Earth a Pyramid In shape.

Since the earth was first formed
many theories have been advanced as
to its shape and the process of its
formation. but no one until our day
ever maintained that its form was that
of a huge pyramid Centuries ago Py-
thagoras and Aristotle declared that it
was spherical. AnaNimander that it
was shaped like column, Democritus
that it was concaye disc and very
much resembled huge porringer, En-
pedocles and Anaximenes that it was a
plane disk, and Zenofanes that it had
roots like a tree, which spread in ali
directions far into the infinite. Now
comes ]. Greene, an English scientist,
and government official in the Sand
wich islands, with the bold announce
ment that all these ancient theories, AS
well as the modern ones, are utterly
baseless, since. according to him, the
earth has the form of triangular py-
ramid, or, in other words, of regular
tetrahedron, with the apex at the south
pole and the base at the north.

The gentlemen did not look as II
they were inclined to follow. They
left the window with evident reluc-

der Maxwell's escort, went to the
rawing-oom.
Here they found william with Flor
ence, the latter half-bewildered by the
rapidity with which events had fol-
lowed each other. While waiting in
terrible anxiety for news, her imag-
nation conjuring up the most terri
BILE possibilities, Roland suddenly
stood before her. free and unharmed,
and in hurried words told her that
she must be ready TO be married at
once.
He had at last entered with the ut
most zeal into Maxwells bold plan,
which had at first seemed out of the
question. II was really the only way
TO secure his bride and prevent any
later intrigues of Edward. He had
an inviolate right to claim his wife.
Happen what might In Springfield, she
belonged TO him alone. The brief de-
lay which would be caused by the cere-
mony was really not so dangerous as
IL seemed. Captain Wilson could hard
ly have reached the city, and the es-
cort would not arrive before evening.

made a strong impression. and the

fastened to obey, while the doctor
proceeded to exchange the courtesies

the husband himself puffs even more

Eventually a corner of the table is

the utmost readiness to oblige, In
stantIy consented to crafty your
wish"
William looked at the magistrate,
whose pale face and shaking knees
distinctly showed how he had been
induced to show this vaunted obiig-
ingness. The affair, which afforded
his friend a malicious satisfaction, was
extremely painful to him.
Calm yourself, SIR" he said, ap-
preaching him. You are perfectly
safe. Neither you nor your compan-
ion needs fear. deeply regret that
we were forced to put the request in
such a form, but the circumstances
compelled it. AS soon as the wedding
is over, you can return to the city"
The old gentleman again breathed
freely. He had imagined the lieuten-
ant a far more terrible parsonage than
the doctor, and now he proved to be
the more humane OF the two. But Mr..
Thompson preferred to place himself
close to Miss Harrison as quickly as
possible. II he stood close by her
side, no one could fire at him.
Meanwhile, Maxwell had given the
marriage contract, which had been
handed to him, a brief, yet thorough
scrutiny. and now again laid it on
the table.
Everything Is correct" he said.

The magistrate had SO far recovered
that he could commence the cere-
mony, which was performed very
quickly, but in strict legal form. The
usual questions were asked and an
swered, the signatures were affixed,
and in less than ten minutes the we'd

where Ralph had appeared during the
last moment, but remained standing
motionless in order not to interrupt
the ceremony. The doctor exchanged
a few words with him in a low tone,
then turned to the young couple.
Mrs. Roland. please go to your
father. William, you can accompany
your wife. There is no fear that your
presence will disturb the sick man

A significant glance emphasized the
words. William understood that the
last moments of Mr.. Harrison's life
were at hand, and putting his arm
around his wife he led her to her
dying father.
