Glaciers Caused by Milky wax.

Another suggested cause Of glacial
periods is that they have been due to
the shifting of the milky way, such az
is known to have occurred
Assuming that much of the earth's
heat comes from the stars, DR.. Rudolf
Spitaler finds that the change of posi-.
tion In relation to the milky way
might have given a different distribu.
ton Of temperature from that existing
at the present time. The stars are
not only crowded In the region of the
milky way but many Of them are OF
the hottest type.

cotton markets The area of the Nile
valley II very limited. Cotton of a
short staple is raised In India, but
only In moderate amount, and the
culture shows little tendency to in
crease. Russia has long produced in
her Asiatic possessions moderate
amount of cotton, and the little dis
pute over passports for American Jews
increased the desire of Russia to re-
duce its imports from this country,
to which end the minister of agricul-
ture has just visited central Asia, but
he has returned convinced that little
can be done to increase cotton culture.

themselves very good company and
drank good night in Apollinaris. to
the landlords Bacchic disgust.
About ten o'clock, Stanton looked
into the apartment where Mr.. Green
sat between the telegraph operator
and the telephone.
Where is Floyd?" he casually
wondered.
Hello. hello-no, hold the wire.
What is It? Floyd? Oh. he's gone to
Coney Island. Hello. yes-wrong
number"
ITO Coney Island! You sent him?"
HE offered to co." Mr.. Green
1erkily impaired. please go to bed,
won't you? Floyd can take care of
himself, l should think, and he has
had two weeks rest to get ready for
this"
What do you mean? He has been
working at the factory or with you
ever since we came back from Indian
apolis."
In a nervous evaporation the assist
ant manager whirled his chair around.
HE had two weeks vacation" he
reiterated Grossly. "He told me that
he was going of by himself for quiet
rest. You don't have to know every
thing, Stanton. fancy he needed a
rest after what you put him through
out west, he asked me not to tell you
about 1t. Hello-454-"
Stanton paused for moment, dumb,
then turned on his heel and went out.
He was so stunned and bitterly an
gered that little red fiecks danced be-
fore his vision. Floyd had lied to him,
Systematically deceived him; in order
to escape from his too pressing friend
ship, no doubt. He remembered that
the mechanician had always shrunk
from his personal advances and only
yielded to them under compulsion.
Now he understood the letter which
he had received the previous night
from Green, and Mr.. Bailey's confused
answer to his question about Floyd.
He had been put off to be amused by
Jessica, until Floyd was again ready
to use him in the plans for the Comet
factory. Jessica! Stanton stopped
short in the dark hall. Had Jessica
also deceived him? Was she too play
ing a part in order to keep him in a
good humor? He struck his clenched
hand violently against the wall beside
him.
Whats that?" cried the affrighted
Mr.. Green, within the room. Who"
Il ran against the wall. in the dark"
Stanton called. his voice little
hoarse. but evenly controlled. Good
night"
Good night. Well fix things all
right. Stanton; you take good sleep"
81 SHALL" promised the driver.
He did not.
At seven o'clock, the next morning,
Mr.. Green burst into the hotel dining
room where Stanton was at breakfast.
Hes got them! They're coming"
he rejoiced maniacally. "The car
wasn't at Brighton, but he located 1t
ten miles farther over, on a siding.

And he raised such disturbance
around the express peoples ears that
they unloaded the tires then and there,
and rushed out two motor trucks to
cart them across to us. They'll be
here by eight and the race starts at
nine. have been up all night-an

wiped his forehead. Don't you want
to come out to the course, after you
finish here? Floyd is due on the train
which arrives in fifteen minutes, II he
isn't smothered by the crowd. never

been coming since dawn; all night, In

Great Idea.

John, aged 7, was very fond Of run.
ming with his younger brother
through the ash pile near home. Their
mother demonstrated in vain about
their shoes until she hit on the plan
of making the boys clean them. John
one day and little Arthur the next.
This seemed great joke until John
had actually puffed over the task
through the best part of an hour. He
stuck 1t out, putting shine on the
four little shoes; then he went to his
mother with serious face and said:
Mother, I've got the idea. l won't
ever run through the ashes any more
except on Arthur's day to clean!"

NS'Su yOub IL was 81 COuiu "
here to race with you to-day. 1 will
tell you afterward. l can't now."
You mean"
Floyd held out his hand.
I've got everything badly mixed up,
but It's clean to offer you. Stanton"
AS swiftly impulsive as his condem-
nation was Stanton's movement as he
bent to give the clasp.
"All right" he said curtly. Get in;
ought to have given you chance"
And as the other obeyed: 81 didn't
mean to meet you as l did. an hour
ago, anyhow; 1t slipped me-"
They're signaling" warned Mr..
Green, hurrying over. "Are you ready7
Both Of you?"
From his place beside Stanton,
Floyd turned face of incarnate sun
shine to the assistant manager, a face
SO changed In its color and glow and
warmth that all who saw drew breath
In sheer wonder.
Were ready" his lifting tones as
sured. Don't worry"
Stanton laughed with him, fastening
on the mask. and sent the Mercury
rolling forward. The world was right
once more, and life sane.
1t was an exquisite morning; wind
less, cool, with happy little effects Of
snowy cloud against a cobalt-blue
sky. The October air was summer
distilled cordial, an ethereal intoxi-
cant. The racers had no time to no.
tice 1t, yet the effect was there. The
speed made on the first laps was rec
ord-breaking.
The brown or gray streak Of road
ahead, the deadly turns, the treacher-
GUS smooth hill down which 1t was so
easy to make speed and still more
easy to meet disaster-for the first
hour Stanton had no attention to spare
from these. Moreover, the spectators
were massed over the course in many
places, recoiling just enough to leave
a lane for each cars passage, and SO
imposing another anxiety upon the
drivers who knew the swerve Of foot
must bring death to some one.
Gar behind" Floyd's clear accents
gave the familiar cautions, from time
to time. Hes tryin' to get us before
the turn. The Atalanta's head in the
dust"
The pace maintained was the fastest
at which the Mercury could be held to
the road. 1t was Stanton's way to gain
the lead first, when possible, then
keep steady average regardless Of
his rivals spurts of speed; unless the
race were too short to permit such
tactics or the contest too close. Now,
at the end Of the second hour Floyd
made the desired announcement, as
they shot past the grand-stand and the
bulletin boards.
Were leadin'. The tires have been
holdin fine-look out for them this
round"
Stanton moved his head affirmative
ly, his narrowed eyes answering from
the line of course ahead. Heeding the
advice, he did take the turns more
carefully

YES" acquieseed the other un-
emotionally. His dark face gave an
effect of bronzelike immobility, his
blue-black eyes held steel glints.
WELL" the assistant manager re-
sumed. and paused.
The pompadoured waitress was
leaning between them. placing a tea
pot on the table.
Chocolate. sir" she gggled.
Stanton pushed back his chair, then
checked himself as sharply.
NO" he stated, and set the Dot
away from before him.
The movement was not violent. but
there was in 1t SO much poorly re-
strained force that the china vessel
shattered upon striking the table and
all the fragrant brown liquid ran over
the white cloth. The girl exclaimed in
dismay. Mr.. Green stared; Stanton
only dropped a dollar-bill beside his
plate and rose to go.
II am ready" he signified.
The Mercury camp was scene OF
animated preparation, twenty minutes
later, when Floyd emerged from the
dense press of arriving spectators and
gained the inclosure. The assistant
manager almost received him in his
arms, the rest of the force clustered
around. Gay, blithe, triumphant,
here, If 1t wasn't for you," he de-
clared, once.
I'm awfully bright" Floyd agreed.
but he did not smile.
The machines were preparing to go
to their stations for the start, Stan.
ton was in his seat at the wheel, when
Floyd came over. and leaning against
the car. looked up into the drivers
face.
What have I done?" he asked sim
ply.
Both men were still unmasked, their
privacy of speech was secured by the
uproar around them. Stanton looked
grimly back.
Lied to me. You were not kept
away from New York by work with
Green. or any other work, for the last
two weeks"
A tinge Of scarlet streaked Floyd's
pallor, he bent his head.
Yes, lied to you," he admitted.
Stanton's gauntleted hand closed on
his wheel.
There was no need Your time was
your own. Floyd; claimed no control
over you. Idon't know why you did 1t,
to be rid Of me for a while, suppose,
but the reason doesn't matter. Last
night l thought good many wild
things about you, and your sister, but
this morning I've got my grip again.
No doubt you had all you could stand
OF me, I'm not precisely lovable and
| would have understood II you had
just told me so. But l will have no
friend | can't trust all the way. Get
in-we will finish this race, and part.
Floyd raised his head and gave to
the stern scrutiny his candid gray
eyes.
Stanton, trust me all the way now.
he appealed. "Can you do that? Can
you take my word that your friendship
is the only thing In the world want

The assistant manager stared in
reproach touched with hysteria. His
collar was wilted. his eyeglasses dan
gled by their cord.

and get them here by tomorrow morn
Ing! What's the matter with you,
Etanton?"
Well. since there is nothing TO do
but eat, come to dinner. Floyd" said
the other.
1T isn't dinner, it's supper" cor.
rected his mechanician. "This is the
country and you had your dinner at
noon. But I'll come, anyhow"
At the table In the course of the
meal, a small teapot was set before
Stanton.
Chocolate, SIR" he was apprised.
why, you had none at luncheon!"
The pompadoured waitress giggled.
NO, sir But the gentleman sent a
boy after some and came down and
saw the cook, and cooks that fond of
nonsense, and she fifty-four next De-

Stanton looked across into Floyd's
mirthful gray eyes,
Il hadn't anything better to do"
was the malicious explanation. "And

drug and then you'd wreck us to-mor-

Uttered the departing maid
"Give me your cup and have some"
Stanton briefly commanded.
"Going to throw it at ME, like you
did that jug of water on the first night
we raced together?" teased his COM
panion. obeying.
Stanton's head lifted slightly. the re.

almost savage in its leap of intense
and tenacious passion. Such glance

and reached for the sugar-bowl with
his customary nonchalance.
Thanks; it's boiling, guess I
won't" Floyd acknowledged. But he
did not look at the other. and his
manner was troubled.
The meal was ended and the even.
ing had commenced, when a telegram
came In from New York.
"Car marked Ruby Co. consigned to
Mercury Co. Coney Island, left here
last night"
Mr.. Green uttered a howl and felt
for the telephone.
They've shipped the car to Coney
Island instead of to Long Branch" he
ragged. "The tires must be out at the
Beach track, or near It,"
Don't telephone; send some one
out there to get them" advised Stan.

"You? You? Travelling and wear

rest. please. Stanton. III send some

Stanton did not go to bed, but he
went into the hotel room across the
hall asd played billiards with three
OF his fellow-drivers. He was less for.

formerly. Floyd had taught him the
art Of companionship. Before the

There Is one thing In which

thing about schools of the United
States is tliac the United States
makes so limited use Of them. Lor

for somebody to suggest that the
school houses be made social centnrs,
that they be used for every kind uf

soon as they began to be used for
conferences some politicians began
to get uneasy.
