He scowled savagely. "From New York,
they are! Even the women in New
York are slick!"
On Thursday forenoon, there appeared
in Court House Square a long table
upon which were arranged four of the
Bang Sun engines, all painted red with
gilt stripings, and surrounded by a
brass rail.
On Friday evening, Mr. Wallingford
entertained in the dining-room of tho
New Auditorium. Present, besides Mr.
Wallingford and Mr. Bang, who sat
respectively at the head and the foot
of the table, were the flower of Cinder
burg's finance, the acme of its com
mercial achievements, the leaders of all
Its progressive movements which prom
ised a profit, and the owners of nearly
all its cash.
"Gentlemen, this little meeting wai
tho beginning of a new world epoch
There sat among them to-night a man,
a modest man, who, disguising himself
for years among them as a mere earn
est, plodding workman (applause), had
toiled in poverty to give to the world
its greatest gift since Prometheus
brought down fire from Heaven."
Mr. Morley nodded his head In grave
approval, and three others pursed up
their lips to show that they had heard
about Prometheus; the others looked
perplexed, and Pete Scallop clicked
back his teeth. Wallingford himself
paused to admire the patness of that
illustration, and to thank the lucky
star which had, just the night before,
laid his eyes for the first time upon
the fable of Prometheus.
However, he did not want a false
impression to get about. Cinderburg
must not expect, within a week or a
month or possibly within even a year,
to see its trolley cars and its factories
run by the Bang Sun Engine to the ex
clusion of all other motive powers.
Although in the meantime the work
of organization was to go steadily for
ward, and tonight these friends would
be given an opportunity to consider the
claims to local support of the Cinder
burg Bang Sun Engine, Light, Heat and
Power Company. This, ait organization
restricted to the furnishing of local
light, heat and power, was to be left
to local capital entirely, except that 51
per cent of the stock would be sub
scribed by the International Bang Sun
Engine Company, which was the parent
company and which would hold an in
variable 51 per cent of all branch or
ganizations. However, he was not
ready for their capital.
Thoughtful figuring on the part of
the Cinderburg capitalists.
The American Bang Sun Engine
Manufacturing Company was a differ
ent matter. It was a larger concern.
Incorporated for a quarter of a million
dollars. It would, if all went well, de
velop into a business of enormous ex
tent, perhaps the most important manu
facturing proposition in the world. Gen
tlemen, the main factory and the head
quarters of this monster organization
were to be instituted and held in Cin
derburg, making this beautiful little
city one of the most Important commer
cial centers of the Middle West!
Wild applause.
There was no necessity for pointing
out the advantages of investment in the
Cinderburg Bang Sun Engine. Light,
Heat and Power Company. Equally
obvious, he thought, were the advan
tages of investment in the American
Bang Sun Engine Manufacturing Com
pany, for it would manufacture all the
sun engines used in the United States.
However, he was not yet ready for
capital in this company.
Mr. Morley shook his head. "A million-dollar
company without a cent in
its treasury!" he protested. "Absurd!'"
"Wo don't need a cent!" exulted
Wallingford. "The parent company is
to be entirely self-sustaining. In all
other places but Cinderburg it will
require a cash premium from local
companle, as well as 51 per cent of
the stock, and its total business, aside
from procuring and protecting patents,
will he to collect its own income from
dividends and from royalties of a dol
lar a unit upon each Bang Sun engine
manufactured. The Bang patents are
worth billions and here is one place
where, through the parent company,
the inventor is to secure the benefit
of his own genius. Gentlemen, that
inventor needs no introduction to his
townsmen. Gentlemen. Mr. Bangs."
Mr. Bangs, realizing at last his actual
possession of the gigantic fortune
enumerated by that human radiator of
financial warmth andg ood cheer, the
eminent Wallingford, was affected al
most to tears, and indeed, his voice
shook as he stood now in answer to
a demand for a few remarks. He tried
to tell them something about the
drudging years he. had spent upon his
invention, but his voice broke. He
could not live long enough to thank
his dear friend Wallingford for hav
ing rescued him at a moment when all
the world was dark. Mr. Wallingford,
in the tenderness of his heart and in
the broadness of his human aympathy
and understanding, quite conspicuously
wiped his eyes and called the waiter
sharply to open more champagne.
"Gentlemen," said he, carefully sup
pressing the quiver in his own voice,
and smiling sweetly, "after all, we are
cold-headed men of business." He
paused to clear his throat of its con
creted emotion. "I have something in
my rooms to show you. Let us drink
one parting glass to the success of
the various Bang Sun Engine enter
prise, to the health of Mr. Bang and
to the future honor and glory and
greatness of Cinderburg, and then re
turn to my apartments."
But after all had been said and done.
Mr. Wallingford was not yet ready
for capital
A magnificent suite of offices was
equipped in Cinderburg's moet recent
