Earth's Journey.

Our worlds journey In space Is a
long one, IL we are to accept the con-
illusions OF DR.. Turner of the Uni
versity observatory of Oxford and
Prof. II. G. Plummer, royal astron-
omer OF Ireland. Recent astronom-
ical work suggests that the sun and
its planets form a single unit in a
vast system, the stars in which,
though separated by enormous dis
tances, have a common center Of
gravity, and in response to gravita-
ton all move in unison like a stupen-
dous machine. The paths Of these
stars, instead OF being nearly circu-
lar, like those of the planets around
the sun, are much like the oseilla-
tions OF a pendulum. The calcula-
lions show that on this elongated
course c;ir sun must travel 100000

But the result upon her was not to

ready to sustain her invalid through

ming had deepened to oppression, was
unnoticed for the moment The fears
of an hour past had been forgotten.
Their attention was too absorbed in
what was going on before them, for
even a glance overhead.
Suddenly Mr.. Challoner spoke.

has asked to go up with him?"
1t was Oswald who answered.
"He has never told me. He has
kept his own counsel about that as
about everything else connected with

that was not to bother about him
any more; that he had found the as

His Great Hour.


Saturday night at eight o'clock.
So the fiat had gone forth, with no
concession to be made on account OF
weather.
AS Oswald came from his supper
and took a look at the heavens from
the small front porch, he was deeply
troubled that Orlando had remained
so obstinate on this point. For there
were ominous clouds rolling up from
the east, and the storms In this region
of high mountains and abrupt valleys
were not light, nor without danger
even to those with feet well-planted
upon mother earth.
II the tempest should come up be-
fore eight!
Mr.. Challoner, who. from some mys-
terious impulse OF bravado on the part
OF Brotherson, was TO be allowed to
make the third in this small band OF
spectators, was equally concerned at
this sight, but not for Brotherson. His
fears were for Oswald, whose slow
ly gathering strength could lily bear
the strain which this additional anx-
iety for his brothers life must impose
upon him. AS for Doris, she was in
state OF excitement more connected
with the past than with the future.
That afternoon she had laid her hand
in that of Orlando Brotherson, and
wished him we'll She! in whose breast

Continued knocking-nothing more
With an outburst OF wrath, which
made the hangar ring, Orlando lifted
his fist to answer this appeal in his
own fierce fashion from his own side
of the door. but the impulse paused at
fulfillment, and he let his arm fall
again in rush OF self-hatred which
II would have panied his worst en-

II reached his side, the knock came

Orlando reached for his key. But be-

The man confronting him from the
darkness was Sweetwater.

Never had he looked more dangerous

Though 1t may not have lasted long
by the clock, the instant OF breathless
contemplation of each others features

drowning men are said to live over

car. 1t acted like peal to battle.
After all, man must take some risks
in this life, and his heart was in this
trial Of a redoubtable mechanism In
which he had full faith. He could not
say no to the prospect Of being the
first to share a triumph which would
send his name to the ends of the
earth; and, changing the trend Of his
sentence, he repeated with a calmRess
which had the force of a great de-
