Seven comets which have been seen
On previous occasions are expected to
return TO the vicinity Of the earth
this year. II they all keep their ap-
pointments, and the average NUM-
Der Of new comets turn up, astronomers
will have at least a full dozen under

Der 81. But there is reason to fear
that some Of the seven old comets
have met with mishaps while bowling
along through space, and that they
have either been shattered into un-
recognizable debris, or diverted into
quite different orbits. There is, how
ever, little romance now In comet
finding, as was the case when heroic
comet-hunters swept the skies all night
In the hope of dropping on one. Now
they set traps for them-combina-

earth on its axis-and go to bed until
morning, when they develop the plates
and examine them for the telltale
marks which betray any comets that

regard the snake with superstitious

for past wrongs. Lobengula was the
king Of Matabele Land and was long
feared as a powerful warrior and Per

he was defeated In battle In which
800 of his men were killed. He then
became a fugitive from his kingdom.

then demurred.
'But I don't know these old dances
'Neither do Tor any other for that
matter" he confessed with sudden
bOldness. But does that make any
difference? Please!"
She glanced quickly toward the
door. Maurice Rodaine was still talk
ing. and Fairchild saw a little CLEAN
come into her eyes-the CLEAN that
shows when woman decides to make
some one pay for rudeness.
Fairchild's hand was still extended.
Again Anita Richmond glanced toward
the door, chuckled to herself while
Fairchild watched the dinpIes that the
merriment caused, and then-Fairchild
forgot the fact that he was wearing
hobnailed shoes and that his clothes
were worn and old. He was going
forward to take his place on the dance
floor, and she was beside him!
Some way, as through a haze, he
saw her. Some way he realized that
now and then his hand touched hers,
and that once, as they Whirled about
the room. in obedience to the monarch
on the fiddler's rostrum, his arm was
about her waist, and her head touching
his shoulder. 1t made little difference
whether the dance calls were Obeyed
after that. Fairchild was making up
for all the years he had plodded, all
the years in which he had known moth
ing but a slow, grubbing life, living
them all again and rightly, in the few
swift moments of a dance.
The music ended, and laughing they
returned to the side OF the hall. Out
of the haze he heard words, and knew
indistinctly that they were his own:
"Will-win you dance with me again
tonight?"
Selfish ~ she chided.
But will you?"
For just a moment her eyes grew
serious.
