CtdAPIER .-(O0ntlnueu.
As on the preceding night each man
took his hours watch on the uppel
plateau. When 1t came to Altamont's
turn, and he had gone out to relieve
Bell, Hatteras called his old compan-
ions round him. The doctor left his
desk and Johnson his cooking. and
FASTENED to their captains side.
my friends" he said, '1et us take
advantage of the Americans absence
to talk business. There are things
which cannot concern him, and with
which / do not choose him to NEEDLE"
Johnson and Clawbonny looked at
each other. wondering what the cap
tain was driving at.
Il WISH" he continued, Ito talk with
you about our plans for the future"
"All right; talk away, while we are
alone" said the doctor.
Tn month, or six weeks at the out
side, we can leave here. Have you
thought Of what we had better do this
SUMMER"
Have you. captain?" asked john
son.
Have II Not an hour of my life
! passes without revolving in my mind
one cherished purpose. I suppose not
q man among you intends to retrace
his steps?"
No one replied. and Hatteras went
on to say:
For my own part, even If / must
go alone, will push on to the north

We can return after we have dis

fore, better even. Our difficulties will
not Increase, for as we near the pole
we get away from the point of greatest
cold. We have fuel and provisions
enough. There is nothing to stop us
and we should be culpable, in my opin-
ion, II we allowed ourselves to aban.
don the project"
Very well. captain; I'll go along
with you"
That's right; never doubted you,'
said Hatteras. I'VE shall succeed, and
England will have all the glory"
But there is an American among

Hatteras could not repress an I'm.
patient exclamation.
Il know It'll" he said, sternly.

the doctor.

almost mechanically.
"And he will be sure to go, too"
He will be sure to go, too; but who

You, captain"
"And If you all obey my orders. will

The three Englishmen looked a

BY the coast, as far as possible
was the reply.

CHAPTER VI.

CHAPTER VI
Il II . dreary AFFAIR to live near the
pole. for there 10 no going out for
many months, and nothing to break
the weary monotony.
The day after the hunting excursion
was dark and snowy, and Clawbonny
could fin6 no occupation except polish
ing up the ice wallis OF the hut, and
emptying out the snow which drifted
into the long passage leading to the In
ner door. The Snow House" stood
out well, defying storm and tempest.
The snow only increased the thick
ness OF the walls.
They could do nothing but wait. II
wasn't time to try to build a boat.
The men were compelled to spend
the greater part of the days in COM
plete idleness. Hatteras lolled on his
bed absorbed in thought. Altamont
smoked or dozed. and the doctor took
care not to disturb either OF them, for
he was in perpetual fear of a quarrel
At meal time he always led the con-
versation away from Irritating topics
He gave them dissertations on history
geography or meteorology, handling
his subject in an easy, though philo-
sophical manner drawing lessons from
the most trivial incidents.
His inexhaustible memory was never
at loss for fact or illustration, while
his good humor and geniality made
him the life and soul Of the little COM
pany. He was implicitly trusted by
all. even by Hatteras, who cherished q
deep affection for him.
On the 26th of April, during the
night. there was a sudden change IN
the weather. The Thermometer fell
several degrees, and the inmates Of
the Doctors House could hardly keep
themselves warm even In their beds
Atamont had charge Of the stove, and
he found 1t needed careful replenishing
to preserve the temperature at 50 de-
grees above zero.
The increase Of cold bOtokenec
the coming end OF the stormy wealth
er. and the doctor hailed It gladly as
the harbinger OF his favorite hunting
and exploring expeditions
He rose early next morning, and
with the others climbed up to the tor
OF a hill nearby. Soon he found nu-
merous traces Of animals on all sides
and this within a circle of two miles
OF Fort Providence.
After gazing attentively as these
traces for some minutes. the hunters
looked at each other silently, and then
the doctor exclaimed:

Kent Them DANCING.

A Washington official. speaking of
blunders in the diplomatic service. told
of a mistake committed by an Amer
lean IN Afghanistan. He said:
This American entertained the
shahzada for three days. giving him
a very handsome suit of rooms in his
house. The morning of the shahZa-
da's arrival the American host visited
him in his apartment and was amazed
to see the royal guest and his entire
staff hopping about the floor in the
oldest way. They conversed politely
and gravely: but. instead of walking.
they hoped. taking great leaps of
eight or nine feet. The host ventured
to ask the reason Of this hopping.
The shahzada politely replied:
"'You see. this carpet is green. with
pink roses here and there. Green Is
a sacred color with us. so we are
obliged to hop from rose to rose. 1t Is
good exercise. but rather fatiguing, l
confess"

A Big Day for Democrats.

Possibly the keynote of the
political campaign of 1910 will
be pitched at the National Feed
ers and Breeders Show at Fort
Worth. The opening day.
March 18th, is designated as
Democratic Day. Invitations
have been sent to every Demo-
cratic governor in the United
States to be present on that day.
Gov. Shallenberger of Nebraska
has formally accepted the in
vitatiOn to make the opening adj
dress of the National Feeders
and Breeders show, and Gov.
Campbell of Texas will make the
response for the show and for
Texas. The horn of Democracy
will be exalted and great things
are in the air. The Democratic
candidates for governor, lieuten-
ant-governOr, attorney general,
and other high officers, will be
included in the invitation. In
fact, every Democrat in Texas
who has political aspirations or
is interested in the welfare of
his party, is expected to attend
and participate. With so much
political talent on the ground. II
will be surprising if things are
not said and done that will have
a telling effect in the elections to
be held throughout the country
this year. 1t may be set down
as certainty that the eyes and
ears of the political world will
be centered on Fort Worth on
the 14th of March. Our readers
who want to be on the ground
and see and hear, can get there
by the cheapest railroad fares
ever offered to a similar event
The show lasts from March 14th
to 10Th.

DETERMINED

Washington, March 29.-The charge
preferred on the floor of the house
last Friday by Martin, Democrat, of
Colorado, that the former attorney
of the sugar trust Is now head OF tie
department Of justice Of the present
administration brought forth let
ter Of denial from Attorney General
Wickersham addressed to Represen-
tative Bennett, ofeNew York.
Wickersham says he never was an
attorney for the sugar trust, under
standing that the American Sugar Re-
fning company and its allied or
subsidiary corporations is meant, nor
had any professional or business re-
lations to it.
The only possible foundation fCs
the statement is in the fact that one
of his partners some three years ago
was retained as counsel for the
American Sugar Refining Company
in a single suit.

carry it to a definite conclusion. Mar
tin said.
The attorney general avoided
making a denial of the features of
the charges: That his decision gave
the sugar trust $4,000 acres of Phil.
ippine friar lands for price less
than the government paid, and that
there was ma warrant of law for such
decision. The law plainly limits the
sale of public lands to one person or
company to $500 acres. There was
no question about the friar lands
being public lands. Wickersham said
that his partner, whom we under
stand was Henry w. Taft, brother of
the president, and not he, was attor-
ney for the sugar trust, This form
of disavowal can carry little weight.
Il shall continue my efforts to
show up what | believe but the begin
ming of gigantic grab by the sugar.

friar lands acquired by the govern
ment at cost of $7,200000 or SIS
