Sarah showed him.
"What will it cost to producer" he asked
Sarah told him.
The old man compressed his lips and
wrinkled his brow
"There should be money in that he said
at last
Hundreds Of thousands, father.
Perhaps. Well'"
~ want 10 tell you little story" said the
girl, about two modern Babes in the Wood,
and wicked uncles lurking behind every
tree"
When she had finished, the old man slowly
shook his head,
I'm afraid, my dear, that nothing can be
done J. w Kenderton will exercise his
option, probably on the dav before it expires,
and will fall into very good thing, SO far as
my judgment goes, although such modern
contrivanee is little out Of my line You
must see yourself that Mr. Stillwell Bronson is
quite at the mercy Of Kenderton"
know that only very, very clever man
can extricate US; that's why | have come to
my father"
For the first time the old man smiled.
What did you expect me to do2" he
asked
You are a city man, and know how to deal
with city men. thought perhaps you might
call on Kenderton, and persuade him to let
GO
Peter shook his head
Honest city men, and there are thousands
Of them. are not difficult to deal WITH but |
happen to know this man Kenderton. and he
is scoundrel Did YOU bring copies Of the
documents in the case with YOU Sarah9 I
must see exactly what Mr.. Bronson has
signed"
"Iknow those city sharks, and have always
tried TO steer clear OF them Do you think
this man Kenderton has any suspicion about
the value OF this invention2"
"No, from what my husband saws. Ken
derton speaks very sneeringly Of it, and quito
discourages Stillwell'
"Ahl then he knows all about it, said the
wise old man. "Will Mr.. Bronson follow
any Instructions you give himr'
"Why, certainly" cried the girl He's
my husband, you know, although you ignore
the fact, and find husband even easier to
manage than a father"
Again the victim smiled, but when he
spoke, he acknowledged the marriage.
"Tell your husband nothing regarding this
visit to me. Are you in financial straits2"
The girl sighed
"The going is little hard nov and then,
she said
"Ah, well, don't you worry about that,
Sarah; but don't say word TO your husband
This is case that requires caution, and we
must run no risks Persuade him to cease
work on this invention until the option runs
out, but urge him to see Kenderton now and
then, and beg for more money. Tell him to
say absolutely nothing about his invention
more than he can help, except to assure Ken
derton, as emphatically as possible, that he is
certain to succeed with it. If he is given little
money and some more time. But he must
refuse to show Kenderton any of his later
models | suppose you are convinced he will
overcome the mechanical difhculties?"
"Oh, surely" replied the girl
"Then he will be but speaking the truth il
he reiterates this 10 kenderton with all the
emphasis Of which he is capable As tht
limit Of the option approaches, spur him tc
greater emphasis, and advise change Of
method in the demand for money Let him
then offer Kenderton the whole invention foi
FIVE hundred pounds, il he will pay cash down
Heis to do this about week before the option
expires The day after the option lapscs,
will give him check TO repay Kenderton fol
all he has advanced, together with interest
but don't say word about that to your hus
band. Let him 90 quite honestly forward
trying his best to force his invention upor

to sign no document until he has brought it t
