CHAPTER IX.—(Cont'd.)
"Mother's seared to •death now for

"Oh,the way you managed her! It
was marvelous."'
"She had to act stiff, at first, yeti

then, for a good -night, Mary Kate
drew her brother's hard young cheek
close to her own fragrant one, in the
dark, and whispered passionately:
"Meed if I could only do for you
what you do for me! You're so won-
derful. If I could anly make a thou-
sand dollars some way, or half that,
and give it to pu, and let you go off

"Oh, shucks, forget it! I oughtn't
to have told you!"
"But I can't forget it, Mart. And
t seems so mean for Cass and me to
be happy, when you will have to go
plugging on here—"
"I'll ?lave lots of other chances."
Mary Kate released hint, sticking
tubbornly to her point,
"I don't care. It's not fair!"
Her last tho_ght, dropping off to
Jeep, veered suddenly from Cass to

iiand mild inthemorning,a d 't

was the only way to manage Mother,

make. Mother's property ntuch mo e
valuable?"
"Itought, to!"
They parted, as usual, at the big
cool doorway of her office building:
Mary Kate ,nedded and bowed to two
or three other girls ie the elevator.
She knew them, but not intimately.
She was Gordon Rountree's Jersonal
and prieate clerk, and did not associ-
ate, except .casually and accidentally,
with the other girls in the Rountree
employ.
Gordon Rountree, one of •'.,hree bre-
them, was not in the family firm. He
was an elegant idler a bachelor, ape
preaching sixty. , He played golf, he
traveled all over the world, he had an
apartment in Paris. Sometimes he
did not come into the single room; that
was his office, in the big business
building, for weeks at a time.
Two men clerks, old Joseph Delaney

Gordon Rountree's interests, and
Mary Kate O'Hara helped them, Hon-
oria Malloy, in charge of the general
office of Rountree Brothers outside
of the big office loft kept a general
eya on Mary Kate.
This morning there was nobody in
the office, not an - unusual situation
on a Saturday morning, for young
Mr. Delaney was often busy then,
down at the Rountree estate in the
neighborhood of San Jose, and old Mr.
Delaney did not always come into
town for the half day,
Mary Kate had put away her hat
and coat, and powdered he: nose, and
pinned en her cuffs, and was busy with
the mail, when the door opened with-
out ceremony, and Mr. Christopher
Steynes came in. Big, fair -headed,

this morning the vaguely un_

him yesterday.
CHAPTER X.
"Miss O'Meara," he said.
"O'Hara," substituted Mary Kate,
instantly,
"I'm sorry." He did seem disturb-
ed. "Was it O'Hara yesterday?" he
asked.
Her lips went up at the corners.
"It's always been."
"I must try to remember it," said
Mr. Steynes. He sat down, at an
angle, close to Mary Kate's ypewriter
table, and she turned about slightly in
her chair and feeed hint. "O'Hara me
back to old Kentucky," he hummed,
"I wanted to ask you, before any of
the men come in," he began without
preamble "Hove you thought over
what we were talking about yester-
day?„
There was nothing to think over,"
said Mary Kate.
"011, yes there wast It was a ques-
tion of telling your mother, do you
remember?"
Mary Kate's prod, suspicious face
wore a"slightly worried expression.
Her blue eyes were bright; there was
an apricot color beginning to creep up
under her creamy skin.
"I tell my mother everything!" she
said fienily.
"Naturally. But couldn't/ you tell
her afterward?"
"After what?"
They both laughed, and were the
better friends.
"I'm going to tell you tha • whole
eatery, said Christopher Steynes,
after a moment of consideration..
"I wish you •wonid!" said Mary
Kate, heartily tired of mystery.
"Well; here it is; do you 'see?" the
man began: "By the way, what is
your first come?" he diverged .sui-
denly.
"My first name!"
"Yes, 'Whet is it?"
"Why, its --it's Mary."
"Mary!"
"Yes. Era what --what' has that to

"It couldn't be better!" he said en-

Kate's eyes-='ifor th,a briefest imag-

"I hope you keep your good health
and spirits until you get 'nee to do
that," the girl said, simply. Again
they both laughed.
"Listen, it isn't . as bad as it
sounds!" Steynes assured her piaeat-
i.:gly.
• `Well, I should hope-"
"I woaldn't come to you with any-

of 'money, (vas inseparable from him-

too.
"Why can't you just tell them,

!`Then it weeldn't do any good if

Medical Officer of yrd Expedition
Tells How They Were Kept Fi
Balanced Rations Preserved Health of Antarctic
and Were the Result of Careful Dietary
Preparations • .
A hitherto unreported aspect of
1117 73yrd Antarctic Expedition is dis-
cussed in the f -!lowing article. How
was the health and welt -being of the
forty-two men at Little America safe-
guarded? What recreation did they
have during the long, Iighttess Ant-
arctic winter? What food did they
have to eat, and what medical atten-
tion did they require? These ques-
tions are answered, with. a wealth of
Interesting personal incidents by the
medical director of the expedition.
The Byrd Expedition arrived at
its home port with"its personnel in-
tact and every man well. When one
considers the hazards that had to be
surmounted' and the size and widely
scattered distribution of its coating -
eats one begins to appreciate that
such a record is extraordinary. No
former expedition ever had such good
fortune. It would even be difficult to
find a similar group of men who in
ordinary lite would all be well at the
enc
twolofe,•
years.
Citing a.single Instance, it h per-
haps,not often realized that we owe
to the late Fridtiof Nanseu not Only
the first actual use of skis and of dog
teams and light sledges in polar ex -
pie -ration, but also the practical means
of preparing hot food on long sledge
trips; and even less is it realized that
any one of these Items might be speci-
Really life-saving.
The medical program while largely
concerned with definite preventive
and precautionary measures alined
first of ail toward building up the re-
sistance of the iml!vidual to the un-
usual demands of the environment.
On other similar expeditions the least
scratch toward the end of the seaspn
was likely to lead to ulceration and
grate illness.
Keeping Men Mentally Fit
',Ve early realized the necessity of
fostering a healthy mental equilib-
rium among men, some of whom were
liable to have difficulty in adjusting
themselves to a social situation from
which there was no escape. Accord-
ingly, from the very first a definite
Yet reasonably elastic policy was
adopted toward each specific iud!-
vicleal type. Our general freedom
from sickness speaks well enough for
this program, Words of advice wore
dispensed more liberally than pills.
Byrd kept himself . fit by walking
out every clay whatever the weather.
In addition he was one of the few
consistent users of the gymnasium.
7lere he practiced weight -lifting and
went through a series of exercises he
had developed for every muscle of the
body. Here, also, Bernt gave boxing
instruction and sparred daily with
several of the boys. Some of the
rest of us went ottt occasionally, but
found that after the regular daily
deities the non-productive gymnasium
wont demanded fust too much moral
enacity for our weak wills.
Care of Frost -Bites
With the amateur crew we had,
heaven knows why we never had any
serious kt.ceidents. . We became ac-
customed to freezing the faceso that
those of ui
s who were out n cold
'weather raid little attention to it and
out' friends were tbe ones mostly
concerned for'.us) It was not the
same, however, with a frozen hand or
foot,; we became quickly and painfully
ed a large amount of roughage and
became a popular bedtime snack
. throughout the Winter. Like the
pemmican, it had )leen made with
great care, Floyd Bennett and Bernt
Party Balchen supervising its preparation
in Canada.
Our daily duties took as out of
doors, except in the most violent
blizzards. There was always snow
shoveling to do. In fact we often
thought that a shovel would be a most
appropriate emblem for us. Windows
and ventilators had to he kept clear,
and tunnel and hut entrances made
passable many tines during the day.
Stores had to be dug (Suet' and often
when some one heti tho..ghtlessly re-
moved marker poles large areas and
ds many cubic feet of t;?e barrier hadto
re- he folded bat:. until the stores could

wdlcs; and Paul Siple, who seemed to
pick out the hardest work to do,
strained a shoulder muscle in chop-
ping updog food and as a result his
arm was in a skiing for a couple of
months. With protective eyeglasses
that would not 'fog we suffered very
little from snow glare.
The Varied Diet
Extended advice as to proper foo
once given was thereafter never
quired on the ships or at Little Am
ice. The proper foods were the
and well prepared and varied de
menus were provided by Tennant
Reichert, each of whom was a g
combination of steward and chef. Tt
men found little dif ettlty !n beco

All of us grew to thlek of carib

Scurvy, of course, was especially
kept in mind. And to combat it we
had a citrus emits in every Oonee#vabte
form, We had such fruit preserved
in syrup or partially dehydrated
under caebondioxide; we lead vacuum-
packed sterile fresh! juice and the
powdered whole fruit; and, most sat.

tied, and for which extensive refrig

tropics, the region itself provided a
great abundance of whale meat, seal
meat, penguin and skua gull. The
'Whale meat was like very coarse
beef, but slightly fishy; we preferred
the Crabeater seal as less gamy than
the IVedeli variety; the penguin seem-
