CHAPTER xI.
The Bakers Daughter.

A large part OF our ambitious
American population Is prone boast
fully to ascribe its origin to one or
other OF those highly respectable, II
really little known monarchs to whom
is commonly accorded the foundation
of old world nobilities. We have built
up a pretty fiction regarding so-called
blue blood, on the flattering, but who'll
ly unsupported suppositicn that royal
qualities are transmissible to the thir-
tieth and fortieth generation; SO that
tbs a poor American family indeed
cannot boast It's coat of arms, barking
back to royal days of Charlemagne or
William the ConQueror. 1t may be.

But continually there arise disturb

regarding a~ristocracy. There are so
very many worthless aristocrats, In

work out according to accepted sched-

1t Is well known among theatrical
managers that no real lady can ini-
tate a real lady. The highest salaries
In ladies' theatrical roles are paid to
ladies who are not ladies', but who
play the parts Of ladies as they think
ladies really would act in actual life.
IL you seek q woman to carry off a
gown, n to assume such really regal
air as shall bring the name OF William
or Charlemagne impulsive to your
lips, find one still owning not more

SENDS 1920 WORDS A MINUTE
New Telegraph instrument Said to
Revolutjorize Service.

Revo!utionize Service.
A Madrid dispatch gives details Of a
new invention which is said to revolu-
tioniZe telegraphy.
The machine, which is declared to be
an improvement on the Hughes instru-
ment, was invented and manufactured
by Senior Balsera Of the Spanish tele-
graph department. 1t is capable of
sending and receiving 1920 words a
minute, three times the velocity of the
Hughes machine. Senior Balsera's ma
chine possesses a type wheel similar to
that OF the Hughes apparatus; but,
whereas with the latter only five inn
pressions or letters can be effected per
revolution, with the former fourteen
may be made with a keyboard of the
same size.
The instrument, it is stated, has been
thoroughly tested by the Spanish tele-
graph department, which has ordered
twenty machines.

Try Arctic Next
WILL USE WIRELESS SYSTEM

Discoverer Of South Pole Says Project
Will Cost 100000 and Consume Six
Years of Effort-Likes Dog Meat.
Describes Equipment For Next Ven
ture--Fram Is Virtually Unsuitable.
Captain ROAD Amundsen, the Nor
wegian explorer who discovered the
south pole in December, 1911, arrived
In the United States recently and is
delivering interesting lectures about
his experiences. He has given out an
entertaining interview on his future
plans.
Speaking Of his proposed trip to the
arctic, he said he hoped to leave San
Francisco In August, 1914. and get
back to civilization in 1920. He plans
to drift with the ice north of this con-
tinent and be the first man to go from
the Pacific to the Atlantic by the
northern channel.
He intends to equip his ship, the
Fran, with wireless apparatus in or
der to keep In communication with
the rest of the world and to use it In
his scientific work. 1t may come In
handy should the party get in trouble.

sen. twill remain in Buenos Aires

There were but five men with me
from the time we left the station un
til we reached the pole. At the pole
and on the return trip we gathered
much material, such as minerals,
corals, and the like. None of the min

metals, and the whole time ! was

them. Only once did we run into the
Shackleton party, and then I did not
see them myself. Some Of Shackle-
toms men called on the men In my
camp, more out of curiosity than any
thing else. imagine.
"As food the men and myself had
hot chocolate and biscuits for break
fast and pemmican, graduated milk
and chocolate for dinner. We had but
two meals a day. The men ate two
pounds of pemmican a day, and e; h

thinks suitable to ice travel.
"The Franz" said Captain Amundsen,

be crushed. II cost the government
about $4,000, and Norway has been
amply repaid by the work that has
been accomplished. do not know what
the trip to the south pole cost, as |

May Reach the North Pole.

I'VE will go directly up the coast to
Alaska, where we will take on board
some dogs and maybe an Eskimo or
two. We will just drift around and
may reach the north pole, although we
won't try especially hard to. That has
been discovered once, and that is plen-
ty. We will study the currents Of the
ocean and the air, which will be OF
great help to weather ~forecasters. The
Fran will be equipped practically as
she was for the trip to the south pole.
ION that trip we carried 120 dogs at
the start, but we ate some and fed
some OF the others to the remaining
dogs. We got them In Greenland and
carried them to the south pole. We
took them back to Australia, and now
thirty Of them have gone back into
the antarctic circle again with the
Australian expedition. Dog meat is
fairly good. 1t Is n little tough, but
at that 1t is better than lots of steaks
you get right here In New York.
There was one peculiar thing about
the trip to the south pole. After we
crossed the great Ice barrier there was
no sign of animal life. Just before
reaching the barrier we saw great
schools of whales-thousands of them
in a single school-but the other side
Of the barrier absolutely nothing. not
even a gull. We built little piles OF
snow every three miles and In them
put a piece Of paper telling the exact
longitude and latitude of the pile.
There are at this time leading from
the barrier direct to the pole these
piles Of snow. We cut out about 5000
pieces of snow crust to build them

Pennsylvania with two victories, de-
feat and a draw, scored 10 points while
Brown, with only draw, brought UP the
rear.
AS the conditions under which this
tourney Is being played are entirely new,
there being a total of twelve contestants,
IL was necessary to hold preliminary
meeting. 1t was decided to have the play
ers at the third and fourth boards play
together In a round robin tourney in the
same manner in which the first and sec
ond boards class have counted in former
years.
After four rounds the totals made by
each college to both classes to determine

IRISH GENTLEMAN WINS.
Captures Feature Race at Juarez
from Bicoravi by Small Margin.


Juarez. Dec. 3O-Ladies' day brought
out big delegation of the fair sex this
afternoon and an excellent card furnished
good sport In a majority of the races
the finishes were close and exciting.
The Bicoravi handicap furnished the
closest finish of the day when Irish Gen
tleman was awarded the decision over
Sosius by the shortest of margins. Zim,
the favorite, showed no speed whatever
and got no part of the purse. The race
proved to be a two-horse affair between
Sosius and Irish Gentleman. Both horses
raced out in front, head and head, all the
way and only in the last jump did Irish
Gentleman manage to poke his head in
front.
Thomas Hare, a twenty to one, furnish
ed a big surprise when he nosed out La
Estrella in the opening race. Rose Of
Jeddah, the favorite in the third,
was outrun all the way. Curlicue, show
ing sudden improvement over his former
start, took, the race from Clinton in a
sharp drive.
The stewards took cognizance of the
the improvement and ordered that the
horses further entry be refused. To
further add to the troubles of his owner
Curlicue was boosted 500 over his en-
tered selling purse. Jockeys -Dreyer and
