contemplating the sledse one Of the young
men In the booth addressed him and ratified
on the story Of the sledse with few details
concerning Pesrys expeditions. and some
thoughtful suggestions on the Arctic regions
In general. The visitor listened with so
much attention that the young man was
filled with pride and added to history any
thing interesting he could think OF at short
notice. After he concluded his hearer nodded
and said. Il am Peary." The young man
stared incredulously. and then turned his
back and walked away Indignantly Later
