facts as shown In the cut, with one
of the primary wires In the switch

set up, the aeLial is connected TO one
OF the primary posts the ground to

connected with the grid circuit and
the ticker posts TO the plate and re-
ceiver circuits, all Of which Is shown
in the diagram Fig. 40.
A variometer may be made In a
very similar manner, using two card
board tubes. one about four inches in
diameter and three inches long; the
other three inches long and about
three and three-quarters inches in
diameter. The dimensions should be
such that the small tube can turn free
". without touching, within the larger
tube and the smaller the space be-
tween the two the better; but you
must remember to allow for the thick
ness Of the wire TO be wound upon
the inner tube. First, measure care
fully the exact centers. so that when
a shaft fastened 10 the inner tube or
rotor is passed through the larger
tube, the inner one VIII rotate freely
and evenly without touching or in
creasing the space. The entire effici-
ency Of the variometer depends very
largely upon the accuracy with which
this Is done. Starting with small
hole about e Inch from the outer edge
OF the smaller tube, wind on about

careful TO keep the turns separated.
Then skip space Of about an inch,
as shown In Fig. Al. and wind on an
other twenty turns, finally running
the wire through hole. fastening
both ends with drop Of glue or seal
ing wax and, leaving five or six inches
OF free wire at each end. Starting the
same way, wind the larger tube in ex-
actly the same manner and being sure
to wind I'm the same direction. When
all are wound. mount the smaller tube
on a shaft inside Of the larger tube,
fastening shaft by glue or sealing
wax dropped on from inside, and
mount as shown In Fig. AZ. Finally,
connect one end Of the stator wire TO
one end of the rotor wire, leaving
plenty of free wire TO allow rotor TO
reyolve, and lead the other two ends
to binding posts, as shown, being sure
to keep that to the rotor loose TO allow
free movement. The shaft To rotor

Polly Hopkins stood. A bill poster
had passed and left on the fence pic
ture that caught her attention.
1t was beautiful woman, her eyes
saddened with tears, and she looked
straight out of exquisite colorlng at
the wide-eyed squatter girl. In her
arms was withered, sick, little man.
and Polyop knew that somewhere over
the ocean an enemy, perhaps man
like Old Mare, had hurt him. The
woman held him close as she looked
at Polly, and for a moment the girls
eyes stung with tears. Then she went
closer to the fence and spelled out the
words under the picture: 'The Great
est Mother in the World"
All! SO she was, this protector of
the hurt and the sick. The Red Cross
poster carried its wondrous message
TO the very bottom of the squatter
girls heart.
A sound, close Mt hand, caused her
to turn swiftly. A man on horseback
had drawn up on the side of the road.
The blood came in swift leaps to
Polly's face. There was the "beauti-
ful angel" looking down ,lpon her
What could she DO but stare back at

an old woman, Granny Hope. On
an adjacent farm. Oscar Bennett,
prosperous farmer. is a neighbor.
He Is secretly married to Evelyn
Robertson, supposedly wealthy girl
OF the neighborhood. Marcus Mac
kenzie, who owns the ground the
squatters occupy, Is their deter
mined enemy. Polly overhears a
conversation between Mackenzie
and stranger, in which the former
avows his intention of driving the
squatters from his land. The stran-
ger sympathizes with the squatters,
and earns Polly's gratitude. Evelyn
Robertson discovers from her moth
er that they are not rich, but prac-
tically living on the bounty OF
Robert Percival, Evelyn's cousin
Polly learns from Evelyn that the
sympathetic stranger Is Robert
Percival. Evelyn charges Polly
with message to Bennett, telling
him she can give him no more
money. She already bitterly regrets
her marriage to the ignorant farm
er. Polly conveys her message and
Oscar makes threats. He insists

has her father and Larry Bishop,

tell them that they had right to
their homes, to food, and warmth. How
her girls heart ached for their dumb
misery! Surely the squatters had suf-
fered In the past year! Many boy
had been taken from his home and
sent to France, and many a mother
had crept about the settlement with
grief-worn face, waiting for news from
over the sea.
POllyOp understood what war meant.
The squatters were always at war !.
Granny Hope had explained to her
that, whenever people fought and were
cruel to one another, that was war.
Hadn't she warred but two nights ago
with Oscar Bennett?
She had not seen him since, and the
pain and humiliation he had dealt her
had been lightened by Granny Hopes
assurances that love was the leveler
Of hate. So Polly, having quantities
of love and sympathy to spare, sent it
broadcast over the hopeless ones in
the settlement and promptly put Os-
car Benefits cruelty out of her mind
She did not even remember sometimes
how much the milk Oscar had be-
grudgingly given her was missed in
the shack. To offset that deprivation,
she was free from him and the ugly
quarrels she had had to settle almost
daily between him and Evelyn.

was in Ithaca, PollyOp started out

Meditation.

We can walk with the Holy Spirit
by taking our Bibles, and, even If we
have only two or three minutes day,
meditating upon the Holy Scriptures.
Reading the Bible in that way, reading
little every day, is like burning coal,
because by burning coal we liberate
the fire and life of long ago. Coal is
the old vegetation pressed down in the
earth, and when 1t Is brought out and
lighted we are bringing out the heat
and light of long ago for this genera.
ton. That is exactly what we do when
we mediate upon the Bible: we lib-
crate the inspiration Of years ago.
The Bishop of London.

Thrift,

To live well differs from living ex-
travagantly: for the first comes from
moderation and cufficiency and good
order and propriety and frugality, but
the other comes from intemperance
and luxury and want of order and
want of propriety. And the end (the
consequence of the one is true
praise, but of the other blame. If,
then, you wish to live well, do not
seek to be commended for profuse ex-
pendlture.-Epictetus "a. d. 90).
