at the same moment in far off Den
mark DR.. Frederick A. Cook, of
Brooklyn, was being dined and lion
lied by royalty for the same achieve
ment.
Undeniably Yankee git has con-
quered the frozen north and there has
been created coincidence such as the
world will never see again. Two
Americans have planted the flag of
their country in the land of ice, which
man has sought to penetrate for four
centuries and each ignorant of the
others conquest has flashed within
period of five days laconic message
of success to the waiting world Cook
In his first message to his countrymen,
was brief, but non-committal; Peary
was even briefer but specific STARS
and stripes nailed to the north pole"
he said. ThatNwas all; but never be-
fore have so few words conveyed to
a people greater meaning or a
greater patriotic satisfaction.
Two Flags Float There.
On September /, DR.. Cook sent out
from the Shetland island the first
message of his success-a message
which has aroused a storm of con-
troversy around the world. Monday
Robert E. Peary, lost from view in
the land of ice and unheard from
since August, 1908, startled the
world by a similar message sent from
Indian Harbor, Labrador There was
no qualification; it left no doubt. 1t
announced unequivocally that he had
reached the top of the world Thus
two flags with stars and stripes of the
United States are floating in the ice
packs proving the courage of the in
,trepid Americans.
With but a word from Peary the
world waits breathlessly for Details
but until he should arrive at Chateau
Bay, Labrador, waiting must suffice.
First word of Peary's success reach
ed New York in dispatch to The
Associated Press. 1t contained the
bare announcement of his finding the
pole. Almost simultaneously he had
Transmitted the news to London, re
peating dramatically and simply
-"Stars and Stripes nailed to the north
pole"
At the same time he similarly ad
-yised the governor Of New Foundland
Announced on Two Continents.
Both the old and the new worlds
were thus apprized of his great
achievement practically at the same
moment, and the excitement whict
followed, attests to the high pitch Of
interest aroused over this climax Of
mans perseverance. Newspaper extras
were rushed from the press and those
who read marveled at the twist of the
universe which had snatched the ice
mask from the north in so strange G
manner.
Like DR.. Cooks first message
Peary's was tantalizing in its brief
ness and the waiting public stimulated
by DR.. Cooks success was left un
'satiated, for, as did DR.. Cook, Pear!

SYNOPSIS.

Mr.. Solomon Pratt began comical mar
ration of story, introducing well-to-do
Nathan Scudder of his town, and Edward
Van Brunt and Martin Hartley, two rich
New Workers seeking rest. Because of
latter pairs lavish expenditure of money:
Pratt's first impression was connected
with lunatics. Van Brunt, it was learned,
was the successful sutton for the hand
of Miss Agnes Page, who gave Hartley
up. Adventure at Fourth of July cele-
bration at Eastwich. Hartley rescued a
boy, known as "Reddy," from under a
horses feet and the urchin proved to be
one of Miss Pages charges, whom she
had taken to the country for an outing.
Out sailing later, Van Brunt, Pratt and
Hopper were wrecked in a squat. Pratt
landed safely and a search for the other
two revealed an island upon which they
were found. Van Brunt rented it from
Scudder and called it Ozone island. In
charge of a company of New York poor
children Miss Talford and Miss Page Wis
tied Ozone island. In another storm Van
Brunt and Hartley narrowly escaped be-
ing wrecked, having aboard chickens,
pigs, etc, with which they were to start
farm. Eureka Sparrow, a country girl,
was engaged as cook and Van Brunt
and Hartley paid a visit to her father,
who for years had been claiming con-
sumption as an excuse for not working.
Upon another island visit by Miss Page,
Eureka. diagnosed Hartley's case as one
of love for Agnes.

he acted nervous and uneasy.

full"
= OF course the Talford girl thanked
him, too. He acted good deal like
he wished he hadn't come.
But l guess that feeling wore off
after a while. 1t seemed to me that
Miss Page was considerable pleasanter
to him than I'd seen her yet. She
talked to him more and there want
so much of that chilly "hands-off" kind
of manner in her voice. Two or three
times they seemed almost friendly, as
you might say, and toward the end of
the day Hartley's blueness, that was
always with him when she was in
sight, had pretty nigh disappeared. He
seemed quite happy, for him-not his
usual careless, don't-care kind of jol-
lily, either.
One thing that l think Agnes noticed
was the way the boy, Redny, stuck to
him. You could see that the little
chaps idea of a first-class brick was
Martin Hartley. And another sure
thing was that Redny was the Page
girls favorite. She was always run
ming after him to see what he was do
ing, that he didn't get hurt, or such
like. One time when she'd gone on
this kind of an errand, and the Twins
and Miss Talford and me was left to-
gether, spoke up and says:
THAT small fire top is considerable
on Miss Agnes mind, amt he?"
Margaret Talford laughed. Hes

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in few words. and that
from personal experience She writes:
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, 1 cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal
atable, economical and nourishing
of all.
When 1 quit tea and coffee and be-
gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts

ritable / could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
After using Grape-Nuts short time

Eients have disappeared and now am

been almost raised on Grape Nuts,
which they eat three times a day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom OF
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.

bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for u.s."

That was a sample of the talk of
them two. Just nonsense, but they
seemed to enjoy it first rate.

crowd, as usual, with stories about the
island and our doings on it. He told
how the Ark upset, and twas wild

embroidering it twas a regular crazy
quilt. Then he begun with Eureka.
He didn't know much about Washy,
except from the girls talk, for Hartley
nor me hadn't told much of our ex-
perience. So all he said was that the
old man was sick. Agnes Page seemed
a good deal interested
