Sure He Can Live OIL Ice.
In case l do not sight land on the
flight from Point Barrow to the ice
pole l will keep on across the mathe-
matical Pole-that discovered bv
Ieary-and proceed to Spitzbergen. 1t
is my belief that in good weather our
okKer plane VIII travel upward of
$500 miles without refueling. In case
we strike formidable head winds which
exhaust our fuel supply after crossing
the mathematical Pole we shall land
on the ice, and later get to Spitzbergen
the best way we can. The observa-
tions of many explorers make me feel
certain that we shall drift toward
SpitzberGen. Favorable winds may
come within a few days: they may not
come for a year. What matters? We
can live on the ice indefinitely"
Capt. Wilkins statements show that
in the event of any sort of a forced
landing he will endeavor to cope with
the Arctic with little more equipment
than a rifle, navigation instruments
and primus stove. He has practiced
three methods of killing seals on the

 Raggedy Andy was carrying the baking powder in two paper sacks and it was very lucky he did not break either of the sacks when he fell from the back of the bicycle, for he had hardly got to his feet before Miggsy and Muggsy ran out of the bushes with ropes.

 As the door softly closed behind her, Jake Stevens eyes opened slowly and followed her. They were dark with pain, those blue eyes, heavy with weakness, too; but there was a spark that glowed deep in their depths which hinted that per- haps her lips had but hastened the finging open of the letters of sleep that prisoned the soul.
 There came at last the day when Jake Stevens reported himself able to stand watch. That was the day that the ship was found to be with in five hundred miles of Java Head. | The very first result of Jake's ap- pearance sent a thrill of relief around the ship, even among that part of the crew who week ago would readily have sworn away Joe Bunting's life.

 "Ob, yes, Gramma Bear" Rag gedy Ann replied, And the honey cookies you made were ever so nice too"
 Well if Grampa Bear will run down to the grocery and get some baking powder, I will make some nice fluffy biscuits." Gramma Bear said.
 I'll get upon my bicycle and ride right down to the grocery, Gramma" Grampa Bear said. Tt will only take me ten minutes, And Raggedy Andy can ride upon the back of my bicycle if he would like to go."
