ought to be shot for ever having
allowed it in the first place.
I thought better of her. Let me
take you away I You can live in my
rooms if you like, and I'll clear out.
I don't want to force myself upon
you. I'm sorry enough for every
tning tnatt happened, but you re my
wife, and it's my duty to look after
you."
She raised her eyes coldtyy to his
agitated lice.
"To look after me and see that I
don't tarnish the' aristocratic name
of 'Wicklow,' is that it?" she asked.
She rose to her feet "Oh, you
needn't be afraid; I'm not likely to

jf body need knew that we were ever

"But I want them to know," he
urged. "I want every one to know
that you are my wife. I'll take you
away; we'll go abroad; you've never
aeen the world, Hazel. You'd have
the time of your life." He paused
eagerly. .
'With you?" she asked. She
looked away from him. . "Thank
you, but I would rather stay here."
She went over to the window and
stood looking out into the street
Her breath was coming fast, and her
hands were clasped together to hide
her trembling; but Barry Only saw
the defiant carriage of her head and
heard the hard finality of her voice.
- There was long moment of si-
her. -
y- "Ana this it your last word?" he
. asked,, stinly.
She answered without turning:

stopped. "Well it's an end if I go

"Very well."
She did not even look round. -.
Barrjr picked up his hat and coat
from a chair and walked to the door.
T He looked round the little room,
with its gaudy furniture and air of
untidiness, then his eyes traveled to
the slim, defiant figure in the win
dow. If he went now, he knew that he
was leaving her to Delia and Delia's
life and friends; if he stayed

"Hazel." But she might not have
heard for all sign she gave, and
Barry went out, shutting the door
after him.
, Hazel went back to the fire and
crouched down by it, shivering with
excitement.
i He had gone; he had done with
her done with her. She moistened
her dry lips; they were burning. She
looked down at her hands and was
aurprised to see how they shook.
, . She leaned over and poked the fire
into a blaze; the flames shot upwards
cheerily. -
She held her hands to them; she
was chilled to the bone. Barry had
gone. It was the one thought in her
brain. - ' . . . .
"I don't care," she said, aloud. The
sound of the words frightened her.
"I don't care at all," she said
Gash of Radio
Firms on Patents
Advertisements Warning
Against Sale of Crystal De
lectori Are Misleading.
In the radio trade newspapers, and
nagaiinri, mere nave recently ap-
u'i page advertisements, in
dicating a iwarnina aaiinit the
and sale of crystal detectors, general
ly used in the lest expensive type of
rauio receiving sets, i his advertise
ment states that patents on . the
crystal type of detector are con
trolled by the advertisers and dealers
are warned not to buy or sell any
crystal detectors except those made
oy me holders of these patents.
When requested to five an ooinion
on the question of the validity of
these "patents." Alexander Eisemann,
one of the foremost figures in the
radio industry today, said that in hit
opinion these patents have nothing
but a "nuisance value."
It is stated that' this form of
warning advertisement", is beinor
used to divert salea from other radio
apparatus manufacturers, it being un
derstood that when a dealer asks a
manufacturer to hold him harmless
in the event of a patent suit, such
guarantees cannot legitimately be
given, owing to the fact that patent
holders might bring- suit against
some small, dealera who would not
be financially in a position to prop
erly defend the suit
Crystal An Old Invention.
The holders of the patents, who
published this "warning," are being
forced to bring suit against any one
or more of a group of well known
radio manufacturers, in order to
prove whether these "warnings" are
usued in good faith. Failing this,
one or more of the group expect
shortly to bring suit against the
"patent" holders, asking an injunc
tion and damages to prevent them
from continuing the warning ad
vertisements until a tuit has been
adjudicated, at it is claimed that
dealers are being intimidated without
cause, as yet, through tht advertise
ments.
Mr, Eisemann stated that old pat
ents. miKizinet and other scientific
literature, shows that the crystal de
vices claimed to have been pat
ented," were described in these maga
zines and patents many years before
the present holders "patents" were
applied for. There is a great volume
of this literature, it is said, in French,
uerman and Dutch languages, - as
well as in English, clearing explain
ing the crystal detector, no one ever
having bothered to file patent applica
tions on them until comparatively
recent times.

And now it is the dentists who are
profiting by radio. It is a great ad
vantage to keep the mind ot a I
patient off his troubles. When a
radio earpiece is clamped on what
registers on the ears of the sufferer
makes him more or less indifferent to
what is going on in his mouth. Great
possibilities for the soothing talker.
Some of us will remember when a I
good talker made us feel it was a I

again. -
She rose to her feet and went over
to the glass. She looked at herself
for a moment curiously.
,i She knew she had changed; but she
wondered a little that Barry had
been so angry to see it. ". t
She had thought he would like
her clothes, and the new way she
did her hair. She had copied Delia
as nearly as she could. Delia had
said that men liked women to be
smart; Delia had said a lot of other
things as well; a lot of things about
Barry that had added to the wall of
'ice round his wife's heart. :
She knew now that it was not only
in appearance that she had changed.
She felt like another woman. The
girl she had been when she loved
- and married Barry Wicklow had
died and left in her place a hard
woman, yean older, who spent the
dayt looking on onl and refusing
. to look back. - . .
i In her heart she blamed Barry for
her mother's death. She blamed him
for everything. Sometimes, lying
awake at night, she thought of every
thing he had ever said to her, and
marveled bitterly that she had ever
" believed in him. - . .
n.H had told her that men are
" better actors than women. Delia,
had told her that Barry was the sort
-of man who made love to every
woman he met. ;
-Why, there was a girl at the last
show I was in." she began, but
, Hazel had stopped her.- Don t
don'tl" she had begged. "I don t
want to hear any more." ' .
The world had toppled in piecet
about her during the last fortnight.
She smiled faintly, meeting the
look, of her reflected eyes. She was
sorry for the girl who had loved
Barry Wicklow.
"Men like go-ahead girls," had
- been another of Delia's remarks.
t "Barry's a man about town, my dear;
-he'd have been rusted out if he'd
stayed in your sleepy hollow another
TVeek. You'd have to have bucked
i up if you wanted to keep him," she
laughed reminiscently. "You ought
- to have seen him at that supper party
'where I first met him," she went on.
"yWhcnvI went home in the small
sours of the morning your. Barry
Wicklow was dancing an Irish jig
with Topsy St. Helier on one ot the
tables. Goodness! don't look so
shocked! He'd like you a jolly sight
better if you were the same s6rt of
woman, and don t you torget it
Delia really believed what she was
saying: she was tirmly convinced
that the -fact that Barrv had got
tired of Hazel was at the bottom of
all this trouble; that he 'had found
her too slow and countrified, and that
he had never really meant to marry
her.
She had made Hazel believe it as
well. .
She had artfullv impressed it upon
the younger girl's mind till now all
Hazel longed for was to be like Delia
to be as smart as she was, to be
able to stay out all night and not
have a headache in the morning. To
get to like smoking cigarets and
drinking champagne, and most of
all to go on the stage 1 She had
a vague sort of idea that if Barry
could see her across the footlights he
would love her again, that he would
come hanging round the stage door
to see her in the way so eloquently
described by Delia.
"A man never cares for a woman
he is too sure of," had been another
of Delia's little poisoned shafts.
Hazel had kept it firmly before her
during her .interview with Barry
that afternoon. She believed that
if she held him at arm's length he
would some day want her again. She
clung to the belief piteously as she
looked at her reflection in the glass.
She made up her mind that she
would go on go on no matter
what it cost her. After all, there was
no longer a choice left to her; Joe
Daniels had cast her off. Cleave
farm was closed to her, and now
Barry had done with her, too.
"I'll make him sorry," she told
herself fiercely. "Oh, I'll make him ;
sorry."
She did not realize that the easrest
road to find is sometimes the one
which we have carefully prepared
for the feet of another.
CHAPTER XXI.
"My word 1" said Delia. ;
She paused on the threshold of
Hazel's little bedroom and looked at
her cousin with wide eyes. Hazel1
was dressed for the supper party
with Hulbert; she was standing m
front of the small dressing table eye
ing herself anxiously. '
She turned as ueiia spone. onau
I do? Do you think I shall do?"
she asked doubtfully. '
Delia walked round Hazel with
slow criticism.
"I'm sorry I ever gave you that
dress," she said at last frankly. "I
never knew it looked so decent.
What in the world have you done to
it?"
Hazel flushed. "I only altered it
a little; it was too big. Does it real
ly look nice?" . , ,
, Delia sat down on the bed and
nodded, " . '
"Never thought you had it in you,
she said frankly. She - looked the
vniincer eirl uo and down. "You
ought to fetch them properly," she
added, ' . , 1 ...
Hazel flushed. Perhaps she did
not know how pretty she was look
ing in the flimsy black -trocK mat
Drlis barf mven tocher with the re
mark that it was an awful rag, but
that she might be able to make
something out of it. - ' '
It suited Hazel's fair hair and deli
cate skin to perfection. She looked
very young and slim in the tun sxirt
cut short above her little feet and
ankles, her pretty hair loosely ar
ranged. There was a short silence,
then Delia rose. '
"Here I'll lend you 'my pearls;

they're not real, but they're not half
a bad imitation, and they'll just fin

eo grateful, my dear," she added
tartly as Hazel began ,to thank ner.
"If we cull this off with Greaves
I'm going to get a tidy sum out of
the mean old brute. He thinks you re
a find, and, if you are, it'll be up to
him to give me something handsome
see?" " 1 '
. She went off without waiting for
a reply. She came back with the
pearl necklace, which she clasped
round Hazel s throat. -
"There's that puts 50 pounds on
to the frock," she said, with a nod
of satisfaction. "And with the roses
Laurie Hulbert sent where are
they?"
"In the other room."
"Well, urry and put them on, or
he'll be here before we're ready, and
he hates being kept waiting.
Hazel obeyed eagerly. She was
very excited; her cheeks were flush
ed and her eyes shone. Her hands
shook with eagerness as she fastened
Hulbert's roses Into the filmy folds
at hex waist. '
It was wonderful what a differ
ence dress made to anybody, she
thought, and then, with a sharp pang.
she wondered what her mother would
say if she could see her! ' ,
Hazel never thought about her
mother if she could help it. She be

she was trying to bury deep away,

Delia si philosophy had helped her

"There isn't anybody in the world

flippantly. "There isn't anybody
