 Wilbur Wright's Career.
 Wilbur Wright shared with his bro ther Orville the distinction of leine the first to fly. Students of world progress have placed these names in thest Hall of Fame in immediate Sprox- ''mity to- those other pioneers of ad- vancement, Gutenburg, Watt, Fulton, Stevenson, Edison, Bell and Marconi.
 Wilbur Wright and his brother, na- tives of Ohio, began their experiments Their ste2-father gave them heli- copter as toy. The curious little in strument. when wound up, flew about the room over the heads of the de- lighted youngsters. Unlike most boys, instead of quarreling for possession of the toy they played with it together and set their precocious young brains to the task of first initiating and then improving upon the toy. AS they grew up their interest in aviation was manifested in the building of kites, and finally in 1896 they took up in earnest the study of actual flight.
 They were in the bicycle business in Dayton, Ohio. It was with the profits of this business that they defrayed their expenses of experiment.. In 1991 they operated. their first gliding mot orless biplane. Exhaustive study of air pressure during the following win ter was followed by more experiments in 1902, increased in 1903 and they then attached to the glider gasoline motor of the type used in automobiles.
 These later experiments were con- ducted at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and in lieu of passenger they at tached an anvil to the biplane for the first flights. On the 17th day of Oc- tober, 1903, the machine flew, with it's inventor. Owing to their secrecy. the world doubted their success until four days later, when they publicly dem onstrated their ability to fly, and prov ed beyond contradiction that two years before any other man had flown for one minute they had flown repeatedly for more than twenty miles.

ReStful Readinu.

We are in receipt of three charm
ing booklets, all of which we are peru
ing with intense interest. One is The
Effects of Various Fixatives on the
Brain of the Albino Rat, With an Ac-
count of Method of Preparing This
Material for a Study of the Cells in
the Cortex," by Helen Dean King. An
other breathing the same spirit is "On
the Percentage of Water in the Brain
and in the Spinal Cord of the Albino
Rat" by Professor Henry H. Donald
son. Miss Kings sprightly treatment
Of her theme reminds us strongly Of
a prose expression of the old nursery
jingle about the three blind mice that
pursued, the farmers wife until she
amputated their tails with a carving
knife. Seldom have we encountered
such blithe expression of eytology.
Professor Donaldson's brochure on the
amount of water in the brain and
spinal cord of the albino rat flows
smoothly and rhythmically to the end,
but it lacks the gracile touch and ia
cile Interpretation of the other. Eth
er book, however, is ideal for quiet
evening at home, with fire in the
crate and the bait in the trap.
The third publication is of especial
timeliness. 1t is "DeForest's Formula
for An Unsymmetrical Probability
Curve" and is from the pen of Shin
kishi Hatai of the Wistar Institute Of
Anatomy. Professor Hatai goes di,
rectly at the heart of the skew hi,
nomial curve and the curve that is
limited on one side of the mean, and
he utters an appealing truth when he
deduces that the analytical constants
are determined from the first three
moments. Anyone who has ever ne
gotiated an unsymmetrical probability
curve, either with an auto or on foot,
will testify to this. He also cites the
well-remembered fact that DeForest
actually obtained one of Pearson's
curves many years ago, and his work
suggests more generalized curve"
We wish copy of this illum1native
and instructive treatise might be
placed in the hands of each person
who plans seeing the old year out in
the different cafes and restaurants
Provided with the formula for an un'
symmetrical probability curve the
homeward route would not be nearly
so difficult of negotiation.

CHAPTER XIII.
An unexpected Meetlna.

Keith paused at the landing, look

most tempted to return and force
Hawley into a confession of his pur-
pose, 1t was easy for him to con-
Ceive what would be the final result
of this interview between the artistic
gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite
of the vague suspicion Of evil which
the p1ainsman had implanted within
the woman's mind. the other possessed
the advantage, and would certainly
improve it. All conditions were de-
ciAediy in his favor. He merely
needed to convince the girl that she
was actually the party sought, and
she would go forward, playing the
game he desired believing herself
Night totally unconscious of any
fraud The very simplicity of it rem
dered the pIot the more dangerous,
the more difficult to expose. Hawley
had surely been favored by fortune in
discovering this singer who CHANGED
to resemble Hope so remarkably, and
who, at the same time, was in such
ignorance as to her own parentage.

straw, and, once persuaded as to her

out then and there became almost
overpowering. He had no fear OF
Hawley; indeed, physical fear had
scarcely place in his composition,
but he was not as yet sufficiently for
titled with facts for the seeking OF
such an encounter.
A man came in through the Office,
and began climbing the stairs. He
was almost at the landing before
Keith recognized him or the other
glanced up.
"Ah-seen her. | suppose?"
Yes" returned Keith, not thinking
1t worth while to mention the lady's
denial of having sent for him. Il have

"Hum-thought you'd be through by

myself"
Il would advise you to select some
other time, Doctor" said the younger
drily, as the lady has a visitor at
present"
"A visitor?" his face rosy, his
shrewd eyes darkening. "Ah, indeed!

you will pardon all that has
between us, and permit me
NW~ST do not understand" she re-
piled. puzzled by these unexpected
words. There has nothing occurred
between us, am sure, which requires
explanation Have we met before?"
The man smiled. Seeing the wom-
ans face in the shadows he was still
convinced she was the same he had
last parted with on the Salt Fork.
However. if she preferred to ignore all
that. and begin their relations anew, 1t
was greatly to his liking. 1t gave him
insight into her character, and fresh
confidence that he could gain her as
sfstance Anyhow, he was ready
enough to play her game
Let us assume not" just the slight
est trace of mockery In the tone, and
begin anew. At least, you will confess
the receipt of my letters-I am Bart

She cast half-frightened glance to-
ward Keith. and the man, following
the direction of her eyes. perceived
the presence of the other. His right
leg went backward, his hand dropping
to the belt. his form stiffening erect.
Keith's voice, low but clear in the
silence, seemed to cut the air.
Not a motion, Hawley! have you
covered"
oh, gentlemen. please DON'T"
Have no fear, Miss Maclaire: this
man and | will settle our difference
elsewhere, and not in your presence"
He stepped forth into the middle of
the room, revolver drawn but held
low at the hip, his watchful eyes
never deserving the gamblers face.
Back up against the wall, Hawley,"
he commanded Il hardly need to tell
you how | shoot, for we, at least, have
met before. Now, I'm going out, and
leave you to your interview with Miss
Maclaire. and wish you happiness
and success"
He moved across to the opening,
keeping his face toward his adver-
sary; then backed out slowly, closed
the door with snap. and sprang
aside to avoid any possibility Of bull
let crashing after him. No sound of
movement from within reached his
ears, however, and he walked silently
to the head of the stairs.
