Not many hours later a' voice called up tho city editor of one of tho newspapers, and said : "Registered at tho hotel Is n very pretty girl, daughter of a wealthy miner of Alaska, who has como out of tho wilds for tho first time since she was an infant.

A day hadn't passed until morning mall of tho unspoiled child of the frozen north bad begun to mount high er than any stack of wheats a hard working girl In a hennery ever saw. There were letters from kindly men and women all over the city telling her that they had read of hor and had seen her pictures in tho newspapers and advising her "not to let the great dreadful city spoil her beautifully fresh views." Her Dreams Shattered. Her dreams of being a "lady among swell people" shuttered, Miss Loulso Sachen, who captivated New York by posing as "tho queen of Alaskn," ad- mltted hero that sho could not "put it ucross" In Chicago, where sho got her inspiration. - When she went to Chicago from Kansas City, Miss Sachen suld, sho Just pinyea the piano" and "ran downtown for tho lady I was with, who was run- iilug h beauty parlor."

They had laughed Joyously when Miss Sachen, "Hie girl who grew up with sledge dogs and could mush the trail like an Eskimo," told them: "Town Stack3 Up Pretty Well." "Daddy promised me I should see the States when I grew up. This town stacks up pretty well besldo Kuyukuk." "Queen of the snows," the writers dubbed the wondering young girl as they opened her eyes to tho marvels of New York. "What Impresses you most In Now York?" a reporter bad asked her. 'The women, of course," she had replied. "Tho vast number of pretty women who look like fairy pictures. Hut I am astonished at the way they rouge?" "Do they not rouge In Alaska?" she was asked. "Why paint roses In your cheeks when you can put them there by bet ter means," tho little "beauty of tho frozen north" replied. "Out with us, now, when a woman wants a touch of red In her cheeks she goes out be hind the dog sledge and takes a mush down tho trail." Pioneers In Alaska, she (old the city nabobs who clustered about her and Invited her to their homes, had given her tho name of "Queen" when sho was born. Her name began to travel, and llnnlly one day an Immigrant Austrian Jani tor In Kansas City saw her picture In tho paper. "Why, shucks," bo said. "That ain't no Alaska queen. That's my daugh ter." "Sure, She'a'My Daughter." When "Nick" Sachen was asked about Miss Sachen he said: "Louise? Sure, sho'S my daughter. Sho enmo home from Alaska last June.

"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 Alaska miner and strlugln' gold nug gets nround his neck, when ho'a only an owl wntchtnun out there, and iio throws mo down. Well, I'm dono with him. I'm goln' to keep on being tho 'Girl from Alaska,' I don't caro what happens.
