Marlou was obliged to go to work.
Hhe engaged a small tenement and
aeart bed dully for work, but to no

to Iter: "Marlon, Mrs. Youug called

you can meet the expenses and yet be

Nothing more was said, and tbe fol

Young and everything was settled sat
Ufactorlly. Hhe brought Harold home
with her. for he had been attracted to
Marion at once, nud Mr. and Mrs.

WIDELY SOUGHT MURDERER LO
CATED IN ALASKA.
I
One of the most sensational murders
In American criminal history was that
of Amos J. Snell, lu Chicago, ln 1888.
More than eleven years, many of
j which were spent In a vain attempt to
run down the murderer, have since
elapsed and now comes a clew to the
whereabouts of the much-sought-for
criminal. A returned miner, William
Rlgler, from the Cape Nome gold dig
ging» In Alaska, gives the information
that may yet lead to the arrest and
eouviction of the murderer, Willie Tas
cott.
According to Rigier. a man was car
ried Into his cabin lust fall in a criti
cal condition. The stronger, believing
that he was going to die, said tbut his
name wus Tascott and that he was n i
fugitive from Justice for the murder of j

way out to sea In a small boat aud

In Alaska, when his story was known
Arnos J. Snell. He told of several clr
cumstances connected with the crime,
mentioning the fact that $50,000 had
been offered for bis capture. Instead
of dylug, the stranger recovered and
then mysteriously disappeared, ltlgler
and his partners at ouce took the trail
and aent word to all the near-by mining
camps, but could get no trace of the
missing man. It was plain he had not
taken refuge In any of the mining set
tlements along the coast or In the near
