really believed in her power? Mie
had lot every ihred of confidence
in herelf: he found hertelf doubt
Kg and dbelcvng at every turn.
There wat only one soul fit the
world" whp toved her devotedly, tin
elf ikhly Koyiton. During -tbit
tragic moment when they looked
across the crowded room into each
other'i eye. Elizabeth had teen the
unutterable love and longing of hi
soul laid bare.
He wauted her ai lie wanted him;
for him, too, life had lot all its
swtetnr.s brcamc they could not be
together; oh, surely, then, it wat a
mere foolish scruple that kept them
pan?
Elizabeth had reached the break
ing point, and she knew it: there wat
a tragic desperation about her when
presently she rote and began tearing
off the white frock with reckless fin
gers, ft fell to the floor, ruined and
torn, but she did not care. She threw
it aside as tonight she felt she had
thrown all her lite with Mme. Sencs
tis. She dressed hurriedly in her plain
est rlothes: she stole out on to the
landing and looked at a clock there.
Ten minutes to 12! Somehow she
had thought it must be much later;
it seemed a lifetime since she had
left the house with Frmer and Mme.
Senrtis.
If it had been hours later she would
not have cared; she was worked up
to such a pitch of desperation that
time was of no account. With her
shoes in her hand she stole down
stairs. In one of the rooms she could
hear madame and the" old French
housekeeper chattering together in
their own tongue; chattering of her,
she was sure, as she stole across the
hall and drew back the latch of the
front door.
It was a warm, moonlit night and
the pavemerttl were dry. Elizabeth
ran a few steps before she stopped
breathlessly to put on her shoes.
Since madame's cruelly intended;
words she seemed to have seen Neil
Farmer in a new light; something In
her heart told her that she would be
forced to marry him, that nothing,
could save her, unless Royston would
lake her into his life.
She was going to him, that was all
she knew.. She never stopped to
think. ....
He was in London and no doubt
back to his old rooms. Her racing
heartbeats seemed to choke her as
she bent and fumbled with the laces
ei her shoes. Me heard a slow step
pacing up and down the road, close
by. it seemed, and she tied the laces
anyhow into tiunuy knots a the
step drew nearer.
Looking back over her ihouluVr,
she saw a man deliberately coming
toward Iter at an increasing speed
Mie turned and started to run arros
i he mad when he ioke her name
She atopped then with liltle ilioK
in cry.
"t.luabeth. there are vou going!
t aw you come out of the liou.e.
I've been walking up and down ever
kime mce r suiter bought vou
home. I.haurih!'
Elisabeth stood very still, her
breath coming fat in uneven gasps,
her hands hanging limp at ner side,
a she looked up through the moon
light into Koytton a haggard face.
A lire at peace seemed to have
fallen on hrr heart; she was with him
again; she had but to stretch out her
hand to touch him. A wavering smile
of infinite sweetness lit her eyes and
there was note of quiet confidence
in her voice as she answered him, as
if it were the most natural thing in
the world:
l was coming to you.
"Coming to me?" Royston echoed
riizabeth's words with infinite ten
derness, and then for a moment
neither of them spoke.
In the distance a church clock
chimed midnight, and Royston rou-cd
himself with an ertort to say: ou
must go in; you must be worn out;
you mut go in, t.lizabctn.
The pale moonlight showed him
the sudden blenching of her face and
the trembling of her lips as she an
swered him:
"I can't go back there; madame is
so angry with me. She would have
turned me out tonight but for Mr.
Farmer."
"Farmer!" Try as he would Roy
ston could not keep tlfe bitter jeal
ousy from his voice.
Elizabeth hardly heard. She went
on eagerly: "He made her keep mc;
I don't know what he said at least
" And now she faltered. Some
how it seemed impossible to tell this
man that Mme. Scnesti had only
consented to let her stay in the house
until she married Neil Farmer.
She looked up at him with an an
guish of dread in her eyes.
"Oh, you're not you're not going
to send me away again," she broke
out passionately. "What does any
one matter except just our two

Noises in Radio
Sets Eliminated
Army Wirelem Expert Per
feet Invention That Sepa
rate! Static Sound
From Signal.
By lk A Maria U4 frM.
Chicago, May 17. Elimination of
the crackling and buzzing accom
panymg radio signals which have
proved the greatet obstacle in the
development of wireless communica
lion has been accomplished by army
experts, it was announced here to
day, me invention, which separates
all static noises from the radio signal,
was perfected by Major J. O. Mau
borgne, signal officer of the sixth
corps area, and Dr. Louis 'Cohen of
George Washington university, con
suiting engineer of the War depart
ment, after more than two years' ex
perimentation.
The separation of sicnal from
static noises caused by the electrical
charges m the atmosphere is acconv
lilied by a drain coil of wire, the
length of which varies with the dis
tance from which signals are re
ceived The strength of the signal is
not affected bv the draining process.
according to Dr. Cohen, and the sig
nals may even be amplified.
Use Light Socket.
Another invention announced in
connection with the elimination of
disturbing noises, was a resonance
wave coil by which a radio receiving
set may be plugged into an ordinary
electric light socket and radio signals
received as well as with an aerial.
This invention, on which a dozen
patents are now pending, was per
fected by Major General George O.
Squire, chief signal officer of the
army.
A similar invention was announced
here bv B. F. Miesner several days
ago. Miesner, who was a government
expert during the war, said his work
had been entirely separate from the
government investigations.
The draining coil was hooked up
for the first time yesterday with
Maj. Gen. Squire's device and found
to work perfectly, Dr. Cohen said.
Signals were picked up, with perfect
clarity, while static conditions were
especially bad.
The c lec trie power method of
transmUiion hold tremendous com
mercial possibilities, according to Dr.
Cohen, who said that power com
panies had been co-operating In the
experimental work,'
Little Change In Seta.
"F.liminaiing static noises has teen
one of the most serious problem in
radio development, said Dr. Cohen
today. "Due to the electrical
charges in the atmosphere, especially
in summer, even the largest stations
must shut down at times. The de
vice perfected by Maj. Mauborgne
and Miesner parallels the static
noises, grounds the noise and leave
the signal clear and distinct."
Mai. Mauborgne explained that
radio signals received by the electric !
power line method could be cleared
of noises also, a proved in experi
ments yesterday. Such signals may
be received Ironi a broadcasting sta
tion lending by the usual aerial.
irom which the waves hit exposed
electric wire over the city and
thence travel over the wire to the
receiving set. or could be received
from a station also using the power
line instead ot an aerial. I he only
additional equipment needed for
power line receiving is a set of con
densers which cost less than a dollar,
Maj. Mauborgne said.
