that by Ills blessing there comes to

that VIC may be beautiful. but We must
realize that we never can hc hcauti-
ful in Gods sight unless we serve.

chat. and, though he made no allusion
whatever t. Abraham, he saw that
Miss Lisa was not ignorant of the
peddler's scheme, as was evinced by
her red cheeks and sort of timidity
in her manner new to her visitor.
When Jones left they felt like old

he said, taking her hand.

Nevertheless, when he had gone. she

Il was . week later when Frank
paid his second visit. Perhaps he
had seen the peddler in the interval:
certainly he had done . lot Of think

had come to the conclusion that life
without Miss Lisa would be sorry

when he called. he only sat in silence
. good part of the time, conscious Of
forbidding atmosphere about his
hostess.

Both started and looked at each 9th

Lisa, looking charming as the deep
red dyed her face. Il won't have him

But Abraham, his pack on his back,
was already at the door. He looked
imperturbably upon the couple.
Il got some tine samples Of rugs

Suddenly Jones, as IL hypnotized

The velocity of q star seems to be
a factor of it's effective age. Unlike
ordinary human experience, the speed
of a star increases with its advancing
years, and In the whirl of spheres
above US it Is the young who cannot
keep the pace. The average velocity
of stars ranges from about six kilo-
meters, or between three and four
miles, per second for young" stars to
about thirty kilometers per second for
''old" ones. But notable exceptions
occur. At Mount Wilson solar observ-
