The bishop drew his splendid figure erect and walked on. "All men are becoming pessimists," he said to himself and the kitteu.

I'ei'iiaps it was this gloomy thought that made the kitten open its mouth and surpass ail its previous efforts in the way of soul stirring wails. The bishop set his Hps in a hard line. "I'm going to liud something for this kitteu to eat," he said, half aloud, and when the bishop said things iu that way it was as well for circumstances to yield. A tiny cottage stood at a street corner such a tiny cottage that it seemed to have been crowded into the corner as an afterthought when the place was already full. There was a light in the front room, and as the bishop had grown desperate he walked up the small stoop and rang the bell.

A young man opened the door. Theiv was an electric light a few feet away, and the bi-h -p saw by ii that the young man had a pale face and that bis hair was tumbled as though by restless lingers. While he was noting these things he was teliimr about ihe kitten. "I have applied to sveral people." be added, "but they seem to look upon me a ilaiuermis and suspiei-ais character. I hope you will be more generous in your judgment." The young man had started at the pound of his voice, but he opened the door wider! "Come in," he said.

"I think we will be able to find the kitten something to eat." A slender slip cf a girl arose from her seat near the fire and went Into the oilier room. She came back presently with a saucer of milk and set it and the kitten down on a rug, and then the bishop sat down. too. at their Invitation, anil they laughed with one accord at the enthusiastic manner iu which the kitteu crawled bodily into that saucer of milk and lapped and choked and lapped and strangled again as though it would never have enough. "The poor little thing was hungry, very hungry," said Its benefactor pityingly.

'While the kitten drank the bishop was looking around the poor, neat little room, with its bare tloor shining while and its pitiful little adornings. And from the room his eyes wandered to the girl, who was down on her Uncos by the tire wiping the milk from the kitten's paws and making it fit for i The Bisfion's i 6 i Kitten i 6 i 6 6 i A Christmas Story ly FRANK H.

-O--O-'-CO-O-'-O-'-C-'O--O--O It was Christmas eve. The secretary had paper ami pencil ready and a typewriter besido him. The bishop of Winchester sat in the window in a straight backed chair, for it appeared that he could not even allow himself the luxury of resting when he tuigh have rested. "A note uf 'hanks fiom the president, of the board of managers of the Home For the Homeless," said the secretary, opening another letter, with little sigh of relief, fop he was near the end of the pile. "11, says (hat your magnificent coiiti il oil i has saved lie home from serious dil.iouli ios and that this will enable them to go through the inter comfortably." "No answer i.et-i'.cil," said the bishop briofy.

"A letter fmni Mr. Ilaulon for help for a i family. He says lie lias found a family in great distress, and he looks to you for a ice and assistance." "He doesn't need advice. lie needs assistance. Tell him to draw on me and do what Lie thinks necessary." "A letter from Mr.

Quiuturd in reference to young Cooper, the theological student. lie has married and so lias forfeited his right to continue his course and enter upon his career unless you are willing to make an exception In his case." The bishop's face flushed and his lips set hi a line like iron. "Write Mr. Quiutard." be said In icy tones, "that he will please convey to the young man my compliments and tell him that since he has put his nose to the grindstone be may keep it there, lie is to tell hi tu from me that he can seek out some humble employment for himself." "Are you uns out, secretary as the bishop over -oat. "Yes," replied the gtv; ply.

"I promised to give workiii-aieu tonight at ask. put -d the his man sim- 1 1 talk to the i the Iiaytoii I mission." There was a world of personal his- tory in the simple answer. It was I cold and dismal lis lit. and the lire was burning cheerily In the grate, yet tsis man, who might have taken bis ease, was going to the farthest extremity of the city to talk to grimy orkingnion. The secretary watched him with wonder and curiosity in bis face.

The hard, stern, unbending man. the self sacrificing sympathizer with the poor what contradictions were In this man's nature! The mission stood in the midst of a thickly settled district populated chiefly by the workmen from the foundries and mills that abounded there. The mission house was small and plain and not too comfortable, as the bishop knew, for he hail spoken there before. To his surprise, the doors were closed and the place was dark. "Strange," he said to himself.

"I did not think I was too early." Nothing stirred about the house ex-: cept a little furry kitten which sat on the steps and rent the air with ago-, ni.ed howls. "Mercy, hat a voice:" exeiaimed I the bishop uneasily. "Are ymi cold, I poor little Looking up ain see that ii.) one the tiny kiiien head. It opened 1 down the street to was coming, lie took up and stroked it; iis mouth wide and wailed for something it missed and could Hot explain. It surely must be almost frozen.

No one was coining yet. The bishop unbuttoned his overcoat at the top and thrust the kitten in. "If I see any one coming I can take It out," he thought. 'Torhaps one of the workmen will take it home to the children." Lulled by the warmth, the kitten was quiet for a moment, but ail at once it realized that there was something els? needed. It crawled up, put out its head and howled louder than ever.

Can you tell me" "No; it's Christmas night," said the man, hurrying on. lie bad mistaken the night, and all this long journey: "Too bad, kitty." he said to the head which was just l-neaih his chin and which was giving utterance to the wildest and most hopeless howls.

FORMED BY LIGHT AND HEAT. Far Away the Comet Is a Globular Mass, and as It Nearg the Sun the Action of That Body Untwines the Tail, Which Is Never Recovered. Traveling as comets do in very elongated ellipses, with the sun iu one of the foci, as the attracting point is called, most of their journey is spent in slow uneventfulness far away from the hearth of the system hearth is just what the word focus means. They are then small globular aggregations, sluggish and dim a little roundish nebula in look. Such they appear when first descried in the telescope coming in from space, for they are rarely seen tit all until they have entered within the orbit of Mars.

Distance in part, but still more their own behavior till then, keeps them hid. Within this nebulosity, known as the head, appears as it Hears us a bright spot, the nucleus. Suddenly there occurs a cruuplete change iu the deportment of the body, one which renders It tin; observed of all observers, and in less civilized times occasionally its being held the harbinger of distress, disease and death. As soon as the comet gets near enough the heat of the sun sets up commotion within it. Yery's determination of the temperature of the unblanketed sunward side of the moon we are enabled to infer that this heat is great at the earth's distance from the sun iu spite of the cold of space.

This temperature is 3o3 degrees F. And as the comet approaches tlie sun this heat must Increase inversely as the square of the distance. At half the radius of the earth orbit It is already four times as great above absolute zero, at a quarter sixteen times, and so on increasingly, the temperature rising into thousands of degrees. No wouder the comet acts as it does. It at once becomes uneasy, waxes in light and, as the spectroscope reveals, disruptive electric discharges start in it which let out the imprisoned gases.

Then begins that spectacular career of perihelion passage which makes the couiet so superb an object and for which it pays so dear. The gases which are thus thrust cut from the interior of tlie separate meteorites, together with such particles of the iron as are made gaseous by the heat, fall prey to another force besides gravitation. This force is tlie impact of light itself, the light einilted by the sun. That so immaterial a thing as a beam of light can have power to move even a pith ball is a conception not easy to grasp. Yet there is no doubt of the fact, theoretically calculated years ago by Clerk Maxwell from his electro-magnetic theorv of light, for the gaseous particles proceed to be repelled by the sun at enormous speed, each behaving exactly as it should by mathematical analysis if such were the oc-sasioiiing cause.

Evidently the light waves have a propelling power in the direction of their own motion equal to their own speed. Why. then, is it that the planets betray no such effect iu spite of their size? The answer is. because of that very size. Gravity acts on the mass, a matter of three dimensions: the light force on the surface of the body, a matter of two.

As a body diminishes in size, therefore, its surface bears a greater and greater ratio to its mass until when small enough the second lorce is the stronger of the two. This relation is betrayed iu the con-duet of the tail. The Imprisoned gases, heated to expulsion on the sunward side of the comet, rise toward it. In a series of exquisite mantling envelopes, as if the comet's bead were veiling itself from tlie too ardent gaze of the sun. Then, after rising to a certain height, their initial Impetus overcome, they fall back, repelled by the light waves, although still attracted by gravity, ami are driven out to form the tail of the comet, fresh envelopes taking their place.

Sometimes only single tail is formed, but at others two or even three are shot out. and when this happens mie is nearly straight, one curved and one greatly bent. Now. calculation shows that the repelling force in the case ol the first is fourteen times that of gravity, in the second two and two-tenths times, or something less, and in the third only about one-fifth of gravity. Put these are the very ratios which particles of hydrogen gas.

of the by-drixarbons and of Iron or sodium would respectively show. As the comet approaches tlie sun the display becomes more violent and more spectacular. Finer and wilder grows the pageant, the "hairy star" loosening its tresses, which had stood sedately coiled about its head amid the depths of space, to stream In gorgeous gleams behind It as It pays Its orbital obeisance to the ruler of its course. It seemingly backs away in keeping with the etiquette to royalty, turning always its face sunward as It retreats whence it came. Put it pays dearly for its display.

The matter going to form the tail can lever be recovered, but is driven farther away. At each suceessj return to the sun some of its mass and brilliance Is thus h-st, and this Is why the periodic comets, tho-e that have made many visits, are such small and Inconspicuous objects. It is only the comets of long ellipses and very distant habit of which the perihelion pageant Is so fine. Youth's his parents.

The parents have the heartfelt sympathy ot all their lrieads. decent society. She was a lovely girl, with large, tender brown eyes, and her hair was tilled with in the firelight, a nil there was dimple in the midst of the bloom on her left cheek. When had the bishop of Winchester over noticed the bloom on a woman's cheek before or the dimple in the midst of It? "Iteallr, this is very pleasant," he said, warming under the genial influence of the neat little room and the lovely girl and the tine young man with the intellectual face. "I am glad that I found the kitten, for it has been the cause of my making some pleasant friends.

You must give me your name, for I have no disposition to lose friends so pleasantly found." Something had been weighing on the mind of the young man ever since his guest had come into the room. Now he arose and stood before the bishop, his eyes kindling. "My name is Cooper," he said, with an intrepidity which the bishop could not but recognize even in the- midst of his amazement. "I am a student of theology, i lack a year of finishing my Cour A month ago I married. and today you sent me word that since I had put my nose to the grindstone I could keep il thl-i-e.

There was silence in the room for pome moments. Then the bishop arose and began to button his overcoat. "I am glad I came In," he sa gently, looking at the" young man. "And so you pave been married a month': Have courage, my boy. We all have our grindstones, and our noses are kept pretty constantly at them in the course of the years, but no matter se they don't grind away any of our hearts.

And this is the little wife who was more and better than a career? Well, perhaps she is. She reminds me of a girl I knew long ago. You won't mind my taking the little kitteu home with me, will you 7" Anil the two young people stood amazed while he put the kin en inside his oven-oat and then shook hands with theni warmly before he departed. The next morning when the secretary entered the study he paused and leaned against the door a moment and passed his hands across his eyes. Could that lie the bishop of Winchester sitting in his accustomed place, with a while kitten climbing over him mid biting his cars and bumping its head against his chin? "Oh.

"Sit down there for a moment and take this Tor Mr. And tlie secretary steadied his reeling faculties while the bishop dictated: Ponr I hiv-? my la finl to ynung 1 have some cviil-ee-o that itoM to show ih.it Is' ill ei.v'.;.' a 111.01. an I you may front sit t'sat lie v.
