ON MOUNT M'K|NLEH
The Highest Peak in America Which
DR.. Cook Failed to Climb.
Something About This veritable
Mountain Giant Located I'm the
Interior of AIaska-Center
of Alaskan Range.

Mount Mckinley, which Dr. Frederick
A. Cook and his party have just an
nounced their failure to ascend, is the
toftiest peak on the American CONT
nent, and part Of the Alaskan range,
described as being the Hottest and most
rugged mountain range in Alaska. This
range is part Of the mountain system
which incloses Cook inlet, although
Mount Mckinley is a considerable dis
lance in the interior. The approximate
average height of the ranges is from
5000 to 10000 feet, sharply serrated and
relieved by numerous peaks $4,000 to
$4,000 feet in altitude and with Mt. Mo
kinley towering over all the oths,
snow-crowned heads at an elevation Of
20,464 feet.
West of Mount Mckinley about 80 and
so miles respectively, in the same range.

Cheap Men.

lineup MEN,
IF single men should live on 5000 a
year and families on $780," said Pro-
lessor Clark as he thoughtfully turned
his cuffs, Il am afraid that two-thirds
Of the saloons and vaudeville houses in
Chicago would have to go out Of bust
ness" The professor is right. Not
only the saloons and places Of amuse-
ment, but also the art stores, the jew
elers, the bookstores, the bootblacks>
the BARRIERS, the restaurants, the tailor
ing establishments and some of the big
department stores. Most Of Evanston
that comes to Chicago every day to do
business could stay at home and ad-
mire the stately trees Of the classic
suburb or watch the gentle ripple Of
the wavelets on the lake Some Of
them might wonder, too, where they
were going to get even the $500. If we
could all live on nothing and did not
heed clothes, there would be no need
to raise crops or run factories. After
we had stocked up the foreign markets
there would be no reason why the
American workingman should not take
a vacation for about two years. Then,

cannot say. as he soon had no choice in
The matter. At midnight body of
yeomen from the Tower took possession
of the Bow and String and carried
Brandon off to London without commu-
Hication with Mary. She did not know
OF his arrest until next morning, when
she was Informed that she was to fol-
dow Immediately, and her heart was
nearly broken.
Here again was trouble for Mary.
Bhe felt, however, that the two great
questions. the marriage Of herself to
Louis. and Brandon to any other per.
son, were, as she called it, "settled,"
and was almost content to endure this
as mere putting off of her desires, a
meddlesome and 1mpertinent interfer-
ence of the fates, who would soon
learn with whom they were dealing
and amend their conduct
She did not understand the conse-
quences for Brandon, nor that the fates
would have to change their purpose
very quickly or something would hap
pen worse even than his marriage to
another woman.
On the second morning after leaving
Bristol Brandon reached London and,
as he expected, was sent to the Tower.
The next evening Lady Mary arrived
and was taken down to Greenwich.
The girls fair name was Of course
lost, but, fortunately, that goes for lit
tie with a princess since no one would
believe that Brandon had protected her
against himself as valiantly and honor
ably as he would against another. The
princess being much more unsophisti-
Gated than the courtiers were ready to
believe never thought of saying any
thing to establish her innocence or vir-
tue, and her silence was put down to
shame and taken as evidence against
her.
= Jane met Mary at Windsor, and of
course there was a great flood of tears.
Upon arriving at the palace the girls
were left to themselves, upon Mary's
promise not to leave her room, but by
the next afternoon she, having been
unable to learn anything concerning
Brandon, broke her parole and went
out to see the king.
1t never occurred to Mary that Bran
don might suffer death for attempting
to run away with her. She knew only
too we'll that she alone was to blame,
not only for that but for all that had
taken place between them, and never

feet you. Master Wolsey, surely there
has been witchery here. He must have
used it abundantly to cast such a spell
over my sister" Then turning to the
princess: "Was it at any time possible
for him to have given you love pow
der, or did he ever make any signs or
passes over you?"
"Oh, no; nothing of that sort. I new
er ate or drank anything which he
could possibly have touched. And as to
signs and passes, l know he never
made any. Sir Edwin, you were al
ways present when I was with him IN
til after we left for Bristol. Did you
ever see anything of the sort2'
answered "No," and she went on:
"Besides, I do not believe much in
signs and passes. No one can affect
others unless he can induce them to
eat or drink something in which he has
placed love powder or potion. Then,
again, Master Brandon did not want
me to love him, and surely would not
have used such method to gain what
he could have had freely without it."

that his eyes were fixed upon me with

he did it to keep matters from growing
the affront, but could not, and had he
struck me believe l should have gone
back to him sooner or later. Oh, it was
all my fault! would not let him save
himself. So strong was my feeling that
I could bear his silence no longer, and
one day went to him in your bed
chamber anteroom and fairly thrust
myself and my love upon him. Then,
after he was liberated from Newgate,
I could not induce him to come to me,
SO went to him and begged for his
love. Then I coaxed him into taking
me to New Spain and would listen to
no excuse and hear no reason. Now

Wolsey, who really had kindly feel
ing for Brandon and would gladly save
his life If by SO doing he would not in
terfere with any Of his own plans and
interests. Wolsey's heart was naturally
kind when it cost him nothing, and
much has been related of him which,
to say the least, tells a great deal more
than the truth. Ingrahtude always re-
coils upon the migrate, and Henry's loss
was greater than Wolsey's when VOL
