To Be in Time.

1T Is plain enough to me-" Silva Krowled:
"but then I am acquainted with the facts
of which you two know nothing. With all
his faults, Count Flavio was passionately
attached to his little girl. Through her he
could see means of stabbing his wife to
the heart. and he was never the man to
hesitate where piece of refined cruelty
was concerned. He arranged that kidnap-

here to undergo repairs. after which she
will lay up at Gloucester for the winter.
Mr.. Bradley says he has no doubt Of the
success Of Dr. Cooke in reaching the pole.
You see," said the noted hunter and
sportsman, this expedition of ours was got
up without making any hurrah about 1t.
Had we made known our intention Of maxi
ing dash for the pole there would have
been great activity in the Peary camp, and
perhaps our chances Of securing dogs at
Etah would be slim. For this reason, there.
fore. we prepared our plans quietly and
thoroughly, and are in on the ground floor.
From the Polar sea there will be only
| two sturdy young Eskimos and their dogs
to go with Cooke. From Ellesmere Land
| three families of huskies will go with the
party, establishing three stations along the
| route. The idea Of taking more on the
Jaunt across the ice fields does not meet
with our approval for various reasons, the
principal objections being the quantity Of
food and provisions the party would require
and the great difficulty experienced in haul
ing it.
Plans for Next Spring.
'The party will leave 70 north latitude in
Smiths sound and from there will cross
Ellesmere Land and try to reach the pole by
| the Polar sea- This means a journey OF
over six hundred miles, but for various rea-
sons, which do not care to speak about at
present, I feel convinced DR.. Cooke will
land the pole successfully.
Unlike the Peary expedition, DR.. Cooke
has only taken two sleds. each built with
roofs. enabling the party to sleep in them
while pushing forward The sleds are
equipped with lampstoves and other contriv-
ances Two canvas boats also form a part
Of the outfit. These will be used in crossing
leads. thereby saving valuable time and cut
ting snort the journey. DR.. Cooke once ae-
companied Peary on pole hunting trip.
He has spent considerable tme together
with DR.. Bradley. in making preparations
for the present expedition and goes with
every known element Of help. Next summer
Mr.. Bradley expects to return here on his
yacht and sail again for Etah to pick up
DR.. Cooke and his companion"

extensions compelled by demand for
space, now consist of about 500 acres,
the landscape treatment Of which prom
ises the most delightful and picturesque
effect ever attained at any exposition
in America or possibly elsewhere, and
a 40-acre water space between the
grand piers which the Government is
building, and outside of which is all
Hampton Roads deep and broad enough
to safely harbor all the fleets of every
nation on earth. The grounds have
three miles of water front, two-and-a-
half. miles on Hampton Roads, and
half-a-mile on Boush Creek. The two
sides not guarded by water are in
closed by barb wire fence completely
covered and hidden from view by a
dense growth of honeysuckle, crimson,
rambler rose and trumpet vines. The
great military drill plain on the expo
sltion grounds contains thirty acres
surrounded by trees, shrubs and pretty
walks. A canoe trail two miles long
and twelve miles wide runs from
Boush Creek, which flows into Hamp-
ton Roads, through the most interest
