1T became difficult for Orde to un-
derstand the home life Of the
Bishops. Everybody seemed a
victim to the caprice Of the moth
er, who became hysterical at the slight
est provocation and was fond of con-
tracing imaginary Ills In order to gain
added attention.
The day after his walk with Gerald
Bishop, Orde and Carroll had arrang-
ed for walk. But Mrs. Bishop met
them at the door and demanded that
her daughter stay at home to attend
to several trivial matters But the
evening turned out very we'll fortu-
nately. Orde could not have stood
much more. They had the parlor quite
to themselves. Carroll took the cover
from the tall harp, and, leaning her
cheek against it. she played dreamily
for half hour. Her arms were bare
Her soft bosom pressed against the
broad sounding board. There Is about
the tones Of harp we'll played some
thing luminous, like the rich. warm
sunlight. When the CIR! muted the
strings at last 1t seemed to Orde as
though all at once the room had per-
ceptibly darkened. He took his leave
finally, his spirit soothed and restored
Tranquility was not for long, how
ever. Orde's visits were naturally as
frequent as possible To them almost
instantly Mrs. Bishop opposed the
strong and intuitive jealousy Of ego
tism She had as yet no fears rs to
the young mans intentions. but is-
stinctively she felt an influence that
opposed her own supreme dominance.
The week passed. Orde saw as much
as he could of Miss Bishop. Gerald
himself seemed to be much occupied.
Precisely at II every morning, how
ever, he appeared at the gymnasium
for his practice, and in this Orde drop
ped into the habit Of Joining him.
When the young men first stripped in
each others presence they eyed each
other with secret surprise. Gerald's
slender body was gracefully muscled.
His bones were small. but his flesh
was hard. Orde had earned from the
river the torso of an ancient athlete.
The round. full arch of his chest was
topped by mass of clean cut muscles
Across his back, beneath the smooth
skin, the muscles rippled and ridged
and dimpled with every movement.
The abdomen showed the peculiar cor
rugation Of the very strong man. His
arms were magnificent.

A very hairy. thickset, bullet head

''ln tracing theprobable sour
ces, hidden in the midst of pre-.
historic times, of the method of
computation under the Jewish
calender, it has been found that
the first years in the primitive
calenders, were composed of S
months of 80 days each. 1t is
also contended that before the
5 month year was adopted, the
term year was applied to enc
month. This ment that the PEE

Methusalem Loses Time.
advocates Of this theory seek
to prove their contention by
working out the ages of the first
men mentioned in the Bible.
The result is to sweep the lau-
rsls for longevit from Methusa-
lem's brow. Methusalem be-
comes, under the system of the
moon cycle year, far more youth
full than many persons living to
day. Mathusalem's record of
$50 years is cut down to a mere
78a by these theorists.
Similarly, Adams 800 years
of life, calculated at 29a days

ticn" or moon year, works out
a. Isl years. The other old
men of the Bible who hold re-
cords in the ssstaver" class also
are reduced to the position Of
comparatively juveniles.
"The next stage in the mar
king Of time is supposen to have
been the discovery of the equi-
doxes in spring and autumn,
when day and night were exac-
lily of the same length. This,
would give 5 months of 30 days
each. On this basis of a year
of $50 days. Abraham's It's
years are reduced to ", and
Isaac's 80 years to "a. A fur

that there were really 6 moons

writer in the Reform Advocate
