CHAPTER XII.- •'The royalty ideal appeals to me,” answered Davenport, “for I certainly do not want to get mixed up in affairs unless I have to. But I do feel respon sibility in turning a thing like this loose without trying to do my part.” •‘You'll find the business part of It In pretty competent hands.” Grim stead assured him, "I do not doubt that for a moment,” said Davenport. "I shouldn't have a moment's uneasiness on that score. I’m thinking of the world at large?” "World at large?” repeated Grim stead. a little blankly. "Yes. You, of course, have not thought of this as much as I have, for It is a new proposition. But I've been pondering on it for a very long while. It’s the terrific upset in industry that must come from this.” "Of course there wilt be readjust ments.” agreed Grimstead. '•But just stop to follow this out. Let's suppose, for the sake of argu ment, that this battery is all it might be; that it is a genuine short cut to unlimited power. The gas and electric companies would simply have to go out of business Why should anybody buy anything of them? Reach ing out from taat th nk of the corre lated industries that would be more or less affected—" "I've got that kind of imagination, young man," interrupted Grimstead drily. “I'd already considered all that.” "Of coursse,” smiled Davenport, rp- lapsing from his tense eagerness. "And then besides there are hundreds of thousands of workmen who would be thrown out of employment for a time until a readjustment had been made." "Why, It sounds terrible!" cried Burton. "That’s why I say there’s a responsi bility connected with it. All this capital and these works of various kinds and those workmen will find other and probably more ultimately useful things to do after a time. It shouldn't be sprung on trem all at once.” “What would be your suggestion?” asked Grimstead. Davenport laughed boyishly. •'My goodness! That’s a large order! But I suppose It might be fed out through a single Industry at first —say, motorboat engines, or some thing of that kind. If we held the patents, we could regulate that exactly,” "Then you finally prefer the stock proposition ?” "I guess it’s what I ought to have,” said Davenport. “Very well,” returned Grimstead "Gardiner, get your notebook and take this.” Gardiner had risen from the post of private secretary and so took short hand. “Draw me up a proper contract em bodying these points,” Grimstead in structed him.
