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.
"Well, r-e'ra very much Indebtod to

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.
