nearer the sun in winter than
in summer-H. H., Chicago"
The earth is nearer the sun IN winter
than IN summer, in the northern heml-
sphere, but in the southern hemisphere
the earth Is farther from the sun in win
ter than in summer. Inc reason Is two
fold. First. because the orbit of the
earth in which it travels once a year
around the sun is not a circle. but an
eclipse. and, second, because the axis
round which the earth rotates once
every day is not upright but is in
clined in such a direction that when
the earth is on one side Of the sun the
northern end (which we will call the
upper end). leans toward the sun, and
when It is on the opposite side the same
end leans away from the sun.
It is summer in either hemisphere
when that hemisphere leans toward
the sun. and winter when ii leans
away. Now the sun is not situated in
the center Of the elliptical orbit OF the
earth. but in one of the two foci. which
every ellipse has. The focus occupied
by the sun is about 100000 miles from
the center.
1t so happens that the northern end
of the earth's axis leans toward the
sun when the earth is in the part Of
the ellipse which is fartherest from the
focus and away from the sun when the
earth is in the part of the cliiose which
IS nearest Thus summer in the north
ern hemisphere, occurs Wnen the earth
is farthest from the sun and winter
when II is nearest In the southern
hemisphere exactly the opposite state
OF things exists.

CHAPTER XII


y EVERY marriage where there is
a marked disparity in age between
the contracting parties the element
of probable jealousy must be taken into
account. The elderly wife of man still
IN his prime knows pangs of jealousy I'M
suspected by her younger sister.
The middle-aged husband of a pretty
gTl IS suspicious and on the alert for
proof that she finds younger men more
attractive than he. Especially is this
true where the husband is coarse in
Ilore and cannot understand motives
and aims higher than his own.
Such was the case with Augustus
Reeves. Even his self-esteem did not
blind him to the truth in the weeks
since his marriage his wife had never
expressed any affection for him, nor
mad she returned any demonstrations
on his part. She had simply submitted
to his caresses, ccasiOnally turning
pale instead of flushing under his re-
sounding kiss. He was learning TO
his chagrin, that to own woman and
TO be loved by her were two entirely
different things
Yet he told himself fiercely that he
did own this pretty creature.
Therefore the thought that she might
prefer the companiOnship of young
people to his society was not only an
insult to his sense of ownership, but a
stab to his self-love.
perhaps some such thought moved
Augustus Reeves to discourage the af-
fectiOuate intercourse between jana
and her parents. Ezra Hardy and his
wife were in the habit of humoring
their child. They would keep up this
habit now. Through them she would
remain in touch with her old life. This
was not safe.
Becomes Alarmed
Therefore this evening. when he
asked Mrs. Evans where his wife had
gone and was informed that she had
started into the church with Ruth
Crosby half hour ago, he took alarm.
Not that he expected anything more
serious than a confidential talk with
her former chum. But even Of this he
disapprOved.
Striding across the guild-room he
flung open the door leading into the
darkened church. The picture thus re-
vealed incensed him.
For there, in the darkened interior,
stood his wife, her face flushed, her
