Using low power and short wave lengths, the Bowdoin communicated with several stations In the United States while the ship was frozen in thousands of miles away. Broadcasting concerts from the United States stations were heard during the long, dark nights of the Arctic zone. The call letters were WNP, the slogan was Wireless North Tole, and the power was about 500 watts.

THE age of forty-fivRaymond ATCrawford had "made his pile" e Wall street and was a nervous wreck. The doctors told him that unless he foreswore stock tickers, read the sporting page Instead of the financial news In the papers, and went to live In the country, where he could hoe In a garden and delve In a flower and bed, his days were numbered the numbers did not run very high. Raymond was scared; and being a bachelor with no wife to consult, betook himself to the quiet and rather aristocratic village of Evandale, and began raising dahlias and green peas. In a years time his doctor told him that It was safe for him to snap into the game again." But Raymond had acquired a taste for country life and Then came stayed on in Evandale. Mrs. C. Nicholson Parsons. When she leased Rosebank Place It was taken for granted that she was a widow and a rich one, too for It took money to live in Rosebank Place. But Mrs. Matteson Childers, who was the first to call, broadcasted the Information that Mrs. Parsons had a husband absent In Hongkong on business and a fifteen-year-ol- d daughter at boarding school. Of the previous life of Mrs. Parsons all that Mrs. Childers had elicited was the fact that she had lived In New York. She has a picture of her daughter in the morning room," reported Mrs. Childers, a beautiful girl very like her mother. Everybody followed the lead of Mrs. Childers and called. Mrs. Parsons gave dinners and teas in a manner which showed that she was a mistress of the social arts. The men all pronounced her a most As for Raymond attractive woman. Crawford, he was always dangling about her. At first the women said: What a pity Mrs. Parsons Is already married what a suitable husband Mr. Then Crawford would make her ! they began to say that he ought to he ashamed of himself; and then that she ought to be ashamed of herself a married woman ! The summer began to wane and In Parsons boarding-schoo- l daughter did not appear In Evandale on a visit to her mother; the explanation that she was visiting friends In Maine, was not satisfactory. Mrs. Addison Calkins, who hud a second cousin who was a missionary In Hongkong, wrote to him asking if he knew anything of one C. Nicholson Parsons ; Mrs. and got a letter back saying he had never heard of such a person. Mrs. Daniel Warburton, calling at Rosebank Place one day, picked up from the floor, while awaiting the appearance of Mrs. Parsons, a birthday card on which was written: To Clara on her thirty-firs- t birthday and put it In her pocket for evidence. This did not agree very well with a flfteen-year-olMrs. Lathrop was sure daughter. that Mrs. Parsons had given Mildred" as the name of her daughter, while Mrs. Higginson was equally positive that she had spoken of her as Genevieve. In short, from an admired ornament of Evandale society, Mrs. Parsons became a dark and sinful mystery. People invited to her dinners now or nothing at all. sent regrets With the men Mrs. Parsons suffered no diminution of popularity but their manner toward her, somehow, seemed to have suffered some subtle change. Only Raymond Crawford remained the same. Clara, said he one day when he came upon her sitting alone In a little summer house on the Rosebank grounds crying softly, dort you think you have carried this little adventure of yours far enough?" Oh, she gasped, so you knew me all along! I knew you, of course; but thought you had forgotten me." Forgotten you?" he replied. "Not much !

Today this noble creature has taken Its place along with ths other outstanding Bgures of tha romantic pioneer days of early Texas. The foundation and basis of ths states greatest Industries, ths nucleus of a thousand herds upon a thousand hills In years gone by, and e ths pride of the range, is today but a memory, succeeded by a fat, sleek tribe of Herefords and other breeds that graze the open range. A What changes time can bring! glance Into the past and the mind sees the march of events In a never-endin- g panorama passing before the eyes. The day of the Indian and the buffalo, long since passed Into oblivion; the advent of the longhorn steer, the birth of the great cattle Industry and then the passing of a creature that brought ths great West through the days of hardship. Whether or not there was any direct connection between this valedictory and the action taken recently by the Texas Folklore society Is unknown, but the fact remains that It was a statement of what was In the minds of many Texans the fact that a picturesque animal and one which had played an Important role In the history of the Lone Star state was In So the Texas danger of extinction. Folklore society at Its meeting this year passed a resolution recommend-tn- g that the legislature appropriate sufficient funds and provide adequate means to preserve In Its purity for future generations the Texas longhorn breed the most historic breed of cattle the world has ever known. Back of this resolution Is the movement to save the longhorn by collecting as many as possible of the survivors and placlDg them upon a A start toward preserve. that already has been made. The nucleus of a herd has recently been placed In the Wichita National Forest reserve by Will C. Barnes, a veteran cowman, now connected with the forest service of the United States Department of Agriculture. So It appears now that the Texas longhorn Is to escape the extinction which once threatened the buffalo, had not the American people been aroused to the danger just In time. Not long ago a newspaper dispatch stated that a herd of 2,000 Texas longhorns had been shipped from south Texas to Kansas, but who should be In a position to know, declare that It Is doubtful If a tenth of that number of genuine longhorns could be found If a census were taken. show or rodeo Nearly every wild-weexhibition company has a few and there are a few running wild In various western states, especially their native heath of Texas. But, say the the true longhorn Is so scarce that It Is now a curiosity even to the cattlemen of Texas. And these are all that are left of the thousands that the Texas plains once knew. Just where the longhorn originated is unknown. Tradition has it that they descended from the original herd of Spanish cattle which stocked the ranch of Hernando Cortez, conqueror of Mexico, on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, nearly 400 years ago. They were a hardy, rangy, breed, whose long horns enubled them I- - one-tim- well-protect- old-timer- s, s, fleet-foote- d e, Jokes on them."

When the Mexican ranch owners were driven out cf the lower border of Texas after the Texans had won their Independence In 1830, many thousands of these cattle roamed the wilderness for a quarter of a century. They were almost as wild as deer of ranches when the In that region took place. Even then they were never domesticated In the true sense of the word, and when the d Civil war called nearly all of the men of the I.one Star state away to battlefields In other states and left the herds In charge of boys and old men, the longhorns began to break away from what little civilization they had known and run wild again. The rounding up of these wild herds and driving them overland to Kansns shipping towns In the late sixties marked the beginning of the epic cattle trade and laid the foundations of Texas prosperity. It Is Interesting to note that Texas not only 1b making an effort to save the longhorn from extinction, bnt that It is preserving Its memory In another Without branding, successful way. operation of the cattle business would have been Impossible, for Mexican cattle thieves and dishonest ranch owners would have got away with the herds in short order, had It not been for the stamp of pr iprletorshlp emblazoned In bold characters on the hide of the animals. So Texas Is commemorating the longhorn and the brand he wore with the unique Idea of "branding Garrison hall, the new classroom building at the University of Texas, with the symbols of Texas' greatest Industry.

The full history of these brands would fill volumes, but here are soma of the outstanding facts connected with some of the better known ones: 5 S. B. Burnett, whose brand of the four sixes resulted from his winning a large ranch In a poker game In which he held four of a kind. 9 Jose Antonio de la Garza, the oldest brand, was obtained from the Spanish government by Leonardo de la Garza, June 23, 1762. 11 A. H.

Their holdings covered ten counties and Included three million acres, given In payment for the state capitol building at Austin. 13 C. O.

A. Maverick, whose name Is applied to any cattle that bear no brand. He bought a small herd In the 40s, but a negro e employed was so careless that he had to sell the few that remained from the hundreds stolen by rustlers. 31 W. T.
