When you come to Washington and a
pretty girl smiles at you from one Of the
sightseeing cars, don't get puffed up with
pride, observes q Washington letter. That
is what she IL there for, but most young
men don't find it out until they have given
up their dollar, mounted the "rubbernecK
coach" and tried to carry on the Irritation.
1t is a result OF the increasing number
Of sightseeing cars and the growing com
petition. One enterprising "spleler" found
that his descriptions of historical and con
temporaneous Washington failed to draw
the patronage.
One day he gave a free ride to a couple
of friends-attractlve young women they
were-aud was panied to observe that be-
fore the car got under way half a dozen
young fellows, evidently visitors, had come
aboard and were endeavoring to pick up
an acquaintance. The "spieler' was about
to declare battle, when the situation struck
him in another light.
Every day since the young women mount
the car as it waits for passengers, and
cast ~alluring ~glances at passersby. After
the susceptible ones get aboard they find
the smiles still working, but not for them.
Considering that II is the dull season,
business is remarkably good.

nounced herd of 20 camels from the
sandy desert of Ara bia."
When the show reached town, in

newspapers paid no attention to this
slight discrepancy, but when Cobb en-
tered the Office of a Georgia country
editor he was mad enough TO fight.

and you lied to our people. I've a

'Tll tell you how It was" explained
Cobb. when we passed the swamp
on the way here it was full of alli-
gators and without the slightest warm
ing they leaped upon the bank and
devoured all but one of the camels,
We put up brave fight, but it was no
use"

Peary has placed his case in Cen
eral Hutbards hands, and a meeting
of the officers of. the Peary Arctic club
will be called at the earliest possible
moment by General Hubbard. The
meeting will be held in New York.
This action will be taken because
General Hubbard believes that Com
mander Peary's interests win benefit
by an early subn[ ssion of his records
and observations of the trip to the
pole.
Concerning DR.. Cook" said General
Hubbard tonight, Il would say let
him submit his records and data to
some competent authori- and let that
authority draw its own conclusions
from the notes and records taken in
the field. DR. Cook is reported as
having said that he wants sixty days
to go over his records in order to work
out his conclusions to show that he
has been to the pole.
1T is for the scientific tribunal,
whether the Royal Geographical so
ciety of Denmark, or any other soci-
ETY., to say whether conclusions have
been reported by consideration of the
records. All that is wanted is the
data and records made in the Arctic.
Competent authority will determine
from them where DR.. Cook has been.
Il may say that Commander Peary
win also be expected to turn over his
data and observations for the same
purpose. What proof Commander
Peary has that DR.. Cook was not at
the pole may be submitted later"
While Peary and General Hubbard
will not discuss what societies the
commanders data shall be laid be-
fore, the coast and geodetic survey at
Washington will examine the Iecords
in an official capacity, inasmuch as
Commander Peary is an officer of the
navy attached to that bureau at pres
ent.

hung there and then the swirl or the
wave carried her into the darkness.
She lay directly in the wake of the
yacht, and the launch was pitched I'D
and down by the waves made by the
rapidly moving ship with a violence
OF motion that was sickening. There
were a pair Of oars in the boat but
she did not break them out. She Just
drew herself down in the stern sheets
and lay there waiting. She knew that
the clatter of the motor could be heard
a long distance in so still a night and
over so still a sea, and therefore, al.
though her impulse was to start It at
once, she restrained herself and
waited, watching the yacht rapidly dis
appear She could mark her course
easily by the light from that cabin
window. Her ear was keen and she
listened until she could no longer de.
tect the beat and throb Of the steam.
er's engines. Then she rose and
started the motor.
The boat was provided with a com.
pass. and although she could see no
star, she was able to set a course
which was directly at right angles to
the course Of the yacht. She realized,
or at least she thought 30. that she
would be pursued. She believed that
the yacht would retrace its course.
She decided that those aboard her
would reason that she would endeayor
tn nut as much distance AZ possible
between herself and the yacht, and
therefore she would sail straight away
from il. Consequently, she went broad
off to starboard at right angles to the
other course. The gasoline tanks were
both full. Inasmuch as the boat had
been designed for extended cruising
in shallow waters, there was enough
fuel to keep the motor going for over
30 hours at full speed. The motor
was capable Of developing at least ten
knots per hour. By the same time
tomorrow night she would be 240
miles away from the present spot. The
yacht was going IL knots an hour. Her
escape would probably not be discov-
cred for ten hours. BY that time the
yacht would be 100 miles away. They
would be $50 miles apart by morn
ing, measured on the hypotheuse, and
by night, who could tell? At any
rate, she had now done all that she
could.
