Show PAGE TWO THE BINGHAM PRESS BUI TJETIN King Tommy By George A. Birmingham Coprrisht by Bobbs-Mrri- Co. W. N. U. Service "LADY NORHEYS!" SYNOPSIS. In London the teller of the story of the adven-tures of "Kins; Tommy," and known hereafter as "Uncle Bill," Is informed by Lord Norheys. son of an old friend, that Lord Troyte, head of the British for-eign office, Norheys' uncle, has a scheme to make him (Norheys) king of Lystrla. ln central Eu-rope, through marriage to Ca-lypso, daughter of King Wladis-law- s, deposed monarch of that country. A financier, Procopius Cable, knows there is oil in pro-fusion in Lystria, and with an English king on the throne the output could be secured for Eng-land. Norheys, In love with a stage dancer, Viola Temple, is not enthusiastic over the propo-sition. The patriarch. Menelaus, highest ecclesiastical dignitary in Lystrla, Is heartily ln favor of the restoration of the monarchy, and Cable has generously financed the sentiment. Calypso is mak-ing a living dancing in the "Mas-cotte- ," Berlin cabaret. Norheys refuses to entertain the Idea of giving up Viola Temple, to whom he Is secretly engaged. "Uncle Bill's" Bister Emily urges him to secure a passport from Lord Troyte for a certain Janet Church, strongminded Tfemale who wants to visit Lystria in the interests of a society for world peace. Janet Church leaves for Berlin. "Uncle Bill" is again appealed to by his sister to find a certain curate (name not given) who has left his parish in Ireland for a visit to Berlin, and cannot be found. Lord Norheys and Viola Temple disappear from London. Persian carpet Is soft. The glass merely rolled about a little. I picked It up quite unharmed and set it on the tray. "I suppose," I said, "that there's no possibility of a mistake about your news?" "There can't be a mistake," said Cable. "Caslmlr Is thoroughly reli-able. The telegram is ln my private code, so you couldn't read It If I showed It to you. But you may take my word for It that it comes from Caslmlr. No one else has the code." "I don't see any reason to suppose there Is a mistake," said Troyte. "Norheys told me he meant to go to Lystrla, though I didn't know he mennt to start day before yesterday." "He started a week ago," suld Ca-ble. That puzzled me. I was quite cer-tain tlint I had seen Norheys less than a week ago. Certainly Miss Temple was (lancing ln the Belve-dere four days before. I saw her there myself. Whatever Norheys had done, she had certainly not left Lon-don a week ago. "Does your telegram say whether there was any one else with Norheys and the princess?" I said. "You've told us that the Count Caslmlr couldn't go with them. Did they go off to Lystria alone?" "There was a lady with the prin-cess," said Cable. "Who?" I asked. "I don't know," said Cable. "Some of course," said Troyte. I was more puzzled than ever. I felt convinced that Miss Tem-ple was with Norheys wherever he Was. Unless he had succeeded In working out his plan for marrying both of them I failed to see what could have happened. "I think," said Troyte, "that we ought to follow Mr. Cable's example, and drink the health of the king and queen of Lystria." He rang the bell. In a few min-utes we had a bottle of champagne on the table between us. Troyte filled three glasses. He and I stood up. Cable had not sat down. "Long life to the king and queen," said Troyte. "The restored monarchy of Lys-tria," said Cable. "Oil," I said, "and plenty of It." Troyte drank. Cable hesitated, looking doubtfully at me. He sus-pected that I might be poking fun at him, and that kind of man always hates a Joke. I held up my glass and smiled omlahlv. yesterday. I told him that every-thing was ready. As a matter of fact, Cable has had an agent from Lystria waiting in Berlin for a week, ready to make a dart across the frontier the very moment Norheys urrlves. Every one in Lystria is pre-pared for the coup d'etat. The patri-arch and most of the leading nobles are to be in the Schloss Ainberg, one of the old royal pnlaces. Cable has poured money into the country and has got tlie whole thing thoroughly organized. In fact, he told me that he'd munaged to bribe the Presidenl of the Megnlian republic and three of liis cabinet ministers, so that they won't make a fuss when Lystria de-clares its independence. I've settled things with the French, more or less, that Is to say, they've agreed to leave it to the League of Nations." "Which means?" Troyte smiled slightly. "Talk," lie said, "and time." "So you really think that If Nor-heys has gone there " "Everything will go quite smooth-ly," said Troyte. "But I wish he'd told me he was starting at once." "And it might have been better," I said, "if he hadn't taken Miss Tem-ple with him." "I don't believe he's done that," snitl Troyte. "Hang it all, the boy's a gentleman. He wouldn't go off to marry the princess with that other woman in attendance." I felt as sure as I could be about anything that Norheys had not gone oft to marry the princess. But he might possibly huve gone to Lystria to see If he could secure the crown without the princess. He told me he was anxious to please his uncle and to supply the empire with oil. "What would happen," I said, "if he asked for the crown and refused to marry the princess?" "He wouldn't get it," said Troyte. "The Lystriuns are legitimists to the backbone." "And if by any chance I'm not saying that it is so, I'm only making a suggestion If by any chance Miss Temple followed him there of her own accord, what would happen?" "I should think," said Troyte, "that the patriarch would probably hang Norheys and imprison Miss Temple. But that can't have happened. The girl wouldn't be such a fool as to go there on her own." Then a servant came In and mur-mured to Troyte that Mr. Cable want-ed to see him on very important bus-iness. "Show him ln," said Troyte. I had never seen Procopius Cable. With Norhey's description fresh in my mind I expected a repulsive look-ing man. Norheys: called him "a Se-mitic toad,'1 an "octopus," and "a slimy money-lender.- " I was agree-ably surprised. He did not look like a gentleman, but there was no doubt about his being masterful and strong. I saw that he possessed ability of an uncommon kind. I could understand how it was that Troyte believed him to be an empire-builde- Cllve and Warren Hastings, In earlier days Drake and Froblsher, later on per-haps Cecil Rhodes, must have been men of essentially the same sort of character. But looking at the man, it was tolerably certain that he was not by birth an Englishman. He had become English because England Is the natural home of men of his type, the only country which has ever un-derstood how to use them. But the foreign strain was unmistakable. It was not Semitic. It was not Latin. I do not think It was Slav. It was something that made him more ex-citable and more liable to display ex-citement than a man of our blood I ' CHAPTER VI Continued 5- - It occurred at once that Nor-- l heys, goaded to exasperation by Ca-ble's conduct to Miss Temple, had gone off with her and got married somewhere. "Did you," I asked, "find out wheth-er Miss Temple is in London or not?" "No, I didn't. You surely don't think he's gone off with her?" "It might be worth while finding out whether she's in London or not." I went over to the telephone and rang up the Belvedere theater. I asked whether Miss Temple was there and at what hour she might be ex-pected to dance. Someone who was either in a hurry or a bad temper re-plied that Miss Temple was unable to dance owing to indisposition. He added j:hat if I had taken the trou-ble to look at the advertisements of his entertainment I should have seen that Miss Temple had not danced for two nights In that way, so he said quite plainly, I should have avoided wasting his time with silly questions. That was a plain hint to me to ring off and hang up the receiver; but I ventured on another question. "DO you happen to know if Miss Temple Is at home in her flat?" "No, I don't," came the reply, "and I shouldn't tell you if I did. We don't encourage strangers to run after our ladles." I told Troyte what I had heard. "I suppose," I said, "that putting two and two together in the usual way we arrive at four." "You mean that he', gone off with her?" "I should have expressed myself more plainly," I said. "I should have said that putting one and one togeth-er we arrive at another one. 'They twain,' you know." "Married?" "He told me he was perfectly de-termined to marry her, and I expect he was." My opinion was that Troyte had Then things occasionally happen In this dramatic way even in real life Norheys and Viola Templt walked In. "Hullo! Uncle Ned," said Nor-heys, "Just ran round, don't you know, to tell you that Viola and I were married the day before yester-day. Did the trick In Dover and ran over to Paris for twenty-fou- r hours. Excuse our not being dressed and that sort of thing. The train's only Just ln." Troyte stared at him. So did Ca-ble. Neither of them spoke. I felt It was my duty to break a silence that was becoming awkward. "Oddly enough," I said, "we were Just drinking to your health when you came in." "Were you?" said Norheys. "Now how the devil did you know? I sup-pose it got into the papers somehow. What I always say is : It's no use trying to keep things out of papers. 'The marquis of Norheys, and his beautiful bride leaving the church after the ceremony, and all that sort of thing. What? With a photograph of some other fellow and quite a dif-ferent girl grinning at you. I don't know ffbw it's done; but there it Is, you know. Anyhow, I'm glad It was broken to you, Uncle Ned. I was afraid it might be a bit of a facer at j first. Not that I'm going to hack out of Lystria. I always told you I was quite on for that. So's Viola. Viola is as keen as I am and we'll start to-morrow if you like." "Are you Lord Norheys?" gasped Cable. "That exact man, and this Is Lady Norheys." "If you're Lord Norheys " said Cable. "I don't blame you for not recog-nizing me," said Norheys. "I expect the photographs you saw In the pa-pers gave me a Tong white beard or something. But I'm the man, the actual and only original. Do tell him who I am, Uncle Bill. He doesn't seem to believe me." "If you're Lord Norheys, some one j else must have gone off to Lystria with the princess." "Good old Calypso," said Norheys. "Done a bolt on her own, I suppose. Family chauffeur, perhaps. What I always say Is this: If a girl has any spirit It's a mistake to drive her up against the ropes, telling her she's got to marry some fellow she's never seen. They won't stand It, and I don't altogether blame them. Jolly independent, all of them, specially since the war." "If you're Lord Norheys," Cable said, "who has gone off to Lystria with the princess?" He spoke In a dull flat tone. Troy-te made no attempt to answer him. Norheys put his arm round his wife's waist and winked vulgarly at me. There was a long and embarrassing silence. I broke It In the end with an Idiotic answer to Cable's question. "Unless It's my sister Emily's lost curate, I don't see who It can be." Then I giggled nervously. driven tlie boy Into marrying rather sooner than he meant to by contin-uously pushing the Princess Calypso at him and worrying him about the crown of Lystrla. Cable, with his at-tempt at bribery and his threats, had settled the matter. But there was no use making things worse for Troyte by telling him that it was largely hl6 own fault. I tried to soften the blow to him. "I'm told," I said, "that she's a nice, lady-lik- e girl. He might have done worse." Troyte sat sipping a glass of cog-nac without speaking. I went on : "And, after all. It wouldn't have been all Joy marrying a Balkan prin-cess. I don't know this Calypso girl personally, but I can't help feeling that a young woman brought up among bearded brigands, with snowy mountains all round, and heavy bar-baric Jewels given her for birthday presents, might turn out to be what the French call farouche. I don't meant to hint that she isn't a lady ; but she may be a hit lacking in se-renity." "I don't believe he's gone off with Miss Temple," said Troyte. The thing seemed so obvious to me that I could see no reason for doubt-ing It. But the next thing Troyte said startled me. "The fact is," he said, "that Nor-heys promised me three days ago that he'd go out to Lystria. He said he'd be ready to start tomorrow." "Did be say he'd marry the " "No. He didn't. If you want his exact words, he said. Til have a go t that Jolly old crown, Uncle Ned, Just to please you.' " I have never known Norheys go back on his word. If he said that he eertainly meant to do It. "And he promised to start tomor-row?" I said: "Yes. But he may have changed hj mind and started the day before would be. His eyes were sparkling. His face seemed to shine and his movements were Jumpy when he walked into the room. When he saw me he stopped, half way between the door and the fireplace. Troyte Introduced me formally, told him that he need not hesitate to speak In my presence and invited him to sit down. Cable still looked at me doubtfully. Troyte explained that I was Norheys' godfather and knew all about the Lystrian business. Then Cable blurted out the news. "I came round to tell you," he said, "that I've Just had a telegram from Caslmlr. You recollect, don't you, Count Istvari Casirulr Is the most in-fluential of the Lystrian nobles. He's my agent in Berlin." "Yes," said Troyte. "He was to re-ceive Norheys there." "Everything has gone capitally so far," said Cable. "Lord Norheys ar-rived ln Berlin. Caslmlr met him. They crossed the Megullan frontier today." "Today?" said Troyte. "Norheys and Caslmlr?" "Lord Norheys and the princess," said Cable. "Casimir couldn't go with them. He wouldn't have been allowed to cross the frontier. The patriarch Is waiting for them in the Schloss Amberg. They ought to ar-rive there tomorrow evening. Next morning tlie wedding will be cele-brated in the Hoyal chapel. Tomor-row afternoon the coronation will take place." Cable was excited, wildly excited. He stepped forward, tool! Troyte's liqueur glass, filled It with cognac and raised it high above his head. "God save the king of Lystrla," he said. He swallowed the cognac, and, fol-lowing the best precedents, threw down the glass. It ought no doubt to have emphasized the toast by be-ing shivered to atoms. But Troyte's Well, well! If this Lord Norheys has married Viola Temple, who's the other Lord Norheys? i (TO CONTINUED J Find Short Leads Will Work Better Parallel Wires Should Be Avoided in Hooking Up Receiver. There Is a right and a wrong way to do everything. This is particularly ap-plicable to rudio. Most trouble encoun-tered In a receiver can be traced direct-ly or Indirectly to the method of con-struction. The most difficult feature of this is the wiring. Every set has what Is termed "an Invisible circuit." This is the flow of energy that is created between two wires carrying different frequencies when they are too close to one another. Particularly Is this so when they are parallel. From this It would seem that the only way FlV1 f.t lU) Mount Transformers and Sockets to Obtain Shortest Leads. to avoid this is to run all wires at angles to one another. This cannot be done when the set is wired up with square corners. The best and most efficient way to wire a set Is to make connections directly from terminal to terminal in the shortest possible man-ner, This not only prevents parallel wires but it also reduces the resistance of the set as a whole, further Increasing its efficiency. For this a flexible wire of several strands and about may be used. It should be Insulated. Figure 1 shows a connection made directly from terminal to terminal and Figure 2 shows the same connection made with square corners. Note the difference.

All connec-tions should be electrically correct. 8. Internal oscillations. These may be caused by the position of audio frequency transformers with respect to each other; by failure to ground proper transformer terminals ; or by having grid and plate leads too close, or parallel to each other. 4. Defective tubes. Only standard tubes should be used, and they should not be Injured by burning too brightly. 5. Battery trouble. When the stor-age battery gets too low, the set will go into and out of oscillation at vari-ous points on the dial, producing howls and distorted reception.
