short a time.
But ne did not so 70 his room directly.
As he turned in the old-fashioned hail,
he almost ran into Miss Alice Heath.

LIFE EXPLORATIONS
IN PEARY'S ARTICLE
Pole Discoverer Tells of His
Arctic Work in
Magazine.

NEW YORK. Dec. 17-Commander
Robert z. Pcary's much-heralded
story Of his conquest OF the North
Pole begins 70 January magazine,
which is just out. Although Com
mander Peary does not refer to the
polar controversy, there are in the
article many points which have a
bearing upon his rivals claims.
Peary makes 70 plain in his first
article that his final attainment Of
the boreal center was made possible
only by the former failures Of his
tweuty-three years OF Arctic work
and the lessons he learned thereby.
at was experience which permitted
the discovery Of the POlc-that and
persistence ne writes Prior 20 my
expedition Of 1906, even with all
my experience, I had not the neces-
sary knowledge or conditions in the

mean? I never saw Vanderdam in my
life. I had only learned Of him from
some little slips of Howard S and was
afraid Of his influence ever the boy.
But-how could he be "A rival anyhow
Whose rival2'
And then certain facts suddenly flash
ed into his mind. The chief fact was
that a man and woman could manage
90 get along in some degree Of COM
fort on twenty-five thousand dollars
a year. especially If that were supple
mented with earnings from the in
vestment of something over hundred
thousand
For the moment ne forgot another
fact AS he looked into her face il
forever and forever. He did not re-
member that his acQuaint, nee with her
was matter OF a few weeks during
/ which he had seen her and spoken with
her but four or five times.
The result Of remembering the one
fact and forgetting the other was an
admission that ought properly 20 have
waited a year or two

make mp my mind to give you up for

After a while she managed to recover
sufficiently from her amazement TO
speak with some dignity
Mr.. jarvis think YOU are forget

She was turning away as she spoke.
Forgive me-please, ne pleaded.
/ Give me a little time TO try a bit

She turned around and faced him.
with her hand upon the knob Of the
/ door 10 her room. There was Just a
/ trace Of innocent coquetry in her eyes
as she made answer:
| "Snce all you ask Is time 10 try

She was gone inside her room and

HOUSE SECRETARIES
START A CAMP A|GN
Will Wage Fight to Have
Names Placed on Govern
ment PayrOllS.

Secretaries to members OF the House
are preparing to wage a campaign 10
have their names put on the Govern
rnent payroll They have made similar
efforts in the past, and have been de-
feated by their employers on the floor
of the House. Now, however, the secre-
taries have a good working organization.
and they propose to make their fight
with the assistance Of members Of the
House who look with favor on theiB pro-
gram.
Under the existing law each member
of the House Is allowed 1928 a month
for the employment OF a secretary. The
monthly checks are made out by the
seargeant-at-arms in the name Of the
member. a great many Of the members
( employ secretaries and paw them the
fun amount authorized By law simply by
indorsing the check over.
There are a number Of members OF
the House. however, who are holding
out on their secretaries. In other words.
they do not pay therl the $i25 given TO
I each member with the specific provision
that the money be spent for that pur-
( pose. These members hire stenogra-
pliers at small salaries and pocket the
/ difference
There are still other members Of the
( House who have devised another
/ scheme by which they appropriate a
portion OF the S12j month. Three or
I four Of them get together. select a
/ secretary who shall do the work of the
entire group and pay him $l25. When
| FIVE members make such Il combination
# costs them only five dollars a week
for clerk hire, showing a profit of 81
I a week.
Another scheme practiCed by a few
of the members is TO do without secre-
taT1es altogether, but still draw down
the $l25 a month. Whenever they have
any stenOgraphic work TO be dOre they
gather up their correspondence, 80 over
1 TO the House and dictate 20 the publ,
stenOgraphers, paying so much per let
ter for the work.
/ The secretaries association is now de-
/ handing that members of the HOus,
spend the S125 month as the law di
l reefs and pay the full amount 10 then
clerks They have a list of members
who either keep the entire amount OF
else pocket % portion OF f. and thel
threaten 10 make the list public Unles.
they are protected BY having theil
names put on the regular Government
