DAWSON.
Northwest had yielded the clews he
needed.
A sharp gust of wind swirled his
coat tails; the Professor folded the
garment closer without annoyance; a
touch of frost in the air, and clear
sunshine induced a physical sense of
wellbeing that demanded analysis,
together with the opposite deduction
that it was possible to feel otherwise
He paused on the steps of the sur
vey with a dawning sense of misgiv-
ing. Suppose that, in place of con-
firmatory evidence, the seasons work
served to weaken the foundations of
the Theory, or in any way suggested
the possibility of his critics being
right and he wrong. Even in the
home survey there were men who
d -7lbted-youths of thirty-five and
forty who based their arguments on
experience that, compared with Pro-
fessor Borthwick' s, was insignificant.
Some of them had theories of their
own, and toward these he exercised
the courtesy and tolerance becoming
in man who had forgotten more
than they ever knew. For the
Theory, so far as it went, was cir
cumstantially proved-even as the
DRY it was a laurel that had credi-
tably adorned his lifetime and would
ndoubteG y be utilized on his bust.
A side door into the building
opened to exude a couple of empty
crates, indication, therefore, that the
fossils and mineral specimens col
lected IN the past season were I'M
packed and awaiting Identification.
The Professors autumnal citation
reasserted itself, his forebodings van
ished; entering the Survey, he said
good-morning to the janitor in tone
that caused the official to note
thoughtfully that he mounted the
stairs to the next floor taking two at
time.

A spirit of hustle and regeneration
rer~aded the Survey; the field par
ties were assembling day by day from
all quarters, and exchanging speci-
mems md experiences.

Professor John Borthwick closed
his front door at ga a. M, one mo-
ment ahead of scheduled time. This
enabled him to collect a scrap OF
paper from his lawn and inter it de-

Professor Borthwick-with the al
phabet transposed after his name
walked to the end of the block and
turned the corner that brought the
buildings of the Canadian Geological
Survey into view. For generation
past he had been one of the depart
ment's shining lights; over and above
all, he was the Borthwick Theory.
1t was impossible, in scientific cir
cles, to discuss the pre-glacial period
in Polar regions without reference to
the Borthwic.l Theory. 1t permeated
the calculations of two decades of
biologists as inevitably as the knowl-
edge that certain fossils were char
acteristic of certain horizons. The
world over the Theory was discussed
and quoted, argued and dissented
from. OF course, there was dissen-
sioG-the very magnitude of the
theme courted criticism from it's bear
ing upon vast economic possibilities
in the Northwest provinces, as yet
but partially explored. Not that Pro-
fessor Borthwick concerned himself
intimately with economic questions;

Meanwhile, the scientific world, APP

years were as a day, geologically
speaking, expected to wait; even the
cptimists scarcely supposed that Pro-
fessor Borthwick would have the luck
to personally establish his claim to
posterity.
The Theory had its origin in
handful of obscure fossils collected
by the professor IN early manhood,

husiasm and success. OF course the
ost of building these roads has been

ugh investigation of the subject, the
Journal wishes to suggest to the
county authorities the plan of using
he crude oil process, to save the

he dust more effectually than it can
otherwise be done, and to save in

fessor never resented.
In the next hour various individ-
uals dropped in for conversation with
the Professor, and stayed to enjoy it
with Miss Dickson. 1t was past the
luncheon hour when the last depart
ed, and tho Professor was still clos
eted in the sampling room. Miss
Dickson decided to give him another
half hour, and reverted, hungry but
patient, to the Fossil Fish Tooth. At
the end of the period she knocked at
the door and entered.
Time you went to lunch, Profess
sor," she said.
He was seated with his back to-
ward her, before a table Uttered with
rock specimens, his head sunk be-
tween his shoulders, his elbows rest
ing on the table.
1t struck her, for the first time,
that he looked very old and shriv-
elled and fragile; the reaction, posi-
BIZ, from his earlier elation. She
approached softly, to avoid startling
him.
He seemed unconscious of her
presence; his eyes were glued to
magnifying glass beneath which lay
a fragment of limestone containing
fossils.
ut is past oclock-time you
went to luncheon, Professor" she re-
peated.
He made no reply, nor even the
slightest movement. She waited
moment longer, and with a woman's
intuition OWNED that something was
wrong.
what is it, Professor" she ex-
claimed.
He turned his head slowly and
stared at her with a sort Of mute de-
fance.
Professor, there's something
wrong! Tell me what it is she said
sharply
He pointed at the specimens be-
fore him and tried to speak, and with
the several languages at his command
could find no word to express himself.
He raised his eyes to hers, shame
facedly; a suspicion of the truth
flashed upon her-he read it in her
eyes-and fiung the magnifier from
him with gesture of despair
"All-dis-proved," he said, fall
tering from syllable to syllable, and
sank back in the chair, a withered,
decrepit, old, old man.
Nonsense! Not the theory"
she retorted, struggling with over
whelming conviction of the truth and
the utter futility of fighting against
it.
A knock came at the outer door.
1t galvanized the poor. broken old
man into active misery.

thusiastic at $50 a. M; it involved

both of them

the Professor, unchilled. When not
conversing accidentally he tried to
be conventional, and became COM
monplace. 81 believe the market is
going up" he added, after a pause
and fash of inspiration.
Down." replied Miss Dickson,
pursuing the damping process.
She dabbled mildly in shares, and
the Professor heard of her ventures
with the puzzled interest that a man
with a banking account and no use
for money would naturally evince to-
ward a woman with gambling pro-
pensities-and a salary
Next to the Theory, Miss Dickson
was an indispensable adjunct to the
Professors welfare. Every New
Years Eve check, for the purchase
of additional shares, lay on her desk,
presented with the gratitude and es-
TEEN of J. Borthwick"
She was little, energetic woman,
agreeable, we'll educated, well read;
ten years as the Professors secre-
tary had grounded her so effectually
in the Theory and all pertaining to
it that she had become a source of
reference on the subject, consulted
by the Professor and the geological
staff, Unfortunately. kindly ma
ture enhanced her mental attain
ments, coupled with an assured man
ner. She was self-sacrificing and
self-assertive as occasion demanded,
championed her chief in public, and
bullied him in private as one who
knew his weaknesses and corrected
his spelling.
He turne' to his desk and the
mornings correspondence. Miss Dick
son laid aside her paper.
''The new batch of fossils came in
this morning" she said. 81 had them
arranged in the sampling room"

Professor replied; from what he
said it's just possible they have hap
