dark place filed with monsters just like
the one she had first seen, all of whom
began 10 dig her and poke her as much
as they could.
1T must be the monsters cave"
thought poor Polly. Il wonder if there
is any way out of here"
| As if in answer to her question gate
! in the dark cave suddenly opened and
she saw that one of the monsters. dressed
up in a uniform like a railroad official,
was standing in front of the gate looking
very important.
Tickets please" he demanded.
Polly rubbed her eyes sleopily. ''Oh. -
she gasped. Il haven't any ticket.
never thought of it,
She found herself looking up into the
eyes, not of the monster. but of a very
kind looking railroad conductor. who
looked back at her and said. We'll. little
girl. where. are You going? You know
you must have a ticket to go to places on
the railroad"
Polly looked around in astonishment.
why the monsters have gone! she
gasped.
The conductor stared at her, and Polly
suddenly realized that she was not in
the cave at all She was sitting in the
same seat in the car that she had sat IN
at first. but she was in almost as bad
predicament as before. for here she was
riding on the railroad car without a
ticket.
Then a man who was sitting across
the aisle turned and spoke TO the con-
ductor and gave him some money. so
that the conductor went away, and Polly
discovered TO her amazement that the
strange man waS-who do you suppose? :?
Why. the very dentist she had run away
from.
This is Mrs. Darling's little girl" he
explained to the conductor. 1 know her
pa rents well and will take charge of her.
So the dentist. whose name was Mr..
Jones. transferred himself to the seat
beside Polly and heard all about the
monster who had sat beside her in the
car and his cave and the muffler that he
had put on Polly.
So as soon as they got to the city, where
the train was going, Mr.. Jones telephoned
to Pollys parents and he sent her back
on the next train in care of the conductor.
Polly's parents didn't punish her for
her trip away from home, but the next day
when she was on her way with her father
to pay her deferred visit to Mr.. Jones, herI
father said -
You see, Polly. we can't get away from
the dentists of this world. The best thing
is to face them at once and have it over
with. If we don't the monsters are sure

creature, something like fierce grizzly
bear. settled down in the seat, neverthe
less. and paid not the slightest attention
to Polly's remarks. He was certainly a
very rude animal. for he crowded Polly
with all his might and kept digging into
her with his long claws in such an un.
| comfortable manner that she screamed
aloud several times with pain. At least
she made an effort to scream aloud. but
the worst part of it was that, try as she
would, she couldn't seem to make any one
hear. She knew there were lots of other
people in the car and that they would
protect her from the cruel animal if they
could. but although she tried and tried
and grew perfectly black in the face from
hcr efforts she could not make any of
these people aware of the very unpleasant
actions of the big monster beside her.
Follys situation was becoming really
very dangerous. The big monster didn't
seem to be content merely to squeeze and
dig his companion. for presently he be-
gan to scrunch her. Scrunch may not
be dictionary word, but it exactly de-
scrlbes what was happening to Polly.

"As a rule the transmitter is in some
way connected with the primary current
to indirectly influence the arc or by an
inductive means to influence the secondary
current going into the aerial and the
ground. The difference between the Or
Idinary arc and the arc used in wireless
telegraphy lies chiefly in the fact that a
condenser is shunted around the arc, and
this, becoming charged and discharged
across the arc, gives it a high frequency.
The leads supplying the current to the arc
should have choke coils, one for each lead.
