A HAIRLESS GENIUS

spice of the unusual procedure, favored
by a certain curiosity, led Nora to receive
him graciously, if with a not unnatural
shyness arising from the innuendos of
my letter and Hooper's own persistence
in seeking the renCounter.
He lost no time in tackling the sub
iect for which she had accorded the
rendezvous. Once they were seated in
the box, Hooper plunged into a clear,
decisive, and to any ears save those OF
woman in love, convincing history of
Karl's sixth sense and its latest astOund-
ing developments. Though she pro-
tested vehemently, and threatened
Though probably not in earnest in this to
leave the theater, Hooper spared her no
shred of the evidence which proved that
Karl was killing himself on her account.
Never did nice young man carry out
a harder self-imposed ordeal with nice
young woman than Hooper that evening
in his impassioned plea to Nora Cazenove
for his friends life.
Il never let up on her an instant" he
said in his own picturesque way. We

Generally speaking, its eastern coast-line
and its western coast-line fit into each
other SO naturally and so symmetricallv
that they seem to be parts of a torn fabric
This is 50 greatly true that it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that they were
torn apart; that when some great cata-
Clysm occurred where the bed of the
Pacific now is the newly formed crust of
the earth was 50 torn apart and shifted
that the rent formed the bed of the
Atlantic as the departing mass formed
the circular bed of the Pacific. When the
earth had sufficiently cooled for water to
condense these two depressions appear
to have filed and to have thus formed
our two great oceans. If the reader will
take an ordinary terrestrial globe and
draw a line from the southern point of
Nova Scotia to the coast of Dutch Guiana,
and then suppose all the region west of
this line to be land, as appears to have
once been the case, the way in which the
two sides of the Atlantic fit together will
strikingly appear.
In further support of the theory is the
strong probability that the earth's sur
face was solid when the moon was created,
and the certainty, this being 50, that the
catastrophe would have left permanent
scar Biologists are not unanimous re-
garding these questions, but the majority

For gowns his wife buys day by day,
All he is willing, quite, to say
