they yawned, such big turtle yawns
"No more sleeping now" said Mrs.
Turtle. "You may take maps later on,
but your winters sleep is all over. It's
spring and we must be awake. We
must see all that is going on in the big
out what my neighbors are picking

evening gowns. Mr.. Turtle prom

"I did indeed" said Mr.. Turtle. "But
I'll have to wait before I can get it. L
have my order in but the leaves aren't
out yet. It's too early. You'll have
it though just as soon as they arrive
in the turtle shops"
Mrs. Turtle looked very happy. She
had always longed for a green leaf
coat to wear over her shell suit. In
the evening she called it a shell even
ing dress.
Hurry" said Mrs. Turtle again TO
the little turtles. And soon they were
all out Of their winter beds of mud and
were looking about the pond for the
incest kinds Of homes.
"What do you think Of this?" ask
ed Mrs. Turtle. She was much pleas

pond in excellent season. Very few
of the summer cottages had been TAX

"It is a very fine looking home"
said Mr.. Turtle. "Let's see how we
can fix our porches. We must have

mo more could T." agreed Mrs.
Turtle.
"We like plenty of porches," agreed
the little turtles.
"Ah," said Mr.. Turtle, twisting his
head far out of his shell, otis SO nice
that we all like the same things. 1t
makes us get along so well. We all
like pOrches. We like to sit upon them
In the warm sunshine. We enjoy a
quiet nap on one of three pOrches, but
we always like to choose between
three"
"Yes," said Mrs. Turtle, "it would
be such a pity if we only had one
porch. Just imagine how hard 1t would
be to think, oh dear, which porch
shall l take my nap onF' and then re-
member that there was only n porch
anyway"
Now the turtles have three logs out
side their homes which they cal
porches. Sometimes they are Of logs
and sometimes of funny, ugly snags
which the turtles think are quite beau
tiful.
"It's going to rain" said Mr.. Turtle
after they had all decided upon theil

over ones poverty. that is one thing.
But there was more 10 1t. Peter made
his money go amazingly far. It was
Peter. for instance, who the summer
before, the American Scenic Railway
had opened to the public, with much
crossing of flags, the national emblem
and the stars and stripes, it was Peter
who had invited the lady to an eve

at definite sum per thrill.
1t was Peter, then, who made the
impossible possible, who wore good
clothes and did not have his boots
patched, who went, rumor said, to the
opera now and then. and followed the
score on his own battered copy.
How?
Herman Spier had suspected him of
many things; had secretly audited his
cash slips; had watched him for SUR
reptitious parcels of silk, Once he lad
thought he had him. But the package
of Lyons silk, opened by the pro-
prietor at Herman's suggestion, proved
to be material for a fancy waistcoat,
and paid for by Peter Niburg's own
hand.
With what? Herman stood con-
fused, even COMPOUNDED. but still
suspicious. And now, this very day,
he had stumbled on something. A
great lady from the court had made a
purchase. and had left under a roll
of silk, letter. There was no mis-.
take. And Peter Niburg had put
away the silk, and pocketed the letter
after a swift glance over the little

people side by side with the heavy
linens that furnished forth the tables
of the rich. But hatred gave him wits.
Gave him speed. too. He was only

that foppish gentleman reached the

Herman was skilled in certain mat

All That Is Left of the Early Venture Are a Few Crum- bling Telegraph
 Poles.
COST SEVERAL LIVES
The Surveys Were Made Across An UnexpIored and TrackIess Wider
 ness in Alaska.

WHITEHORSE Y. T., Nov 'O-- Here and there along the basin to the Yukon river are a few crumblinS poles, believed to be about the only remaining crumbling visible remnants of a great futile project launched by the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, over half a century ago to connect New York and London with tele- graph line across Alaska, the Bering Straits and Siberia.
 When the project was launched in 1863 the first of the Atlantic cables had been laid but had not proved much of a success Before the tele- graph enterprise got well under way, however another cable had been laid across the ocean and had worked satisfactorily. So the telegraph line plan was dropped after, it has been said, it cost about $3,000,0o0 and several lives and much time had been wasted upon it.
 Thousands of miles of the route selected for the telegraph line lay through country which at that time was wholly unexplored It was planned to build the line north from San Francisco, across British Colum- bia and down the Yukon river basin of Alaska to point on the Bering Straits. Here it was to cross on buoys or anchored boats and connect with line to be built eastward from Petrograd then St. Petersburg, by the Russian government.
 The task got but a little way be yond the surveying and experimental stage. Climatic conditions were studied, experimental lines were built in Alaska and Siberia and sur veys made on both continents. It has been said that the trans Siberian railroad, when it was built later fol lowed many 6f the survey lines set out by the American telegraph corps.
 Members of the survey parties sent north suffered many hardships. One of the leaders, Robert Kennicott, head of the scientific corps, died at Nulato, Alaska, from exposure. An other member, George Kennan, who made many surveys for the line in Siberia. later became well known as T traveller and lecturer, William D. Hall, who succeeded Kennicott as head of the corps, wrote book of his finding Lake Lebarge, a widen ing of the Yukon river between here and Dawson, was named after Mich

ael Lebarke, a member of the expe dition.
 Although the telegraph survey par ties did not accomplish what they set out to do, they did, by their findings, add much to the knowledge the out side world then had of Alaska. One point they definitely settled was that the Yukon river, as described by the trappers of the HIudson's Bay Com many was the same river that the Russians spoke of as the Kwipak.
