tinbruslied and unproved. 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

Tretty good." Sir. Bang glanced
Down at his frnyed cuffs.

"Three," a little hesitation. "I think."
Apparently the man from Clnderburg
was not well acquainted with banks.

"The Commercial." Quite sure about
this, though It gave liltn no plcasura.
"Who's the president?"
"Dana T. Morley," and this answer

the other.

"Morley." J. Rufus stalled and strok
ed his stubby mustache. "Seems to ma

Mr. Bang considered that question In

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

In another day the New York (mpcrs
arrived. The New York papers bad not

of Mr. Wallingford's statements uor
the worth of Mr. Bung's Invention, but
they hnd seen a sensational "story"

saying.

"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

promised a profit and tbe owners of

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

tbe sun engines used in the United
States. 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

"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

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

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

introduced the Boston millionaire. Then
tbe five climbed Into the auto, and
the chauffeur, bis ears reddening from
their intent listening, drove up Main

the offices of Mr. Walllngford and Mr.
Bang and went over Immediately to
tell Dana T. Morley 's chauffeur that

"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

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

invited bim to dinner, and hastily de
clined an Invitation to a drink.
