Some new facts about, tills queer bird have just been mad known by Dr. Murray Levick, the aoologlet of Captain Scott's tragic expedition to the South Pole. Penguins have always awukene.l both surprise and amusement In the minds of Antarctic explorers, because of their astonishing resemblance, when sren at m little distance, to a ecn-pany of short legged men, attired in long, black, swallow-tail coats and snowy-white waist coats, and strutting about or standing in absurdly dignified attitudes, as if they were guests at a formal reception. They array themselves in long lones on the beaches or rocks, march with a waddling gait, and never lose their dignity. It is no wonder that acme of the early navigators In the South Seas thought, at first glance, that they had discovered a new race of savages, for penguins are found on the southern coasts of .South erica, especially around Terra del Ir'uego, and on the scattered islands of Read it Here See By special arrangement for this paper a photo-drama corresponding to the Install ments oi "Runaway June" may now ba seen at tha leading moving picture the aters.

CHAPTER I-tContinued ) There was the rattle of a donkey en gine and the scraping of chains on the yacht Hilarity. The anchor waa coming tip, and there was an Instant change In the easy rocking of the craft. She shud dered, and then there waa the sound of seeming waici as me iiimui n'ii'-iru roadway. June was on her feet In an in stant. She ran to the porthole and gaaed out at the barely moving lights along shore. The portholes were too small to let her shoulders through. She ran to (1he door and opened It stealthily, then dosed it and held the knob as Tommy Thomaa and Oii. Cunningham danced paat In the salon. j June sat on the couch in her state room, with her hundx lo K.'J upon, her knees, stating into the sLce of brightness formed by the tiling of the bath room, and while she pondered on what she should do Maria and lit nil reached the city and stopped at a telegraph office. When they cam out of that plate a short, wide, thick man who hud been waddling down the street, with the blunt tub of a cigar in one corner of hi,s mouth and a look of habitual furlivenesa in his little eyea, atarted abruptly at siKht of Marie, and whea th touring tar started the short, wide man bung on behind, his cigar stub firmly clasped between hia teeth. Tha door bell rang at the Moore home In Brynport.

As tha creature walks he has "a droll waddle and a pert movement of the head, some thing irresistibly attractive and comical." Other observers hava often remarked the ceremonious movements of the penguins, which gravely bow to one an other and go through elaborate evolu tions, aa regular and measured aa the steps of a stately dance. Thla they do with an appearance of aelf-consclouaness that is highly entertaining to the on looker. Remuikublo as fet the outward resem blance of the penguin to a human being, at least in outline, its manners and do mestic habits bear, externally, a no lesn striking likeness of the same nature. Ac cording to Dr. Levlck, the penguin's "pro posal of marriage" is an affair at least as Ingenious and suggestive as what Is found among some savages of our race. "It centers around the building of the nest, for when ho (the penguin) bus seen the lady of his choice he brlnys her a pebble. If she uccepts it, all is well, and he then proceeds to bring the stones to build the neat." But. like a true aavage, the male pen gtun limits his labors in house building to the accumulation of the materials, which he heaps up on the snow at the selected spot, leaving the work of putting them In order to his mate. He (a by nature n horsethlef, if Dr. Levlck has fairly stated the facts, for in his search for building atone he "deliberately takes the most useful stones from another nest if he can get thein away unobserved." His wings, which look at a distance like a man's arms, are useless for flying, and, in fact, are rather paddles than wings, it at the Movies. upon her breast, stifled the emotions to which Iris Blethering gave full play aa the "kidnaping" was described. There was but one conclusion among the men, and Ned, composing his voice as he parsed from the mention of Blye, utatj-il that conclusion. "it is a matter for the polite," he de clared and pUked tip the telephone. "Our daughter is In danger," said the grave voice ot Jchn Moore. fHAPTKR II. In the dock adjacent to the one from which the Hilarity's motor tender tiad I departed there pueed. almost perceptibly, a night watchman, who consisted of an overcoat, a cap and two glints of eye. To him there came, as the docks Inten sified their loneliness, a brisk little chauf feur with a thin mustache and a woman with high cheek bones. "The Hilarity!" stated the little chauf Advice to Lovelorn Uiihlr Ike l'ulie. Lear Mist Fairfax: I am a man of .'4 and am auuui to get married.

Should I bother wit'i this ,oung man Penguin In his "vnnter coat being used In diving for fiflh, In which occupation the penglun is very skillful. Notwithstanding the shortness of his legs aud his waddling gait, he tnakea long expeditions over the ice-packs and the snow fields.

'But '.when the young1 are readv fur the long journey the whole, community marches, deliberately and with dignified gravity, back to the fishing j grounds, along the Icy shores and among j tho ice-packs, the young birds following with a solemnity of bearing equal to that of the eldere. Darwin tells a counter with a "jackass penglun" at the Falkland islands. He had placed, him self between the bird and the water to see what it would do, and this is what happened: "It was a brave bird, and until reach ing the sea it regularly fought and drove me backward. Nothing less than heavy blows would have stopped him; every Inch he gained he firmly kept, atunding close before me erect and determined. When thus opposed he continually rolled his head from side to aide In a very odd manner." feur, with an arcualng tone, and with a sweeping gesture he pointed to that ad jacent dock where stood a big hamiier with the word "Hilarity" glaring white on its side. "She Is gone!" Then Henri stepped back. "Yep," rumbled a frosty voice. "But her tender." objected Henri, "also la-gone. Listen, my friend," insisted Henri, stopping in front of the overcoat and cap, but moving aside as it came Ir refutably on. "The facta are like these. Mademoiselle hae gone on board the Hilarity. Behold, here Is the maid of the charming mademoiselle. She was also to have gone on hoard tho Hilarity. How, then, shall she go?" "Dunna." The maid of the charming mademoiselle now stepped forward. "Can you drive a motorboat?" she asked. "Voila!" And Henri snapped the fingers of both hands, snapped them three times. "Voila, mademoiselle. Marie! If it goes I can drive It." "Can't we hire this boet?" and the re sourceful Marie pointed to a trim little craft. To Be Continued Tomorrow. By Beatrkt Fairfax any longer, and should 1 ik pi,,, f,,r my rinij'.'

HOItOTHV Put this man out of your thoughts and your life Think what agony the wife of a man would havo to endure if she sat waiting for him two long houre and then tie was led home drunk. If ha risks treating a girl ao before he haa won her, he would not spare her after he waa sure of her. and for hev, he x iwrlenced a few of the deflected kicks and cuffs endured by I the girls of her time. I In Martin Luther's Iday women did not teally live in thla world, because even then this world was owned by men, and, to use the not very refined expression of Sir Anthony Absolute, "all the llvestork tV.erc was on It." This Included women and children. The Fifteenth century was the age of discovery. I'olumhus had located new worlds. Ills fleet of ships was made pos albla to him by gueen Isabella, et the new world, too, was for men! How tlld men come to own the world? Woman owned aa much as mail when she was economically Independent. And that waa the Mme when aha pro vided herself and children the simple food, shelter and clothing they required. Exerclae of all faculties gives freedom. Work IS the only way to freedom. Kven after business began women had mental and physical exercise. Before the days of merchandising, barter which involved the labor of fetch ing one product and exchanging is for another waa woman'a work. When the raising of cropa caiAe as a reward for the expenditure of muscular energy, It, too, was woman's work. When "two women were grinding at ihe mill," that was wo'nan's work, All labor that could be performed with a baby accompaniment was woman's work. Manufactures carried from the home and made in factories took, away woman'a economic independence, w hich she had in her own noma. Young women cajole; old women beg. When cajolery and beggary come, In dependence and dignity take wing. And a few other things fly away with them. As the real world reoeded from woman, she made herself not a real, but a dream world. And then women guessed at life, Thev were foolish In their guesses, for they did not have facts to reason with, and facts give vigor. We play with myths, but work with facts. Sometimes, when opportunity came, slle was willing to pay the price for inde pendence, as did Sarah Bernhardt and Cleorge Kllot. Outzon Bo ib hi in has carved In stone an "Atlas."
