The undoubted habit of civilized
men and women the world over to
resort to prayer when in acute dis
tress. no matter what their religion
may be, gives evidence Of human
instinct which neither argument nor
disappointment is able to eradicate.
Pursuing this line Of reasoning. a re-
cent contributor to the London Spec
tator points out that those who desire
to be delivered from some sudden
pain or peril do not ask to have words
found for them in which they may ex-
press themselves, and they do not turn
to the Lords Prayer or the Bible.
Christ suggested to all men to pray
every day for the means of livelihood.
and His followers, by their own ac-
count. prayed for temporal blessings.
Our Lord himself-with the reserva-
tion of complete obedience to Gods
will-prayed fervently that the doom
He foresaw might be averted. Again,
1t is almost impossible to distinguish
between spiritual and temporal bene-
fits, SO complex is the world we live
In. Most men in the present day
simply could not pray for what seems
TO them a miracle. When the doctor
tells US that life is extinct we have

such hurry to follow up clew that
they will scramble along the ice on
the belly, pushing with their legs and
using their flippers alternately like
the paddle of a canoe. They get over
the ground at an astonishing rate and
it is hard work to overtak4 penguin
when it takes to this means Of loco
motion, especially when it doubles. In
the water the penguin is perfectly at
home. diving and steeplechasing in
grand style. He can jump clean out
Of the water and pop down on the ice
exactly like someone coming up
through trapdoor on the stage and
dropping on his feet. The penguins col
lect in enormous numbers and are
sometimes seen marching about like
a regiment of soldiers in Indian file,
all acting in unison.
A much larger penguin, the emperor.
weighs sixty or seventy pounds and
stands well over three feet high. It
possesses the most extraordinary mus
cular powers in its flippers. When
presented with the end of ski stick
the emperor gives it such a smack
that ones hands tingle. At the same
time it utters an angry cultural ex-
clamation.

CHAPTER XII.
How FridtIof Cheated the Jotun.

II trust my sword: I trust my steed;
But most trust myself at need.
the fair-haired scald sang exultingly to
the Danishmen sprawled around the
campfire. 1t was to no graceful love-
song that his harp lent its swelling
chords, but to stern chant of mighty
deeds, whose ringing notes sped
through the forest like the bearers of
war-arrows. knocking at the door Of
each sleeping echo until 1t awoke and
carried on the summons.
Echoes awoke as well in the breasts
of those who listened. When the min
strel laid aside his harp for his cup,
Snorri Scar-Cheek brought his fist
down III mighty blow upon the earth.
ITO hear such words and know ones

A dozen shaggy heads wagged surly
acquiescence. But from the figure
outstretched upon the splendid bear
skin harsh voice sounded. Now l
see that because you lie in mast you
have a swine's w.t." it said. do you
want the thrall to stand forth and
prove for the hundredth time that
their bins must needs be as empty as
your head?"
Into the den the daughter Of Erode
came on her difficult mission. 1t was
the Scart Cheek who offered the first
welcome in jovial shout. 1.-The hawk
escaped from the cage! Well done,
champion! Did you batter a way out
with your mighty fists?"' A score Of
hands were stretched forth to draw
the boy into the circle; a score of
horns were he'd for his refreshment.
Rothgar sat up on the great skin
with a gesture Of some cordially.
Hail to you, Fridtjof Frodesson!" he
said. Your escape Is a thing that
gladdens me. l did not like the

Seals. according to the crew of the
antarctic exploring ship Discovery, are
abundant near the south pole. They
are very tame and can be clubbed by
anyone without showing more fight
than opening their jaws and making
a harsh noise. They are possessed Of
extraordinary vitality and are not easy
to kill. Antarctic seals are not pro-
vided with marketable fur. The skins
of the majority of seals in the antarc-
tic regions show an extraordinary
number Of cicatrices, some old and
some recent. which for some time
have been a puzzle to biologists. 1t
Is a question whether they are the re-
suit of warfare among the bull seals
or are caused by attacks of some mon
ster not yet known to science. Some
light has been shed on this subject by
the discovery Of remains of an ordi-
nary seal in the stomach of a sea leop-
ard, which is provided with a very
fierce set Of teeth, quite in keeping
with the possible habit of feeding on
other seals.
"A kind OF penguin, the adele, is
laugh-provoking bird. Adelies are

The Benefit of Prayer

not the power to pray that life may
return to the body; but who can tell
how many calamities may have been
avoided by a spiritual suggestion? To
deny that instances of answers to
prayer have occurred is, in the opinion
Of the present writer at least. to shut
ones eyes to evidence.
The explanation of the whole mat
ter which commends itself to our
mind is this-that prayer is a bene-

witness. That which we so dimly re-

speaks as though those who pray put
in motion some force whose working

Year of the Rose

AS fire by the winds breath curled:
And her passage is song through the
And her presence is spring through the
world.
So turned she northward and came.
And the white-thorn land was afiame
With the fires that were shed from her
feet,
That the North, by her love made
Should be called by a rose-red name:
And murmur was heard as of doves.
And a music beginning of loves
In the light that the roses made,
Such light as the music loves.
The music Of man with maid.
But the days drop one upon one.
And chill soft wind is begun
In the heart of the rose-red maze
That wveps for the rose-leaf 6ays
And the reign of the rose undone
That ruled so long in the l1gnt,
And by spirit. and not by sight,
Through the darkness thrilled with its
Still ruled in the viewless night.
AS love might rule over death.
The time of lovers is brief:
From the fair first Joy to the grief
That tells when love Is grown old.
From the warm wild kiss to the cold,
From the red to the white rose leaf,
They have but season to seek.
AS rose leaves lost on stream
That part not and pass not apart,
AS spirit from dream to dream,
AS a sorrow from heart to heart.
From the bloom and the gloom that in

The death-bed of love. where he dozes
Till relic be left not of sand.
To the hour-glass that breaks in the
hand,
From the change in the gray garden
closes,
To the last stray grass Of the strand.

Over the red-rose land.

Though she managed to keep her

hinder a wave Of burning color from
over-running her face. Seeing it,
Rothgar held up his handless left arm
for silence.

The girls nervousness betrayed her
