A Bad BIunder.

Every barrister Is well aware that
tact in the management of the judge
Is great thing. One day certain
treasury counsel was driving over O
well-known bridge on his way to the
Quarter Sessions.
Noticing the chairman of the ses.
sions trudging along in the mud and
rain, the barrister instantly stopped
the hanson and offered him lift. The
offer was at once accepted and the
pair proceeded to their destination in
great amity.
AS soon as they arrived the learned
counsel hurried into the courthouse,
as he had an important application to
make Immediately the chairman had
taken his seat. But to his intense
surprise and chargin the application
was curtly refused
The barrister was completely non
plused at the sudden change in the
demeanor of the chairman, until the
usher, in husky whisper, supplied
the explanation by asking:
'Do you know what you've done,
sir?"
IL haven't the slightest idea. What
ever can it be?" was the reply.
why, sir, you ran in and left the
chairman to pay for your cab."-Tit

With dry catch in her voice the

The man. whose head had sunk
lower and lower during the talk of the
third person, finally had dropped upon
his arm on the table. and he was sob

The woman at the table had dropped
her fan and she was staring with un-
seeing eyes. Presently she came to
herself with a start. She arose and
walked to the door. She turned and
glanced at the man.
Goodbye, john" she said. and she
vanished through the same door
which had swallowed up the third
person, leaving the man still sobbing
at the table.

She was of the Cleopatra type and
singularly perfect in face and form and
color and grace. Her magnificent
gown was designed to show or suggest
all the beauties of her voluptuous fig

eyes sparkled with passion and her
red lips breathed love. She was

He was tall, sinewy. alert, distinctly
handsome, with a broad, intelligent
forehead-a man to attract attention
anywhere. There was something a
trife shifty about his keen eyes and
something a trife weak about his
lower face and something a trifle SEN

indefinable and apparent only upon
close analysis. AS whole he was a
fine appearing man and he carried him
self as one who had won the fight with
the world.
They were talking eagerly, joyously,
and the first intimation they had of the
advent of the third person was when
her shadow fell across the table at
which they sat. They glanced up sim
ultaneously, and both looked a trifle
startled at first. Then the woman
and the man looked annoyed and de-
fant.
The third person was a woman
slight of build and her worn face was
surmounted by brown hair plainly
dressed, and was illuminated by great
gray eyes which would have been beau

was dressed simply in black.

She spoke with studied insolence.
The third person neither flushed nor

lock at the man at all, but kept
ste eady and searching gaze upon the
woman at the table, who leaned back
and famed herself lazily with price
less fan.
Il came to see you," replied the
third person in low distinct tones.
The woman at the table shifted un-
easily under the steady gaze and the
self-poise of the other woman. She
reached out for a jeweled paper knife
on the table.
The third person smiled sadly.

LIFE ONLY ON EARTH
RECT OF UNIVERSE UNiNHAp.
TIED, SAY SCIENTISTS.
With Modern Telescopes Millions Of
Stars Are EasIy Discovered, But
Conditions Seem to Preclude Pos
sibiiity Of Living Organisms There.

Astronomers can see with a great
modern telescope at least 100000 900
stars In the entire universe. The
question arises: How uany other
bodies like the earth exist in space?"
Prof. T. J. ]. See of the United States
navy claims that the study OF the
double stars tends to support the con.
tention of DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace
that the universe is not inhabited ex.
published work on the orbits of all
the double stars which could be de.
termined at that time, and he found
the double stars so different from the
solar system that he says no other
system like that to which the earth
belongs is known to exist In the hea.
vens. The double stars revolve In or.
bits of high eccentricity, and the two
members of a system are usually
equal or comparable In mass. while
the planets of the solar system move
in very circular orbits and have
masses which are infinitely small com.
pared to that of the sun, about which
they revolve. The result is that the
solar system affords equable condi.
tions of heat and light, such as or.
ganic life requires, while the system
of the double stars would furnish
such great changes OF light and heat
that life could not survive on a planet
attached to member of double,
such as Sirius or Procyon.

er than all the planets combined, and
this makes IL an autocrat over the
planets, whose motions Il dominates
absolutely. The double stars are in
reality systems of double suns, and
mathematicians claim that a planet
could not move safely and quietly in
such a system-that il would sooner
or later come into collision with one
OF the stars, or be driven from the
system never to return, in either case
destroying the chances of organic
life. The number of dark bodies In
the heavens is immense and. OF
course, It is possible that some ol
these may afford conditions suitable
for organic life, but up to this time
astronomers are unable to point tc

the solar system.
OF dark planets attending the star.
DR.. See writes: 'If such inconsider
able companions as our sun possesses
attend the fixed stars, they woult
neither be visible nor could they be
discovered by any perturbations
which they might produce. 1t is
therefore, impossible to determine
whether the stellar system include!
such bodies as the planets, and W.
are thus unaware of the existence o
any other system like our own. Or
the other hand, the heavens presen
to our consideration an infinite num-
ber of double systems, each Of whic.
