once found a man-sized germ in its

He never attended a family reunion
that lasted as long as two days that

Gently read that man should go
into his closet to pray, he realized
that he had been sadly remiss in his
duties. When he said grace at the
table, being a meek man, he had
thanked his wife. and when he had
prayed il had been at his bedside.
Il will reform" he said one Sunday
morning. Hereafter | will go into
my closet to pray. l will go now"
He opened the closet door and was
in the act of falling on his knees
when his eyes fell on the clothes
racks hung with his 'wife's gar
ments. There was dress after dress,
so completely filling the closet that
there was room for only one suit
belonging to Lysander John.
He counted seventeen dresses, and

she had nothing to wear. There was
the blue silk as good as new, which
she said was fit for the ragbag, and
a broadcloth she had worn only
twice
There's that green serge, that
black and white check. that brown
diagonal; the gray suit she had
bought two months ago; suit after
suit, and every one as good as new.
Good Lord, ] wonder what ais
The name of the Lord recalled him
to his purpose, and he tried to get on
his knees, but found there wasn't
room because of the shoes, brown,
white, black, kid, cloth, patent
leather, high and low, that were
scattered around him.
ANY one would think" Lysander
John grumbled, that my wife is a
centipede. And she said yesterday
she must get at least six more pairs
before another week"
In his anger he sWore at woman
and her extravaganza, and, knowing
that resistance to his wife was futile,
he began kicking the shoes out into
the bedroom, throwing after each shoe
a woman's garment in silk or wool.
His wrath grew with the contents of
the closet to such bounds that when
he had cleared a space large enough
for kneeling he no longer felt like it.
She has cost me all have on this
earth" he groaned, and now she
has cost me the chance to get to
Heaven"

sess some ineXplicable quality. like
that of the water Of certain wells and
springs, which draws those who have
once tasted it back again with an ir
resistible longing.
Even the snOwfiakes and ice crys-
tails of the Antarctic appear to be
unique. In calm weather they some
times fall suddenly out of an appar-
emily clear. serene sky, and, settling
on the white surface beneath, look
like countless thousands of crystal
coins, as large as shillings, rejecting
all the cOlors of the spectrum. They
lie tipped at every possible angle,
catching every sunbeam and splitting
up its prismatic hues.

never be more aptly employed than

Strange Birds.
The life of the Antarctic is also
more abundant and varied than that
of the North Polar regions. The sea
is full of inhabitants. and strange bird
forms appear on the snow and ice
covered land. Among these the first
rank must be given to the penguins,
which. at a distance, startlingly re-
semble human figures. They also
mimic men in many Of their motions,
and a procession of them, in their
white vests and trousers and black
coats. resembles the stately march Of

Every explorer who has seen the
twin volcanoes of Erebus and Terror
is impressed by their majestic and
wonderful appearance, towering up

that the ancient continent beneath Is
yet alive and full of its primeval en-
ergies.

Meant Well.

English cyclists travelling alone on
the Continent have many queer ex-
periences. A young man who was
bicycling in Southern France was
pushing his machine up a steep hill
when he overlook a peasant with a
donkey cart who was making but lit
tie progress, though the donkey was
doing his best.
The benevolent cyClist, putting his
left hand against the back of the cart
and guiding his machine with the
other, pushed so hard that the don
key taking fresh courage, pulled his
load up to the top successfully.
The summit reached, the peasant
burst into thanks to his benefactor.
1T was very good of you, indeed.

never in the world have got up the
hill with only one donkey"

But quickly she put this thought aside
as unjust For whatever Maggie's

You'd better lie down, ma'am," ad-

sick If it's here, wen come across It.
But you won't find it the way you're

going back again over the same ground.
By the time Warren came Helen was
almost hysterical. She felt she could not

she had told him the truth yesterday
instead of saying she had left the ring
at the jewelers.

There was still the chance that she
might find It tomorrow.
But the strain OF the sleepless night
and the fruitless days search had been
too great, and at dinner Helen broke
down completely. Without any warning,
she suddenly hid her face in her nap
kin and burst into tears.
Warren laid down his knife and fork
and stared at her
"Wen, by guns! What's come over
you?"
My engagement ring" she sobbed
Il didn't take It to Blackford's It's

The silence of the next few moments
was broken only by Helen's sobs. She
dared not look up.

That's what's been the matter. And
why, may I ask, did you lie to me
about it,"
Helen cringed at the cold sarcasm in
his voice.
"Oh, II thought I'd find it." she
sobbed, And l didn't want to worry
you"

cause you're always lying. You don't
know how to tell the truth"
"Oh, but the ring, Warren, my en-

BY GARRETT P. sERvIss.

TIME marvellous charm of the
Antarctic is finding its way to
every mind through the many
books that have recently been poured
forth by, or in the name Of such men
as Captain Scott, Captain Amundsen,
Ernest Shackleton and Jean Charcot.
The stories that they tell and the
pictures that they show open up vir-
tually a new world for human con-
temptation,
The surroundings of the South
Pole are far more interesting than
those of the North Pole. There seems
always tc have been a dim fore
glimpse of this fact which has col.
ored mems imaginings about the re-
mote regions of the South. The feel
ing that some great and romantic
mystery existed there can be discern
ed in early works of fiction, in which
the Antarctic Continent played a part
as, for instance, in Poe's remarkable
story of Arthur Gordon Pym."
But the actual facts, as they have
come to light within few years past
exceed all that imaginative writers
could invent. The Antarctic Cont
er mass of land than anyone could
have anticipated. In mean elevation
it is the loftiest land on the whole
globe, and wherever its vast mantle
of ice allows a glimpse to be obtained
of what lies beneath, indications are
found that il has passed through a
history animated by the presence of
wonderful living forms. Its immense
coal beds alone suffice TO prove that
once it enjoyed a temperate, if not
a tropical climate. The great for
ests which produced the material for
these beds certainly did not flourish
amid eternal ice!
Very Fascinating.
But even in its present state it is
fascinating to the eye and to the
mind. Nowhere else in the world is
there anything comparable with that
enormous barrier of ice cliffs, running
for thousands of miles around the
hidden continent and rising straight
out of the ocean like a glittering
wall, hundreds of feet in height and
so vertical that in many places a
ship may lie directly alongside, and
where there is a depression of the
wall a landing may be made from
4.
The fleets of icebergs that break
off this barrier are unmatched in size
number and strangeness of form.
Look, for instance, at the picture
that DR. Charcot took of a gigantic
floating ice arch.
Often as the barrier is approached
dark shadow is seen in the side
of the wall When this is near It re-
solves itself into stupendous cav
ern in the ice face, filed with green
and purple reflections and shadows.
and so large that a ship might pass
within. Mr.. ShackletOn describes one
Of these ice caverns which cut the
waterline. and was so spacious that
his steamer, the NimTod, might have
been steered directly into it without
touching its roof or its sides with
masts or yards.
The meteorological peculiarities of
the region are unique. The explorers
are unanimous in declaring that the
air is so pure and invigorating that
after single visit all are eager to 90

ing him made her sick with dread.
In spite of Helen's effort to appear as
thing was wrong.
What's the matter with your" he de-
manded at dinner. What makes you
so glum?'
why nothing. dear. I'm a little tired,
that's all"
To Helen the evening seemed endless
Warren read and she tried to sew, but
not for one instant was the ring out Of
her mind. And she was in constant
dread lest Warren should see her bare
finger and speak OF IT.
That night she could not sleep She
tossed and turned and angIished over
the ring In the morning she had one Of
her sick headaches. which nervous wor-
ry and lack of sleep always brought on
More Lies.
You're not at a funeral, you know"
was Warren's eaustic comment, as he
buttered his third piece Of toast.
"Oh, / know with a forced laugh;
its this weather, I suppose. I'll be all
right by vening."
AS Helen poured his second cup Of
coffee, he suddenly noticed her hand
Whats the natter" sharply. Where's
your ring?"
"Oh. the stone was a little loose-one
of the prongs was worn, and I left it to
have It reset"
Always some plausible untruth SEEM
ed to leap to Helen's lips at such times
She was never deliberately deceiving
The words seemed always to come Of
themselves.
why didn't you give it to me? Where
did you take It to? Some snide con-
Germ? They'll change that stone on you
if you're not careful"
"Oh, no, dear. I took it TO Black
ford's. l didn't want to bother you
with IT,"
With unspeakable relief Helen saw
Warren off that morning. At least he
had not doubted her story of the night
before.
Maggie swept carefully every room
and Helen went through every drawer
and closet. Boxes, clothes hampers.
shoe bags, every possible nook into
which the ring might have slipped from
her finger was searched.
She was to have gone shopping with
Mrs. Stevens that afternoon, but she
phoned her that she could not go. BY
noon she was almost sick, and yet she
kept on looking. Over and over again
she would search in the same places in
a futile, helpless way.
There amt no use loolxin in there
again, ma'am," said Maggie. as for the
dozenth time Helen went through her
top bureau drawer
