Saws Moon Is Oval Shaped.

Astronomers will await with inter
est details OF the experiment" car
ried out by Professor Stiattesi at Bo-
logna by which he claims to have
demonstrated that the moon is oval
shaped.
The moon is more easily measured
than any other heavenly body, but
though 1t has been measured thou
sands OF times no difference has been
detected between its polar and equa-
torial diameters. A clergyman recently
put forward the theory that the side
of the moon always turned away from
the earth is OF the same size and
shape as the great pyramid which, ac-
cording to Revelations, forms the
New Jerusalem" Eventually, SO as
serts the author of the theory, the
moon will fall on the earth. and the
hemisphere turned earthward will
bury itself in our planet. while the
pyramidal New Jerusalem will project
above the rack and ruin OF the ele-
ments as the Celestial City, where the
faithful are to spend eteraity.
This remarkable lunar theory has
been published with a preface by the
bishop OF Exeter

He slipped away at this, grinning 70
himself, and sat down to watch the
plain. All about him lay the waving
grass land, tracked up by the hoofs OF
cattle that had vanished In the track
of war. In the distance he could see
the line OF fence and the ruins of a
house. The trail which he had fol.
lowed led on and on to the north. But
all the landscape was vacant. except
for his grazing horses. = Above the
mountains the midday thunder-caps
we're beginning to form: the air was
very soft and warm. and He woke
up suddenly to find his head on his
knees.
"Ump-um-m," he muttered, rising up
and shaking himself resolutely, this

derclouds over the mountains rose
higher and turned to black: they let
down skirts and fringes and sudden
stabs Of lightning, while the wind
sucked In from the south. And then,
with slash of rain. the shower was
upon them.
At the first big drops Gracia stirred
uneasily in her sleep. She started up
as the storm burst over them; then, as
Bud picked up the saddle-b blankets and
spread them over her. she drew him
down beside her and they sat out the
storm together. But it was more to
them than a sharing of cover, patient
enduring of the elements, and the
sweep Of wind and rain. When they
rose up there vas a bond between
them and they thrust and parted no
more.
They were friends, there in the rush
of falling water and the crash of light
ming overhead When the storm was
over and the sun came out they smiled
at each other contentedly without fear
of what such smiles may mean.

CHAPTER XVI.

Though men may make a Jest OF it
in books, it is solemn thing to kill
a man. even to be near when one is
killed. If Gracia had slain Del Rey
herself in a passion her hot blood
might have buoyed her up, but now
her whole nature was convulsed with
the horror of it and she wilted like a
flower.
An hour before she had burned with
hatred of him, she had wished him
dead and sought the man who would
kill him. Now that his life had been
shipped off between two heart-beets
she remembered him with pity and
muttered a prayer for his soul. For
Hooker, for De Lancey she had no
thought, but only for the dashing
young captain who had followed her
to his death.

realized only that she was growing

as she swayed uncertainty in the sad
die. She slid down into his arms and
he laid her gently in the shade.

and pretty soon you can eat"

There was a shade OF bitterness in
his voice that did not escape her, and
she was careful not to allude to Phil.
