A STIRRING ROMANCE
BY Arthur Stringer.

why're you so set against givin'
Torrie her freedom7"
"I1l answer that question by ask
ing another" was Storrow's retort.
"Can any such action as that be
taken in city like this without
having the whole sordid mess drag

can't cook up q case like this and

havin' the case unopposed. And
even then they'll sure get II into big
type, for the stars Is what the rubes
want to sit up nights readin' about.
TIN be banded, all right"
The stricken look that crept into
his eyes at the same time that q
deeper color swept up over his face
did not escape her. She studied her
half-empty beer glass for full min
ute before speaking again.
This doesn't listen like painless

idear that I'm not for you. kidv' -
Storrow continued to brood over
what Fannie had said as he took
her home to her rooming house
and left her at that side-street
rookery which stood as a sort of
ironic monument to her respect
ability. Even after he had turned
back into Broadway, and without
being conscious Of either time or
direction moved northward' with
the thinning tide OF midnight strag-
giers, he continued to review the
situation which Fannie had revealed
to him.
II had been a tangled skein, he
admitted as he crossed Columbus
circle and surrendered to the a.
lent invitation Of the Park and its
appeasing wintry solitudes, q vel
ter OF bright threads and dark. It
now seemed without purpose, un-
less one were willing to dignity
as purpose q constant and unrea-
soning hunger for happiness. Yet
all the world wanted to be happy,
he contended as he strobe on, fol-
lowing the curving driveway deeper
into those midnight solitudes until
the twin rows Of lamps and the
stately elms reminded him that he
had reached the Mall. And he had
done only what all the world did.
He stopped, in the midst of that
night as mild as a night In May,
and stared up at the stars that
hung above the tangled lacery Of
the elm tops. Then he looked east.
ward and westward, toward Fifth
avenue and Eighth, from which
even now the studded noises Of the
city stole to him. But they came
unsteady, moderated and modulat-
ed by distance. And that, he told
himself as he paced the whispering
quietness Of the Mall, Is what life
must be; an achieved and guarded
tranquility In the midst Of tumult.

Man and Denli-GOd
A TRIBUTE TO OUR GREAT THINKERS

Put into O few words. Darwin's
story told how the moon had
sprung from the earth under the
action Of solar tidal forces operat-
ing upon q swiftly rotating Wis
cous or semi-fluid globe. Then II
told how, as q result of the reac-
ton of other tides formed after
she was separated from the earth.
the moon was gradually pushed
away from her mother globe in q
widening spiral until she reached
her present distance Of nearly
100000 miles.
Next the story took up the pres
ent and the future. and told how
by the friction. Of the tides which
she raises in the oceans. the earth's
rotation is being almost imper-
ceptibly yet surely slowed down,
while at the same time these very
tides act to push the moon still
farther from the earth, 30 that both
the day and the month are length
ening, but the day Is growing faster
than the month.
But, the story goes, somewhat
gingerly, to tell the truth, another
step into q vastly remoter future,
when In consequence or the tides
raised by the sun in the oceans
acting upon the moon contrarily to
her own tides, she will be brought
spirally back again to rest finally
upon the bosom Of the mother earth
who bore her.
This tidal friction theory Of the
origin OF the moon won immediate
general acceptance, partly, perhaps,
because 1t fairly took the breath of
the astronomer and the geologist
by its holiness and its magnificent
imaginative reach. Besides II was
imposing as a mathematical tour de
force. More recently, however, and
In some cases apparently only be-
cause II stood in the way of the OBJ
jectors' own theories, there has
been a disposition to decry 1t. This
brings us to the situation of the
Astronomical Society few weeks
ago.
Prof. Ernest w. Brown, who
Is probably the greatest living mas
ter OF the mathematical problems
presented by the slightly cratic
motions OF the moon. told the So
ciety that his studies had led him
to the same conclusion at which
Darwin had arrived, viz: that the
rotation OF the earth Is becoming
slower because of the friction OF
the tides raised by the moon. He
estimated that the rotation period
OF the earth was heightened by
this cause to the extent of one
second every thousand years!
II is the very minuteness Of this
quantity that makes its statement
sensational. for does not the achieve
ment OF discovering The loss Of one
second In a thousand years seem n
challenge to the demigods to match
it7

came to light and all his
admirers rejoiced. The boy had

For a long time the boy did
nothing to justify his choice of a

And then suddenly he leaped into

And the girl he'd loved when he

Undoubtedly any woman Ia JUS

years while her explorer husband
Is off on the search for a rivers
source or a pole or on some high
quest which will change the face
Of the map?
The little woman who stood by
isn't she a figure to appeal to
our imaginations?
When we think back to child
hood 1t was mother who stood by.
She believed In her boys and girls.
She had faith in their gifts. She
SO respected and encouraged their
little talents, she so believed in
their dreams that the children she
had faith in found themselves
strengthened by her belief. And
what was only a dream became q
high call.
In the ancient fable Hercules
strove and strove in vain for a
long time with the giant Antaeus.
and then at last Hercules discov-
cred that every time he threw his
opponent Antaeus rose with new
strength. For the earth was the
giants mother. And her touch re-
stored him. So finally Hercules
seized the powerful giant in his
arms and held him UP until the
strength of Antaeus died in his
bones. And what defeated him
was that he could no longer find
renewal on the bosom or Mother
Earth.
So all of us derive strength from
the love Of our mothers. And so
In later life men and women come
to find new strength and inspiration
from the one whose love has come to
mean everything.
1t is beautiful to reward success
with laurel wreaths. 1t is crafty

none to cheer them on when they
began their journey. But won't
