These ample materials were turned to account by M. Ludwig Struve for a discussion of the sun's motion, of which the upshot was to shift its point of aim to the bordering region of the constellations Hercules and Lyra. And the more easterly position of the solar apex was fully confirmed by the experiments, with variously assorted lists of stars, of Lewis Boss of Albany, and Oscar Stumpe of Bonn.
My father wished me to go on, and the little "Struve" was taken in hand; but here affairs did not proceed so rapidly. The form of the work was not so favorable for beginners, that they could help themselves on; nor was my father's method of illustration so liberal as greatly to interest me.
Three years have passed since I heard the eminent observer Otto Struve, of Pulkowa, give an elaborate account of a companion to the star Procyon, describing the apparent brightness, distance, and motions of this companion body, for the edification of the Astronomer-Royal and many other observers. But I could not then see, nor has any one yet explained, how this could be.
You're nothing but a cheap skate, a tin-horn gambler, run down at the heels. All right. I'm through with you. Lieutenant Fraser, from Texas, can come along and collect whenever he likes. I'll not protect a false alarm like you any longer." Struve looked at him, as a cornered wolf might have done. "What will you do?" "I'll give you up to him. I'll tell him to come in and get you.
"If he has told Galloway. . . ." "But I don't believe he has. Struve says that just as Norton started things he saw a man run in from the cottonwoods and duck into the house. It was Struve's job to see that nobody got out and he let him go by. If it wasn't Moraga, who was it? And, when I grabbed him just now, the first thing he said was: 'I want to talk with Galloway."
The men looked at each other, and at Struve. Were they being led into trouble to pay this man's scores off for him? Suspicion stirred uneasily in them. "That's right, too. Let Johnson pull him up," Slim Leroy said sullenly. "Sure. You've got more at stake than we have. It's up to you, Johnson," Yorky agreed. "That's right," a third chipped in. "We'll all pull together, boys," Struve insinuated.
Engle had been with him, was still there acting nurse; he was being given every attention possible. Patten himself entered, drawn by the aroma of coffee. He nodded carelessly to the girl and remarked to Struve, with a flash of triumph in his eyes, that at last he had "brought him around." Norton was very weak, sick, dizzy, perhaps not yet out of danger.
Not until the nineteenth century was well in progress did the most skilful observers of their time, Bessel and Struve, having at command the most refined instruments which science was then able to devise, discover the reality of the parallax of the stars, and show that the nearest of these bodies which they could find was more than 400,000 times as far as the 93,000,000 of miles which separate the earth from the sun.
I don't know why I'm saying this, but it was on my mind and I was half distracted when you came. She's in danger to-night, though at this minute. I don't dare to think of what may have happened, for she's risked everything to make reparation to Roy and his friends." "What?" "She's gone to the Sign of the Sled alone with Struve." "Struve!" shouted the gambler, leaping to his feet.
You might do either if you KNEW them to be crooks, but you couldn't if you only suspected it that's the woman. When you get ready, come back; I'll show you proof, because I don't claim to be anything but what I am Wilton Struve, bargainer of some mean ability. When they come to inscribe my headstone I hope they can carve thereon with truth, 'He got value received."
