Jimmy Brice swung the big road
car into the winding drive, took the
harp curve by the house on two
wheels and brought up at the steps
with an abruptness that all but sent
him headlong through the wlud
shield.
On the wide veranda Colonel
Thornton was pacing agitatedly to
and fro, his lips set tight and hla
keen old eyes flashing fire.
"It's come at last, Just as I expect
ed," he raved as the car came to its
spertacular stop. "Mabel has gone

I swear I would. As it is you'll have j
to take Nell. She'll know what to do.
Ho, Noli: Nell!" he called suddenly
through the open front door. "Here's
Jimmy In the racer. Hurry up! You
haven't a Minute to lose!"
Light footsteps pattered on the
stairs. On the veranda came Nell
Thornton.
"They've gono across the State
line to Northville, of course," the col
onel declared. "You can get them if
you hurry. Let out that car, Jimmy.
Don't let 'em make it ah"ad ot you."
Jimmy opened up the car and
down the drive they went at a reck
less pace, swung into the rosJ and
went whirling toward Northville,
leaving In their wake a cloud of dust
that rose even above the tree tops.
Once they reached a straight stretch
of road Brice loaned toward the girl
beside him.
"We'll overtake 'em If thev have
not too much of a start," he declared.
"How long have they been !or.?"
"Half pa hour," she answered.
"Then we've got 'em," said he, en
couragingly, "of course, we've got
to head this thing off."
"Of course," she agreed, Dut some
how Jimmy was impressed with the
idea that she was not over enthusias
tic about it.
"I almost wish we could let 'era
go," said he. "She's desperately in
love with him, and Nixon isn't a half
bad chap."
"That's impossible," said she.
She's nothing but a child. I almost
think if she had been firm with papa
he would have consented, but to try
to take the matter in her own bands
this way has sent him into a frightful
rage."
They reached a fork in the road.
One branch led to Northville, the
other to Standish.
Jimmy swung the car into the left
band branch of the road and gave it
full speed again.
"What are you going to do when
you catch up with them?" he asked.
"I shall be very firm, and you must
back me up. "
"All right," he agreed cheerfully.
"Of course I will, but honestly, NelL
I hate like fury to butt in."
"You're not going to desert me at
the critical moment, are you?", she
questioned, anxiously.
"Sure I'm not. Watch me," he
laughed.
The soft May dusk was coming on.
They shot past houses in which the
lights wera already beginning to
twinkle.
"Seems to me we ought to be get
ting a squint at them pretty soon,"
said he.
"There's a car ahead," she cried
uddenly. "Hurry oh. hurry!"
The road cat seemed fairly to lift
Itself from the ground. They sped
up to the car ahead, hut Its occu
pants were a middle-aged couple who
looked up In mild reproof as they
tore past. Jimmy Brice laughed.
"Foiled again!" he mocked. "I be
lieve they're going to mako it, after
all."
"TheymuBtn't they mustn't," said
the girl. "Can't we go any faster?"
Jimmy shook his head. "This Is
fcer best speed," he declared.
Now they had reached the out
skirts of Northville. With honking
horn and undiminished speed they
tore along the elm-lined streets.
"They've got here ahead of us, all
right," said Jimmy. "Our only hope
Is to Interrupt the ceremony before
It's too late, Where'U they go. Have
you any idea?"
"The parsonage of the trick
Church," the . girl explained. "That
Is where all such couples head for, I
believe."
They turned a corner. Just ahead
was a little church, nestling beneath
giant elms, and beside the church was
a snug little parsonage.
The car cume to a stop. Jimmy
and the girl both leaped out and ran
up the path to belabor the polished
brass knocker on the front door. An
elderly woman in cap and apron an
swered their Btrident summons, and
smiled upon them knowingly.
"Step right into the parlor, if you
please," she invited.
"Has a couple been hero recently
little girl, blond, and man, tall and
dark?" Jimmy anslced pantlngly.
"Ye9, they're in the study now,"
said the woman.
Without a word of explanation
Jimmy pushed past her, and with the
girl following after, he strode into a
room where a pleasant faced clergy
man was reading the marriage serv
ice sonorously. Jimmy took a step
forward, stopped, chuckled and
turned to Nell beside him. The cou
ple was not the one they sought.
Then even as they stood there In
embarrassed silence they heard the
couple pronounced man and wife.
"And now, my young friends," said
the clergyman tentatively, advancing
in their direction.
"Have you married any other cou
ple to-day?" Nell gasped.
The clergyman shook his head.
"Of course, you haven't your li
censes," he said to Jimmy. "Fortu
nately the clerk of the town lives
next door, and if you will kindly give
me the necessary information I'll see
about them for you."
Jimmy began to chuckle. He was
about to explain to the clergyman his
mistake when suddenly he squared
his shoulders, looked quickly at Nell
and then faced his interlocutor reso
lutely. And nlmost before the girl
was aware of what wns happening
Jimmy had given the requested infor
mation, and the clergyman had
tripped out to secure the licenses next
door.
"Jimmy," she gasped as the door
closed behind the retiring parson.
"Jimmy! for goodness sake!"
Jimmy Brice took her hand In his
own. "Nell, dear, I've waited so long,
and we've missed Mabel and Nixon,
anyway, and this is such a bully cler
gyman a real gentleman of the old
school "
"It you will be good enough to
stand before me here," said the cler
gyman when be came back.
"Come!" said Jimmy gently, and
the girl arose.
Stars were twinkling drowsily in a
cloudless sky when they once more
turned into the winding drive and
found the colonel still pacing the ver
anda. "What do you think?" he bellowed
as they drew up to the steps. "They
didn't go to Northville. They took
the 6.26 train for the city, and were
married there. Had the impudence to
send me a telegram. Niton did, ask
ing my forgiveness, mind you eon
fourd his impertinence! So you've
had your trip for nothing!"
"Have we?" said Jimmy, helping
the blushing Nell from the car. "Oh,
I'm not so sure of that, colonel. Step
into the library with me, if you will.
I've something important to tell you.
Matrimony seems to have struck this
family to-day in a veritable epi

MEANING OF THE GKKKN HOUGH.
It Is rinccd on New Houses Thnt Bad
Spirits May Roost in It.
The custom of placing a green
bough on the roof of a newly built
house is not confined to Germanv.
but was adopted by the French Can
adians, wno brought it with them
from Brittany.
The custom originated from th on.
perstition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is Inhabited by a spirit.
Consequently it was believed that
every time a tree was felled another
spirit was dispossessed, and this wa
supposed to cause some bitterness on
his part against society.
Rather than risk having these
homeless and disgruntled snirita vent
their ill feeling upon the houses un
der construction or upon the builders,
says Van Noiden's Magazine, a
branch was planted on the hlehest
part of the house for their occupancy.
They were then supposed to be molli
fied, and If they remained so until
the roof was put on any evil design
contemplated would prove harmless,
for the spell would be broken.
Power by Water.
The great silver mining district ot
Cobalt has been turning its attention
to generation of power by water on
account of the high cost ot power,
due to the distance which fuel has to
be conveyed. The average cost of
power hitherto has been I1T5 per
horse power year, some mlaes evea
paying as much as $408. A grant ot
land has been made at the head ot
Lake Temlskamlng oa the Matakiche
wan River, about twenty-five mile
from Cobalt, where there Is a large
water power available, and a big hy-dro-electrlo
power plant Is being
erected. The current will be con
eyed to the mines, And either elec
tricity for other power purposes or
compressed air front electrically
driven compressors will be sola to
consumers. Scientific; American.

Mapping Greenland.
I I I I I I t X I t (! -
The completed map of Greenland,
tho lnrse3t lsijml in the world, has
at last been published in Peterman's
Milteilunscn. It was left till this Into
day to learn the exact shape of this
land mass.
Dr. Mylius-Erlchsen explored tho
unknown northeast coast last year
and we now have the map ot his sur
veys. The map was made at the cost
of the lives ot the explorer and his
two comrades, who perished after
their work was done, while on their
way back to the ship. The completed
map of Greenland will be a monu
ment to their memory.
The trend of the northeast coast is
very different from what geographers
had supposed. It had been marked
on all previous maps as probably ex
tending from about seventy-eight de
grees north latitude In a general
northwesterly direction to the Inde
pendence Bay of Peary. In fact it ex
tends tor about 300 miles in a north
easterly direction till Its most eastern
point nearly touches twelve degrees
west longitude from Greenwich.
About forty years ago Dr. A. Peter
munn spread the view that Greenland
probably extended across the pole and
down the nthnr trine nf tha parth tn
tho neighborhood of Bering strait. '
With this idea in view he wrote the
Instructions for the second German
North Polar expedition under Captain
Koldevrey, who was sent out to com
plete if possible the mapping of the
east coast.
He succeeded la reaching by a
sledge journey only seventy-seven de
crees north, a little beyond Cape Bis
marck. We know now that more
than 1000 niilps of tortuous coa3t line
stretches between his highest north
and the northern shores of the island.
Then in 1905 the Duke of Orleans
on the sieatr yacht Belgica pushed
over 100 miles to the north of Cape
iiismarc'.c, but fog prevented him
from making a satisfactory survey of
the coast line. Meanwhile Dr. Mylitis
Krichsen formed the plan of making a
complete survey of the unknown
roast of Greenland from Cape Bis
marck north till he joined bis survey
with that ot Peary and thus com
pleted the map of the island.
He started on the steamer Den
mark from Copenhagen on June 25,
1906, picked up three Greenlanders
and a lot of Eskimo dogs that had
been sent to the Faroe Islands to meet
him, touched at Iceland, pushed for
fourteen days through the ice of the
Greenland Sea and reached Kolde
wey Island on August 13.
On the next day he had an easy
journey It. the ice-free coastal waters
to. Cape Bismarck, and in the inlet be
hind it he found a suitable place for
ihe winter quarters of his ship. The
little harbor was named Denmark
Haven. In the late summer he
sledged supplies northward to make
provision depots for the long journey
of the following spring, and he also
surveyed the coast both north and
south of tho winter camp as long as
daylight lasted.
On March 28 last year the great
sledge journey was begun. Mylius
K rich sen. Lieutenant Hagen and the
Greenlander Bronlund were to sur
vey every mile ot the coast until their
explorations joined those of Peary at
Independence Bay, Lieutenant Kocb,
tho artist Bertelsen and the Green
lander Gabrielsen were to push north
of Peary channel to complete the ex
ploration of the eastern edge of Peary
Land, which Peary had explored as
far south as Wyckoff Island.
Two detachments wont along for
weeks to carry food for the survey
parties. As it left the ship the expe
dition numbered ten men, ten sledges
and eighty-six dogs.
It is not the purposo here to de
scribe this wonderful Arctic Journey
In detail. It will suffice to summar
ize the work the explorers achieved
and to describe the unexpected geo
graphical conditions which cost the
lives ot the leader and two other men.
When the two supporting parties
turned back to the ship the two sur
vey detachments started north from
Amdrup Land with sit sledges and
provisions for a month. The coast
had been trending a little eastward,
but there seemed no doubt that the
parties could complete their work and
return to their most northern food
camp within thirty days. At any
rate they were loaded down with all
the food for men and dogs that they
could carry.
But Instead of following the coast

'Red" Drifted Into Town on the Tail nd of

A "Muskogee Red" story Is told
out of Lawrence. "Red" drifted into
that town once on tha tall end of a
bliriard, found a case in one of the
newspaper offices and went to work
as gay as a lark. About noon on Sat

"Sen that man sticking type

Expedition Which Cost
the Lives of Scientists
nlmost due northwest to Indepen
dence Bay, as Mylius-Erlchsen had
hoped to do, the trend of the coast
line suddenly turned him sharply to
the northeast, and days wera spent in
rounding the great peninsula before
him. When they reached the north
west point of Greenland and rounded
It to the west they felt sure that their
track would now be comparatively
straight to Independence Bay. But
they were mistaken, for they were
following up an Indentation extending
from the sea ninety miles inland, and
to make their map complete they
traced the fiord to its end and fol
lowed the other coast back to the sea
again. This 180 miles of unexpected
travel practically sealed the fate ot
the three men. They could not re
turn to their most northern supply
depot before the winter night came.
As Mylius-Erlchsen and his two
companions emerged from Denmark
fiord they met Lieutenant Koch and
his party, who had pushed directly
on to Peary Land across the sea Ice
and had not only connected their sur
veys with Peary's at Wychoff Island,
but had also resurveyed the coast as
far north as Captain Bridgman. Koch
and his men had done everything
they set out to do and returned to
the ship In safety.
Mylius-Erlchsen and his comrades
determined to risk everything to com
plete their survey of the mainland
coast. They thought that In two
days more they would probably reach
Independence Bay, but after a day's
march they were confronted with an
other time-killing fiord.
They named it Hagen fiord, and as
their map would not bo complete un
less they rurveyed the shores of this
new Indentation, they laboriously fol
lowed its coast and so lost more time.
At last, however, they joined their
surveys with those ot Peary. They
had completed the map of Greenland.
The precious survey sheets were put
In a bottle and thus were preserved.
Then they pushed south to Den
mark fiord again; they found that
the ice had moved out of it, and as
they had no boat they were compelled
to make the weary Journey around
Its coasts. They killed now and then
a musk ox, but for weeks and weeks
it was a constant battle with Ice and
hunger.
When they lacked all other food
dogs were killed to supply a meagre
ration for men and animals. On Oc
tober 19 the sun disappeared beneath
the horizon, and still they stumbled
southward In the semi-darkness.
They knew that they could not possi
bly reach the ship, but if they might
only reach their most northern food
depot in Amdrup Land perhaps they
could make snow huts and get
through the winter somehow.
But two of the men never reached
this goal. Ha sen died on November
15 and Mylius-Erlchsen ten days later
when only a few miles from the food
cache. Bronlund reached it In the
moonlight, and when the spring
searching party this year found his
body there it was evident that he had
lived for several days after his ar
rival. But his strength was too far
gone for recuperation.
With trembling hand he filled sev
eral pages in his notebook with a de.
scription of their wanderings and suf
ferings and told when his comrades
had died. It was impossible to dis
cover and bury their bodies, because
the new fallen snow was very deep.
The last honors were paid to Bron
lund and he and his companions now
lie on the. great island whose mapping
they completed.
It was wonderfully fortunate that
the bottle containing the survey
sheets was found slung around the
neck of Bronlund. Perhaps the great
result of this exploration would sever
have been known if it were not for
this fortunate circumstance. It Is
thought that Mylius-Erlchsen prob
ably did not Tenture to carry his
diaries and collections over the in
land Ice with him but left them In
some safe depository at Denmark
fiord, where they may ultimately be
recovered. Boston Herald.

The officer called on the editor the

BEAUTY.
For many years I had longed for
a pet, especially a puppy. On my last
birthday I was presented with a tiny
two-weeks-old dog. My delight knew
no bounds. After a long consultation
we named him Beauty, and a very ap
propriate name It was. We made
many futile attempts to feed him
from a saucer, but he puts his head
and feet into it, so we gave that up.
Finally we hit upon the plan of using
a baby bottle. My little pet became
so attached to It that he hated to part
with it. He soon began to try to hold
It with his little paws, but of course
they slipped from the smooth surface.
Beftuty had a dear little basket and
blankets all to himself. Every morn
ing and evening I washed him with
a sponge, and soon he came to like
this process. In the night I tucked
him snugly Into my room. He was
very restless and cften kept me
awake. He was also very particular
as to his meal hour and resented the
non-appearance of a bottle at 3 a. m.
by various squeals and funny little
barks. Now cornea the sad part of
my story. After staying up several
nights with my puppy, mother said
he was too much work and too young,
so I gave my poor little doggio away.

VENTRILOQUISM IN NATURE.
While pioneering In South Brazil,
Mr. Withers was struck by the low
and plaintive cry of some creature
calling in tho night. He was nt first
Impressed with the idea that it was
the cry of a child, but the tones soon
convinced him that this could not te
the case.
I had never heard, he says, a more
pure and liquid musical sound than
this was. The pleasing effect upon
the ear was but little diminished on
learning by what animal it was pro
duced. The vocalist was a frog; and
soon another from a more distant
spot took up the strain, and tho two
sang together, cow in solos, now in
chorus.
Curious to see this musical frog, I
took a torch from the fire and went
to look for him. I arrived at the spot
whence the sound was proceeding,
but, as I stopped to search the grass,
the music seemed to float away to an
other place some yards distant
I followed, and still the sound
moved and nowhere could I discover
whence it came. I searched for near
ly a quarter of an hour, without being
able to fix the spot and then I gave
up In despair.
The fact Is, this frog Is recognized
to be a ventriloquist of no common
order. I have many a time since
heard him crying in broad daylight;
and the power ot ventriloquism is no
doubt given him as a protection
against the numerous cranes and
other enemies that would otherwise

GUNS AT WASHINGTON'S HEAD
QUARTERS.
Morrlstown, N. J., is famous as a
beautiful residential place and also
as an historical place, since it was
there that Washington and his army
camped for the better part of two
winters and to-day the fine old man
sion which served our gallant general
as a headquarters Is one of the show
places of the town. The guns to bo
seen there are genuine old Revolu
tionary relics and within the house
are to be found numberless reminders
of the days ot tho War for Indepen
dence. This house was known as the old
Ford House and Is now the property
of the Washington Association.
There are quaint old household appli
ances, warming pans, rag carpets,
fireplaces, old chairs and tables, and
davenports and rare old prints. A
visit to Morrlstown Is not complete
without a trip to the old headquar
ters. Washington occupied Morris
town from January to May in the year
1777 and from December, 1779, to
Jsne. 1TSU.
Morrlstown is the county seat ot
Morris County and is about sixteen
mile from Newark, as the crow flies.
It Is atneteen miles by read and twea-
ty-two by rail. It 18 located in th
heart of a rich agricultural district
and the fruit and garden truck raise!
make it a rich section. It was set
tled in 1709 and 1710 and was first
called West Hanovor. In 1740 the
name was changed to Morrlstown, In
honor of Lewis Morris, then colonial
governor ot New Jersey.
In Morrlstown there is a beautiful
park with a soldier's monument to
mark the site ot Fort Nonsense,
erected by Washington. Newark

I first met him one spring morning
as I was going along a wood road,
lined with huckleberry bushes, bay
berry bushes and sweet fern, writes
Charles E. Jenney, in the Churchman.
There was a rustle in the bushes and
dead leaves, and making haste to In
vestigate, I caught Woody at bay, too
far from his burrow to retreat As
suming valor out of necessity, he
bristled up bravely and ground his
teeth In a way to strike terror to any
one near his size, all the time facing
me, but gradually backing away. In
spite of his miniature ferocity, I made
a dash for him, but he was too quick
and the undergrowth too thick, and
he escaped. His hole must have been
to run.

large burrow, perhaps a sort of cou

with the others I do not know, but
think it was. It was over a hundr
