"Has?has anything happened at the j ffiee todayT she tremblingly asked fter awhile. "Oh. a trifling thing." he answered s he looked over her bead and swelld out bis chest. "But just what?" "Well, fifteen or twenty scientific entlemen organized a new arctic exlorhig club and elected nve president f it." | "You don't mean it!" "Mrs. Bowser. 1 never say what I on't mean. The honor surprises you. nt I can't say that It does me. 1 may 1 ay that I have been expecting some J ucb thing for the last two years. I m considered something of an author- i y on arctic matters, I believe." "But?but what do you know about ' hem? You may know winter from ! amtner here, but you cant possibly now anything of arctic conditions." "Madura, we will not 6iscuss the abject further." be said, with a wave f his hand. "But as your wife I should tike to ear all about it " Bowser Explains. Not another word could s she get, owever, until they bad finished diner and returned to the family room. Ir.

"You will have to eat seal, musk ox. whale blubber, and so on. Better get a can of lard and some rusty salt pork and have your appetite all ready." Mr. Bowser closed bis eyes and wondered if it was ail a dreum. "There is ice up at tbo north poloplenty of ice. If you are going there to pick daisies you will be disappointed. Bang a round our refrigerator as much as you can and get used to ice," "By t bunder, wotnnu. this is not to be borne.'" suddenly shouted Mr. Bowser as be emerged from bis trance.
