But his pocket apparatus, he said, he
believed was akin to the present wire
less telephone.
He said similar experiment were
conducted by Professor Gott at a
French telegraph station on the Island
of st. Pierre. This island is crossed
by cables. By placing pokers in the
ground and connecting them in the
manner Mr.. Bell suggested, Professor
Gott was able to "listen in" on the
cable messages without connection in
any way with the cable.
While he had not studied to any ex-
tent the latest developments in radio
work, Mr.. Bell said, he saw in the
wireless phone one of the great boons
of civilization in the future. He was
especially enthusiastic over the work
of amateurs and the progress they
made. He urged the Government do
nothing to interfere with experiments.

THE GAMBLERS.
Harris found some difficulty in pro-
yiding that affairs of the farm would
proceed satisfactorily during his alb
sence. but mt last they were arranged
If not exactly to his liking. at least in
manner that promised little loss. 1t
was most unfortunate that Mary, in a
moment of headstrong passion quite
without precedent in his experience OF
her, had determined upon visit just
at the time when she was particularly
needed at home. II Harris had been
quite fair he would have remembered
that there had been no time in the last
twenty-five years when she had not
Teen needed at home, and the present
occasion was perhaps no less opportune
for her visit than many others.
The hired man, in consideration of
having no field work to do, finally con-
scented to milk the cows and deliver the
milk daily to Mrs. Rifles. who would
convert it into butter-for considera-
tion Of so much per pound. To his goot.
neighbors. the Grants, Harris turned
for assurance that should he and Allan
lie delayed OH their trip. or should the
harvest Come in earlier than expected.
ample steps would be taken to garner it.
So with these arrangements COM
plete, the farmer and his son drove
into plainville one fine bright ,norning
ut the end of July. ready for their first
long trip into the New West. Indeed
it was Allan's first long journey any
where; an excursion to Winnipeg at
the time of the summer exhilitien had
ieen the limit of his experience of
trayel. and the hard work Of the farm
had not vet extinguislled the young
mans desire for novelty and excite
ment.
Harris got off at the railway station
to tuy the tickets; Allan went to the

letters awaiting delivery. and the hired
