CHAPTER VIII

II should have become fairly obvious
by now that Jim Stanley's conception
of Rollin Waterman as simple, direct
ingenious sportsman. had many points
not cOnsonant with the truth. Water
mans life, in fact, had for so long
been filled with twistings and turnings
of various sorts that for him the
shortest distance between two points
had become the devious route of
corkscrew. The impulsiveness for
which Stanley admired him and on
account of which he made SO many
excuses for him was wholly on the
surface.
No sooner had Jim Stanley sailed
from San Francisco than Waterman
informed Doris that Nina Morgan had
left the Office. removed from her for
mer address. and that the private de-
tectives whom he called in had been
unable to trace her.
The Waterman-COlby wedding was

omew's church under the auspices of

she was to the bridegroom the most
conspicuous person there. Despite all
his poise, as he stood at the altar
with Doris at his side, he felt like a
man who rather expects to be shot
in the back at any moment. But
though Nina's presence was noted by
no one inside the church. with the
distinguished exception of the bride
groom, 1t was distinctly observed by
one of the numerous individuals who
crowded the sidewalk outside the
door to watch the wedding party as
it came from the church.
Frank Wilson was not invited to
the wedding, but he went, none the
less, as far as he could go without a
card of admission. and he was, to say
the least, interested when he saw
Nina come out. He had noted with
surprise the withdrawal of that young
woman from the office, but its exact
event had occurred before the pub.

gagement. That announcement had
interested Wilson even more keenly
in view of the continued absence of
Miss Morgan, so that he made bold
one day, shortly after, to speak to
Waterman about II.

gone for good"

THE STORY

Jim Stanley. New York bust
ness nan, orders his desk audi
phone taken to his home, intend
ing to finish his dictation there.
Rollo Waterman, his partner,
comes in. Both are in love with
Doris Colby. Stanley proposes
tossing a coin to determine which
shall first propose to Doris. Wa
terman wins. Nina Morgan, Wa
terman's secretary and mistress,
has overheard his conversation
with Stanley and resents Wa
terman's plan to desert her. Wa
terman says he is penniless and
must make a rich marriage. He
urges Nina to tell Doris that
Stanley has wronged her (Nina).
Doris admits to her father her
interest in both men, but is un-
able to decide which to marry.
Nina tells Doris her story, exact
ing a promise that Doris will
not tell the source of her in
formation. Doris is convinced of
SANKEY'S duplicity and is brok-
enhearted, realizing that it Is
Stanley she loves. Waterman
proposes and Doris accepts him.
Stanley accepts the situation,
and as a wedding present gives
his share of the business to Wa
terman. He arranges with his
secretary, Frank Wilson, to take
charge of his other business in
terests. He is going to India.
Doris tells Waterman part of
Nina's story and he promises to

wire and two miles back to the lab
oratory by radio. -Jny
To turn these radio waves back in
to light, an arrangement which per-
mits the use of a mercury arc lamp
is used. By this adaptation the weak
radio currents control the action of
the many times more powerful current
operating the arc lamp. This action
may be compared to the action of a
radio tube, where the weak radio cur
rent on the grid of the tube controls
the action of the Independent and
more powerful plate current.
Thus the mercury arc lamp goes
bright or dim as fast as the current
changes, and its light at any instant
is in proportion to the light that the
electric eye sees in the same instant.
To return the dots of light to their
original pattern, another revolving
disc or scanner is also used which is
similar to the transmitting scanner.
mits the radio pictures to be thrown
upon ground glass or screen, the
first time this has been done with tel
evision apparatus.
Both these scanning discs turn at
exactly the same speed; the hole in
the receiving disc must be exactly in
the same relative position as the cor
responding hole in the transmitting
disc. In other words, they must be
synchroniZed.
Westinghouse engineers were the
first to develop feasible method of
synchrOnism, and their method was
by means of radio. From transmit
ting equipment, which may be located
in the broadcasting station, they trans

receiver and by means of special APP
paratus controls the speed of syn
chronous motors which drive the
scanning discs of both transmitting
and receiving radio movie equipment.
This revolutionary method Of control
ling equipment indicates, in a meas
ure, the extent to which science must
go in order to perfect television or
radio movies.
But the developments in radio dur
ing the past year, and especially this
latest development indicates that the
word impossible" is rapidly being
written out of the vocabulary Of
American electrical engineering genius,
and that radio movies for all who
care to enjoy them are an assured
fact.

Women Will Approve
Hoouers Peace Stand

"The recent signing by 10 nations
of Secretary KellOgg's peace treaty in
Paris is undisputable evidence of the
Republican party's policy of interna-
tiOnal good will and understanding"
William III. Hill, Hoover-Curtis cam
paign chairman in New York, told
group of business men.
1.-The treaty constitutes a founda-
tion upon which Herbert Hoover. if
elected, will proceed to build the
greatest world peace structure ever
dreamed Of" he said. There is no
question of his desire for peace among
nations and, with this treaty, which
has been praised throughout the
world, to begin with, he will be able
to demonstrate further, the peaceful
Intentions of America.
1.-THE Kellogg pact should constitute
new appeal to the women of the
country to vote for Hoover and con-
tinue the policies of Republican adj
miniStration which has shown itself
SO alert in grasping the opportunity
to further international friendship"
said Mr.. Hill. Women, women's
clubs and women's magazines have
long been striving for concrete evil
dence of the country's desire for
world peace and they have it in the
Kellogg treaty and in the pronounce
ments of Hoover that he will not
cease his efforts until actual world
peace is obtained. 1t should encour-
age the thousands of women workers
in the Hoover campaign, moreover,
because they have, for the first time,
an issue of their own standing out

Dental candidate has made to the ma

He did not see Doris Colby again.
He called at her house Oh the Tues
day before he left New York, at an
hour when he knew she was almost
always in. He was a little surprised
when the butler told him that she was
not at home.
'Tm sorry not to see her Barker"
he said. "Be sure to tell her that.
shall not have another chance, as

for long Journey"
Stanley was, on the whole, relieved.
He had no wish to see Doris again.
For him the final interview was bound
to be a painful thing. He could have
no notion that 1t would also have
been painful to her. He was glad
that he was able to avoid it. From
San Francisco he sent her farewell
telegram:
"GoOd-by," 1t read, "and all the
good luck In the world to both my

That was on Monday morning. On
