bones of prehistoric man buried 10
feet deep under a terrace, which Is re-
garded, and with good reason, as the
ancient bed of the Thames river.
There is no reason to believe that
the elevation or depression Of the
land. which leads to the rise and fall
in the level Of the river, has not been
uniform. The past must be judged
from what we know OF the present,
and on this basis the land movement
which formed the terrace, and which
has scarcely changed since the Roman
period. has been deposited at the rate
of one foot In 1000 years, this as
signing a period of at least 100000
years since the high-level terrace was
laid down at Galley Hill, and the an

This ancient Briton was five feet
one inch in height The neck was
enormously thick and the chest was
narrow and protruding.

The proposed creation Of univer-

deal OF discussion. The city author
tiles have proposed to combine a
number Of scientific academies and In
stitutions OF learning already existing
into a university. These institutions
dispose Of large endowment funds,
and funds necessary to complete the
university organization would, accord

tion. in order to avoid increasing tax
burden. The proposal has been sub
mitted to the Prussian government
Considerable opposition to the Frank

as Marburg and Giessen, which claim
that students would be drawn away

of a business woman she really was,
how self-reliant she was! The wave
OF protectiveness that had seized
upon him that morning came back
and with 1t another thing-the knowl-
edge that he loved this woman. It
came like light, in an instant And
before he could steady his thought
the door opened. and Nina Taylor,
sunburned and happy, breezed in
upon them.
We'll, old business plodders-
though you look more like plotters-
what Is up? Figuring how much l en-
bezzled?" She laughed.
Well" answered Dorr, "for
fact, we cant seem to locate 5000
that isn't on the bank book, and ought
to be. It's been lost ever since you
left"
The girl came to lean over Sylvia's
shoulder, running practiced eye
over the books. Her face was serious,
and she bit her lip. Then, with
whirl, she turned to the safe and
opened it. She rummaged moment,
and brought out little canvas bag.
There's your cash-didn't you hear
me tell you to bank it the day l left,
Miss Gray?" She laughed. Il was too
late for the bank, you will remember"
Sylvia did remember, then. The
younger girl snatched something she
wanted from her desk and was gone
again in a moment.
John Dorr rose from his chair, and
looking at Sylvia Gray saw how pale
and tired she looked. All sense OF
anything but her and her loneliness
left him. He reached out for both
her unresisting hands.
Sylvia" he said, IF only you could
love me Could you? Could you
love me-and marry me?"
There was still much Of her old re-
serve and dignity left to her, but 1t
was the dignity of yielding what one
longs to give. She looked quietly at
him.
do you love me?" he insisted.
"Oh," she answered. Il dol OF

shield her from Fosters look-from
even the thought of any one else. 1t
was a protective impulse that sprang
up TO defend her, and set a steal upon
him. He never forgot how she looked
at that moment Her eyes were like
flowers.
That evening she went straight to
the point. She put the books before
him.
