Evidently Mr. Bang was not overburdened with weultb, and be was quite clearly out of place amid the uiiigiiitl''eii' of the Ho tel Bullion. "You're from Clnderburg. I believe?" "Yes, sir," said Mr. Hang. "Glad to meet you," and J. Uufus ex tended a large, warm hand. "My name is Wallingford-J. Hufus Walllngford." He sat dowa at the little table and ring for the waller. "Will you break a bottle of bubbles with uie or stick to the stein?" Mr. Hang's rather helpless blue eyes svldeued. A bottle of bubbles! That meant champagne! "I don't mind changing tny drink," It observed, with speculative anticipa tion. Also, he began to look little brighter. This man J. Itufus Walllng ford might be a capitalist. Must be! "I'm thluklng of buying some Clnder burg bonds," said Witlllngford grandly and stopped to order a quart of chain Higne. "What kind of a town Is it)" Tretty good." Sir. Bang glanced Down at his frnyed cuffs. "How many banks)" "Three," a little hesitation. "I think." Apparently the man from Clnderburg was not well acquainted with banks. "Wbat'a the bet oner "The Commercial." Quite sure about this, though It gave liltn no plcasura. "Who's the president?" "Dana T. Morley," and this answer gnve Mr. Jiang even less pleasure than the other. Yjff "Morley." J. Rufus stalled and strok ed his stubby mustache. "Seems to ma I've heard that name. What sort of a nan is be?' Mr. Bang considered that question In ilenee for a moment, his brows knot ting, his neck swelling and his face purpling. "Rotten 7 be finally exploded. "He's my landlord. lies a mean, stingy, ?reedy little ens He's a detriment to be town. If there's any good business romes along and be can't gobble it all op be wants to choke it to death." The waiter sat down two champagne jlasscs of delicate shape, and Mr. Bang reached out for one. At that moment the swing door oiened, and a flash of sunlight shot into Bang's eyes. He poshed the glass off the table, and it shivered into countless fragments. "Hang the suulight."' be exploded; then be apologized. "What's the matter with tbe sunshine'-" tbe round faced one wanted to know. "I'm strong for it myself. Seems to me we've been having the ort of weather that could be framed and sold for the gem of the Morgan collection." "That's just tbe trouble," complained Mr. Bang. "I wanted sunshine on uiy transformer these two weeks and got i it, but it might a well have rained." I "Your transformer':'' questioned Wal llngford, with polite Interest. "A sun motor," replied Mr. Bang, in troducing somewhat shyly the subject nearest bis heart. "I have been work ing on It five years. I mortgaged my place to perfect it. secure patents, I make a working model and come on here to interest capital." j ' By the time you get back to Cln derburg." said Wallingford iinprcs j slvcly when they left the hotel after a long, earnest talk, "they'll band you the town on a velvet cushion. Just ' step hi here a moment." I "In here" was a toy store, where Wullingford purchase five different sizes of toy electric motors, to which he bad fitted rainbow colored disks of light cardboard of about a foot in di ameter. Then he bundled the five mo- j ore anil air. r,uug into a tableau auu drove to a ready uir.de clothing estab lishment, where, with grave care, he bad Mr. Bang outfitted in as near an Imitation of his ow n prosperous look ing, op to date clothing possible to obtain. Next he drove to the Bullion. "Now," he sail to Mr. Bang. "I'm going to telephone some people. In the meantime 1 want you to go into the barber shop, get a shave, a hair cut, a singe, a shaiuoo, a massage and a shine and get manicured. Have them nil working on you at once. Join uie on the roof." As one In a daze Mr. Bung obeyed Instructions. When at the end of an hour he ascended to the roof of the Bulliou be found there tbe resplendent Mr. Walllngford In the midst of a i group of keen eyea nnu laugning young men. Some of them were sruok- Ing Mr. Wnlllngrord's big black ci gars, and others were smoking mono graiuined cigarettes from his diamond studded case. A small sen lng table stood near them tiion w hich were sev erul partly filled champagne glasses. "You see, gentlemen," Walllngford was saying, "with you holding this eu glne free of tbe roof there can be no iks slble connection with outside sources of electricity unles It should come up through your feet, and I think that any current of electricity having the nerve to pass through this bunch would be frazzled to the limpness of spaghetti by the time It got to w here lis ticket was punched for. By the way, gentlemen. allow me to IntriMluce Mr. Bang." Instantly the four men who were holding the Bang sun engine deoslted It upon the roof and with one accord surrounded the refurbished Mr. Bang. Where did Mr. Bang lire, and how long had be worked upon bis Invention': And how did he first get the idea? And what wa the size of Clnderburg? And w hat would be the pre e I sun engines 1 per borsexjwer delivered in New York? And bow soon might we cx-ect to run ocean liners wilh II? And would It be possible to build self current Marconi towers out of these uu engines? a a Clnderburg bad bidden goodby to Ed Bang lu n spirit of tunic or less con temptuous tolerance. He wr.s a good, honest, steady young worUnguuin, but It was a pity be hail gone dally on pat ent rights, to the neglect of his Job and his family! Clnderburg received Mr. lid lon Morse Bung with awe as a hero home from glorious victory, for Cinder burg boasted two morning and three aftcrnoou papers, and the nl-lit before all those puiiers bad lu feverishly akked by wire for details concerning the life and work and rsuii.il ibarae (eristics u in) bablls mid family mile 'c dents of the Illustrious Inventor, who had Just disposed of bis wonderful mn engine lo the eminent financier and capitalist, J. Hufus Walllngford. In another day the New York (mpcrs arrived. The New York papers bad not cured two wboot,i about the accuracy of Mr. Wallingford's statements uor the worth of Mr. Bung's Invention, but they hnd seen a sensational "story" I ml bad "played It up" for alt It was icorlh. .Mr. Bang had developed a sun engine which was to make the world over from k!c to mle. It was to light and heat the earth. furnMi Its ower ami transportation and provide the medium fur communication w ith Mars. Was Mr. Bung bcncllted by this? He was. Already, even before he knew It. he had alt the privileges and perqui sites of a rich num. rroinlnent people who hud never before seemed to know Hint Mr. Bang existed suddenly remem bered him. His boss, old I'ete Scallop, the proprietor of the Clnderburg Ku reka Auto Motor Washing Machine company, met him and shook bands with blin right on Main street In front of the Commercial bank. "By the way." continued Mr. Heal lop, lowering Ids vc confldeutlnlly. "I suppose you'll be building big shops THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM.

Mr. B.mg ao epted the offer with thinks and with joy. Mr. Biiig called ujch Mr. Taclson, be of the red cheekbones and tbe habit ual marble eye, tbe latter characteristic having been alw ays in evidence to com pel cash on the nail for wire. "Hello, Mr. Bang!"' t iii Mr. Taulson, Immediately coming from behind his desk and rubbing bis bands together. "I suppose we'll have great activity In the sun motor construction Hue about now." "A little." admitted Mr. Bang, search bag In vain in Mr. rnulson's counte nance fur the erstwhile marble eye and finding there instead a friendly and t-e: ruing orb. "I thought so," sai 1 Faulson. "and to show yc-J thr.t we bave just as moch enterprise in Clnderburg as In jour You stt, gentlemen," Wallir.gford was saying. New York I placed a large order for material the minute the paers told us of your success. It should be here by tomorrow." "That's goel." said Mr. Bang. On Friday evening Mr. Walllngford ciitertalued in the dining room of the New Auditorium. Present, besides Mr. Walllngford and Mr. Bang, who sat resH-ctlvcly at the head end tbe fool of the table, were the flower of Cinderburg's finance, the acme of its commercial achievements, the leaders of nil Its progressive moeuients which promised a profit and tbe owners of nearly nil lis cash. "Gentlemen, ibis little meeting was (be beginning of n new world epoch.

Mr. Morley nodded bis bead In grave approval, mid three others pursed up their lips to show that they bad heard about I'fometheus. the oihers looked perplexed nud I'ete Scallop clicked back his t.-elh. Walllngford himself j paused to admire the atness of that ' illustration mid to thank the lucky i star which had. lust the nii-ht before.! laid his eyes for Ihe flr-t time uon the fable of rroinetheus. However, be did not want a fuNe Im pression to get about.

HoweTer, be was cot yet ready for capital In this company. A magnificent suit of ofEees was equipped in Cinderburg's most recent and most Imposing skyscraper. In the meantime W"aillngfonl set Mr. Bang at work upon some minute mode's of the wonderful Bang sun engine, cot over a foot In length and six inches in width and two Inches in depth, neat and beau tifully gilded, and these supported the tiniest imaginable of buzzers mere shreds of tongues whkh alternated be tween tiny electric magnets and after these had been set in the sun for a short while they each set up a keen, sharp, small, high note, like an infant cricket's, which spoke volumes for the wonders that the big machines could accomplish. Then Mr. Walllngford went to Mr. Morley at tiie Commercial bank and exposed the full breadth of his chest and shoulders, the full pinkDess of his round face, the full radiance of his confident smile. "Morley," said be in the pleasant tone of one requesting a match from a boon companion. "I want to borrow a checking accoiirit of tZ&jQ." "Glad to accommodate you." said Mr. Morley, bis gray face wreathing in an unctuous smile. "Well." said Wailincford, smiling, "I guess I'll offer you some International I Bang Sun Engine stock." Mr. Morley shook his bead and view ed nr. vt. siiingrora in h.na.y reprooi. "While that stock is undoubtedly of high worth. It isn't collateral, Mr. Wal licgford. It represents at present no tangible value and. in fact. Is not even issued by an operating concern." "Oh, I see," said Wallirgford, smil ing. "No; I don't believe you do." returned Mr. Morley. complimenting himself in ternally for being a devil of a sly fel low and an ingenious one. "Even 1 personally would not care to losn mon ev uis-jn the security." Mr. WallUigfonl's fa?e apparently 1 fell. In reality he heaved an Inward sigh of satisfaction. "You would not';' he Inquired in a crestfallen tone. "No," Insisted Mr. Morley. and then he smiled ingenuously and placed bis band in friendly confidence upon Mr. Wallingford's knee. "I might, how ever, consider tbe pnrcbase outright of a block of it if the price were made at tractive." "Tbe International stock Is not for sale," said Mr. Walllngford stiffly and arose. "Now, look here, Walllngford," pro tested Morley, "sit down. Of course 1 know you've made your money by look ing out for the main chance. I under stand that you hold personally only five shares of stock each ui the local company and in the manufacturing company, but you hold almost 5,XO shares of stock in the parent company, which will hold 51 i-er cent of the stock In every other branch company ever formed, which will In addition collect a cash license premium from all other branch companies and take a dollar royalty for every sun engine unit man ufactured during the life of your over lapping patents, which means indefi nitely.

But in the meantime thej Commercial bank will be in a position to do a great many favors for all three of your companies. For Instance, yon say the International has no treasury stock for sale." "No." Walllngford assented. "Then when It gets ready to extend Its business It will need funds." "Not at all," denied Wulllncford. "The premiums It receives for the es tablishment of new local branches will carry on nil its necessary expenses. Later on patent litigation may take i quite a bit. but that cannot come be- fore rt eipts le--ui to pour in. iou may not know that 10 ier cent of In- ternatlonal s receipts from all sources j Is to go Into a sinking fund for pateuts j ""'1 patent litigation nloue." "Correct." said Morley, nodding his head In decided approval. "That shows your shrewd wisdom, the farsighted ! business principles, Mr. Walllngford, j which have muile you what you are! and which have Inspired the con- j tldeine of business men In you," and be looked nncw at Mr. Walling- j ford's well fed, well irrigated and well ! groomed bulk. "I w ill buy some of that stock right now, Mr. Walllngford. Five ! thousand dollars' worth." I "You will not:" decided the great! capitalist angrily and stalked out. re-1 fusing to turn at Morley's urgent cnlL I Morley followed hiiu to tbe entrance to the bank. Walllngford. listening comfortably to his big auto chimgliiK away down at the curb, sat waiting for the time to arrive when he should go to the train to meet the girls and locked about the magnificent nftlcrs of tbe International Bang Sun Engine company with much satisfaction. A visitor coming Into this alsnle of commercial wealth found him self lu a spleudid nnteroom, floored with a rich rug and furnished with heavy Flemish furniture. Beyond, Sep a rated by a Flemish rnlllus. were neat ly attired girls. Indexing at (op sieed from a huge Bnldstreet book possible promoters ef branch Bang Sun Engine.

To the left was a big banl room with a long, green topped tablo and heavy Flemish chairs In solemn rows about It and neat little puds of bond paper and a patent Ink well and pens and pencils In frout of each chair. To tbe right were two splendidly fitted private rooms, lettered res)es lively "Mr. Ilnng" and "Mr. Wal llngford."

Into this hive of golden activity came, with a Quick, nervous step, an extremely ministerially garbed man. tall and slender, his eyes and hair as black as tls Trinre Albert and as shiny as his silk hat This gentleman, refusing to send in bis name, pushed breezily Into the inner sanctum and slapped J. Rufus on tbe broad back. You're pinched for loitering in a graveyard," he announced. "Hello, Blackiel" exclaimed Wal lingford, ciaspiEg the band of tbe visitor. "Ready for the grand tableau," said Walllngford, closing bis eyes to chuc kle. "You're the red fire." "All right," said Blaokie, "touch a match to me." "I'll do that on the way down to the train," returned J. Rufus. "The girls are coming." "That's why I'm here ahead of time," grinned Blackie. Ttc chauffeur was not visible when they reached tbe sidewalk, and after bonking tbe horn a few times, Wal llngford and Blackle climbed into the tonneau. "How's the game. J. Rufus?"' asked Daw. "Good, I guess, from the front yon rnt up. Any time I see too much padded leather in a new office I shift my wad to an inside pocket and but ton my vest." "This town swallows 'em without pinning back the wings," declurcd J Rufus with enthusiasm. "It is com posed of the direct descendants of tbe Jonah that swallowed the whale." "They sure did need you. then," re sponded Blackie with conviction. "In that particular line you're the greatest throat specialist on earth. I've seen you make people swallow a line of bunk that would gag a hippopotamus." Further intimate conversation was stopped by the appearance of the chauffeur, who came through a nearby swinging door, hastily wiping bis mus tache. When the 10:30 came thundering in ! a few m0meu;s later the two knights of Industry hurried back to the Full man, from which there emerged the two beautiful Warden girls In exqui site traveling suits, Fanny in brown and Violet lu blue. Aunt I'attie in gray came last, with a face full of con cern. There was no hilarious greeting, how ever. The Warden ladies were demure ly courteous to Mr. Wullingford, who introduced himself, and they suppress ed the dance In their eyes as Walllng ford in the Sight of such C'inderbur gions as were there assembled gravely introduced the Boston millionaire. Then tbe five climbed Into the auto, and the chauffeur, bis ears reddening from their intent listening, drove up Main street, past tbe Commercial bank, to the offices of Mr. Walllngford and Mr. Bang and went over Immediately to tell Dana T. Morley 's chauffeur that these we"e the same New Y'ork women who bad bought the options and that they had come to sell the Sun Engine company some land and that there was a millionaire here that wauled to buy the privilege of lighting and heatin and furnishing power to Boston with Bang-Sun engines and that bis (the "Oh.

"This guy Daw says he ain't got any account here," explained Mr. Jones, "but I guess this guy Wallingford's all right" The names of Mr. Daw and Mr. Wal llugford brought President Morley straight over to the paying teller's win dow. "The check Is erfe'i-tly good," he ob served, but he looked dubiously at W O. Jones. "Do you know Mr. Daw or Mr. Wullingford :" "Say, I know this guy Daw like a thief knows a fly cop." prowled On Ion Jones, "Say, there's a guy has S' ii E -I i Li "'J'?. t ! i .

Mr. Morley was thoughtful for a long half hour after Mr. Jones had left bim. then he walked slowly out of the side door of the bank and went over to Wallingford's Lotel. In the bar he walked slowly over to Mr. Wulling ford and received an Introduction to Mr. Daw and greeted that Boston nill iionaire with great etTnivenci-s, and invited bim to dinner, and hastily de clined an Invitation to a drink.

When the Boston milPonaire came Mr. Morley dragged him into the library and produced the whisky and poured two tumblers and emptied his drink into a tail vase when Mr. Daw was uot looking. Mr. Daw took one sip und choked and emptied his drink in the vase when Mr. Morley was not looking. Between them they emptied two bottles In this fashion, and both men were very drunk that is, to the outward eye. Then Mr. Mor ley leaned flabbily ou the arm of Mr Daw's chair rnd said: "Is there no way. friend Daw, In which a man with money to invest could secure some of that parent com p.iuy stock?" Blackie Daw grinned loosely. He cast an unstable eye at the '.-riling and winked his profound wisdom.
