Ny dearest: Was it only yesterday
We decided We must part forever
that We could not build our happiness
on the wreck of another's, and so said
good-by? 1t seemed then, but for the
beating Of my sad heart, that the
whole world grew still. The stars
twinkled out, one by one. Yearningly.
j held out my empty arms, and called
you. There was no response. There
never can be; for you will keep the
pact, as 1 pray for strength to do.
Today is but the harbinger Of count
less days to come. Do you think this
dull ache at my heart will ever cease {?
Will the hour ever come when in
fancy 1 will not see your deg face
or hear the tones of your dear voice,
rs when last you told me OF your
love?
Let us believe thas some time. some
how. some place measure of content.
ment will come as compensation for
our great sacrifice. Always, dear, my
heart will be yours. My last con
scious thought will be of you. And
when the end of the road is seen. your
,sh;spered name will be on my lips.
| love you. CONSTANCE.

There is no reason for this, with the

First and second pen places remain

pen change was in third place, pen

place over pen 26 and leading this

The change in places between pens

broodiness, two birds in pen 26 up-
setting the scoring by refusing to
lay because Of a natural inclination
to reproductive effort. Pen 26 pro-
duced only 16 eggs against 81 laid
by pen 27.

er, Phebe E. Hall, who died March
10, 1923.
One year has passed since that sad
day,
That dear mother you were called a.
And left us children in this world to
roam,
Without a mother, father or home.
When l went to see you mother,
And you said: "Dear am going
home,"
How nv heart was filled with sorrow,
Oh! my thoughts, God only knows.
Was she ready? Yes, ready and wait
For she followed her Saviour COM
plete,
Mothers guide was the dear old Bible
And no other book half so sweet.
Farewell, dear mother thou art at
rest,
And shall forever be,
You cannot come to your child,
But I expect to go to thee.
Readers, have you parents? Love
them well
While here on earth, they do dwell,
And when they're gone and you've
done your part,
That will be a comfort to thy broker
heart.

suddenly flashed the idea through

the south pole. In the deepest secrecy

The expedition left Norway in
August, 1910. only two persons be-
sides me knew that we were going
TO the south. How this expedition
was accomplished will be dealt with
back in 1912 l had money enough to
start for the north pole. but from
now on luck seemed to- have turned
all around. The original plan was to
have sailed around the American con-
tinent and enter the Arctic Basin
from Bering Strait, but the one de-
lay after the other forced me to take
the ship home to Norway again and
from there force our way into the
basin.

but we got out of it comparatively
easy. When the war had lasted for a
couple of months I understood that
there would be good business in ship
ping. I. therefore, took all my money
from the south pole and placed it in
ships. In 1916, after having made
about 200 per cent. | took my money
out of shipping again and started to
build a new vessel for my north pole
