Every boy and girl should have euough ambition In life to secure all the education |M>sslble and not to give up school uutll it Is absolutely neces sary. There ha# been some discussion as to the youngest age that a child (hould be permitted to give up hi# schooling Many sny sixteen, and that Is the limit «of by tbe compulsory edu cation law. but It 1» regrettable If cbil dren have to stop their learning even at that age How a Clever Thief Used a Camera to Defraud. Winslow Fairchild was an Inventor. He had worked a number of years be fore striking anything of actual value. Then he happened to fall In love. There Is nothing to seMIe n man down to steady practical effort so much as love and marriage. The first Invention Fairchild made after hi# engagement be sold for On this he married. His workshop waa a single room on an upper floor in a business block In the dry. There be used to go at 0 o’clock In the morning and «-ork all day at bis Inventions. Inn few month# he had perfected a machine which he believed would make his fortune He made « very excellent model o f the choicest wood, with brass fittings, keeping It a secret and locking the model in hi» shop when not there, so that no one could get at It. When, however, hi- law\*-i came to ask for a patent In- wa# Informed that the «»m e machine hud ts-en patented a few days before. Great wo- Fairchild’s disappoint ment. but gr> iter wa# bis surprise that-some on*- el«,, bad been working on the «atm- plan a# himself and at the same time. Nevertheless he ap plied himself diligently nnd in the course of a year had another novelty ready for patenting What was his astonishment to find that in this also some one had got ahead of him. This time he began to suspect that hi# plans bad been copied. Rut who could have done so? lie kept them locked in a safe in his shop, and there wa* no evidence of the safe ever having been opened b.v an) one except him self. He mode an inspection o f the entrances to his »hop. but there was only oue door, on which he had placed a lock that no one would be likely to pick. There was nothing nbont the room that gave any evidence of hav ing been tam|>ered with However, before completing other plans and an other model, every night before leav ing he pluced a seal on the door and on each of tbe two windows. The seals were never broken except by himself when he returned to work In the morning. Nevertheless when he applied for a patent on his next ma chine he found that he had been fore stalled. Hoping to get rid o f the trouble by changing his shop. Fairchild rented a room in another building. Here he made a new machine. Giving the plan» to his lawyer, he awaited the re sult with feverish anxiety. The re port came, as usual, that the invention had been pntented By this time he had spent every cent he had received for his first Invention and had made nothing more. A child had been born to him. nnd his neces sary expenses were Increased. There was something so irritating, so wear iug on him that some mysterious per son or spirit was taking advantage of his brain work, leaving him and his family to starve, that he at last broke down with nervous prostration. Meanwhile as his spirits sank his wife rose to the occasion. She con tended that there was no way for any one to steal the plans except at the shop and determined to Keep a watch there herself. Her husband « a s too discouraged to make a new invention, but he wrote out a bogus plan and set up a former model. While It was ap proaching completion Mrs. Fairchild, leaving their little one In care o f her husband, went to the shop. She en tered it stealthily, «o as not to put any one on guard. She sat in the dark till long past midnight, but saw noth ing unusual. The next night she went again to tbe shop and sat in the dark. It was a forlorn hope sitting there with only the dim model to see against the window, it was perhaps 11 o’clock when she began to feel very sleepy. She pinched herself to keep awake. Suddenly there was a flash so blinding that she was forced to close her eyes for a second, aud when she opeued them all was darker than ever. Mrs. Fairchild waited awhile so ns not to alarm any one. then stealthily left the shop and, going to the nearest police office, told the officers she thought there were robbers In the building where her husband bad Ills shop. Several o f them accompanied her. she having the good sense to warn them to make a search with great caution. They searched every floor, at last coming to tbe one where the shop was locate«!. One man statioued himself on the landing above, one be low. There were but two rooms on a floor, and the men directeil their search to the rear rt>om back of the shop. The door was locked, und there was no api*eariince o f a light within. At Mrs. Fairchild's request the police man broke open the door. Directing a bullseye lantern Into the apartment, a man was seen cowering In a corner. In a tuble drawer was found a num ber o f photographs In different stages of finish, on the table a camera. Near the celling in the wall between the room nnd the shop was a hole so care fully made and stopped when not used that It would never be observed unless sought for. Holding the light to the photographs, Mrs. Fairchild reeogntz ed pictures o f her huslqind's models. The man was arreste«! and confessed that he had been photographing Fair child’s models ever since the Inventor had been making them by means of the flashlight process o f photography. He was convicted, and all o f his pat ents were transferred to Fairchild, who la uow enormously wealth. .
