Justice to Wilkes.

Detraction for long time obscured
the merits OF Rear Admiral Wilkes.
u. s. N. the Antarctic explorer OF
1910. He was charged with imagining
a good deal OF what he saw, mapping
the coast line inaccurately, and with
discovering continent where none
existed. But every honest explorer
who has followed In the tracks of
Wilkes has borne testimony to ethe
value of his pioneer work.
Now comes the heroic Sir Douglas
Mawson, the Australian explorer, with
new tribute to the American. With
some exceptions, possibly due to the
effect of mirage. Wilkes, he says,
mapped the Antarctic coast line cor
rectly. Posterity is coming round to
the view that the American sailor. In
spite of his meager resources, was one
OF the greatest explorers that ever
penetrated the Antarctic circle.

Since he felt more or less anxious to

settled, Jimmy went to the address
mentioned in the advertisement.
AS he climbed the stairs in n Bohe-

ten to the voice that penetrated into
the halls from one of the rooms. II
was a voice rich in timbre and one
that set Jimmy's musicloying heart to
beating excitedly. He hardly breathed
while the girl finished her song and
not until he felt that she was not GO
ing to sing again did he continue his
search for the number he wanted.
Madge answered the door and
Jimmy's lately excited heart jumped
suddenly into action again. Nelly was
a person of the past and dim ages
when he beheld Madge. At least, in
the unexpected meeting he forgot
Nelly.

told Madge and held out the advertise

"Oh. | am so gladl Do come in"
She opened the door and Jimmy
stepped into the poor little room that
Madge called home. He fell to wonder

her in connection with the ring she
wanted to dispose of.

him. Her story was simple and she

Jimmy in complete possession of her
true character. That her charm of
manner. together with her wonderful
voice. would place her in an exalted
position of fame was a self-evident
fact. He sighed and POWDERED on the
possibility OF a great singer becoming
interested in a mere business man.
He thought the chances we're few.
However, the glance Madge turned
full upon him was not altogether
without some expression that made
Jimmy hope

he said. do you think | might come

disappointment.
"Oh, yes" Jimmy said, Il want to
make the exchange all right, but | am
not sure what will do with the ring"
He looked rather anxiously into
Madge's eyes and again Madge
laughed. Il might in turn exchange II
for couple OF nice big chairs
"A coupler" he questioned Madge.
you should get at least four for that
ring"
Anything you say" be laughed
back at her. and turned serious eyes
upon her. you are going to let me

Madge hesitated but a second, then
realizing what the outcome of the
meeting was going to be. said quickly.
Yes, as often as you like"
Jimmy smiled happily and In his
heart thanked Robinson for disliking
public singing, and later when she was
Jimmy's wife Madge too thanked him.
for she might never have met Jimmy
had Robinson loved music.
