You better stay home or else git a cook.\ \Guess you can feed me a spell longer. Ma,\ he grinned. \Be back in an hour or two. S'long.\ On the morning following this incident the little village of Hill's Corners was awakened from its mid-winter repose by a startling story in the papers. The story was accompanied by an excellent like- ness of a young man in his late twenties who was known to the authorities as \Slim\ Barker, alias So-and-So, alias ^ m e t h i n g Else, very recently wanted for robbery and attempted murder in a nearby city. Slim had successfully eluded the officers and was believed to be headed for some remote section of Maine to bury himself in a snow- drift until the incident was for- gotten. The Red Hot Stove club assem- bled at the general store and, bar- ring a brief recess for \dinner remained in session the entire day. That picture on the front page was an excellent likeness of Liddy Baker's estranged son Sam, and Liddy was one of the most respected \widders\ of the Hill's Comers community. Everybody who had known Sam Baker before he quarreled with his mother two long years ago recog- nized the likeness at a glance. Everybody but Cy Morrill. \Poor Liddy,\ mourned Sary. \She'll never forgive Sam now.\ \Sam never done that robbery nor nuthin' like it,\ defended Cy. \Liddy didn't tmderstand how to manage Sam. That boy would do anything for me— or anybody else that needed help. A feUer like that ain't goin' to rob an' murder any- body.\ \Still there's his picture,\ ob- served Sary. \Huh!\ snorted Cy. \There's more'n ohe pea in a It was snowing softly t h a t evening when Cy hitched old Bess to the sleigh and departed for the Corners to get a Saturday supply of grocer- iers. As he glimpsed the lights of t h e village a shrill whistle came to his ears. \Train's late fnight,\ he mut- tered. \G'long Bess!\ The locomotive came to a panting General Auto Repairs AND SERVICE STATION Specializing In Brake Repairs Dickerson & Montgomery Route 25 PECONIC, N.

Cy's keen eyes caught the move- ment of a dark figure as it cfawled from the rods of the second car back and limped painfully toward him out of the storm. The figure stopped with a startled exclama- tion as old Bess loomed directly in his path. At that opportune moment the fireman on the locomotive opened the firebox door and the resultant glare plainly exposed the stranger's features to the searching gaze of Uncle Cy. Both moved at the same instant. Uncle Cy, displaying remarkable agility for a man of sixty, was out of the sleigh and upon the other in two jumps.

The half-dozen men who were headed for the postoffice heard it also. Investigation showed Uncle Cy seated astride the prostrate f o r m of a struggling captive who was try- ing his level best to be gone. The victim was immediately turned over to' the sheriff, and identified as Sam Baker. One hour and thirty minutes later the crowd that was still milling about the sheriff's office to get a peep at the prisoner was effectually parted by the efficient elbows of Uncle Cy. In his wake came Sary and closely following was the \Widder Baker,\ clinging to the arm of a slim young man, as if fearful of losing him in the crowd. That same crowd gasped as it rec- ognized the \Widder's\ escort as Sam Baker. \Ye see, sheriff, it's like this,\ grinned Cy, when he had attained his objective, \I been feedin' Sam up in my camp fer a' week, wait- in' for th' proper time to t a k e him home to his ma.

I had her almost ready to forgive him when this pic- ture bobs up in th' paper an it's all ters off. \Sam here, an this feller 'Slim' is alike as two peas, but you study 'em close an' you can pick out Sam all right.\ Sary poked him in the ribs. \Cy Morrill!

That's about 160 times as fast as ordinary movie cameras—so fast it can photograph the vibrations of the vocal cordu. Pictures of the vocal cords, made with the aid of reflectors, give impor tant Information on how speech Is pro duced—a subject of special interest to telephone engineers working on trans- mlBsion problems, and also to the medi cal profession biid vocal tdachers. Tbe camera wa« developed by Bell Tele- phone Laboratories, New York City, research organization of the Bell Sys- tem. A former theory of how speech Is produced held that the sounds come from the vocal cords and are modified by the resonances of the cavities in the throat, nose and mouth. Another Idea was that the vocal cords supplied the puffs of air which are converted Into speech sounds by the c'avltles. The \speech\ photos taken by the new camera suggest that, although the Tocal-cord tone i t dependent to some extent on the particular sound spoken, the principal characteristics of the sound are determined by the resonant action of the cavities of the throat and mouth. This camera Is also used in studying and improving the action of telephone apparatus, such ai switches, clutches, ringers or dials, and in seeking to rem- edy certain noise conditlont la ma- chinery. \Dolllca\—smnll flat cars on trackH —took a big part in a giant telephone Job recently. They helped to shift Ave miles of toll lines without moving tlip telephone poles from an upright post tlon and without interrupting scrvlrr over these lines. The poles, carrying five cross arms of wires the entire distance and a 60 pair cable for part of It, were moved sideways twenty feet to make room for a highway widening Job near Spring- field, Mo. As the Job had to be done with unusual speed, unusual methods were used, but In every detail were carefully planned In advance. The required slack In the wires and cable was added at the start. A pole was then lifted by derrick and winch to a \dolly\ set on tracks laid at right angles to the highway. This was rolled halt way to Its waiting new hole, then the next pole was similarly handled. Pole No. 1 was then shifted the rest ot the way. Thus, with two polos being moved at a tlmt>, the shift was accom pllshed without removing the wires from the Insulators and with only a few wire transfers.
