The general law of aqueous preeipi
tation may he briefly stated. Whatever
lowers the temperature Of the air TT
any place below the dew point is Il
cause of rain Various causes may
consplre to effect this object, but 1t is
chiefly brought about by the ascent OF
the air Into the higher regions Of tie
atmosphere, by which, being suljeeted
to less pressure, 1t expands and in ID
Ing SO lowers its temperature. These
ascending currents are caused BY Tho
heating of the earth's surface by the
suns rays or, in fact, by anytlha@
which raises the temperature of the
superintendent air, I'D 1t is very Oh
vious that the continual discharge o.
large pieces of ordnance Will hive a
considerable effect In raising the ten
perature OF the air lying on the earth ;
surface. which viii ascend. expand AM
discharge in aqueous particles in tn
form of rain for the foregoing rea

After Seven
Years *
By Belle Maniates

In the palm room Of the Waldorf
at table partially obscured by pot
of palms sat John Browning He was
a man well past his first youth, of
form erect and face bronZed by the
sun that burned upon tropical battle
fields. From his rather remote cor
ner he scanned with interest every one
who entered.
After seven years" he thought, 81
shouldn't expect to meet any acquaint-
ances, but-ah, what luckr
A party of four were seating them
selves at table near-a man and WON
an of middle age, a beautiful young
woman with eyes that matched the
yiolets she carried and a lemon faced
youth receding of chin and swinish of
eye.
Browning was about to start for
ward when n voice at the nearest table
spoke in subdued, but carrying tones:
LYLE Vaughn's fiance. The engage
ment is conceded, though not an
nounced."
John Browning resumed his seat.
ut would have been far better" he
thought IF | had not called halt
on her affection for the trapper. Any
thing but this specimen! He is link
below the missing one"
One Of the voices at the next table
again had a hearing:
Il admit he is not a bowling success
as to looks. but he has millions and
antecedents."
John Browning scowled and con
tinued his cogitations.
"Seven yeas since Lyle had her first
little ripple of romance which l ended
I'll again be q disturber of dreams
or nightmares. | have a spur to her
memory In my pocket now. odd 1t
should have reached me today
He drew from his pocket news
paper clipping which he gave to a wait
err with instructions as to delivery.
The violet eyed woman looked up in
amazement at the waiter and then her
gaze again fell on the paper. 1t was
four line local giving the number
of licenses issued to date to deer hunt
ers In northern Michigan.
When she had read 1t she looked
around. Then she rose, and he hur-
ried to her with outstretched hand.
LYLE! Little Lyle Vaughn he SAID
In a soft, caressing voice that his com
mand would have failed to recognize.
John Browning! Now do l believe
in the resurrection
Her father and mother claimed his
attention, and after his presentation to
Herbert Stuyvesant he seated himself
beside Lyle.
The waiter again approached and
handed Stuyvesant telegram.
"My mother has another of her at
tacks," explained Stuyvesant to Mrs
Vaughn, and. with a lingering glance
at Lyle's impressive features. he took a
reluctant departure.
Mrs. Vaughn at once gave Browning
an elaborate and profuse description OF
Stuyvesant's fortune and prospects.
"The lady doth protest too much"
The Somerset reporter., 1904-10-13

thought John Browning, noting with
amusement and satisfaction the inf
mite boredom in Lyle's face, an ex-
preston dimly reflected in her fathers
quiet, even features.

insisted Mr.. Vaughn as they were
leaving. II don't care how late 1t is.

and the wars"
80 do l." chimed In Lyle.
When they reached the house Mrs.
Vaughn pleaded headache. The 9th
ers sat by the open fire In the library.
Soon the soft, blue veil of good cigars
invoked a wondrous tale of adventure
from John Browning. Back in the
shadows Lyle listened and followed
over battlefields and African farms.

laughed Lyle, following him into the
hall you've been very good to papa

And Mr.. Herbert Stuyvesant won't

She was little discounted by his
steady gaze.
Il overheard some people in the palm
room say he was your fance."

awake nights fearing he won't be

"Who sent you the clipping3"
"Plympton. lie still hunts in Mich

1t was very late when John Brown
ing reached his hotel, but he did not
go to bed until he had lighted a cigar
and lived over again the deer bunting
season Of seven years ago which
party of eastern people, including
Vaughn, Lyle and himself, had spent
In northern Michigan.
Those were halcyon days when he
and Lyle had tramped over fields light
~ brushed with snow, through thick
cts and in the brown forest In pursuit
of deer. At night they would return
tired happy and hungry to the big
cabin, ready to start out again In the
morning Lyle had ever been Il gay
little comrade with him, but up there
In the great northlnnd Of ice and snow
he began to hope that he might not be
too old, after all, to ask her to be still
more than her "Slthers friend"
at the end OIL two weeks, however,
he acknowledged to himself his mis-
take. The party had secured new
guide, handsome young Canadian
Frenchman with soft voice and lus-
trous eyes. He knew every inch of
ground and every trick of deer hunt
ing.
Lyle, romantic, willful and head
strong, took snapshots of him In ev-
cry conceivable pose. She demanded
his services on all occasions and chat
ted with him In French, language
not understood by John Browning,
who was deeply concerned at the
young girls fancy.

When her father announced to Lyle

she did not raise any objections. He
thought, though, that she seemed very

The life and light went out of the

he was glad when the season ended.
En- route for lower Michigan, he re
ceived a dispatch calling him farther

until April. lie arrived in New York
to learn that Lyle was in college. In
the latter part Of the month war with

turned to New York. This time Lyle

Then had come the war I'm Africa,
