for a moment over the elder mans
face, only to pass away. He started
10 speak, but messenger opened the
door and handed Walker telegram.
He tore it open and read:
Percy Smith and l were married
an hour ago. He has no parents. For
give me. Belle Dumont Smith,"
The young mans lips quivered, his
face turned white, he read the tele-
gram again, half dazed. The father
held out his hand, and the young man
passed him the telegram. The elder
man read it. The expression on his
face passed from indignation to scorn,
to contempt, to rigid unfeeling. He
passed it back.
"You made your decision" he said.
He passed the will to the secretary
File it."

BEST POSITION FOR WORK.
Facing the East Is Recommended by
an Authority.

racing the East Is Recommended by
an Authority.
To test the truth of the assertions
Of many persons that they sleep bet
ter with their heads pointing to the
north, work better facing the east, and
so on, DR.. Charles Fere, who is well
known for his studies in physiological
psychology, has constructed a delicate
machine which he calls an ergograph,
with which he has achieved some in
teresting results. This machine reg
listers the number, rapidity and quail
ity Of the movements of the index fin
ger when writing or performing any
accustomed work.
He announces that his experiments
with it prove that work done by per-
son facing the west or east is better
by rs per cent than similar work done
by person facing the north or south,
and that when working facing the
west 1t is about 25 per cent better than
when facing the east.
This matter of orientation seems to
have an influence upon the nervous
system. due largely, it is believed, to
the fact that the earth is a gigantic
magnet. Many learned men have no
ticed that they sleep best with the
head to the north and work better
facing the west, while at least one
famous pianist finds he plays with
the greatest ease when the piano
faces the east.
It may be that the great migrations
of the human race, all of which have
been from east to west, and the OBJ
served tendency of trees to develop
in the same general direction are in
some way related to these phenomena.

"And love him too we'll to injure his
prospects-and yet, what can | do?"
Smith did not know, and neither
did she, but he promised to come over
that night to talk 1t over with her and
had dim notion of putting Walker
up in business for himself, if his faith
er cut him off," and promised to tell
her about 1t, and see If she thought
Walker would like the plan. Then
Graham returned, and soon the two
left. Graham went back moment to
say goodby alone, and as he looked
into those clear blue eyes he promised
that nothing should come between
them. And then the two young men
entered the hanson and rode back to
town, each one in a spell of admira-
ton and sympathy, and both silent.
The next morning as Graham was
waiting for his gig to drive over and
take Belle for ride across the boule-
ward and through the park, there
came telephone call summoning him
at once to his banker fathers office.
Graham Pater was alone except for
his private secretary, a slim, sallow
young man, who had given all the soul
he had to his work. Every great man
has just such a secretary and de-
mands just so much soul. The secre-
tary sells his soul at so much per and
holds his job, and learns to eat at sec
ond-class restaurants, and travel in
Pullman coaches. The work and sec
ondclass restaurants and Pullman
coaches take the place of the soul UNI
til the great Reckonlng-and perhaps
they do then.
The Elder Graham wore his most
sanctimonious lOok-whlch was most
terrible and awe.inspiring. He held
a parchment in his hand. He ad
dressed his son:
II have just made my will, Walker

Walker nodded, and took tall
leather chair opposite the fiat mahog.

The young man was silent.
What are you going to do?" In.

II the Elder Graham had softened;
II he had shown one sign Of affection
or of sympathy. But he never had, so
he could not begin then.
You're a fool, was what he said.
"Will | let that woman, divorced for

and intimate terms?"
"She is a lady. She has merely

Why? Well, with the refracting kind
Of instrumental being necessary
that all telescopes should be operated
in the same temperature as the
warmth or chill outside-the operator
must, of course, do his observing in
the cold if good night for star study
should happen to be frosty. These
telescopes are mounted indoors, and
the mechanism which swings the
great cylinder to keep the glass on the
object also swings the observer.
The reflector telescope may be
mounted outside and be operated from
inside. This is made possible by
system of mirrors which enables the
operator, in a fixed position indoors,
to keep the object in view while the
telescope swings to keep in touch with
the object.

Preparations are being made at the
Harvard observatory for the emplace-
ment of the largest practical reflector
telescope in the world. There is a
larger one in Ireland, but it is said to
be unsatisfactory. The Lick and
Yerkes telescopes are big and power
full, but they are refracting telescopes,
the distinction between the two being
that there Is no tense at the receiving
end of reflector for the light to pass
through.
This new engine for pulling secrets

lished at Harvard out of doors, the
telescope being encased in a long
