Some Species of Antarctic Birds.

again and enjoy it. 1t seems to pos
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. a large as shillings, rejecting
ell the colors of the spectrum. They
lie tipped at every possible angle
catching every sunbeam and splitting
up its prismatic hues.
"As one plods along toward the
midnight sun" says Shackleton
ones eyes naturally fall on the plain
ahead, and one realizes that the sim
lie of a gem-strewn carpet could
never be more aptly' employed than
in describing the radiant path of the
sun on the snowy surface
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
company of grave hurghers in holi-
day dress.
Every explorer who has seen the
twin volcanoes of Erebus and Terror
is impressed by their majestic and
wonderful appearance, towering ur
out Of the ice world around them
while puffs of black smoke and pill
lars of white steam seem to proclaim
that the ancient continent beneath is
yet alive, and full Of its primeval en-
ergies.

A Hard Fight.

i KNOW closing the drawer weari-
"; yet can't help but feel that it's
somewhere about this bureau"
For one fleeing moment a doubt OF
Maggie flashed through her mind. She
might have found It and not told her.
But quickly she put this thought aside
as unjust For whatever Maggie's
faults, she was scrupulOusly honest
You'd better lie down, ma am" ad-
vised Maggie at length, "or you'll be
sick. If it's here, Wen come across it.
But you won't find it the way you're
looking now" for Helen was feverishly
going back again over the same ground.
By the time Warren came Helen was
almost hysterical. She felt she could not
kept It 10 herself any longer If only
she had told him the truth yesterday
instead of saying she had left the ring
at the jewelers..
Now he would be furious at her de-
ception! Mono, she COULD not con-
fess that-and the loss of the ring, too
There was stfII 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
We'll by guns What's come over

u didn't take it to Blackford's! It's
it's LOST
The silence of the next few moments
was broken only by HeIen's sobs. She
dared not look up.
80 that's it," he finally rasped.
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 I didn't want to worry
you"
Huh with a sneer. you lied be-
cause you're always lying. You dom
know how to tell the truth"
"Oh. but the ring, Warren, my en-
gaEemenJ ring Cdn you see now
MUCH it means? l didn't want to ad-
nit even to myself that it was lost. Oh,

Your lost ring may be a devilish good

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
nent is now known to be a far great
er mass of land than anyone could
have anticipated. o. 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 it has passed through
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
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
the deck, as at a natural wharf.
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
a dark shadow is seen in the side
Of the wall When this is near 1t re
solves itself into a stupendous cav
ern in the ice face, filled 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 Nimrod, might have
been steered directly into it without
touching its roof OF its sides with
masts or yards.
The meteorological peculiarlties Of
! the region are unique The explorers
are unanimous in declaring that the
air Is so pure and invigorating that
after a single visit all are eager to go

Helen Loses Her Engagement Ring and Is Afraid
to Tell Warren the Truth
By MABEL HERBERT URNER.

/ tomorrow! The mere thought of tell
ing him made her sick with dread
In spite of Helens effort to appear as
usual. Warren saw at once that some
thing was wrong
What's the matter with you?" 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 anguished over
the ring. In the morning she had one Of
her sick headaches, which nervous wor-
~ and lack of sleep always brought on.
More Lies.
You're not at funeral. you know, d"
was Warren's caustic comment. as he
buttered his third piece Of toast
"Oh, I know" with a forced laugh ;
ITS this weather, l suppose. I'll be all
right by vening"
As Helen poured his second cup Of
coffee, he suddenly noticed her hand.
Whats the matter?' sharply. Where's
your ring?"
"Oh. the stone was a little loose-one
of the prongs was worn, and l 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 met Where
did you take 1t 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
futile, helpless way.
There amt no use loollin' in there
again, ma'am," said Maggie, as for the
dozenth time Helen went through her
