the season when the pack is little ere vassed and not elastic it is probably wide; later, as the entire sea of ice becomes active. it may disappear or shift to line nearer the land.
 New Ice Stops Drift.
 In low temperature new ice forms rapidly, and this offers an obstruction to the drift of the old ice. As the heavy central ice is pressed against the unyielding land pack the small ice is ground up. and even heavy foes are crushed. This reduced mass of small ice is pasted and cemented along the shores of the big lead, leaving broad band of troublesome surface as a seri- ous barrier to sled travel. It seems quite likely that this lead, or condi- tfOn similar to it, extends entirely around the polar sea as a buffer be- tween the land and the middle pack.
 With the big lead and its many pos abilities for troublesome delay behind, a course was set to reach the eighty fifth parallel on the ninety-seventh meridian. What little movement was noted on the ice had been easterly, and to allow for this drift we aimed to keep line slightly west of the pole.
 The wind was not troublesome fac tor as we forged along for the first day over this central pack After a run of eleven hours the pedometer registered twenty three miles, but we had taken zigzag course and therefore only placed seventeen miles to our credit
 }<~I,E f-.I sank into purple haze, and soon there appeared three suns in prismatic col ors, and these soon settled into the frozen sea. During the night mar row band of orange frightened the northern skies. while the pack surface glowed in magnificent shades of violet and lilac and pale purple blue.
 Land Clouds Still Visible.
 Satisfactory observations at noon on March 24 gave our position as latitude S3 degrees 3i minutes, longitude 96 degrees 27 minutes. The land clouds of Grant Land were still visible, and a low bank of mist in the west occa- sionally frightened, offering an outline suggestive of land. This we believed to be Crocker Land, but mist persist ently screened the horizon and did not offer an opportunity to study the con tour.
 Until midday the time was used for observations and study of the land conditions. The dogs sniffed the air as if scenting game. but after a diligent search one seal blowhole was found and an old bear track, but no alga or other small life was detected in the water of the crevices. At the big lead a few algae were gathered, but here the sea was sterile The signs of seal and bear, however, were encouraging for possible food supply. In return ing the season would be more advanc ed, and the life, might move north

"How can you expect it to be other wise? Perhaps Grin1bleshaw has grounds for complaint. but not for surprise. certainly. As to the dis abling of the phone people are sure to see that he could have telephoned for the police after he got his work done and then nave disabled the in strument Twas he, according to Nal bon, who called attention to it's condi- tion."
 "Oh, twas he all right said Fry eagerly "Malbon told me so at the time.''
 "A shrewd way of securing witnesses that he was there as a physician. do- ing a physicians best. Yet, on the whole, as such things are apt to be a trifle clumsy on examination. as sure to start the question who could have telephoned if he didn't"
 An said Fry ready to take the cue and add his count to the indict- ment. "he had received one mysterious message. according to his story. A second one made his the less remark able.''
 "Yes," said Trafford. "but still. I'm bound to hold. trifle clumsy
 This distinct tone of hostility toward who prided himself. somewhat ostenta- tiously at times as Fry thought, on his thorough impartiality, began to impress his companion most strongly It began to stir his indignation as well. He could not forget that it was he. not Trafford, who first called at tention to the weakness of Grimble- shaw's story, and that Trafford had received his suggestions coldly, not to say sneeringly.
 It struck him. also, that Trafford was weakening. It had been strong point with the detective in the past. as Fry we'll knew to fight off a con- clusion as he approached it. to array against it every fact and argument that he could marshal and not to yield until the last of his resources was broken down. Now. with hundred opposing facts and possibilities un- shaken, he' rushed to accept theory as full of holes as milk skinner.
 With that Fry himself began to mar sha1 the facts that made against the presumption of Grimbleshaw's guilt, and he was well-nigh astounded to find how clearly untenable the theory became under this process. That Traf- ford should have adopted it struck him as almost incredible. unless it was that he had knowledge that he was not revealing. It was possible. of course, that he knew that the guilty man was beyond reach. or, and here seemed a g1immer of light. it had been made worth his while to let the guilty escape, while he was not willing to seem to fail in the task set him.
 Trafford took his satchel 1and um- brella and they walked to the station. From the platform of the. train. with a half dozen people within earshot, Trafford called to Fry:
 Don't lose sight of Grimbleshaw."

worn while asleep, with the double object of screening the strong light which passes through the eyelids and also to keep the forehead warm.
 On this march in the early part of the afternoon the weather proved good and the ice, though newly crevassed, improved as we advanced. The late start spread our days work close to the chill of midnight, and before we were quite ready to camp there were signs of another gale from the west. Little sooty clouds with ragged edges scurried along at an alarming pace, and beyond a huge smoky bank black ened the pearly glitter.
 Suitable camping ice was sought, and in the course of an hour an igloo was built. The structure was built stronger than usual. Double tiers of snow blocks were placed to the wind ward and a little water was thrown over the top to cement the blocks. The dogs were fastened to the lee of hummocks, and the sleds were secure ly lashed and fastened to the ice.
 We expected a hurricane and had
 
 Before we were at rest in our bags the wind brushed the snows with a force fnconceivable. The air thickened with rushing drift. In few moments the dogs and sleds were buried under banks of snow and great drifts en- circled the igloo. The cemented blocks of our dome withstood the sweep of the blast very well, but many small holes were burrowed through the snow wall, permitting some drift to enter
 Early in the morning, after a rush of but few hours, the storm ceased as suddenly as it came and left a still ness which was appalling. The dogs soon began to howl desperately, as if attacked by a bear, and we rushed out, seeking guns, but there was no approaching creature.
 It was a combined signal of distress. The storm driven snows had buried and bound them in unyielding frost. They had partly uncovered themselves, but by trace and harness they were frozen to hardened masses, so much so that few could rise and stretch, which is a severe torment to dogs aft CT a storm. We freed their traces, beat the cemented snows from their furs with sticks, and their curling tails and pointed noses told of common grat- itude.
 As we skirmished about for little stretch ourselves the sun rose over the northern blue, flashing the newly dr1v- en snows in warm tones. The temper ature during the storm rose to 26 be- low, but now the thermometer sank rapidly below 40. The west was still smoky and the weather did not seem quite settled. It was too early to start. so we disrobed arlin, slipped into the bags and sought a quiet slumber.
 A few hours later we .Swere rudely awakened by loud explosive noises.

Austria Catching the Fever
By HOMER EDMlSTON.

In April, Austria's new naval pro-
gram was published, which calls for
three, and maybe four, Dreadnoughts
to be ready in 1912, besides the
three new battleships that will soon
be finished. Of course, every in
crease of Austrian naval force in the
Mediterranean tends to ALLEVIATE Italy
from the Triple Alliance. England
and France are, and must continue
to be, the great naval powers of the
Mediterranean, and Austria might
easily become third. And it is pre-
cisely with these three powers that
Italy's relations are now the most
cordial. Austria's program means
that the two great Germanic powers
Of Central Europe, which are now
working completely in harmony, will
soon have a strong naval base in the
Mediterranean. What England thinks
about 1t is plainly to be seen In the
recent establishment of a combined
military and naval department Of the
Mediterranean, with Malta as its
headquarters and Lord Kitchener in
command. That Italy, with her long
coast line and few defensible harbors,
and with her many important cities
on or near the sea, has reason for
alarm, is out of all question. Her
policy of maintaining fleet twice as
strong as that of any other power
whose coast line is exclusively Medi-
terranean, announced by Admiral
Mirabello in 1907, has been seriously
menaced. 1.-The Atlantic.

ssYour Head Or Money"

Mulai Hadd, Sultan and Shereet,
is tied with grim humor that
keeps his couItiers trembling On the
razor-edge of expectancy.
His latest victim is the kaid OF
Larache, who has recently been on
visit to his Majesty. Certain OF his
position on the coast and uncertain
of his sovereign, the Kaid of Larache
had heretofore refused all invitations
to pay his respects to the new Sui
tan in Fez. What caused him to re-
lent is not known, but he came, ana
with him came peace-otferlng OF
$4,000 and bale OF silk.
Mulai Hafid gave orders that his
visitor should be lodged sumptuously
and fed at hs own table. Each night
the Kaid of Larache was convinced
that he had won the confidence and
affection of his sovereign, and boast
ed to his companions that he had
never been asked to give an account
of the revenues of his office.
At last the day came when the
Kaii of Larache decided to return
to his home The caravan was ac-
cordingly prepared, and the = Kai1

The Cat And The Sparrows.

This is a true story with all the
necessary vouchers, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
An East End family has a cat, a
big grey Tom who answers the name
OF Ben. Ben's natural enemies are
the sparrows. When he can creep
up on one of them and make its
feathers fly he is delighted.
Some time ago lot of the little
chatterers settled on the limb of
tree in Ben's back yard. Ben saw
them and crept foot by foot to the
tree. Up the trunk he cautiously
climbed and finally reached the limb
At this point the s3arroWs saw him
and flew to the ground where they
chartered vigorously, Ben in the
meantime watching them from the
limb with hatred in his yellow eyes.
Then without warning the sparrows
suddenly few up and started con-
certed onslaught on Monsieur Ben.
The pecked him without mercy, un-
til he dropped his head and beat
demoralized retreat-crying mean
while with pain and rage.
Even as he descended the trunk of
the tree three of the birds followed
him with vicious bills.
When he reached the ground he
ran to his mistress on the porch and
sprang into her arms-the triumph
ant birds withdrawing their fighting
line in good order.

QUEEN OF CHESS.

"the queen of chess" has published
1900 chess problems and no woman
has eclipsed the position which she
holds in the chess world. She pos

open competition, and of them she
has said: "These are the product
of a combination of labor and recreaA
ton. I say labor, because 1 am 1ot

that problems to stand the<apublic
