She felt cold at the opened it and read tht lew penciled lines. "I'm writing in a great hurry.' Netta wrote. "My dear, I've had an awiui time since we saw you a Ion night ago.

She" passed Mrs. Silcum without waiting for a reply, then. remembering turned and looked back at her with a wavering smile; "I'm glad to see you. too." she said. "V come down and talk to you in minute." She flew ur the stairs to Ketta's bedroom and knocked twice before a sleepy voice bade her enter. But when she opened the door Netta was apparently fast asleep again. Eliiabfth bent over, and touched her shoulder. "Netta I" Netta sat up with a violent start She looked pale and ill, and her eyes were heavy from want of sleep. She stared tor a moment; then laughed. "You I Heavens I Is anything the matter?" she asked. "I got your letter, and I came in stead of writing. Netta is he is he very ill?" Netta was fully awake now. She flung her rough hair back from her face and looked at Elizabeth with ac cusing eyes, l hen she said abruptly "What s it matter to you if he is? "Nothing at least you wrote and asked to see me,' so I came," Eliza beth answered incoherently, hardly knowing what she said. She was very pale and her. lips quivered. He is ill. very ill, Netta said sharply. "They say he ought to have an operation but he won't hear of it says he can t fford it, and stuff like that. They've patcheM him up for the time being, but the doctor says he'll get ill again if he goes on dancing." She flung the bed clothes back, and slipped to the floor with an impatient movement. J. ve overslept; here, talk to me while I get dressed.'! She began brushing her hair, ana Elizabeth sat on the side of the bed watching her dumbly. At last Where is he? she asked taintly. , ,"In his rooms. Of course. Where on you think he is?" was Netta's tan retort, "in a Park Lane nursing home?" Her voice was bitterly sar castic; she began tearing ruthlessly at the tangles in her hair.. "He'd have dted if it hadn t been for me, though I say it, she went on with suppressed savagery. "There was nobody but his landlady woman to do a thing for him, and she was no good. His wife never went near him hateful beast; I loathe herl She wrung every shilling: out of htm, and now she doesn't care what becomes of him." She looked Elizabeth full in the eyes. I m wondering if you re the same,' she said deliberately. Elizabeth gave a stifled cry and soransr to her feet. f If I'm the samel What do you mean? she asked shrilly. . What I say," Netta reiterated. Pat loves you no, he didn't tell me, she added with a mirthless laugh, as Elizabeth would have spoken. "I just found it out for my. self. He loves you, and he's never been the same man since you went to the Senestis woman. He's never said a word about you to me, but I saw that day down at the inn, when you were with farmer. lm not such a fool but that I can understand." (Continued la The Be. Tomorrow).

State Railway commission May 22, at the resump tion of the- telephone rate hearing, v Radio to Displace Cable, Says Expert Constant Interference Will Make Wireless Unfit for Phone Communication. Will radio displace the telephone? ibis is a question of a great deal cf debate and is most frequently answerahU in the negative, accord- mg to I'rol. r. B. Urown, instructor at ueorge Washington university. Because of constant interference, it would be out of the question to even try to handle phon calls by radio, stated Prof. Brown. However, he tiaiea mat he believed there would never be another cable laid to join foreign countries In communication, because of the certainty that wire. less will soon supplant that means of communication. Radio Education. "The field calls for radio engi neers," declared Prof. Brown, "and it is annarent that if the develonmtnt of the art progresses as rapidly in the next six months as it has hereto fore it is doubtful whether the de mand for these specialists can be met. The designing of the apparatus and the actual work of the installation is a most vital consideration for targe stations, as the equipment and connections must be as nearly per fect as possible." ' It is the belief of Prof. Brown that oniversities throuehout the country will establish special courses in radio. SPARKS If the very best is desired in a set that employs variable condensers for tuning, get condensers that have ver niers built in. These are two-plate condensers, mounted directly on the main shaft and controlled by a sepa-1 rale arm. Rough adjustments are made on the bis condensers, and very fine regulation is made with the verniers. The latter, before being touched, should be kept in half way. so that adjustments can be made either way, as necessary. Too much emphasis can not be laid on the importance or the neces sity of the right value of the grid leak. If it is not correct the set will howl unmercifully. Do not buy grid condensers with the leaks already built in. Buy a separate g;id con denser, and either make or buy a leak that can be varied easily, such as the pencil-line type. If the set does howl, try rubbing out some of the lines, and if the set doesn't work the way you think it should, try rub bing some more on. QUESTIONS V. S. B.. Tobias. Neb. Q.
