Fisk welcomed a number of recently elect- ed members, each of whom responded i with brief addresses. E. S. Bentley, a membe of Newton Post, No. 89, of Newton, Mass., was a guest of the post and made a short address. The post commander displayed to the post a photostatic copy of the per- manent charter, framed in walnut, which had been’presented to him by Past Post and Past Department Com- mander E. Lester' Jones one of the yorganizers of the post. The char- ter is engrossed with the names of the 1,161 charter members. A vote of thanks was extended to Past Com- mander Jones for the workmanship on the new charter, which was re- cently sent out from' the national headquarters. The post also retains the temporary charter granted to the sixteen incorporators shortly after the St. Louis caucus in May, 1919. First Vice Commander Howard M. Peter, who has just returned for a two months’ trip through the west, 'where he visited the various U. S. Marine Corps post, on the Pacific coast, was welcomed by the post commander and on request told of his trip and the activities of the various legion posts in the west which he visited.

One of the boys will be at the house with the warrant almost as soon as you are.” But McCarty did not at first turn his, steps in the direction of the Creveling house. Instead he took & downtown 3d avenue car and alighted at the scene of the Hildreth woman's _escape on the previous night. The stout young operative from the detective bureau who -had reljeved Yost was seated in the hen, where the broken door and smashed flower pots still bore mute evidence of siege and flight. It was evident, too, from a hasty glance around the few barely furnished rooms of the little fiat that Yost and the policeman on the beat had made an even more thorough search of the premises for possible clues than Me- Carty and Dennis had done. Half an hour later, accompanied with obvious reluctance by another man, he -presented himself at the Creveling house and was admitted by Rollins, who eyed his -companion somewhat uneasily before he spoke. “Good morning, sir. There's a—a person waiting ‘ere for you. 'E said as 'ow you'd be along presently.” “That's all right; I'll see him in a minute. How is Mrs, Creveling?" “Better, sir, the doctor says, but resting. Mrs. Waverly and Mr. Alex- ander are upstairs with ‘er.” “I don't want to bother any them;” McCarty sald hastily. _“My business is with the valet, Frank Hill. Will you ask him to come here?” “Very good, sir.” When the butler had departed upon his errand McCarty turned to his companion. “Go into the breakfast room, there, but leave the door ajar. Listen to everything that is said and when 1 call ‘you, come out. Understand?’ “Yes.”' The man moved over to the door indlcated, shaking his head dis- of 5 BY ISABEL OSTRANDER.

An angular young man with the face of a student opened the door to them and smiled pleasantly. “Mr. Terhune told me that he was expecting you and your friend, Mr. McCarty. He is just completing the arrangement of his apparatus and he said that you were both to go to the consulting room.” - They found Terhune emerging from the familiar screen in one corner of the great bare room which now was furnished merely with a row of chairs facing what appeared to be a motion picture screen, and a single chair set forward and well at one side, like that of a teacher before a class. “I thought you might come a little earlier, my dear McCarty, but there will still be time for me to explain our experiment this evening to you.” Terhune shook hands in high good humor. “l see by the papers that you and Inspector Druet have followed the ob- vious course; I warned you against it. but I should have known how fu- tile my effort would be. Take my word for it, McCarty, you will have to let the yalet Hill go within twenty-four hours.” “T'd not be surprised, sir,” MecCarty responded quietly, but there was a sudden twinkle in his eye. Dennis tugged surreptitiously at his sleeve. “What {s it, moving pictures?” he asked in a rasping_ whisper. “Yes, of a sort, Riordan.” Terhune himself answered with a smile. “You will merely see a series of numbers projected on the screen, but I will approvingly as he went. “I don't like this business! It don’t seem fair to me, even if this fellow has done what you say he has. It's a dirty trick!” As he disappeared a fourth man slid around from an angle of the stairs where he had evidently been waiting. explain them to you later. I am using the old association test, McCarty, but in connection with a new and im- proved tonoscope called the vibrato- scope. Do vou see this drum?” He moved the screen aside as he spoke and displayed & large cylindrical case mounted upon a platform with supports at either end and a scale “Here, Mac.

You wanted to “Yes. Hill, what did you do when speak to me?" you were released from the station house Jast night?” 5 “I came straight back hefe, sir.

"Before it an upright brass arm held a needle pointer tipped with a tiny flickering flame. 3 “Look at that, now!" exclaimed Dennis, impressed. “And this vibrat— what you said, sir—what does it do? “It projects the vibration of the human voice upon the screen out there, much in the manner of the motion-picture machine,” responded Terhune. “The original tonoscope merely registered the tonal quality, showing by a standardized scale whether it was sharp or flat, but with | this amplified vibratroscope the vocal | manifestations of emotion may be measured down to an accuracy of a hundreth of a tone or even finer. “The vibrations of the voice, as you WASHINGTON, D. €., AUGUST 21, 1921_PART .2. .
