Telephone Costs Millions.

Telephone engineering deals. on the
one hand. with delicate apparatus and
with infnitesimal currents, but, on the
other hand. it concerns itself with plants
of enormous value and with technical
and scientific problems Of wide range and
the utmost complexity, as pointed out by
NJ. c. Rorty in a recent article in the
Electrical World. The magnitude Of the
values involved is strikingly evidenced by
the fact that the expenditures for tele-
phone construction in the United States
during the eight years when the Pan
ANA Canal was under construction were
about double the expenditures on the
canal itself

way to further his fortunes and advance
his standing: so, when she saw in the
paper that the great hospital for which
James L. Sands had left by a will a
portion Of his millions, was to be erect
ed at his birthplace, Mortentown, the
suggestion at once came to her that
no one was so fitted to take charge OF
the institution as her doctor"
Esther had met Mrs. Sands during one
Of the latter's more or less infrequent
visits to Mortentown; for the junior Of her
late husband by many years, the restless
young woman had in his lifetime hardly
given the poor old millionaire a chance
to draw a long breath, so perpetually
did she keep him on the go. Now, her
brief period OF mourning over, Mrs Sands
frankly ragged at the harsh necessity
which kept her in staid quiet Morten-
town. She was compelled to remain here
for year or more, and muddle her
brains over a dreary old hospital
She was dolefully bewailing the unwel-
come prospect one afternoon when Mrs.
Bullard was announced, and snatching
at any diversion, ordered her caller to
be Immediately shown in.
Esther made no secret OF her mission
but went directly. to the point

ate all this fuss about? II we love each
other, why shouldn't we tell each other
so and show It. too, for that matteT?''
demanded Mrs. Sands.
Bulard stared at her half-blankly.
But you forget that I am not free,
he stammered
"Pouf-' She disposed of the barrier
with a flick of her cigarette. six months
at Reno will settle that"
"Divorce!' he started at the suggestion;
evidently such a solution had never oc-
CURED to him before. Then he shook his
head. 1T will be like a blow in the face
to her" he muttered. 'I tell you she'll
never consent"
Il think she will" Mrs. Sands lip
curled a trifie cynically. For her sake
you must go to her and tell her the
truth; then for your own come back to
me-and your work
The next morning Bullard started for
Mortentown fully fortified by Mrs. Sands
counsel and direction as to what he was
to do.
He had purposely not wired the hour
Of his arrival, so It did not surprise him
that Esther was not at the station to
meet him, nor yet that she did not come
to the door when he opened the gate
and walked up the poth OF their vine
covered cottage. But when he had
searched all over the lower floor and
failed to find her, he began to grow a
trife uneasy. Hurriedly he mounted the
stairs and pushed open the door to her
room; then stepped back with a half
suppressed exclamation.
She was lying on the bed asleep in a
pose that was characteristic Of her. her
