They had been sum- noned by her husband, and that was enough.
 They asked to be shown the room, with the storm battered dormer, by this time emptied of it's load of snow. They asked to see Miriam's desk. They smiled at the idea of the pay master being held up and robbed in broad daylight by any gang in their neighborhood-

COOK OWN.SiT0RY Y
COnfeSseS Doubt About
Reaching North Pole.
WAS HALF MAD IN ARCIICS
Brooklyn Explorer Writes Story OF
His Experiences, Saying He
Don't Know What He Did
in Far North.
WAS HALF MAD IN ARCTICS

New York, Dec. DIR Frederick A.
Cook. the Brooklyn explorer. in an
article which will be published in
Hampton's Magazine. confesses that he
does not know whether he reached the
North Pole or not.
DR.. Cook. who has been In hiding
for over a year. has informed the edl-
tors of the magazine publishing his
tale that he will return to the United
States with his wife and children on
Dec. p. in order to spend Christmas
here.
DR.. Cook in his tale deals with the
psychology OF his adventure and says:
Did | get to the North Pole? Per
haps / made. mistake in thinking
that | did. Perhaps | did not make
mistake. After mature thought ! con
fess that | do not know absolutely
whether | reached the pole or not
This may come as an amazing state
ment, but | am willing TO startle the
world IT, by so doing, | can get an op-
portunity TO present my case.
by my case / mean not my case as
q geographical discoverer, but my case
as a man. Much as the attainment Of
the North Pole once meant to me, the
sympathy and confidence Of my fellow
men mean more
Fully. freely and frankly shall te.
you everything. Tell you everything
aud leave the decision with you. II.
after reading my account you say,
Cook Is sincere and honest; half
crazed by months of isolation and
hunger. he believed that he reached
the pole; be Is not faker, then
shall be satisfied"
Half Mad, He Says.
Dr. Cook tells the tale Of his life
and pictures what he calls the over
towering ambition for exploration that
beset him until 1t finally eliminated
in his effort to reach the pole DR.. Cook
declares that at the time he convinced
himself that he had discovered the
pole he was half mad He spent two
years in his quest and during that
time endured hunger and privatlon
that, he says. would unbalance any
mind.
