 In Siberia


 Captain S. Kris Gudmundson, Are tic explorer and present day lect- urer, is dead today as the result oi an automobile accident. After hraving the dangers of the frozen N rth. countless times. he unfor tunately fell victim to accidental death in civilized United States.
 Kris, as his old Nomeite friends knew him, was associated with trad ing between Nome and Siberia up 10 and including the time of the World War. At one time during that period he made the trip ac- ross. northern Siberia from the mouth of Kolyma river to the province of Yakutsk. There he was sentenced to death by the Cen tral Committe, but managed to es- cape and make his way back to American soil. He carried on many trading expeditions into n2rthern Alaska and along the Arctic coast of Siberia. About ten years ago he decided to go 10 the states with his wife and baby boy, de- claring that it was his intention of going on Chautaqua platforms. It is known that he was contracted until 1883 to speak on Chautaqua rNns O. vfN h ,- death Kris was only forty-nine years of age. He was captain on the old Silver Wave" and later cap tain of the fur trading schooner Polar Bear, which was captured by the Reds after being frozen-in up north, and rescued from starva- tion by another Russian vessel.
 Kris is survived by his widow and three children, now living at Wenatchee, Washington. where the Gudmundsons were interested in farming. Many Nomeites remem- Der Mrs. Gudmundson and are sor- ry to hear of her misfortune. Both Kris and his wife, were Icelanders by birth. having come to this coun- try in the early days of the gold rush to the Nome beaches.
 Their home has been at Wen atchee for the past eight or ten years.

The machine was going along at a rapid rate of speed when suddenly one of the front tires blew out, causing the car to swerve and strike the side of an embankment, turning it over and catapulting it down into a ravine Kris and one of the Filipinos Were killed by the car landing on top of them. The other two oc- cupants were injured, but not ser i0usly.
 With the passing Of Kris Gud- mundson, two fine Arctic explor- CTS. he and Roald Ar1undsen, have entered into history Kris was an intimate friend of both Amundsen and Stefa nson, the latter also a renowned Arctic explorer and now an authority on the ways and by ways of the Arctic.

ties.
While she was rubbing her
head dry the door Of the
lounge opened and q woman in
Chinese trousers and coat came
staggering In. She was not
very young. But she had the
pink, round, girliSh face Of the
woman who never. does any
hard thinking. A doll-baby
face, delicately rouged and
powdered.
In five minutes she had
made friends with Lovejoy and
was telling her her LIES story.
You'd just die laughing If
you knew what I'm doing" she
told her. Five years ago
went out to Reno over this
very road to divorce my nus
band and marry his best friend.
OF course, I mean q man who
had been his best friend!-
Well, anyway, I'm on my way
to Reno now to divorce Num-
Der Two so that can remarry
Number One! Can you beat
that?"
Lovejoy gravely said that she
could not.
ooh, you can make terrible
mistakes in this world, honey!"<
the little doll-face sighed. you
can get terrible cases on men
that aren't worthy Of q woman'S
love!"
Lovejoy nodded her damp
head.
That was what I had on Tom
"a case" she decided on her
way back to her own room.
If he hadn't talked me into
marrying him I'd probably have
married Steve in the first place.
She found herself looking
back wistfully to the days Of
their first passionate attraction.
The days when they had de-

cropped hair and left them.
If she doesn't find Joe Ros-
sitter she'll find somebody else
that she knows" Steve remarked
comfortably when both she and
the waiter were gone. She
won't bother US much"
Lovejoy watched him serve
the cream Of mushroom soup
that he had ordered
1t was Toms favorite soup, and
Norrie had made it once o week
during the time she lived with
them.
They were probably having
dinner together in Norrie's flat
right now. They'd" be having
baked beans Norrie
said all nice folksy people had
baked beans on Saturday night.
Oh, what do care? Love
Joy said to herself. They can
eat alligator steak for all the
difference 1t makes to me!
She put them out Of her
mind.
The next morning she slept
late. That was the cocktails.
They always made her sleep
for hours and hours on end.
The women's lounge and
the Shower-bath were next door
to her room. At IL o'clock she
took a'shower and washed her
hair. Her scalp was full of
SCOT already.
She felt as II her brain were
filled with little dusty atoms,
too, that kept dancing around

wanted to rush in and protect
her.
"And it turns out that Van

she caught a glimpse Of Cor
don frantically cautioning her
to be still.
Forbes looked around suspi-
ciously, and catching sight of
Gordon nodded, as though he
understood all.
Miss Parker was Just tell
ing me something very import
ant. Something about Mr.. Van
Dyke" he announced, as though
daring Gordon to interfere.
"Oh was she?" Gordon
spared for time, wondering
how on earth he could get to
Dulcy and make her stop talk
ing to Forbes. There was no
need Of telling Forbes now, and
humiliating him before the
very man who was eager to
crush him.
oh" Dulcy gasped nervously.
WAS I saying something about
Mr.. Van Dyke?"
Forbes gritted his teeth.
Either I'm crazy or you're
crazy" he calculated finally.
That's just It," Dulcy an
nounced brightly. you see
Mr.. Van Dyke isn't just right
up here" She tapped her
head significantly. HE isn't
really Schuyler Van Dyke at
ALL" she added as Forbes be.
Wilderment grew.
Forbes didn't react at all as
she thought he would.
THAT makes everything all
right then. doesn't it?" she
asked hopefully.
Forbes stared at her a mo-
ment in silence. Then wheeling
about, he turned angrily to
Gordon.
That's very interesting about
Mr.. Van DYKE" he said coldly.
But it won't work. You must
think I'm a fool to think you
can put over any such story
on me. I'll admit that Miss
The Washington times., 1930-02-24

was too crushed to speak, even
to think.
ooh, Gordie," Dulcy went on,
fighting back her tears, II guess
I do things without thinking.
I don't blame you, Gordon.
I'll always love you. I guess
I'm just all wrong and you'll
be better off without me-"
She got up slowly and st2rted
toward the house, but paused
to make the supreme sacrifice.
I'll release you from your
engagement"
Gordon took one startled look
at her, and at sight Of her
lovely tear-stained face, framed
In an aureole Of golden hair, he
weakened.
"Dulcy-I can't let you CO."
"Oh, yes, you must" Dulcy
insisted bravely. And further
more, I'll do everything in my
power to repair the damage
nave done.
Gordon, brought back to his
senses by the mere suggestion
that Dulcy would ever try to
help him again, was frightened.
"Oh no! Promise you won't
do that"
yes" Dulcy was determined.
II must go to Mr.. Forbes right
now and tell him how sorry
I am and see II there isn't
some way I can patch it UP"
Gordon hurried after her as
she ran toward the house, but
he was delayed for q moment
when Van Dyke stopped him
in the hail. Van Dyke was
affable as usual, completely un-
aware, apparently Of the h Avoc
he had wrought. Gordon was
relieved when Patterson led
him away, mentioning q mil
lion-dollar deal that demanded
his immediate attention.
When he reached Cne living
room he was just in time to
hear Dulcy holding forth to
Forbes. Her voice was timid.
Quavery. And even while he
longed to Strangle her, he
