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
a hand frozen because she lost a
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 amputated.
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:

Murray smiled languidly. 1.-THE sher

suit, but IL it isn't good enough, I'll
wait until you get one"
A look of satisfaction crossed
Meagher's stern features. Murray,
watching him, knew that he was play
ing for delay and became more than
ever determined to take him on that
ABS train. Meagher leaned forward
and hurled torrent of insulting oaths
at Detective Muncie. possibly hoping
that he might create a diversion by
picking a quarrel with the Cleveland
officer. Muncie made no reply, and
the prisoner again turned his atten-
ton to Murray.

quietly. Il don't want to get hurt any
more than you do. but I'm not any
more afraid than you are"
There was no response. Murray's
mind worked swiftly. The prisoners
silence was uncanny. Perhaps he
might shoot or bring the club down
with splintering force on the back of
his head. Still the detective sat, with
out moving, gazing steadily down the
stairs. Finally Meagher spoke soft
ly, almost in whisper.
You're game fellow, Murray" he
said. ''I'll not go with Muncie, but
I'll go with you. II you get me that

He stepped down and surrendered

said that she was the only woman
who had addressed the body in its
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 a success.
Four years later. accompanied by
two guides Miss Peck left New York
for the Huailas valley. After arriving
In South America there was 90-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 IL 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 a searching
party. The appearance of the Ameri-
can and her guides caused more ex-
element.
The next trip was started on August
%. 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,

Normal school there got a degree in

For time she taught mathematics in

Purdue university and Smith college.
She climbed the Matterhorn in 1895
and Popocatepetl and Orizaba two
years later. Miss Peck was the first
woman to ascend the latter. Then she
tackled Funfingerspitze in the TyroI
in 1900. There was the climb up
Mount Sorata in Bolivia, some 10000
feet, in 1904.
Miss Peck was the Official delegate
Of the United States to the Interna-

in 1900. She is a member of the Ma

years has been a writer upon the SUBJ

SISTERS TRICK
But 1t All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
81 was a coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. 1 Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. 1 noticed the richness of
1t and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
I was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept CIV
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
1 grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place Of my morning coffee.
From that time became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do Justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. will not try to tell 1t, for
only after having used 1t can one be
convinced of its merits"

stroyed. There's Reason"
