His Golf Girl
BY NJ. ]. PHILLIPS


Richard Coniston was in love with
a picture. He who had travelled
thrice around the world and seen the
famous beauties Of many lands was
irresistibly attracted by a wholesome
American girl outlined on a calendar.
The picture was evidently from q
photograph. The girl stood in the
foreground, slenderly graceful and
vigorous, a smile on her winsome
face. She was poised in the act OF
swinging a golf club on a little white
ball. In the background was a fine
old gentleman with snowy side
whiskers, two or three caddies and
some lookers-on.
Coniston, young and rich, had set
tied down on his big estate, deter
mined to wander no more; but two
months Of staring at THE Golf Girl
as he called her, had aroused h old
restlessness. He felt hat at least he
must see her.
At the bottom of the calendar was
the name of a publishing house 10
Gated in Chicago. In small letters
was also the copyright imprint OF the
calendar manufacturers. They were
in New York. Chicago was nearest
to Confston, though still a long dis
lance away, He packed his bag one
morning, after wrapping up the cal
endar very carefully and slowing II
therein, and left for Chicago.
Some days later he reached the
city. 1t was easy to find the printing
house and get an interview with the
manager. The latter recognized the
picture instantly. Yes, that was
some work which their presses hat
turned of g year before for e
Photographic supply firm.
"A Photographic supply Arm?
echoed Coniston in surprise. why
this bears the advertisement OF the
Idlewild Calendar Company"
Cant help that" returned the
manager. I'VE got it out for the
Camera Supply Company, Of Port
land, Maine. We simply print the
pictures and mount them; they pu'
the inscription on themselves. Aftel
they have used a photograph for si1
months or so to boom their plates
and cameras, they sell the right O.
production to the calendar people
See?"
Coniston saw He also felt salts
fed hat the manager knew nothing
of the identity Of "The Golf Girl.

Verdict Of the French Physician at
Brldes-ies-eaIns Made the Amer
lean S~orro~fui.

Now that we look back upon our ex-
p%erience, we realize that Brides-les-
Bains is the most serious cure of the
many that we encountered. We are
SO apt to associate the Latins with a
lightness of purpose that it took US
two days to realize that the visitors
did not arise at five in the morning
with the sole intention Of talking
some more, nor that they went to bed
at ten because the lights were turned
out. More than that, while there was
a casino and a band, there was no
gambling, and the Frenchman who
spends his holiday without the comfort
Of the little horses must have a very
bad liver indeed. And more than all
this, to prove the sincerity of the cure,
the consulting physician pronounced
the illustrator to be unfit for the drink
ing Of the waters.
My companion and | drew in our
bresths hardly at this announcement.

So he put the calendar back in his
grip and caught the first train east.
He did not tarry in New York:
Portland was his destination. The
Photographic supply company would
be more likely to have authoritative
information than the calendar COM
pany. An open switch. which caused
the train to leave the rails and bump
him out of his berth on to the floor
of the sleeper, gave Coniston some
thing to remember the journey by.
Fortunately, the train vas not going
fast, and he escaped with a few
bruises.
The president OF the Portland con-
Germ, a shrewd, middle-aged, kindly
man. scented a romance in Coniston's
request for Information. He was SYM
pathetic. though not very helpful.
Usually our advertising man gets

he said; "but this picture has a diff

former president of the company and

Too Strong to Be Cured.

My faded conscience prfcked me a

Heterogeneous look Of despair and tri-

You mean," he said to the physi-
clan, that I am not well enough to
stand the treatement?'
Mon Dieu, no. replied the honest
soul; you are too well-you do not
need the waters!"
He paused dramatically, waiting for
an ecstatic acceptance Of his verdict.

WIRELESS TELEPHONE IS OLD

by Inventor Bell Thirty-One
Years Ago.

In 1879, long before the day Of the
Hertzian a and modern wireless
te%legraphy, Alexander Graham Bell de-
vised and operated a wireless tele-
phone" Starting with Clerk Max
wells electromagnetic theory of light,
he undertook to impress phonetic dis
turbances upon the light waves and
reproduce them In a telephone re-
ceiver by means of a bit of selenfum,
which has the remarkable property OF
changing it's resistance to an electric
current when under the influence of
light. say Popular Electricity. A cell
made of two narrow strips Of annealed
selenium attached to a block OF brass
alters its resistance from 800 to $50
ohms when brought from darkness
into the sunlight.
A beam OF bright light was directed
upon the surface Of a silvered mica
diaphragm which reflected it to u
parobolic mirror at the receiving sta
ton. Here the light was again re.
fected by the inner surface Of the
mirror so that 1t ~converged through
a lens upon a small selenium cell at
the focus OF the mirror, and in series
with a battery and the telephone re-
ceiver.
AS the voice waves of the sender
lmpinged upon the silvered diaphragm
is vibrated to and fro. altering the
amount Of reflected light according as
it became convex or concave toward
the receiver. With each variation Of
the intensity Of the transmitted light
the selenuim cell or ~"detector" offered
a corresponding variation in its resist
