The time had come all day she had 'told herself that For weeks she bad fought, prated, hoped against this hour, but she had been a fool. She might have known how it would all end. She had known, but the faith In her heart bad been so great Over by the fireplace Nathan Nichols stirred restlessly In his chair. Did Tommy git evrythin done you need, mother? he queried anxiously.

Nathan, she said, unsteadily, you are th best man in all th world ! Now Im goin out t make you some flap-jacfor supper." Mechanically mother Nichols set about preparing the humble meal. Like a garment the brave courage and hope she had flaunted to father slipped from her, leaving her crushed and broken. Tonight she had reached the end of her resources and her faith. The time had come. Tomorrow, because they must have money at once, she must submit to the galling , burden. "Tommys a good lad, muttered the Mortgage I It semed the only way '. e. old man. His wife was silent. Not for worlds would she have told him that her hands, not the neighboring Tommys, had performed the round of nightly chores.

Never bad she questioned the wisdom of the hand that had taken away her treasures, but there were times when, like Nathan, she pondered the why. Even one would hev been such a . comfort, Nathans voice quavered on. A sort o prop t lean on now when we aint got nothin." His wife turned at that her brave spirit rising to meet his need.

He, himself, had never approved of the Bailey children separating their father and mother, even if they did pervide well for them. You cant deceive me, Mary, he said presently.

Yes, khf had lost faith in Dick! convinced i i ! out. She could raise money on the house to tide them along for a spell; after that well, after that she would not think. Reluctantly she made her plans. She would go to Seth Brown tomorrow and borrow the money. She had rather go to Seth than anyone else because he wouldnt ask her embarrassing questions and she could pledge him to secrecy. Father, poor blind old father, must never know the bitter truth. Her mind made up she put the matter resolutely from her. Tonight, this last night In their little debt-fre- e house, she would be happy with Nathan. So the little supper was a cheerful one. Mother Nichols laughed and chatted q as she cut up the golden brown for Nathan, who, under the spell of her voice and touch, was coming out of his dark mood. Outside the storm raged, but the old couple paid no heed. Absorbed with their yesterdays, the outside world was forgotten; even the evening train shrieked past unnoticed, as father tjld again how he had won out against Abe Spaulding for mothers hand. But I dunno, Mary, he concluded better t bitterly, "but youd hev married Abe " "Abe Spaulding! scoffed mother.

Chouan Chouans was the name given to bands of Brittany peasants who espoused the royal cause during the French revolution, and organized a reactionary movement in 1792. Their first leader, Jean Cottereau, was killed in 1794. Later the insurrection, undfer Cadoudal and Charette, assumed vast proportions, and for a time imperiled the safety of the French republic. It was, however, stamped out by La Hoche. and Its leaders forced to lay down their arms.

A phonograph record and market reports could be heard at least 100 feet away. The screen was connected with the recelvei; only by bending a wire and hooking It through the mesh. No solder was used. The screen was located about 20 Inches from the ground on a porch on the west side of a three-storh An Excellent and Exceedingly Simple Crystal Detector. the swivel and cup cannot be given; however, the correct space is easily ascertained and should be marked on the base for drilling. Hardwood, fiber, bakellte, rubber or other good Insulating material can be used for the base, the size of which will depend npon the type of compass employed. Secure a heavy piece and after the stand is assembled It would be well to glue a thick layer of soft felt to the under surface. The felt will serve the dual purpose of preventing harm to polished tables and will allow the absorption of slight shocks and jars. A piece f old storage battery can be used for the base after shining It up-- " To assemble the Instrument, It Is necessary to drill two holes at one end for binding posts and two holes for th detector cup and adjusting arm. Use a good grade of wire for connections and be sure that all points are soldered. For a No. 28 bare copper the wire will give as good results as any. In actual use, the end of the wire touching the mineral should always be well-insulat- clean. If it appears as though the sensitivity of the mineral has faded, a new surface may be scratched with a knife. Either unmounted or mounted crystals give satisfaction with this stand. In general, keep the mineral as small as possible, to allow only a short separation between the point of contact and the holder.

The Rubberized Panel , Gives Satisfaction A great many fans who make their own sets and cannot afford to nse bakellte may be glad to know that they may use wood and that their panels will give satisfaction. Break two or three old phonograph records into small pieces, place them in a tin can and add one-hapint of denatured alcohol. Allow this to stand until dissolved, a day or two. When dissolved apply with a thoroughly brush. This will give a very glossy finish when shellacked.

Great Opportunity for the Radio Genius The crystal set employs natures own means of rectification. Were It not for the absence of a means of amplification the results obtained from this set would excel. Compared to the volume obtained through the vacuum tube, however, the work of the crystal Is disappointing and no way has yet been found to Increase the volume. Reception through the crystal from distances up to 25 miles Is marvelous in Its beauty, but in the great majority of cases the owner of a set prefers quantity to quality and often noise to harmony. A great opportunity presents Itself to the radio experimenter to add amplification to the crystal without destroying the beanty of Its reception. Who will accomplish this?
