always persuasive, and he had never been
known to raise his voice, which extraordinarily
low clear, and penetrating. He probably
pleased by the impression of diffidence which he
produced those who not intimately &C
qualnted with him. Yet this meek and supple
department OF his was in no way pose used to gain
end. 1t absolutely natural to him. Carl
had been the first of his to marry into the
English nobility. He had we'll the right to
do From the secret throne of his office Lom-
bard-st. he had imposed his will the stock ex-
changes of Europe, without once hurting anybody's
feelings Moreover, he dettante of genius
And then there were his entertainments. his cook
and his marvelously discreet and perfect manners.
When he had resolved to marry he knocked boldly
at august portals, which were seldom opened but
whose guardians had just read in a of paper
written by arlstocrats for arstocrats nice calcula
ton of his income to the minute He had been
ceived with fervor.
"Now is the time Maurice!" he murmured to
his
Maurice made sign to a couple of servants, who
simultaneously drew aside two curtains which had
completely covered the double glass door leading
to the south terrace and the exterior prospect was
exposed to view
The great moment, as Maurice had phrased it to
Berger, emphatically had come. And the whole
company felt that it had come Carl Courlander
with the quiet instinct for the dramatic which he
possessed, and with that chdlike na1vete which is
SO frequently characteristic of rulers, had some
what niSenlouSly LED up to the moment. FOR nearly
a year one had been invited to Tudor Hundreds
Officially the demesne had been closed and the
Courlander entertainments given either at the
town house in Hamilton Place or at the chalet on
the Norman coast between Honfeur and Trouve.
Then had arrived curiously worded invitations to
the most select persons in London to journey down
to Bedfordshire a certain day at certain
hour by special train.
During the journey down to Dunstable, the occu-
pants of the single Pullman of which the special
train consisted discussed, not the acute crisis in
European politics. but the nature of the thing which
old Courander had got up his sleeve. Then the
motor cars which met the train at Dunstable had
not entered Tudor Hundreds through the gardens,
the old informal custom, but by the grand
gates, that nobody had seen the gardens. And
tea instead of being served the south terrace as

usual in June had been served in the hall. And
each guest had noticed that the south windows were
curtained No guest had asked why; because, even
though you Prime Minister and Carl Cour-
lander was the mldest man earth, you did not
ask Carl Courlander that sort OF questlon-you
restrained your curiosity.
And now the curtains were withdrawn and the
doors opened and the guests passed out to the ter
race.
The Champions not come, sonny" Carl
Courlander whispered to Maurice as he went by him
in the of the procession.
mol" Maurice muttered shortly, and flushed.
Carl gave gesture to indicate the wisdom of
being resigned Then he turned to Lord Domestic,
the Prince and charitable peeress, who stood fore
most among the spectators, and who made more
effort than did the rest to curb their establishment
and pleasure
And amid the chorus of applause, the vehement
congratulations, the ecstatc monosyables, and the
little narticulate cries of wonderment, he scarcely
attempted to conceal his amiable and just pride
He had good deal to be proud of. Where forty
fifty acres of informal gardens and four hundred
and fifty of undulating park land had pre-
vlouSly existed, there now the hugest formal
garden in all England From the terrace of the
Renaissance FACADE, which couple of hundred
feet in length descended broad steps in four flights
of ten EACH separated from each other by parterres
and verdure Then spread out vast lawn regularly
broken by statuary, fountains, and topary work.
East and west of the lawn, alleys bordered by
trimmed box and other trees led away to other
basins and other sculptured water gods From the
lawn, still downward, another quadruple flight of
steps drew the eyes vast cruciform canal whose
greater arm running due south, half mile in
length. At the nearer end boat house in white
marble had been built in the form of temple. The
side of the canal fanked by trees. And at
the farther extremity of the greater arm, three
quarters of mile from the house, magnificent
double row of ems climbed a broad slope of green
thus raising the eye again to the height from which
it had started These elns practically all that
remained of the old park and gardens.
MY dear Courlander," Lord Domestic exclaimed
with his slight lisp I've visited you here for dozen
years now, and upon my soul l don't recognize the
place Is it deusion iusion?"

THE STAR MIRA.
A Sun of Great Size That Is Strug-
Cling for Existence.

For the greater part of the time the
variable Mira, which has been known
to astronomers for 800 years, is alto
gether unnoticeabIe and indeed invis-
ible, except with telescopes 1t once
disappeared entirely for a period of
four years, but afterward attained ex-
traordinary splendor, only to fade
again to invisibility. It is a sun of
great size, brighter than our sun when
it shines at its brightest, but some
trouble. some solar disease. seems to
be sapping its vitality, and it resem-
bles a patient almost at the last gasp.
once in about 331 days-but the pc
riod is irregular-it has a sudden ac-
cession of energy and flares up for
little while with several hundredfold
brilliancy only to sink back into
dull red point that nearly escapes the
ken of the telescope One interesting
explanation that has been suggested
is that the surface of Mira periodical
ly burst into a vast flame of burning
hydrogen. SO great and powerful that
it is visible across millions. of millions
of miles of space. It is a star for the
imagination of a Dante, yet there is
reason to believe that the time is
coming when every star in the sky,
not excepting the sun, will have to
confront a similar struggle for exist
ence. just as every mortal being must
some time see death.-Garrett P. Ser
