CHAPTER XII
Friends From the East.

Friends From the East.
Three days after her return to the
ranch Madeline could not discover any
physical discomfort as a reminder OF
her adventurous experiences. If it had
Ito: been fer the quiet and persistent
guardianship of her cowboys she might
almost have forgotten Don Carlos and
the raiders. Madeline was assured of
the splendid physical fitness to which
this ranch life had developed her, and
that she was assimilating something
of the Western disregard of danger.
A hard ride, an accident, day in the
sun and dust, an adventure with out
laws-these might once have been
matters of large import, but now for
Madeline they were in order with all
the rest of her changed life.
There was never a day that some
thing interesting was not brought to
her notice. Sillwell, who had cease
lessly reproached himself for riding
away the morning Madeline was cap
tured, grew more like an anxious par
ent than faithful superintendent. He
was never at ease regarding her unless
he was near the ranch or had left
Stewart there, or else Nels and Nick
Steele. Naturally, he trusted more to
Stewart than to any one else.

BIG TELESCOPE FOR RUSSIA
instrument Manufactured in British
Factory Weighs Nine Tons and
Is AS Feet Long.

In view of the present condition Of
Russia, it is rather surprising to find
that the Soviet government has or
dered a telescope which is one of the
largest in the world. This telescope
has just been completed in a British
factory, and will shortly be transport
ed to an observatory on the shores of
the Black sea- 1t weighs about nine
tons, and the inside length of the tube
is 45 feet. Heavy as the telescope is,
it is so admirably fitted that it can
De moved by electrical means as easily
as if it We're small portable APP
paratus. The push-button system of
control has been adopted, so that all
the operator has to do to direct
the telescope to any part of the
heavens is to press certain buttons. A
second telescope, almost as large as
this, is being made at the same Brit
ish factory for another observatory in
Russia. So delicate is the work on
these giant instruments that about
three years are occupied in designing
and constructing them.
