already married"
"Oood Qod!" exclaimed Mary
"Don't worry," said Celestia, "we are
not. But I am certainly not going to
give him up on the grounds that I am
not his social equal."
"Your motives will always be under sus
picion. Don't you know that you are a
penniless girl, and that ho will bo worth
millions?"
"He never told me that," said Celestia,
"but so much the better. Honesty Is the
most usefui thing In the world, and next
cornea money."
"But to marry for money!" Miss
Blackstone expressed contempt In every
line of her firmly-cut mouth. Celestia
said nothing and looked amusedly In
scrutable. "tf he does marry you," said Miss
Blackstone, suddenly lcslng control of
her temper at the look on Celestla's face,
"people will say It was because lie had
to. Two can't camp In the North Woods
without a chaperone and escape mall
clous' talk."
"It would seem so." said Celestia
slowly. And she started to turn very
pink and ended by turning white. And
there beKan to burn suddenly in her
breast a feeling of which until that mo
ment ehe had known nothing. weet she
was, gracious and good. She thought she
had been auit by Heaven to help every
body in the. world. Nevertheless, those
nhnrp burning pangs which she was en
during were jealousy.
"You love ' him yourself." she said
quickly, "and so I think I will marry
him, after all."
"One can't argue except aith an
equal," said Mlts Blackstone, and turned
upon her heel.
Aa she left the house Tommy Steel was
on the point of entering It. She was so
angry that she cut him dead.
lie smiled, but not altogether witli
amusement, for nobody really likes to be
cut by anybody, and went in to Celestia.
He expected to find her as usual,
friendly, cool, well poised and aloof. She
was none of these things. Tears were
just going to overflow her eyes and run
down her face, and for being aloof, she
no sooner saw Tommy than she ran to
Mm, as a 'child runs to Its nurse, snd
flung her arms about his neck, and told
him that she loved him and would marry
him '.'Right away," she said.
. Poor Tommy! He held her clove and
caressed her, and there was a big lump
lnt his throat, and never a word that he
could say, until at last the meaning of
his silence was clear to Celestia and she
tore herself loose from him.
"Now It's you," she tried, who won't
marry me."
"Oh, Celestia," cried Tommy, "how can
I?" I haven't a penny in the world!"
A dozen of the most Important men In
the United States were gathered In Bar
clay's office upon his urgent Invitation.
Colestla was already making such a stir
In the city among the poor, that Barclay
and Stllllter had concluded that the time
was ripe to try her effect on the rich
and efficient. Only men whom they could
trust were present The last to arrive
was Kehr, the coal baron. His word was
as good aa his bond, and except that he
spent oceana of money on Chinese an
tiques, he was said . to be the stingiest
man in Pennsylvania.

Prof. Stllllter had been telling of some
recent experimenta In hypnotism of which
he had just received the account from
an Arabian correspondent. As Kehr en
tered he caught the word "hypnotism"
and snorted.
"All rubbish," he exclaimed. "Might's
well believe In ghosts or democrats. I'd
like to see anyone hypnotize me."
After this he shook hands with Bar
clay and the othors, lust of all 'with
Stllllter.
"You don't believe in hypotlum," said
Stllllter, "because you don't know 'any
thing about It. I've got something here,
though, that you do 1cnow about, none
better."
So saying ho took from Its case that

would chill the atmosphere down to the
earth's uurface and animal and vegetable
llfo would alike perish In the endleaa
winter of universal night.
The time mentioned nbove aa that
which would elapse after the extinction
of the sun before the earth would be
plunged in darkiieas depends, of course,
upon the speed of light, comblnod with
the distance from the sun to the earth.
According to tho table of astronomical
Constanta uped In the calculations of
the American Nautical Almanac office,
tho mean distance of the earth from the
sun Is !ii,SM,767 statute miles, while the
velocity of light Is 1WVK4 miles per
second.
IMvldlng the first number by the sec
ond, w- got, for a quotent, 4M,SilR. which
represents the number of seconds and
thousandths of a second the light re
quires to pass from the sun to the
rsrth. Plvldlng this hy W gives us the
csme period In minutes and parts of a
mlnutcw
' But It must be remembered that a
slight degree of uncertainty exists In
regard to the figures representing the
distance of the sun and the velocity of
light. The sun may be a hundred, thou
sand miles nearer, or farther, and the
velocity of light may be twenty-five
miles per second greater, or leas, than
tho flgnroa" adopted show. Htl.ll. this
would make but an extremely small
change In the time required for the pas
sage of light from sun to earth. A
quite perceptrble difference, however,
arises from tho variations In the earth's
distance from the sun, due to the eccen
tricity of the earth's orbit.
We are about S, 000,000 miles nearer the
aun at the beginning of January than at
the beginning of July, from which It fol
lows that If the sun should be put out
In summer, the cosmlo night would be
about sixteen seconda longer In reaching
the earth than it would If the extinction
occurred in winter. In the southern
hemisphere exactly the opposite state of
affairs exists, for there winter occurs
when the earth is farthest from the sun.
The fact that light requires a measur
able time to traverse long distances
makes It art agent, or Instrument, of
astronomies I research of Inestimable
value. As Prof. Young has remarked,
when we observe a celestial body we e
It not as It ia al the moment of obser
vation, but as it wss at the moment
when the light left It.
If, then, we know Its distance In astro
nomical units (the astronomical unit here
spoken of Is the earth's distance fron
the euni, and also know how long light
takes to traverse that unit, we can at
mre correct our observation by simply
dating It hark to the time when Its light
started from the object. This correction
la called tho "equation of light," and the
time required for light to traverse the
artronomlcal unit of distance la called
the "constant of the light-equation,"
nmountlng, as stated before, to 41W.MI
se .-onds.
To understand the sfplleatton ef thla
suppose thst we take some star which
attracts our attention by Its beauty tt
Its brlllliince. We say to onreelve. with
a glow of Intellectual enthusiasm: "Be
hold that mighty aun. whoae golden rays
are so much richer than our daylight'
ran anybody doubt that there are worlds
around it enjoying Its genial warmth?"
Whereupon an astronomer may correct
us with the remark: "What yeu say
about that magnificent, but distant, sun
Is very- probably true, but you should
peak In the past tanse, for the light by
which you aee It left Its surface long
years ago, and, though It atlll appears to
he shining in the sky. It mar ia reality
hare ceaaed to exiat."
Regarded In this way, the starry heav
ens exhibit a perspective of time. When
we look at the nearer stars we se back
ward one. two. three or four yeara; when
we look deeper, we see backward In time
ten or twenty years, and when, with the
aid of the mightiest Instruments yet de
nlsert, we plunge Into the prefoundeat
depths of the universe, we behold the
starry hosts aa they existed thousands of
years ago. Kor all that we can tell, those
stars may have "fallen like laavea In
wintry weather" long before the pyra
mlda of Kgypt were erected,' but the light
that left tl'em while they were yet alive
with radiance has speeded steadily on.

Dear Mlaa Fairfax: I am a young man
3u years of age and I live with my folks.
1 .am a. hard laborer, working almost
every waek, and 1 could say that my
slater and I support our family. On Sun
days I usually ge out with my friends to
have some enjuymeut, and ray parents
are trying to deprive me of that K'nd of
freedom. And whenever I go out with a
girl friend they criticise her to such an
extent that I lose my sympathy and
coursge to go out with her next time.
Finally I had a quarrel with' them and
decided to leave the house. HOPELESS.
Be considerate of your parenta. If they
are old and In need of your support, can
you not see how natural It is for them
to dread your' getting Into wild or ex
travagant company and contracting, bad
habits? Tell them very gcrtly that you do
your work better for a little) relaxation
In your free house and that they oaa
trust you to .seek only innocent enjoy
ment and worth-while frlenda, Don't
leave home. I am sure thst if you art
fair to your elders you can win them erei
to a more generous viewpoint where yea
are eonoerned.
