Sir James arrived punctually at
eight o'clock, and julius introduced
Tommy. Sir James shook hands with
him warmly.
Immediately the FIRST greetings were

eager questions. How had Sir James

Somehow the whole scene seemed unr
real. 1t was so exactly what one ex-

beautifully staged.
The girl looked from one to the

eyes. Sir James spoke first.

cousin, Mr. julius p. Hershelmmer."
A faint flush fitted over the girls
face, as julius stepped forward and
took her hand.
"How do. Cousin JaneT he said
lightly.
But Tommy caught the tremor In
his voice.
"Are you really Uncle Hiram's sonf'

Her voice seemed vaguely familiar

she station and tackled the porter
anew.
Look here, do you remember a
young lady who arrived by an earlier
train, the Il so from London3 Shed

house."
He described Tuppence as well rs
he could. but the porter shook his
head. Several people had arrived by
the train In question. He could not
call to mind one young lady In particu-
lar.
Tommy rejoined julius and ex-
planned. Depression was settling down
on him like a leaden weight. He felt
convinced that their quest was going
to be unsuccessful. The enemy had
over three hours start. Three hours
was more than enough for Mr.. Brown.
He would not ignore the possibility of
the telegram having been found.
The way seemed endless. It was
past seven o'clock when a small boy
told them that "t' Moat house" was
just past the next corner.
A rusty iron gate swinging dismally
On Its hinges! An overgrown drive
thick with leaves. There was some
thing about the place that struck a
chill to both their hearts.
A turn of the drive brought them In
sight Of the house. That, too, seemed
empty and deserted. Was 1t indeed
to this desolate spot that Tuppence
had been decoyed? 1t seemed hard to
believe that human footstep hat
passed this way for months. Julius
jerked the rusty bell handle. A jan
Cling peal rang discordantly, echoinf
through the emptiness within. No one
came. They rang again and again
but there was no sign of life. TheI
they walked completely round thu
house. Everywhere silence, and shut
tered windows.
Nothing doing" said julius.
They retraced their steps slowly t
the gate.
"There must be village handy,
continued the young American. "We'
better make inquiries there. They'l
know something about the place, an
whether there's been any one ther
lately"
"Yes, that's not a bad idea"
Proceeding up the road, they sool
came to a little hamlet. On the out
skirts of 1t, they met workman swing
ing his bag Of tools. and Tomm
stopped him with a question.

julius drew q deep breath.
Il guess that settles 1t. She came
as far as here, anyway. Well make

Somebody must have seen her."
Forthwith the campaign began.
julius wired to town for his car, and
they secured the neighborhood daily
with unfiagging zeal. julius was like
hound on the leash. He followed up
the slenderest clue, but, as day sue
ceeded day, they were no nearer to dis
covering Tuppence's whereabouts. So
well had the abduction been planned
that the girl seemed literally to have
vanished into thin air.
And another preoccupation was

neer of the Bureau of Standards.
This instrument transmutes the radio
impulses into a. specially devised
land line telegraph cod ;, which, in
turn. is recorded by the printer or

The first long distance experiment
tai test of the Dunmore- Morkrum
system in news transmission was
made last February between Chicago
and Milwaukee. The Morkrum Com
pany, cooperating with the Associat-
ed Press and the Milwaukee Journal
tested the system first by moving
the Associa ted Press dispatches into
the Journal office in typewriter
form. The results were satisfactory
to the radio experts and the news
men. but because of several minor
problems suggested by the trial the
engineers requested additional time
for perfecting the system for COM
mercial installation.
ut is hoped that distribution of
news by wireless will solve the prob
lens of the papers in the smaller
towns, said a statement made public
today by Sterling Morton, president
of the Morkrum Company.

Demonstrates Privacy
In Radio Communication

Chicago. Nov. 9-(By~ A. P)-Pri-
| Vacy in radio communica ton, by
! means of standard line printer tele-
graph machine, was demonstrated to-
day by Chicago experts before zthe
annual convention of the Association
of Railway Electrical Engineers.
! The first public demonstra ton of the
system which radio engineers pre-
dict will mark the beginning of q
new era in wireless communication
was made today as a result of a
series of experimental tests extend-
ing over virtually year. The de-
siSners OF the new equipment claim
for 1T important possibilities in the
direction of extended commercial use
of the ether waves for private com
munication, commercial telegra ph
and press reporting.
Before the 800 assembled engineers
today, message from a standard
broadcasting station FIVE miles from
the convention room was typed in
the meeting hall on on ordinary
stock ticker" device at the rate of
approximately. 80 words minute.
Because of purposely jumbled con-
nections in the sending and receiving
machines. which. however. were co..
ordinated as between the two sta
tons. signals which were rendered in
the convention hall as a clearly in
telligible, neatly typed dispatch, were
simultaneously recorded on other sets
as an indecipherable conglomeration
of meaningless letters and figures and
punctuation marks, all devoid of
linear spacing.
The key device of the new sys-
tenn is small instrument weishing
less than 20 pounds known as the
