It may be that the greatest telescopes have not yet reached the bottom, or the boundaries, of the entire system; but they have almost done so. This Is shown by the thinning out of {he fainter stars. These stars as a whole are the most distant, and if they were {nlimited numerically every increase in the pentrating power of telescopes would bring Previously unseen ones into view, in proportionately undiminished numbers. As & fact, however, there is a rapid talling off in the proportionate numbers at great distances. This is shown by Kepteyn's “law of star density.” Taking the “parsec” as the unit of measurement, a parsec is equal to 19,000,000 miles, the density of the stars at increasing dis- tances comes out as follows: At 0 dis- tance, 1.00; at 50 parsecs, at 135 par- secs, 0.80; at 213 parsecs, 0.57; at 640 par- mecs, 0.90; at 80 parsecs, 0.15. This does mot mean that the absolute number of stars decreases with Increase of distance, but that the ratio of thelr number to the volume of space occupjed decrecases In the proportion shown, 30 that at a distance of 850 parsecs there are only 15 per cent as many stars as there should be if there had been no fall- | off in relative density. Various counts and estimates of the actual numbers included within various limiting distances have been made. Thus, according to Messrs.

Can any of us conceive . of an almighty father less merciful than a human parent we have known? For the little child who has strayed of the very greatest telescopes, but it shows. In accord with other estimates, that the total number of stars in the' visible universe is numerable and probably | does not exceed a thousand millions at an outside estimate. | The fact that a fairly definite shape, or | cutline, has been found for the visible universe s, in itself, a proof that it isi not unlimited in cxtent. We are virtu-| ally certatn that it expands around us in | such a manner as to assume roughly | the form of a flat irregular disk, the more | distant purts, or edges, of which lie in the plane of the Milky Way. It is thus like a floating islend of stars in ccean of space Space itself may %e infinite although what we call the universe is not.

But it is far more probable thet no nebule or other object visihle n the mightiest telescope is unconnected with the universe to which our sun and our earth belong As to the continuance of the Creator's work in forming new suns and new planets, of that there can be no question. This work is, in truth, visbly #oing on before us in the heavens. Thero is the utmost variety of ages among the stars, just as there is among the human beings In a crowd.

The woman who has not held [ner heritage of womanhood sacred has fafled in & very beautiful trust. And the price she pays is tremendous. But, after all, I think the heaviest part of her debt 1s her own knowledge of failure. To the girl who wrote me the very sad letter asking for o message of hope I offer this honest conviction. May it buoy her up! Her malvation and happi- nees are absolutely in her own hands, 1f she turns from the by-paths of life back to the honest road of clean living and pure thinking, if she secrifices ignoble friends and dishonest comforts, and works loyally and staunchly for ever so small a wage and with ever so little joy, she will win back in the end to the land of self-respect. No matter what falls you, if you have a right to feel that you are honest and decent and straight and clean, in that there 1s a measure of happiness. Fight- ing back isn't easy, but it means winning again your own self-esteem—and through that the respect of others. A victory in the face of odds is a big thing. A woman who will give up luxury and spurious love and sham friends, and actually go to serubbing floors, will win her way back to a feeling of the joy that comes to all those who dare face the world across the shield of honest labor. Loneliness may come for a time, but in the end the strength that could fight must turn into the simple honesty and uprightness that win respect. It needs a big, sturdy-souled man to take as his wife a woman who has strayed from the path of her best ideals. But if she fights back to them again, a man of kindiy soul will admire her for her victory over almost desperate odds.

When thelr #on Freddle returns home he finds right in his own house, Celestla, the girl for 1 which the underworld has offered & re- ward that he hoped to get. estia secures work in a large gar- ment factory, where a great many girls are employed. Here she shows her pe- cullar power, and makes fr.ends with all her girl companions. By her taiks to the girls she is able to calm a threatoned strike, and the “boss” overhearing her is moved to grant the rellef the girls wished, and also to right a great wrong he had done one of them. Just at this point the factory catches on fire, and the work room is soon a blazing furnace. Celestia refuses to escape with the other girls, and Tommy Barclay rushes in and car- ries her out, wrapped In a big roll of The match had gone out.

After a moment's sllence, ho said: “I'm only to close the circult only on a direct order from Mr. Kehr. 1 don't know why I'm to close it.

Yet he felt #0 sufficlently certain of their friendship and rogard that he did not hesitate to ask a favor when he needed the Influ- once of their names or their purses. But {f he had looked deeper into his own heart he would discover that his real fallure to keep in touch with his friends was through thoughtiessness, bordering on indifference. He would know that however succcssful and full of pleasures might be the lives of his friends, It they were sufficlently inter- ested in him to ofter the hand of friend- #hip when it was asked they would cer- tainly approciate an expression of regard ‘lmm him and a kindly message when nothing else was demanded.

He would long to free himself from the body and explore the spiritual realms in search of comrades on those planes. Therefore it would seem worth while to appreciate friendship and companion- ship which s offered us here and now, instead of accepting It as a matter of course or of using it only as & help in time of need.
