But she heard no more. The door

down the stairs, through the dark boat

fresh air. She took her horse from the
wondering orderly, scarcely hearing his
eager questions, and rode slowly back
to the palace.
Solemn faces greeted her as she dis
mounted at the steps. Her return alone
was ominous. Her bowed shoulders and

that her errand had been futile. The

Some of the men started and ex-
changed chances at these audacious
words; but they went to their stations,
and quickly from all sides of the palace
there was the sound of rifle
With buoyant step, Williams walked
about from post to post of the palace

watched him, and presently she found,
to her own surprised and blushing dis

thought, nor of the outcome of this
mad adventure, but only of the safety
of its leader.
At every rifle shot she started and
looked to see if he had fallen But he
made his way among the trees, con

bullet touched him. Presently they

Sensation at WinsIow.

Winslow. Feb. 22. "A consider able sensation was caused here last week when a newly born babe was found dead in the sewer pipe of a rooming house. Rangers Olds and Byrne at once went to work on the case, and created still more of a sensation by arresting a widow who was well known here and respected. Her husband has been dead about three years. She was compelled to submit to an examination by physi- clans, the result of which. it is said, will bring forth incriminat- ing evidence. She charged the phy- sicians with lying. The same day she broke down and is now very ill. Owing to her illness there has been no preliminary hearing. There are many who believe her guilty of in- fanticide. Still she has friends who are doing their utmost to hush up'' the matter. and there is no doubt that everything possible will be done to get the case thrown out of court if it ever comes up.

AN AUSTRIAN PEDESTRIAN
Reaches Flagstaff on Q Twenty-Five
 Thousand Mile Stroll.

Joe Milkulec, a young Austrian pedestrian, arrived in Flagstaff Monday on a little 25,000 mile stroll. during which he is gather ing news for a European publish ing company. With each of his news letters (which is similar in character to those of Frank G. Car penter) he sends photographs with which to illustrate same. He took a number of snow pictures while here and as a result Flagstaff vii receive some publicity across the pond.
 The publishing company to which Mikulec sends his articles are under contract to pay him 50,000 crowns ($10, ,000) if he walks 25,000 miles in five years. Starting from Croa- tia. Austria, on February 5. 1906. he has already walked over l7,000 miles, and is now 600 miles ahead of his time schedule. Another con dition of the contract is that Miku lee must visit the capital of every state in the union. He carries a book with him, in which the seals of the various states and territories are stamped, together with some kind of a certifying note from a state official.
 Mikulec is about 30 years old and looks rather sprightly. In Europe he broke the record of that country by covering 55 miles in 12 hours and 55 minutes. In crossing the desert coming out of California he disliked the vast silences so much that he indulged in one of his old practices. and walked 4S hours on a stretch in order to hasten his pro-

SHRINERS AT PHOENIX
Initiate Forty eight Candidates Gregg, Francis and LampOrt Among Them.

The meeting of the Shriners in Phoenix Monday was one of the largest ever held in Arizona. The keys of the city were turned over to the faithful. who lost no time in livening things up to such an ex- tent that "the destructive twenty fifth was for the time forgotten.
 Before being taken to Fl Zaribah Temple for the wierd ceremonies of the evening, the candidates were exhibited on the streets, being drawn in old rickety vehicles, which from their appearance, must have been brought to Arizona by the SpanIards before San Xavier mission was built.
 There were forty-eight candi- dates for the mysteries and miseries of the Shrine. six of whom were from Coconino. They were Jesse Gregg, John w. Francis. J. A. Lamport of Flagstaff; $. s. Preston of Tuba; Joseph B. Garfield, Ross c. Barnard of Williams. It is safe to state that Dr. E. s. Miller. F. w. Perkins. and Fred Breen saw to it that the Coconino candidates got all the torturing that was coming to them.
 Probably the most conspicuous figure was George W. P. Hunt, president of the council. He was arrayed in a merry widow hat, the biggest on record. Below the hat peeped winrow of artificial hair that could be seen a block away His tailor made suit was of streaked calico cut Mother Hubbard and a little short. with directorie slits in the side. A rather exciting inci- dent in connection with the prelim- inaries was the lynching of Charles A. Stauffer, who was hanged to a telephone pole at the intersection of Washington and Center streets. He was cut down later in the day and revived for the evening cere- monies.

pHILETHEA FIFE FEuCNOUs
In Honor of the Birthday Anniversary of "The Father of His Country.
 Was Largely Attended.

A most appropriate social com memoration of Washington's birth day was the reception givena Mon- day night in the reception rooms of the Methodist church by the Phi lathea.
 The decorations were as pretty as they were appropriate, consisting as they did of flags, pictures of Washington, and streamers of red. white and blue festooned about the walls. Several novel forms of en- tertainment were introduced which were so clever in conception as to arouse the keenest interest.
 Professor Richardson and Miss Hannah Funston each recited, and Mr. Alsop rendered several solos in his inimitable mirth provoking style.
 When refreshments were served the young people secured their partners by matching quotations written on cards that had after wards been cut in two. Upon be- ing seated at the table the guests found laid with each cover pretty souvenir of the occasion in the shape of a dainty little hatchet, and also conundrum bearing some relation to Washington which the guests were to ask in turn while at the table. Salmon salad and coffee were first served. and then ice cream and cake. In attempt ing to guess the conundrums some of the guests offered splendid toasts to "The Father of His Country. "
 The Philathea has been orga- nized in Flagstaff since last July. We have. however. only recently heard some inquiry among our friends as to what the Phalithea is, and for the benefit of our readers will state that it is an interdenom- national body which was organized ten years ago in Syracuse, New York by a number of young women of that city who felt that there was a need in the Sunday school of some special work in stimulating among young women the desire for true Christian sympathy and service. From this transformations beginning the organization has spread all over the United States and Canada. The Philathea is part of the regu- lar Sunday school. and has for its motto. Young women at work for youhg women. all standing by the bible and the bible school" That the organization has a religious coloring does not in any way pre- vent the members from entering most heartily into any innocent form of amusement or entertain ment. such as the reception Monday night, or shower to one of their sister members when they discover that she is entitled to one.
 The word Philathia is Greek, meaning Lovers of truth. The class emblem is the crescent and bar. and many of the members of the Flagstaff Philathia are known by their pins.

Bed Makinq.
sliced.

Bed making is an art. One should be as careful and painstaking as pos sible for an illy-made bed cries out at you in every wrinkle. The metal bed Is the most sanitary. They may be expensive or not, as the purse per mits. Then have a good. easy spring for we spend one-third of our lives in bed. and let it be comfortable one. Next, a good, comfortable mattress made in sections, so that it may be easily handled, and turned at least once every other day. The sheets should be long enough to tuck in well at the bottom and turn over a good quarter of a yard, or half is better, at the top of the bedding. The subject of the length of sheets was considered of enough importance to warrant a bill being presented to a state legis- lature to compel hotels to furnish six. foot sheets A long sheet, if an under one. may be folded under the mattress at the head and foot, so keping it from pulling and wrinkling. This is very important Item in the making of a sick bed. A long upper sheet, after being generously tucked in at the bot, tom, leaves the half yard to fold over the blanket and comforter, thus keep. ing them clean.
 In putting on the blankets in ma, king a bed when they are double ones in one piece, place the open ends at the head so that one may be drown back if the covering seems too heavy,
 Bed making is said to be the best exercise for a sluggish liver. as the stopping and swaying of the body calls into action those unused muscles.

House Supposed to Be on Site of Peary's Birthplace and to Include Part of the Old Home.

land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lum Der and many other products, by sug- gestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adven- lures. Leut. Peary's distinct ambi tion to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as result of the Greeley expedition and its relief He was then a young officer in the navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection.
 It is strange how soon we are for gotten. People who knew Lieut. Peary'e father are not now certain of his Christian name. Charles H Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the lieutenant's father Charles Peary. EX-Judge A. V. Bark CT of Ebensburg is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George Charles Peary. However that may be. MT. and Mrs. Peary on coming into this county located in the woods near what is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally ac. cepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the orig inal Peary home, and is said to actu. ally include a fragment of the old building
 It was in that house that Robert E. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later his father died Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Pearys birth clearly and tells story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance away to fetch a physician. Kill the horse if you have to-" MT Peary is al legged to have said to the driver, but get the doctor here in a hurry" And It's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gal litizin, was buried amid a blizzard. That was like the north pole itself. I" says the aged Munster man Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth Ne.
 The only basis for the claim that
 Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin. Charles H Peary's father, James
 Peary, came from Maine about the
 same time as George Peary did. but
 instead of locating at Cresson. settled
 at Chest Springs and there his chil | tren have resided ever since.
 George Peary, fortunately left
 enough of an estate to make it possi,
 ole for Mrs. Peary to educate her son
 thoroughly and he finally found his
 way to the Naval academy.

BIRTHPLACE
Explorer First Saw Light of Day
 Near Cresson, Pa.
Love of Sea and Adventure an lnher- ited Trait-Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young
 Naval Officer.

JohnstoWn, Pa.-The movement from Maine to Cambria county. in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most per sistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoyerer of the Pole. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of shook shops" and the manufacture and ship ment of shook and slaves to many distant points was his life work Maine afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast tim cider Peary thought Cambria county, Pa, also virgin wooded land better suited for his purpose, so he located at point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson.
 Pearys naval career sheds an inter- esting light on the question of in- herited traits and predilectionS. The elder Peary, an Englishman, trans planted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for life far in the in. terior, away from even inland lakes. But after his fathers death Robert E Peary, then little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors.

Be IF orehanded.' .'

Begin now to prepare the Christ mas gifts which there is such pleasure in making. A little work when chat ting on the porch these lovely days may be at hand and much accom- plished in odd moments. The popular Irish crochet in lace insertion or edge is always acceptable, or the pretty dainty, little jabots are still much in favor
 One of the prettiest of lunch cloths is made of several rows of double hemstitching with the space between each row filled with the pretty feath er-stitching. Then one may have a spray of French embroidery in two corners and the initial just far enough up to lie in sight on the table when the cloth is spread.
 Very beautiful effects are made with the lace braid that has a thread which draws up, doing away with the te- dious overhanding. A very handsome dolly may be easily made of this kind in two afternoons, the knotted lace thread being used.
 The little individual towels embroid. cred with the initials make very welcome gift.
 The Dutch collar may be easily made, looking much like the expensive ones in the shops. Buy the imitation crochet lace insertion and edge and stitch it on with the machine. It real ly looks like the real lace and wears well.
