Has Memorized 10000 Dates.

E. c. Laston, who has just issued a
challenge to the world for the memo
ry championship. although only a
young man of twenty-three years, is a
veritable walking encyclopedia, for
he has memorized 10000 dates of the
principal events in the worlds history
since the creation. 1t was quite by
accident that he discovered that he
had an exceptional gift Of memory.
He was being trained as an army Off.
Ger, when an attack of rheumatic fe-
yer dispelled his hopes in that direc-
ton. At that time he happened to
meet the Zancigs in India, who, no.
ticing what a remarkable memory he
had for dates. advised him to cultivate
IL. He then purchased q copy of
Haydn's Dictionary of Dates and
sought to commit to memory the dates
of the most important events In the
worlds history by writing fifty to q
hundred dates ON a piece of paper and
rewriting them three or four times
until he had fully grasped then. with
the result that he has repertoire OF
thousands of dates and can give the
correct answers without the slightest
hesitation.

Philip Hume was the man who had
taken Olive Vanstonc's destiny into
his hands to mould for his brief
Eastime and break! The fact was so
incredible that Stephen Ruthen could
not have believed 1t, only that the
man stood selfconvicted. There had
been guilt in every line of his face
at the sight of Olive. Guilty, beyond
all possibility of doubt--guilty!
And he liked this man. had admit
ted him to his house as a welcome
friend, had contemplated with pleas
ure the possibility of marriage be-
tween him and his sister! And Hume
was Frank Cart"
1t was the night after that meeting
at the rectory gate. Stephen Ruthen
sat in his study, staring into the fire.
with a stern, set face, whilst his mind
tried to beat out the problem that fate
had flung into his life.
Upstairs Olive Vanstone lay in the
delirium OF fever.
The inevitable breakdown that Ste
pten had foreseen coming during her
excited talk in the vestry had followed
the nights startling climax in that un
looked-for encounter with the man
who had wronged her. 1t was the cul
mination of those long weeks of men
tai stress following upon the discov
cry that her marriage had been ly
