"Coma on, then, to Ilia sledge at once, anil let net to Hit unknown ocean," exclultncd llatleraa. Their few preparallona wera aoon mail, and Ida march resumed.

The alorm had open ed with the polar baeln, and tha loos ened pneka were drlfttnic In all direc tions. The Iceberg had welched an chor, and wore sailing out Into the open eea. Thla new ocean stretched far away out of (lulu, and not a (Ingle laland or continent ana visible. After a careful aurvey of the coaet, llatleraa determined to launch the loop that very day, and lo unpack the ledge, and set everything on board. Ily t o'clock nothing more remained to be done. The aloop lay nicking grace fully In the Utile bay. and all the car go wai on board except the tent and what waa required for tha ntcht'a en campment CIIAITKH XII. The eight of the eloop suggested to Clawbonny the propriety of giving Al tamonl'a name lo the little bay. Hie proposition lo that effect met with unanlmoua approval, and the port waa forthwith dignified by the title of Al tamonl hftor, According to the doctor calcula tlone, the travelera were now only three drgreea dlitant from the pole. They had gone over 200 inline from Victoria bay to Altamont harbor, and were In latitude IT degrees t minutes and longitude Ul degrees SI minutes. Next morning by I o'clock all tha re malnlng effects were on board, and the preparations for departure completed. A quarter of an hour afterward the little eloop salted out of Altamont har bor, and commenced her voyage of dis covery. The wind waa favorable, but there waa little of It, and the weather waa poettlvely warm. Toward evening Hatteraa and lite companions loet sight of the coast Night came on, though tha sun re mained Just above the horlion. HI new the departure from Altamont harbor, the sloop had made one degree far ther north. " The next day brought no elgha of land) there wae not even a cpeck on the horlion. At length, about I In tha evening, a 'dim, haiy, shnprleee sort of mitt seem ed to rise far away between sea and sky. II waa not a cloud, for It was constantly vanishing, and then reap pearing next minute. Halters waa the tlrst lo notice this . peculiar phenomenon; but after nn hour's scrutiny through his telescope, ho could make nothing out of It All at once, however, icrne aura In dication met his eye, and stretching out his arm to the horlion, ha shouted, In a clear, ringing voice: "Landl landl" His words produced an electrical ef fect on his companions, and every man mined to his side. -I see It, I see HI" said Clawbonny. "Yes, yea, so do II" exclaimed John son. "It la a cloud." said Altarriont "Landl landl" repeated Hatteraa, In tones of absolute conviction., "Let us make right for it then," said Ilalterns, It waa Impossible longer to doubt tha proximity of the coast In twenty-four hours, probably, the bold navi gators might hope to set foot on Its untrodden soil. Hut strango as It was, now that they were so near the goal of their voyage, no one showed the joy which might have been e Each man sat silent, Absorbed own thoughts, wondering what place this pole must be. At last sleep overcame the tlr and one after another xlroppe EssbTsk Trj leaving llatterns lo keep watch While JIatterus dreamed of and famo, an enormous cloud,1 olive tinge una uegun to aark and sky, A hurricane waa at The first blast of the tempest the captain and his companion they wero on their feet In an I ready to meet It. Tha sea had tremendously, and the ship was lnit violently up and down on t lows. Hatteraa took the helm and kept a firm bold of It, while son and Dell baled out the water waa constantly dashing over the This sudden tempest might , stem to such exotica men, a stern hlbltlon against further approaoi the pole but It needed but a g at their resolute faces to know- they would neither yield to winds waves, but go right on to the end. For a whole day tho struggle lai death threatening them each mo: The next evening, just as the fu the Waves seemed at Its highest there came a sudden calm. The was stilled as If mlraoulomly, and es, became smooth an glass. ffiPOkS - -- trrKVir VCKHC Than came n most extraordinary In explicable phenomenon. The fog, wlthour dispersing, became strangely luminous, nnd tho sloop sail ed along In a xono of elactrlo light Mast, all, nnd rigging appeared pen ciled In black agalmt tho prosphor recent sky with wondrous distinctness. The man wero bullied In lltriit, nnd their faces shone with a fiery glow, "II Is a phenomenon," replied the doctor, "seldom met hitherto. If we go on, we shall soon get out of this bril liant glow nnd be back In the darkness and tempo! again." "Well, let's go on, come what may," said llatterns. The doctor was right Gradually the fog began to lose Ita light and then Ha transparency, and the howling wind was heard not far off, A few minutes more, nnd the little vrssel wss caught In a violent etusll, and wept back In to tha cyclone. Hut the hurricane had fortunately turned a Anlnt Inward the eouth. and 'left the veael free to run before the wind atralght toward the pale. At last they began evidently to near (he coast. Strange symptoms were manifest In the alrl the fog suddenly rent like a curtain lorri by the wind: and for an Instant like a flash of light ning, an Immense column of flame waa seen on the horlion. The wind suddenly chsnged to soulhwisl, and drove the ship back again from the land. As llatleraa stood with dlahaveled hair, grasping the helm aa If welded to his hand, lie seemed the animating eoul of the ship. All at once a, fearful sight mst his gas. Mcarcety twenty yard In front waa a great block of Ice coming right to wards them, mountliiK and falling on the stormy billows, ready to overturn at any moment and crush them In Ita descent Hut thla waa not tho only danger that threatened (he bold navigators. The Iceberg was packed wUh whlto bear, huddling cloae together, and evi dently beelde themselves with terror. For a ciuarter of an hour, which seemed a whole century, thn sloop sail ed on In this formidable company, sometimes a few yards distant and sometimes near enough to touch. The atorm now burst forth with re-j.uwt-a furr, The little bark waa lift ed bodily out of the water, and whirled round and round with the moat fright ful rapidity. Mast and tall were torn off. A whirlpool began to form among the wave, drawing down tha ship gradually by Jts Irrrslatlble auction. All five men stood erect gaxlng at each other In speechless- terror. Hut suddenly the ship roee perpendicular ly, her prow went above the edge of Ihe or tax. and getting out of the cen ter of Attraction by her own velocity, she escaped at a tangent from the cir cumference, and waa thrown far be yond, swift aa a ball from a cannon's mouth. It waa S o'clock In the morning. For a few aeconda they seemed stu pefied, and then a cry of "Hattera!" broke from every lip. On all atdea nothing was visible but the tempestuous ocean. "Take Ihe helm. Altamont," said tha doctor, "and let us try our utmost to nnd our poor captain." Johnson and Hell selced the , oars, and rowed about for more than an hour, but their search was vain Hat teraa was loslt I.ostl and so near the pole, Just as he had caught sight of the goal) At such a distance from the coast It was Imposalbl llatterns could reach It alive, without an oar or even eo much as a spar to help him: If ever he touched tha haven of his desire. It would bo us a swollen, mutilated corpse. Longer search waa useless, and noth ing remained but to resume the route north. The tempest was dying out and atout S In the morning, on the Uth of July, the wind fell, and the sea gradually became calm. The sky re covered Us polar clearness, and lest than three miles away the land ap peared In all Ita grandeur. The new continent wua only an Isl and, or, rather, a volcano, fixed like a lighthouse on the north pole of the world. The mountain was In full activity, pouring out a mass of burning stones and glowing rock. This enormous rock In the middle of the sea wss .0fl0 feet high, Just about the Altitude of Hecla, "Can we land!" said the doctor. "The wind Is carrying ua right to t" said Altamont "Let ua go, then," said Clawbonny, ejectedly, He had no heart now for anything, he north pole was Indeod before his ye, but not the man who had dls- vercd It. A they got nearer the Island, which as not more than eight or ten miles circumference, tho navigators no- iced a tiny fiord, just large enough to rbor thulr boat, and mude toward Immediately. They feared their cup- n's dead body would meet their eyes the coast, nnd yot It seemed dim- It for a corpse to llo on It, for there s no shore, and the sea broke on tp rocks, whtch were covered with dors above water mark. t last the little sloop glided gently the narrow opening between two dbankg Just visible abova the water, re she would be safe from the vlo- e of the breakers, Hefore she Id be njoored, Duke began howling barking Again In the molt piteous ner. ukol Dukel" called Clawbonny. ut Duke had already disappeared, uke was barking vehemently some ,nce orr, nut his bark seemod full rlef rather than fury, He had d the body of Hatteraa. 1 four rushed forward, In spite ef -Minding cinder dust and earn 40 tlio tux end pf a fiord, where they dls covered the dog barking round A cord whipped In tha llrlllsh flagl "llntternnl Hattnrnsl" arled lli doctor, lliriivtlng himself beside Ihe bedy of his friend, Hut next minute he slnrtcd up with nn Indescribable cry, and rIiouUmI, "Allvnl nllvel" "Yes," said it feeble vole, "yes, nllve at (he north polu, on Queen's Island." Kor a few minutes the Joy of recov ery of tlmlr rapluln flllvd nil their hearts, and the poor fellows could not restrain their tears.

He kept exclaiming, 'Tha polet the north polet" Ha had become quite delirious with excitement, and fever burned In his veins. Ills eyes shone with unnatural brilliancy, and Ills brain seemed on Are. Perfect rest was what lis most needed, for the doctor found It Impos sible 10 quiet hlia Altamont speedily discovers a grot to composed of rocks which had ao fallen aa lo form a aort of cave, John son and Itell carried In provision and gave the dogs their liberty.

The 10 degree of latltuda wa then only about three-quarters of a mile on, or Just About the summit of t'jo volcano. When the result was given to Hat teraa, he had a formal document drawn up to attest the fact and two copies rnsde, one of which should be deposited on a cairn on the Island. Clawbonny waa the scribe, and In dlted the following document a copy of which I now among Ihe archives of the Itoyal Geographical Society of Lon don: "On this 11th day of July. 1111, In north latitude I degrees 10 minutes IS seconds, was discovered Queen's Island at the north pole, by Capt Hatteraa, commander of the brig Forward of Liverpool, who algna this, a also all his companions.

Seamen are strict disciplinarian, and a ship's crew seldom even dream of Interpreting a commander order otherwise than literally. Of the rec ognized rigid type wa a certain Eng lish captain The way the strict let ter of hi law wa observed aboard hi ship Is described by a writer In the London Telegraph. One day, while the ship wa In a certain port, the captam gave a din ner to some town acquaintance, and a the resource of the ship ware not great, some of tho sailor were deput ed to wait on the table to re-enforce the Insufficient number of stewards. A theio men were not used to such work, each one wa told exactly what service would fall to hi snare. The hour came, and the dinner went .merrily on, Presently, however, one of the ladle wanted a piece of bread. There wa none near her, and the fine ly disciplined steward seemed to be quite blind to ber need. She turned her head and spoke softly to the man at her elbow. "Dread, please," the aald. He looked regretfully at the bread and then at ber. It wa evident that he would fain have helped her If It had been In hi power. He saluted In fine naval style, "Can't do It, ma'am," said he.

Third, becauio the price of living Is w high. Men abandon their wives In shocking numbers because the Job of maintenance Is heavy nnd they get tired of It, Fourth, because women re quire much more and give less than they did a generation ago. They have been carefully endowed by law In most State with rights and privi leges proper to Independence. Fifth, because distractions have greatly In creased in American life In a genera tlon. Sixth, church Influences, for the time being, are weaker thnn they used to be, and dramatic Influences are mow pervasive; church Influences favor con tinuity In marriage: dramatic Influ ences favor variety. There are plenty more reasons, but alt are enough. The wonder is that, In the face of sucn con vincing reason as thse, about nine marriages to every ten still hold good. All thlnxs considered, marriage seem Incorrigibly proper even In tut rest less and progressive country.

AImiuI HnylnK Hararalna, Some women seem to be born with "clothe sense." Other acquire It Ihrcugh long and expensive experience And tome never have t. There nre ury. few women who nro not amenable to the temptation of a bargain. And the bargain In the hands of the woman of judgment Is a great aid toward dressing well on n small sum. On the other hand, It Is often a great stumbling block In the way of one who has not learned discrimina tion, Morcjy because a thing Is cheap Is no good reason for Its purchase. It la best to study the need of the ward robe. In planning the wardrobe make out a list of what you already have on hand.. Then in buying the new thine see that they harmonize with the older clothing you wish to wear them with For instance, t you have a blue Inllcr-made suit left over from last year which will serve another season, and you wish to get a new dress and a new hat to wear with both the dress and the suit, do not get a purple hat and brown dre. The thing to do Is te get both ta harraon U with tha left-over suit Wo&sa TYPICAL DESIuNS This year it Is evident that extraordinary attention ha beea paid U small details In the fashioning of lingerie blouses.
