PIANO TUNING. Mr. T. B. Smith, piano tuner, will be in O’Neill on October 19th. If your piano needs tuning call Mrs. C. B. Scott—Phone No. 40. 20-1 TAKEN UP. On August 9th one white sow weighing 160 lbs. Owner can have same by proving property and yaying expenses. 19-4 WALTER O’MALLEY. STRAYED. One 2-year-old Whiteface steer branded “M” on right hip and one roan yearling heifer branded “M” on right hip. 19-4 WALTER O’MALLEY. (Copyright.) QHE had such a gay little way with ^ her, always a smile or a laugh, a bit of sunshine or a joke. So happy, untouched by life’s troubles, Philip Vvainright thought as he watched her flitting around his room. “You’ll soon be up,’’ she smiled as she stopped in her work of arranging the things on Ills dresser. “I heard Doctor Maxton say he might let you sit up a few minutes tomorrow' If you have a good night and don’t run a tem - pernture this afternoon.” “That will be great, Miss Taylor. I’ll be glad to get my clothes on again, but even that has Its drawbacks.” Elizabeth Taylor laughed. “Draw backs! You’re a funny patient. Most of them have fits of Joy at the very idea of getting dressed again, and you’ve had such an extra long siege, too.” “I know, but we can’t always judge from appearances. There are worse things than being sick In a hospital wdth a dear little nurse to take care «f you.” Miss Taylor looked at him in amazement. “You mean you’d rather be sick than well?” she asked, her eyes wide with astonishment. "No-o—not exactly that. That would 4 be rather an exaggerated statement of my state of mind; but I’m bordering on that, and If you look at me once more with that absurd little csp on your head and your big blue eyes drilling through me, why I’ll never leave the place as long as I live. But I do wish you’d wait until I get fixed up before you look at me so hard. Really, I’m not half bad when I’m dressed and shaved.” "You’re getting flirty now.” Her voice was reproachful and she turned back to her work. “No, really I’m not. Please turn around again. Hang it, a fellow’s at such a disadvantage when he’s tied by the leg In bed.” ( Miss Taylor obeyed. “Yet, not a minute ago you weren’t sure you wanted to get well so fast." “That’s true, too. I’m not. Oh, if you only understood.” There was real distress In his tones, and Elizabeth ' stopped her teasing._._ ^Well, I’m sorry. I wish I could do something to help you.” “No one can, I’m afraid." A silence fell between them. “Want to tell me?” she Invited at last. “Shame to bore you with my wor ries, but it would do me good to talk It over. It’s a situation that's come up at the office. When I got my pro motion there were seven other men who had their eyes on my Job. Nat urally they are disappointed and dls gruntled, and now they are under me they are trying to make it Just as un pleasant as possible.” “Sillies,” said the girl. “They must have known that all of them couldn’t have had it, anyway.” “Yes, but each one thinks he was the man for the Job, and that gives me seven enemies, although In truth I should have only one at most." “How do they worry you?” “Oh, they almost mutiny at times, and are surly and unwilling to carry out my orders.” "I’m going to the mountains for a six weeks rest after I leave here, and then If they try any foolishness I’ve a mind to test your prescription. I’ve always been opposed to such methods, hut sometimes it seems the only way.” Walnwright, on the theory that ab sence makes the heart grow fonder, had secretly hoped that he would be welcomed hack after his long Illness, and that the old Jealousies and an tagonisms would be forgotten. But he was wrong, they were more hostile than ever, and Foster, who had substi tuted for him w hile he was away, was the most disgruntled of all. “All right, Foster, he said, “I guess I’ll take hold now.” Foster rose from Wainwright’s desk, “I guess you’ll have a hot—” Walnwrlglit’s fist landed square on the big man's chin, causing him to sit down suddenly In the middle of the floor, a ridiculous looking object with a bloody lip. “Anybody else want some of th« same medicine?” Watnrlght Invited, but Foster’s friends made no effort to come to his rescue. They turned back to their desks and w ent on as If noth ing had happened. That was the end of the mutiny, Walnrlght was treated with respect and his word was law In his depart ment, and when he Joyfully told Mis* Taylor about it that evening she was radiant with Joy. ‘You’re an awfully clever little girl.” ae told her warmly, “but now I’m ut against another problem.” “What Is It?” she asked. “Maybe 1 can help solve it, too.” “I want to know whether you’d rath er be kidnaped, or dragged to my wlg wam by the hair, or exactly what is your preferred method?” A quick flush spread over her face, but she was soon herself again, and a flash of mischief came Into her eyes as she answered: “You might try a little gentle coax ing first, followed by Just a dash oil cave-man stuff ” He followed ner a civ: ; to the letter and woo.

Radio Frequency and Two Stages of Audio Frequency Amplification. By J, L. GOLDSMAN, I.R.E.A.I.E.E. ! Very much discussion has been car ried on as to the practicability of the so-called reflex circuit—a circuit de signed, developed and patented In April and November of 1017 by Marius Latour, a French radio engineer. ; The circuit consists of four tubes, the first three acting as radio fre quency transformers, which are de signed for limited wave lengths, the last tube acting as a detector. After the rectification of the high frequency oscillations the current is led back to the primary winding of an audio frequency transformer and thence to high voltage and the filament. 1 The secondary winding of the tr. ns former Is placed in the grid cireu' of the second tube, which consequc tly amplifies the audio frequency os<. a tlons at the same time as the r; io frequency. The latter does not ; ss through the secondary windings, ! ut is shunted across a fixed condense: of approximately .002 mfds. The an lio frequency currents are amplified by the second tube and pass through the primary winding of the second audio frequency transformer. The secondary winding of this transformer is in the grid circuit of the third tube. This tube also amplifies the audio frequen cy currents \<»,kli f.mv through th.’ telephones, which are included in the plate circuit of the third tube. Fixed condensers are placed across both pri maries and both secondaries of the audio frequency transformers to pre . vent the windings from interfering with the high frequency oscillations flowing simultaneously In the same cir cuit. This circuit is complex and difficult to control due mostly to ca pacity effects, etc. In lieu of the radio frequency transformers 1 sub stituted oscillation transformers (.0001 variable condensers and approximate ly .2 millihenry Inductance). Better results were obtained. Great care must be taken to prevent understagC radio frequency transformers acting as grid*condensers and rectifying the high frequency oscillations before they reach the detector tube. This is com mon with many radio frequency sets on the market today. Atlanta Journal was heard in Toledo with this circuit using an aerial, but from all Indica tions the standard five-tube radio audio frequency eircult Is preferred where a loop is practical. Another cir cuit along these lines Is now under test using only three tubes and with a few changes in wiring greater audi bility has been obtained.

I had never realized what a different nature I possessed until I tried to bring myself to propose to Millicent. 1 was pretty sure she would accept me if I could but screw up my courage to the sticking point. Two or three times, indeed, I had very nearly taken the plunge. One aft ernoon^ Millicent and I grew confiden tial over the tea table, and my lips were actually framing the fatal ques tion, when I shot the muffin dish into her lap. A brilliant strategist would have risen to the occasion with a remark wittily appropriate and complimentary. Mil licent would have blushingly said that it did not matter, and the inevitable tableau would have resulted. As it was, seeing the havoc caused by the melting butter on her new silver-gray gown, I seized my hat and fled. Again, one Sunday evening on the river, I let the oars trull in the water us we drifted under the bank. “Mil licent,” I began, hoarsely, leaning for ward. “Will you—” A cough interrupt ed me, and I found two elderly dowa gers on the towing path eyeing me with stern disapproval I concluded lamely: “■— pull your left, please." . • “ The strain at last began to wear me thin, and I determined to resort to des perate measures. With this end in view, I Invaded Regent street. “I want an engagement ring,” I said, cursing inwardly at tho fine acoustic properties of the shop. Half a dozen people turned round to smile broadly in my direction. “It’s for a friend of mine,” I added loudly. “Yes, sir, I quite understand. What stone does the lady prefer, sir?” “My friend didn’t say,” I told him. The shop door swung open again. I turned round and found myself face to face with Millicent. “Fancy meeting you here!” I stam mered. “Fancy meeting you 1” she replied. “Urn—er—yes, ha 1 ha! Isn’t it funny? The fact Is”—I dropped my voice to a confidential whisper—“I am buying an engagement ring for—for Tommy Hasler. He Is confoundedly shy about those things, you know.” “How sweet of you. Who is the girl?" “Don’t you know?" “I can guess.” “You mustn’t,” I said. “Tommy wants it to be a dead secret.” “What is the size of the lady’s finger, sir?” asked the shopman, returning with a tray of rings. “I don’t know,” I said, glancing at Millicent’s gloved hand. “If it’s Ella Burnaby,” said Millicent softly, “she’s got rather fat fingers, and will want a large ring.” “Tommy told me to be careful to get a small ring. I like this one, do you?" Millicent nodded. “I’ll take it,” I said, “and chance it being the right size.” “Thank you, sir.” “I want a solid silver cigarette case,” j said Millicent to another salesman. | “You see, Ella Burnaby asked me to buy this for her, as she’s rather a shy girl, you know. I think it is for a Christmas present.” “Can I help you?” I said. “I am a bit of a connoisseur on cigarette cases. Is the fellow Tommy Hasler?” “I mustn’t tell,” said Millicent. “Because If it is, Tommy does not smoke.” “Oh!” she exclaimed blankly. “Ella must be plnying a - double game,” I insinuated. “I am sure she isn’t. Yes, that one will do.” “You’ll have the initials engraved on the case, ma'am?” asked the salesman. "Yes,” said Millicent. “T. L. H.,” I told him. “Yes, sir.” “No,” broke jn Millicent quickly, “these are the Initials.” She scribbled something on a card and pushed it across the counter without letting me see. “Of course, the initials must be engraved on Tommy’s ring. They are—” "They are not,” I said quickly. “Here they are.” I wrote something on an other card. “Is that right?” I asked recklessly, and handed the card to Millicent. “I think so,” she said, after a pause; dropping her eyes and handing the card to the salesman. “And—I hope you’ll like your cigarette case.” Quite a Difference. Reference at a recent dinner was made to the r rplexlties of the Eng lish language, when this story was fit tingly related by Zane Gray, the au thor of many charming stories of the great Southwest. Some time since a young girl who had gone through a fashionable col lege was having a highly intellectual talk with a young man acquaintance when the words “vision” and “sight” were used by the fair one. “I think I catch the drift of our argument, Mis? Smith,” said the young man in answer to the girl’s last re mark, “but please don’t make the mis take of saying ‘vision’ when ‘sight’ Is what you mean.” “I don’t quite understand you, Mr. Green,” loftily returned the young woman. “There is absolutely no dif ference between ‘vision’ and ‘sight.’ ” “Oh, yes, there is,” cheerfully de clared Mr. Green. “Walking along the street you occasionally met a girl who Is a vision, and the next minute you may meet one who is a sight.’’--Phila delphia Evening Telegraph, OATIS-ELSTON. LaVem Oatis, of Bloomfield, Wis-! consin, and Miss Marie Elston, of Clearwater, were united in marriage Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock, by County Judge C. J. Malene, at his offices in the court house. GALLAND-COOK. (Norfolk News.) Orville D. Galland, of Ewing, for merly of Norfolk, and Miss Viola Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Cook, of Spaulding, were married October 7, according to announce ments received by Norfolk friends. Mr. Galland is a rancher near Ewing, and formerly resided in Norfolk. GEORGE IIENRY FERRIS. (Atkinson Graphic.) George Henry Ferris was born six miles northeast of Neligh, Nebraska, November 8, 1903. He came to Holt county with his parents in 1918, where he has been employed as a farm hand up until May 1, 1925, when he rented some land twelve miles south of Emmet, having his pm.-nts to liv« with him, his father being in ill health. He died October 4, 1925, at the age of 21 years, 10 months and 27 days, at the Wilson hospital in Stuart, of appendicitis. He leaves to mourn his death his father, Peter Ferris, his mother, one sister, and nine brothers. One sister, Mrs. Mary Louellen, passed away December 11, 1918. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church in Atkinson, Tuesday morning, October 6th, at 11 o’clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Clinton Senneff. IIUMPHREY-CROZIER. The following account of the wed ding of these young people appeared in part in the Atkinson Graphic of last week: Miss Margie Crozier and Mr. Clay ton Humphrey were united in mar riage Wednesday, October 7th, the ceremony taking place at the T. M. Elder home at 4 p. m. Rev. E. L. Prather was the officiating clergy man, using the simple ring service. The guests included the Elder and Humphrey families, Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Prather, the E. L. Tennant family, Miss Julia Genung and Ralton Jarvis. The home was profusely decorated with autumn flowers, dahlias and asters predominating. The bride was attired in a coral silk crepe gown and carried a bouquet of ] roses and lillies of the valley. The groom wore the customary dark suit. Following the ceremony Mrs. Elder served a wedding dinner. She was assisted by the Misses Floy Humph ftey, h ranees Elder, Mansie Morrow, and Mesdames Ray Elder, Ira Elder and E. T. Tennant. Miss Crozier, whose home was at Lincoln, Arkansas, is a graduate of, the Presbyterian college of the Ozar-! ks at Clarksville, Arkansas, with the degree of A. B. Having formerly made her home with her aunt, she, in company with her cousin, Miss Man sie Morrow, spent last winter at the Elder home in Atkinson, and returned in the late summer from a visit in j Arkansas. j Mr. Humphrey has grown up in! Atkinson where he attended high I school. At the age of 16 he began ! work at the First National Bank' where he is still a trusted employee. Both have a large circle of friends by whom they were remembered in best wishes and in gifts of silver, linen, cut class, etc. For the present they will make their home with the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Van Humphrey. xxxxxxnxxxitxnxixitxixixtmxiiixuxxxittzttitttt | Royal Theatre | HOME OF GOOD PICTURES. -- FRIDAY - Irene Rich in “LOST LADY” Comedy - SATURDAY - \ Zane Grey’s “RIDER OF THE PURPLE SAGE” —with— “TOM MIX” Tom never made a poor one and j this is the best yet.
