The atmosphere into which Rather
inc Prenton was suddenly plunged by
her bold step was the very antithesis
OF these requirements. 1t was I'M
healthy. and like unhealthy airs 1t
bred disaster. She had been trained
to independence of conditions, to dis
esard of circumstances, as well as to
,isdain of restraint; but there was
that within her surroundings which,
rom her arst experience of them. she
'elt instinctively to be vitiating. which
ended to deprave. which precluded
he exercise of clear, u~ninfuenced
sientality. Especially in her ISL was
this true since the luxury with which
she had been surrounded appealed SO

Born of two fanatics on the same
subject. whose insanity was modified
and notified by brilliancy of intellect
in every other field of investigation
and experiment, Katherine Brenton
had been trained to the hour for her
profession, for the exploitation of her
principles. The greatest of universe
ties pointed to her with peculiar pride
as one OF the children OF the free;
free from everything in thought and

you; though the more abundantly I
love you, the less I be loved" The
beauty of the phrase caught her fancy.
She read with a strange new interest
the chapter in which these words
were shrined. The touch of human
passion came to her across the long
years and with the ring sparkling In
her own white hand she embodied its
tradition in personality and the wom-
an who had been SO loved stood be-

John Revell Charnock, evidently the

The one man who started with him.

Cooks North
Pole Trip


DR. FREDERICK A. COOK, the
courageous explorer who has
~ gained undying fame by his
discovery Of the north pole, is
a resident OF Brooklyn. For years he
has given bis attention to arctic ex-
plorations and In 1912 was surgeon
Of the Peary arctic expedition and in
1879 surgeon OF the Belgian arctic
expedition. He has received numerous
decorations from the geographical so
cieties Of Europe for his research and
writings in the polar field.
DR.. Cook started on his present expe-
dition In the summer Of 1907, sailing
from North Sydney. c. B., on board
the schooner John X. Bradley, built by
John r. Bradley of New York, who
financed the expedition.
The party was REINFORCED with
sledges, dogs and arctic equipment
at Etah. Greenland, whence it sailed
March 3. 1905. DR.. Cooks plan was to
set aside all tradition by making the
dash to the pole during the winter
months. when the elements are consid-
cred least advantageous for an ad-
vance nOrthward.
Without big ship, without the COM
pany Of single white man, DIR. Cooks
dash for the north pole was made un-
der incredible hardships. and he had
not been heard from In more than a
year and had been practically given up
