It was explained that no fears are felt for the safety of the party, but that the relief expedition, which will be fitted out at a cost of $25,000, will be sent as a precaution, because the second winter in the Arc- tic generally has the most telling efâ€" i‘ects on exnlorem.

In a foothill California district there is a mat} who runs a small ferry across one of the rivers. charging twenty-five cents for one transportation of a single team and forty cents for a double one. One afternoon in the early days of automobiling a city man drove up to the ferry in a touring car and at- tempted to go on to the boat, but was held. up by the captain. who told him to wait. Finally. after the boat had crossed the river two or three times. the motorist began to get impatient. “Can’t take ye over yet.” answered the captain in response to the motorist’s demands. “Yer the fast one 0' them .things that ever crossed here. an’ I 1don't know what ter charge ye.” “Don’t know what to charge me?” , “Nope: I've sized. ye up fore and aft. an’ I'm darned if I know whether to 1 charge ye as a single rig or a double 1 team.”â€"Argonaut. .

He carries all his 1111. pedimenta in two cabinets. sitting on one and working at the other. When he has finished all the work available in one neighborhood he fastens the two cabinets to a bamboo rod and slings it over his shoulder.

At that time the1e lived in England 1 Robert Percy. a young man of the most admirable qualities. it was some time before the secret of the murder of the young princes began to leak out, and when it did there 11ere low mutterings on the part of the people.

She: looked down on young Percy. walking ‘ erect between his guards. his bearing , indicating that he was ready and will- 3 ing to lay down his life in contending . against crime. Every. one believed i that he was going to his death. His ' manly beauty. his noble bearing and the crown of martyrdom rendered him an object of pity to all. But to Lady Gwendolen he was more than this. Within these few minutes during which he was passing her heart left her bosom and settled upon him. Per- cy. happening to look in her direction. saw the loveligbt in her eyes, and his load was lightened. Richard. fearing to order Percy to ‘ execution without a trial. lest it excite the people to revolt. directed attorneys to prepare a case against him. Per- sons were bribed to swear that he had been heard advocating the king‘s as- . sassination and placing the Duke of 1 Richmond on the throne. Lady Gwen- {dolem hearing of this. begged her fa- . ther to induce lawyers to defend the accused. The earl not only knew that the case was hopeless. but did not dare to oppose the king: consequently he refused to have anything to do with it. One day Lady Gwendolen went to that quarter of London given over to lawyers and found Roger Moore. an old attorney who had served her fa. ther. and consulted him as to what - “Ann" Percy wavs iconvicted of high treason against the king and sentenced to be banned and quartered on a certain date.
