At lunch, that day Judy's heel' eY'e had not failed to note somethieg amise With Alan. Ile had come in late, and, from the expression on his face, ehe gatiurea that he lied found some fresh cause for disquiet. He was silent! through the meal, then, when Claud twitted him, he became boisterously tacative, But Judy did not question. In his • own time, doubtless, Alan would tell hen She, somehow, guessed that it had to do with Peter Gervock and the long talk they had on the previous night. Very probably he had gone ever to The Lees to -continue it, and Peter and he had not been able to see eye to eye. When they got together he the Pool that evening, and Claud had gone upstairs, Alan would doubt- less tell her Until then she could wait, Claud, hearing the distant tinkle of the tea -bell joined Judy in the small drawing -room which she had used all through her father's illness. It was -very small and pleasant room, which required little fuel to warm it—a con- sideration when funds for household expenses are low. "Alan wasn't with you, Claud?" said Judy, when he entered the room. "No., 1haven't seen him since lunch." • "He isn't smoldng in the Pool, for', 1 have been there," said Judy medi- tatively. "Perhaps he has gone to The Lees." 1 "What for? He wouldn't see old: Peter, and he isn't so very fond of Aunt Isabel," said Claud -with his odd smile 'Isn't Alan fond of Aunt Isabel?" asked Judy innocently. "I thought he was." "He isn't very fond af any of them Just now," said Claud, as he made free with the buttered scones. "Last night he was most awfully hipped. He'l never rest, Judy, till he gets quit of • Peter." • "Ras he told. you how far in we are with him, Claud?" asked Judy, with an •odd shrinking. "I've been afraid to ask him. Claud shook his head. "He hasn't mentioned a suzn, but it's deep, J'udy, and it was a mistake on the paters part, poor old chap. Peter is all right as far as he goes, but to owe money to him is loathly. It ;De -tree -sat Cambridge for me every time I think of it. He has a way of look- ing and talking about us as• if eve existed by his mere good pleas-ure." "Oh, Claud! Do you feel like that too? Why didn't you speak out be- fore?" "I hadn't the right," said Claud quietly. "It's been a beastly muddle right through, but I thing that Alan will pull things together. He meant to, anyway, by what he said last night, and to get quit of Peter, trhat's his •fhst objective." • "I hope he will be able to, but I don't just see how," said Judy, with a • prodigious sigh. "Short of selling the • place, how are we to get free?" "Oh, Alan • won't • do that! Sell • Stair!" repeated Claud with an odd expression on his sallow face. "That could never happen! Why, it would make the pater turn in leis grave, to say nothing about the rest of the • Ranktnses! Judy, you wouldn't like that?. urely you haven't' advised Alan to it?" • "I!" said Judy, with a little sob, • half -strangled in her throat, "If you Want to see the end of Judy Rankine, pat her out of Stair. But I wish. I •knew where he has gone this after- noon. 1 don't like eilent fits ha him. They're not natural to him. Now, • when you are silent, nobody minds." • "Don't worry. Probably he's only at The Lees, continuing the argument. • Pmafraid we must leave Alan to work the thing out on his, own lines. • You may trust him, Judy. He's going te tackle it with all his might. He'll free Stair yeti And as soon as I'm. tlusetzgh Pll put my shoulder to the • wheel, too, and help for all I'm • worth!"„ • He spoke with some emotion, to which Sudy's starting tears quickly re - Span ded.

What a mistake It is to ha.ve money transactions with relativeer "I'm With you there Judy," said • Claud, with great heartieese. "I often Wondered how my father could bear to have Peter poking round here as much as he did." "Latterly, poor dear, it didn't mat- iAr much to him," said Judy, rather painfully. "But whatever happene, We tnuatn't blame Sather, Claud, He was a good father to us," not blaming him, my dean Far he it from mei" said Claud, with quick erity. "But there ere things, of curno, a chap can't help geeing.

"I'll just catch him before the even- ing eeryice. I may ever go to it, so you won't anind if I'm not back to supper?" "I won't mind, a course, dear boy," said Judy, too much absorbed in her oddly growing concern for the one brother to have much thought for the other. It had ever been so. Judy was not even aware that there was a very at- tractive daughter at the manse, and that it was Cissy Bellenden who had first awakened the spark of personal ambition in Claud's heart! She went to the stalele-yard and watched him ride off on the rather shabby bicycle that was, in a manner, public property at Stair. As she turn- ed back to the house the clock in the stable tower chimed the half-hour after five. It was a lovely spring evening now --so still and sunny, so 'typical of , April that it simply lured one to re -1 main out of doors. After taking brief counsel with herself, Judy decided that she would walk to The Lees. It was probable that, in the course of his stroll, Alan had drifted in that direction, and they could, return to- gether. • She put on an old sun -bonnet, took a shepherd's crook from the stand in the cloak -room, and -went round to the stables to get the two setters—rezn- nant of the once sporting kennels al Stair. They were rather feeble now, but always enjoyed a run on the hill. Frequently, as she walked, Judy made pause tolook at , the sea, on which lay the most exquisite opales- cent light. The craft on its breast seemed to sail like painted. ships on a painted mean, and the peace and n yo e scene sank into the girl's heart and seemed, • in some 'those who had gone away. strange way, to bring her nearer to No hint of' danger or disaster solem it f th troubled her at the moment, and she sauntered on, enjoying her solitude and her surroundings to the full. The dogs pattered on ahead, not so eagerly or wildly as they would have done ten years before, but, presently, she heard both barking furiously and continu- ously, as if some hated obstacle bar- red their path. She quickened her steps, not desir- ing them to frighten or annoy any of the Sunday strollers who might hay made their way to Barassie They were not forbidden on the Stair side of the hill, though -everywhere within The Lees boundaries there were no- tices up at regular intervals warning trespassers that they would be prose- cuted. , It was about half a mile from the front door of Stair to the march dyke dividing the two places, and as Judy carne over the spur of the hill, -within sight of the clustering roofs and chim- neys of 'The Lees, she saw that the two dogs, still barking furiously, had made pause at the near side of the dyke. • • • Her clear eyes presently discerned something lying there, prone on the ground --the figure of a man! For a moment a sudden terror seized her, for though country -born and bred, she was mortally afraid of tramps and other pests who make the roads and woods and hills unsafe for wonlon- folke. But the instinct of succour was too strong upon her to permit her to go back. The Man could not be asleep merely, or the furious barking, close to his ears, would have aroused hirn. He must, therefore, be hurt, or have had a seizure of some kind. , A few more stefs and sOmething gripped her heart as the familiar out- • line of the figure -fined her eyes. Next minute she was kneeling by her bratlier's side. (To be continued.) MR Frank Dieksee, RA,hs been elected preaident of the Royal Aeuthuttr, sueeeeding Sir .A.stan Webb, retired, dtie to age limit.

He was trying it out in a sort of grand survey of .the 'heavens when there fell 'within its held a stranger to this shepherd of the stars. It was a faint point of light against the night sky, with a slighty greenish tinge. Sir William ,did not suspeei, at first, that it was a planet, a hitherto un- known member of that group which circles about the SIM, and to which our world bethngs., The planets Sir. Wil- liam knew had neve bee ed —that is to say within the memory of the ..race. 'I" Man had grown up with Venus, IVIercurY, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn as his familiar Companions. • He had become well acquainted with their movements. He had woven them into hie myths and his religion. Re had made them arbiters, of his, dee- tiny, and lead his future in their pass- age through the signs of the zodiac. It did t s , e who joined With Sir William. in ob- serving this new body, that its dis- covery had pushed the boundary of the solar SYstem further inter space. For a time it was called Herechell, after it e discoverer, but the name now I generally achepted is Uranus, which , preserves the mythological naznencla- tire already- bestowed on the others. ; 17ranus was oldest of the Greek gods and the first ruler among them. ••The'astronomers, after watching him for a while, began to calculate the di- • mensiOns of his orbit, the speed of his motion • and ether intereSting facts They reached certain. eonclusions based, upoia all the known factors. 1 Uranus should behave thus and so. At ' a certain time he should be here --at another certain time he shouid be there. And he was—approximately. But approximation did. not satisfy the star -gazers. They wanted exactitude. They. 'checked back their calcula- tions and fotmd no errors. Whatever was wrong, they decided, must be astrenomer, Sir William Herechell. He had made a telescope for him- concerning him. the solar system whose influence was affecting the new planet. Then each figured mit about where that body ought. to lie in order to prodace the effects whichl, they had noted. - A.danas arrived at a theoretical posi- tion first—a few months ahead of Le- verrier. He sent his calculations and hypothesis to the British astronomer royal for verification by telescope, but [ the latter was too busy to attend to it However the observatory to- which Leverrier soon after sent ainaost . ex- actly similar calcelations began all linmediate search, and presentlF.an nounced the discovery ' of an eighth planet whose position and. nature ex- plained completely all • the mysteries of the seventh's movements. This eighth and last to be discovered of the ,planets was named Neptune. We have known him only. since 1846. I. confess that two- billion miles -- more or less—is a long way to traVel for a life lesson, but it has always seemed to me that in this :very won- derful, end very beautiful, story of the manner In which we found an un- suipected member of our -solar sys- tem by noting the 'influence of hie un- seen presence, is .a. eplendid illustra- tion of a. truth fundamentally import- ant to right and. ,effective living.
