"That doesn't matter, he may be in the
attic"
So they both climbed up the stairs,
Bridget wringing her hands and crying,
"Oh. mum, it was not me fault at all, at
all!'
Mrs. Nolan happened to think that it
was Halloween and tried to comfort the
nurse and herself by saying: "You know,
Bridget, goblins and fairies hold full sway
tonight, and I'm sure they have taken
him away for little while to teach him a
lesson and will bring him back to US soon
all safe and sound"
OF course they didn't find him in the
attic, and 1 know my little readers are
anxious to learn what had really become
| of him.
Well, after he had been carried through
the ceiling and through the roof by strong
hands that he could not see, then over
trees and housetops, he was suddenly let
down into a very strange place. 1t was
just like great big bathtub. and there he
had to stand in water Gust think of it;

him danced and grinned queer little black

This, of course, frightened the pool

STEAL INVENTIONS.

Pirates In the World of Discovery Who
Thrive Upon Stolen Ideas.
As Thomas A. Edison watched the
pumping of air from glass tube in his
laboratory day or two ago man said
to him: 80
"You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr.. Edison?'
II d." said Mr.. Edison. "And do
you know why I do it?''
II suppose you do it so you will reap
the benefit of your discovery was
the reply.
II thought you'd say that" said Mr..
Edison; and I don't suppose you will
believe me when tell you it isn't so.
But it isn't so, nevertheless. Idiscover
q great many things that would be
very glad to give to the public for
nothing, but don't dare. I patent
these things to save myself from de-
Tending lawsuits. There are lot of
sharks in this world who are continu-
ally on the lookout for new things, and
when one of them hears of something
new he hustles to the patent Office to
see if it is patented. If it isn't he
claims it as an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin suit
against the very man who invented the
things for making or using it. The
inventor will say: But I discovered
this thing first; am the inventor He
is referred to the patent office, where
he finds the official claim Of original
invention. The fact that the papers are
filed long after he made his discovery
does not help him, for all the other man
does is to hire a fellow to swear that he
made the discovery a month or two
prior to the date the inventor claims.
It sounds ridiculous, probaly, but it
is fact, that there are often races be-
tween the inventors and these sharks
to reach the patent Office, the sharks
having had early information about
the inventors discovery. There are
many such races, and thousands of
dollars depend on each one. What I
say is literally true. I patent things,
and no doubt, many other inventors
patent things, just to save defending
lawsuits" IN. Y. Sun.
