CHAPTER Ill
That morning they had no breakfast.
Pemmican and salt beef were both
gone. Not a crumb Of biscuit remain
ed. They were obliged to content
fee and start off again.
They scarcely went three miles be-
fore they were compelled to give up
the day. They had no supper but cof-
fee, and the dogs were so ravenous
that they were almost devouring each
other.
Another day-thirty -four hours since
they had tasted food. Yet they contin-
ued their march, sustained by their su-
perhuman energy of purpose. They
had to push the sledge themselves, for
the dogs could no longer draw it.
Then Johnson drew haggard- eyed
and wild. He caught the doctors arm
that night.
That bear is following u.s." he cried,
hoarsely
"A bear following us?"
Yes, for the last two days"
Have you seen him?"

we should keep him waiting"

Just then Hatteras made his appear
ance, and the doctor told him his pro-
ject and showed him the mercury.
The captain grasped his hand SILENT
ly and the three went off in quest OF
their game.
They soon sighted him, about 900
yards distant
Friends, this is no idle sport" said
Hatteras. I'VE must act prudently.

He would outstrip hare in fleetness!"

"All right! We'll get It. Leave

AT the snow hut, Hatteras slipped
into the seal skin.
Now, give me the gun," he said.
Courage. Hatteras!" said the doc
tor, handing him the weapon, which he
had loaded with the mercury bullet.
Soon a seal was making its way to-
ward the bear. 1t was a perfect imi-
tation. The bear, greedy-eyed, waited.
When the seal was ten PAGES away
the monster sprang forward with q
tremendous bound. but stopped short,
stupefied and frightened when Halter
as threw Off his disguise, knelt on one
knee and aimed straight at the bears
heart. He fired and the huge monster
rolled back on the ice.

To Boil Vegetables.

When boiling vegetables be sure the
water is at boiling point before putting
in the vegetables to be cooked. If 1t
is cold or lukewarm the freshness and
flavor will cook out into the water.
Place the saucepan over the hottest
part OF the stove, so that it will boil as
quickly as possible, and be careful that
the boiling does not cease until the
contents are thoroughly cooked and
ready to be dished.

MACK'S TEAM MADE OF SEASON
ED MATERIAL.
BY HUGH f. KEoUGH.


The Connie Mack school of baseball,
with the system of which the Ameri-
can league has been familiar for sew
reral years, is without doubt, as far
rs any attempts at imitation have ap-
peared, known to the entire baseball
world, and the baseball world marvels
at it.
The new and the old school, the
new and the old system of team
building, were brought into sharp CON
trast in the world series, and the re
suit is a matter of history. No two
managers could be more unlike in
their methods than Frank Chance and
Connie Mack, no two could be wider
apart in their estimate of what con-
stitutes high-class and dependable
ball team, and both have been sue
eessful in the winning of pennants.
This makes the comparison of the
two schools interesting In fact, it
imparts all the interest there is to
the question, for if one were success
full and the other a failure there would
be no question at all Nobody hears
of Macks ball players until they have
arrived, and when they arrive they
are wearing his colors. Everybody
hears of Chances men before he gets
them. Mack gathers UP young play
ers from among the schools and col
leges in the neighborhood of his home
town, develops them and builds his
team with them.

Chances theory about the organiza-
tion of ball club is in line with the
Junior Mr.. Rochefeller's parable of
the American beauty rose. which is
that twenty buds have to be sacrificed
In order that the full strength of
the plants should go into the making
of one perfect bloom Chance is as
poorly supplied with young blood as
any other big league manager.
Early spring finds him with whole
raft of young players on his hands.
Among those young players there may
be many Collinses and Bakers and
Rarrys, but Chance never waits to
find that out. If weak spot appears
in his team he doesn't try to locate
a substitute among his recruits from
the minors and train him to fill the
place of the veteran whose usefulness
is slipping. Instead of that he takes
a. group Of his youngsters and trades
aheln for a player who is already in
the public eve and whose baseball edu-
cation practically is complete.
Chance believes, or has believed up
TO now, in the ready made article
His accepted mission has been to win
pennants and not to make ball play
ers. He has won many pennants dur
ing his Chicago managerial incumben-
cy, yet I don't think he can point to
a hall player he has made
They were all made when they came
TO him. He never would 0ave play

prove or whose morals he would have
to correct He will not clutter up his
premises or devote his time to drill
ing awkward squads, no matter how
mach promising material there may
be among them. And he will not have
a player about him, however brilliant,
whose goings and comings require
scrutiny, neither will he have one
about him who does not readily ad-
Just himself to the Cubs way Of go
ing
The salary lists of all the clubs in
the big leagues are large, and the fig
ures of the Chicago National league
club led all the others. This has
been the clubs boast. 1t has banked
much on it, to the enhancement Of its
prestige.
The management has gained much
praise for its generosity on this ac-
count. The fact remains that the
club simply makes virtue Of ne
cessity. Such players as it is com
posed of demand big salaries, and that
from the moment they land in
Chances hands for they come there
with their reputation made and at
that stage Of their career where they
realize that the life of ball player is
short and that it behooves him to get
as much money as he can get out Of
it while he is at it. The Cub manage
ment does not like to part with money
any better than any other club man
agement.
