Pop ular music was received with the ut most clearness and fine detail through this device. This ordinary shell, which may be found resting harmlessly on mantel pieces and drawing room tables in thousands of homes, used purely tor decorative purposes, not only greatly intensifies music and speech wnen tne tip is ground off and the hell is attached to a magnavox or receiver on a radio receiving set, but rer forms as well a most remarkable feat of bringing oue every sound to the smallest detail. . A musical instrument perfctly tunca ana played well will otter re markable music through this horn, but let the instrument be the least bit out of tune and It will at once become evident. So sensitive is this device term an analyzer by Father yacnoacn that the laintest squeak ing noise emitted from a violin as the insult of the application of too much njsin in the bow, hardly noticeable to the human ear, is neverthelss plainly brought out by the analyzer. ' A SIMPLEVERNIER. One of the most important things confronting the amateur in receiving long distance phone is the micro meter adjustment of the rheostat Anyone, howevir, having two tubes, may have his own vernier. For example, we hear a broadcast ing station, at 91 degrees on the dial of the detector rheostat we hear his C. VV. The amplifying tube gives the best amplification at 100 degrees. If the detector tube is turned back ward the least bit from 91 degrees, the phone is lost; if it is turned up the least bit toward 91 degrees, the C. W. is heard. We now know that the correct voltage of the detector tube lies between 90 and 91 degrees. Set the rheostat of the amplifying tube at 75 degrees and adjust the de tector on the verge of the C. W. If the dial on the second tube is now tnbved slowly toward 100 degrees, it will slightly decrease the current in the detector, thus making the phone audible and .giving a vernier.. If two separate filament batteries are used, this stunt will not work. Louis Falconi' of Roswell, N. M., was awarded a silver cup donated by Herbert Hoover for construction of the most efficient amateur wire less station in 1921. Falconi's sta tion has been heard in every slate of the union but Maine. 1 i Crop Conditions in North Are Reported to Be Ideal Sioux City, la., Aug. 8. Crop con ditions in northwest Iowa, northeast Nebraska and South Dakota are re garded as ideal, except in the ex treme northern part of South Da . kota, where there is still a shortage ' of moisture and crops are suffering, according to special reports to the Tribune. Threshing of . small grain is in progress in nearly all sections and fair to heavy yields of fine quality of grains are reported. Corn, alfalfa, potatoes and late pastures are doing exceptionally well since tfie general rains of 10 days ago. Disease among young pigs is tak ing a heavy toll. Marriage of Barry Wicklow By RUBY M. AYRES Copyright, 1922. Contlnu4 From TMtcrdsr.) I've enjoyed iC she answered. "It has been quite like old times." Af terwards she wondered what made her say that, seeing that all the eve ning she had felt as if she were out with stranger; just a man who looked at her with Barry Wicklow's eyes and spoke to her with Barry VVicklow's voice, and yet who was n. ...... . .it I "I suppose you won't come InV she asked hesitatingly. "Not toniaht I won't come in to night; but we shall meet again soon. 1 shall always be pleased to see you," she told him gently, though she knew as he turned awav that of all the many things she had hoped for from this evening, none ot them would ever come true. Barry was lost to her forever. She stood at the open door for some minutes looking into the dark ness where Barry had disappeared, What sort of a woman could his wife be. she asked herself, that she did not want him did not care ior him at all? Barry went straight to the club. It was a sort of obsession with him now that he must find Greaves and hear about Hazel. It was not very late yet only half-past eleven but the club was almost deserted. He wandered about aimlessly for some ime. then went out again. Nobody had seen Greaves, nobody knew where he was likely to be found. Barry went round to Delias flat. There would be nobody, there either, he knew, but he walked up and down for some time in the darkness. Every time a taxicab rounded the corner he was sure Hazel must be in it. A dozen times in his heart seem ed to stand still with apprehension, but the time dragged away and she did not come. He stopped under a lamp-post and looked at his watch; nearly one o clock. He had been waiting over an hourl He walked back again past the house. - A sleepy policeman at the corner bade him goodnight. . As he stood in the darkness staring ud at the win dows of Delia's flat a mongrel cat came and rubbed its thin body against his legs, purring rustily. Barry hated cats as a rule, but to night he stooped and stroked the poor creature's head; he was suffici ently miserable to appreciate even such humble overtures of friendship. Half-past one a quarter of two . . . two oclockl Barrv was dead tired, but he was not conscious of the fact. He meant to stay there all night till he knew that Hazel was home. His head was splitting. He took his hat off and ran his fingers through his hair. Back to the corner again. The policeman had gone and the road was very still; now and then a distant horn from a taxi broke the silence. Half-past two I Barry clenched his hands. He had been out all night himself scores of times, had gone home cheerfully with the milk and thought nothing of it, but this was different. He thought of the early hours down at Cleave farm. By ten oclock at latest everyone was in bed and asleep. He swung round once more and walked back down'the street. He would get even with Delia for this. He would take Hazel away from her by main force. He would . . A taxi turned the corner ot the street and came towards him. It 1 slowed down a little, and he heard the driver calling to his fare: "Which number did you say, Miss?" A woman's voice answered with shrill impatience: "Thirty-one I Why can't you re member?" Barry was across the road in a flash. That was Delia s voice. ihe flung open the door almost before the taxi stopped and got out. She was alone. Barry stood back in the shadows while she paid the driver. He heard her haggling about the fare and heard the impatient tap-tap of her high heeled shoe on the pavement, Then the taxi drove off and Barry stepped forward. "Where is my wife?" he asked. Delia screamed. She swung round, saw who it was, and broke out angrily: ' "What are you doinsr. hanging about here?. I m fed up with you, For heaven s sake take your wife, and leave me in peace if you can get her," she added nastily. "I don't know where she is any more than you do she went off with Greaves . , I'm not her keeper . . She tried to evade him, but Barry caught her arm and held it in a grip of steel. "Where is she? I'm not going till 1 , know and you re not going either. She stamped her foot at him. "You've no right to keep me here; how dare youl You're nothing but a great bully I No wonder Hazel's scared to death of you." "I don't want any sermons from yoi," Barry said savagely. "Tell me where she is and you can go, do you hear?" 'I don't know where she is. . She's not a child; she can look after her-self." Tve paid you to look after her," he broke out. She laughed shrilly. "A tenner a weekl Lord! If you think I'm going to waste my time hauling- Hazel at my apron strings all day for a tenner a week, you're mistaken," she told him flatly. 'I don't know where she is; she's got beyond me already." She wrenched her arm free and ran up the steps to the house. She looked back at him mockingly. "I should advise you to aoolv to Mr. Greaves for the latest information.".' "'.' ' Barry's face flamed i all the blood in his body seemed to have rushed to his head: for the moment he was blind and deaf with rage. He sprang up the steps after her and caught her by both arms. "Bv G d!" he said, hoarsely, "if you don't tell me where she is I'll kill you. I'll" bhe cowed away from him; she began to whimper. You re hurting me let me go. He relaxed his hold a little; he was breathing hard and fast. If anything has happened to her. he began., hoarsely. She looked up at him angrily, but something in the expression of his eyes checked the words she had been going" to say she snrugged her shoulders. "I don't know what you want to make all this fuss about," she said, more quietly. 'Hazel came home ages ago; she s been in bed and asleep for hours." A light over the door shone full on her face as she spoke on the hard, angry eyes and scornfully smiling mouth. Her arms were aching where he had gripped them; she would never forgive him for this. She quite re alized that he was a sufficiently strong man to spoil all her little plans, bhe made up her mind that, come what -might, she would fight him to the end. She cared nothing for him or what he wished. She hated liim because he had always been indifferent to her, She loved ' admiration and flattery, and Barry had never been more than ordinarily civil. Well, she would pay him out. Ten pounds a week -was nothing when compared with all she hoped to get out of Greaves. The knowledge made her teel almost pleasant again. If you dont believe me, you can come up and see for yourself if she is home or not," she said, more graci ously. . Well, I don t believe you, so I will," Barry answered, flatly. The lift had stopped running and they had to go up the long flights of stairs. Delia was breathless and panting; before they reached the top. She said angrily that she hated living in such a hole and that she didnt mean to stay there all her life. She unlocked the .door with her latch key and flung it open. She crossed the narrow passage and kick. ed open the door of the gaudy little drawing room. Barry had never seen her in such a temper before. He had always considered her an amiable sort of girl. He followed in silent disgust. She switched on the light and went forward; then she stopped with a short laugh. There s the sleeping beauty, she said, cynically. Barry glanced across the room; Hazel was lying on the couch with the yellow cushions, fast asleep. She still wore the frock he had seen her in that evening; the red roses were all crushed and dying; her hair was tumbled anyhow about her face. Delia looked at him mockingly. "There she is," she began. "Now are you satisfied?" She droooed her silken coat to the floor, kicking it out of her way as she passed him. and went on to -her own room. Barry heard her banging about in there, as he stood gazing down at Hazel. She looked so voung. such a child! And suddenly all the anger and bit terness he had felt against her seem ed to die from his heart. After all, It had been his fault; once she had loved turn and trusted him, would have loved him ajid trusted him still had he played the game. He glanced toward Delia's room. The door was half closed; he went a little closer to the couch where his wife lay sleeping, and, bending, kissed Her softly. She never moved; he felt warm breath against his cheek for an in Mailt; it seemed such a long, long time since he had kissed her. Then he went away and down the dark stone staircase again to the street. Delia heard him go; she came to the door of her room and listened; she had thrown off her smart frock and had got into a. loose gown. She had taken dawn her hair, and was rmoking a cigaret; when she knew Barry had gone she bolted the outer door, came back to where Hazel lay asleep and woke her with no very .gentle hand. Hazel sat up with a little frightened breath; she rubbed her eyes and stared at Delia sleepily. "What's the matter? Is anything the matter?' What time isit?" "Nothing's the matter, and it's nearly breakfast time." Delia answer ed, disagreeably. "What time did you come in? How long have you been here?" "I came straight home when we left the restaurant. My head ached." She looked away from Delia's hard 'yes. "I hate champagne" she said, netulantly. Delia said "Humphl" She sat down in an armchair' and looked at Hazel critically. What did you do with Jimmy? nhe asked. "Nothing he lust saw me home and went away." And you ve. been here ever since? "Yes. Hazel flushed uncomfort ably. "What do you mean?" she asked. Delia flung her cigaret firewards; she had hardly taken half a dozen puffs. I don t mean anything, she said. crossly. "Are you going to the of- mce in the morning t "Yes at half past ten." Hazel unfastened the dead roses n'rom her frock and looked at them rather sadly. You saw that precious husband of yours there tonight, of course," Delia said presently. "Yes." There was a little catch in Hazel's voice. After a moment. "Who was that he was with?" the asked. ' Delia was only too delighted to be able to tell her; she had heard all about Agnes Dudley from Hulbert "Its the woman he was engaged to before he knew you," she said. "Frightfully smart, wasn't she, Pots of money: they say she's paid Barry Wicklow debts half-a-dozen times." ' Hazel did not answer; did not raise her eyes. "He's jolly, soon consoled him self," Delia said again viciously. "You take my advice and do the same thing, my dear." . Hazel forced a smile to her lips. "Barry is quite welcome to do what he likes," she said. "I suppose you didn't speak to him tonight?" "Speak to him 1" Delia shrilled. "Is it likely? Blest your heart and soul, he was far too much taken up with Mrs. Dudley to look at me." She yawned, stretching her arms languidly over her head. "I should cut him out once and for all, if I were you," she said. "Come on I'm going to bed." (Continued la Tha Dm Tomorrow.) The average motor truck driver imagines he is operating a fire engine.
