Then, with the tin cup, 1 ran a trail

THE OFFICER ON DUTY

there was about to make his customary
trip along the dock when L strolIed I'D
accidentally. He was glad of my COM
pany, and together we started along
the river front. 1t was nearly mid
night. The moon was directly over

| Gus, and wondered whether the Of
nicer would get on to the fake or think
1t was a genuine murder When within
a dozen feet of the plant the officer
started suddenly, and hurried forward.
In an instant his keen eye had OWNED
the situation, and L was saved.
BY heavens!' he exclaimed. there
has been bloody work here tonight"
He threw the rays from his bullseye
on the CHASTITY objects, and followed
the trail of blood to the edge of the
dock.
"a murder" he said grimly, land a
tough one at that
L pretended to be Mortified and made
all sorts of remarks about the awful
ness of such a desperate deed. We
conJectured wildly and often, and after
turning the bloody articles over half n
dozen times, the officer sent in a call
Tor the patrol wagon. The wagon re-
sponded promptly with half a dozen

customary on such occasions, instf-
tuted search of the neighborhood.

PARADISE AT NORTH POLE.
Garden ot I:den Was In the Arc.
tic Regions.

Many Ge0lOgists Contend That the
Garden OF l:den Was In the Arc.
tic Regions.
In an interesting and highly instruc-
tive article, Edward S. Martin, in the
October Ladies' Home Journal, re-
views the numerous theories advanced
by scientists in an endeavor to solve
the perplexing problem as to exact To-
cation of the site of the Garden of
Eden. After sitting the theories, the
writer concludes that the question is
no nearer answered than it was two
thousand years ago, and that there
are no present indications that the
matter will ever be definitely settled
by any man. To one OF the latest and
most ingenious theories Mr.. Martin
thus refers: The North Pole will seem
at first thought to the average investi-
gator the most unlikely site on earth
for Paradise to have occupied. Never
theless several sober and Thoughtful
books and pamphlets have been writ
ten in support OF the North Poles
pretensi0ns. The North Pole nova
days is bitter cold, but it has not al
ways been so. Biologists tell us that
the earth was excessively hot when il
first began its course-much too hot
to admit of the presence of any living
creature, except, perhaps, a sslaman-
der. As it grew cooler vegetation be-
gan on it, and then it began to be
peopled, first with fishes, and then
with birds and beasts; finally with
man. The first spot on earth to get
cool enough to use was the North
Pole. In the process Of time it got
too cold, but there must have been q
long period when the polar region was
the most comfortable part Of the world
During this period, many eminent
geologists believe, there existed around
the North Pole continent now sub
merged, and that on that continent
our progenitors were comfortable in
their first home. 1t is known with
entire certainty that the polar region
was once warm enough for tropical
vegetation to grow there. There wal
light enough, also, for such vegetation
abundant light, indeed, for all uses
and plenty for primeval man. Geol-
ogy tells US that man might have lived
at the North Pole.
