must be exercised to get the two bear
ing holes In the rotor In line with the
one on the panel.
For the moving part of the induct-
ance system hardwood ball rotor 8
inches In diameter is used. They are,
in most cases, drilled for 3-18-inch
shaft, SO 1t becomes necessary to drill
out this hole for N-inch shaft.
A 3-32-lnch hole is bored through the
rotor and shaft, at right angles to the
shaft, and a short piece Of 3-32-inch
brass rod driven into this hole, to lock
the rotor to the shaft.
The rotor should be wound with 1S
turns of No. "a D. G. @. wire on each
side, or 80 turns In all.
On the rear Of the panel. near the
center, Is a single pole, double throw
switch.
AS may be seen by glance at the
hook-up this switch serves to connect
the ground to either the first tap
switch or the inductance side Of the
grid condenser. When in the latter
position the receiver is more selective

obtained. A composition knob TX inches

inside.
Strips Of h-inch oak are fastened on
the inside, 3-16 inch from the front
edge and the panel secured to 1t by
screws, SO that the panel surface sets
flush with the edges Of the cabinet.
The cabinet can be finished up In
any desired manner, but the simplest
Is to merely stain 1t with oil stain and
then varnish or wax 1t.
Although the set will work after
fashion when wired in almost any
manner, good results cannot be OBJ
tained with poor wiring. No. IA bare
copper wire should be used. All leads,
particularly in grid circuit. should be
short as possible. Close, parallel grid
and plate wires should be carefully
avoided.
II 1t Is desired to obtain loud signals
1t is simple matter to connect an
ampllfer to this set. The "a" bat.
terry posts on the amplifier should be
connected In parallel to those on the
set, and the phone posts Of the set
connected to the input posts of the
amplifier.-Radlo News.

tendency has been noticed lately to-

wave receivers. They ere not only
economical In construction. but are
easy to operate.
Inductive OF conductive coupling, II

equally loud signals. so there Is no OBJ

latter system. An objection which is
frequently advanced to conductive
coupling Is that there Is much broader

yours, Westlake."
Westlake rather marveled at the
ease with which Sandy and his chums
dismissed a matter that meant ma
terial loss of money to them, but he
had seen the light in Sandy's eye and
he knew his capacity for action when
the moment arrived. The four sat up
late, talking Of mining in various
ways and places.
'4Thls Westlake hombrell 60 a long
ways" summed up Sam to Sandy after
Westlake had turned in and Mormon
had yawned himself OF to bed. "He
sure knows heap. he don't bras. he's
on the square, an he ain't afraid Of
work"
That Westlake won approval from
Molly, and also from Kate Nicholson,
was patent before breakfast was ever
the next morning. A buyer came ont
from Hereford demanding Sandys at
tention and he stayed at the ranch
while the three and Sam went OF
saddleback. Westlake had expressed
desire to see the ranch and Molly
had volunteered to display her own
renewed knowledge Of 1t. The buyer
looked at the Three Star stock with
expert eyes and made bids that were
highly satisfactory.
Better beef, better prices. that's
the modern slogan" he said at the
noon meal with Sandy and Mormon.

talk in Hereford this morning Of

General row among the crowd, far
as could make out. Plimsoll shot
at one Of his men named Wyatt, I
believe, and started to run him of
the ranch. There were sides taken
and shots fired"
"News to me-" said Sandy. He was
not especially Interested in Waterline
happenings so long as Plimsoll re-
mained set. The buyer left and the
rest Of the day went slowly.

and Westlake were obviously more

At the end Of the ten minutes the
three men walked together toward
the cottonwoods. Grit was lying on
the grave, and they saw Molly kneel-
ing by the little railing. They ad-
vanced silently over the turf and
stood in a group about her with their

made no move and Molly did not look
up for two or three minutes. Then
she greeted them with a smile. There
were no tear-signs on her face though
her eyes were moist.

 How few of us appreciate the beautiful world in which We live? Many of us walk through it like ghosts, as if we were in it but not of it.. We have eyes and see not, cars and hear not.
