of them were shareholders in the old
De Forest system. which several years
ago was bought up by the United Wire

of their stock, share for share, upon
the basis of $40 a share. the par value
of the De Forest. There are said 10
be a few local holders OF the old De
Forest stock who did not secure a
transfer.
Mr.. Brewster states that after the
purchase Of the De Forest rights and
assets, in February, 1907. the United
wireless Telegraph company gave the
holders Of the De Forest stock fifteen
months in which TO have their stocks
transferred. At the expiration Of that
period the books were closed. but hold
ers Of De Forest stock could secure
United Wireless by turning in De For
est stock at par value and paying the
difference.
Mr.. Brewster says that il was this
point which caused the trouble. as a
number OF those who held De Forest
stock in different parts of the cOun-
try followed the advice Of attorneys
and declined 10 transfer their stock.

The need Of the $50. 1000. 900 became

thing for the young fellow who
had saved her. And she would
not - stay - with - them-any

These words she emphasized
by rythmically clenching and open.
ing her hands. She was quite
fiercely resolved. She would leave
them and teach school or paint
miniatures for something.
oh! If she only had just one
relative in the world save Aunt
Marie!
Stay! The thought struck her
of her mothers fathers people,
somewhere in the south. Her
mother had been disowned by her
family for perversely contracted
marriage; but they were southern
ers, and they would not see an or
plant girl of their kin go home
less. Her grandfather was long
since dead; and just who might
represent the family now she had
no idea, but she would neverthe-
less find out where they lived, and
go to them. She would ask to be
cared for until she could find en-
'ployment. She would not humili-
ate herself by staying with the
Shaynes and the Silberbergs long
er. She would leave Aunt Marie
a note of thanks for all her many
kindnesses, take her really, truly
own belongings, and fly south. So
there!
So resolving, she became quite
calm, and walked into the main
saloon in very matter-of-fact
way. Aunt Marie gave a shrill
scream and tainted. Silberberg
said that he would be-torment-
