CHAPTER xXIII.-(Continued.)
BY n0RATIO aLGER. JR.


Leaving Walter busily engaged in sell
ing books, we will glance at the Drum
mond household, and inquire how the
members of that interesting family Jared
after Walters departure.
Joshua's discomfort increased daily. He
was now eighteen, and his father abso-
iutely refused to increase his allowance
of twenty-five cents a week, which was
certainly ridiculously small for a boy of
his age.
While he was thinking this matter over
q dangerous thought entered his mind.
His father, he knew, had a small brass
nailed trunk, In which he kept his money
and securities. He had seen him going
20 1t more than once.
II wonder how much he's got in It,"
thought Joshua. AS it's all coming to
me some day there's no harm in my
moving"
There seemed little chance of finding
out, however The trunk was always
locked. and Mr.. Drummond carried the
key about with him in his pocket. If he
had been a careless man, there might
have been some chance of his some day
leaving the trunk unlocked, or mislaying
the key; but In money matters Mr.. Drum
mond was never careless. Joshua would
have been obliged to wait years, if be
had depended upon this contingency.
One day, however, Joshua found in the
road bunch Of keys of various sizes at
tached to a ring. He cared very little
TO whom they belonged, but ii flashed
upon him at once that one of these keys
might fit his fathers strong box. He hur-
ried home at once with his treasure and
ran upstairs breathless with excitement.
He knew where the trunk was kept Mr..
Drummond, relying on the security Of the
lock, kept it in the closet of his bed
chamber
Joshua made his way at once TO the
closet aud, entering, began to try his
keys, one after the other. The very
last one was successful In opening the
trunk
Joshua trembled with excitement as he
saw the contents Of the trunk laid open
70 his gaze. lie turned over the papers
neryously, hoping TO come upon some rolls
Of bills. In one corner he found fifty
dollars IN gold pieces. Besides these,
there were some mortgages 10 which he
felt little interest But among the con
tents Of the trunk were some folded pa
pers which be recognized at once as Unit

Until about little more than a CEN

Oj court toys. Records Of them might
be multiplied almost indefinitely,
Bebe, the dwarf Of Stanislaus, king
of Poland, lived to be ninety years Of
age, dying in Paris In 1858, and is va
riously described as having measured
thirty.hve inches and twenty.three
inches. Julia, niece of Augustus, had
two dwarfs, each twenty-eight inches
In height, and Henrietta Maria had
two whose joint height was seven feet

had n dwarf named Lucius whose
height was two feet and weight sew

The vote cast at the various poll.
ing places in the primaries today
was exceedingly light, according to
Information gathered in visit to
practically every precinct. Up to
noon only about one-thrd of the vote
was out and the noon rush was hard
ly up to expectations. Tonight Just
before the polls close there will be
another rush, but it Is hardly like
ly that two-thirds of the vote of last
fall will be gotten out In any precinct
in the city.
For few hours this morning II
looked at several of the precincts like
there was going to be very heavy
vote cast but before long conditions
changed materially and election OF
ficials had a comparatively easy job.
Candidaes with no opposition in
their party for the nomination are
naturally taking 1t pretty easy today.
But those who must fight for the priv
ilege of having their names on the
ticket in the November election are
busy working with carriages and 9TH
er means of conveyance, endeavorlng
to get all of their friends to the polls.
That the primary law is unsatls-
factory to both the general electors
ard the candidates seems certain.
Many refuse to go to the polls twice,
IL seems, believing that just as good
results or probably better ones,
might have been obtained under the
cid convention system. The red tape
connected has discouraged some and
no attempt has been made to cast
their ballots.
Candidates for the school board are
active today and IL looks as though
the race will be pretty closely contest
ed and not be decided until all of the
ballots are counted.
BY ten or eleven o'clock tonight,
the nominees of both parties should
be known. The election board will
receive returns at its office and at the
Democratic and Republican head
quarters returns will be received
Almost as much interest Is at
tached to the primaries as to the reg
ular election as the interested citi-
zen wants to know whom he is TO vote
for this fall and whether or not a
satisfactory man will be named on
each ticket.
No real indication can be had OF
the way the tide flows on either the
Republican or the Democratic tick
cts.

United Press First.

New York. Sept. 7.-Exclusive news
of Peary's success came to the United
Press through the Brooklyn standard
Union of Which Secretary Bridgeman
of the Peary Arctic Club, Is the ed
itor. This dispatch addressed to
Brdgeman came coded and signed
"Peary." A single code word sun"
was all that was received. This word
designated by Peary before he left
for the north to mean Successful,
Roosevelt safe"
As quickly as the dispatch was de-
livered to the Standard Union IL was
turned over to the United Press.
In the meantime. however, the fact
that message had been received by
Secretary Bridgeman had leaked out
through some mysterious source and
several alleged messages were put in
circulation.
The only bonafide dispatch receiv-
ed to date, however, from Peary is
the one given the United Press
through the Standard Union.

He visited the American legation

Washington, Sept. THAT there Is
glory enough for two, and that both
Cook and Peary are deserving of all
credit and praise for their independ-
ent discoveries of the North Pole, Is
the verdict of scientists and public
men generally In Washington.
The one thing that is the occasion
for the greatest rejoicing Is that the
discoverer was an American.
In the opinion OF local savants,
Cooks was tremendous personal
triumph, Pearys scientific achieve
ment. Cook himself has admitted that
as n scientist he Is an amateur. lie
was not equipped with the variety of
instruments that polar explorers US
ually take with them, and he has even
expressed some doubts as to the alb
solute accuracy of his observations.
It is believed here. judging from his
interviews in Copenhagen. that when
his full report shall have been made
public 1t will add little to the worlds
sum of scientific knowledge regarding
conditions in the north polar region.
On the other hand. Peary went sup
piled with the most elaborate devices
Moreover. he Is thorough scientist
himself, and will undoubtedly be able
to lay before the experts not only
convincing proofs Of his presence at
the pole, but data of inestimable
value
DR.. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United states weather bureau. and
president of the National Geographic
sccie ty, is comforting today with the
ltord of managers OF that body as
to what action the society may take
in recognizing Pcdrys achievement.
ord in welcoming him back to his old
home in this city. It Is likely that
an effort will be made to have him
present as one of the guests OF hon
or at the annual dinner of the soci-
ETY. in December, when II is proposed
tc, have President Taft present the
Hubbard gold medals to Dr. Cook
ard Lieutenant ShucKleton. the Eng.
lsh explorer. who recently returned
from his rear-south polar dash.
Peary is already the wearer of Hub
bard medal. bestowed upon him in
1906. for his last previous exploit in
the Arctic regions.
Students OF international law ore
pnsiilve In their assertions today that
IL Peary found any land in the vcin-
ity OF the North Pole It now belongs
TO the United States by right of dis
covery. The British contention that
such land might be construed as be.
ing a part of Canada, Is not taken
seriously. DR.. Runnls Taylor, one OF
the worlds most famous experts in
international law, goes even further.
According to his view. the United
States may lay claim not only TO any
land discovered by Cook and Peary,
but also to the fce field upon which
they located the pole.

Navy Not Notified.

Washington, Sept. Rear Ad-
miral Cowles. acting secretary of the
navy, said at his home that he had
not received any advices from Com
malder Peary laS to his reported
discovery of the pole. the fact,
however. he said, that the navy de-
partment closed at noon today might
account for this.
Although Commander Peary was
not exploring upder auspices of the
department. said the admiral, "he
would report to the department inn
mediately because of the fact that he
is travelling on leave of absence.
81 trust that the reports are true
and that Commander Peary has found
the tube that DR.. Cook claims to
have planted at the pole. If Peary
has been successful, however, he
must have changed his plans and
shortened his time considerably"

An Isle Of Man Oath.

What is regarded as the qualntest
oath still in use is that taken by the
high court judges in the Isle of Man,
the terms Of which are as follows: "By
this book and the contents thereof
and by the wonderful works that God
hath miraculously wrought in the
heaven above and the earth beneath in
six days and six nights | do swear
that l will, without respect of favor
or friendship, loss or gain, consanguin-
ity or affinity, envy or malice, execute
the laws of this isle justly between
party and party as indifferently as the
herring backbone doth lie in the midst
of the fish. So help me God and the
contents of this book"
