Cis Pratt r,2" A Surprise Br MARTIN BRADFORD I am a college professor and add to my Income by lectures on astronomy One November day I started to walk from the town of A., where I bsd Just given a lecture, to the town of B , where I was to give one that night. The weutber was Indlnn summer and delightful. Some of the trees were In te In sbeojllng their leaves, and the wood were here and there still decorated with patches of scarlet, brown and deep green. On emerging from a cut through which the wood ran I saw a msu walking ahead of me. I don't mind a companion now and then In my walks, so I hastened my puce and caught up wltb blm. 1 found him to be about thirty year old. dressed In shabby gen teel clothes and of an Intellectual cast of countenance. I addressed blm. speaking of the beauty of the scenery, the autumnal glow and the Invigorat ing atmosphere. He reonded appre ciatively. After chatting awhile on general top ics be asked me where I was going, and my purpose to give a lecture that night at B. on astronomy came out. He said that he bud always bad a de sire to know something on that sub ject and regretted that bis education bad been neglected, for If It bad not been he would certainly have devoted some time to the study of the stars. Would I tell blm something aliout them? It occurred to me that this would be t good opportunity to rehearse my lec ture. My subject was to be. "The So- lar System." and. beginning with tbe central orb, 1 gave Its dimensions and weight and then passed to tbe planet In their order of distance from It. end lng with on account of the discovery of the farthest. Neptune, by means of tbe perturbations of Uranus, then supposed to be the most distant satel lite of tbe sun. My companion seem ed greatly interested In this marvel ous power of a man to reach out int space and take cognizance of a world Invisible to the unaided eye and greed Uy absorbed all I told blm. though, be lng expected to lerture to a popular audience, I did not enter upon tbe marvelous development of knowledge of tbe constitutional Ingredients of our system with tbe Interpretation of the lines on tbe spectrum. In other words I contented myself with stating tbe simplest truths known half a century ago and within tbe grasp of ordinary Intellects. Now und ugulu lu bis comments ou the Information I gave him my com pauion ustouisbed me by an observa lion indicating u natural aptitude for a subject of which he was ignorant. He rondored bow tbe beat of tbe suu could pass through realms of space lu Cnitely cold whhout being lost. lie asked If we were sure tbnt Neptune was the most distant planet of our sys tern. These aud other poiuts he Bug tested convinced me that if he were uneducated be at least possessed an original or at least an Inquiring mind While we were conversing 1 fell giddiuess to which 1 urn subject mid which is always followed by a disiiliill ty for either hours or days. My com pauiou kiudly guided me to a farui house beside the road and ministered to my wants. 1 told him that I was very much troubled nt the prospect of not belug able to keep my engagement to lecture, and in order to help uie out of the difficulty, since lie was goiug to B be ofTcri' 1 to call on the mninger of tbe course uud explain my unfortunate position, i told him to say t h.ot pa experience had taught me that I would not be i'b!f to lecture tbe same night even If I were able t' get to B but the lecture tniirbt be put o!T till the next evening or such time 11s I hml recover ed. lie promised to bear my message. but put a damper on my anticipations by asking for a small loan. I nave blm what he asked. In the course of a few hours I fell so much better that I made a bargain with the farmer with whom I was lodged to hitch up a team and drive me into B. I would reach the town too lute for the lecture, but that would have been postponed anyway. On driving Into B.. whli h 1 re-hed about half un hour after tbe hour set for the lecture. I was surprised to see the hull lu wbb h It was 10 be given Illuminated. I iisked the farmer to pull up. I got out and entered the hall. To say I was astonished coneys little Idea of my condition. There on the rostrum w the man who had taken my message, speaking easily and gracefully on the solar system. In short, be was delivering my lecture, but so mnch more easily and graceful ly than 1 could have done It. so en riched wltb entertaining facts and with so much poetic Inspiration, that 1 lank Into a back seat and listened lielIbound. No one present hud ever seen me. The man had palmed himself off for me and was speaking for me far better Ihou I could have spoken or myself. When be came out 1 Joined him. He fett very uneasy and drew me aside quickly as possible to tell me that he bad not been paid for the lecture and had no Idea of perpetrating a swindle. Tie turned ont to be an Oxford grad uate who had come to America and got run down. 1 took him with me to my college and succeeded In getting him a chair which for awhile be filled ably. But there was a screw loose In him. One day he disappeared, and 1 never heard from blm again. RE CALLAHAN TELLS OF A MARKABLE PLAY. There have been a lot of stories written aliout tbe freak plays of Ty Cobb and other stars, but J ' nothing they ever did In that line compares wltb tbe feut of i Frank McMrbols, according to Jimmy Callahan. Callahan told J of It recently. Cal was one day playing short for the Logan Squaresw with Sin- J Nichols 00 first. Owens was umpiring In the center of the Z diamond and bod unwittingly dropped a ball. Chick Frascr, J who was pitching, sent a fust Z one to tbe batter. He bit it. Z The ball Jumped by Fraser on Z tbe ground and hit the lost ball behind the box. The bit ball Jumped to Callahan at short. and the other ball went to third, . where tbe player there corralled IL Both fielders tossed fiercely Z to first base, where Frank Mc- J Nichols was stationed. Calla- Z ban's throw was wide and to s tbe right of the first baseman. Tbe third baseman's throw was a low and to the left of the play- J lng line. McNIcbols got them s both.
