Nobody could have failed to perceive that Alice was of a more sober and serious mind than she had been hetere.'1'he chairwhichshe had been occupying was sur- rounded by books of an educational and for- bidding character, and though there was a suggestionthattheyounglady had tired of eachinmandhadthrown them all upon thefloor, still their mere presence was por- tenuous. “ I have been thinking of what you said to me the other evening,” she began.‘ and I have come to the conclusion that you did not mean it.” - Russell wondered what it was and prepar- ed to violently disclaim it. “You gave me to understand that girls hadno htellectnal needs,” she continued. “ Heaven forgive me!” exclmmed Russell; “nothing wag: further from my thoughts. ” into paying me. In short, I will boi-rov'v your invention: develop it; and then return it to you. lg _it_ a bargmn'!’ ’ “ IE is," said. peering, "for I am.- you an an honest man.” “There!

I :uu not a prac muble machine. and 1 nm er got a. dollar 5 “orth of backing." Russell could not help strongly up proving this decidon, and he Wondered why the Words did not give him a good impresu'on of the man, but they did not. “There must be something under all this,” he thought. “I don‘t believe the invention is of any value.” 0n the contrary, an exam- ination of the models convinced him that the invention was an electro motor destined to be or great pmtical utility. He had not de- ceived Mr. Ray in saying that he understood electrical coutrivances. He was really very well informed on the subject. Indeed, he wasable to point out a possible minor im- provement in Deering's device, and thus to win the inventor’s respect. When they had diSCuN-d the model thoroughly. BEECH had no doubt that it was the very thing he want? ed. Nothing but the terms remained to be settled. «- “I have some money in the bank. and a lirr tle property besides,” replied Decring: “but every invention involves a risk, and I will take no chances Where my wife and children are involved. I will not reach out after wealth even for them, if I must hazard their comfort and swurity. “7e get along very well as we are.” But Russell, though he knew his own con- duct to be not above critic'mn, carried tho utmOSt candor in his countenence. He was a man to inspire confidenceâ€"and make the most of it. "‘ You don‘t like the looks of me,” said Deering. “Nobody does.” “On the contrary,” replied Russell, “I think you are rather a handsome 1mm.” “ It isn’t a'question of beauty," said Deer- !ng; “it’s confidence or the lack of it.
