who apparently couldn't re-

Nancy who certainly was
making no effort to remind
him. She did not even notice
that they had not come in
from the porch with the
others, and were out some
where in the darkness now.
But two others noticed it
Louise and her last dane
ing partner, Matthew Tully.
"Let's get outside and get
some air." Louise suggested,
a little timidly. As "the
plain" Hollenbeck girl, she
was always a little self
conscious with men, always
afraid they were anxious to
get rid of her, and get back
to a livelier, prettier part
ner. Still, it would look
queer, going ont alone to
look for Nancy. With an
escort it would look so much
more natural, so much more
careless . .
"Fine!" Mat downed the
last of his cocktail, and took
her by. the arm. ';Let's go

had seen a pale, fluttering

moments ago, down the river

sinking on a stone a few

gasp for breath.

he pulled her down beside

So they sat there, side by

river swirling swiftly down
below them, and the star
flecked sky glimmering
darkly overhead. And some
times the sound Of the dane

once the tinkle of far

one calling "Nancy

They both stirred at that.

Danish Fund Sought
For Rusted Statue

For many months the Danes have
been mystified by the strange antics
Of the bronze horse which rises above
Kongens Nytorb In the heart of Copen-
hagen bearing the figure of King Chris
tian VI. Gradually but perceptibly the
big beast has been sinking toward the
ground, carrying with it the armor-clad
figure astride 1t, and many theories
have been advanced to explain the
phenomenon.
The mystery was dispelled recently

many decades. streamed out. Further
investigation showed that the water had
rusted the bronze Of the two figures In
the group and that they were both in
need of repair.
Several newspapers are conducting a
campaign to raise funds for the neceS-
sary work and the department of the
interior is being urged to take imme-
diate action. The statue Is one Of the
most famous of all those scattered
through the parks and market places OF
the Danish capital.

The total tonnage of vessels laid
down or appropriated for since Febru-
airy, 1922, when the Washington Con-
ference met, discloses the fact that
while the United States has laid down
10 ships of a tonnage of 156,990, in
the British Empire 10 vessels, aggregat-
ing 393,274 tons, have been provided
for; in Japan, 1877 vessels of 415,252
tons have been started on the ways; in
France, 100 vessels of 290,639 tons, and
in Italy SO vessels of 181, 078 tons.
What is the cruiser situation reveal
ed by these figures? In the United
States, eight of the vessels are cruisers,
with a total tonnage of 10000 tons: in
the British Empire, II are cruisers with
tonnage aggregating 1853 200; in Japan
16 are cruisers of 128,285; in France
9 are cruisers of 5000 tons, and in
italy 8 are cruisers of 10000 tons.

Hubert and his associates accomplished
the first and thereby solved the greatest
problem that has confronted scientists
and geographers in the Antarctic. Gra-
ham Land is pictured on the map as
part of the Antarctic Continent.
Flying 1900 miles over land never
before seen by human eyes In
company with Pilot Ben Eielson on
December 20, wilkins discovered that
Graham Land consists of two main
islands and that the southernmost is
separated from the Antarctic Continent
by body Of water 40 to so miles wide,
lying between the SEVENTEEN and
sevenyt-firSt parallels south. Capt
wilkins established what he believes to
be the true edge of the Antarctic Con-
tinent on approximately the SEVENTEEN
parallel south.
Sir Hubert confirms the reputation
won by his magnificent Arctic fight,

nounced the greatest Of all flights.
