Cen Hubbard subscribed $4,000 to

to see that he has a profound interest
in 1t.
"Peary in his advertisement was
right" he said. at is o. needful that
the expeditions. physician. be CHEEKY

gen. Optimism and good spirits go
far in a voyage like this one. Per

it, and there will be no such cynic

as the one Wig sailed with Peary On

"IIe was indeed a cynic. Let me

among the crowd grew well-nigh fran

Peter Altmaar what are they doing?
Tell us. long man.. Of. what use is
your great fathom of pump-Water?
Can you do nothing for your meat but
reach down black puddings from the

At this all eyes turned .to Peter, a
lanky, OvergrOwn lad with keen eye,
a weak mouth and the gift of words.
''They are bringing up. four horses
from the Muscovite camp. The folk
are getting as far off as they can from
their, heels" began Peter Altmaar,
looking under his hand over the peo-
PIES heads. Half a score 1of men are
at each brute's head. GIow they

to the four great posts of stone in the

there is a tabIe-no, a wooden square

The Princes are sitting their horses
watching. Bravo, that was we'll done.
We came near to seeing the color of
