been born 10 his wife Grace Rawn- He returns 10 Chicago.
 CHAPTER v-Rawn bargains with Miss Delaware to wear his iewelry and appear in public with him, as means 10 heip him in a business way.
 You gentlemen all know the gen eral theory of the invention" Halsey went on, again assuming the post of lecturer, which Rawn once more gra- eiously surrendered to him, waving a hand largely in his direction as though in explanation to the others. Its simply the attuning of a motor to the free electrical current in the air--the wireless idea, of course. You're post ed on all this. Now, I've got some little things here which will show some of the applications of our idea We'll make a little track, for rail way train, and we'll run it's motor here with current of our own. simply by our receiver for the free currents
 The thing was there to show for it self. As to the breadth of it's applica- ton, these men needed no advice. They were accustomed to the look ahead. to the weighing of wide possi- bilities.
 "That's the travel of the future, gen tlemen," said John Rawn soberly, at length. ..sThey can take or leave it. So can you.'
 Silence fell on that group of gray, grave men. The thing seemed to them uncanny, although so simple. They looked about, one at the other A sort of sigh passed about the room. There sat at the table men who represented untold millions of capital They were looking upon a device which in the be lief of all was about to multiply these millions many-fold
 Rawn was the first to break the silence.
 Gentlemen" said he, Of course this is the big part of our company patents, and it is over this that we've met today. You've been doubting my executive ability. l have shown you what the prize is that we're working for-there it is on the table. As to the difficulties of pulling of a thing ! as big as this, they are bigger in this case than could be expected or fig. ured out in advance. Our supeTin. tendent, Mir. Halsey here, tells me that he is having a great deal of trouble In labor matters. The men arS dis contented. and what is worse, they're | curious, all the time. We can't employ 1 just any sort of irresponsible labor, and we can't complete one machine we've got to bring them all through at ! once. together-and indeed, got pretty near to finish them all ourselves. We ! cant take any people in on this SC. cret, of course. It all takes time, and i E all takes money. What do you want. | gentlemen? I can't do much more than I have done"
 "And it's enough." cried the beard. ed man, his voice harsh, stridcnt with his emotion. We've got to have 1t! Let's stick, let's stick, fellows! They'll never shake us of. There is abso- | lutely no limit to this thing" i "Is that still the way you feel, Jim ?'' asked Standley from his end of the | table.
 ''Yes, it is; how about 1t. gentle men?" answered Ackerman's deep ! voice.
 ] His eyes turned from one to the other, and found TO dissent, although the air of each man was earnest, al most somber.
 Shake hands. then" called out the bearded man with enthusiasm, man who had swayed millions by the force of his own convictions before that time.
 Let's all shake hands, then, gentle men," said John Rawn.
 They did so, each man reaching out his hands to his neighbor; Halsey. of course. stepping back as not belong. ! ing to that charmed circle.
 Move We Journ," said Alderman. The president dropped the gavel on the table top.
 Ravn finally escaping from the crowd of importunate reporters who waited in the halls, at length broke i away to go to his rooms. He met Halsey in the lobby. The latter had ! in his hand a telegram. which shook somewhat as he extended it.
 Well" said Rawn. turning toward | him with a frown, what is ftp
 He read: Charles s. Halsey, The Palatial. New York: Your child is a girl The mother is doing well. You would best return at once. There Is slight deformity. You must share this grief with the mother when she knows-"
 Rawn dropped the message to the floor. Halsey's face looked SO des- perately old and sad that for one mo- ment Rawn almost forgot his own grief ~You'c better go on home, Char ley" he said. ~Too bad-to get such news nowi But isn't that just like a woman!"
