it. shall tell you about my invention. and you won't believe a word say. It has been so in every case-all my life. I have taken my models to many capi' talists. They wouldn't look at the models; they looked at me. Personally, I am not practicable machine, and never got dollars worth of backing"
 "You are well-to-do," said Russell "Why haven't you put the thing on the market yourself?"
 II have some money in the bank and a little property besides," replied Deer ing; "but every invention involves risk, and will take no chances where my wife and children are involved. will not reach out after wealth even for them, if must hazard their comfort and security. We get along very well as we are."
 Russell could not help strongly ap- proving this decision, and he wondered why the words did not give him good impression of the man, but they did not. ''There must be something under all this" he thought. ''1 don't believe tho invention Is of any value." On the con- trary, an examination of the models convinced him that the invention was an electro motor destined to be of great practical utility. He had not deceived Mr. Ray in saying that he understood electrical contrivanceS He was really very well informed on the subject. In- deed, he was able to point out possible minor improvement in Deering's device, and thus to win the inventors respect. When they had discussed the model thoroughly, Russell had no doubt that it was the very thing he wanted. Moth. | ing but the terms remained to be set tied.
 On this point Deeriug was very firm. He would waive no right whatever, and he was with difficulty persuaded that it would be necessary for him to remain for time in the dark as to the exact nature of Russelfs relations with the capitalist. Finally Russell said: "1 | don't want your invention, except as a loan. will take it and give you my I. | O. U. for it, or any other legal or illegal instrument which the ingenuity of the law can devise. It shall bind me to re- tain the patent right in my own posses sion and to return it to you after two | years, with all the profits and advantages I have obtained by it, except the salary which I can delude' the company into paying me. In short, will borrow youl invention; develop it; and then return 1t to you. Is it bargain?"
 ''It is," said Deering, "for think yor
 are an honest man."
 "I wish could agree with you more 1 fully" said Russell to himself; "but a
 least my designs toward you are honor
 able"

'Gentlemon." said the chairman, rap ping on the desk, i've will now proceed to business. The secret committee has met and made resolution. After the lots are drawn it will be my task to in- form the man chosen what the job is. It is desirable that as few as possible, even among ourselves, should know who the man, is who has drawn the marked paper. Perhaps it may be my own good fortune to be the chosen man. One of the papers is marked with cross. Whoever draws that paper is to communicate with me at my room with in two days. He is to come alone. It is commanded by the committee that no man is to look at his paper until he leave this room and then to examine it in secret. He is bound by his oath to tell no one at any time whether or not he is the chosen man."
 The papers were put into a hat and each man in the room drew one. The chairman put his in his pocket as did the others. The doors were unlocked and each man made his way to his home.
 Next evening Bradley called at the room of the chairman and said: ''There is the marked paper which drew last night"

The papers had very full accounts of the opening of the show next morning, and perhaps because they occupied so much space there was such little room for the announcement about the man who committed suicide. The papers did not say where the body was found, except that it was near the exhibition buildings, and his Highness never knew that he made that excellent speech directly over the body of dead man. = Luke Sharp. in Detroit Free Press.
