Fairly gritting his teeth in rage, the
kaiser turned on his heel and strobe
out into the open air again. What a
fool he had been to intrust himself to
a strange mechanism which at best
was treacherous! A days delay would
not mean much; but what if they were
detained for many? The waning moon
had risen, and in its light he marched
up and down a stretch of turf with
military precision, until his anger be-
gan to disappear and his natural phil
osophy to afford relaxation. He be-
came conscious of the beauties of the
night and the wilderness, and as time
went on was engrossed in contemplate
ing them.

MEDAL FOR CLIMBER
TO COMMEMORATE MISS PEcK'S
ASCENT OF PERUVIAN MOUNT.
Scaled Huascaran, Estimated TO Be
$4,000 Feet High-BeIieVes She
Holds Worlds Record-Silver
Slipper Another Gift.

New York.-Miss Annie S. Peck,
who believes that she has attained the
greatest height in the world by noun
tain climbing, has received gold
medal from President Leguia of Peru
for her most notable and most recent
effort, the ascent of Mount Huascaran,
estimated TO be $4,000 feet high. 1t
was in this climb that Miss Peck had
hand frozen because she lost
glove, and for time the lives of those
in the party were endangered. Ru-
dolph, one of the guides brought from
Switzerland, had been keeping the
heavy outer gloves for Miss Peck and
he not only let one of them fall but
lost one of his own. His feet and one
of his hands were so badly frozen that
they had finally to be amputate6.
Eduardo Higginson, the Peruvian
consul general in this city, presented
the medal to Miss Peck. 1t is in the
shape of shield and is about two
inches long and ~ inches wide. On
the diverse is the inscription in Span
ish:
The Government OF Peru to Annie S.
Peck. No one before her arrived at the
summit OF Huascaran. 2 of Sept, 1905.
The reverse bears a picture of
Mount Huascaran and the inscription:

searchlights were bringing into view
the ground beneath. They were travel
ing slowly over the primeval forest
in far upper Canada. spot came to
view where there were no trees, and
into this, like a crippled bird. the
Norma came to a stop and rested.
The emperor watched the first at
tempts to- define the difficulty with
anxiety, and then, yielding to his de-
sire for sight of the open, asked and
obtained the enclosing of the port,
through which he sauntered into the
night. Without observing what was
around him, he stood leaning against
the she'll Of the radioplane. thinking
with annoyance of the difficulties of
state which might accrue if his alb
sence extended over a day. He was
aroused by the sounds of hammering
and rendng within, and re-entered the
craft, which was now flooded with
binding glare of radiance brought into
life by the ceaselessly turning dyn-
amos.
On their knees, with uniforms cast
aside. and recklessly tearing away the
carefully wrought woodwork OF the
paneled side. were the admiral and the
engineer. while back of them the dis
tracted chancellor OF the empire held
n short crowbar in his hands and
displayed muscular arms which had
been barred to the elbow.
II am sorry, your majesty" apollo
gized the admiral, looking up from
his work, but | am afraid that a
confused handling of the levers has ex-
posed a weakness. A cross current, a
burned insulation and a bad connec-
tion have fused our wires somewhere,

said that she was the only woman
who had addressed the body in it's
native tongue, Spanish.
Miss Peck has had her eye on Mount
Huascaran since 1904. and little later
tried to scale its sides with native
guides. 1t was not success.
Four years later, accompanied by
two guides Miss Peck left New York
for the Huailas valley. After arriving
in South America there was a 80 mile
horseback ride into the interior. A
start up the mountain was made on
August 6.
Snow had to be melted to make
soup and tea. The trip was not sue
cessful, and after ~ days the party
returned. Natives in the village at the
foot of the mountain thought that the
party had persisted. Arrangements
were made to send out searching
party. The appearance of the Ameri-
can and her guides caused more ex-
element.
The next trip was started on August
IS. There were many vicissitudes.
More native porters made progress of
the party speedier.
Miss Peck reached the summit on
September 2, and the next night. while
she was descending with her guides,
all dashed together with a stout line
the leading guide slipped and fell into
a crevasse, carrying her to the very
edge. There were numerous slides
and narrow escapes, but each time the
guide behind braced himself with his
alpenstock and saved her and his fell
low countryman.
Miss Peck was born in Providence
r. l.. and after finishing in the State
Normal school there got a degree in
the University of Michigan in 1878
For q time she taught mathematics in
Bartholomew School for Girls in Gin
cinnati and was professor Of Latin in
Purdue university and Smith college
She climbed the Matterhorn in 1885,
and Popocatepetl and Orizaba two
years later. Miss Peck was the first
woman TO ascend the latter. Then she
tackled Funffingerspitze in the Tyrol
in 1900. There was the climb M
Mount Sorata in Bolivia, some 10000
feet, in 1904.
Miss Peck was the official delegate
of the United States TO the Interna
tional Congress of Alpinism in Paris
in 1900. She is a member of the Ma
tional Geographical society and fol
years has been a writer upon the sub
iects of travel and mountain climbing

Bockton's task proved most diff
flcult one; for the emperor, a man of
science and interested in all engines
Of warfare, insisted on being conveyed
not only to the plant on the key, but
across Chesapeake bay, where he
might look down upon the British
fleet. The night was ideal for the
purpose, Nature seeming to lend her
self in behalf of peace. The Norma,
now fully fitted and comfortable, was
utilized for the mission. Like all
others Of the American fleet. she car
ried provisions sufficient to enable
her to pass many times round the
world in case of emergency.
The kaiser marveled at the display
Of ingenuity, and was told all but the

CHAPTER XXI.
His Maiesty's Visit.

In the heart of the woods, untrodden
before by man, the sound Of the ham,
mer awoke the German emperor after
his hours of anxious study BY choice
he had declined to sleep in the radio
plane, and rolled himself in his blan-
kets on an open spot OF turf. The cares
OF the day were upon him again with
all their perplexities. The sun had not
risen, and the cool breath of the morn
ing came to his lungs with invigorat-
ing freshness, while a bird Of the far
north was beginning thin piping to
its mate and camp robber, brilliant
ly impertinent. hoped round his
woodland couch and gazed unabashed
at royalty.
He threw aside the blankets which
had been tightly rolled round him,
walked to the brook, whose song had
lulled him in his dreams of the night,
and bathed his hands and face in the
icy water. A great trout, disturbed
by the intrusion, sped swiftly away
from rock and disappeared in a
dark pool with final sweep of its
tail The emperor dried his face on
his handkerchief and walked slowly
across the glade to the Norma, which
he entered curiously.
There they all were as on the night
before, tired, work-worn and anxious,
the chancellor still with his sleeves
rolled up, the rear admiral stripped to
his undershirt and the engineer peer
ing through his glasses at the tangles
Of wire. On the night before the
kaiser had stormed and threatened,
had mumbled angry soliloquies, and
sworn mighty oaths to the unheeding
woods. Now at the sight of these
faces before him he understood to the
full that these, his hosts, must have
labored throughout the night trying
to undo the accident which perhaps his
own hands had wrought. 1t softened
his mood.
They saluted him, and Brockton rose
stimy to his feet, wiped his hands on
his trousers, and repaired to the rear
CT the radioplane, from which he
apologetically returned with breakfast
for his guest. The emperor ate with
an appetite which was made keen by
the balsamy night air in which he had
slept. and then began wishing that
he,' too, might take part in this manual
toll. Almost involuntarily he assisted
the fat old chancellor, who was pry'
ing loose another board with crow
bar: but he felt that he was in the
w,c, and after longing round the
craft for time decided that he would
have another look at the brook. 1t
was swarming with trout, and, half
ashamed of his zest, he returned TO
the Norma, and, like boy preparing
to play truant, furtively secured
line. and attached it to fly which he
had in his pocket book.

II seems that the second encounter
occurred near the same spot as the
first. 1t is reported that Mrs, Nc
Rea in passing the Oleson restaurant
was so indiscreet as to laugh at the
disfigured face of Mr.. Oleson. The
latter's wife being near, rushed out
and grabbing Mrs. McRae by the
shoulder shook her fist in Mrs. Nc

at her. At least that is what those
who were near say took place. Some
other remarks are also alleged to
have been made.
When Mrs. McRae escaped from
her assailant she made her way to
the office of the city attorney where
a complaint was made out. The ar
rest and fine followed.
