answered Davenport, “for I certainly
do not want to get mixed up in affairs
unless I have to. But I do feel respon

"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

anybody buy anything of them? Reach

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!
