in company with mademoiselle, or In
running or crawling toward the
Boches trench, the American dough-
boy couldn't be equalled for speed
When it came time, however, to pass
secret radio messages, where no par
ticular danger was involved either for
the sender or the receiver, the Ger
mans seemed to be able to make 1t
trihe snappier.
The aforegoing is apropos OF the
statement that German code messages
were sent so fast that radio operators
of the allies, who weren't supposed to
be playing, anyway, were not able to
take them. 1t was not long, though,
until what the allied operators lacked
in speed they made up in ingenuity. A
certain operator, by the triangulation
method, found that messages were be-
Ing sent from a station in Germany to
another In German East Africa.
After several weeks Of work, this
operator took a dictaphone to his sta
ton and set the blank wax cylinder in
motion at a rapid rate of speed while
a German message was on its way to
Africa. After the message had been
"caught" in the wax cylinder the
cylinder was placed on a transcribing
machine and then run so slowly that
the mysterious dots and bushes could
be taken with ease. Later, the mes
sage was decided and its secret known
by the allies. The knowledge derived
from this operators experiment is now
employed in transcribing press mes
sages from Europe to America.

CHAPTER VI
An Unexpected Development.

| For weeks thereafter he was only
family conscious of his surroundings
at intervals. Once, reused by some
injection, he was aware of making
brief deposition for use at the cor0-
ner's inquest, and once Molly's face
appeared. wet with tears, out of the
shadows, and her lips touched him.
But he was desperately Ill, and II was
February before the crisis was past.
and he awakened, intensely weak, but
conscious, to realize that he was In
Kitty's house, and that Kitty had
been nursing him.
Feebly he whispered bis gratitude,
and asked forgiveness because he had
not been able to keep his promise TO
look after Joe.
"You did all that could be done,
WILL" she answered. ut was wonder
fully puclSy, your bringing him to
Mollys house as you did. No one
could have done more"
He asked for Molly, and learned that
she had gone home on the day after
he had been brought to the house.
Kitty promised to show Wilton Molly's
letters when he got better.
"Then you know we are engagedf"
asked Wilton.
Kitty smiled a little. II couldn't
help knowing that" she answered.
I'm glad for Molly's sake"
Wilton's mind had been all be-,
wllderment as he racked his brains
for a clue to Joe's death. Had he been
sure II was murder, he could have
gone grimly to work on the solution.
But there was always the doubt the
paralyzing doubt. that II had been an
accident, and that one OF the half
breeds had fred the shot.
Yet Bowyer must have known Of
IL: Bowyer had sent the impostors to
arrest him; he became more and more
convinced that Bowyer had learned
Of Joe's death that afternoon at the
portage, and had devised the arrest
to keep him from the meeting.
Among Wllton's callers was old Jim
Belts, to whom he extended his con-
fdence In @ large measure.
"Bowyers guilty as H." he de-!
clared, "Phayre mightn't have known.
guess he didn't. But Bowyer knew.
when he had Phayre bring that mo-
ton forward, that Joe wouldn't re-
turn. Put that thought In your pipe

my life to the Missatibi, because IL

added.
1t was the middle OF February be-
fore Wilton was allowed to leave the
house. Nearly two months had been
lost, and during that time Bowyer and
Phayre, whatever their plans might
be, had had good leeway to develop
them.

Harry Hipke, who was largely re-
