rear of merely wounding one of them, in which case she knew that they would probably kill her. She fired over their heads and they scrambled out of sight. Another time, in the spring after the seals had come out upon the ice. she crawled for rods very patiently and carefully up to where seal was stunning itself Then, using a little wooden rest she had made for her gun barrel, she took careful aim and fired The bull let found its mark and the seal died without culver. But seals always lie very near their breathing holes or near the edge of the ice, and, even though dead, they frequently slide into the water before the hunter can reach them. Ada therefore, imme- diately after she fired had thrown aside her rifle and had raced as fast IS she could over the uneven surface of the ice towards the seal which was even then beginning to slip to- wards the floe's edge
 As she grasped the seal by it's flip pers, she sensed a presence near her and Glancing back over her shoulder saw great polar bear which had evidently been stalking her as as she stalked the seal Dropping her hope of immediately fresh meat, Ada raced for her tent. But the bear was too busy eating up the seal which she had killed to pay any attention to her But often in the morning she would see the huge tracks of polar bears that had come up to her tent to sniff around during the night.
 This adventure made Ada some what timid about venturing very far from camp afterwards. When we res- cued her she was working upon net with which she hoped to catch seals She had also made a small canvas boat, scarcely larger than herself, with which to paddle out to ducks that she shot in the nearby waters
 When we arrived she had but 12 pounds of mouldy pilot bread which she was saving for next winter, when she knew she would not be able to do much hunting.
 The world has 8 curious habit of looking upon the Eskimos as a race inured by nature to all sorts of hard ship and capable of sustaining hun ger indefinitely. But after living among them for six years, can truth 1ully say they are as human as any one else. They feel the cold as do we. Their bodies require as much nourishment as do ours, and perhaps mores so than we do. They value com panionship. So I greatly fear that this tale of stoic heroism and lonely fortitude, which in all human annals has certainly been rarely surpassed will fail any great appreciation. for girl

Is in good health, too old tt' marry?
 "OLD BACHELOR" Answer: Not if he will marry In his own age class. Flappers are not for him. But any nice widow or spinster past 45 Is suitable. As people grow older they need companionship more than they did when they were young, and they are wise to marry If they can find a congenial companion.
