a wireless appeal was made to
Nome, Alaska, ATS miles south
west from the stranded vessels,
in the holds Of which is an
estimated 100000 in valuable
Siberian furS.
Eielson, in Fairbanks, 500 miles
from Nome and almost 1000
miles from the ice-bound vessels.
answered.
Eielson took off from Fair
banks and landed in his ski.
equipped plane near the boats.
He took aboard six men Of the
crew of one of the boats and
Andre Dorfandt, a pilot who
followed him, bundled 1900
pounds of the furs into his bi-
nlane.

THE EVENING STORY

AS she ran down 10 the footliehts a
burst of applause greeted her. Bowing
acknowledgements, jimmy was observing
to herself. Yes, there he is in the
usual place!" A handsome young off,
Ger in gray uniform, his right arm in q
sling, was sitting in a box eagerly
watching her. jimmy knew that he was
the only son of a prominent citizen,
that he had been wounded in battle
and was home on a furlough
In the middle of the act was a
fandango: as the orchestra struck up
the first notes there was another en-
thusiastic burst of applause. With
graceful gestures and postureS, accom-
panying herself with skillful clicking
and rolling Of castanets, jimmy danced;
finally reaching "upstage," she quickly
dashed into the wings and disappeared
from view.
A turnultuous thunder shook the
theater; louder, louder and louder it
sWelled, until jimmy was again before
the footlights bowling and smiling. The
dance, the dance! A second and third
time was she compelled to go through
it.
When she had finished the applause
burst forth once more; 1t had reached
its height when jimmy suddenly drew
from her bosom a small American flag.
After pressing the flag ardently to her
lips she waved it above her head. In
stantly the cheering ceased; hiss was
heard, then more Kisses; but all IN
daunted jimmy waved the flag.
Her mother in the pit grasped the
arms of her chair: had the child gone
mad? Did she not realize the danger?
Even as these thoughts flashed through
her mind a man sprang to his feet
shouting: Down with that filthy rag!
Down, down, say!" and started toward
the stage.
jimmy, with eyes flashing like sparks
of fire, threw up her head as she cried:
How dare you call your country's en-
blem filthy rag? Traitor!"
The audience rose: they swayed urv
certain: Jinny's mother was franticauy
endeavoring to break through the mob:
If only she could reach the child before
it was too late! 1t seemed to her after
ward that she lived lifetime in that
brief space.
Then a cry from her lips; young
man in officers uniform had leaped
from box on to the stage. He mo-
toned for silence; the crowd that had
only hesitated in want of leader
obeyed. Ladies and gentlemen" he
remarked as pleasantly as If he were
addressing a small party of friends,
more than courage! Long may Miss
jimmy remain with lis to delight with
her acting!" And CALAMITY raised her
hand to his lips.
Silence moment; a bouquet was
tossed over the footlights: then bouquet
followed bouquet in such quick sue
cession that jimmy and the young officer
were fairly pelted off the stage!
Reaching the wings, he exclaimed in
tense undertones; Don't stop to change
your dress Miss jimmy, but come out to
my carriage! I'll get your mother!
And for Gods sake don't ever commit
such a rash deed again! I tremble to
think what might have happened
il"
why, granny" cried merry voice
as the door was opened, the very idea
of your sitting here all alone in the
dark on your eighty-flfth birthday
How stupid" And her granddaughter
switched on the lights.
THE END.

unusual stir, she had come up

Presently the door was thrown open

package into her grandmother lap.
AS the old lady unwrapped the package
the young lady went on, Aunt Fanny
said you made a speech at table; told

playing Viola in twelfth Night! Wish
1 could have heard It'll Seems so odd to
think of your having been an actress!
1 suppose. though, the profession was
quite different then from what it Is
now!"
Yves: quite different" agreed the old
lady. Then it was a fine art, developed
by long and hard study and much ex-
perience gained in the useful stock
companies. The goal of every artists
ambition was to be an interpreter of

formers spent their lives playing

and I'll wager that III have more thrill
ling experiences in one season than you
had in your entire career!"
After chatting a few minutes, the
young girl withdrew, leaving her grand
mother alone. 1t was quite dark, and
as the old lady unused on what her
granddaughter had said, she gradually
fell into a reverie. No longer was she
old. no longer quietly sitting in her own
room MOI Time slipped backward
and she was young again! 1t was fler

saying, Jimmy child! You must have
a care about expressing your feelings
regarding abolition as freely as you did
this afternoon. IT'S dangerous to voice
such sentiments down here!"
jimmy made no reply, but while her
mother was fastening her bodice she
took something from the bottom Of her
makeup box and thrust it into her
bosom. -
