Dancing as the
By BEATRICM FAIRFAX.
- -
Recently a young man who found him
self worn out from tho exacting work of
being secretary to a big ' corporation,
went to one of New York's cleverest spe
cialists to be, as he put It, "built up."
The doctor looked the young businesa
man over thoroughly and announced
that he was suffering from nothlna; In
the world but lack of exercise. , "You
need at least three hours of strenuous
exercise a day," said he. ' ,
"Rut doctor, how am I going to get
three hours' exerrleeT ly work keepa
me at my desk from 0 until 6:30, with a
nosnlule hour out for lunch. Precious
little, chance for fresh air In this elx-day-a-week
schedule."
"I'm - not Insist In on sunshine and
fresh air." repltod the physician. '1 told
you to exrerlw. Do It at night. Do It In
an attractive environment with , muaio
and laughter and pleasant companions
to apur you on. 'Dance."
And this great specialist advocated a
course which la .coming more and more
to be respected by physicians and ley-
men. Dance. There la no more healthful,
stimulating and altogether pleasant exer
cise In all the Hat of body builders.
Have you never, wondered why the
dancing eras swept the country so
broadly and gathered In cltiaens from 1?
to 70?
The best way to figure the . thing out
la to dance a full four-minute phono
graph record to the steps of the old
faahloned waits or two-ate p. Repeat the
same step over and over with no change
In tempo or accent for four minutes. At
the end of that time you have had a
period of strenuous exercise, and unless
you are young and In the prime of con
dition, you. are likely to be red-faced,
panting, exceaalvcly warm and much too
worn out to look forward to the next
waits or two-atep with any enthusiasm.
Here la the answer as to why the danc
ing of our early youth was never as to9
ular as that of (the present decade. The
waits atid two-atep were "too much like
work" to become popular for parents and
grandparents, as wll as lusty young
children. They were good exercise. but
you oouldn't use them to put yourself
In condition: you had to be In condition
before you could venture Into these over-
strenuous whlrfa.
The danelng of the present day permits
combinations ot steps, changes of posl
tions, variations from half time to double
quick, alldea and walks whloh cojubln

CHAPTER I.
Draped as the Spirit of the Marsii,
the beautiful little, runaway bride stood,
dascd and trembling, on the sidewalk in
front of the studio from which she had
been driven. -At the curb stood a limou
sine with Its black silk curtains drawn.
The white mouatached man, who had
sprung from it, grasped the lovely model
by the wrist and drew. her to the car as
the dark, handsome, black Vandyked man
who had followed covered her gauzlly
ciad form with the voluminous black
cloak which he carried.
Down the street at a tearing- pace came
(he' family car of the runaway bride's
father and mother, and In It with them
were , two of her '. frleatds .'and -the de
serted groom, his teeth gritting and his
fists clinched as he saw these two scoun
drels bundle his pretty June Into the car
and hurry In after her.
Just beMlnd the family came an elec
tric coupe, driven by a- sharp featured
woman with a long nose and high arched
brows, and, a's she saw this bold ab
duction she shrieked and ran Wr. car
into the curb. As the door of the lux

We are going te know some day pre

enabled to. keep in touch with the sup

it they possessed a sixth sense, which
enabled them to se through the solid

And when thee secrets are thrown open
the art et wireless telegraphy will prob
ably b put on a new footing.
In th meantime- the scientific experi
menters art turning their attention to
a more profound study of the whys and
wherefores ot radio-telegraphy, and to
consideration of the many mysteries
which It still offers for solution. For
man has never had to deal with a ser
vant so capricious, so many-faced, so
taciturn, so humorsome snd yet, at times,
so astonishingly obedient and magically
efficient as this one.
Dr. J. A. Fleming, talking to the mem
bers of the Wlrelees society of London, 1
recently pointed out some of the Strang
things about radio-telegraphy that can, ;
as yet. be only theoretically explained. !
Just at the moment whenthe War broke!
out an attempt was being made to find
th reason for th remarkable variations
ia the strength ot the signal received
In England from the Eiffel Tower of'
Paris. The conclusion of this, research
na ham to be postponed. One of the
things that has been learned Is that when
a radio-telegraphic wave paasea over thwJ
!u 11 i.t uniaira a, certain oisianc into
it. and loses amplitude through the ab
sorption of wave energy by the soil. In
passing over th sea the penetration It
much leaa. Thua, acoordlng to the best
information now at hand, the penetration
ot radio-wave l.Ou) metres long into
sea-water la onlv about an rn.tr. it
feet), while In ordinary dry soil the peno!
trtUlon amounts to from 100 to several
hundred metres.
One of the curious facts which has be
come popularly known wtthfn a year or
so is that signal coming from- long-ils-tanc
wireless stations can be picked up
by amateurs without th us of any
hlgh-twung receiving wire, but by simply
connecting one end of tbe receiver
to tbe earth and the other end to any
insulated pier of metal, which may just
as well be maid a houa aa out of door.
An explanation of thla may be found.
Dr. Fleming thinks, in th discovery
that when a Hers oscila'tor, generat
ing radio waves, has one-half connected
to earth. It gives rts not only te what
are (tilled "space . wavea," which pasa
through the air and earth and convey to
corner of the studio came bounding l
handsome collie, which ran to the ceT,
loudly barking. A woman with high
cheek bones and accompanied by a tall
policeman followed the dog. She dashed
up to the limousine as It started and,
jumped upon the running board, while
the dog barked and leaped.
From a doorway on the opposite side
of the street there sprang a short, wide
man with a thick stub of a cigar In
his mouth, who pursued the limousine,
hopped upon the spare tires at the back
of the car and hung there. The woman
on the runnlngboard opened the door of
the limousine and forced her way In as
Ihey dashed around the corner, furiously
pursued by the family car, the electric
coupe and the barking collie.
The luxurious limousine was speedier
than its pursuers, but not speedy enough
entirely to lose the family car with, the
deserted groom. It had gained several
blocks headway, however, when It turned
a corner and stopped abruptly In front
of a house whero a vivacious brunnette
and a -large-blond woman stood peering1
eagerly out of the window. Only for an
Instant it paused. The door opened. Out
of It sprang the white mustached, man
and drew1 after htm the half fainting girl
In the voluminous black cloak. He put
his arm around her and hurriedly forced
her up the steps. The woman with the
high cheek bones darted after her. Phe
hesitated a moment and vaguely recog-.
nlsed the cloak; then she sprang after '
the beautiful young girl. '
The man with the black Vandyke caught
her by the arm snd held tier back. He
spoke' sharply to the driver, 'and the
limousine jerked forward ' Just as the
door of the house opened and the beauti
ful girl was thrust Inside.
.The thick, wide man on' behind strug
gled to get down from his uncomfortable
position, (but his cravat waa caught In
the strap of the tire covers, and so the '
well known and justly - famous private
detective, BUI Wolf, stooped over the
tires, with' his wide feet In the rack and
hia arms around the rims and his head
held down, was carried swiftly away
from the acene of his sleuthing.
tTo Be Continued Tomorrow.)
regular messages, but also to a surface
wsve, which consists of longitudinal elec-
trio currents' flowing upon the earth's
surface. This wave,-he thinks, may i be -the
source of the signals that can be
picked up by extremely simple Instru
ments placed near the around'.
, Where the war suddenly put a tem
porary end to tkeir larger investigations,
the experimenters were dealing with an
other curious fact, vis., that the nature
of the soil between the transmitting and
receiving stations has much to do with
the' strength of the "signals. And, not
only so, but the length of the waves '
caused a Variation In the effects produced ,
by the soil. There are places where
waves of certain lengths can hardly b
forced to pass. V
Thus, the ground north and northeast
,of Newport, R. I., possesses a remark
able absorbing power for radio Wavfca
of a taousand metres length, which
lose 25 per cent of their energy In passing
over a distance of forty-five miles, while
waves 3,760 metres long pass over the
same ground without difficulty and with
only about the normal amount of absorp
tion. Some day, when radio-telegraphy has
become the universal method of Inter
communication at a distance the world
may have to be mapped electrically, so
that charts will show where
can- go esslly and where only
mestajres
with dlf- ,
leaves are
n districts
ftculty, and what particular waves
needed for passing over certain
or countries.
