ABOUT MOTHER EARTH.
Points Of Interest Concerning This
Wonderful Globe, as vouched
for by Scientists.

Our dear old earth which seems
immovable and solid as we go about
our daily work or travel yer its fur
rowed surface, is yet spinning, and
rolling, and swaying in complex but
orderly motion. It's axial rotation
gives us day and night. It's circuit
round the sun brings the seasons and
the year. The circling Of the poles
produces the procession of the equi-
noxes. The planets perturb In its
courses. The plain of its orbit sways
up and down, and its perihelion is
slowly shifted. The moon swings it
around a center of gravity common
to both, while the sun and all our sys-
tenn speeds onward to some far distant
goal. And if the bright star in the
Taurus is the central point round
which this vast orbit sweeps then Al
cyona is the center Of the universe
for us.
AS far as astronomers can Judge
this motion through the vast abyss of
intersteller space is at the rate Of
about a million miles q day. and It is
in the direction Of the constellation
Hercules. The motion through space
is believed to be away from Argus
and toward Hercules. Some have
thought that Alcyona in the Pleiades

cried Lady Maud.
"But ! want you to come objected
her friend.
Il mean to come. Do you think I'm
afraid to meet him."
Van Torp looked at her in some sur
prise, and not without admiration.
There isn't anybody like you, any
way" he said quietly. But there's
going to be a circus on that ship if
he's Leven," he added. IF he makes
a fuss I'll read the riot act and lock
him up"
ooh, no." answered Lady Maud, who
was used to Mr.. Van Torp's familiar
vocabulary, why need there be n
trouble? You've not told him I am
coming, you say. Very well. If he

two months is my whole life. A mere
recognition at first sight and at ten
yards is not enough. 1t may be only
a marvellous resemblance, for they
say every one has a double some
where in the world"
"They used to say, too, that if you
me- your double one of you would
die" observed Van Torp. "Those
things are all stuff and nonsense, of
course. l was just thinking. WE'LL"
he continued, dwelling on his favorite
monosyllable, "if you decide to come
on the yacht, and if the man doesn't
blow away, w shall know the truth in
three or four days from now, and
that's a comfort. And even if he turns
out to be Leven, maybe we can man
age something"
Lady Maud chose not to ask what
her friend thought he could manage"
for she had glanced at his face when
he had spoken, and though it was half
turned away from her, she saw his
expression, and 1t would have scared
a ervou person. She did not like
him to be in that mood, and was sor-
ry that she had brought him to it.
But Mr.. Van Torp, who was a strong
man, and had seen more than one af-
fray in his ranching days, could not
help thinking how uncommonly easy
it would be to pick up Count Kralin-
sky and drop him overheard on a dark
night next week, when the Lancashire
Lass would be doing % knots, and
there might be a little weather about
to drown the splash.

XII.

On the morning after the transac-
ton last described, Van Torp's atten-
| ton was arrested by a sensational
"scare-head' about a thief and a ruby
worth $50, 900. Some disaffected col
league in London had known, or
cleverly guessed, where the stone was
that had been stolen from Mr.. Pin
ney's, and had informed the police;
the n~ice-looking young fellow who
spoke like an English gentleman had
walked directly into the arms of the
plain-clothes man waiting for him on
the pier in New York, the stone had
been found sewn up in his waistcoat,
and his pleasant career of liberty had
ended abruptly in a cell.
Mr.. Van Torp whistled softly as he
read the account a second time. Then
he neatly cut the column out of the
paper, folded it with great precision,
smoothed it with care and placed it in
his pocket-book next to a cheap little
photograph of Nine. da Cordova as
Juliet" which he had bought in a
music shop in New York the day after
he had heard her for the first time,
and had carried in his pocket ever
since.
He took up the mutilated newspa-
per and looked up and down the col
umns, and among other information
which he gathered in a few moments
was the fact hat Logotheti's yacht
had passed Capt Saint Vincent, going
east, owner and party or board" The
previous telegram had not escaped
him, and if he had entertained any
doubts as to the destination of the
Erinna, they vanished now. She was
certainly bound for the Mediterranean.
He remembered having heard that
many steam yachts coming from Eng
land put into Gibraltar for coal and
fresh provisions, coal being cheaper
there than in French and Italian
ports, and he thought it very probable
that the Erinna would do the same;
he also made some deductions which
need not be explained yet. The only
one worth mentioning here was that
Logotheti would be likely to hear in
Gibraltar that the ruby had been
found and was on it's way back to
England, and that as he would know
that Margaret would be anxious about
it, since he had already given it to
her, he would hardly let the occasion
of communicating with her go by. AS
for writing from Gibraltar to any
place whatsoever in the hope that a
letter will arrive in less than a week,
it is sheer folly. Mr.. Van Torp had
never tried it, and supposed it pos
sible, as it looks, but he was %tolerably
sure that Logotheti would telegraph
first, and had perhaps done so al
ready, for the news of his passing
Cape Saint Vincent was already "a
hours old.
This was precisely what had hap
pened. When Mr.. Van Torp opened
his door, he came upon Margaret and
Mrs. Rushmore on the landing, OF the

and smiled.
do as you would be done by" he
said. That's the company's rule"
She laughed at the allusion to their
agreement, of which Lady Maud knew
nothing, for they had determined to
keep it secret for the present.
Mr.. Van Torp had not found IN op-
p~ortunity of speaking to Lady Maud
| alone, but he wished her to know
when Kralinsky might be expected.
"Stemp," he said, before leaving the
cabin, "have -ou heard from the
COUNT"

ing from Vienna in his motor, sir, and
sent his things with his man, and his
compliments to you and the ladies.
and he will come on board In time for
dinner. That was all. l think. SIR"
Lady Maud heard, and made a
scarcely %perceptible movement of the
head by way of thanks to her friend,
while listening to Margaret's enthusi-
astic praise of everything she saw. MI.
Van Torp and his man departed, just
as Potts appeared, accompanied by a
very n~eat-looking English stewardess
in a smart white cap. Lady Maud was
unusually silent, but she smiled pleas
antly at what Margaret said, and the
latter made up her mind to drown her
anger against Logotheti, and at the
same time be avenged on him, in an
orgy of luxurious comfort, sea-air, and
sunshine. The capacity of a perfectly

ways sorry for it, because it is bad
for the voice.
Mr.. Van Torp reached his quarters,
and prepared to scrub and dress com.
fortably after a week at Bayreuth and
a railroad journey.
Lady Maud did not begin to dress at
once, as there was plenty of time be-
fore dinner; she left the stewardess to
unpack her things, and came out upon
the six-foot gangway outside her cab
in door to breathe the air, for it was
warm. The city lay half a mile away
in the afterglow of the sunset.
But she felt none of that healthy
pleasure which a lovely sight naturally
gave her. She was at a crisis of her
life, and the exquisite evening scene
was the battlefield of a coming strug-
gle, with herself, or with another, she
hardly knew. In half an hour, or in
an hour, at most, she was to sit at ia

snider Colonies.

Our native spiders are notable for
their extreme unsociability. OF those
which are spinners each one con
structs its web apart from those Of
it's kind And those which hunt pur-
sue their prey alone, says the London
Globe.
In other countries, however, there
are spiders which live in communities,
and one such, a native of Mexico, is
described by NJ. L. Diguet. It is known
as the mosquero and makes a large
nest in oaks and other trees. Here
the spiders live gregariously and along
with them in the nest is found a mi
mute beetle and another species of spi-
der. The beetle is said to act as
scavenger. Parts of the nest of the
mosquero are hung UP in the houses
during the wet season TO get rid of the
fiies.

having seen in the United States a man
answering the description of the one she

to the Bayreuth ''Parsifar' festival. Mar

arrived at Bayreuth. Van Torp believed
him to be the one Baraka was pursuing.
Baraka was arrested in London on the
charge of stealing from Pinney, a Jew

Two strangers were the thieves. Lady
Maud believed that Logothetfs associa-

CHAPTER XIII.

The millionaire did things hand
somely. He offered to motor his party
to Venice, and as Margaret declined,
because motoring was bad for her
voice, he telegraphed for a comfort
able special carriage, and took his
friends down by railroad, and they
were all very luxuriously comfortable.
Kralinsky was not on board the
yacht when they came alongside at
sunset in two gondolas, following the
steam-launch, which carried the load
of luggage and the two maids.
Stemp led the way, and Mr.. Van
Torp took the three ladies to their
cabins; first, Mrs. Rushmore, who was
surprised and delighted by the rich
and gay appearance of hers, for it
was entirely decorated in pink and
gold.
On the writing-table stood a tall,
gilt vase full of immense pink roses,
with stems nearer foul feet long than
three. Mrs. Rushmore admired them
very much.
How did you know that l love
roses above all other flowers?" she
asked. my dear Mr.. Van Torp, you
are a wizard, I'm sure!"
Lady Maud and Margaret entered,
and kept up a polite little chorus Of
admiration; but they both felt uneasy
as to what they might find in their re-
spective cabins, for Margaret hated
pink, and Lady Maud detested gild-
ing, and neither of them was especial
ly fond of roses. They left Mrs. Rush
more very happy in her quarters and
went on. Lady Maud's turn came next,
and she began to understand, when
she saw a quantity of sweet wood vio-
lets on her table, just loosened, in an
old Murano glass beaker.
Thank you," she said, bending to
smell them. How kind of you!"
There was not a trace of gliding or
pink silk. The cabin was paneled and
fitted in a rare natural wood of a
creamy-white tint.

Stemp threw open the door of COM

pared for the prima donna. The two
cabins occupied the whole beam of the
vessel, excepting the ~six-foot gangway
on each side, and as she was one of
the largest yachts afloat at the time,
there was no lack of room.

cried Margaret, seeing half an arm
full of her favorite dark red ones, in a
silver wine-cooler before the mirror.
