coutended. in opposition to the views
OF the district attorney, that this sec

II Is upon this section that the sec

&ahla. the Hike of which none Of that

table. the Ike Of which none Of that
humble party had ever looked upon. But
it was a kindly madness that possessed
the host of that bountiful dinner, for
his stories were Of the pleasantest and
his watchful care was unfagging. His
guests rewarded his efforts by a sponta-
neous enjoyment of all that was set be-
fore them. 1t was good to see them
wait upon blind Jonas, who could not
help himself, and upon lame Betty.
whose crippled hands made difficult the
use of knife and fork.
Talbot rose to replenish a half-emptied
plate as the hall bell thrilled merrily.
There was a pause; then James quiet,
well-trained voice said: ''Yes, madam;
he is at dinner in the studio.''
The door swung inward. Talbot knew
that he was not dreaming when she
came toward him with Outstretched
hands and a ripple of explanation of
which he heard not one word. Indeed.
to him one isolated fact filled the world
that she was smiling up at him with a
great promise in her eyes.
"a little friend of mine wanted to
give her friends Christmas dinner, and
l persuaded her to let me share it," he
explained jauntily. 1T has been a great
treat to me-"
Miss Wakefield read the whole truth
for herself as she looked into the good,
homely faces that reflected their hosts
praises in every glance. She said moth
ing, but her eyes told what Talbot would
have given all he possessed to hear from
her lips. Then Mr.. Wakefield and his
wife ventured in. and Talbot bethought
himself to ask if they had Lined, which
they had not.
Lou and Talbot made room for three
plates here and there, and as there was
a plenty of crullers and turkey and icet
cream, all went well to the very end of
the function, when the eleven originally
invited guests rose and made their
faces.
Miss Wakefield stood before the crate
while her brother and his wife examined
a row of pictures half hidden behind the
holly wreaths.
II was so sorry to disappoint you yes
terday," she said. ''but poor Ted's tele-
gram was so urgent that we were afraid
he was worse, and hadn't the heart to
refuse him. When discovered that we
could take an early train home l made
up my mind to run in and wish you a
Merry Christmas, anyway, and so we
came. you see."
Talbot thought of the ring. He had
taken it from its hiding place. ''For a
long while l have wanted to ask you to
accept this-and what goes with it," he
said simply, holding the glittering bauble
toward her.
A red glow crept into her face She
made no audible answer, but when the
young couple at the other end of the
room sauntered toward them they were
smiling.

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES
How the Danger of Parlor Co1flagra.
tions May Be Minimized.

Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact, appar-
ent only on that day, that the Christ
mas tree is quite as dangerous as it is
pretty, and that the proud father per-
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution to equip himself with asbes-
tos whiskers. About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as result of the intlammable ma
ture of the Christmas tree and its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis-
tolls is raised after the Fourth of July.
OF course no rose is free from thorns,
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served in the conventional fashion with
out risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Sputtering candles on a Christmas tree
are very real danger, and the same may
be said of the trees themselves, the
wreaths of evergreen and the mistletoe
After a day or two they become dry and
inf1ammable to a high degree, and in the
joy of the celebratiO risks are run and
precautions neglected. A tree thus load
ed down with presents and decorations
may become in an instant a torch capa-
BILE of starting disastrous fire, as many
cities discovered the other day, to their
great cost and to the serious discomfort
of their fire departments.
By taking preventive measures thou
sands of dollars will be saved every year.
Trees should be bought late and kept
out doors until used. In the case of
fresh, green trees the risk will be min
imized. Candles should not be too close
together and should be constantly watch
ed. Above all, a wet blanket should
be at hand, also sponge on pole long
enough to reach any point of the t:ees
or ceiling. So. at least. say the fire
fighters. who every year have their own
Christmas spoiled by the neglect of these
very obvious precautions.

How many of the countless pupils
who struggle with the decimal frac-
tons in their school lessons are aware
that the source Of their troubles was
"a fatal book" written by a medieval
mathematician at the court Of Ma
hommedan king, the famous and su-
perb Al-Mamoun, son of Harun-al-
Rashid, the calf who is immortalized
in the ARABIAN Nights Entertain
mentY
The name Of this worthy-the med
iaeval mathematician-wa Mahom-
med Al-Khorawazim1, or Mahommed
Of Khoresan. He lived and wrote In
the early period of the ninth century.
He is 1.-The father Of modern arithme-
tic" and was a great light in his
time. But his fame is clouded by one
huge blunder that he made-the blum
der of having stopped counting too
soon.
If he had not stopped and turned
when he counted ten, but instead had
kept ON and turned at the twelve, he
would have started the duodecimal
system and conferred a priceless boon
on humanity. Although he has been
dead a thousand years, the so-called
'blunder" of the old Arabian goes
marching on. 1t Is with us yet In the
decimal system-now regarded by the
leading mathematician of the world
as one of the greatest calamities ever
inflicted on mankind. The extent Of
this calamity may be banged from the
sensational statement Of Professor
Archibald McMurry, author Of stand
ard school books, that 1.-The American
people waste 500 years time every day
in figuring out accounts, divisions, etc.
which involve fractions that could and
would have been dealt with easily and
quickly If Khorawazimi had given US

the duodecimal instead of the decimal
SCALE"
If Khorawazimi had not stopped at
the "ten place" in the numerical scale
his name would be called blessed"
by all the great modern mathemati-
clans. But he did stop and now his
successors as mathematical authors
all of whom regret and bemoan the
untimely halt that he made-are striv-
ing with all their might to create
public sentiment that will cause the
universal adoption and Inauguration
Of the great reform that he overlooked
the substitution Of the duodecimal
for the decimal system.
What success the scholars are to
have in their crusade for "the duodeci-
mali in arithmetic is problematical.
For centuries the duodecimal has been
known in algebra and the higher math-
emat1cs, but what the great mathema-
ticians want is the introduction Of the
system into the arithmetics of the
schools and into shops, the counting
house and all the commercial and trad
ing institutions Of the people. In any
gathering Of mathematical teachers
may be found a strong sentiment for
the popular displacement Of the deci-
NAL by the duodecimal system.
Deep-rooted though the decimal sys-
tenn is in the practical life of the peo-
pie, the duodecimalists are not dis
Outraged. They believe they see an
awakening. No less than five Of the
most eminent mathematicians in the
land who came together by chance the
other day at the University of Chi
cago expressed themselves as satisfied
that the time is approaching when the
public interests will become so enor-
nous that the duodecimal system will |
not only be conceded as superior to the
cumbersome decimal system, but will |
become an actual public necessity
