Brown Begins to Prepare Defense Writes First Letters Since Capture Robbery Charge to Be Filed. Fred Brown, Benson chain man, began yesterday to prepare his de fense in connection with four charges filed against him by the county attor ney and for which he is imprisoned under $63,000 bonds. This was the first time that Brown ever desired to talk with newspaper men or to write letters to friends. Brown and Manford Biggs; churchman who was convicted of em bezzlement, have become chummy. Biggs gave Brown his paper tablet and a lead pencil so he could write some letters. In one letter fend by Brown to Warden Fenton he asks for a loan of $5, stating that he would like to buy a few small things, such as can dies and delica-'s. He telis Fenton he is sorry he did not recognize him last week when the warden visited him. His reason was that he had severe headaches which he attributes to his hurried trip from Wyoming to Lincoln and then Omaha. In another letter to Mrs. L. B. Morrison, a former Sunday school teacher, Brown professes his inno cence of the kidnaping and other charges. With Brown plcadig for a square deal and at the same time denying any of the charges against him, County Attorney Shotwell stated to day that he would file a fifth com plaint against Brown, charging him with r(bery. Truma Kellogg, former owner of a grocery store at 2117 North Twenty-fourth street identified Brown from a showup of 10 men in the county jail as the bandit who robbed him of $39 in his store. Cornerstone of Church at Cambridge, Neb., Laid Cambridge, Neb., July 18. (Spe cial.) The cornerstone of the new Methodist Episcopal church here was laid Sunday afternoon. Chancellor I. B. Schreckengast of Nebraska Wesleyan university at University Place vgave the principal address at the services which were attended by one of the largest crowds ever as sembled in Cambridge. Forty young persons were taken into the church at the morning ser vices. Rev. W. C. Kelly, local pastor, presided at the ceremonies. Road Conditions (Furnished hy the Oniatm Autn Cluh.)

"I suppose he will be coming again this week-end?" he submitted short ly. She stopped to disengage her dress from a trailing bramble. "I shouldn t be surprised," she answered, evenly. "He knows we are always glad to see him. ,Oh, look! There is Uncle joe." She raised her voice, calling to the farmer across the open stubble-grown space which they had reached and which divided the wood from the fields. Mr. Daniels turned and waited. He looked at Barry with rather un friendly eyes. Hazel slipped a hand through her uncle's arm. "We've been blackberrying," she said. "Look, aren't they beauties?" Mr. Daniels glanced at the basket Barry was "carrying and grunted. "Good enough. This is something new for you, Mr. Ashton."

Barry Wicklow "Yes," said Barry. . I haven't done this sort of thing for years." "And it's, the sort of thing you'll soon tire of, eh?" the farmer said. "I say it's the sort of thing you'll soon get tired of," he repeated, 'as Barry did not answer. Hazel looked at him quickly. It struck her that there was a note of underlying meaning in her uncle's voice. She turned to Barry. "Uncle Joe means that he thinks you'll find it dull here," she said. "It's not in the least dull," Barry assured her quickly. They walked back to the farm almost silently; Barry followed Hazel into the kitchen and deposited the basket of blackberries on the table. Mr. Daniels was out of earshot now. Barry looked at Hazel. , "I told you he didn't like me," he said, suddenly. Their eyes met; hers' looked somehow distressed. "Oh, I don't think so," she said quickly. Why shouldn't he like you?" Barry took a step towards her; his hand fell To hers as it lay on the table. "Do you want me "to tell you why?" he-skcd. She caught her breath. She drew a little from him. "Oh, no, no!" she said is a whisper. She tried to move her hand away, but Barry held it fast. "Hazel! His voice was not quite steady. "Hazel, will you answer me some thing? This fellow this Norman Wicklow is he. . . is he anything to you?" He was surprised at the earnest ness of his own voice surprised at the anxiety with which he waited, for her reply. So much seemed to hang on the next few moments. Mr. Daniels called irascibly trom the sitting room. "Are we going to have tea today or tomorrow?" Hazel dragged her hand Tree. "Let me go oh let me go." Barry turned away impatiently; he went back to the sitting room; he looked rather pale. Joseph Daniels glanced up at him from beneath his dark brows; the lines of his lace were rather forbid ding at that moment. Barry stood looking out ot the window; his rather lumbering 'fig ure looked dejected; when Hazel came in to lay the tea he turned and sat down straddle-wise across a chair, his arms on the wooden back, his eyes following her gloomily as she moved about the room. She made a pretty picture in her simple cotton frock, and with her little air of busy preoccupation. She did not once glance at Barry; he thought that she seemed deliberately to avoid him. He got up presently and went out to the front door; he stood leaning against the framework staring out across the garden. lie had started on this adventure without the least seriousness; he had stumbled across Hazel and Cleave Farm by the merest chance, and yet in four days the whole affair had grown by leaps and bounds to gi gantic proportions. He had stayed on at first with resentful wish to pa3' his cousin out for the lies he had told to Hazel; at the time that desire had weighed far more heavily with him than his uncle's promise of reward. But now he was staying on for himself; staying on because he knew that if he went back to London he would Open Cars - - $5250 Closed Cars - $7000 F. O. BT BUFFALO Arrow Motor Car Buffalo, N.Y.

OAy SPOILED f cr ,11 , n 7,M not know a minute's peace; that he would be thinking of Mael all the time, and wishing to be with her. Norman's father had been to con fident that he would be able to cut Norman out; Barry had never been less confident about anything in all hit life. He had failed with Agnes Dudley: was it likely, then, that he would he able to succeed with this girl? She avoided him for the rest of the evening; she went off to bed with r- casual, Good-night, Mr, Ashton," spoken across the room. Barry was pretending to read newspaper; it was a dull local pa per, all about crops and the market, and the squabbles of the vicar and his church wardens; but it served as a screen from Joe Daniel's eagle eye as Barry watched Hazel cross the narrow passage and go upstairs. She carried a caudle, and the un certain yellow light made a halo round her pretty head as she went on into the darkness. There was a sort of uncomfort- tablc . silence in the sitting room when she had gone; Mrs. Bentley went on with her sewing, and her brother shut the heavy covers of the ledger in which he had been making entries and .rose, taking his favorite stand, back to the mantel shelf. Barry put down his paper ana tried to make conversation, but it was up-hill work; the farmer only answered in monosyllables; Mrs. Bentley was too intent on the lit tle tucks she was making to pay much attention to either of the men. When the clock struck 9 Barry rose with a sigh of relief. "I think I'll turn in," he said, rather lamely. He. waited a moment. "Well, good-night," he said. The farmer grunted something In audible. Hazel's mother looked up and smiled. "Good-night, Mr. Ashton; sleep well." Barry escaped. He went' out into the kitchen and took off his boots. There was a blue pinafore of Hazel's hanging over a chairback; he stood for a moment looking down at it with rather wistful eyes. Then he shrugged his shoulders and went out of the kitchen and up to his room, each stair creaking a little beneath his weight. From the open sitting room door, the farmer watched him silently. When he was quite sure that he had gone, he looked at Hazel's mother as she sat in the lamplight, bending over her work. "Well," he said sud denly: "and what do you think of Mr. Ashton?" Mrs. Bentley looked up. "Mr. Ashton! I like him," she said de cidedly. "Oh, you like him, do you?" he said flatly. "Well, I don't, and what's more, I'm not going to have him hanging about here any longer. I dont' like him, and I don't trust him. He thinks I'm fool enough to have swallowed that little yarn about his coming here for country walks and country air; but he thinks wrong! I don't know-what brought him here, and I don t care, but I know it wasn't love of the country, and I know he's not going to stay in my house any longer. The point is, Mary, will you tell him to go, or shall I? Mrs. Bentley stared at her brother for a moment in blank amazement. "Send him awayl Tell him he must go!" she echoed at last. "Joe! You must be mad! The farmer closed the door with an irritable hand. "Not so mad, perhaps," he said, in a rather surly voice. "I never did care for this idea of yours of let ting rooms.

I gave in to you over Mr. Wicklow, but he wa different to this man. I tell you I don't trust him. Who it he, any way, I should like to know?" Mrs. Bentley flushed with annoy ance. "I really haven't asked him," she said, rather curtly. "It no business of ours where he comet from or who he is, as long at he pays for what he has." Joe Daniels glared at hit tister across the lamplight. "Can't you tee what hit little game is?" he demanded. "Can't you tell by the way he hangs around Hazel?" Mrs. Bentley's face cleared. She laughed. "Joel You tilly fellow! You're jealous, that's what it is. I know you can't bear the idea of Hazel marrying. You were just the same when Mr. Wicklow was here. You said all manner of things about him at first, and then ended up by liking him." "He was a different kind of man. Hazel would be happy with him if he ever asked her to have him, but with this Mr. Ashton, he's got half-a-dozen girls on his books, I'll war rant, if the truth is known. You're the girl's mother; you take my ad vice and get rid of him; don't have him here, you'll be sorry if you do, mark my words." Mrs. Bentley re-threaded her needle. There was a little smile in her eyes. "In some ways, Joe, you're a far seeing enough man," she said even ly, "but in others you're surprisingly dense. If you ask my opinion, I much prefer Mr. Ashton to Norman Wicklow. One's a man and the other's a dressed-up boy. Look at the colored shirts he used to wear and the fancy socks." "And so does Ashton." "I know, but there's a difference," she insisted gently. The farmer growled. "That's a woman's way of argu ing. However, I'm not going to say any more. I suppose I'm not master in my own home now, that's what it means. I suppose I've got to. stand by like a tame cat and see Hazel's heart broken by a jumped-up whipper-snapper." Mrs. Bentley raised her eyes. "It was you vho brought him here, Joe," she said. (Continued In The Beo Tomorrow.) Leaves $50,000 Eptate Columbus, Neb., July 18. (Spe cial.)

Yet again, how strange it teems that a current should pass through even a wire or that oscillating elec trical impulses can travel -through the ether and make themselves known at a receiving station without absolutely any visible connecting medium! A loose coupler consists essen tially of two coils of wire one being capable of sliding within the other. The outer or stationary coil is called the primary, and the inner or mov- able coil is called the secondary. This instrument is usually referred to as a receiving oscillation transformer. The primary coil is connected in series with the aerial and the ground. This combination is called the aerial circuit." The secondary coil is conneeted to the detector system, and if necessary to other tuning devices, such, as variometers or variable con densers. This is called the "sec ondary circuit," the "closed circuit" or the "detector circuit." Questions K. G. M., Kearney, Neb.-j-Q. I have a set consisting of a two-slide tuning coil wound with No. 24 wire; galena crystal detector and a pair of 3,000-ohm head phones. My aerial is 85 feet long and 25 feet high. I also have a fixed condenser. What else do I need to receive about 70 miles? I can hear static with what I have. V missssssi 1 BUDWEISERU f 1 Now in cartons of r XZr' .

The addition for a variable condenser and loading coil would make your set more sensitive. B. F. K., North Platte, Neb. Q. Why is it my hook-up doesn't work? My wire from the contact point to the primary coil is thicker than the primary coil windings. Does that make any difference? A. It is not because the wire is thicker. Disconnect the wire from the end of the primary winding, as this short circuits one of the switches, and your set will probably be ill right. It is quite well known that when a current of electricity is passed through a coil of wire a magnetic field of force is set up about the coil.
