that ever graced the minuet with
George Washington or any other hero
of hygone days. AS the man before
her had done she tried to see herself
by dnt of twisting, but unlike him she
was not satisfied with the result.
In far corner stood a mirror,
which he had overlooked; and to this
friend of all women she directed her
steps unhesltatingly.
'Trust a girl to find a mirror"
thought the concealed watcher.
Up and down the floor she pirOu-
cited At last she fell into some steps
of the mnuet, curtsying to an imag-
mary partner; and then, with great
suddenness, she sat down on a trunk
and burst into tears.
This was more than the man behind
the trunk could bear. With great
caution he stepped out and when he
had reached the middle of the floor
he coughed. She looked up with
faint shrek, and he swept bow that
was masterpiece.
you will pardon me, madame" he
said in strained voice. 'But have
never been able to look on the tears
of a beautiful woman without at
once flying to the rescue. Is there
aught | can dor
"Why = why - Harry Fahnestock!
How you scared me-"
81 cry your pardon. but | wot not
of this Harry Fahnestock. / am the
-the-who the deuce am II Oh, yes
the Marquis de Lafayette, at your
service"
little smile made itself visible at
the corners Of the girls mouth.
81 thank you, Monsieur de Lafay-
cite" she replied, rising and execut-
ing a curtsy. 81 am Martha Wash
ington."
Delighted, I'm sure. l wonder II
that was what those old Johnnies said
when they met lady?"
I'm sure l don't know-Monsieur.'
"Er-ahem-would you-I mean
wouldst care to trip the mazes of the
minuet with the humblest of your
suitors?"
"Why, yes-if you think you can"
She rose and extended her hand.
He hummed the beautiful minuet of
Paderewski and up and down the
floor of the garret they went in the
movements of that most graceful Of
all dances. At last she approached
him and bowed low; he also bowed,
but as she rose to her feet she found
herself caught In his arms and felt
warm kisses on her lips.
"Monsieur-I mean Harry-let me
go"
"Martha-I mean Phyllis dearest
! won't till I've had chance to tell
you what an awful ass I've been and
to ask you to forgive me-"
She turned her head away. Then
slowly she looked at him.
Monsieur de Lafayette. you are for
given But don't do it again"
Il promise-Martha Washington.
Don't turn your head away this time"
There was silence In the ghostly
garnet.

Pe-hans the North Pole controversy
NAV be reopened again, as a part of 1T, at
least. appears to have been in cold stor-
aoe since Dr. Cook made what many peo
ple think was a fake dash for that point
on the earth's surface The reason Tor
the re-opening is that Kenneth NJ. Clark,
a Harvard man, who is winterlng IN the
Arctic end of North America, has found
an old note book and piece of seXtant in
the possession of an Eskimo. which ap-
parently belonged to the dIscredlted dis
coverer. This northern hobo claimed to
have been a member of the Cook expedl-
tIon and when they turned Dack plckeu
up everything belonging to the whlte
man. On the fly-leaf of this book is DR..
Cooks name and it contains notes OF Ia
titude and longitude, weather and ice Hoe
conditions. A part of the book is so worn
| that it is impossible to decipher 1t, but
there are notes quite legible up to latitude
80 Evidences of both Cooks and
Peary's expeditions are unsatisfactory.
The latter's vehement denunclatlon OF
the former led to an investigation OF his
records by Congress, which were found
unsatisfactory with a doubt of his reach
ing the pole, which led that bod, to mod
ify the wording of the resolve, givine
the medal, not for discovery OF the North
Pole, but for exploration leading to dis
covery, also many of the so called DIS
coveries made by the admiral have been
stricken from naval maps, because they
have not been verified by later travellers.
