It's our job to know them things" he
answered. I'm taking charge of it
to bring it in for the inquest"
But you are not from Clayton" said
Wilton, who, of course, knew all the
members of the small force of police
that was stationed there.
"We're from the Pas" answered the
sergeant shortly. ~
From the Pas! That explained how
the sled had come along the road be-
hind him. Bowyer must have discov-
cred the fact of Joe's death in some
manner, and had probably spread the
news. Wilton surmised that Jules
| Halfhead had somehow managed to
indicate the fact to him.
The constable solved his problem.
1--WE was on patrol" he vouchsafed.
"And we met parties who told us
| about Joe Bostock having met with an
| accident, and that you was bringing
him in"
"Thatll be ALL" snapped the ser
geant, looking angrily at Myers, who
subsidized promptly. 81 guess this
young woman is Molly McDonald?" he
| continued.
"This lady is Miss Mcdonald" said
Wilton angrily, "and you'll keep a civil
tongue in your head, sergeant"
Peters looked him up and down inso-
lently, and for a moment or two the
men faced each other in an aggressive
attitude. Then the sergeant, sneering,
swung on his heel. Wilton did not
know what to make of his attitude, for
the police were always friendly.
Andersen's room was placed at Mol
| ly's disposal, and after Wilton had
| the shack.
The dogs were yelping and snarling
| over their fish from the cache. Pa
pillon had just finished feeding them,
| and Wilton thought Peters had been
| speaking to him. Probably the SER
geant was trying to obtain informa-
ton.
| The Swede came up to Wilton hold
ing q pan of sizzling brown potatoes.
~ can't believe it, Mr.. Carruthers,"
he said. "Only last week he passed
through here with you. Gosh, he was
a fine man, Joe was! How did it hap
pen? And you're hurt yourself, sir"
he continued, glancing at Wilton's arm.
"Joe was shot at my side in the
woods. The same bullet hit me. l
don't know who fired the shot. But
I'm going to know" said Wilton
| grimly.
my God, it's all up with the line
yet (" muttered the old man, with
drawing to his fire.
Wilton looked at Molly, who had
come out of the bedroom and was
standing near him. Andersen's excla-
nation had gagged the whole situation.
Wilton felt physically nauseated by
the heat in the shack, the unpleasant
ness of the situation, and recurrence
| of pain in his wound.
He went over to Andersen. "Do you
happen to know either of those fell
| ows" he asked.

They arrived at the cache q few min
uteS after the half-breedS, to find the
two policemen waiting for them, while
the two men were embarrassing the
dogs. Andersen, the old Swedish care
taker, was standing beside JOe's coffin
with a stunned look on his face. The
policemen were not of preposseSsing
appearance. The elder man, the SER
geant, was about forty years of age.
He had fair hair, dropping muStache,
slight cast in one eye, and an eX-
preston Of sullen insolence. His COM
panion, a short, stocky young fellow,
looked hardly less surly and evidently
i'll at ease.
"Evening, Mr.. Carruthers," said the
sergeant bruskly. I'm sergeant Pc
tiers, and this is Constable Myers.
That's Joe Bostock's body you're bring

Wilton was staggered. Eyes, it's

get the news?"
The policemen exchanged glances.
Peters smiled scornfully under his
long mustache. ITS known, all right.

TITS TO RADIOISTS

At Muncie, Ind, bacon was
fried by means OF a radio cur
rent. At last an explanation for
that frying" noise.
Clifford PinChot, nominated for
governor of Pennsylvania by the
vote of the people, acknowl-
edges his great Indebtedness to
the radio. A primary coil no
doubt played an important part.
An inventor of Chicago claims
to have invented radio apparatus
that permits of successful com
munication with the spirits.
We hope that the anti-prOhibi-
tionists will not misinterpret
this claim.
The police department of
Portland, Ore, has asked for an
appropriation for radio recelv-
ing and broadcastlng stations
and to equip the police automo-
biles with radio apparatus. Cop
per wire, it Is needless to say,
will be used.
Lord NOrthcliffe, famous Eng
fish editor, in speaking of the
future Of journalism, recently
predicted that radio would have
an effect upon the publication
of newspapers that will equal
the invention of the linotype
and high-speed press. He said
that radio would undoubtedly
come into general use of news
papers and newsgatherlng agen-
cies.

straight line. then CD will equal T.
e, or so long as the working range
falls within straight line portion of
TIE characteristic curve, symmetrical
changes in grid potential will cause
symmetrical changes in plate current.
From this il can be seen that If the
working point "a" be selected near
the bend Of the characteristic curve.
symmetrical changes in grid potential
will not cause symmetrical changes in
plate current. Since the plate current
variation in such case would bear only
slight relation to the grid variation in
potential, the output of the tube would
be distorted.
In applying ampliflers to receiving
sets used to pick radiOphOne stations,
distortion is one of the greatest diff
tiCulties to overcome. Too strong
signals will result in decreased am
plificatiOn. In Figure %, If the APP
piled variation in grid potential were
10 times that shown in the example.
the plate current would not change
10 times as much, because of the
| bends in the curve, due to saturation.
Finally, a condition can be reached
where the use of an amplifer tube
will decrease the signal strength be-
cause of the saturation of the tube.
The rectif1ed incoming signals would
be louder without the use of the ampli-
fer tube, because of the inability of
the plate current of the tube caused
by saturation to increase in proper
ton to the signal strength.
There are, in general, two factors
that can be taken from the charac-
teristic curve and the second is the
length of the straight portion of the
curve. The slope of the straight por~
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1922-08-10

ton of the curve determines the am
plitcation Of the tube. The more
nearly vertical the straight portion
of the curve is, the greater will be
the change in plate current for a
given change in grid potential, or in
other words, the louder will be the
response in the telephone receivers
corresponding to given received
signal. The length of the straight
portion of the curve determines the
maximum variation in grid potential
that will cause the tube to function
properly without distortion.

SYNOPSIS. - Looking over Big
Muskeg, seemingly impossible
swamp in the path of the Missa-
tibi railroad, Joe Bostock, builder
of the line, and Wilton Carruthers,
chief of engineers, are considering
the difficulties. A rifle shot instant
ly kills Bostock and breaks Car
ruthers' arm. Carruthers tries to
carry the body to a post of the
HudsOn's Bay company, where Nc
Donald is the factor. McDonald's
daughter, Molly, sees Carruthers
struggling in the muskeg and drags
him from the swamp, with his bur-
den. Unaccountably, her father
objects to her saving Carruthers.
Weakened by his wound and eXer-
tons, Carruthers is disturbed by
the appearance of Tom Bowyer,
Bostock's business rival and per-
sonal enemy. Bower insults Mol
ly, and Carruthers strikes him.
Carruthers declares his love for
Molly. She promises to be his wife.
Csrruthers has to reach the town
Of Clayton to attend a meeting at
which Bostock's enemies plan to
wrest control of the Missatibi from
him. Molly determines to go with
him.

Where Ghosts Are Institutions.

Where Ghosts Are Institutions.
There Is a conflict of opinion as to
whether Virginia or Maryland pro-
duces the best and most reliable
ghosts. Virginia claims pre-eminence
In the output of Presidents, and Mary
land claims she produces the best
clans and oysters. These states do
not dispute each others claims in the
matter Of Presidents and CLAIMS, but
they are sensitive on the subject Of
the superiority Of their ghosts. In
both states the ghost is an old and
honored institution. No house can be
old and respectable without a ghost,
or family of ghosts to haunt 1t, and
haunted graveyards are numerous in
both states. Notwithstanding the
large colored population of the ghost
infested parts Of the states, the
ghosts are all white. They also vote
at some elections, and all the ghosts
that have come to the polls are Dem
ocrats. OF course, this is evidence
that ghosts have better understand
ing Of what Is right than many men
who have not vet had the advantage
Of becoming ghosts.

LIVELY FOURTH PLANNED.
Sports and Contests Sure to Please
Boxing Exhibition.

1 Boxing Exhibition.
One of the largest and liveliest
celebrations in this section of the
State will be held in Ellsworth on
July Fourth. Weather permitting,
this celebration will eclipse all others
of previous years, and will bring a
crowd to the city.
The Boosters club members have
been unusually busy in arranging the
program, which presents a splendid
variety Of novelty races and contests.
The committee has been especially
fortunate in securing two good bands
for the celebration. The Bar Harbor
band and the Southwest Harbor
band will furnish concerts through
out the day Other attractions are
being booked, and it is hoped that
hydro-aeroplane exhibition may be
arranged for the afternoon. Details
are being arranged this week.
| The days program starts at in
the morning, with the ringing of
bells. The callithumpian parade will
| form at and march through the
/ principal streets. Two prizes, $40
and SIS, will be given for the most
horrible costume and makeup.
| During the forenoon, there will be
races for the young folks under fif-
teen years; such races as, 50-yard
dash, spoon and egg race, pie race,
/ 3-legged race and other novelty
races. A contest of especial interest
with SIS pinned to the top, which
goes to the high climber.
At 10 o'clock there will be the
| I 40,
recently given to the high school
building fund by P. S. Thorsen of
the Thorsen Farms. Tickets for this
drawing may be obtained from E. F.
Robinson, j. S. Donovan, M. L.
| Adams, George S. Foster or Mr..
Thorsen.
After the drawing, there will be
races for the older boys and men.
There will be sack race, potato
race, in which team consisting of
man and woman, will compete
against other teams, hundred-yard
dash, etc. The obstacle race is open
to those who have participated in the
callithumpian parade and who ap-
pear in their costumes.
Arrangements have been made
with some of the churches and local
organizations to serve dinner at
noon No matter how large the
crowd, all will find a splendid dinner
at reasonable price.
The days feature will be box
ing exhibition at Hancock hall at 1
O'Clock. There will be three bouts
the preliminary, the semi-finals and
the main bout. This will be high
class exhibition, and we'll worth a
visit to the city.
A speedy baseball game is
promised at Wyman park for $50,
when the fast Boston University
summer school team will meet a
team from the Bangor post of the
Veterans of the Foreign Wars.
Water sports, canoe-tilting, tub
races and swimming will be held
near the Union river bridge at 5
O clock, and will conclude the days
sport program. At Z in the eve
ming there will be grand band con-
cert in postoffice square, after which
the Fourth of July ball and carnival
will be held in Hancock hall. Music
will be furnished by the Pine Tree
Seven of Ellsworth.
Carnival caps, confetti and riot
of fun will put the finishing touch
on a celebration long to be remem-
bered. Visitors from out of town are
cordially invited to join in one of the
best celebrations to be held I'M east

Victor Huuo's Historic Funeral.

Victor Huuo's Historic Funeral.
The largest funeral ever held in
France, and probably the largest In
the history Of the world, was that Of
Victor Hugo, the great poet, author
and dramatist, who died in May, 1886,
and was buried in the Pantheon the
first Of the following June. At the
head Of the funeral procession were
three enormous wagons filled with
floral tributes, among them a huge
diadem Of Irish lilies with the inscrip-
ton ITO the Worlds Greatest Poet"
sent by Lord Tennyson, poet-laureate
Of England. kilograms were re-
ceived from virtually all the promi.
nent men alive, and the number Of
spectators was estimated at 1000, 900,
Of all classes and kinds, all striving
to do homage to the memory Of the
dead writer.
