His next stunt is to see the South Pole, and find out if it is as high as a' lamppost. At one time he wondered whether there would be a little trough ol water at its base, with the kindly invitation to “Drink, puppy, drink.” But that does not now seem to be likely, because the cold weather there would freeze the water into ice. The little birds on Quarantine Island are whispering that the great Rin Tin Tin has fallen in love. If he has it is a great secret. At any rato, our reporter noticed he was wearing a dean collar and that there was not a hair out of place. There is no doubt about Bin Tin Tin having mot the charming niece of the famous Chinook on the island. After he returns from the South Pole their engagement may be officially announced, but meantime they are not saying a word about it. They both come of good families. Chinook and Skookum are two of the most remarkable names in North America, and their ancestors seem to have been related to the great Lobo family. That is rightly regarded as “some” lineage, llin Tin Tin is, of cvwe, Ntly a stage name. Meanwhile that famous huskie is pleased to see all his young friends during the Christmas and New Year holidays, and his address is Quarantine Island via ferry steamer.
