CHAPTER XVI.
Found and Lost.


1t was Oliver. Oliver unkempt and
with signs upon him OF nights work
of study or writing; but Oliver!-her
lover once, but now just stranger
into whose hand she must put this let
ter.
She tried to stammer out her
errand; but the sudden pallor, the
starting eyes-the whole shocked. al
most terrified appearance Of the man
she was facing. stopped her. She for
got the surprise. the incredulity OF
mind with which he would naturally
hail her presence at his door In a
place so remote and Of such inacces-
sibility. She only saw that his hands
had gone up and out at sight OF her,
and to her sensitive soul. this looked
like a rebuff which, while expected,
choked back her words and turned her
family flushing cheek scarlet.

incoherent disclaimer of his possible

passed across his eyes. How" Then
his glance, following hers, fell on the
letter which she now remembered to
hold out

to gaze at 1t without reaching to take
it. You could not be found in De-

membered your fondness for this place

books, and so came on q venture

"Mr. Black! Who? What?" He
was still staring at his fathers let
ter; and still had made no offer to
take It.
Read this first" said she.
Then he woke to the situation. He
took the letter. and drawing her in
side, shut the door while he read It.
She, trembling very much, did not
dare to lift her eyes to watch its ef-
feet. but she was conscious that his
back and not his face was turned her
way, and that the moment was the
stillest one of her whole life.
Then there came a rafting noise as
he crushed the letter in his hand.
TELL me what this means" said he,
but he did not turn his head as he
made this request.
Your father must do that" was her
gentle reply. Il was only to deliver

we should get no opportunity later to

Leprosy Not a Modern Menace

/ Tins often work at some handicraft or
occupation which interests them 20 within
a few weeks of the end and can be made
within the limits Of their disease, almost
as happy as the average of their fellows
BY making the sufferers federal wards
this would relieve the individual states
OF their responsibility and put an end to
the disgraceful chickering's and attempts
to shift them to one another, and also
give free right of way across their terri
| tories for the transportation of the pa
tients in a suitable hospital car, which
could be maintained especially for the
purpose.
What makes this national institution
the more necessary is that most of the
inmates of the few leper shelters pro-
vided i'm this country. in Boston Harbor
and at San Francisco, for instance, are
Asiatlc coolies or other laborers from the
tropics of the poorest and least intelli-
gent class; and while these are made
very comfortable, according to their
standards. the atmosphere is, to say the
least of IT, lonesome and uncongenial for
a white patient.
When we have taken this step Of en-
lightenment and protection and justice,
particularly to our brave soldiers and
sailors who may be called upon to take
the risk of contracting this dreadful dis
ease in our tropical possessions, we may
safely dismiss all further fear or uneasi-
ness about the disease from our minds,
for any remaining menace rests almost
entirely upon gross misconceptions.
The first OF these is that the disease is
either spreading or likely to spread in
civilized countries, or rather in the really
civilized parts of so-called civilized coun-
tries. All the evidence points exactly in
the opposite direction.
The facts of the matter are that.
whereas in the fifteenth, aixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, the disease was
extremely common all over Europe and
particularly along it's western coasts and.
indeed. persisted in Brittany. Spain, Ire
land and the west coast of Scotland up
TO the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury. it has now totally disappeared over
nine-tenths of this area and fingers only
as a medical curiosity In a few scattered
leper colonies along the western coasts
OF Spain and France and three or four
larger ones along the coast Of Norway.
In fact, the only region of the civilized
world in which the disease can be said
to be really alive is the Scandinavian
peninsula, and even here among poverty
stricken fishermen, living in a state OF
semi-starvation along that sub arctic
coast. II has shrunk from some 10000 VIC
tims-forty years ago-to only few hun
dred at present.
For some reason civilization and lep-
rosy simply will not meet and when one
comes in the other goes out. A leper at
| large in a modern community is less than
half as dangerous as an ordinary case of
| consumption.

Mysteries Of Weight and Mass

I For instance body that weighs six
pounds on the earth would weigh only
one pound on the moon, while IL taken TO
Jupiter its weight would increase to six
teen pounds.
On Mars " would weigh two and third
pounds, on Venus a little less than five
pounds. and on the asteroid Ceres about
two and a half ounces At the surface
of the sun II would weigh df It could
withstand the heat there), 1876 pounds
Finally. IL you took 1t to the grava-
tional center OF the earth. where attrac-
ton Is balanced in all directions. Il
would have no weight at all. Yet. al
ways and everywhere. the mass OF the
body would remain unchanged.
To forestall quibbles. It may be as well
TO say that even at the center OF the
earth the body would experience a GER
tain attractive force toward the sun. But
to your spring balance Il would be
weightless.
There is one curious. though obvious,
result OF the fact that weight varies
with the attractive force which IL worth
pointing out. II instead of using n
spring balance you should use pair OF
scales or n steelyard in weighing a body
at different points on the earth or on
the surface of differet planets, the
weight would appear to he the same
everywhere. Your six-pound body would
balance six-pound marker just as well
on the moon as on the earth because
each would lose weight in the same pro
portion,
II you went about the universe trying
TO measure weight In different worlds
with a steelyand you would arrive at the
totally false conclusion that all planets
were equal In their gravitative attraction.
Only your muscular sense. or spring
balance, would show you the actual DIFF
ferences.
But, while the steelyard was deceiving
you as to weight. It would be telling you
the absolute truth about mass-viz.. that
mass does not vary with change OF grav-
ity: that two equal masses are always
equal whether each weighs six pounds
or one pound. and that weight may
totally disappear without the slightest
loss OF mass.
There are many very amusing ways In
which you might sport with the protean
property OF weight II once you were free
10 sail the ocean OF interplanetary ether.
You might take on your back n burden
which nearly crushed you 20 the ground
weight would become rapidly less and
less. until, when you arrived within about
1900 miles OF the center OF the moon
: your burden would cease to have any
weight and you also would become
weightless. because you would have
reached the point OF balance between th'
attraction OF the earth and that OF th'
moon.
/ So, all the great planets circiing arount
, the sun gain and lose weight con
!. tinually. according as they are nearer Z
Q or farther from the sun. and from on
Q another, in their orbits. II we measur

Please explain the term mass as used
in physics. as The mass OF bodies is
proportional to their weight also the diff
ference between mass and weight.-Roy
Roper. Baird. Tex"
The mass OF body Is the quantity OF
matter that body contains. and II depends
upon tho bodys density. or the closeness
with which the ultimate particles are
packed together. The weight Of body is
the force with which the earth attracts
IL. This force. called gravity. acts equally
upon every particle in the body.
II two bodies are composed Of precisely
tho same state, then their masses will be
proportional to their sizes. and so will
their weights. But II one OF them consists
OF a substance denser than that OF which
the other Is composed. then the denser Of
the two. although smaller. may possess
the greater mass and the greater weight.
This shows why weight rather than size
Is used to measure the mass OF body.
But. stili, weight is not the same thing
as mass. Weight varies with the distance
from the center OF the earth, but mass
remains unchanged no matter what the
situation OF the body concerned may be.
Thus II you weigh a certain body with
a spring balance and then take that
body TO some other point on the earth
and weigh Il again. in the same manner.
the weight will vary slightly, owing u
Irregularities in the shape OF the earth.
and TO effects rising from the earth's
rotation on its axis although the mass,
or quantity Of matter In the body, is
manifestly unchanged.
II you were 20 travel about the uni
verse instead OF being confined TO the
earth. you would very quickly find out
the difference between mass and weight.

PINNED AT CANAL BOTTOM
Tears Himself Loose and is Brought
Ashore by Heroic Youth.

GLOBE, July 22.-Harry Thompson
was severely injured yesterday morn
Ing about 10 o'clock when an automo-
bile in which he was riding with G. G.
Catlin broke a tie-rod while on steep
grade on the shores of Roosevelt lake
and hurtled into the power canal 25
feet below the road.
The injured man was brought to
Globe last night on Frazier's truck
after he had been given medical aid
at Roosevelt by DR.. R. D. Kennedy
who dashed to the lake in an hour
and thirty minutes after receiving
the call for assistance. Two of Mr..
Thompson's ribs are broken and have
punctured one lung, his body is Sc
verely bruised but his injuries are
not regarded as serious.
Mr.. Catlin was driving the car at
the time of the accident. While the
machine was gliding down the grade
betwene the old cement plant site
and the L. S. R. S. commissary build
ing, the tie rod broke. Realizing in
stantly that the car could not be con-
trolled, Mr.. Catlin called to MI.

The machine tottered for an instant
on the edge of the road and then went
hurting down on top of Mr.. Thompson,
pinning him under about seven feet
of water. How he escaped from IN
der the machine, the injured man
does not know himself. He used al
most superhuman strength in spite
tof his injuries and finally managed
I to free himself from the awful
weight.
| Completely exhausted by his efforts
it was probable that Mr.. Thompson
would have drowned in the swift
waters of the canal had 1t not been
for the heroic action of Charlie Gran
ger, lad about IA years Of age. The
boy took no heed of the likelihood that
he would be drawn down with the
timperiled man and calmly seized Mr..
Thompson's arm and dragged him
ashore.
Mr.. Thompson is representative Of

pany and Mr.. CatEn is state agent

on a three weeks vacation in COM
pany with Lloyd and Ray Potter.
They report splendid fishing in the
streams emptying into the Blue.
The trio also succeeded in killing
bear on the trip. Bruin had killed a
deer a short time before the party
arrived on the spot and scared him
away. That night part of the deer's
carcass was placed in secluded spot
as a trap and a watch set for his
return. Early on the second morn
