While Peary is Making His Dash to

in the Opposite Direction.

Commander Robert E. Peary boards
his steamer Roosevelt at Sydney, C. B
this week and starts on his expedition
in search of the North Pole an in
ternational race to the uttermost ends
of the earth will be on. Peary hopes
to carry the Stars and Stripes to the
North pole, while a British Antarctic
expedition commanded by Lieutenant
Ernest H. Schackelton is trying to
place the Union Jack of the British
Empire at 90 degrees South. Al-
"Look out!" warned Letty. "It's the
worst sort of luck to spin a chair
around like that"
Travis, who had been twirling n
light chair, hastily set It down on all
four legs. This was not that ho feared
the hoodoo, but the consternaton on
Letty'a face Indicated her discomfort
And to make Letty unhappy was fur
thest from his thoughts.
"Don't set it down!" shrieked Lettv.
; "You must turn the chair the othei
I way until you wind the bad luck
again,"
Dutifully Travis "wound up" his evl
fortune and turned to the girl.
"Look here, Letty," he pleaded; "let's
forget signs for a minute and get
down to something more Interesting
than superstitions. You told me last
rTiaay that I might have my answer
today."
Letty's face colored softly.
"It'a such bad luck to propose on
Friday!" she asserted solemnly.
"So it seems." agreed Travis, "as It
has kept me in suspense sluce then.

that It has always been my great wish

of her shyness to her love. He ronl.l

Letty's face tnatched the tints of the

From the nest room came the iamv
lug sounds of a phonograph, and t!

A few minutes later a determined

Dob, stuck his tousled head inside the
door.
"I say, Mr. Travis." ho beiran dllll
dently, "you couldn't let me have that
quarter now. could you? The boys are
going down to the store to get the
baseball uniforms, and If I had that
quarter I could go with thorn."

quarter," said Letty sharply. "If you
want money ask mother for It."
'Sure, ho owes me a quarter." main
talned Bob stoutly. "I was cotnln

Hob nodded as he received a coin
from Travis, and then he vanished
from the room.
"Since you must have a sign 1 made
my own." explained Travis, anxiously
earchlng her face.
"And I'm glad you did." said Letty
