A GREAT crowd had gathered to
IA witness the take-off of the
giant Zeppelin which waited the
signal to leave her hangar and start
on the long heralded expedition to
the South Pole.
The noise of cheering thousands,
the purr and honk of automobiles
the music of the band and the
whirr of planes overhead conspired
to make of the flying field a bedlam
Of enthusiastic sound.
Marines held the throng in check
as thousands craned their necks and
encroached a little more as each
newly arrived member of the ex-
petition was announced.
The American flag was every
where in evidence, and more color
was lent to the occasion by the
tasteful display of feminine cos
tunes. It was a glorious summer
morning, and the good-natured
crowd was enlivened by the most
trivial incident which appealed to
the riSibleS, while it patiently
awaited the coming Of Commander
Hall.
OF course his beautiful and much
pictured wife would be with him.
The knights Of the camera were
waiting for that moment, and so
were thousands of women, to say
nothing of the curious men.
Lieutenant Tom Armstrong had
received an ovation when he ar
rived, but he had walked through
the lines, his cap raised, but look
ing neither to the right nor the left,
as if he were walking up the gang
plank of his own ship under orders
to sail. The women liked him,
though, for'all his aloofness, and the
men cheered him because he looked
like a regular fellow and real man.
A cheer that shook the earth an
nounced the arrival of Donald Hall
and his wife. AS their car motored
to the rOped Enclosure, the dead line
for the crowds, flowers were dropped
down upon them from the soaring
planes, and others were showered
on them by myriads of women and
girls, while hats and handkerchiefs
waved, a forest Of linen and felt.
Miriam had a dim recollection of
it all afterword, but her heart was
too full of more intimate longings
at the moment. Her smiles were
mechanical, but her eyes we're alert
searching for Tom.
Her appearance was natural
enough to the thousands that
glimpsed her who couldn't guess the
torture that was racking her soul.
A lane was opened for the Hall car,
and those nearest to it were re-
warded by a smile at last which
came from the heart. Miriam had
seen Tom.
He was standing by the ship about
which were 400 workmen ready to
give her her initial start. He had
seen her the moment her car came
within view. He had been waiting,
waiting for one more sight of her,
