Show THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH Circumstantial Evidence By W. IRVING KING (9 by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Charlotte Crawford was the daughter and only child of Squire Crawford, president of the local bank at Mason-jnll-e She was pretty enough to be the heroine of any story and just as Sweet and good as she was pretty. Moreover she was in love with Addison Douglas, although she had known him only six months. It seemed to her, and It seemed to Addison, as if they had always known each ether. "Addison, said Charlotte one night, I do wish you would trust me a little more. If you love me as you say you do, why will you not tell me why you came to' Masonvllle. Of course, I know that you are not my cousin father admitted that but what Is It that you are concealing from me? Ohariotte, dear, replied Addison, "for just a little while longer I must ask you to trust me. I cant tell you all just now. said "But you dont trust me, Charlotte. Addison sighed. I cant explain, he said, "but will you trust me just a little longer? How "Yes, dear, said Charlotte. And that little matcan I help If? ter was settled for the time being. We change the scene: It was a dark, rainy night as the enforcement officers waited Impatiently for the boat which was to attempt to land a cargo of Illicit .booze at the end of the old road which led down to the d wharf. There she comes, said one of the officers and the sound of a motorboat was heard out on the black rain-swewater, approaching with all her lights out. t Weve got 'em, chuckled one of the watchers. But' even as he spoke from neighboring headland a rocket shot up into the black sky and the sounds of thfr motorboat began to t recede. Theyre on, cried the.chief of the party: "weve been double-crosseInto a Into the launch, be lively. launch which had lain hidden In a neighboring creek for just such an emergency, the men tumbled and the chase was on. Out into the bay and then up a, long, narrow arm which penetrated far into the land they followed the steering by the sound of her engine in the dense darkness and rain it was impossible to see the object of their pursuit. Soon after entering the arm of the bay they lost the sound of the motorboats engines. They stopped and listened Intently. Several little creeks branched off between heavily wooded banks. J I hear em ! cried the' chief at last. And up "Here, give me that wheel. one-o- f the dark, narrow waterways they sped. Presently close aboard, they made out the bulk of the rumHands up, weve got running boat you, cried the chief, as he and his men leaped ashore. But the only reply was the sound of a motor truck being madly driven away Into the night. The rum runners had worked quickly in transferring their cargo and themselves. The motorboat was practically empty. So the, escaped and Addison Douglas was seen entering the house of the Widow Leeds, where he boarded, at five o'clock that morning with a heavy and bundle under his suspicious-lookin- g arm. Georgiana Macombe, who went out nursing and was returning from an vigil, saw him.' Whpn later In the day all Mason-vill- e was talking of the how quickly such episode-curio- us mntters get abroad In seaside towns Georgiana contributed to the general gossip her early morning discovery. Within an hour Addison had been convicted at the bar of public opinion as and a bootlegger. a He was a bright, handsome young man, but that did not help blm. He bod appeared in Masonvllle just after he counterfeiting gang had been rounded up, at the old Philips place, three miles away In the woods, and been introduced by Squire Crawford as his nephew come to a quiet place to recover his health. Though old Ezikel Holliman, who knew everybody and everj thing, declared that it was the fust time he ever heard of the squire having a nephew, and as to' health Addison did not look as If he needed much doctoring. Now all was explained. The only question - Was whether Squire Crawford had been Imposed upon or had succumbed to the lure of the rumrunners tremendous profits.

His passage caused a sensation. A small crowd gathered behind him and saw blm enter the bunk and disappear into Squire Crawfo-d- s private office. "Get It? asked the squire. Yes. replied Addi'on. "Here it is. The squire took the bundle and locked it up In the safe. Then, cbuck- - ling with unholy glee, he told Addison of the excitement in the village. The young man laughed heaillly, but suddenly becoming serious said, "By George! this wont do. I must go and explain to Charlotte. Those gossips will have been at her before this and the poor girl will be in a dickens of a state. She promised to trust me, it is true, but I had better go right off and explain things. The circumstantial evidence Is sure against us, squire. And be hurried away to the Crawford home. Georgians and the Widow Leeds had been before him. And had been shown the door by Charlotte. But not before they had unburdened their minds. Oh, said Charlotte, Addison, what does all this mean? He saw that she had been crying. Charlotte, dear, he replied, did you not say you would trust me? Yes, and now that you are here, I do. But for a while they had so many things which pointed to oh, Addison,, for a while. Is It too soon to ask you to tell me all, dearT And he told ?er. When the counterfeiting gang had been captured, their plates had not. They were supposed to be hidden somewhere neat Masonvllle. Addison, a government detective, had been sent down to keep watch of the locality while . Shifty Lannlgan, one of the captured counterfeiters, was worked upon to betray the hiding place of the plates. By means known to the secret service, that had been finally accomplished, and It was by a coincidence that the night upon which Pannlgan had agreed to lead the detective to the hiding place had coincided with the night of the Addisons episode. apparently incriminating bundle com' tained the plates. Charlotte and Addison were married and went to live In New York, where he now runs a private detective The newspapers had a deagency. tailed account of ,the whole affair, but Georgiana and the Widow Leeds shook their heads and said, You cant believe a thing you see in the newspapers nowadays. , WHY TAKE LAXATIVES?

Usually little thought Is given to this end of the equipment?- - The receiver Itself may be a beautiful job, carefully soldered and wired, but frequently the aerial Is sadly neglected. Here are a few things to remember. The aerial should always? be in a straight line. Some beginners have restricted spaces for aerials and they think that by running the aerial In the form of a square all around the edge of the roof they will get better results. Others erect three poles on the roof and run a single wire In the form of a triangle. This la a waste of time and wire. Run It straight away and not over 100 feet long. Remember that If It Is too high It will pick up more static, too low, the signals will and If not be as good on long distance. A happy medium must be hit somewhere In between. ltis The lead-i- n wire should be taken from one of the ends and not from the middle. If the latter way of taking off the aerial Is nsed the effectual length of the aerial will be just about cut in half. In other words, use au Inverted L aerial and not a T aerial. If It Is not possible to erect the aerial all in one length and in the same direction, it is permissible to make a two or three-wir- e aerial. However, It must be remembered that two wires Editor of Radio Merchandising. each 00 feet In length are not the same as a single wire 100 feet long. There may be 100 feet of wire In the aerial, but the effective length will not be for the full 100 feet Be sure to Insulate the aerial from all surrounding objects. If the lead-i- n wire comes into contact with any of the surrounding objects there will be a decided tendency for the current to I leak and for the best results, especially on DX signals, advantage must be taken of every Tittle thing. The ground connection is fully as Important as the aerial, as It forms a part of the open circuit The best ground connection is to the cold water pipe, as this is the shortest and most direct lead to the earth. The hot water pipes and the radiator system will do If necessary, but there are many more joints in a system of this kind, and as these pipe joints are made up with white or red lead there wUl be a high resistance, which Is to be avoided. Scrape the cold water pipe until It shows a shiny finish and then either use one of the ground clamps that may be purchased, or, better yet, take about ten turns of the ground wire around this pipe and solder them In place. If the ground clamp Is used, this also should be soldered to the pipe. Solder all connections In both the aerial and the ground for the best results. off, rum-runni- JUSTICE Compllcated AMONG Laying Out Radio Set THE ARABS Proceedings Involving Punishment of Man Accused of Murdering His Aunt t ,Over the open grave near the tomb of Sheik Mansur, the patron saint of the village, the relatives of Miriam had sworn revenge in the words of the ancient formula: You must sleep, but we must take revenge on the enemy. Your bed Is silken; sleep and fear not. But what should they do? According to Immemorial Arab law it was their right and duty to attack the murderer and his clan, rob them at will and kill one d man from among their number. But this they did not dare to attempt ; for Fat-me- h and her son had a much larger following than they. They accused Khadir of throwing the fatal stone, but he denied his guilt and, instead of fleeing for refuge to a neutral sheik, he prepared, with the support of his relatives, to resist their attack. What could they do? As they discussed their wrongs, their rage mounted. There was but one way to get revenge to abandon their Arab customs and appear to the hated Turkish authorities at Jerusalem. By liberal bakshish Ahmad, son, got a detail of soldiers to descend on the village and carry Khadir away to prison. The trial was long drawl ont atad expensive to both sides through the payment of much bakshish. In the end Ahmads bribes won the day and Khadir went to prison for seven years. By common consent the matter rested until Khadir should be free. When war came, he was almost forgotten, until the English arrived and released him. What noy was to be done? Khadir was still a murderer according to Arab law. The honor of his murdered aunts family had not been vindicated. If the cousins were to live together in the same village, they must be reconciled according to Arab custom. The two persons most Intimately concerned, ipiadir and Ahmad, nlust meet and agree upon a mutually acceptable shm to be paid by Khadir as a ransom.

Purchase the best quality of apparatus, having the electrical characteristics that the particular set requires. Take special care to select parts of good mechanical as well. Lay the instruments on the table, trying different arrangements of the parts until an arrangement is found with symmetrical appearance, and with as short wires to the tuning, grid and plate circuits as can be secured. When the proper layout Is found, a scale laid alongside of the parts will give an approximate Idea of the size panel It will be necessary to buy. Try to arrange the parts to fit a standard-siz- e panel, which may be purchased at almost any radio store. Particular care should be taken in the wiring of the set to keep grid and plate wires separate and away from the filament wires. This will reduce the liability of squealing and broad tuning to a minmum. The filament circuit may be of almost any length, provided the wires that carry the current are large enough to prevent an excessive drop In voltage. Number 14, or the square bus wire sold for wiring sets, is very good for this purpose. e The output circuit of a amplifier should never be brought near to the grid circuit of the detector tube, as howling almost Inevitably results. More cases of howling amplifiers can be traced to Improper placing of the wires than to any other one two-stag- Needless Interference Users of regenerative radio ing sets should be very careful ulating the filament current on the detector tubes of their receiving outfits.
