presently Eva and Philip were
walking back alone.
The soft warm darkness was all
about them. 1t was an ideal night
for lovers. but Eva and her hus-
band walked . pace apart. and
neither of them knew how tho
others pulses were racing, or how
much each OF them loneed to break
down the barrier between Them.
Eva stole 4 glance At Philip. He
was walking rather fast. AMI with

violence.

Philip opened the door and stood
aside for her to enter. He glanced
at her with jealous eyes as she
stepped into the light Of the hall.

the stairs "Good-nightv' she said
hurriedly.
Philip suddenly caught her hand;
she shrank back against the wall to
get az far away from him as she
could. and he imprisoned her there
with an arm on either side OF her.

he said rapidly. You were right

He saw how the color ebbed from
her face, and how wide her eyes
grew, and 1t gave him q sort OF
angry pleasure to know that he had
some power over her. even II 1t were
only to make her afraid Of him.
Somewhere upstairs a door banged,
and Philip moved quickly.
Eva saw her opportunity and
seized II; she lodged under his arm,
and ran across the han and up the
stairs.

being due only to the regularly re-
peated excursions Of the sun, now to
one side and now to the other side
OF the equator.
The latter part OF this statement il
true. but the variation In the in
tensity of the seasons cannot be due
simply to the change in the declina-
ton of the sun. A series of ex-
traordinarily hot summers or cold
winters must have for cause some
corresponding strengthening or
weakening Of the solar radiation.
A common Misunderstanding is
that the sun spots, which recur IN
fairly regular periods Of about eleven
years, shut off a perceptible amount
of the suns light and heat. and thus
alter the amount of radiation reach
ing the earth. e But sun spots

was a little afraid. of her sons wife;
the memory of her own share In this
luckiess marriage was a constant
source Of remorse TO her. --.-.
She thought that Philip had aged
years; IL tore her heart to sec the
hard unhappiness Of his eyes.
The evening before they were to
leave the Highway House Philip
wandered round the garden alone:
Now IL had come to the point, he
hated going. II had been par
ticularly fine September, and as yet
there were only a few signs OF
autumn, only the faiptest tinge OF
yellow and gold In the trees.
Philip was essentially . country
man. He loved an outdoor life. and
the thought of an apartment-ex-
pensive and luxurious though 1t
might be-stifled him.
He went down to the stables where
he had found his wife that night
talking to the groom. and stroked
the soft nose of the brown horse
which she had been fondling then.
He felt somehow as X II were say
ing good-by to everything for ever.
Ii was like shutting up a book
which one has enjoyed reading. and
which has unexpectedly ended In
tragedy.
He went all over the gardens and
out into the fields beyond. Every
step of the way he was reminded OF
his father. Almost every tree and
gateway had some vivid memory of
the many times they had gone this
way together.
He fingered out into the sunset 80
long that he was late for dinner.
Eva and Mrs, Winterdick had al
ready begun when he got in. 1t
was rather a silent meal.
After the first quick glance at her
husband Eva knew instinc0ve1y
what he was feeling. Though he had
said no word to her. she knew that
he hated leaving his home, and that
this last night was one OF great
sadness for him.

ELENE was engaged to

She waited while he finished his

4 week after the announcements

open the drawer At the top.
This contained three 1,cent pieces,

She drew a long shuddering breath
OF relief. The morphine was snugiy

accessible place, and then she went
to the dining room TO mix the drink
that she had promised to bring him.
That first drink of Mrs. Herriot's
mixing did not affect him much; but
the second did. He became much
calmer. He noticed this himself. He

-HIS earth has revolved In the
presence Of the sun for some
millions of years, and has
been inhabited by race of two
legged featherless creatures pos
sessed OF considerable intellectual
acuteness for some tens of thou
sands of years at least, and yet
the question is debated whether or
no variations in the radiation Of
the sun are the cause of f1uctua-
tons in the intensity of the
weather and the seasons on the
earth.
The sun is a variable star. That
fact has been established beyond
all question. The sun is the sole
known source of the heat and the
other forms of radiation that warm
and vivify the earth's surface.
That is another well-established
fact. '.-
Put these two facts together and
how can anyone reach any other
conclusion than that the observed
variations OF the suns radiant en-
ergy are the cause of the meteor
illogical variations experienced on
the earth In close synchronism
with the solar changes?
To account for all the caprices of
the atmosphere, lying on the irregr-
lar surface of the globe and excited
by the varying solar rays. would be
about as easy as to foretell every
motion of the currents in a vessel Of
heated water.
A special difficulty in the way of
popular acceptance of the theory
that the character OF the weather on
the earth follows periodic changes
In the sun is that such changes do
not manifest themselves in ways

She turned off the lights and
watched him shamble sleepily off
to his bedroom. When she thought
that he had had sufficient time to
undress she carried the tall glass Of
ice water to his door and knocked.
He was lying on his bed fully
dressed. He could hardly lift his
eyelids. After a few swallows of
water he fell sound asleep.
The drug seemed to have erased
many OF the lines from his face
which suffering had put there. His
breathing was easy and natural; he
had the expression of one who has

solicitude took Frank Manners feet
in her lap and began to unlace his
shoes.
