Significance Of Polar Exploration.

Significance Of Polar Exploration.
There is now no question as to
the value and Importance of polar dis
covery. Their objects are exploration
for scientific purposes, and the encour-
agement Of maritime enterprises. The
main principles have been briefly and
clearly set forth by Lieut.. Weyprecht,
who was one of the discoveries of
Franz Josef Land: (1) Arctic re-
search is Of the highest importance for
a knowledge of natures laws; (2) &C.
ographical research is valuable as it
opens the field to scientific research
generally; 60 the north pole has for
science no greater significance than
any other point in the higher lati.
tudes. Lieut.. Weyprecht thus con-
tends, what the Royal Geographical
society has contended for year, that
the attainment Of the highest possible
latitude, or Of the pole itself, is not
the object to be sought, but the ex-
ploration Of the unknown area, with .
view to scientific results.

SYNOPSIS.

Burton H. Barnes, a wealthy American
touring Corsica, rescues the young Eng
hsh lieutenant Edward Gerard Anstruth
or, ana his Corsican bride, Marina,
daughter of the Paolis, from the MUIR
derous vendetta, understanding that his
reward is to be the hand Of the girl he
loves, Enid Anstruther, sister of the Eng
lsh lieutenant. The four fly from Ajac-
clio to Marseilles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles,
Marina is handed mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates postponement of the journey.
Barnes sets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he IL marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose of securing the safety
OF the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady Chartris lease a secluded villa at
Nice to which the party Is to be taken
III yacht Suspicion is created that
Marina Is in league with the Corsicans.
A man, believed to be Corregio Danella.
Is seen passing the house and Marina Is
thought to have given him a sign. Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes

President Lured Into the Muldoon Test

confirm Mr.. Roots story, President
Roosevelt suggested, skeptically, that
he would like to try this stiff athletic
proposition of Muldoon's.
Accordingly, Gen. Bell commanded
the expedition, which set out across
the country. The horsemanship test
set for army officers is five miles at a
walk, five miles at trot and five miles
at gallop. The Muldoon test, entire.
ly on foot, is eight miles at q walk and
seven on trot.
The going was heavy, for the wealth.
er was bad. Gen. Bell went over the
course easily. President Roosevelt
went over the course, but not easily.
The question as to what President
Roosevelt is to do after March 4, 1909,
has been partly answered as a result
of this trial under the direction of
Gen. Bell.
Before he hunts tigers in India, or
lions in the African jungle, or occupies
house in London, the president will
undoubtedly go to Muldoon's until he
can walk eight miles and then run
seven on top of that
He has no intention of giving up on
simple little thing like this. But
until he has Muldoon himself to teach
him how the president will avoid fol.
lowing the treatment with Gen. Bell.
OF course it would have been insub.
ordination, or worse, for Gen. Bell to
have stiffened the Muldoon test for
the benefit of his superior officer. Con.
sequently no one has dared to suggest
that he did, but the boy subalterns
at the Army and Navy club are all in a
broad grin.
Fat officers who bounced about in
the saddle for the Is required miles
last fall are wearing a grin that is
broader still,

warped tolerably close to the landing
stage, and the little pleasure vessel,
looking like slovenly merchant
schooner, is now lying not over a hun
bred yards away from where the soft
waters flap lazily upon the grounds of
Lady Chartris' villa.
Barnes climbs hastily on board,
takes the lieutenant to the retirement
of the stern and rapidly tells him of
the appearance of the true Corregio
Cipriano Danella. ''This complicates
matters" he whispers. "The scar

act hesitate at sending him to King

disgustedly.
