on the Pahang -Kelantan Railway, which
was practically at a standstih during the
war. is now in full swing. according to
Singapore advices received here from
United States Consul Dickinson. When
completed the line will provide an alter
native railway connection between Sin

Bridges Of considerable length are
necessary for the crossing of seven
rivers in the course of mileage, while the
construction of six short tunnels from

WIRELESS URGED
FOR SOUTH AFRICA
Expansion of Ports and Trade
Pointed Out to Cham
bers of Commerce.

CAPE Town, Nov. 1.-The erection Off
commercial wireless stations at the
principal ports between Cape Town and
Durham was the basis of considerable
discussion at a recent meeting Of the
Associated Chambers of Commerce OF
South Africa held at Port Elizabeth. 1t
was pointed out that these stations
would be most essential not only for
the proper protection of shipping. but
also in view of the rapid expansion of
the ports.
1t was stated by one of the officials
of the organization that during the
war the Admiralty erected a powerful
station at Port Nolloth. on the Atlantic
coast and north OF Cape Town, and that
no commercial set was allowed to OPP
crate within a certain radius of this
station. This station. II was stated, Is
about to be dismantled and II was
suggested that a commercial station be
erected at Walfish Bay, South West
Africa Protectorate. to fill the gap.
Such additional station would relieve
some of the congestion on the land line.
The Acting Postmaster-General Of
the Union of South Africa in the course
of his remarks referred to the British
Empire wireless scheme. which the
Union Government is taking into con-
sideration. He stated that powerful
stations had already been erected at
Oxford and Cairo and the next would
be erected at Nairobi. Kenya Colony,
British East Africa.
The Union Government has acquired
the station at Windhuk. which was
erected by the Germans and which
originally was powerful enough to com
municate with Berlin. This station
Will be put in order in the near future
and will be one of the best equipped
stations in the world.
As far as coastal protection installa-
tons are concerned. the Acting Post
master-General stated that while the
policy Of the Union Government is to
provide for coastal protection. installa-
tons at every port are not necessary.
The Government will, however. erect
several new stations to supply coastal
protection.

rumbled near and then wavered afar
according to the bends of the river, but
in spite of this variation the sum OF
its volume swelled steadily in an
ominous approach until 1t died quite
suddenly at the boat landing.
There was distant rattle of a
dozen punting-poles dropped across
the thwarts, spoken word or two
that carried marveIously across the
still night, and then long silence sud-
denly shattered by a believing voice :
"Ship ahoy Show your port and star
board lights, d you. How in the
h d'you think I'll make the chan
nel?"
Andrea rose quickly and laid her
ear to crack in the door. Her pulse
was beating fast, but she was smiling.
She heard Trevor come out and pres
emily she heard him speak. His voice
was almost unacceptable. it was so
cold and so incisive, like sharpened
steel. In strange incongruity, the
words he let fall were like drops of
molten metal.
Hello, Manchester, you dirty, drunk
en- brute! What's your price to go
away from here tonight? can offer
you case of Bols and all the kaffir
dogs in the craal to see you off.
The words and their manner as
founded Andrea; for q moment it
seemed to her that these two men
must be- joking. Then she felt the i'm
pact Of an undercurrent of malevolence
such as she had never in her life i'm
agined, much less encountered. She
quivered to the thought that here was
Trevor absolutely without gloves at
last, every word an Intentionally naked
blow.
Trevor" said Manchester in an oily
voice that was strangely softened and
indescribably aggravating, Il like you.
l can't help likin' you; you're so d
unbiblical. Not a whisper about a
sanguinary fatted calf. You go right
to my heart with case of gin. ac-
|cept; bring it out
NO. said Trevor, "I'll send it up.
I'll have it waiting for you by the time
you get back If you don't rot and fall
apart on the way"
"There you CO." said Manchester,
pleasantly, always cheerful warm
welcome on your tongue" Then, with

and fell to wrangling OF frightened
notes as though some one had swept
the instrument from its balance. A
second later there was the thud Of a
heavy boot on wood, Trevor's door
few open and the still wailing phono-
graph was hurled as from a catapult
fifteen feet through the air. 1t fell to
the hard-beaten ground of the patio
with a terrific splintering crash. rolled
over on one side. and was still. An
drea's eyes had been watching 1t, fas-
cinated; now they swerved and stop
ped almost with click of the sudden
ly arrested muscles.
Between her and the door of Ire
vor's hut stood the towering figure of
man in quarter profile. She could
/ see his great shock of bushy red hair
bit of his shaggy beard, his enormous
~ broad shoulders and the white CLEAN
of his two hands hanging almost at his
knees. He was hatless and dressed
in faded blue dungarees many sizes
too small for his bulk.
AS she watched him he raised his
arms in wide still gesture and began
to sing. At the first note, quite I'M
conscious of action, she let the door
swing open and stepped out on the
veranda. 1t was the aria from Faust, :
the same aria. but oh! low different.
The voice of this man was like a huge
and glittering serpent of sound that
AZ nh nj
longing the dome of heaven itself.
If there was one thing that Andrea
knew better than another, It was the
accurate valuation of every operate
voice that had sung in Europe during
the lasI decade. She had been taken
to Covent Garden regularly before she
was out, as matter of education, and
no less regularly after her eighteenth
birthday, as a matter of matrimonial
business
She knew instantly that this extra
ordinary apparition in the wilderness
was nothing less than the solution of
a world mystery He could be but one
man and that a person whose tremen-
dous triumph had been SO short as to
leave him with fame but without a
name She was hearing the Great
Voice-the voice of the star that had
shone for a single night; resounded
but once through the Scala, set as
swiftly as it had risen and disappeared
forever, leaving behind no trace be-
yond memory so short that it had
become a recollection almost unbeliev-
able to the few that had heard it.
Now her ears were filed with its
music to the exclusion of thought Or
+ reason or consciousness of self. She
/ became nothing more than sentient
channel. The easy power cf the Voice
lifted it beyond the common standards
of vocal classification and gave it the
allure and the terror of the superhu-
man. It's tenuity seemed a thing in
eorporated apart, an actual substance
with reckoning arms and hands. It
drew her slowly, steadily out into the
quivering moonlight, held her, lifted
her face with it toward the sky.
