Dawson News: Fears arc enter
tained for the Bafetjr of Tom. Jeffry,
a pioneer trapper, hunter, pros
pector and woodman of Selkirk. He
had 'been hunting uu the Pelly, and
night before last arrived at the
mouth of the Pelly with two small
rafts, on ona of which bo bad
pitched a tent which covered his
bunk. He went ashore at Sbafer's
roadhouso, Just above the mouth of
the Pelly, and remained at the
roadhouso talking until quite lata
He then went out and Bald he was
going to sleep la his tent on the
raft. Shortly, afterward Mr. Shafer
heard a strange crashing or thump
ing noise, but though it only the
wind against the telephone wire. A
little later one of the stablemen
went out and noticed that the Pelly
had risen suddenly, and that a
heavy Ice Jam had come doy.-n. The
place where Jeffry's rafts had been
moored was covered with ice, and nc
signs of them remained but the
stumps of the ropes which had
neld them to the trees.
If Jeffry was aboard and asleeD
when the Ice struck It may have
carried rafts and all down the river
safely, or may have submerged them
Some believe that if the ropes
snapped at the first rush the rafts
remained righted, and probably
that Tom will be able to got ashore
after a long run, possibly near Sel
wyn. But if the ropes held some
little time, it is feared, the ice I
caused the rafts to turu turtle and
to sink with man and all.
Jeffry haa been around Selkirk a
long time. Two years ago his
brother fell dead while up the
Pelly.
It was slack water where the
raft was Btandlng near Shafer's
Jeffry arrived at Shafor's at 8:30
in the evening, and visited until 10
o'clock, when he went out to' go to

An Episode
Of the Russian
Revolution
By WILLARD BLAKEMAN
A meeting of a revoutlonnry commit
tee broko up In Petrograd, and tho
members went out one—sometimes
two—at a time In order tliat tliey
should not attract the attention of tho
police. A couple emerging from tlio
building went together down the street
"Peter," said one to the other in an
undertona
"What Is It, Ivan?'
"Wo have a traitor among us, a spy
of the government, who has Joined our
circle to betray us."
"Heavens! What can we do to cir
cumvent him?"
"It will be impossible without mak
ing sacrifices. 1 am going to tho chief
of police to denounce him as a traitor
to the government, one who pretends
to servo it while betraying its secrets
to tho circle. But 1 will not be believed
unless I betray several of our mem
bers at tho same time."
"But they will bo sent to Siberia."
"Wo must contrive to get tliem off
before they go, nnd if that is impossible
we must attempt a rescue."
"A rescue! Impossible!"
"Wo shnll see."
Ivan Demkorf the next. day was
closeted with the chief of police. lie
named four men who were plotting
against the government. Including the
spy, and recommended that they be
confined in a room on tho top story of a
certain building, a window of which
could be seen from windows on the
opposite side of the street "Other con
spirators," he added, "will learn whero
they are, will communlcato with them
and can be arrested." The chief assent
ed to the plan, the arrests wero made,
nnd the prisoners were confined as sug
gested.
topics were bet iu wuieu tut? upijuone
side of tbo street, nnd II any one was
seen making signs to the prisoners the
police were to be informed. The men
were held several days, but no one was
seen to be communicating. Not only
did the spies become tired of watching
and consequently careless, but those
guarding the prisoners relaxed their
vigilance. It was hoped that they
would all go to sleep at the same time,
but they did not. Finally Ivan Deml
zorf confessed to the chief of police
that his plan was a failure, but it was
agreed to leave the prisoners where
they were one day longer. If at the
end of twenty-four hours no other fish
were hooked the four men were to bo
sent to Siberia.
That night at 8 o'clock a man of
dark complexion, wearing a red fez,
was seen to enter the building whero
the prisoners were confined. About
half past 8 a woman with a long stride
went In; later a negro and still later a
man in Montenegrin costume. The
last of these persons passed In at 10
o'clock, and none of them were seen to
pass out
In tho morning when the relief
guard went to the building they found
tho door of the room where the prison
ers had been placed locked. They call
ed and were answered by the guard
within and told to break down the
door. They did so and found tbo guard
bound and gagged, while the prisoners
were gone. They told the relief that
during the previous evening they were
set upon by a number of men dressed
In different costumes, who had suc
ceeded in snatching their guns, had
overpowered them and taken away the
prisoners.
The man who wore tho fez, Urst en
tering tho building, was Ivan Deml
zorf; the others were members of
the circle of which he was a member.
They concealed themselves In different
parts of the building, and near mid
night the negro, who was so black that
he could not be distinguished in tho
darkness, crept up to the top story,
where the prisoners were confined, and,
peeping, saw that of the four men com
posing the guard at the door three were
sound asleep, and tho other was doz
ing. Returning, he reported what he
had seen, and the rescue party, headed
by Ivan Demizorf, crawled up the stair
case. On reaching the top Demizorf
awaited his opportunity, then made a
dash for the guu of the man who was
nodding.
party got the gun of a man who w.->s
asleep without encountering any re
sistance, but the two remaining res
cuers were obliged to tight for the oth
er weapons. However, It was not a
minute before every guard was cover
ed by a gun In the hands of a rescuer.
Demlzorf opened the door where the
prisoners were confined and found
them all awake and intensely Interest
ed in what had been going on out
side. There were now double the num
ber opposing the guards, and their guns
had been taken from them. Ropes and
gags had been brought, and the first
thing dono was the insertion of the
latter. Then the guards were bound,
laid on the floor, the door locked, and
the rescue party departed with the
prisoners.
The three bona fide members of the
clrclo made thetr escape across the
border. One remained In Germany;
the two others went to America. Dem
lzorf did not dare face a suspicion of
having had a hand in the rescue,
though he had been well disguised, so
he made off for parts unknown. He
turned up in the United States, where
ho became a head center for an asso
ciation of exiles who plotted to aid
their fellow workers In Russia.
The fourth man who was rescued
was never heard from after hl3 rescue.
It Is supposed that he suffered for his
treachery before the party separated.
Romance of a
Back Yard
Hy DWIGHT NORWOOD
One morning, going to my window,
which Is In the rear of the house and
looks out on the back windows of
houses on another street, I saw a tiny
white handkerchief pinned to the win
dow sill. The same afternoon, going
to my room, I was about to open the
blinds when 1 saw through the slats a
pretty girl lclss her hand to some one
in the house adjoining my domicile.
She at once disappeared, but It was
evident that a flirtation, perhaps one
that had developed Into an affair of
the heart, was In progress. >
After this I saw many a signal In
the window opposite which I would
probably not have recognized as such
had I not seen the throwing of the
kiss. My next doer neighbor, of course,
I could not see, but I had noticed a
good looking young man going and com
ing, and I presumed that he was the
fortunate possessor cf the young lady's
favor.
I was one afternoon sitting at my
window, with the blinds closed, when
through a crack bitween the slats 1
saw a pantomime between the lovers.
The girl looked down into her back
yard and shook lirr head. After she
had left her window I looked down
Into his back yard myself. It was In
closed In a high brick wall topped
with broken glass. I was not long In
deciphering the pantomime. The girl
had put a veto on he" lover's under
taking to effect an entrance to her
premises over the wall.
About a week after this I saw a ne
gro bring a barrel Into the back yard
through a rear basement door. He
set it down very carefully and turned
to go away. lie had taken but a few
steps when he turned, went back to
the barrel and busied himself examin
ing the head, which I could see was
not fastened In the usual way. While
he was doing tills his lips moved.
Moreover, 1 saw something passed
from the barrel to his hand. Present
ly he went away again and this time
disappeared through the basement
door.
I waB reading 11 love story wltbont
words, or, ruther, wns seeing one en
acted, not 011 the stage, but In real life.
It struck mo that something would oc
cur In the premises on the other side
of the wall. Should I be mean enough
to spy with a view to satisfying my
curiosity? Would it be mean to enjoy
what I could of a drama In real life 7
The barrel wns deposited shortly be
fore my dinner hour, which was 6
o'clock. After dinner darkness hnd
fallen. Without turning on my lights
I took a seat at the window. The
space between my home and the
houses in the rear of It was dimly vis
ible from the lights of the houses
shining upon It I could barely discern
the barrel standing where It had been
placed. Not caring to reveal myself by
lighting my room, I concluded to while
awny the time In the darkness by
smoking. I had consumed half a dozen
cigarettes and wns thinking that If
there was any ono In the barrel he
must bo pretty well cramped when
something roso out of Its top end.
There was a pause; then something
larger followed. Curiosity sharpened
my eyes, and I saw a bulk that looked
like a man's figure get out of the barrel,
take It up and proceed with It to a cor
ner In the wall, where he was hidden
from me. I fancied he was using the
barrel for concealment from the oppo
site direction.

remarked, "till the lights are put out"
Nevertheless I was too Interested to
leave my post I smoked till I fell
asleep. When"" I awoke It was 11
o'clock, and there was but one light In
the house visible to me, and that was
In the room of the heroine of my story.
As I looked It was turned off.
I was now thoroughly awake and be
lieved that I had no great time to wait
to see something more. I was right
Not long after the last light was turned
off I saw the space occupied by the
basement door of the house I was
watching grow darker, indicating that
the door was being opened. Then
something stood In the opening. A dark
spot flitted from the wall to the door,
entered and the door closed.
I regretted that the elopement—for
such I believed It to be—could not
havo been effected over the rear wail,
where I could have seen It They would
go out the front basement door.
I went to bed and had just fallen
asleep when I heard the crack of a
pistol. Rising, 1 looked through the
window at the house of my story. The
basement and the two upper floors were
lighted. I saw figures passing before
the windows, but heard nothing. Aft- 1
er awhile the lights began to be turned j
off, and In time all was again dark.
The next morning I saw in my news
paper an account of an attempted rob
bery of premises 73 Elm- street The
police were called la, but the robber
had escaped—nobody hurt nothing
lost Elm was the street back of my
home. After breakfast I walked around
the block to note the number of the
house. It was 73.
A few days later, while scanning the
marriage notices In my morning paper,
I saw that Miss Emma A. of 73 Elm
street had been married.
I never learned what had occufred
tho night of the "robbery," but I form
ed this theory: In trying to get out on to
Elm street the couple, or, at least, the
lovers, had been detected, supposed
to be burglars and shot at Tho po
lice entered, but were told there had
been on attempted robbery.
