next Ambassador to Sweden. Do you know
him, Mrs Barnes?"
oh no. Mrs. Stephen Dawes told me this
afternoon he was here. It seems he is taking
a sort of rest cure, and isn't meeting any one
Mrs. Dawes and Helen see good deal of him"
Helen would" murmured Marion, under
her breath.
Betty Barton, for whom her mother was
chaperoning the Lake Placid party, remarked
that she had never seen Carroll at any dances
in New York.
mo, not the debutante parties I suppose.
He's never cared great deal about women,
anyway, hear. He's never married"
Sounds like rather chilly ambassador, I
should think" put in Harry Blow.
'Oh, no." said Mrs. Barnes comfortably.
''Hs friends seem to find him quite charming.
He is a great deal with Helen here. But of
course she is an unusually interesting girl"
"Hmmm." 1t a polite enough sound, as
Marion made it. But it was really the rum
bling of the old battle cry. Helen being
"clever" with the remote Mr.. Carroll, was she?
Hmmm. Marion decided that with a whole
week ahead of her at Lake Placid, she would
about that :.
But it hadn't been so easy to see about, after
all. The five young people in Mrs. Barnes party
had skied, and STATED and tobogganned, and
played bridge and danced, through five days of
the week now And Standish Carroll was just
as remote figure as ever. His cabin, dark
spot against the white hill, showed lights in

the evenings. But he never came down the
steep path to the club. In the daytime Marion
had seen him several times. Often in the
triumphant company of Helen. He skated alone
or with Helen, who didn't seem eager to
introduce him.
Not that Marion would be so clumsy as to
mention it to her, of course. But one evening
when Helen making a fourth at bridge
Barry blurted out in his innocent way:
How about this Carroll stuff, Helen? What
are you being? An old mans darling? Can't
you share him with your playmates?"
And Helen, at her most languid, replied:
"Oh, Standish is resting. He goes to Sweden
next month, you know. And lot of young
people don't interest him. 1 suggested his
playing bridge tonight and he just said no.
He's rather dear . let's see . who dealt
this?"
There was something in the very way Helen
bid two spades which made Marion boil If
she was going to be so darn SNUG about her old
Standish Carroll
And now here they were snowshoeing across
the far ridge
The morning sped by on slipping, leaping,
tumbing wings. Nothing is more glorious than
incorporating you ski we'll And Marion
skied very well indeed.

RAIL CRACK FINDER
PROVES SUCCESS
Late Inventors Electrical
, Safety Device Perfected
Since His Death.
az the Asanniated pres.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 30-Alive,
Elmer A. Sperry, the Iron Mike" gyro
wizard, made ocean travel safer. His
latest discovery rises posthumously to
rid railroad travel OF the disasters due
to rail cancer"
Sperry died a few months ago, while
trials were incomplete upon his last
major scientific achievement, an cleo
trical detector of the invisible cracks in
rails which have been an unending
source of accidents since the beginning
OF American railroading.
The records of success in overcoming
this menace are published in the pro-
ceedings of the American Institute Of
Electrical Engineers which closed its
meeting here today. They are written
by Harcourt G. Drake, research engi-
neer of Sperry Products, Inc.
He tells how Sperry caused an cleo
trio current to disclose the transverse
assures within the interiors of rails,
assures which grow like living things,
their presence often unreyealed until
the rails fall apart.
"Since the first detector was placed
in service two years ago." Drake writes.
"many interesting fssure facts have
been accumulated.
1.-THE most important point is that
the transverses assures are now being
located before they can cause any dam
age, whereas prior to two years ago
their presence was not known until
they had grown to the surface or
broken the rail" Drake said.
