"I told these two risen, so before you were fetched out." I turned to the two detectives. "This is Lady ':Renardsiiiere's but- ler at her house in Dark Lane," I said, "You hear what his mistress's orders are. And there's no heed to call Mirs Manson—I'll take the responsibility." We went into the stables and to Rippling's Ruby's box, ,with a couple of lanterns. The stable -boy who slept there rose and blinked at us: Rippling Ruby herself turned hee great liquid eyes on the lights: And Joycey gave her but one look, and drew back. "`That's quiet sufficient, gentlemen," he said. "That's all I was, ordered to do, I thank you!" He snuffled hinmelf again and went, out: I walked a few yards with‘him across the grounds, • "Queer proceeding, Joycey!" I re- marked.

They pressed us to join them, but we were both far too concerned— excited, in my case—to eat, and I was impatient enough until Peggie had cleared her parlourmaid out of the room and we four were alone. Thera I told the whole tale. It: produced different, effects on its two heraers. Miss Hepple grew graver and graver —but Peggie waxed more and more impatient and angry. "The whole thing's absolutely pre- posterous!" she burst out, ` when I had made an end of the story. "It's as impossible -that the filly can be in- terfered with as that—as' that—oh, I can't think of a smile! I never heard such nonsencel? No horse that ever breathed has been so much looked af- ter.

"T think not!" said Peyton, quietly. "Not !" Peggie laid down her .knife and fork and looked at him. Her face had been all aflame with undeniable temper, but under Peyton's steady gaze ittre- gained its normal colour, and I saw that she had suddenly calmed down. "I think,' you're a cominonsense man, Mr. Peyton," she said in level tones. "Now, then, why do you think it isn't rot?—when I think it is!" "Because I don't regard: it from your angle, he answered. "It's not that pretty bit of horseflesh on the other side your grounds there that's to be got at --it's Lady Renards here that's to be got at through her, This man that's lurking in the shadow, striking at nothing to get what he wants, has daubthe s long since dis- covered that Lady Renardsmcre tis mixed up in this thing, and has very likely threatened her unlessshe gives with her; one of the detectives is in the only room by which access can be had to her box, 'and two others patrol the yard outside.

It's Peyton's sugges- tion." "It's very kind . of Mr. Peyton—of Y both of you," answered Peggie., . "If you want my candid opinion, as Rippling Ruby's trainer, it's absolute- ly unnecessary.

Sherrill (Radio Engineer) , Estimates have placed the number of 'receiving: sets in the United. States at one for every five families. In New York City, however, radio broad- casting is so necessary to the natives; that there is one set -to every three fa- milies. Broadcast receivers are ` in- stalled in many of the larger hotels and, in some casee all of the rooms are .radio equipped. Another radio record is to be found in "a suburb' of New York City, where there are 88 aerials on one roof. This antenna collection is on the roof of a newly constructed apartment house. The antenna are supported on steel racks 15 feet high and aoo feet long. Each antenna is. separately insulated and is held taut by a spring. Further reports from •'New York, have it that fourteen large new tene- ment houses have been equipped with broadcast' receivers. Each of the 365 apartmentscontains a loudspeaker, the :instruments being "fed" by four receivers under the control of an`op- erator It is presumably the idea of the optimistic owner, that such an ar- rargement will attract tenons. It seems' safe to `assume that New York City is, at least mildly, interest- ed in radio. broadcasting. Less Price Cutting Radio Field Reports from Washington, D. C. iii dicate that the radio business is on a more sound basis for this coming summer than it has been. for some. years. ',rice cutting of radio equipment, which placed the radio industry in a rather embarrassing position last summer, is• not expected' to appear this season in anything like the vio- lent form it took last year. Following the dumping of receivers in the sum- mer and. fall of /925, radio manufac- turers in general are reported to have settled their business down to a snore: solid basis, and precautions have been 4 taken to, guard against a repetition of the wholesale price slashings of a year ago: Gradual reductions in pri- ces have been made in all lines of re- ceivers during the last few months, and still further cuts are expected this summer. cations are carried out with poison gas, an4'111tis it is necessary that wit- nesses do tipt get, too close to the vic- tinmS, Perhaps the broadcasting of .such gruesonie sounds' would help te, re-' duce the number : of murders which. oeetr; —0— Japanese Broadcasters Active in case youwish to pick up some real DX, remember that Japan now has three broadcasting stations in op- etaion.

Radio Questions and Answers (Mr. Sherrill ••will ' be glad to help you solve your radio problems. Write" him in care of this paper.) 1 Q.. L. A, M. asks; "Why must the grid return to a UVi99 detector tube be connected tot, the plus side of the filament instead of to the negative?" Ares.: -The characteristics of the UVz99 are such that the grid return. must be connected to the positive side. of the filament in, order to, get a grid voltage which will make the tube suitable' for detecting. Q.=R. E. S. asks: "Does a"high an- tenna receive more static than a low- er one?1' Ans.:--Yes. It is better, for sum- mer reception, to use a short low an- tenna in preference to a high one or a long •one. Q.—R. D. ,B. says: "I have chaged the condensers in my 5 tube reflex receiver to those of the straight ; line. frequency type. Since doing this. I have never been able to get any, se- lectivity, 'especiallyon the high wave- length stations. Why is this?" Ans.:—I think that your selectivity is just as good as it was befog"e, and that you just believe it to be less be- causethe higher wavelength stations are now closer together on the dials. It does seem -peculiar when you use a S. L. F..condenser for the first time, but it is just a matter of getting used to it, Mierop'!tones To Have Gruesome Role According to reports from Carson' City, Nevada, the State Prison doc- tors intend to fasters microphones on the bodies• of three murderers, just before they are executed, This`` : will ` enable the physicians to listen td- the heart beats of the Mtn as they 4.are put to death.
