CHAPTER XIV.
TWO QUIET YEARS.


The three days following my entrance
into Mrs. Lawton's home were quiet,
restful ones, and but for the great dis
appointment that hung over my life
like pail would have been happy.
Mrs Lawton was kind and gentle in
the extreme, and from morning till
night she busted herself to add to my
comfort. Twenty times q day she
sought me out, in order to assure her.

whatever the house afforded that was

part of the three days I spent there

to enjoy that library for one long, I'M

greater pleasure. The thought that the
three days would so soon pass, and that

the books, and take up a life Of work
again, made me sad, and l almost count
ed the precious moments as they
slipped by.
often wondered what employment
Mrs. Lawton could have for me, and in
my anxiety to be informed on that
point was several times very nearly
tempted to ask. But I restrained my
curiosity, resolving to await her own
time and pleasure.
The fourth day after my arrival, as we
arose from the breakfast table, Mrs.
Lawton said to me: ...
'Come to my room, now, Agnes, and
we with come to final understanding,
and decide what our relations are to be
for the future"

my future was to be explained, yet feel

WHEN THE PATENTS EXPIRE.
An Expert Describes What viii be
the Effect upon the Public.

1t is quite generally understood that
the Bell telephone patents will soon ex-
pire. An expert electrician and telephone
man thus summarizes what tho effect
upon the public may be expected to he II
the patents that expire are not replaced
by others that have been long time held
In what is technically called 'interfer-
ence" In the Patent O1ice
"The first patent on the Bell telephone
was issued In March, 1875, and conse-
quently expires in March. 1898. This
patent was on the telephone principle,
but IL was inoperative; that Is. not prac-
tical. SO In January, 1877. another patent
was obtained by the Bell company, which
will expire in January, 1894. This second
was called the magnetic telephone The
essential difference between the two was
that the ma gneto used permanent mag
net, where in the first an electro-magnet
had been used.
1.-THE first patent, that of 1875, has been
the cause OF all the telephone controversy.
When that expires. the field will be open
TO anyone to make telephone with an
electric magnet, but no one can use per-
manent magnet until the second patent
expires. There is no patent on the long
distance telephone. which has come to be
used 90 much of late. Although anyone
may make telephones in 1894. the Bell
company will still hold other patents.
notably that on the carbon transmitter,
which will enable it to hold most Of the
business
Patents on inventions which have
only commenced to pay well at the expira-
tion OF the patent have sometimes been
re-issued, but the Bell telephone has paid
80 well since 1877 that there is no proba-
bility that it's patent will be renewed.
II think that quite n number OF people
will make telephones in 1894. but It will
not cheaper service much, especially
In cities, where all the telephones are con-
nected with the central Office, and every
additional subscriber makes SO much ad-
ditional expense.
doubtless, after the expiration of tho
magnetic patent, telephone can be
bought for two or three dollars, so many
will be on the market. This includes
only the receiver. not the transmitter, as
the receiver can be used equally well for
receiving and transmitting

CARL sCHURZ WRITES
He Will Not Take . Speaking Part In th&
Coming Campaign.


BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. 19.-In response
TO an invitation to address the Cleveland
and Stevenson clubs Of this city on the
present national political situation, Hon.
Carl Schurz has written q letter In which,
after stating that he cannot, owing to
i'll health make public speech, he sets
forth his political views at length. Mr..
Schura says he does not underestimate
the importance of the tariff issue, but he
regards 1t as only part OF a more COM
prehensive question which concerns the
general working, in fact the moral vitali-
ty, of our Democratic system OF govern
ment. He refers TO the evil influence in
politics. OF the improper use OF money
and of machine" domination and says
he finds that in the Republican party
these two evils have come to their most
dangerous development. Mr.. Schurz
says that Mr. Cleveland was nominated
by the people over the heads OF the poll
ticians and for identically these moral
qualities which many OF the practical
politicians regard as inconvenient.
