The e-xpe>;ience wasproving ridi-

the exact proof of whatever it was,

And she glanced dutifully, loyally
at Christopher.
"You've delayed your trip to
China?"
"Only over one steamer—yes."
"I think Nou had better that your
husband take you, too!" the Countess,
listening from the other end of the
table,,put in venomously. "You know
thin men they forget their good little
Mary wives, n':en they conte to Rus-
sia!„
"0h, I.shall go this tine," Mary
Kate, who was beginning to enjoy
herself in,a frightened sert.:of excited
way, saidaamiably.
"Some •day you are -not afraid—"
the Countess pursued, "that someone
show you the letter he write?"
Mary. I{ate glanced unsmilingly at
Christopher again.
' "Iknow he's a terror," she admitted
mildly
It was all so smooth, Ti was all so
easy!
"We 'belie almost three good bridge
tables for after dinner," Gordon Roun-
tree, who was a man of one idea, at
least as far as evening amusement was
concerned, said wistfully.
"Oh, I'll watch!" Mary Kate offer-
ed eagerly. "I'd really like to sit be-
side Chris' chair and watch!"
She hadn't seen it corning, :tut the
name sounded smooth and natural.
Her sapphire eyes proved; Chris
Steynea was looking at her with an
odd expression, an expression that
brought the uneasy, puzzled color up
into her cheeks.
"Let's MI' cut in!" said one of the
young men. m,
"Sure, have ttvo tables, and" well
cut, Gordy.,'
"Telephone old van Antwerp—he's
right across tho load here, he loves
bridge!"
Mary Kate's mouth went suddenly
dry; her hands were raid. • She felt
her 'heart thump heavily, sickly.
"Ice's in town, I telephoned about an
hour ago," the host said, and sheeould
breathe again. But what an escape!,
Her .palms were wet, and she felt
he blood that had receded from her
face return'again.
"You're like Ttfary Queen of Scots,"
Chris said. "You know -they said that
when she drank 'wine it could be seen,
"through the transparency of her
throat."
"I don't think, if ]; drank ink, it
should show," .Mary Kate said amus•
wily.
"You ask me when we sail? We
sail on . Sunday," , said the Countess
heavily, in a pause. • "We go to my
eountry--to Russia, where my girl
will marry with her cousin. He have
ne money--his'property.is taken away
by the revolutionists—bot what can he
do?' If, nine lives' are not here, he
will be Tsar!".
The daughter, who spoke English
at least as well as her mother, now
proudly aid protestingly interposed a
few rapid svords in her own tongue,
and glancing. seornfu:ly about her at
the company, lapsed into silence again.
"My girl say that be is too old, he
is fifty, he have a boy of twenty," the
Countess interpreted: "Bot—she will
marry him!"' •
-"Say, Gordon," Christopher said
suddenly "you know that little bit of
business I told you about today?"
"Yep.. Howd it go?" Gordon. Roun-
tree asked, with his; nervous,'charae,

over the Arctic ico,and over the snows
at the South Pole, will try; next May.
or June, to reach .the top of the world
by the undersea route, using a -convert-
ed United States submarine of an oh
Solete type. it is undoubtedly the
most daring venture projected in the
long history of exploration,
when the idea was fret advanced
last Spring on Sir Hubert's return
from Deceptimi Island in. the Antarc-
tic, it was received with•eaeptical,cam'
ment iu many quarters; The sheer
romance of it was too much for- even
the most -imaginative, but after Sir
Hilbert went into .details ofd the plan
many ;of tiie skeptics seemed to yield.
;=Ie made it sound quite Possible.
"The idea may sound fantastic," Sir
Hebert:declared,:"but I have given Wm
great deal of time and study and F: am
certain It can be carried to-a.success-
fui conclusion. I remember that when
T
ant spoke of a flight ogee thepolar
regions some experts in aviation said
such a feat was,not feasible; that the
winds and ice •could not be over'come;.
but they were.' .
Last May, the explorer applied to
the U,S. Navy Department for permis-
sion to use the subinarino 0-12 for:the
expetlltion. , The .yessel, hardly more
than a relic' when compared with the
latest types of undersea craft, was
then, out of commission in the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, but Sir Subert ex-
plained that with. a few .alterations he.
couldput ie into shape for his trip
through the -ice Arctic waters.
Through Lieut. Commander Sloan
Danenhowei; a reserve (Meer in the
Malted. States. Navy, who will serve as
master of•the 0.12_when site pats out
to sea tor the trip North next Spring,
Sir Hubert got swift action on his ap-
plication. Asa rule such a transac-
tion Involves considerable red tape,
but Assistant Secretary of the Navy
John Jahnke was intrigued with the
plan. "It Is an undertaking that will
bring Jules "Verne Into Ilse twentieth

After making it clear that the 0-12
must be returned to the cavy before
Ju13' 1, 1936, so that it ntay be scrap-

tate London naval treaty, Secretat'y
Adams sigued the order and President
Hoover put his signature to it. The
subsea boat was transferred to the
Shipping Board, which in turn charter-
ed It to the expedition at a nominal
rental of $1 a year. The contract.
states that the 0-12 is to be used for
an "international geographical inves-
tigation,"
Full permission was grouted for the
alterations contemplated by Sir Hu-
bert. Instead of the ordinary conning
tower the 0.12 wil have . a specially
conatt'tictecl telescopic type capable of•
boring through soft ice. In addition it

he sant, "Tire ice is seldom unbroken
for more Mei from twenty to twenty -
Jive miles, and I am certain that we
will be able to find open water almost
everywhere when we find lt,necessary
to come up. We win: isave to come
to the surface at intervals to renew
our air, discharge engine exhausts and
recharge our batteries."
In a letter to the Navy Department
he explained that "there are uo ice-
bergs of great size in the region
where 'the 0-12 will travel." These
form mach lower down, after drifting
out of the polar sea. He maintains
that more than one•fourth the dis•
ranee from Alaska to Epitzbergen can
be traversed in open 'water and that
on much of the rest of the route the
depth of the Ice will not exceed ten
foot,
During the World War, British and
Germau submarines navigated under
the ice in -Scandinavian and Finnish
waters and •though they never went
as far north as the .0.12 will be pushed
they were able, without 'Special equip-

beyond that time the hazards will be
neittiy Increased, hilt Sir Hubert is
confident that Ile will get out before
Winter descends on the peter sea.
"Even in Winter',' the explorer said,
"the paler ice pack Is seldom morn
than ten feet deep. when the freeze
starts late It sometimes averages only
three feet. In Summer, after the thaw
starts, the ice pack is so thin that it
should be easy for specially built sub-
marines to thrust their periscopes and
upper hull through, especially in cer-
tain lanes."
I explaining the purpose of the ex
pedition, he said:
"The primary objectives of polar ex-
ploration are to determine the mineral
content of the Arctic and Antarctic
continents esti to study the meteoro-
logical conditions that influence the
weather all ever the globe. We know
that the Antarctic region cools the Pa-
cific Ocean and that the winds from
the Pacific affect the temperature even
as far north as the opposite Pole --at
least, to some extent. But We want
to know more. If our 'Arctic voyage
is successful our next study will take
ue along the greatest unexplored coast-
line of the world—the eastern edge
of the Antarctic.'
Vilhjalmnr Stet:me l is said to
have been the first man to develop the
idea of approaching the mysteries of
the polar sea with the atcl of the sub-
marine. He discussed 1t with Sir
Hubert when they were in the Arctic
in the ill-fated Karhsk, and he elabor-
ated it in his "Northward Course of
Empire.' Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew
over the North Polo in the Norge with
the Amundsen party, is one of the
backers of the 'Wilkins International
Transpolar Submarine Expedition.
Whether lie will accompany the ex-
pedition has not been definitely de-
4Rided.

"Coed heavens, man,' said the doc-
tor, "what ever have 700 been using?"
"I've been having a heavy meal,
doctor," explained Brown breatbless-
ly,
"Heavy meal," echoed the outer.
"haven't I often told you not to burry
after partaking of a heavy meal?"
"Certainly you have," Brown agreed,
"But on this occasion I had to."
"Had to! Why?" asked the doctor.
His patient looped nerveuely at the
door.
"Because I couldn't pay for it," he
