CHAPTER IN.

On the day following Jeans meet
ing with Conrad's mother she left
for the city. 1t was necessary to
break the news to her own family
and to pack her clothes and crate
some of the things she wanted in
her new home. Conrad was to come
down for her the following week
end, and, in the meantime, he was
planning to get work of some kind.
To jeans suggestion that he come
to the city. he had shaken his head.
That's impossible. now. | couldn't
afford it, and besides there'c mother.
She'd hate moving to the city, and
1t wouldn't be fair to leave her"
It wasn't until Jean was on the
train and actually on her way to
town that she found herself drawing
a breath of relief Wonderful TO be
going back TO town, to the sweep
and excitement of the city. to the
life she loved and knew. OF course,
without Conrad things wouldn't be
the same. She would rather live in
Hamilton with him than anywhere
else without him, if only they could
be alone.
She was too clever not to realize
that Mrs. Morgan was prejudiced
against he.. After those first terri :
BILE moments, Conrad's mother had
been kind enough. She had taken
the girl upstairs to the guest room.
and later when Jean had come down
stairs she had allowed her to help
in the preparation OF the evening
meal On the surface things We're
smooth enough, but Jean felt the
barrier between them. Occasionally
she caught Mrs. Morgan's eyes upoa
her in shrewd observation. 1t made
her feel uncomfortable and she could
not help wondering If things We're
going to be this way always.
But all of her doubts were swept
from her mind when she arrived at
the Grand Central Station. She was
thrilled at the prospect of breaking
the news to the family. Even ii

Tides in the Earth.

Everybody knows that the tides IN
the ocean are caused by the pull or
attractive force of the moon on the
oceans, and that high and low tlde
are dependent on whether given
part of the ocean is presented toward
or away from the moon az the earth
rotates. Less obvious is the fact the
moon. and to lesser extent the more
distant sun. is eXerting exactly tne
same pull on the solid parts OF our
sphere, the continents. The water re-
spends to the pull readily because IL
is a fluid Does the solid earth ever
respond? Theoretically, it should,
however. slightly, and actually, &C
cording to students of earthquakes
and volcanoes. it often responds vio-
lently. Specialists in these sciences
believe that an earthquake or vol
canic center occurs along some line of
weakness in the earth's crust, ana
that the thing which determines at
what moment violent activity OF these
forces shall begin is partly the tidal
pull of the sun and moon at their
maximum on the solid crust OF the
earth.
Now what do YOU know about that?

OF course, the velocipede will have

The better velocipedes are made OF

older he will want larger wheels for

He will want to try it out around the
