CHAPTER X
The AbysmaI Depths.

Molly did not see Bowyer for two
months after Kitty's departure. His
next visit was as unexpected as all of
his. 1t was in the afternoon, and the
girl came back from walk along the
shore to see him seated in the store,
sleek, red, and self-satisfied, and her
father standing beside him, with that
look of awful fear on his face. She
had momentary impression as If the
factor stood up like q well man. but,
as she entered, the right leg went
dragging under him, and the arm fell
limp at his side.
"How dye do, Miss McDonaldw
called Bowyer. Il just dropped in to
have a chat with the factor in passing.
Big things happening here, eh? The
Missatibi's mighty slow in crossing
Big Muskeg."
Molly famed at the insult to Wilton.
She looked at her father, and the ex-
preston on his face went to her heart.
She turned swiftly to Bowyer.
II don't want you to come here
again." she said.
He started up, spluttering. eve don't
want you" she continued. "And we
won't be prosecuted by you. There's
law in this country"
He burst into hooking laughter.
"YOu never spoke truer word, Miss
McDonald" he cried. II came here
as a friend"
"You can go as an enemy" she re-
torted. "And you can go now. And
remember-there are men about here
who can use a whip"
He glared at her, but went without
word and Molly ran to the factor.
Hes torturing your she sobbed. 81
don't know what his power over you
is but he mustn't come here again |"
A few days later Bowyer went in to
Clayton and, by chance, his visit coin
cded with Wilton's.
When Wilton left her house, Kitty
sank down into chair clasping and
unclasping her fingers nervously. The
first time when Wilton had repulsed
her, she had been too Inundated and
conscience-stricken to bear him resent
ment. Her visit to Molly had been
sudden evil impulse, which, when done,
she had attempted to justify.
She had, of course, succeeded.
Gradually she had begun to look upon
herself as deeply wronged woman

where the energy fed back from the
plate circuit is just equal to the losses

An increase lin the coupling be-

between the frequency of the incom-

PERI RMANCE TEST METHODS
Rules Are Drawn Up by Bureau Of
Standards for Investigation of
New Apparatus.

Owing to the very large demand
which has arisen for simple radio re-
ceiving sets, many retail dealers in
other lines of work have taken up the
handling of such equipment. 1t is very
difficult for such dealers to decide
whether sets offered by the manufac-
turers are of good or poor quality,
says Radio Merchandising. The whole
art is so new and some of the ques-
lions involved are so technical that
the problem presents considerable diff
ficulties.
AS q consequence, the Department
of Commerce, and particularly the bu-
'reau of Standards, has received a
great many requests for tests of such
apparatus. AS it is impossible for the
bureau to conduct all the work of this
nature which it would be called upon
to perform, it has drawn up rules COW
ering performance test methods which
are to be carried out by the Electrical
Testing Laboratories of New York in
cooperation with the National Retail
Dry Goods association, the latter rep
resenting the retailers of radio receiv-
ing sets. AS the work develops. sug-
gestiOns regarding improvements Of
methods of testing will be subject to
the approval of the bureau of stand
ards.
The tests outlined include: Inves-
tigation as to the material and work
manshtp, the mechanical and electrical
design, simplicity of adjustment, rug
gedness, sensitivity, sharpness of tun-
ing, wave length range and faithful
ness of reproduction in radio telephone
reception.

inWardly. Her passion for Wilton was
taking her into unrelished companion
ships.
She asked him to sit down. I'm
pleased to see you, Mr.. Bowyer," she
said. 1T was very good of you to

Bowyer uttered a short laugh. I'm
not a calling man, Mrs. Bostock," he
said, "and the ladies don't like me-
They know too much about me-"
That's very poor taste on their
part" said Kitty.
That's as may be. I came here on

vances to Wilton she saw by instinct
that she had almost conquered She
saw, too, that, having lost, she had
lost forever. She might win Wilton
yet, but never in that way.
Now she would go to any lengths
to Gust Molly. Molly had never writ
ten to her since her departure, and she
did not even know If her scheme had
succeeded in estranging her from VII.
ton. But she inferred success from
Wilton's bearing. He had not looked
like successful lover.
Bitterly she reflected on her mar
riage with Joe. She had never loved
Joe, but neither had she hated him.
She had loved Wilton, and. bound by
tradition and social circumstances, she
had concealed it. Then-JOe had died.
Everything had seemed possible And
Wilton had engaged himself to an

When, therefore, late on the day af-
ter he had called on her, the maid an

been in her house before, she sent
down word that she would receive
him.
Neither Wilton nor Bowyer was
aware that the other was in Clayton
when Bowyer called, nor did they
meet.
Kitty came downstairs, to find
Bowyer standing in the parlor, Twill
ing his hat in his hands. There was

TIPS TO THE RADlOIST

DR.. Marconi cites as one of the
future benefits of radio the abil-
ity of man to talk with his
wife without others being able to
listen in. Some of us who live
in apartments and have to listen
to the nightly dialogues of the
Jarr family will hope that they
will arrange to use radio at no
late date.
No better example of the YER
satility Of radio can be cited
than its use for transmitting
Chinese music.
The city fathers of Newark,
N. j., are framing a law to tax
all possessors of radio aerials
81 year.
1t is reported from Washing
ton that President Harding has
a powerful radio set installed in
the White House.
The BARRIERS have evidently
talked themselves out and are
now resorting to radio no that
their customers may feel at

100000 or 1,499,500 the best note
would be 500 cycle pitch or a 1000
vibration note.
This beat method Of reception is
used to receive undamped or contin-
uous wave signals and is called the
"heterOdyne" method. When the same
tube is used to perform the functions
of detector and an oscillator, the
method is termed the "antodyne"
method.

CHAPTER lX-Continued.


Now Wilton had succeeded. Big
Muskeg was conquered, and on the east
shore the vanguard of the line was
driving the cleared way forward and
peggng out the way for the metals.
Soon grading would begin. Wilton's
camp would shrink, and the engines
would be moved ahead, and-he would
have time to think.
He dreaded that. He had not seen
Molly or the factor since that night
of the subsistence. He knew that
Bowyer had paid more than one visit
TO the store, but he shrugged his
shoulders and put it out of his mind.
The workmen, after their montks
or arduous labor, had begun to grow
slack. There was restiveneSs in the
camp. Once or twice Wilton had seen
signs Of liquor He detected it in the
slowing up of work he had smelled it
in the bunkhOuses-the penetrating
odor of cheap alcohol, with it's sugges-
ton of gasoline.
Andersen, forestalling him, came to
him about the time of this discovery.
They're getting that rOt-gut again,
Mr.. Carruthers," he said. Il don't
know where. I'm keeping my eyes
peeled, but 1 amt said nothing"
1.-THE best policy" said Wilton. 1.-THE
men have worked hard. When this jobs
finished We'll let them slack up for
day or two. Then Wen get down
to business on this proposition. But
if you find out anything let me know
at once"
A few days later came the spanning
of the swamp. On the same afternoon
a summons came from the court, to-
gether with letter from Quain. The
police had at last picked up Papillon
and PassepartOut, and had recovered
the rifle and transit compass. Wilton
was wanted in Clayton to give evil
dence against the men.
The call was opportune. Wilton had
already determined to put into execu-
ton plan that he had formed 1t
was now October, and little more than
two months remained before the loan
would be called. That would give
Bowyer the control of the Missatib.
Driven by the ironical realization that
he was working for Bowyer, Wilton
had resolved to go to Clayton as soon
as the treStling was completed. and
try to raise the money to pay Phayre,
who, he knew, would not renew the
note.
Big Muskeg was spanned. And, on
the strength of that, Wilton believed
the time had come to give JOe's secret
to the world. He would publish far
and wide the secret of the wheat
lands. He would establish sufficient
confidence in the line to make the
raising of loan a possibility.
Before leaving he placed a night
guard on duty over the office, and ar
ranged with Andersen to have three
or four reliable men on watch in the
event of the labOrers attempting to
cross the portage. He went to CLAYTON
and laid his statement before a d.
rectors' meeting. They heard him In
frigid silence.

REPORTS OF MILLERS VARY
Advance in Prices Caused Serious
Falling Off of Inquiries.

Reports of millers on the condition
of the flour market during the past
week vary widely. Some Of them re-
port one CT the best weeks of the sea-
son. others say the flour trade was
very quiet. 1t is agreed that the up
ward trend of prices, the market adj
vancing 20 to 40 cents per barrel last
week, brings quotations nearer the
satisfactory level than they have been
during the season. But several of the
millers say that the advance in prices
has driven the buyers from the mar
ket, and has caused a serious falling
off of inquiries.
No round lots were sold, tho one
miller reported that during the week
he had disposed of enough flour in
small lots to bring his volume nearly
to the normal mark for this season of
the year. There is distinct uncer-
tainty on the part of buyers who do
not believe the present price level will
be maintained.
The car shortage and transporta-
ton difficulties generally are becom-
ing acute. One mill was forced to
close down in Topeka during the week
on account of lack Of cars, but two
others say they will close down Mon
day if they do not receive cars in the
meantime.
Not only difficulty in securing cars
is reported, but shipments require two
to three weeks more on the road after
they have been loaded than formerly.

month to get carload of flour to

RENEW WAR ON CHINCH BUGS
Burning of Grass Along Fences Will
Destroy Crop Pests.

Manhattan, Kan. Oct. 19.-The
war on the chinch bugs in Kansas
will be renewed this fall.
Kansas farmers saw a few Sudan
grass and kafir fields destroyed by
bugs in 1921 and in a number of the
southern counties they burned the
bunch grass along hundreds of miles
of fence rows and in bitches and
waste places.
These control measures were prac-
ticed on relatively few farms and the
majority of the bugs found the wheat
fields in. the spring of 1922. Not many
farmers saw them in the small grain
until harvest time, when the brown
and red insects of a new brood were
migrating to adjoining corn, kafir, or
Sudan grass fields. There, after at
lacking a few outside rows, this brood
matured and flew to all parts of the
fields to lay eggs for another genera
ton.
The dry weather of July and Au-
gust was favorable to the growth of
the young bugs and the second gen.
Grafton did great damage in some
fields. The bugs are now ready to fly
to their winter quarters in the bunch
grass.
