PUHING ON RUBBERS By GLUYAS WILLIAMS STRANGE AS IT SEEMS By JOHN HIX For further proof address the author, Inclosing a stamped envelope for reply. Reg. V. 8. Pat, OS. urMfl'MH: uouny jonet ana Or.

Hobby it ditappotnted in Urt. tlayman. brcauee he had tern a photograph ol a very beauti ful woman in I'rltchard't pocket, and Urt. Cayman it by v beantifut. Chapter Six CALLERS ppHE coroner Bald a few sooltilng A worda and dismissed her. Then be addressed the Jury. Tbelr task was to state bow this man came by hit death. Fortunately the matter appeared to be quite slm pie. There was no suggestion that Mr. Prltcbard had been worried or depressed or In a state of mind where he would ba likely to take Ills own life. On the contrary be had been In good healtb and spirits and bad been looking forward to bis boll day. It was unfortunately the case '.hat when a sea mist was rising, the path along the cliff was a dangerous one, and possibly they might agree with him that It was time some thing was done about It. The Jury's verdict was prompt. "We And that the deceased came to bis. death by misadventure, and wo wish to add a rider that in our opinion the Town Council should immediately take steps to ,ut fence or rail on the ser side of the ' path where It skirts the chasm." The Coroner nodded approval. The Inquest waa over. On arriving back at the Vicarage about half an hour later, Bobby found that his connection with the death of Alox Prltcbard was not quite over. He was Informed that Mr. and Mrs. Cayman had called to see him and were In the study with his father. Bobby made his way there and found bis father gravely making suitable conversation without, ap parently, much enjoying his task. "Ah!" he said with some slight relief. "Hore Is Bohby." MR. CAYMAN rose and advanced towards the young man with outstretched band. Mr. Cayman was a big florid man with a would-be bearty manner and a cold and some what shifty eye that rather belled the niannor. As for Mrs. Cayman, though she might be considered attractive In a bold, coarse fashion, she had little now In common with that early pho tograph of herself, and no trace of that wistful expression remained. In fact, Dobby reflected, if she had not recognized her own photograph It seemed doubtful if anyone else would liavo dona so. "1 came down with the wlfo," said Mr. Cayman, enclosing Bobby's hand In a llrm and painful grip. "Had to stand by, you know. Amelia's nat urally upsot." Mrs. Cayman snlffod. "We came round to see you," con tinued Mr. Cayman. "You see. my poor wife's brother died, practically speaking, In your arms. Naturally, she wanted to know all you could tell her of his last momenta." "Absolutely," said Bobby unhap pily. "Oh, absolutely." he grinned nervously and was Immediately aware of his father's sigh a sigh of Christian resignation. "Poor Alex!" said Mrs. Cayman, dabbing her eyes. "Poor, poor Alex!" "I know," snld Bobby. "Absolutely grim." Ilo wriggled unoomforlably "You boo." said Mrs. Cayman, looking hopefully at Dobby, "It he left any last words or messages naturally I want to know." , "Oh, rathor," said Bobby. "But as a matter of fact he didn't," "Nothing at all?" Mrs. Cayman looked disappointed and Incredulous. Bohhy felt ap-logetle. "No well as a matter of fact, nothing at all." "It was best so," said Mr. Cayman solemnly. "To pass away uncon scious, without pain why, you must think of It as a mercy, Amelia." "I suppose I must," said Mrs. Cayman. "You don't think he felt any pain?" "I'm sure he didn't," said tlobhy. Mrs. Ciiyiuan sighed deeply. "Well, that's aomolhlng lo ba thankful for. Perhaps I did hope he'd left a last mcssago, but I ran s, that It's best as It Is. Poor Alex. Such a line out-of-door num." "Yes. wasn't ho?" said Bobby. He recalled the bronie face, the deep blue eyes. An attractive personal ity, that of Alex I'rltchard. attrac tive ev,,n so near death. Strange that he should be the brother of Mrs. Cayman and the brother-in-law rf Mr. Cayman! He had been worthy, nobby felt, of better things.

Dubby suffered nee more that painful grip, He recolved a flabby hand from Mrs. Cayman. His father made rurther adieus. Bobby accompanied tht Caymans to the front door. "And whnl do you do with your self, young man?" Inquired Cayman "Home on leave something of thai kind?" "I spend moat of my time looking for a Job." said Hobby. He paused. "I was In the Navy."

In the study of the stars, astron- omera make much use of photographs exposed to the heavens through their powerful telescopes. By photography they can make a permanent record of the stars at any particular time and for any reason, which can be studied at leisure and compared with other records, fn actual study they need not, and often do not look through telescopes from one. month to the next. Technicians generally do the actual setting of the telescopes and tend to the exposing of photo graphic plates. OEEP M THE GlOOA OF THE FORKT.CRIP 5TAR.TED IM 6U0DEM ALARM!
