PLY OF wide, full orchards and acres
Of garden; the scent Of fresh-cut hay
came to her on the breeze. She was
very happy.
II her eyes could have penetrated in
to the cool, Swallowed gloom of the
parlor and seen the two young people
sitting very close together upon the
sofa there-if her ears could have
heard their eager. low-voiced conver-
sation, she would have been surprised
indeed. For they, too, we're building
castles in the air. and their tomor-
rows held rosy dreams for ,nem.

Overhead the stars cleaned bright

In the deep, rosescented gloomiof the

beyond the gate came the crunch Of
wheels upon gravel and creaking OF
harness. The figure In the shadow OF
the porch moved down the path to the
gate.

More creaking Of harness; low,
gruff word of command. Two dark
shadows came suddenly into one.

Yes, Toby, but oh, I'm so scairt y
whispered grandma. The curryall, with
the dark road.
Grandma did not look back at the
dim, dark house. SO she did not see
the spectral, Whitehead form that de-
tached itself from the darkness OF the
front veranda and sped swiftly over
the lawn toward the wide front gate.
All through the swift, cool ride to
the home of the minister grandma
clung to Toby's arm. Once she
thought she heard behind them the
sharp stuccato whirr of an automobile.
Was it coming nearer? She turned
her head.
"Oh, it's only one of them Internal
autos" said Tcby. But we won't
turn out for 'em, tonight. Wen make
'em wait. We own the earth tonight,
DEAR"
1t was quickly over. AS in happy
dream grandma found the minister
shaking her warmly by the hand, as
he held the door open for the bride
and groom to depart. At this instant
Il white gleam of light fell upon the
steps and a long black car slid to a
stop almost upon the waiting carry
all. A young man leaped out and
helped girl from the car. They came
up the steps. Grandma gasped and
drew back into the shadow, pulling
Toby with her.
"Sh! It's 'Lizbeth and Mr.. Beebe"
Heavens sakes! They're going to
be" Grandma's hand went over his
mouth. But too late. In his excite
ment he had spoken aloud. The young
man turned.
"Oh, beg your pardon. l didn't
know-that is-we-"
The white light from the auto lamps
cast its glare full upon Toby anc
grandma. She tried to get behind him
Suddenly the girl sprang forward witt

New York. High.power wireless
stations Of the Radio Corporation Of
America will be completed this year
At Bogota Bay, Colombia, and in Cuba,
and the great Buenos Aires station
Will be In operation in mid.1023, says
.. J. Naiiy. president Of the company.
Mho returned \ few days ago from
conferences In Europe at which a
working agreement was reached among
the great wireless companies Of Eng
land, France, Germany and America.
From any part Of the United States
Wjysless messages may be relayed
speedily to Buen0s Aires. South Africa,
Jaws. Calcutta or Melbourne. when the
radio building programs Of the great
American and European countries are
ccnpleted. At present France has the
most powerful station In the world In
the American-built Lafayette towers
near Bordeaux. but this will be super
seeded by the end Of this year by the
Port jefferson station Of the Radio
corporation, which will be the NEST
powerful station in the world. The
station under construction ut Ste.
Assise, near Paris. will be second.
The British wireless chain connect
ing England with the empire will haye
one station comparatively close to
Argentina, and that Will be the sta
ton Mt Bathurst, In Gumbia, on the
extreme western point Of Africa.
where the continents Of Africn and
South America make their closest ap-
proach.

tically completed" said Mr.. Nally.
'and are whiting on the completion Of
NIL the towers Mt Port Jefferson before
going into service. Tint will take place
In December. Relaylng from New York
to Cubn, to BogOta and then to Buenos
Aires will be possible, but will be used
only as an auxiliary system. When the
Buenos Aires plant is completed next
summer 1t will send to and receive
from the Port Jefferson station direct"
All Of the great systems will use DIFF
ferent wave lengths and avoid inter-
ference. according to the agreement
reached at the conference abroad, for
the use of similar wave lengths would
reduce to confusion high-pOwer wire
