S t a n d in g ? o n Ills AMERICAN FLAG NAILED TO POLE T ra c e o f C ook. New York, Sept. 7.— Peary has reached the North Pole. It has been doubly discovered. From the bleak coast o f Labrador Commander Peary yesterday flashed the news that he hud attaned his goal in the Far North, while at the same moment in Denmark Dr. Frderick A. Cook was being dined and lionized by royalty for the same achievement. Yankee grit has conqueredjthe frozen North and there has been created a co- incidnce such as the world will never see again. Two Americans have planted the flag o f their country in the land o f ice, which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries; and each, ignoiant of the other’s conquest, has sent within a period of five days, a locoaconic mes sage of success. A dispatch from St. Johns, N. F., says that Peary found no trace o f Dr. Cook. This news reached here last night through Captain Robert Bartlett, of the Roosevelt, Peary’s ship. While Peary does not expressly re pudiate Dr. Cook’s contention in so many words, his statement may have an important bearing upon determining the extent o f Dr. Cook’ s explorations. The Roosevelt was in good condition and the crew all right, Captain Bart lett wired, and he reported that the schooner Jeannie, carrying supplies for the expedition, had met them off the coast of Greenland.

PORTLAND BUSINESS COLLEGE “ The School of Quality” T h ree Shipbuilders C onsider Locating Y ard s In Dominion. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 7.— Canada is extremely anxious to possess a war fleet o f its own and efforts are being put forth to induce British shipbuilders to locate plants on Canadian soil. It is said three world famous shipbuilders are now considering proposals to locate branch yards in the Dominion and have been assured that the Canadian govern ment will grant every concession in the way of tariff or in any other line pos sible. While the Canadian ministers at the London conference on naval defense have kept the government here advised on the different steps o f the negotia tions, an official account o f what has been agreed upon has not yet been re ceived. __________________ Girl Sw im s Nine M iles.

The White Steamers Use Kerosene as Fuel Monterey, Mex., Sept. 7.— General Trevino, commanding the military zone, received a dispatch tonight from Tampico, stating that Soto La Marina and the surrounding country, in which are many American oil men, had been overwhelmed by a tidal wave. The dispatch states that the inhabitants of Soto La Marina had taken refuge in the hills and were destitute. The town of Tula, in the state o f Tamaulipas, was swept by another flood Sunday, houses being carried away and rich plantations destroyed. Attendance R ecord Set. Seattle, Sept. 7.— A ll attendance rec ords at the exposition were broken yes- terdsy when the people of Seattle, cel ebrating Seattle day at the fair, swarmed to the grounds in an endless T ream, the total attendance as given out at midnight amounting to 117,013. This is 22,707 greater than the attend ance on the opening day, which here tofore held the record. This brings the total since the opening o f the ex position to 2,688,684. W ireless A cross Ocean.

When Charles and I returned to the house we found muddy footprints staining the dining-room door and tracked across the kitahen. No in truders were to be seen, nor other evi dence of their visit, but the mere fact that the sanctity of my home— hitherto always left open to the winds— had been invaded, angered me. I bade Charles see that the house was securely locked here after whenever he left It In my absence». Over the mantel In my den hung two muskets, out-of-date but still capable of boring holes in the atmosphere. My little armory held a shotgun, for use in the marshes, and two revolvers, whose only use heretofore had been for target prac tice. I took them from the drawer and looked them over; they were ready for work when needed. I sat on the porch, and considered the situation. Something was about to hap pen, something— I could not tell what— that centered around this man who had mysteriously taken possession of the Ship and proposed to offer combat on the sands. What he was or who he was I could not guess ; speculation In these lines brought me immediately Into blind al leys ; but there was no doubt that in sit uation and character he was certainly the direct descendant of a more adven turous age. I was unmistakably drawn to him. I could see him as he stood on the beach, buffeted by the storm, gazing nt the men who were pulling away, and as he had stepped from the hatchway, hat In hand, bowing to Barbara Graham with the chivalrous manner of a cavalier, and again as he sat across the table from me, his slender hands ready to seize u d o u the pistols, his eyes, full of amusement and audacity, looking straight into mine. There was no doubt about it, the Ship belonged to him by right of inheritance, and his arrival had brought me strange tidings. I thought over the matter a long time before I went to bed. Early the next mottling I took my dip In the sea, and was returning, clad In a bath-robe, when 1 caught gigiht of a man peering at me from the pines. I waved my towel, and he disappeared. As I was finishing dressing, a little later, I stepped out upon my balcony, and I saw the same man, much nearer now, gazing Intently at the cottage. I hate spies, so I spoke somewhat angrily. “ HI, there! What do you want?” I cried, beckoning to him. He came forward rather sheeplngly, and touched his bat. ” 1 was only taking a look at your house, sir.” "And is that what you were doing some twenty minutes ago?” “ Yes, sir ; that’s all I was doing.” "A re you an architest?” I demanded. He wore a plain blue suit, with an old straw hat, and might have been al most anything. He smiled. “ No, I was merely look ing about to see what there was to see. There wasn't any harm meant.” “ There isn’t any harm done, but, then, there isn’t anything to see. I ’ m not very partial to sight seers, especially when they hide behind trees. I f there's any thing you want to ask me about, speak aut.” He hesitated s moment. "A stranger— a tall man who speaks French— hasn't •topped at your house, has he?" “ No. Is he a pal of yours?” The man grinned. “ Not exactly, Well, I won’t trouble you any more. Good morning.” A t breakfast I again cautioned Charles to remember that he knew nothing. I could do no work In my present state of mind, so I slung my field-glasses over my shoulder and went to call on Dupon- ceau. He was sitting at the cabin table, breakfasting on the remains of our last night's sapper. My heart smote me. “ Why didn’t you let me know? I could have brought you breakfast.” " I t matters little; yesterday I obtained some food from a farmer, but that is too dangerous.” He Rmiled. “ I ’m quite used to doing with little.” 1 sat down while he finished breakfast. After that we walked the short length of the cabin, Duponoeau asking me a great many questions about the coast and the country inland. I told him what I could, and he seemed satisfied. Then I decided to take my easel and paints and go up on the cliff above the Ship to paint. “ I can keep a good lookout from there of the farther beach,” I said. “ One can sweep It thoroughly from the cliff with a pair of glasses.” I settled down on the elifT, and for half an hour forgot everything but the scene In front of me. At the end of thst time f looked up the distant beach with my glasses. Some one was sitting there, half way up. I studied the figure and decided that it was a woman, no other than Bar bara Graham. Pride is a curious quality. Sometimes It will not even last overnight. My one desire now was to have a few words with Miss Graham, mo I left my easel as It stood, and went towards her. She was half lying, half sitting, in the »oft sand, some of which she had moulded Into a cushion for her back, and a book lay open at her side, but she was not reading. She was gazing at the sea. “ What do you think of our pirate?” She started, looked round at me, sat up. and clasped her knees with her hands. I sat down on the sand beside her. “ I was just thinking o f him. I was thinking that I like him tremendously." “ Naturally. He rescued you from a very disagreeable fellow.” “ Yes.” she agreed, without looking at me: “ and a girl can never forget a debt j f gratitude for that sort of thing.” “ I must apologize,” I «aid, “ for my rudeness. Of course h was no business it mine whose portrait you had in your locket.” “ O f course not,” she agreed ; “ although It happens that was just the reason why ( put It there.” "Put what there?" “ Put Rodney's portrait In the locket, and the locket where you would find i t ” "You did ?

I believe he has corns to Alaetalr to hi do." “ I know he has.” “ Oh, tell me all about I t !” she hegged " I know very little. He’s an adventur er, and he’s fled from Europe, and ther» are people very anxloua to take him back, and he’s going to Uvo in the Ship. More over, it seems reasonably certain that there’s going to be trouble." “ Is there?” she cried, half In excite- ment. half in delight. “ Oh, let'« help him I" I found that I only needed this chanoe T H E W H IT E S T E A M E R W H IC H M A D E A SU CCESSECI, BUB M O D E M O N S T R A T IO N to avow myself openly.
