There Percival Tubbs patiently explained, for the hundredth time, with just what words she must greet her guests, as Harkness announced them; and Robin listened dutifully, with her thoughts on the hillside beyond the long windows where already red sleds were flying up and down the snowy slope and childish voices were lifting in glee. True to Mrs. Budge's predictions, Mrs.
"Good-day, ma'am," he said; "I'm obliged for your hospitality. Ladies, I beg leave now to retire." He made his bow elaborately, first to Mrs. Rexford, then in the direction of the girls. "My card, ma'am," he said, presenting Mrs. Rexford with the thing he mentioned. Then he went out. On the card was printed, "Cyril P. Harkness, M.D.S." It was growing so dark that Mrs.
Three is more than I expected; but it's not impossible." "There was plenty of time. They blew after we got back from Southport." Jack dropped his hand on Doc's shoulder, and his face softened. "Harkness tested every man you injected. He finished half an hour ago. Five showed dead bugs. The rest of them weren't helped at all." Doc fumbled for a weed, trying to think.

I turned the papers and work over to Professor Harkness, by whom the subject was continued until he was made astronomical director of the Naval Observatory in 1894. I do not know that the commission was ever formally dissolved.
Glasenapp, a Russian astronomer, raised the estimate in 1874 to 501, Professor Harkness adopts a safe medium value of 498 seconds.
