Sachen took a suite in tho farthest

many hours later a' voice called up tho
city editor of one of tho newspapers,
and said :

'The women, of course," she had

"Do they not rouge In Alaska?" she

ant, nnd there was a note of pride In
his voice. "Yes, she sure has 'em.

"Jack? Yes, I heard o' him, too.
Jack's her feller up there. He runs
a saloon up In Alaska. I wanted her
to. marry him while the goln' was good,
but sho wouldn't promise to."
Last June, so Sachen says, his daugh
ter wearied of Kansas City and
yearned for wider fields.
"So," he added, "she bent It to Chi
cago, because she could get $8 a week
there. Now I seen all those pieces In
tho New York pnpers,but someone has
got things twisted."
It was recounted to him thnt Loulso
spoko lovingly of her "dogs," who
whirled her through tho vastness of
northern Alaska on her sled.
Knew Dogs All Right.
"She went as a witness In a dog
case to court last summer," suld tho
ulleged pnrent.
Hero a young man, who was listen
ing Impatiently to Sachen, Indignantly
announced that Miss Snellen's old
friends didn't wnnt to bo called
"sledge dogs," and added scornfully
that when sho went to court to testify
in favor of n dog accused of biting u
person, sho "was all dolled up." Sho
wore, among other things, some silk
stockings, n bird of paradlso feather
and a white dress "which was soma)
short," ended the chronicler.
All of this, of course, is contrary to
Miss Sachen. She said when sho nr
rived hero that sho was a child of nn
ture who know naught of civilization
save thnt garnered from Hooting trains
as sho sped to New York, nnd during
a short pause in Knnsns City, whero
sho stayed with a half sister. Sho
told of her log cabin, of tho men-folks
laboring In their chill tcnthouse, and
of "tho spring clean-up" which gave
her gold In "her poke" to como to Now
xoric.
Admits She Is Impostor.
With eyes reddened from weeping
Miss Sachen admitted in tho hotel that
she was an impostor.
"Chicago was too wise for me," sho
wept, "but it was easy to 'put it across'
hero In Now York. And I'd have kept
it ui, too, if pa hadn't 'spilled tho'
beans' In Knnsns City."
Miss Suchen snld sho got tired of be
ing "Just nobody" In Chicago.. Sho hud
visited Alaska onco with her aunt, nnd
one day sho mentioned Juneau and
Fairbanks to u friend. She noticed
it made a difference. Her other friends
soon began calling her "the girl from
Alaska."
Miss Sachen determined to bo a real
sensation. She took all her savings
and "blew" Into New York with
rush, and registered from Kuyukuk
Alaska.
Says She Is "Done" With Father.
When shu was llnally caught after
her discovery, Miss Suchen had this to
say of her father, Nick :
"And hero's mo maklu' him nn

WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID:
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.
S. Joseph & Sons, of Dei Moines,
Iowa, nre looked upon ns being shrewd,
enreful business men. Having somo
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable Investment, they decided to
purchase CanaUInn lauds, and farm It.
With tho nsslstance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 2-iO acres of
land In wheat, and in writing to Mr.
Hewitt, tho Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of tho llrm says:
"I have much pleasure In advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, In tho Province of Al
berta, Canada, this year (1010 we har
vested nnd threshed 10,000 bushels ot
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of 44 bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of tho wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.85 per bushel, making a total return
of $10,010, or an uverage of $S1.70 per
aero gross yields. Needless to say, wo
nre extremely well pleased with our
lands."

pion, Alberto, for $3,300 In December,
1015. He stubblcd In the whole lot of
