HIS DAUGHTER LOTTA


nI FF1k ttWEns
Mr. Prentiss' boy came into the ex-
perimental department, where some
half dozen men were working. some
bending over retorts, others mixing
materials Of various hues In tubes and
mortars. Through an open door still
other men could be seen seated at
desks and tables.
Mr.. F1eischneri" called the boy.
He had to 60 to him before the old
German understood that he was
wanted. Mr.. F1eischner was heating a
glowing mass In hydrogen fame.
mr.. Watson wants you" said the
boy pertly, and went out. AS Fleisch-
ner put on his coat the younger men
looked at him alphabetically. Every
body knew that old F1eischner was
to be fired"
Mr.. Watson, the new manager Of
the company, sat at his desk In his
private Office He was a shrewd.
hard-looking man. about forty years
old, with neat black moustache and
an air of alertness. He kept the old
man waiting for full minute before
he looked up.
"F1eischner, I have been looking
over the books" he said How long
have you been here?"
Three years." answered Fleischner.
And before that you were an indie
pendent experimenter. You Induced
Mr.. Gilbert to give you a position at
fifteen dollars week under the plea
that you had In process way for
hardening vulcanite without sulphur.
Have you found it7'
mot yet. Mr.. Watson" cried
F1eischner excitedly, but soon! Soonl
It will be worth millions. it will"
Watson gazed coldly upon the old
man. He saw In him only a fanatic,
a parasitical fanatic who was living
upon the firm without producing any
returns. Since he had obtained con-
trolling interest and ousted Mr. Gil
bert, he had been cutting salaries and
expenses.
You can take your pay up to Satur-
day and 60" he said.
But, Mr.. Watson, +"
