It was a good car, though somewhat pa.st its bept, and the driver handled it capably They slipped rapidly out of Mens- ton and were ."oon speeding between green hedgts.

He's not without guta. your Mr. florvllli; I'erkin" To the driver hi' said: "I'll give you a pound if you manage to keep In front of that car." Their driver grinned nervously. "I don't want to get Into trouble, air," he extenuated. "I'll take the responsibility for any trouble." "Very good, sir." They swerved well into the centre of th»f narrow- road and he'd their place there. dancing back Adam could see tiie set grey face of Mr. I'erkin at the wheel. He looked bolh formidable and de.-perate, and for a moment the youn. ger inauB heart sank with the real- ization that he was obviously far from being beaien. He did Hot look the Hort of man who would ever bo content to accept defeat. T-'ie strug- gle was by no means over yet. Still, they had the advantage while they were able to keep in front of htm. I'reseiilly, however, he .saw the pui- siiing car full hack Hiiildenly amid the dust and harsh gialiiig of a prodigi- ous dry skid. Tlieii he saw It swing violently int.i a side road. "He's try- ing lo cut us off," he cried. Their driver forced n slight In. crease of their own speed. ''We're all out, sir," he (â- omplained . "We ran't do much against a car like i,!iat, I'm afraid. Depends how niuili further he has got to go. " Thi'y tore along, swerving reckless, ly round the narrow bends for another mile. Ahead of Iheiii was a junction and as iiliey approached lliis they glimpsed the other car te.irliig ob- li(;uely towards them. Their driver made a last effort and I hen liraked, '•('au't risk it," he snaiiped. "Anyway he won't get round at that speed." liui Mr. Perkin did get round.

"Keep on his track," replied the Professor coolly. "If there's anything in front he'll hit it first." He turned to Aduni.

A man who can take a corner like that within half an hour of be. ing literally frightened out of his wits â- has no nerves at nil as the ordinary person understands them." "Ill Ihe distance they could gee Perkin's car making up a private road Is a young wife doing the right thing by encouraging the attentions of a single young man without the knowledge of her husband? Here is part of a letter I have just received which is self-explanatory: "Dear Mr. St. Clairâ€" I am 23 years old, good-lookinj? and before I was married, four years ago, was popu- lar with both se.xe.s. My hu'sband is older than I am, being 37 years of age, but for all that, I am very much in love with him and he with me. Unfortunately, however, he is called away frequently to work, sometim- es several weeks elapsing beofre he returns hor-^e, and It is impossibli for me to ^o with him on these oc- casions. You will appreciate that I am thus left very lonely, and being young, like to have at least a fairly good time. I have been going out, of course, and on one of these oc- casions, when my husband was away, bc':;ime acri'iainted with a very like- able yeiiMi? man, about my own age. He co.ni'-s from a good family, and took a likinar to me, so that he asked me qui.c 0*^100 to let him take me ciU. T'-ere is nothing emotional about cur friendship; it is entirely platoiiic, but for some reason or other I didn't tell my husband about him, reiilly, I think, because it didn't oc- cur to mc that it was worth telling about. Now that we see each other quite often, it doesn't seem possibb for me to tell my husband, and I am beginning to worry a little, because I wouldn't want him to be worried. Is there anything you can tell me or advise that might help me solve this little problem?" I can quite appreciate the lone- liness that this young married lady has to put up with when her husband is away for !ong stretches, and the temptation to make friends too while away the lonely hours. The difference in the ages of this lady and her hus- b;ind is considerable, and if there was any question of incompatibility or divergence of opinions between them, an alTir of the type that she descri'ocs would certainly complicate matters. However, she says that she is very much in love with her husband and there is, apparently, no bone of con- tention. It thus simplifies the case to 4 matter of loneliness and the necessity of having friends. It is a peculiar fact that in cases of this kind, the friend who appears to constitute a problem is always a member of the opposite sex.* I sup- pose that this is natural because of the liumanness of people and the natural attraction of the sexes. But it certainly provides a source of potential trouble and unhappiness, and in the present case, this is in- creased by the fact that the h'jsband has been kept unaware of the friend- ship. This is ihe point thai can provide the spark of real danger, because the husband is quite likely to place a rather suspicious complexion on the affair when it comes to his attention, and it is certain to do so before long My advice to my correspondent is to tell her husband. After ail, he is not an ogre, and it is a hundred chances to one that if the wife tells him all about it, without placing too vital a stress on it, he will under- stand. Then the young man may be invited to the hoii«e when the hus- band is present, and in that way, a family friendship begun. I have neglected to speak of the possibilities â€" almost probabilities â€" that the young man might eventually feel more than platonic to this young wife, and start further com. plications, because I feel that, at this stage, a frank explanation on the wife's part will clear up any vestige of difficulty arising from the situation.

There was a crashing sound and for a moment tlie air about him was tilled with living ideces of white tim- ber. "Look; as if he'd tiliarged a gate," commenleil the jirofessor. "That must be the entrance drive, I take If." The old boy, Adam rellected, seomed to be enjoying himself. It was the entrance drive, and very soon tliey weie running up it at a decidedly safer speed. They passed over the shattered remains of tihe gate and swung into a curved drive that swept past Ihe front of a neglected building In grey stone whose blank upper windows looked forlornly out on a tangle of hushes that hud once been a garden. Before they had prop. erly stopped .\dani was sciamlding out. He dashed up lo tihe solid old front door, but hardly paused there a moment. It was so obviously not the sort of door one could force tiuick- ly. Hound tlu. house he went, tear- ing bis way through brambles and biisi'-ies. At the back there was an o|icn window and, with scarcely a glance at the rest iif the straggling old-fashioned premises, he sprung over the sill. A HOr.SK OK SHADOWS He was In a large Ill-lit empty room Idiat had a closed door in the far corner. The door opened easily to let blin into a vast shadowy hall. "Keep straight on, Merlston.'' said Mr, Perkin's cold voice. "Across the hall and u|i the stairs If you please." He checked, feeling alarm for the first time at tihe cool menace of the Iman's tone. In the gloom he could distinguish Porklii and three other men, two of them burly fellows, and the third unmistakably Mr. Montada'a buiuli-baclicd nervitor. In Mr. Perk- in's Jiand was something bright, some, thing that even In this light there wag no mistaking. "Do as you're told at once," came tho sneering tones as ho hesitated. "Upstairs with you!

Its Klfect on Slowing; Heiirt] Action Is Put to Test I Drs. T. Cunlil'te Barnes and J. War- ren of the Osborn Zoological Labor, atory, 'i'ale, cut out frogs' hearts, put .â- ^^ome in ordinary water and some '" heavy water. Reporting in Science, they relate that in ordinary water tile frogs' hearts beat ten times in eleven seconds, but In heavy water only ten times in more than sixteen seconds. This slowing effect may have its uses In the treatment of fast hearts. Hut Drs. Barne^ and Warren make no such prediction. More experim- ents must be conducted with higher ijiammalsâ€" rats, rabbits and the like â€" bel'oru heavy water can be prescrib. ed for human beings whose hearts are In a violent tluUer, liesides the kiwest price thus far quoted for heavy water Is $2 a milligram â€" about six- teen drops. That heavy water should retard the heart Is natural. Chemical sys- tems In which heavy hyiliogen is found have less energy than others. Heiico a slowing down shouUI have an effect like that brought about by battling In Ice water. Life may well exist on Mars, says Dr. Helen Sawyer Hogg, of Toronto, one of Canada's three women astro- nomers. "There is oxygen tiiere, though It if .':nly 1-lOOOth ot the content ot our air. In their summer, which is twice as long as ours, the polar Ice caps melt," Dr. Hogg stated. "The only other planet in our solar system on which piiysical conditions for life existed was Venus, which had so much cloud around it it was impossible to pierce it with a tele- scope.'"

Dr. Hogg has come here wilh her husband astroomer, a Toronto grad- uate whom she met at the Harvard observatory. She is discovering "in- constant" stars in certain beautiful circular masses called "globular clusters," which contain as many as 50.000 stars, all in a group brigihter than the sun although iuvislble to the naked eye. Her work confines her to about 100 of the^e multifoliate clusters, all of which are above and below the Milky these stars vary in light, it is pos- sible to work out their distance from the earth," explained Dr. Hogg. Only one or two out of the 50,000 or more stars In the cluster may be variable, so her work Is very pains- taking. First she takes a photograph- ic record; then, some time later, makes other photographs of the same cluster. One negative Is placed over the other to see which stars have var- ied In size. She takes as many as 20 plates of each cluster. Dr. Helen Hogg has already taken •100 plates on eight clusters at Vic- toria; this has taken eight years â€" for tiiere aro complicated mathe- matics to work out too. She has six to eight more clusters to work on here and aach will lake about two AF arnier s Luck A despatch from Dundalk, Ont., to u Toronto paper, says: "Hardluck has been dogging U.

Planting of 104,000,000 trees on state and nationil forest lands in 1934 sets a yearly record to date in the United States, reports the Amer- ican Tree Association. The repoit sho'.vs more than 8ti,204.000 trees were planted on state forest areas of more th.^n 85,000 acres. On the ncti^mai forests there were planted nuiie th.nn 7^.000,000 trees on more than 7r,0tr0 acres. Plantiiig programs for 1935 are now wtil advanced and the expec- tation is that there will be consid- erable increajt in plantings on state forests ^/hile it is expecied 100.- 000,000 trees will be p'antcd on na- tional foi-ests. There are Spring planlings in the shelter belt area aggregating 2,000,000 trees. This is a small amount compared with what can be done in the same area in the proposed 10-year planting pro- gram, but the 2,000,000 seedlings arc al! that are available.

Their re- morseless ticking away of the years, unhurried and unfeeling, is inhuman indeed. When men first invented an arti- ficial means of recording time they invented the first robot. And now that the robot has been harnessed to electricity the secret of perpetual motion is in sight, and the last frail excu.se for unpunctuality has been swept away. The Exhibition of Clocks now be- ing shown in t.ondon is extremely interesting. Clocks of all ages, from models showing the earliest known method of recording time to shining little engines encased in steel and mirror glass personifying the pres- ent day, are on display. -A. striking example of tho charges which h.ave been wrought ' during the pa.st twenty-five years is manifest.

Ther« is comparatively small difference be- tween these 1910 models and thost made two and three hundred yean earlier. But match them with the wonder ful clocks of today and toraon-ow and you will see changes so great that the same name seems hardlj applicable. These newest clocks are like mo- dern life itself â€" hard, brittle, shin- ing, crytic; devoid of eveiythin? that could possibly be considerec superfluous.
