with the connections as shown and the

that 1t Is strictly against
the law to employ telephone micro

weary voice explained: you all recog'
nize that Briffeur was killed as he was
about to testify. Whoever did the
deed was afraid of what he knew. He
could not, of course, have foreseen that
the lights would go out; but when they
did he seized the opportunity. He
feared that the chauffeur would tell
who killed Slyke. And while he might
not have been able to prove his state
ment, he knew enough to be dangerous.
For myself, l believe the chauffeur
could have told us, and that he was
killed to shut his mouth"
The district attorney made a little
gesture OF dissent. 81 see that; but, on
the otner band, how do we know that
Briffeur himself did not kill Slyke?
He said, you remember, 'Slyke muir
dered-I-killed-' Maybe he killed
him himself"
Black nodded an emphatic agree
ment. This accorded with the theory
he had advanced the night before. I
could see that BARLEY, however, was
not convinced. AS he made no COM
ment the attorney continued, "He
said nothing more; but may we not
say that, if he had finished the sen
tence, what he would have said would
have been, 'Slyke murdered. 1
KILLED HIM."
"Then why was the chauffeur
killed?' BARLEY asked with strcas-
tic smile.
The lawyer shook his head slowly,
and answered that he advanced his
argument as a theory only.
81 have an idea," BARLEY said, that
if the chauffeur had finished the sen
tence it would have been 'Slyke MUIR
dered. l know who did it,"

ries, one seemed to me just as likely |
to be correct as the other.

tapped at every turn. This tapped
switch connects to the antenna side
while the tapped side Of the coil con-
meets to the plate of the tube. The
untapped end Of the coil with a con-
denser in series connects to the grid
side of the secondary of the vario-
coupler. In addition, a variable grid
leak Is added from the grid of the tube

1t will be noticed that the capacity

apparently the most effective control
Of this grid feed back is by means of
the variable grid leak. Although the

There are many ways in which the
ordinary type of telephone transmitter
or microphone may be used along with
ones regular radio apparatus. 1t is
possible to set up a very simple tele-
phone circuit between two neighbOring
houses or to put these micrOphones
Into service for relaying radio broad
casting over wire to friends house
A few suggestions are given in the
accompanying sketch for hooking up
microphones with other radio appara-
tus which the fan will recognize as
legal. The simplest form of straight
away phone circuit Is shown on the
top. 1t will be noted that two micro
phones, two sets of radio headphOnes
and three or four dry batteries are
connected In series. Between the two
Is run a connecting wire which need
not necessarily be Of copper. Ordi-
nary galvanized iron wire can be sub
stituted with equal success, provided
there Is no actual contact with the
ground. The return is by means Of
the water supply system, thereby eff
fecting an economy In wire.
The objection to such method Is
that the battery is used continuously
unless a switch is inserted to discon-
meet 1t. Then 1t becomes impossible
to talk to the other station without
sending notice beforehand. A some
what better circuit is suggested and 1t
will be noted that there is a battery
at each station.
A point to be called to attention is
that the batteries are connected In
opposition. There is a very good rea
son for this. When the microphone
at one end is spoken into the fluctu-
ating current travels not only through |
the telephone head set located there, |
but also through the line and ground

Interest Aroused in
New Kaufman Circuit

Considerable interest is being
aroused in radio circles throughout the
East over the efficiency Of the new
Kaufman circuit, originated by Wolff
Kaufman. This circuit Is Illustrated
here. At first glance, no especial diff
ferences are noted in the circuit. Ac-
tually there are two distinct depart
ures from the usual form of circuit.
First, the plate circuit feeds through
the primary tuning inductions before
passing through the receivers to the
opposite side Of the plate battery. In
series in the plate circuit and the
antenna lead, is added q single layer
inductance consisting Of 80 turns of

Gus Developments and ideas that have
been presented In the past and due
credit should be given to the origi-
nator for the time and patience re-
quired in developing 1t to a practical
stage.
Undoubtedly the circuit affords IN
limited possibilities Of still further de-
velopment along this line and 1t Is
quite apparent that more will be heard
from 1t from time to time.

Mounting of Panels
on Aluminium Angles

Amateurs often experience difficulty
in mounting unit panels. The usual
way to mount them is on large board
with spaces cut out for each panel,
but this Is very troublesome, and every
time a new panel is to be added a
new board must be made. BY mount
ing them on aluminium angles a neat
job will result. and when another
panel Is added the old ones are left
intact.
This angle can be purchased for
about ten cents a foot. Use angle
inch wide by one-eighth
inch thick. Make panels AZ inches
square and mount three In row, so
to mount six use four pieces of angle

CHAPTER XII

In Which We Begin to Find Motive
BARLEY had some work for me to
do, and 1 did not dine until the 9TH
Currie wandered into the dining room
and sat down beside me. The MUIR
der had taken all the life out of him.
1t was the first time that he had
come so close to crime He seemed
unable to forget the cry and those
We discussed the affair for a while ;
then I excused myself and went in
search of Barley.
1 had been thinking for hours of
the latest crime, and no solution had
come to me. 1 could not understand
how, in those few moments. of dark
ness, the murderer had been able to
approach the chauffeur near enough
to kill him, nor why the people next
to him had heard nothing.
When l told BARLEY Of my bewil-
derment, he answered with a little
grin: Il agree with you, Pelt, it's
very mysterious. It's the first time
I ever heard of murder taking place
at an inquest and in room filed with
people. There are no clues, apparently.
TO my mind, however, the real rea-
son for the murder was to prevent
Briffeur from testifying. Whoever
killed him knew about what he would
say. and feared that he would tell
who had killed Slyke." n
Breaking In on him, 1 said, "But he
could not have foreseen that the
lights would go out and give him a
I thought that it was the
storm that extinguished them"
He nodded. That's true enough
It was that last flash Of lightning.
Darkness was just what he needed,
and he took advantage Of 1t. He had
several moments in which to act. |
There were not many people near
enough to the chauffeur to have |
killed him in that short time"
He rose, went over to his bag and
brought back the knife with which
The murder had been committed Fol
several moments he examined 1t, theD
lie asked as he passed 1t over to ME
What do you think Of it7"
1t was rather odd knife. 1t re-
'embled hunting knife, and the
,dge showed it had had a good deal
If use. The blade was very dull ex-
'ept at the point. 1t was too large to
,e carried in mans pocket, but a
woman could have hidden 1t some
where in the folds of her clothing.
AS BARLEY seemed to expect some
Comment from me as 1 handed 1t back
o him, said, Save for the fact it's
lot very sharp and seems to have
een used a great deal, I can learn
othing from it."
He smiled as he turned the knife
yer and over in his hand. "Oh,
here's more than that. 1t tells
reat deal. The knife Is unusual in
hape and length. There was time
yhen it was used a great deal, and
he owner kept it very sharp and
lean. But for some time now he
as neglected it. There Is one very
Important thing that you have over
)oked. You remember those little
rawlings I found on the magazine In
lyke's room, the row of connected
rcles? 1 find the same thing here"
I gasped, and, reaching for the
nife, looked at the wooden handle

ito the other.
