food ran low; his feet "were
frozen. There he stayed In the
dead of, winter with not a man
nor dog nor coyote to break tho
calm loneliness of that great
expanse. -
He died on March 15 and here
is the drama: In a letter written
to his mother he told day by day
of his plight but nerer once ad
mitted that he was suffering
pain. In a letter to the outside
world he also told his story
how he had nothing but starra
tion as a companion and the
gaunt khadow of death horerlng
over him. 9
A Pile of chips ln the cabin
showed how ho had chopped
wood for his fire, but therein
also la a horrible detal. A small
log lay ln the middle of the floor
with barely a mark of the axe.

wrapped tho stubs ln rags. He
had made a crutch and covered
It with rags, evidently using it
as he mored around the cabin to
get his wood for tha fire.
His letter to his mother was
sweet and kind. In tf he talked
little of himself except to explain
his marooned condition aud the
end that was In 'sight. No word
of, reproach, no word ot harsh
