may meet again"
In the course of the week they spent
together Marconi learned that Miss
Holman was a college girl and quite
capable of understanding something
about the properties OF ether and wave
motions through ether. He talked To
her a bit about Geographic commuhi-
cation through space without connect
ing wires, about how ether might con
duct and carry messages as lana wire
does. about his Instruments, his pur-
pose his ambition.
1t was all very interesting. The
young girl looked at him with faith
in her eyes and confidence in her voice.
ooh. you will succeed" she cried
from time to time; you must.
He found her an Intelligent, charm
ing pupil. Her reassurances were mu-
sic to his ears, for he had found hlm-
self a thousand times among doubters.
Becoming more and more interested
in his new pupil, Marconi suddenly
dropped all talk of his inventions and
insisted upon delving into her likes
and dislil1es, her ambitions and her
life. She was going over to Visit IN a
number of English houses. He de-
scribed to her what she would find.
She told him her hopes, her fears, her
plans They had passed from acquain-
tances to friends.
Just before we got to the Needles.
said Miss Holman, "a point on the
south of England. Mr.. Marconi set up
his apparatus in the second cabin and
began sending and receiving messages
sixty-siX miles away, while the snip
was going at full speed. 1t was while
the excitement about the Boer war was
at it's height. and the news he got
was printed in q little paper that he is
sued on shipboard.
OF this little paper Marconi made
Miss Holman his associate editor. 1t
gave them an excuse for consultations
and talks that might otherwise have
required explanation. Numberless
times the proofs had to be gone over.
Every little phrase required consulta-
| ton The change of a word became
vested with great Importance.
Miss Holman enjoyed her literary Ia
bors as she had never done before. Per
haps she did not quite guess why till
Marconi explained to her the state of
his heart Where this happened and
when neither of them will tell.
This is really and truly my secret,
said Miss Holman. ''No one can wrest
it from me. It's one of the things a
woman doesn't want to tell anybody.
1t happened that's all. We didn't in
tend to tell anybody till we were ready
to get married. quite ready, but some
how it leaked out, and now there is
nothing to do but confess
Miss Holman needn't trouble to con
fess. Anyone can read her happiness
who looks into her eyes; anyone would
know she had won the man she loves
Il really can't tell just now how il
all happened." she said. 1T didnt
seem to me 1t ever could be. We me
in London and talked as we used to Oh
board ship, only there were no inter
ruptions except when my mother would
remark gently something about GU
never being done.
