She turned to her visitor. "What doea this madman roeanr she demanded. "Who Is this prisoner whose freedom you seek?" "I do not know," Gerald replied. "I am only an emissary." apparently with leas esse than Eng-lish. ' r "This gentleman," she declared, "has a great affair of bualnesa to discuss with you. He waa aent here by a friend of mine whose name I may not give. He Is an Englishman pretending to be an American, but that makes for little, tie Is entrusted with a great sum of money for a certain purpose." Into the governor's eyes flashed for a moment some reflection of the cupid-ity which had gleamed In the woman's. Money waa scarce In Russia; pay was small and Irregular In coming. The thought of money whetted his Interest "Let me hear what thia gentleman aaa to say," he Invited. 1 huve come with a very bold prop-osition," Gerald bean. "but It la one which I hope you will consider care-fully. Tou have many prisoners in your fortress who are detained largely through misfortune. There are many there whose offenses are trivial, who will probably be released shortly In any case, and who might just aa well be free as remain a churge upon the government." , "You aeem to know a great deal ; CHAPTER IV Continued "Then thousand pounds?" she almost shrieked.

"yon could have Krossneys as well, for ' a quarter of thst. Talk sense, please I There Is not an englishman there Of , , that I am certain." "The prisoner whose liberty I de--' aire to buy," Gerald confided. "Is a Russian.

Then she took np a battered telephone Instrument f "1 will speak with the major." she - s.ild. "I am the only civilian in the town with a telephone It Is a great ' favor. Ton can , wait whilst I speak with blm." There waa a good deal of delay be-fore she was connected, and a further . delay before the person with whom she desired to speak arrived. In time, .,: however, the conversation was finished, . apparently to her ui (Infliction. She set down the Instrument .. about my prisoners," the governor re-marked graciously, "Many of them are criminals of the worst order." "It la not one of these whom I wish to discuss with you," Gerald assured him. "It happens that you have a young man there who Is not of the criminal class at all. He has very wealthy friends." ;" : "Ha I" the governor exclaimed. "How wealthyr The woman broke Into the conversa-tion. She gripped her friend by the " srm. "Ivan," she cried. "It Is Incredible! Do you know the sum which monsieur speaks of? It takes one's breath The governor aat up In his chair. "I will tell you." he declared hoarse-ly. "Number twenty-nin- e Is all the fortress records aay of him, but bis name Is Paul, grand duke of Volostok, prince of Tamboff, hereditary grand duke and ruler of all the provinces of the Dvlna, nephew of Nicholas, the late tsar, head of the bouse of Ro-manoff himself. If the people cbsnged their fancy tomorrow, tsar of all the Russlaal There, my woman, now you know the secret of my fortress I Tou can guess where we might be If I traded with this lunatic !" The woman flopped upon the sofa. She was pale through all her rouge and powder. Her yellow hair had broken loose from Its band of ribbon. Her dressing gown had fallen away a little from her ample bust. She sot breathing heavily for several moments. Gerald, Of the three, was the only one who kept his head. "All that makes for nothing," he said calmly. "You excite yourself greatly for nothing. : The Romanoff dynasty la past. There will never be another taar In Russia. Thla young man has rich friends and they want him out of the country. I should think your government would be glad to be rid of him." Gerald's words were not without their effect especially upon the woman. t . "After all," she muttered, "this mah speaks sense. Who cares about grand dukes, nowadays? There are plenty of them who have already escaped. What does one more or less matter? "But this one I have told yon who be isl" the man growled. The woman waa beginning to pluck up spirit She scoffed at him openly. "When the people of Russia want, the days of tsardom back again," sha said, "they will find one of the brood fast enough. But that day will not come yet This young man In your fortress is of no account Tou are a fool, Ivan. Tou cannot see the truth, Tou have not thought to yourself what ten thousand pounds may mean." Krossneys sat back in his chair, bit-In- g his finger nails. i "Who are you?" he demanded sud-denly. "And where doea thla money come from?" .' ; - ..:. "My name Is Dombey,1' Gerald re-plied. "I have admitted to Madame Francks that I am an Englishman. This money has been collected In London by friends and relatives of the young man. The desire for his release has not the slightest political slgnln-cance.- "And what the devil excuse can I make for letting him go?" "I should put one of your less Im-portant prisoners Into Ills cell and say nothing about It," Gerald suggested. "The governor Is on his wsy down," ' she snnounced triumphantly. "Come, ' wo will see to this little affair quickly. : Tou can remain." The maid entered the room, carry-ing a tray on which were bottles of ' beer and glasses. Tbe woman eyed them with satisfaction. r ' "Ton are not Russian," she said, "so X do not offer yon the samovar. Beer very one drinks the English es-pecially. That Is so, Is It not?" "That la so." Gerald admitted. "I hall drink to your good health, ' toadame." "Tou may call me Elsa," she Invited graciously, coming over to his side with a glass In her hand. "We will - drink lo the success of our enterprise." Gerald accepted the glass and ex-changed courteous amenities with his hostesa. She eyed blm with growing favor. "It Is a pity that you are not staying longer," shs observed. "We might be-come friends, ytio knows?" "In that case." Gerald replied gal-lantly, "I might have to quarrel with Major Krossneys, and that would not do at all." She snapped her pudgy Angers. A man who had ten thousand pounds to dispose of! What was Knssneysl "Do you think," she scoffed, "that I ahall stay here with him If I can get hold of half that sum you spoke of? Not I! I shall choose a different com- -' panlon. I shall go to Monte Carlo. I hall never enter this accursed country again. Even to think of leaving It ;.' makes me giddy with happiness. It will be you who will be my deliverer. Let us drink again together." "PerliEps," Gerald suggested, "the governor will not give up his prisoner." Her exclamation of contempt was ;; almost a shout. The very Idea, while she scouted It as ridiculous, seemed to s Infuriate her. "Give him up? Of course he will ; give him up 1" she declared. ' "If he re-- f fused why, I would take him by the bea d I would kill him!" Hr eyes were lit with cruelty. The snarl of an animal of prey twisted her lips. Then she burst into a Gt of laughter. , ,,. - .r. . s . . , "Why dp 1 muke,myse,lf furious?" ;, - she exclaimed. "Why, Ivan would sell every one of his hundred and thirty-seve- n prisoners for a tenth part of the :' money you sneak "of! Come1, let us be gay.-- ; : will put something on the gramophone.

"G dl" Krossneys muttered. "A prisoner of mine?" . "A prisoner of yours," Gerald re-peated. "I will be quite frank with you, sir. I speak, I know, to a man of honor, but I will ask yim to remember that this young man Is unconvicted of any crime,' and "that the 'government by whom he was sent to you Is totteri-ng. ' Tills Is not a bribe which I am offering you. It Is the price of an act of justice. . The money Is to be paid in cash." ' ' , "There is an Inspector of state prison's," Krossneys muttered. "He does not often come, but who knows when he might take It Into his head to pay us a v!slt?' . "The lust time he was here," Elsa Francks reminded hlra, "you met him at the station and took him to the hotel. Afterward, you brought him on here and lie was so drunk that he had to stay for two days. He did not even go near the fortress. Your pa-pers and books were brought down here for him to sign." i "It la true," Krossneys assented, "yet next time another man might come. And dsn In, how will this num-ber twenty-nin- e get safely out of Rus-sia?" , '. Think less of these difficulties and more of what one could do with tea thousand pounds." the woman Insisted. "You are not asked, Ivsn, to run a risk for nothing. I say that It If worth It", .,j -- . ..."' n : (TO BE.CONTWUKD.) Krossneys was showing now as much agitation as the woman had displayed. Mingled with his emotion, however, was a fear, signs of which were at once manifested In tbe anxiety which distorted his face, the eagerness of his demnnd. " .' "The number?" he cried. ! "Tell me the Dame nr. the number of the pris-oner you desire J": -- "Number twenty-nine,- " Gerald re-plied. The governor struck the table with his clenched fist, so that the glasses rattled. "A million devils curse and blust you both !" he shouted. He kicked a footstool which was close lit hand across the room. Then he flung himself into an easy-cha- ir and sat there with his arms crossed, glow-ering at Klsa. The woman gazed at him as though he had suddenly gone mad. "Are you out of your'senses, Ivsn?" she osked. "Twenty-nin- e or thirty-nin- e what does It matter? Is not one prisoner like another? Who comes to visit them? Who knows which cell Is empty? Bah!" .. v "So you thought you were rich for life, did yon, Elsa?" the man In tbe chair nattered. "Well, yon ran just rid yourself of the Ides. And ss for "What about his excellency the gov-- ; ernorf Gerald asked. .. . .. The woman made a little grimace. "You1 are perhaps right," she ac-quiesced. "One must wait wait until everything Is arranged. After that I ' ' shall snap my lingers at Ivan. He - wearies me, and be Is an old man, Will you take me out of the country, my friend? We. might to go Into Po land I bsve friends at Warsaw." There were heavy steps outside. She -, held up her hand as though to warn him. "It Is the governor," she announced. "It Is Ivan Krossneys who arrives. Mind, he ts very Jealous. Be careful." Gerald, with all his nerves on edge, was yet able to Indulge for a moment In a grim smile. The door was opened. The maid poked her head In and mut- -' tered something unintelligible. Close behind her entered the governor of the fortress. i ' The governor was a large, corpulent, untidy-lookin- g man In an uni-form, with coarse features and a strag-- ' ftlAf beard. He clicked his heels to-gether and made some- pretense at a '' , military salute, a. Elsa Introduced her visitor. Shs whispered s word or two art with him la Hnsslan, snd then essttlaued la French, which she spoke I Humble Socket Is Important to Set Attachment Should Be Made of Beat Material Contact Springs. The humble socket, used to hold the tacuum tube and to provide the means of making an electrical contact be-tween the prongs of the tube and the rest of tlie circuit, receives leu atten-tion from the radio fan than It should. The socket should be carefully scrutinised, for It Is st tills point that the plate and grid wires and filament leads come very close to each other. If the socket Is made of poor Insulat-ing materlul these currents will leak across the base between the binding posts, and become lost The volume and distance of the receiver will suffer. Nothing less than bakellte should be used. Do not accept socket made of ma-terial that can be easily cut with a knife, or will leave a black mark when rubbed across a piece of white paper. Material that will do this haa lamp-black In It, which Is s very poor In-sulating substance. As a rule thla class of material will melt under the heat of a soldering Iron. Of next Importance are the contact springs. Poor contact springs cause a great deal of the noise that la attrib-uted to static. Due to the short dis-tance available on the inside of a socket, and the need for keeping the dimensions of the socket as small as possible, the contact spring roust neces-sarily be short. - Due to the shortness of the spring, most of the sockets at present are unsatisfactory, because the springs become permanently bent This requires frequent bending back Into their former position so that a good contact enn be obtained with the prongs of the tube. One manufacturer has solved this problem by miking the spring longer, then bending the tip of the . spring backwards and upwards. This elimi-nates the short leverage on the spring, allowing It lo bend In two places. Springs are made of phosphor bronze and always Iteep a firm upward pres-sure against the tube prong. The socket should also be non-micr- o phonic- In arecelver which uses ordi-nary sockets, a loud ring will be heard whenever the set Is jarred. Often re- - New Type of 8ocket Which Overcomes Difficulty. moving the hand from the tuner dial will be sufficient to cause the tubes to set up this ring. This Is caused by the elements of the tubes vibrating. To cure this, many set builders fasten their sockets on soft rubber sponges to absorb vibration. The chief objection to tide method Is that if you use screws to hold the socket down to the baseboard, or use bus bar wiring to the binding posts, the socket Is me-chanically connected to the baseboard, and the rubber support does not help a great deal In reducing noises. A new type of socket lias appeared on the market, which overcomes thla difficulty. The socket is made of two pieces of molded bakellte. On one piece Is mounted the binding posts and a pad. of soft spongy rubber Is glued on In the center. The shell of the socket contains the contuct springs and this Is glued to the top of the rub-ber pad. Connections are made from the binding posts to the contuct springs by flexihfe stranded wire leads under-neath the shell of the bose. These wire leads are "dead" as far as vibrations are concerned,- and the tube Is there-fore completely floated. The socket can be mounted directly on the back of the panel or on the baseboard. The. soft rubber pad allows for the absorption of side Jars as well as those In a vertical direction. . ; Much Cool in Old Canal The Morris canal In New Jersey, abandoned for years and now drained, has turned out to be a veritable coal mine.

Poor Connections in Jacks Cause Trouble Sometimes a set will cease function-ing or will function poorly on the last stage of y amplification. This Is almost always due to' a poor connection In the jack that precedea the last stage-- ' or In one of the" pre-ceding jacks in other stagea. - If you have this trouble, look In be-tween tbe small silver contacts in the jacks and notlee whether or not they close properly when the plug is with-drawn from them. Sometimes, the springs weaken and do not allow them to close as they should. The remedy Is to take out the jack tand bend the offending spring back into position, and then to replace the Jack. Early Navigator $ Dared Perils of Every Sort It Is s little more than 400 years ago since mun made bis first-know- n trip around the globe. The first voyage took three years, and they were years of great privation and discomfort. The early successful navl) ator was J. 8. del Cano, a Spaniard. He returned to port on September 6, 1522. The expe-dition numbered five vessels, snd of the 280 pioneers who set sail only 81 returned rugged and broken.
