Viego, Spitzbergen, carrying In Its car
Andree and two companions, Strlndbera
and Fraenkel, on its journey In quest oil
the North Pole. The discovery OF the
eronaur's ':North Pole" buoy may mean
that catastrophy overlook the expedition

point. This seems more likely than the as
sumption that the finding OF the buoy In.
dlcates that Andree dropped 1t from the
balloon after reaching the pole.
The assumption that Andree dropped
this buoy just where he had planned tc
drop it presupposes that there Is an open

He was at Owens quarters before

breathing stentoriously. He had not

lay an empty bottle. His fingers, hang
ing lifelessly to the floor. seemed to feel
for ii. Spud shook him silently, but
with little effect. The servant ran to
the hydrant in the yard and came back
with bucket Of water, which he
sluiced vigorously over the lieutenant's
face and chest. He put another coat
on him somehow. gave him a fiefS gulp
of liquor, and hustled him out on the
parade just in time to report his troop

From that day Spud Murphy went
about his new work with an altogether

devotion which was novel. He seldom
now acclaimed, as he had been wont to
declaim, on the valor and virtues of
his beloved city's inhabitants, among
Whom he reckoned dearest his erst-
while neighborS, the prosperous Owens.
But if the new lieutenant's name was
mentioned in his hearing, his quick eye
turned sharply on the speaker. and his
big ears cooked up like a terriers. He
heard little said against his master

ever it may have been. a something
of alteration was in the eye and step of
the lieutenant Now he was listless;
he took no part in social gatherings; he
avoided any more duty than was alb
solutely necessary. Before, when not
incapacitated by his vice, he had been
a burning student, indefatigable nj
helping his troop to star rank in the
regiment. Books no longer interested
him, nor drills. He cared not whether

wrote to the Kid, who had been sent to

little anxiously, but hopefully.

The doctor spoke to Spud, who stood
off in the shadows, watching Owen with
curious mingling on his broad face
of pity, sorrow, contempt and shame.
