The oddest character, as well os tha
oildest figure, in the bird world, la tha
penguin, whose principal home happens,
also, to be the strangest land on the
earth the Antarctic continent. 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

TENTH EPISODE.
A Prisoner on the Yacht.
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

the easy rocking of the craft. She shud

out at the barely moving lights along
shore. The portholes were too small to
let her shoulders through. She ran to

dosed it and held the knob as Tommy

June sat on the couch in her state room,
with her hundx lo K.'J upon, her knees,

j'atout, plump bodies, Tholr black coats,

barbs, taper behind to a point which

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

the accumulation of the materials, which
he heaps up on the snow at the selected
spot, leaving the work of putting them

stated the facts, for in his search for
building atone he "deliberately takes
the most useful stones from another nest

a man's arms, are useless for flying, and,

There was but one conclusion among

Notwithstanding the shortness of his legs

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."

a sweeping gesture he pointed to that ad

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.

Hilarity. Behold, here Is the maid of

then, shall she go?"
"Dunna."
The maid of the charming mademoiselle
now stepped forward.
"Can you drive a motorboat?" she
asked.

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.
