She has failed to in- terest New York society in her- self, so now she hopes to win popularity with a fictitious rap- utation. Guy Bryson has in- troduced her to Paris. Rene de Thenardier commits suicide because of Venice, rumor cays. Chapter 27 BON VOYAGE “Nothing to worry about, Venice” Guy said. “She's always been | fiendishly jealous.

It struck her as a musical comedy turn of events. Guy for whose at- tentions she paid, who had never even put an arm around her, was suddenly being hunted down as an unfaithful husband. “But ave had better sever our partnership,” he said. “I suppose so.” She was lost again in reflections. It didn't mat- ter. She had gathered more than enough about her to take home to rival any Ann Duryea. She smiled. “What a lot we set in motion, Guy.” “Hardly healthy, I calls it.” He 2 laughed. “It leaves me wreathiess,” said| Venice. “It should leave you gay and as- sured, my girl.

Her mind nowadays had so much to play about that thefe was no consciousness of lonliness in her present solitude. Nolly’s op- eration and Nolly’s engagement; Rene and the rich heritage of ru- mor that he had bequeathed her with his abrupt demise; Guy and his wife; pictures of herself at home, Venice Muir for whom, peo- ple would believe, a dashing young Marquis had thrown himself from a window. Guy telephoned her the day be- fore she sailed. “Just a bon voyage, Venice. Beatrice is here at the pension with me and I wouldn't risk any unpleasantness for you by trotting down to say goodbye.” Venice knew genuine regret at the thought of not seeing him again. “How are things going, Guy?” “Slowly thanks.” He ‘laughed. You couldn't pierce Guy's real troubles. There was a pause. She was suddenly consumed by a serious desire to see his wife. “Ple " she heard herself say- ing, “don’t think I'm crazy. If I sat at the Cafe de la Paix at five wouldn't you walk by with her, Guy? I must know what she looks like. “Funny gihtii Why?” “I don't know. But please do— as a bon voyage present.” She heard his quick, careless laugh along the wire. “The situation holds just enough theatricalness to intrigue me. Watch for your gigolo and his wife at five.” Venice with vivacious determina- tion, Venice caught the boa They were silent for a while, both seeing Venice in the future eagerly sought after, no longer seeking. “Tell me,” she suddenly said, “about you, Guy.

E. BUTTERFIELD BCSTON, Mass, Jan. 1—Tele- vison signals of the same image on two wavelengths are being success- fully transmitted in reacearch work under way here. ! One channel is the experimental short wave band of 107 meters. The other is in the ultra frequen- cies, six and one-half meters to be exact. ‘While numerous reports ' have been received from lookers who have been able to tune in the 107- meter signais, including some from the high frequency transmission. However, 'l.2 few reports made {to the Boston Short Wave and Television laboratories have shown results similar to those obtained by other investigators—that transmis- sion is definitely limited as to area, that that interference is almost nil and that pictures of unusual de- tail can be recorded. This last facy is considered re- markable in that no pains were taken in constructing the trans- mitter and because a power of only 30 watts or so is used, and modu- lation is reduced to about 45 per cent. ‘The calle letter are WIXG, the transmitter being made with the idea of portability in mind. The antenna is only 20 feet above a two-story building on a high spot of ground. The high frequencies, believed to take on some of the characteristics of light waves and to travel only as far as the antenna can be seen, have been received at least 15 miles away. At that distance pictures were reproduced with almost the same fidelity as that obtained a block or so away from the transmitter. Seek Screen Receiver In connection with the high fre- quency research, the engineers un- der the direction of Hollis Baird have been bending every effort to perfect a screen receiver. In this connection, neon tube design is be- ing pushed to develop lamps that will reproduce white pictures in place of red. The screen televisor has a sim- plified optical system, the lenses in the semi-drum cype disk being the sole means of 'enlarging the tiny spots of light so that when thrown upon a screen they build up a pic- ture that can lle increased in size to a foot squaré. The neon lamp used, or the crater type, has its light source confined to an extreme fine point, making condensing lenses unneces- sary. The screen consists of a specially treated photographic plate.
